Chapter 252 Phase!
Chapter 252 Baixiang!
"Professor Crouch jumped straight into the Fiend's body! So that's what the fire retardant was for!" Flitwick shouted. "Now he has no weakness!"
Residing within the Fiery Serpent's body, he could freely control the serpent to attack; the dangerous black magic and Fiery Serpent were enough to breach any defense.
Whether it's a spell or some other transformation, it will be devoured by the Fiery Flame and won't harm him in the slightest!
This move surprised everyone, but upon closer examination, it made perfect sense.
This Fiery Serpent is like a Muggle-powered suit of armor that Barty Jr. meticulously crafted for himself, granting him immense combat power.
"I'm afraid even the simple 'All Curses End' won't be able to suppress this fire serpent. The large number of curses within it will prioritize consuming the antidote." Moody's face darkened. The only solution he could think of was to use a sufficient number of people to forcibly dispel these fierce flames and the curses within them.
But on the battlefield, Little Barty alone could tie down many of them.
With itself at its core, curses as its bones, and raging fire as its flesh, a serpentine demon several meters tall coiled on the ground, radiating a terrifying black light.
Surrounded by Fiendfire and swirling, dark curses, none of this could harm him. Instead, it transformed into deadly poison at his will. Barty Jr. remained silent, manipulating the fire serpents to pounce on Hermione.
"Now, you'll at least have to use your signature magic to deal with this!"
If it were Hermione from before, she could only use powerful spells like Broom Star to counter, or use Miriam's Vanish to dodge.
But she still has some tricks up her sleeve!
Since you, Little Barty, can combine multiple spells and unleash them together, there's no reason why I can't!
Suddenly, a storm erupted around the girl's body, with intense lightning and thunderclouds enveloping her slender figure.
Unlike the [Samir Ice Storm] at the border, this thundercloud is a result of a change in the application of a weather spell.
Instead of changing the actual weather, she summoned a thundercloud to envelop herself.
"All curses have ended!"
At the top of the silver-white staff, the flower bud enveloping the energy of the fluorescent blue sapphire radiates a unique platinum light.
Unlike usual, where she plunges her wand into the ground to extinguish Fiendfire, Hermione raises her wand high, and platinum light gilds the thunderclouds around her.
"Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, extinguish this evil flame!"
Like a queen commanding heaven and earth, Hermione's soft shout caused a thunderous roar in the thunderclouds, and violent lightning and huge raindrops appeared out of nowhere.
They squeezed out of the dark clouds and rushed towards the fiery serpent.
Under the light that dispels all curses, every bolt of lightning and every drop of rain is filled with platinum light—the light that dissolves all curses.
"Following Professor Crouch's astonishing magical combination, Miss Granger also unleashed an equally brilliant fusion spell!"
"A weather charm paired with a cessation charm, a brilliant idea!" Flitwick jumped up and shouted.
The next moment, the fiery serpent rushed into the thunderstorm.
Almost visibly, every drop of rain and every bolt of lightning was efficiently destroying the fiery body that made up the snake's body, leaving it pitted and its head nearly deformed and melted.
Little Barty gritted his teeth and continued casting spells on the snake's belly to maintain the scale of the Fiendfire. However, while this kind of flame could devour things at an extremely fast rate, generating it out of thin air required a high level of skill.
The fire serpent's growth rate was far slower than its dissipation rate, and the dark and dangerous curses within its body had no effect whatsoever, all being completely shattered amidst the lightning and thunder.
Hermione even had energy left!
The thunderclouds around her continued to expand until they enveloped the entire interior of the dueling arena's barrier!
The roar grew louder and the lightning thicker, until finally, it became the fiery serpent controlled by Little Barty, facing the lightning and raindrops coming from all directions.
"To be honest, I don't recommend other students try this kind of spell fusion," Flitwick said, finally calming down a bit.
"Even for 7th graders, doing this would likely lead to tragic consequences. I would advise my classmates in the Curse Club to do it even more."
I will take this as my life's challenge and complete it.
The fusion of magic is not simply 1+1; there are many details to consider. Even though Barty is a genius, he only managed to fuse Fiendfire and dark magic curses of similar types together, relying on his expertise in potions to find a unique path and achieve this.
Hermione's merging of the End of All Curses with the Weather Charm is extremely astonishing in magical theory, because the End of All Curses would indiscriminately end all magic, including the Weather Charm itself!
"I think I see a young Dumbledore in her." Moody was no longer in the mood to be surprised. He spoke with a complicated tone. As the oldest and most senior member of the Order of the Phoenix, he had witnessed how Dumbledore rose to prominence in his youth.
"She learns very quickly, doesn't she?" McGonagall whispered to Sprout beside her, knowing that Hermione had been getting tutoring from Dumbledore recently.
"I think you won't be the principal for many more years, and we'll have to replace you," Sprout winked at McGonagall.
In the arena, Barty knew he couldn't delay any longer. Hermione's Weather Charm was still being prepared and developed; the characteristic of this spell was that it would grow larger and larger. At this moment, there wasn't much rain in the thunderclouds anymore, and it had become almost purely a thunderstorm. Previously, when one person cast it...
The small-scale curse, "All Curses End," spread outwards with the influence of the weather curse, leaving him nowhere to escape.
In a few moments, the Fiery Serpent will probably be torn to shreds.
He manipulated the fire serpent into a ball, trying to withstand the surrounding lightning, and then suddenly swung his wand. The ball of fire, carrying him and the deepest, most intense curse, crashed into Hermione, who was maintaining the spell.
"Looks like I'm out of tricks," Hermione thought to herself.
"Then let's finish with the trick I just thought of."
As the black fireball hurtled towards them like a bomb, Little Barty continued to unleash new curses and dark magic within it, replenishing its power.
Hermione took a deep breath and lowered her body.
Suddenly, her shoulder began to change; a hard, sharp, and enormous rhinoceros horn grew out of nowhere!
【The Many Facets of the Forge】
One of the prayers of the ancient golden tree can form hard horns on the shoulders, lower the posture, and then thrust upwards.
This is the initial life force of the Golden Tree, one of the hundred aspects of the furnace. In the past, life was mixed together and indistinguishable from one another.
As a prayer of faith, Hermione had previously believed that without faith in the Golden Tree and Two Fingers, she could not use it, and the Golden Tree could not grant her this power across the world.
However, with the recent additions and improvements to magical theories, her understanding of the various aspects of the Boundary Furnace has also changed.
As the original power of the boundary, the Forge of Life does not have a representative deity. Instead, it is more like a primitive form of nature worship. The prayers that the Horned People gleaned from its spiral horn shape are not in essence prayers to deities, but rather prayers to nature.
The Forge Knights' prayers about the Hundred Aspects and the divine beast warriors' séances can both be considered a form of natural magic! It's just that Queen Marika absorbed a portion of it into her Golden Dynasty.
Upon arriving in this world, after completing her human transformation, she was confident in her ability to precisely control and transform her body in specific areas, directly adopting the method of transformation from the Furnace of a Hundred Phases without any hindrance.
At this moment, the storm raged around him, and the invisible power of nature seemed to converge with the air currents and flow into the rhinoceros horn on his shoulder.
"drink!"
Hermione didn't even need to charge herself; the powerful hurricane carried her into the fiery ball.
Little Barty looked shocked; this was Li Huo!
Flames that will burn everything except for the end of all curses!
But as the two collided, the strangely changing horn showed no signs of melting. Instead, the fiery ball filled with curses was shattered by the indestructible and incredibly powerful horn, scattering into a rain of fire!
"How is this possible!" Little Barty quickly stopped, managing to halt before being pierced by the long horn.
"Frost Stomp!" Before he could react, Hermione pulled her shoulder back and stomped forward!
The thunderclouds around her turned into cold ice and snow. The weather spell, which could control the natural weather, was perfectly matched with the storm power of the horned god's divine intervention. As the witch stomped the ground, a layer of sharp ice crystals completely extinguished the scattered Fiendfires around her, while freezing Little Barty in place.
"The Final Chapter of the Crucible!"
With a turn of her head, in an instant, the hem of her school uniform robe transformed into a thick, powerful tail. Like a batter swatting away a stray ball, Barty was sent flying by her tail and crashed heavily into the barrier of the dueling arena.
"That feels good." She let out a soft sigh of relief.
I've disliked this guy for a long time; this is just to get some retribution for the Dobby attack last year.
Loud cheers erupted from the floating sofa of the Order of the Phoenix behind them. James and Sirius jumped up and high-fived each other, as happy as two children.
