From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Ariana is a warrior who believes in "great power creates miracles".

Her attacks are straight forward, and each one is pure violence. The ball of oily magic flies back and forth in the air, hoping to knock Ivy down.

Judging from the sound waves formed by the oily magic pushing the air, each one is not much different from the full-risk semi-hook as a teleporter to another world.

But for Ivy, this attack is still not enough.

Although the power is really good, it can't cause damage if it doesn't hit.

"It seems that the level of those shadow monsters in the spirit world is not very good-" His figure suddenly disappeared from the air and appeared behind Ariana. The nerve reflex speed brought by high agility allows Ivy to use Phantom Displacement to evade in battle.

The battle has been going on for five minutes, and Ariana's Obscure magic has not touched the corner of Ivy's clothes.

"Such a slow attack speed can hit..." Ivy hasn't finished the second half of his sentence, and another ball of magic emerged from behind Ariana, launching an attack like a battering ram.

Ivy smiled silently, and his figure disappeared again: "Not bad, I have learned to predict."

Ivy's previous movements were traceable, and he basically only appeared behind Ariana. He wanted to see what this resurrected girl could do, whether she was a battle-hardened warrior or a child swinging a sledgehammer.

Now it seems that she is more like a combination of the two. Although her attacks are not methodical, she is already growing rapidly.

The black obscurus magic split into two in the air, encircling Ivy from both sides, like a big hand together.

"It's starting to get a little interesting." This time, the magic Ivy used was no longer a simple apparition, but a grand debut after his own improvement. Strong light and loud noises broke out not far from Ariana, causing a huge impact on her senses that were slightly weaker than normal people.

"Ah--" The unexpected blow obviously made Ariana crazy. She screamed loudly, and the black magic that was originally like liquid changed again. If the Obscurus magic was sticky grease before, it is now a black storm, stirring the surrounding air restlessly.

Ivy manipulated several reefs to fly up from the ground and face the black storm in the air head-on.

The reefs weighing more than a thousand pounds encountered the black storm in the air, and they couldn't even last a breath. They turned into dust and floated in the depths of the sea.

Ivy watched the storm blow past the shore, turning the reefs that had been eroded by the sea wind and tide for tens of millions of years into soft tofu, and lightly cut off a large piece.

The black whirlwind suddenly blew up from the sea surface and swept towards Ivy in the air.

The wizard snapped his fingers calmly, and Ariana's Obscurus magic suddenly stopped in the air, and then dissipated.

Ariana herself also came back to her senses from the previous strong light and loud noise, and once again manipulated the Obscurus magic to launch a new round of attack.

After the loss of control just now, she seemed to have recalled some tricks of fighting, and the Obscure magic began to switch back and forth between the storm and grease forms.

The storm is fast and has a large killing range, but it is very susceptible to other factors. Even Ivy's silent and wandless "Spell Stop" can stop its attack. The grease form obviously has a higher resistance to magic, and spells such as fire and explosion are basically ineffective, but it is difficult to hit Ivy with targets that are too obvious.

"Is this all your power?" After playing hide-and-seek with Ariana for a while, Ivy began to continue to put pressure on her, "With only this level, you can't even kill a fly. How did you let your family fall apart?"

"Shut up!" Ariana shouted meaningful words for the first time, and the speed of the Obscure magic moving in the air suddenly increased to a higher level.

Through this period of fighting, Ivy has been able to see that Ariana's experience in the spirit world after her death has indeed brought her a real impact. Even if the Obscurus magic is on the verge of losing control, she can still influence it with her will to a certain extent, and as the battle progresses, this influence continues to grow.

But Ivy doesn't think this is a good thing. Her magic has never been liberated. Even if she can control the Obscurus magic with her will, this heterogeneous magic is still a tumor parasitic on her witch magic, and it will continue to grow stronger as she grows, and one day it will be completely out of control.

When Ariana was in the spirit world, the Obscurus magic could not harm her spirit body, so the two individuals could naturally fight side by side for hundreds of years in peace, but now Ariana has been resurrected, so this heterogeneous magic has begun to threaten her health.

"So you're still holding back." Ivy nodded in understanding. He wanted to let this Obscurus go completely out of control along with Ariana's anger. "It seems that you have a strong control over it. But why did I hear that you accidentally killed your mother? Judging from this control, was it intentional or accidental?"

"You don't understand anything at all!" Ariana burst into tears, and the Obscurus that was clinging to Ivy suddenly disappeared and reappeared around Ariana.

As her crying became louder and louder, the Obscurus surrounded her whole body and began to pulsate in a rather disturbing way.

Ivy activated the arcane vision and closely watched the completely different magical aura at the center of the Obscurus magic.

Watching it exhaust its own light bit by bit, the aura of the black oil magic that wrapped it was expanding fiercely.

In order to satisfy Ariana's wish to defeat Ivy, the Obscurus magic has begun to autonomously extract the already limited magic in Ariana's body.

As the saying goes, if you have blue, you get blue, and if you don't have blue, you get blood. When all the magic in the body is exhausted by the Obscurus, it is the moment when Ariana's life is threatened, but Ivy is waiting for this opportunity.

When the magic aura in Ariana's body was extinguished like a candle in the wind, Ivy used Apparition to suddenly appear not far from the black oil magic, and was immediately hit by the Obscurus magic when he was too close.

Then the surging black oil magic revealed Ariana in it, and Ivy took out his wand and said loudly: "Armor protection!"

A golden barrier appeared around Ariana, protecting her firmly in it.

Although the Obscurus is derived from Ariana's own materialized magic, it is now a separate entity, so the spell of armor protection can take effect. But if it changes its form and returns to Ariana's body, this spell will not work.

But Ivy will not give it such a chance. The surging ancient magic is like an open hand, firmly grasping the black magic blocked by the golden barrier.

As the only ancient magic user in the world, Ivy is at full strength. Ariana's Obscurus magic is like a tortoise jelly sucked by a large straw. In the blink of an eye, it was sealed by Ivy in the container in the palm of her hand.

Ariana, who has been completely drained, can no longer maintain a standing posture and falls down. Fortunately, Ivy is beside her, otherwise the unconscious Ariana will definitely fall on the towering reef below.

Ivy took out the golden cup he carried with him and fed the thin girl a sip of water. Her face immediately began to turn ruddy, and then she opened her eyes and regained consciousness.

"Where did it go? I can't feel it!" Ariana huddled up in fear, and a series of goose bumps appeared on her exposed arms.

"Here it is." Ivy took out the small bottle in her hand, and the Obscurus magic condensed into a small ball looked like a rolling black mud, "I locked it in."

"Give it to me!" Ariana reached out to grab it, but Ivy didn't mean to dodge, so she got it easily.

Ariana glanced at Ivy in disbelief, and began to fiddle with the bottle in her hand anxiously.

Ariana pulled from the outside, and the Obscurus magic pushed from the inside, but no matter how hard they tried, the small bottle didn't move at all.

"Why do you treat me like this? Is it for my own good?" Ariana, who knew that her efforts were in vain, collapsed and shouted, "I don't need your hypocritical comfort, nor do I need your hypocritical care!"

"I told you from the beginning, Ariana." Ivy said softly, "For research, I study all magical phenomena, and your Obscurus is just one of them. It is no different from other magic in my eyes."

"I already know its essence very well. Like all Obscurus, it was born from the will of young wizards to resist magic, but when they were born, they began to become uncontrollable. The most interesting thing about your Obscurus is your experience of resurrection. It and you are interdependent in the spirit world, and it has become a little different, but the essence is the essence. As an extension of your emotions, no matter how different it is, it will endanger your life."

"Don't you understand? Give it back to me! I don't need you to pretend to be good for me!" Ariana was like a madman, and seemed to have completely lost her mind, just like she had a withdrawal reaction to the Obscurus.

"I have many ways to deal with it." Ivy's tone was not affected by Ariana's emotions at all, and he still stated clearly and steadily, "Completely strip off the emotions and memory fragments you mixed in it, and restore it to the purest magic; or seal it forever in a crystal bottle, and then throw the bottle into the sea..."

"Please... please give it back to me, it will get better... it just takes a little time..." Ariana stopped trying to open the bottle, but begged Ivy by holding his trouser legs.

"We all know it won't get better." Ivy's tone was unwavering. Perhaps in the eyes of others, they would say he was unromantic, but Ivy was such a person.

"I will try to learn to control it... or let me die again! After I die, my control over it will increase... In the past, I could never control it and fight with you for such a long time..." Ariana has begun to speak without thinking.

"Do you know why you can control it?" Ivy gave the answer without waiting for Ariana's answer. "If your painful memories in the past are like water in a bowl, which may spill out at any time due to the shaking of the bowl, then now you have turned the container of painful memories into a bucket. Although the pain has not decreased, it will not spill out casually. The experience in the spirit world has made you stronger, but this strength is still not enough in front of the Obscure magic that will grow synchronously with you."

"You can manipulate it to fight me today only because this group of magic has fought side by side with you in the spirit world for a long time. Unlike the easily decaying spiritual world memories in human souls, the information recorded by this group of physical magic will not decay with the resurrection of the host. But as you grow, it will go berserk again sooner or later. If you really want to keep it, not only can you not stop your own growth, but you must also suppress its growth."

"You have a way? Right?" Ariana stood up from the ground, wiping her tears, "You definitely have a way!"

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"It may fail?" Ivy smiled, "Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"What will happen if it fails?" Ariana asked, holding the crystal bottle.

"It will disappear." Ivy looked at the girl who regarded the disease as an antidote.

"I have no other choice at all!" Ariana said bitterly, "You'd better succeed in one go! Otherwise I'll die in front of you!"

"What a childish behavior, just thinking of punishing others with your own death." Ivy completely ignored Ariana's threat. He came to study magic, not to be friends with this girl. "I thought you would say that you would work hard and defeat me completely in the future."

Ariana stopped talking and just stared at Ivy with hatred.

"What I'm going to do next is to completely activate this ball of your magic power." Ivy explained, "In other words, create an activation spell."

Activation is a very powerful magical effect, usually applied by the caster to ordinary items. After these items are activated, they will be given corresponding perception and the ability to act independently, just like a real living creature.

The activation effect is usually used by wizards to attach to tools, allowing them to do some simple repetitive work. I don't know which genius applied it to weapons, creating a living killing machine in the literal sense.

In extremely special cases, the activation effect can also act on magic itself, and the activated magic is the activation spell.

Activation spells are a very magical phenomenon, often appearing on battlefields where magic is used extensively.

Spells that are frequently used may become aware due to the clustering effect, and thus no longer disappear from the world like other magic after the effect is completed, but transform into a new life form.

For example, an activated fireball looks like a huge fire slime or mud monster, but it does not have any other external organs, and cannot fly like a normal fireball, but rolls forward.

The only purpose of the naturally born activation spell is to continue to exist, that is, to kill other lives in order to obtain the magic to continue to exist.

Because the form of existence has changed, these revived magic can exist independently away from the caster. If Ariana's Obscurus is activated, it will obviously change from a parasitic magic power to an independent individual, no longer affected by the host.

Although the activation spell itself has no concept of good or evil, as a strange thing that has accompanied Ariana in the spirit world for many years, it may remain friendly to Ariana after becoming an activation spell.

This is the part that Ivy mentioned before that might fail. If it cannot guarantee its friendliness to Ariana, Ivy will never give the Obscurus, which exists as an activation spell, to Ariana, so to some extent, it can be regarded as a kind of destruction.

Ariana still doesn't quite understand what the activation spell Ivy is talking about, and Ivy has already started to cast the spell.

Activation spells are not particularly difficult spells. In the wizard's spell list, there is a first-level spell that can create an activated rope, and a third-level spell can create an activated weapon.

But if you want to apply the activation effect to magic, you must go through a period of research. Fortunately, the activation effect also has a corresponding spell in the wizard world. The bludger and the golden snitch on the Quidditch field, and the various portraits hanging in the corridors of Hogwarts are the application of the activation spell. Ivy doesn't spend too much effort to study it.

The only troublesome thing is that we need to cross the barrier between abstraction and concreteness.

The gorgeous magic aura emerged in the air, forming circles of shining spells, bound to the crystal bottle in Ariana's hand.

The slurry magic in the bottle boiled, and bubbles of all sizes appeared wildly.

The boiling state lasted only a short while, and the Obscurus magic calmed down, and no longer responded to Ariana's call as before.

The magic aura dissipated, and Ariana asked nervously: "Did it succeed?"

Ivy shook his head: "I don't know, but you can open it."

Ariana grabbed the cork and twisted it gently, pouring out the increasingly viscous Obscurus magic.

Like a pool of endless mud, Ariana poured for more than a minute before there was nothing left in the crystal bottle.

The black mud bubbled a few more times and began to gradually bulge upward until it was as high as Ariana.

The black mud hesitated for a moment, and suddenly wrapped Ariana in it.

Ivy was about to cast a spell, but heard Ariana stop her loudly: "You succeeded! It has no ill intentions!"

The black mud that submerged Ariana kept changing its shape and left the girl's body, surging and becoming a clay sculpture of Ariana.

“She looks just like my twin sister…” Ariana reached out and poked the clay statue’s face, but found that her fingers had sunk directly into it. She smiled nonchalantly, “I’m going to call you Albella! You will be Albella from now on!”
