Chapter 159 Hermione's Oborozuki

From Hermione's perspective, this happened when the original soul of this body completely merged with her.

Countless little girls' childhood memories arrive with crystal clarity, as if carved by a knife.

Mixed with them was a torrent of light, a new magic sent by the Faded Ones!

New knowledge!

The ocean of her spirit gradually dissipated, leaving only the bright moon, which grew larger and larger until it swallowed her whole.

She was curled up inside the moon like a newborn infant, but neither she nor the moon were physical entities. It seemed that the two overlapped, forming a mysterious intermediate state. Whether it was magic or swords, if they passed through at this moment, it was as if they passed through a layer of light and shadow, and could not cause any harm.

She has no eyes, yet she can see; she has no mouth, yet she can speak; she has no wings, yet she can fly; she has no fingers, yet she can touch with magic!

"Lena's Full Moon".

The idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

This is Queen Kalia's symbolic magic, which can summon the full moon to descend upon her. The moon will fly towards the enemy, and the full moon can eliminate all magic that it touches. Queen Lena met the moon when she was young—that beautiful moon that later became the Conqueror Academy.

"And Rani's Darkmoon."

Guided by her mother Lena, young Ni encounters the moon—a cold, dark, and mysterious moon.

"And there's more! New magic! Lena's Twin Moons!"

"The Queen of the Full Moon has a sister! The twins' moon phases are completely hidden by her sister!" Hermione exclaimed inwardly. After becoming queen, the Faded One had turned back and ventured into the sealed Shadowlands, experiencing an even more exciting adventure!

However, unlike these three, the lunar magic of the Kalia royal family is merely a higher-level combat technique and does not actually transform a person into the moon.

Whether it's Lena's Full Moon, Rani's Dark Moon, or the newly acquired Twin Moons, they all transform into lunar discs for a fleeting moment upon activation. Afterward, the magically formed moons detach from their forms and fly off to attack the enemy.

The magician himself will fall back to his original position.

But hers seemed different; the Animagus of this world had merged with lunar magic, resulting in a wondrous transformation.

"Could it really be the effect of the Moon-obsessed Beast's excrement?" For a moment, she was less resistant to the leaf stained with excrement.

Immersed in the moon, everything outside seemed distant, yet she could clearly hear the conversation between the two professors below.

But she couldn't communicate with them at the moment; most of her energy was focused on the moon.

Like her moonlight, she would etch a vast magical realm onto the earth. While maintaining the shape of the moon, it seemed that her consciousness was also infinitely elevated. In the pure and radiant lunar world, knowledge of magic and the growth of magical power were increasing at an astonishing rate.

The new, profound magic she acquired would have probably given her a splitting headache in the past, but in this moon-shaped form, she felt no fatigue at all, and instead absorbed and grew at an extremely fast pace.

The perfumers' perfumery techniques; the secret prayers of the Horned People; the fiery dragon Belial and the secrets of the Dragon's Feast; the new lightning gun and gravity magic; the thorny buds rejected by the Shadow Tree; the terrible corruption of the Saintess and the Insect People; the golden tree prayers hidden by the Eternal Queen Marika; the various magics and finger secrets of Ymir, the tutor of the Kalia royal family and later the High Priest—even the Mad Fire of Midra, the Mad Fire King.

There are too many things to mention, including many secrets hidden deep within the borderlands. These are things she could never have access to during her years as the Finger Witch. Even the broken Mother Finger and the Two Fingers, who cannot receive divine pronouncements, almost shattered her worldview once again. Those were the Two Fingers she had worshipped for so long!

But Animagus's progress was unaffected; it steadily operated its lunar phases, its magic thriving and growing, as if this were how it was supposed to be.

She even suspected that if she remained in this form forever, she might become more powerful than Grindelwald, more powerful than anyone or anything in this world, until she became a real moon!

At that time, perhaps just like at the border, people will see different full moons, and in addition to the real moon, there will be a magical moon.

"Then what should I call my moon?" she suddenly wondered during a break from receiving the magic.

Since so many changes have already occurred, it is no longer appropriate to call it Reina's Full Moon or Ni's Dark Moon.

She recalled the hazy moon she had seen in the spiritual world, which seemed to be constantly surrounded by a halo.

"How about we call her Hermione's Oborozuki?"

Similar to the Full Moon magic, the moon she is currently transforming into does not seem to be the ultimate form. The Dark Moon that the Faded One learned is defined as a legendary magic, while her mother's Full Moon is only a high-level magic.

Hermione could sense that her Moonlit Blade also had the potential to advance, and that required her to continue exploring and growing.

"However, if the moon becomes my Animagus, can it still fly out and attack like the original magic?" With a thought, she separated herself from the moon.

No, it should be said that she transformed back into human form from the moon, and her own magic seamlessly transformed into a new moon. As she slowly landed, the moon turned into a pure energy body. This energy was extremely large. At the moment of separation, Hermes felt a wave of exhaustion. Fortunately, the Golden Thief Shining Stone she carried with her relieved a lot of the pressure.

She could sense the terrifying power contained within it; she estimated that any spell thrown at it would be completely dissolved, which was consistent with the behavior of the lunar magic in the border region.

As soon as she landed, the two professors rushed over.

"Thank goodness, everything is normal. Nose, ears, legs, nothing is missing or extra!" McGonagall carefully examined Hermione.

Lily stared at the moon in the sky: "What's this? Is it the little moon you gave birth to?"

Hermione was surprised that Lily had this kind of thought process: "No, it's just one of the functions of my Animagus, which can be used to attack or confuse the enemy."

She pointed and defused the massive bomb that was about to land; if it had exploded here, it might have blown through the 8th floor.

"You really worried us. What happened? Your Animagus turned into a moon?" McGonagall looked shaken. Although she was an expert in this area, it was still an unexpected situation.

Hermione thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because of my Brilliant Stone magic? No wonder the heartbeats I heard earlier sounded like stones; the moon itself is a big lump of stone!"

McGonagall couldn't help but laugh: "This is really puzzling, but thankfully everything is still in order. You have a unique transformation form, and you can't even be called Animagus anymore."

"If this happened decades ago, registering with the Ministry of Magic would have been the hottest news."

"Thanks to Grindelwald, he blew up the Ministry of Magic, so I don't have to register and be surrounded by people."

In short, despite some setbacks, the outcome was quite good. The two professors, concerned about the students still studying, rushed back to continue their class after confirming that Hermione was indeed unharmed and had no aftereffects.

The entire transformation process only took a dozen minutes, which was quite fast. The communication she had with Hermione in the mental world and the new messages she received from the Faded Ones were only a moment in the outside world.

After the professors left, she continued experimenting with the changing shapes of the moon alone in the Room of Requirement.

The score would fly over curiously, wondering why its master had suddenly turned into a ball much larger than itself. In moon form, her thinking speed was greatly accelerated. She discovered that after fully merging with the real Hermione, she did indeed have many memories that she didn't remember or that were blurred, but it seemed that her personality was not affected much. Perhaps Big Head had already digested them when he first came to this world last year.

They continued like this until the end of get out of class, and Harry and his friends rushed to the Room of Requirement without even having time to eat.

As soon as they entered, they saw the moon hanging from the ceiling, and the ghostly Golden Thief flying around the moon.

"By Merlin! If leaves covered in excrement have such a powerful effect, I think I can tolerate it too!" Ron said confidently.

"Hermione, please, teach me this trick! Or if it's not the moon, can it be the sun? Or even a star!" he pleaded eagerly.

Hermione, however, said she couldn't help. She herself didn't know how the Animagus had miraculously merged with lunar magic, and she doubted that even if she taught them the full moon magic, it wouldn't change their animal form.

This could even be interference from the Faded One or Ni.

However, given that Oborozuki's radiance has the effect of creating a magical realm, she can transform into the moon and hang in the Room of Requirement every night from now on, which should greatly accelerate the three boys' learning progress.
