From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Chapter 84 The Tortured Soul

As far as Ivy knows, the only spell among wizards that targets the soul is "Avada Eats the Big Melon", which is a typical instant death spell that cuts off the connection between the victim's soul and body and takes away their vitality.

Therefore, killing wizards with the Killing Curse is what Ivy is good at, but when it comes to playing with souls, it is not the field of black magic. The so-called creation of corpses is nothing more than making the dead body run again through black magic. There is nothing in it that can still be called a soul.

Perhaps this is related to the curtain door hidden in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. The soul of the dead will leave this world and continue along a path unknown to the living.

But in the magic worldview of DND, the soul can certainly be manipulated by magic. Playing with death and souls is the proud means of the necromancer. Even in some outer planes, such as Baator and the Abyss, the soul is regarded as a currency, a resource for casting spells, and a key to activate evil mechanical creations.

As a Scribes wizard and a Brilliant Warlock, Ivy has done very little research on necromancy. The only necromancy spell he knows is the 1st-level Imitation Life, which can be exchanged from the Destruction Grimoire with 500 experience points.

The effect of this spell is that the caster uses necromancy to create false vitality to support his body. During the duration of the spell, he can exceed the upper limit of life and gain a part of temporary life value.

The effect of the spell is very simple, but Ivy believes that it has unlimited potential. He believes that the starting point of all necromancy is this humble spell.

Let the dead body stand up again; use ashes and grave soil to shape evil magical creatures; drive the surging negative energy torrent to take away the vitality of the enemy and transform them into zombies. How do powerful necromancers call life from death and turn decay into magic?

Of course, it is to create false life through necromancy and solidify this negative vitality in the undead creatures, so that they can gain the power to move freely.

Therefore, in Ivy's eyes, the first-level spell of imitating life is the well-deserved starting point of necromancy.

If you recall the plot in the original book, you will understand that the diary as a Horcrux can even absorb the magic and vitality of the little wizard to create a temporary body for itself. So can the false vitality created by imitating life be used by the Horcrux?

Ivy couldn't wait to conduct his own experiment.

As the magic of necromancy covered himself, Ivy transferred part of the false vitality to Tom in the Horcrux.

The effect of the magic was immediately apparent, and the blank pages that were originally damaged by Ivy's mind magic arrows began to stretch again, and the gray color gradually faded. In just one breath, the pages returned to the appearance when Tom just bought them from the small shop in London.

"How do you feel, Tom?" Ivy wrote.

"What on earth is this...what on earth did you do? Is it a sacrifice? What's the vitality you gave me? It's too weak. If you want me to feel better, it's best to use a magical creature. Of course, wizards are always the best choice." Tom's arrogance and conceit are as always, and he is always thinking about stealing the vitality of wizards.

Ivy smiled slightly and cancelled the concentration effect of the spell. In an instant, the pages of the diary that had returned to normal became tattered and wrinkled again.

The ink on the diary trembled again and condensed into new letters: "How is this possible? Who are you? Don't you know who I am? Those vitality are mine!"

The unexpected change made Tom Riddle in the diary become afraid again. He tried to intimidate Ivy with the only means: "I belong to the Dark Lord who resists death! As long as you return this diary to him, you will get an unimaginable reward! The reward of eternal life!"

Ivy could easily tell Tom's cowardice from the trembling ink.

"Come on, Tom." Ivy continued to write, "We all know who you are and what you have done. You are not seeking immortality, but just resisting death."

The ink on the diary became frantic and angry: "You don't understand anything! As long as you can prevent death from coming, you will gain immortality!"

Tom's answer did not exceed Ivy's expectations. This was consistent with his current situation of making Horcruxes to survive. Look at the face behind Quirrell's head. There is no breath of life. It only appeared after meeting Ivy last semester.

In addition, the dark magic that Quirrell used to test Harry was blocked by the anti-dark magic spell attached to the Nimbus 2000 by Ivy, and Voldemort hiding behind his head dared not show up even more.

If he did not use the blood of the unicorn to obtain the cursed life later, perhaps he would not have the courage to face Harry Potter.

In the original book, Voldemort hid behind Quirrell's head for the entire school year. After Quirrell's repeated attempts, he realized that Harry was not the natural dark devil he imagined, but just a young wizard who had just entered the magical world.

Once he discovered this, he immediately drove Quirrell to slaughter a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest and restored a certain amount of power through the curse in its blood. He even broke into the room where the Philosopher's Stone was when Dumbledore left the school, and even had a one-on-one fight with Harry at the last moment.

As a result, everyone knows that Voldemort was smeared in the face by Harry's ruthless iron hand and the magic of love, and fled away, leaving Quirrell half-dead.

That’s why Ivy said that his arrogance and short-sightedness were almost ingrained in his bones, and even the soul in the Horcrux was no exception.

Ivy wrote in his diary: “Perhaps you don’t know yet, Voldemort was defeated by a newborn child, and the once powerful Death Eaters scattered overnight. Although Voldemort himself is not dead for the time being because of the existence of the Horcrux, he can only exist as a shadow temporarily attached to other small creatures. Do you think this can be called living?”

Tom’s diary was silent for a long time, as if he was digesting the information in these few short sentences.

After a while, the ink reappeared in the diary, looking half-dead and weak: “I refused death, which is a great achievement. This is eternal life.”

This sentence quickly disappeared, and a new line of ink appeared: “What price do I have to pay to let you revive me?”

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

"Don't you understand yet, Tom?" Ivy wrote with a playful mood, "You don't have any cards in your hand, you will become my research object, that's all."

"You are a great master of dark magic, I am far less accomplished than you in this area, but I know many secrets hidden in Hogwarts, Slytherin among the four giants, you must be curious about his secrets?" The ink on the diary looked eager and sincere, and even used honorifics.

"Tom, Tom, why are you arrogant at first and respectful later?" Ivy continued to write, "No matter how many secrets you know, I will know them in your soul. I hope you remember this and wait for that day with fear. Believe me, it won't be too far away."

Ivy closed the diary, added a mind-damaging witchcraft arrow, and ended the conversation with Tom's painful wailing.

Ivy actually had a plan for how to deal with Tom Riddle in the diary.

There are many spells worth trying in the DND necromancy spells. The two closest to Ivy are the 5th-level Energy Drain and the 6th-level Soul Cage. The former requires Ivy to upgrade the Scribe to level 9, and the latter requires reaching level 11.

As long as Ivy stops making strange items and concentrates on killing monsters in the Forbidden Forest, I believe it won't take long for him to successfully reach these two levels.
