The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Dumbledore nodded with a smile.

The reason why he brought Link with him this time was not only because of Link's request, but also because he wanted to test Link's exact abilities and teach Link something.

So far, Link's performance has made Dumbledore very satisfied.

"Then let's go." Dumbledore said, "To be honest with you, there is indeed a Horcrux nearby, and I have already sensed its exact location."

Link curled his lips and said nothing.

In fact, he had already guessed all this.

What surprised Link was that Dumbledore did not immediately take Link to find the Horcruxes. Instead, before leaving, he placed a lot of structures on the entire Riddle Mansion similar to what he had done before. Li Huo's magic trap.

These magic traps are so densely packed in every corner of the old house that the magic level in the old house has increased a bit.

Dumbledore's explanation for this was to use this method to protect the crime scene to prevent others from coming in and destroying it.

But no matter how Link looked at it, he felt that Dumbledore was taking revenge on Voldemort for setting a trap for him.

Dumbledore continued working like this until the moon was high in the sky before leading Link out of the old house, walking through the back gate of the fence toward the back of the hillside, and finally stopped in front of an open wasteland.

"This is... a cemetery?"

Looking at the broken tombstones twisted among the withered grass and gravel on the wasteland in front of him, Link said with some uncertainty.

"Yes, this is a cemetery. The cemetery of the Gaunt family."

Dumbledore said expressionlessly, and as he spoke, he dug out the remains of an almost rotten iron fence gate from the soil at his feet.

Most of the details on it have been erased by time, but the S-shaped emblem on the top, made of an iron snake, still maintains its general shape.

"It's the hallmark of Slytherin."

Link said with a sneer, "A group of guys named Gaunt are using the Slytherin symbol as their family crest. It's really funny."

Dumbledore seemed to be amused by Link and smiled:

"It's quite funny, but who said that the name of the descendants of Slytherin can bring them enough respect and benefits?

And this can be regarded as the tradition of the Gunter family.

If you don’t believe it, just look at Tom and you will know.Wasn't he also unwilling to admit his surname of Riddle and changed his name to Voldemort?I dare say he would be very angry if you called him Tom Riddle in front of him now. "

After saying this, Dumbledore seemed to think of the real scene and smiled even happier.

Link also smiled happily.

It wasn't that Dumbledore's joke was funny, but that he thought it was funny that Dumbledore was joking with him.

Unfortunately, Link's good mood did not last long.

Because Dumbledore quickly took out his wand and fired a red beam that looked like a disarming spell onto the wasteland ahead.

Snapped!

Dumbledore obviously didn't use much force. After his disarming spell hit the ground, it only made a small pit and then completely dissipated.

But his behavior seemed to flip a switch.

A series of rustling sounds continued to sound from all around the wasteland, as if something was emerging from the ground.

"Link, this is the last hurdle for Tom to stay to defend his Horcrux." Dumbledore patted Link on the shoulder and said, "I hope you can solve this problem alone, come on!"

"Wait! Dumbledore, you are saying..."

Link was startled when he heard this, and turned around to question.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Dumbledore completely disappeared.

At the same time, the originator of those strange rustling sounds finally appeared in front of Link.

It was one corpse after another.

Their clothes were in tatters, and their styles ranged from ancient times to modern times. Link even saw a guy wearing a tuxedo, a high-cornered hat, and gold teeth in his mouth.

Time has left a lot of corpse spots and traces of decay on their extremely pale bodies, but now they crawled out of their resting place and stumbled towards Link.

This kind of scene where dozens or hundreds of corpses are pouring in at the same time, just like the outbreak of a biological crisis, can definitely make ordinary people weak in the knees.

But after seeing their faces clearly, Link breathed a sigh of relief.

For no other reason than Link recognized the true identities of these corpses - living corpses.

The living corpse is a creation of dark magic.

Its production principle is to use magic and various alchemical materials to repair the corpse, and refine the corpse into a puppet that only obeys the maker.

Link had seen records about living corpses in the original work and the book "Advanced Black Magic Revealed".

It is a pity that the detailed production process has been erased by Mrs. Foley, and only a general introduction is given.

The method of making living corpses is quite ancient and can be traced back to the Middle Ages.

At that time, wizards often slaughtered Muggles in large numbers and made living corpses for use in wars between wizards.

However, their combat capabilities are actually not very strong.

Because their movements are generally slow, their attack methods are monotonous, and their attack intensity is not high. They are somewhat similar to those seen in movies, but they are not contagious.

After thoroughly recognizing the enemy he needed to face, Link immediately raised his wand, controlled a large amount of curse power to form a sharp blade and shot out from the tip of the wand, attacking the surrounding corpses.

Living corpses are still corpses in essence, and their physical strength is not much higher, so Link thinks that his magic spell should be able to easily deal with these living corpses.

The situation was indeed similar to what he thought at the beginning.

Those controlled invisible blades simply invaded the group of corpses like chopping melons and vegetables. Broken limbs and broken arms continued to fly wherever they went. All the living corpses in front of them were as fragile as butter like hot knives.

But what happened next was somewhat beyond Link's expectation.

The chopped-up living corpses were not as incapacitated as Link imagined.

They seemed to be able to sense the lack of their own limbs, and quickly found the body parts around them again. Regardless of whether they were their own or whether the parts were accurate, they directly pressed them on themselves and continued to attack Link.

This directly created a group of weird zombies with arms attached to feet, feet attached to stomachs or other parts.

As for those who couldn't find their limbs, they gave up and just lay on the ground using their remaining limbs and even their teeth to struggle towards Link.

Most importantly, Link's attacks seemed to anger them.

The moving speed of the corpse group not only did not slow down compared to before, but actually became faster.

Link's brows furrowed.

Reminiscent of the introduction about zombies in his previous life, he also tried to crush the head of a living zombie.

However, the results did not change at all.

Even if those living corpses lost their heads, they would still come towards Link resolutely under the guidance of some strange magic power.

Looking at the group of living corpses with messy bodies in front of him, many arms and legs missing, Link finally felt a bit of pressure.

He no longer hesitated, and the powerful magic roared out, turning into monstrous flames, invisible blades and red light and attacking the corpses.

Since the loss of limbs cannot eliminate them, then just destroy every inch of their flesh!

This is not too difficult for the current Link!

Flames and invisible blades enveloped the entire cemetery in a very short period of time.

Under the influence of this powerful force, many living corpses were directly turned into ashes.

But more living corpses gathered together.

They hugged each other tightly in a tragic manner that was almost like ants forming a ball to fight a fire.

Seeing this, Link showed no mercy. He controlled these magical flames and rushed towards the ball.

The result of this was that the corpse ball began to slowly become smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an ice cream ball illuminated by the scorching sun.

However, there seemed to be something hard inside the ice cream ball made of living corpses.

No matter how Link attacked, when the corpse ball was melted to only one-tenth of its size, it completely stopped changing.

Then, Link was shocked to find that the remaining corpse ball at the center of the flame moved.

It slowly unfolded and quickly rushed out of the fire in an extremely weird posture with five feet on the ground!

"Hiss!~"

Link gasped after seeing its true form.

Link really didn't know how to describe this monster, because it was simply weird and huge, but its body full of traces of human bodies was simply terrifying to the limit of human endurance. Even a guy like Link could be said to be used to killing scenes. I couldn't help but be a little shocked.

"Is this... still a living corpse?"

Link murmured to himself, and at the same time, he kept throwing various magic spells in his hands.

However, these powerful spells that could easily kill living corpses in the past lost their former prestige when faced with this aggregated monster, and could only slow down the monster's charge.

"Yes, and no." Dumbledore's voice suddenly sounded in Link's ears, "Whether it's the Shadowless Curse or the Blazing Curse, the method you use to deal with living corpses is actually correct. But the problem is, These living corpses are Tom's creations.

Tom has obviously improved the method of making living corpses and the strength of materials.The magical flames and attacks you release cannot completely destroy them all.Instead, an artificial furnace and blacksmith's hammer were built for them, like forging iron, to refine them from a group of living zombies into a more powerful monster that is immune to your attacks.

It’s still the same old problem, Link!Your control of the power of the curse is indeed very sophisticated, but the attack strength used is really too low.

The essential reason for this situation is not that your magic power is not strong enough, but that you have chosen the wrong research direction.

The reason why the power of curse is feared and feared by people lies in its strange and irreversible characteristics.

And look what you've done?

Using the power of the curse, it becomes a blade to cut people, a thorn ball to stab people, a hammer to hit people, and...

Until now, you have only used the power of the curse to make physical attacks, and the use of the characteristics of the curse has only remained on the surface.

I hope that in the future you can focus your research on the characteristics of the Curse Power itself, rather than on the changes in the form of the Curse Power.

This is the first lesson I teach you, and I hope you can remember it.

Of course, this cannot be achieved overnight.So leave the rest to me. "

As he spoke, Dumbledore's figure slowly appeared beside Link, and he pulled out his wand with a smile.

But Link was lost in thought.

Due to the successful development and improvement of 'evaporation', 'thunder spell' and even a series of prank spells, he has always put the nature and form changes of spells at the top of his research.

To this end, he even re-read a large number of Muggle books on chemistry and physics, hoping to get more inspiration from them.

However, with little success.

In fact, Link's strength has reached a bottleneck a long time ago.

His current strength growth is almost entirely dependent on physical growth and the growth of magic and mental power brought about by meditation, and has nothing to do with the development of his magic spell.

But what Dumbledore said just now opened the door to a new world for him.

'The magic spell brought about by the change in nature may indeed be more gorgeous and weird, but perhaps the most powerful development direction of the magic spell lies in - purification! '

Thinking this, Link's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At the same time, Dumbledore had already raised his wand, ready to help Link get rid of the aggregation of living corpses in front of him.

But before he could actually take action, Link's voice made his movements suddenly freeze.

"Wait, Principal Dumbledore, maybe I can..."

Link's words paused for a moment, followed by a short chant, "Burn it all!"

The majestic power of the curse emerged from the tip of his staff again.

But this time, it turned into an invisible blade like before, and instead enveloped the living corpse monster as gently as the morning mist.

Then, as Link's wand was swung down, all the power of the curse began to tremble violently, and eventually turned into endless dark red flames!

"Li Huo?"

Dumbledore said as he looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes towards Link became inexplicably complicated.

But at this time, Link had no time to pay attention to Dumbledore's expression. He was focusing all his attention on controlling these devil flames transformed from the power of the curse!

Under Link's control, Li Huo showed far more terrifying power than before in the old house.

The black fire all over the sky converged and condensed together without any pause, forming a fire snake that looked like Arkham, biting fiercely towards the living corpse aggregate, its speed was so fast that even after the polymerization, the speed had greatly increased. The aggregation of living corpses could not escape and was bitten directly.

"Hey wow!!"

The screams kept coming from the flames.

From Link's perspective, all he could see was a flaming python that was constantly writhing and struggling.

Then, the screams gradually stopped, and the flame python also gradually became quiet.

But at the same time, Link's expression became more serious.

Casting Fierce Fire is actually not too difficult.

The real core difficulty of the Lihuo spell is how to extinguish it.
