Chapter 190 Dedicate My Life (Updated)
The body of the wand lit up with a faint golden light, and the roar of the Thestral came from the void. Thousands of black threads as thin as silk were shot out from the end of the wand, slowly wrapping the whole blood ball, and finally the crimson blood ball was The entire surface is covered in black.
The blood ball began to vibrate strongly, and Schelling knew that this was Armand's counterattack inside the blood ball.
Even though Xie Lin had the upper hand and the initiative at the moment, he didn't dare to overdo it. The magic power gap between the two sides was too big. Without the ability to use the Death Curse, he wanted to seal the soul of an opponent whose magic power was dozens of times greater than his own. No easy task.
He suddenly tightened his grip on the wand and increased the output of magic power, and his forehead began to sweat profusely.
Xie Lin gritted his teeth, not daring to relax even half-heartedly. As long as he persisted a little longer, when Armand's soul was sealed, Draco would transform from the black mist back to his original body, and then he would put the Horcrux inside again. If the split soul is also eliminated, then everything will be fine.
Suddenly, the mirror frame placed on the small table next to the bed suddenly burst into light and shot out a black light. With the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, the black light shot into the blood cells.
The blood ball exploded suddenly, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
Armand had transformed into Draco and stood below where the blood ball was.
"Amazing!" Armand said with heavy breaths. His expression was no longer as frivolous as before, but more serious. "I actually almost fell into your hands."
Fall short!
Xie Lin transferred the wand to his left hand, then lowered his aching right hand and waved it gently to relieve the numbness on his right wrist. He carefully felt the remaining magic power in his body, and found that almost half of it had been consumed, and his heart suddenly felt cold. He looked at the other party with his magic eyes again. He saw that the other party's magic power was even more depleted than his own, but the total amount was still several times that of his own, and he felt cold again.
If the magic value is measured by the life curse, Armand's magic power is enough to cast the life curse with full power three times, but he can only cast the life curse with a slightly reduced power once at most.
(Note: For comparison, Voldemort used 5 death curses, 1 silver shield transfiguration, a fire elemental transfiguration, and several apparations in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries)
"Let me guess," Armand seemed to have guessed what Schelling was thinking, and Armand said with a ferocious smile: "You have now discovered that your magic power is insufficient, right? Are you unable to use many powerful magics?"
"That's a long way to go!" Xie Lin was not affected by Armand's heart-wrenching words at all, and said coldly, "You are undoubtedly stronger than me in terms of magic power, but the victory or defeat in battle is not determined by the total amount of magic power -"
"I don't think I will lose to an old antique who has been sleeping for hundreds of years! The mighty power of darkness, give me your life in exchange for my strength!" After saying that, Xie Lin's aura increased steadily, and his magic power surged crazily. It's like the rapids of the Yangtze River.
"You're crazy!" Even Armand's state of mind couldn't help but be shocked by Schelling's madness. There is only one way to stimulate the magic of grain-
Life Sacrifice Magic!
This kind of magic increases the density and condensation of magic power by sacrificing one's own vitality and lifespan, squeezing and compressing the magic power in the body to the extreme. This kind of magic is taboo even in the field of dark magic. Only the craziest dark wizards can cast it. And as far as he knows, these dark wizards have either taken the blood of unicorns or made Horcruxes. , or once transformed his body through black magic.
These dark wizards may have to pay the price of having their souls cursed, but they also have a lifespan that is different from ordinary people.
It was unheard of for him to be as decisive as Xie Lin, to directly risk his own life without any backup plan.
Xie Lin's magic power has basically returned to its peak level, or even beyond it. He spat out a large mouthful of shocking blood, his face was horribly pale, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Black magic... you are not the only one who can use it!"
"Naive! Even if you regain your magic power, do you think this is enough to defeat me?" Although Armand was a little shocked by Schelling's determination, he still said calmly. After all, under the current situation, although the difference in magic power between the two is not big, he still has the upper hand in total magic power. Coupled with Xie Lin's weakening body, it will inevitably affect his ability to cast spells and dodge. Wing it.
The only hateful thing was that the body he wanted to acquire was actually destroyed because of Xie Lin's actions, which made him feel resentful.
"From the beginning, in order to avoid causing even a little bit of damage to your body, I have always chosen to attack the soul, and therefore I cannot use my full strength. Since you want to die so much, then I will help you now!"
"Destroy the soul!" Armand shouted sharply, and a silver-white scythe appeared in mid-air. The blade had a dark green translucent aura, as if it was a spirit body full of evil aura. Holding the sickle. That aura is somewhat similar to the "god of death" revealed by the Death Curse under the observation of the magic eye, but the aura is much thinner. It is most likely a derivative of the Death Curse.
But Schelling was faster than him. He said "thunder and lightning", and saw a white light emitted from the front of the wand, hitting Armand almost at the speed of light!
What Schelling cast was Grindelwald's specialty, the "Thunderbolt Spell". This spell is almost the fastest among all known magics, and it can instantly paralyze the recipient as soon as it comes into contact, making the opponent lose the power to fight back, and it can also cause physical pain similar to electric shock.
Armand was blown away in an instant, and the whole person fell on Draco's big bed, rolling to the ground with the bed, and the big bed was blown into pieces in an instant. This is not over yet. As the big bed was blown to pieces, white lightning tongue arcs flew everywhere, and a split arc shot onto the mirror stand on the table, blowing the mirror into pieces!
At the same time, the silver-white sickle was swung in front of Schelling!
"Aquila!" Schelling shouted loudly, and an eagle-shaped phantom appeared from behind Schelling's neck, turning into a fleeting light, hitting the handle of the sickle, knocking the angle of the sickle off!
Xie Ling moved his feet slightly to dodge, but the sickle only lightly scratched the skin on his left shoulder. There was a sizzling sound on the skin, and Xie Ling gasped in pain. This sickle can hurt the body while directly hurting the soul!
"The winner is decided!" Xie Ling raised his head, with an inexplicable light in his eyes, and his platinum-colored hair fluttered without wind, revealing his smooth forehead.
First, a small red diamond appeared on the forehead, and then the diamond seemed to come alive, extending red lines, and finally turned into a beautiful lotus blooming pattern.
Hufflepuff's exclusive secret - creation and regeneration!
Xie Ling's whole body suddenly glowed with a milky white halo filled with holy breath, which was a strong vitality!
This vitality flowed through his body, repairing the injuries he had sustained. Soon, no matter the injuries caused by Schelling's own sacrifice or the injuries caused by "Soul Severing and Soul Breaking", they were all restored without leaving any trace.
The need to consume a large amount of magic power is official. In the original text, Moody said "Avada Kedavra's a curse that needs a powerful bit of magic behind it". Many fans like to talk nonsense that the Kedavra is driven by murderous intent or evil thoughts. It's nonsense. Did Snape also have murderous intent/evil thoughts when he killed Dumbledore?
