Chapter 240 Regulus, Go All the Way!
After Professor Lupine took over the processing of ordinary infernal corpses, Harley only left a small part of her attention to focus on other directions, preventing the appearance of fish that slipped through the net or the sudden madness of the werewolf Professor Lupine.
She concentrated most of her energy on dealing with the two giant ghost corpses.
It is actually very difficult for a witch who has not yet reached the level of a demigod to deal with a dark creature that is essentially a dead corpse.
After all, most of the black magic and curses that the witch path is good at are ineffective against the dead, and the disease aura and joy ability cannot be useful against corpses.
They are all dead, how can they get sick or happy?
As for the spider silk, although it is very powerful in terms of restraint, it does not do enough damage to even cut through the giant's skin.
Only black flames and ice can cause damage to giant corpses, but it will take a long time to break through their defenses.
It can be said that most of the abilities of the Witch Path are severely restricted.
But Harley is not helpless. The greatest advantage of human beings lies in the flexible use of weapons and tools at their disposal.
The previous "Law of Ten Thousand Laws: The Existence of Undead is Forbidden Here" has already marked all the corpses close to the small island as criminals, and the "judgment" ability has weakened the physical fitness of these "criminals".
However, under the condition of maintaining a large-scale weakening, it will take more spirituality to formulate new laws, so Harley did not formulate new rules, but used the witch's own abilities.
Several icy spears and black flames quickly condensed behind Harley and kept circling.
Harry waved his hand lightly, and the magic mirror that floated in mid-air before spit out two dim dark green rays of light, covering the spear.
Through the micro-manipulation of the spider silk, Harley made the materials in the magic mirror quickly form a ceremony, a ceremony specially targeting the Extraordinary of the six living corpses of the heterogeneous (prisoner) pathway sequence.
Almost instantly, the ice spear and fireball blasted towards the two giant ghost corpses.
At the same time, Harry took a step forward, opened his mouth and let out an invisible scream!
An illusory halo of blue color gushed out of Harry's body in an instant, and under Harry's control, it precisely flew towards the two giant corpses.
"Frozen World!"
For ordinary witches of pain, they can only let the frozen world spread to a certain range around them based on their own body.
But Harley is no ordinary Witch of Pain, she is already extremely close to Sequence Four.
Under such circumstances, with the long-term practice and repeated use of extraordinary abilities, Harley has been able to release the halo at a fixed point!
The fireball and the ice spear came to the front of the giant corpse first, and slammed heavily on their faces.
The two giant Yin corpses took several steps back. The ice spear did not leave any obvious injuries on their bodies, but the fireball left obvious scorched marks.
Harley was not surprised by this, after all, infernal corpses are afraid of fire, and giant infernal corpses are also infernal corpses.
Therefore, the damage of the black flames to them is more obvious, and the purpose of the ice spear is not to cause damage, but to add ritual effects to them.
Where the ice spear hit, a dark green light quietly emerged.
These rays of light are extremely dim, even if you look carefully, it is difficult to detect.
They are like maggots attached to the bones, which are difficult to get rid of, and slowly sink into the skin of the giant corpse.
The speed of the two giant corpses slowed down again, their movements became more rigid, and the ominous fluctuations of magic power emanating from their bodies also began to slowly weaken.
The ensuing blue halo instantly passed over the giant corpses, and the ice instantly froze them, and beautiful and dreamy snowflakes floated in the sky.
Like sharp blades, the snowflakes melted into the ice, and continued downward, successfully leaving scars on the skin of the giant Yin Corpse, opening a hole for the cold air to enter.
Of course, cold air can enter, and so can black flames.
The ice layer can't last long, because the ice blocks outside the two giant corpse ice sculptures similar to the warrior's path have already begun to fall.
Although they have no intelligence and no life, the two giant infernal corpses have carried out the tasks left by Voldemort very well, struggling constantly, trying to get out of the shackles of the ice.
But the restraint was enough for this time, and Harry flicked his wand lightly, and the black flames condensed above her head again.
Although it was the innate ability bestowed on him by the witch potion of Sequence Seven, Harley found that using the wand for assistance would make it easier for him to perform micromanagement.
With the help of the magic wand, the black flame became more vigorous and excited, as if it had its own emotions and wanted to burn everything.
This time, Harley chose directly to borrow a certain amount of personality and power from the mythical creature form.
While the green light in her eyes was flowing, the power of the black flame was also far greater than before.
"Goodbye," said Harry softly, giving a sharp snap of his wand forward.
The black flames are like a fire python, rushing towards the two giant corpses, wrapping and devouring them directly.
The ice on the surface of the giant infernal corpses melted rapidly, and the temperature difference between extreme cold and extreme heat made their skin more fragile.
And the black flame followed the defense loophole that Snowflake had opened, and invaded the body of the giant Yin Corpse.
During the last wizarding war, giants were an important force under Voldemort's command, so it was impossible for Voldemort to make too many giant corpses, lest the giants rebel and drive other dark creatures to renounce.
Since he cannot win by quantity, Voldemort can only improve quality.
When choosing the guards, he made a careful choice, and the two giant corpses he chose were full of muscles.
Soon, there was a smell of burnt feathers, and the two giant infernal corpses fell completely before landing, turning into two balls of torches, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Harry just glanced at them silently, then waved his wand.
Invisible spider threads appeared, and a vast web was laid around the island.
This is not only to guard against the Infernal Corpse, but also to guard against Professor Lu Ping who doesn't know whether to stay rational.
Although I feel sorry for Professor Lupin, he has turned into a werewolf, and he still exudes an aura similar to that of the Rose School and the Celestial School.
This kind of situation where the whole person is suspected of being replaced, Harley has seen a lot.
So she won't be sad or mourning now, just wary of it.
"Professor Lupin, the giant Yin corpse has been solved, and the ordinary Yin corpse can be put ashore."
After completing the simple precautionary work, Harry said aloud, by the way, try to see if Professor Lupine still has wisdom left.
Contrary to Harry's expectations, Professor Lupine, who has been turned into a werewolf, seems to still have the ability to think, and he no longer desperately shoots the flying ghosts.
Of course, he didn't try to get back into the spider web, but stood on the edge of the island, only defending in that direction.
With the cooperation of the ice and the spider web, Sirius soon let out a cry of surprise:
"Harry, I saw Regulus!"
As he said that, Sirius waved his magic wand, and two ropes were conjured up, tightly binding an infernal corpse on the spider web.
It was a handsome young man, his facial features were very similar to Sirius, it seemed to be his appearance when he was young.
He was wearing a dark green robe, which seemed to be well preserved due to the power of magic.
"It's Master Regulus!" Kreacher also let out a cry of surprise,
"Old Mistress, old Kreacher, old Kreacher saw Master Regulus again!"
"Then I'll make it quick," said Harry softly, waving his wand at the same time.
The spider web in that direction broke instantly, and only a few spider threads were still tightly bound Regulus.
Sirius flicked his wand vigorously, and the rope that was tightly binding Regulus flew back in an instant.
Sirius looked at his younger brother at his feet, and his eyes turned red again unconsciously.
"Total petrification!" Sirius pointed at Regulus and yelled to stop him from struggling, and then responded loudly to Harry,
"Okay, Harley, get rid of these infernal corpses!"
As he spoke, the tip of Sirius' wand burst into flames, which spread rapidly.
Harley no longer used ice, but used all the power of the black flame.
The yin corpses that climbed ashore were quickly burned to death under the flames, while the yin corpses behind seemed to be unaware of what was happening ahead, and were still emerging from the water one by one.
After an unknown period of time, all the corpses in the cave were finally cleaned up.
The cave was quiet again, only the flame at the tip of Sirius' wand was emitting light.
Professor Lu Ping stood at the farthest direction from the crowd, and he didn't change back to his original shape, nor did he take the initiative to come over.
Sirius looked at his good friend and directly turned into a big black dog, wanting to communicate with his good friend.
But he just let out a "woof", and a curse suddenly passed through the air.
"Human form restored!" Harry first chanted the spell silently for a long time, and finally spit out a clear word.
The light hit Professor Lu Ping's body, and Professor Lu Ping's body stiffened instantly.
Afterwards, the black hair on his body retracted into the skin under the eyes of everyone, and the wolf's head also began to shorten, turning back into a human face...
In less than a minute, Professor Lupine reverted to the pale and thin man.
Seeing this, Sirius rushed over immediately, first walked around Professor Lupin for a long time, and then remembered that he was about to transform into a human form.
"Remus, how do you feel? Are you not injured?" Sirius asked anxiously as soon as he returned to his human form.
Professor Lupine shook his head: "I feel okay, but I'm a little weak, probably the aftereffects of turning into a werewolf and back again."
"So Uncle Remus, why did you suddenly become a werewolf." Harry also stepped forward and asked with concern.
However, she and Professor Lu Ping kept a distance of two bodies and kept a certain amount of vigilance.
Professor Lupine hesitated for a moment, and then said in a guessing tone: "I don't know, but I feel like I have become complete."
"I've never felt so comfortable, so...complete since being bitten by another damned werewolf, that Greyback?"
Professor Lupine spat out the last word in a slightly puzzled tone. Obviously, it was also difficult for him to describe his current state.
Harry nodded, and with a wave of his wand, Professor Lupine's wand flew up from where he stood before he turned into a werewolf, and returned to Professor Lupine's hand.
"By the way, Harley, what was that spell you used to force me back into human form?"
Professor Lupine put his wand back into his pocket, then patted the dust off his body, and asked.
"The Restoration Charm," Harry explained, "a spell invented by an old wizard that can force a werewolf to return to its original form on a full moon night."
"However, the spell cannot permanently transform the werewolf back to its original form, it can only ensure that the transformation is suppressed for about 12 hours."
"The Lockhart from the last school year stole this memory from the old wizard, and wrote down the Restoration Spell in his notebook by the way."
"At the end of last school year, he wanted to kill me, but I killed him instead, and this spell, as one of his legacy, fell into my hands."
When he heard that someone wanted to kill Harley, Sirius was furious.
After hearing that the person had died, he breathed a sigh of relief, and angrily spit on the ground beside him:
"Damn trash! You deserve it if you die!"
Professor Lupine, who already knew all this, just sighed and focused on this spell:
"Is this human recovery spell really that effective? I mean... if it's a werewolf on a full moon night, is it still as effective?"
Harry shook his head: "Sorry, Uncle Remus, I'm not sure."
"According to Lockhart's records in his notes, the foreign old wizard seemed to have turned the werewolf back into a human form on the night of the full moon."
"But I managed to learn the spell just before Easter, and was going to try it on your next full moon night."
"If it is true, I am going to write this spell into a paper and publish it to save more werewolves."
Listening to Harry's words, Professor Lupine's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Because of his status as a werewolf, he has endured discrimination for too long, and he couldn't even find a good job.
Although Damocles invented the wolfsbane potion, this potion can only keep werewolves rational on a full moon night, and cannot eliminate the characteristics of those werewolves.
But judging from the previous effects, this human form recovery spell can make the werewolf return to human form for a short time!
Moreover, the materials of Wolfsbane Potion are expensive, difficult to brew, and the overall price is extremely high. Only wealthy potion masters are qualified and interested in brewing it.
Werewolves who were poor and of low social status had no access to this potion master at all, and even if they were lucky enough to come into contact with one, they basically could not afford to buy it.
And the Humanoid Restoration Curse is just a spell, apart from the difficulty of learning, it can be said to be costless!
It is no exaggeration to say that Harley's move gave the werewolves new hope!
"Since Remus is fine, let's go back to Black's old house." Sirius picked up his brother's body and subconsciously spun on the spot.
His body was illusory for a moment, and then he sat back on the ground: "f...k!"
Sirius stood up and rubbed his head: "My stupid head, I forgot that I can't apparate here..."
Sirius' voice became quieter, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Kreacher,
"Wait, why is Kreacher able to Apparate here?"
Professor Lupine rolled his eyes, resisting his desire to hammer Sirius' head:
"Did you forget? When we went to the Hogwarts dining hall, the house-elves could Apparate in Hogwarts."
"Later, I checked the books and found that the magic system of the house elves is different from ours, and the anti-apparition in Hogwarts has no effect on them."
Sirius slapped his head: "Yes, I remember you mentioned it, but I forgot about it."
Looking at Sirius, Professor Lupine couldn't help sighing: "I think the old principal Phineas is right, read more books, Sirius!"
Sirius immediately retorted: "James definitely doesn't know about it!"
"So does this have something to do with your reading more?" Professor Lupine couldn't help but thumped the old man's back.
Sirius was taken aback for a moment, then changed the subject decisively: "Kreacher, take us back!"
"Yes, Master Sirius!" Kreacher said respectfully, never taking his eyes off Regulus' corpse.
...
The group soon returned to Black's old house, and Hermione was sitting in the living room flipping through the astrology books she had just borrowed.
But judging from the fact that she looked up at her watch twice every time she turned a page, Hermione's mind might not be on the book.
When Hermione saw a figure appearing in the open space of the living room, Hermione immediately stood up and rushed over in three steps at a time.
"Harry, are you okay?"
"It's okay," Harry shook his head, "It's just a ghost, it can't hurt me at all."
Phineas on the wall yawned, thinking Hermione was unnecessary.
His eyes circled around the person who came back, and finally settled on the young man lying on the ground.
Phineas was half reclining on a leather chair, enjoying a glass of wine from a Hogwarts portrait with Mrs. Black.
But when he saw Regulus' body, he sat up in a "babble".
"Reculus..." Phineas whispered the name softly, his voice full of complex emotions.
This child is his most promising junior, and the only one that Phineas evaluates as a real Slytherin——
Wisdom, strength, high emotional intelligence, cunning but brave and kind, even can treat house elves with a pleasant face.
He didn't tell anyone about his opinion at the beginning, but prepared to guide Regulus quietly, wanting him to become the second Slytherin headmaster of Hogwarts.
As a result, Mr. Black and Mrs. Black, his ineffective juniors, let Regulus join the Death Eaters, and later Regulus died silently.
This incident made Phineas, who was used to seeing death, sad for several days.
And now seeing his junior again, even though it was just a corpse, Phineas was still full of emotion in his heart.
After a long time, Phineas picked up the wine glass in his hand:
"Regulus, my favorite junior, go all the way!"
As he spoke, Phineas poured lightly, and the wine in the glass spilled over the entire frame.
