Chapter 578: Behind the Curtain (Revised, Sincere Thanks to the Leader Yezui Mengwuhen)
The sudden attack of the black substance left Allen no time to react. As soon as he was pulled into the arch, his heart sank suddenly, and the despair and unwillingness drowned him like a raging tide - he was like this dying.
Allen was wrapped in the black mist and pulled behind the curtain. Allen, who had closed his eyes and waited for death to come, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the string around his neck that Luna gave him in surprise. The necklace with the Deathly Hallows symbol was emitting blue light, as if tracing Allen's figure, wrapping him tightly.
Before he had time to think about it, a kind of joy of surviving a disaster hit him violently. His strong desire to survive made him pay attention to his situation. He was falling, entangled in the black mist and falling continuously, and from time to time, he seemed to be around him. There are meteors passing by, but not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top, as if the sky has been turned upside down.
It feels like many, many years have passed. Allen, who was already exhausted, tried to wave his wand to cast a spell, trying to get rid of the shackles of the black mist, but the wand did not respond at all, so he had to let himself continue to fall.
Although there was gray mist all around, he couldn't see how far away the ground was, but he could feel how fast he was falling. He didn't know what was waiting for him below. Even in his dream, he couldn't keep falling like this forever.
The ground was finally close enough to be seen through the fog. It seemed to be a set of hills. Although it was still far away and far away, it was always closer. It was dark and cold in mid-air, with no sun and no stars - only a dim gray light emitting from the sky, and only the earth and gray fog coming towards me.
At this time, Allen fell faster and faster, rushing toward the hills, gray fog roaring in his ears. He looked down and saw the ground coming towards him, the whole world spread out below, which even made him forget his fear for a moment. In this gray wilderness, mist swirls constantly between gaunt trees and dangerous cliffs.
The black substance that originally enveloped him suddenly began to tremble and rotate around him. The mist slapped his cheeks and obscured his sight. He could not help but sway up and down in the air, and finally a sharp pain came from his back. , he was thrown into the barren land on the hill where there was nothing but black and gray soil and gravel.
Allen just felt dizzy. The gravel on the ground did not really break through the blue shield on his body and hurt him, but the strangeness coming from his body after being nervous made him look at the skin on his hands. Some special scars were there. It appeared on his skin, and the feeling on his face made Allen understand that these exposed places were hurt. Through recalling Allen, he learned that these scars were left when he was entangled with the black substance at the moment before entering the curtain. .
The black material was constantly tumbling and surging, expanding rapidly and turning into a huge circular shield to trap Allen here. "Why does this look a bit like the Obscurus? But obviously there is no Obscurus for it to parasitize... ..." Allen observed for a while, and then contacted the special scars on the skin, which allowed him to identify that this black mist might be a powerful Obscurus, but he did not notice the existence of a host, which made Allen dare not Come to this conclusion.
No longer thinking about it, Allen, who was already very tired, did not intend to have any more contact with the other party. He began to try to escape. Allen first changed into the Animagus form and wanted to use the ability of the Phoenix to teleport away from here, but I tried several times in succession, but even if I turned into a phoenix, I could only teleport within this prototype shield.
Allen waved the wand again unwillingly, trying to cast the door to another world. This time it was not to summon the devil, but to let himself go in and teleport away. However, the wand still did not respond at all - not because of fatigue and lack of physical strength, but because of lack of physical strength. It was the wand itself that had lost its connection with Allen. Its core seemed to have died because it passed through the curtain, and could no longer respond to any of Allen's spellcasting actions.
I don't know if it was influenced by the environment, but the irritability caused by disappointment made Allen tore off his coat and loosened his collar. The Animagus, the gate to the other world, and the wand had no effect at all. Allen anxiously pulled the tie off his neck. Since the wand couldn't be used, Allen decided to try casting without a wand again, although he couldn't use this technique to cast too advanced magic. curse.
With his last hope, Allen roared: "Collapse." A flash of magic spell lit up the dark world and ignited Allen's hope. He shook his fist excitedly, "It works! "
Allen felt much more at ease. As a wizard, nothing could bring him more security than being able to cast magic. The feeling of losing the ability to cast spells made Allen feel like he had become a Muggle again. , at the mercy of others.
Since you can cast spells without a wand, it means that you will not be defenseless in this unknown place, and it means that you can get out of this damn black matter and survive.
Allen's coma spell hit the layer of black matter, and the shield turned into ripples. During the ripples, the power of the spell was eliminated, and it seemed that it did not cause any damage to the black matter. Allen was a little disappointed and frightened, so he reluctantly used the petrification spell. Allen wanted to petrify it into a more solid form, and then try to crush it to get himself out of trouble.
But to his disappointment, like water droplets flowing into a river, the black substance still stubbornly enveloped Allen.
"Is it because these spells are too low-level and UUReading www.uukkanshu.net are not powerful enough, so I have no choice but to use this black substance?" Allen, who made a judgment in his heart, became cruel. As the casting time took longer than usual with the wand, More divine blades shot out from his fingertips. He slumped back to the ground tiredly, not caring to check his own status. All of Allen's thoughts were rushing forward with this spell that had the nature of black magic. , Shenfeng Wuying, who carried Allen's infinite hope, stirred up bigger ripples on the surging barrier of black matter, but it was just a ripple...
Allen, who had not given up yet, learned through experiments that although these black substances were very similar to the Obscurus in the records, they also belonged to darkness, but the difference was that this black mist also carried the power of death and shadow. Although their The attack comes with its own curse, but Allen feels that this power is not divided into good and evil, and does not come with its own camp like Avada Kedavra or those powers from the devil.
Allen's heart sank little by little, "So what if I can cast a magic spell? I still can't escape the confinement of this black substance. Am I just going to have to wander in this small space for the rest of my life? What if I can release the patron saint without a wand?" Curse..." Thinking of this, Allen glanced at the wand, which was still completely unresponsive. His whole body was cold, and a strong feeling of powerlessness and loneliness emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He pressed his hand on the sensory mark on his arm. If he wanted to contact his family or friends through the mark, anyone could do it. As long as he could be contacted, the mark was as cold as any inch of skin on his arm. When communication was successful, it should be There were no signs such as fever. Allen then tried to use the mark to locate it. However, the mark seemed to be just a beautiful tattoo, and there was no response.
Allen clenched his fists, and the pain from his nails digging into his palms kept him calm, "What the hell is this place?!"
