HP: Embrace the Darkness

The sunlight seeping in from the black lake breaks up the darkness.

Asses stood at the door of the cellar, looking at each other in confusion with Miss Medusa, who was awakened by him again.

"Why do I feel like you can't stop the director from knocking on my door?"

Miss Medusa spit out the bright red letter, and her suspicious eyes fell on Asseth again.

Pampering her master, Miss Medusa's look was exactly the same as that of the Potion Master, and it made Asses lose his temper at all.

"Did Sif knock on the door this time?" He tried to reason with Miss Medusa.

Miss Medusa thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Then did I stop it?"

Miss Medusa thought for a moment with her fist-sized brain, and then nodded.

"It was indeed stopped, but you were also kicked out hahahahahaha."

As soon as it finished speaking, before its laughter stopped, and before Ass's explanation could be uttered, the closed door was opened by the person inside.

This time the smile shifted to Asseth's face.

"Sev, what's wrong?"

Facing Ass's expectant eyes, the potion master slowly uttered a word.

"good afternoon."

The expectation in the dark eyes gradually disappeared, and was filled with surprise again.

"Good afternoon, sweet dreams."

The midday sun was very warm, and both of them liked it very much.

-

A few days later, in a vast expanse of pure white, a bed that was also pure white was placed.

The bed is not big, and the white color gives off a cold feeling.

Several white tigers with bodies burning in various colors were playing wildly beside the bed, and from time to time they would open their bellies and act coquettishly to the handsome man sitting on the bed.

The man sitting on the edge of the bed was Asseth.

He ignored the coquettish white tigers, lowered his eyebrows and looked at his hands thoughtfully.

There was a faint glow on the hands.

This white light, which is so weak that it is almost invisible, is the result of Aces' research during this period.

And here, he used a principle similar to that of the alchemy box to create an alchemy space that can isolate all magic power.

All magic power, naturally includes the magic power on Asseth.

In order to be able to do this, he also specially wrote a letter asking Anna to use Anna as a hub to communicate with Nico Flamel on some minor alchemical issues.

Speaking of Nico Flamel, Asses has a headache.

The construction of this space was completed, and Anna sent a message telling him that Nico Flamel wanted to see him.

With the Magic Stone destroyed, Nico Flamel's time is running out and he must get there as soon as possible.

After calculating the time in his mind, Asseth planned to go there next weekend.

He thought that Nico Flamel had lived for so many years, and this visit might be able to get the answer he wanted.

An answer to the energy in him.

The word energy is just the current name used by Asseth for this pure white shimmer that is different from magic power, but he would rather call it "authority".

Why is it called authority?

Because Asseth discovered that this energy has an absurdly large effect on magic power, it can do everything from strengthening a spell to changing the nature of the spell out of thin air.

Many things are contrary to some knowledge in the magical world.

Therefore, compared to pure energy, Asseth feels that it is more like the authority to grasp the essence of magic and the key to unlocking the next level of magic.

Depending on the amount of magic power, the quality of the magic power will naturally be strong or weak.

But what is very strange is that Asseth searched his family's library and found no records about this aspect. It seemed that no one was researching in this direction.

With no other choice, Asseth could only find a few wizards affiliated with him at home and start an experiment with the Iron Armor Curse and the Disarming Curse.

Everyone released these two magic spells with all their strength for Asseth to feel.

The result was no different from what Asseth thought at the beginning. There was actually no qualitative difference in the power of their spells, only the amount of magic power.

In order to prevent errors, Asses tried it several times in succession and found several other groups of people to conduct experiments. The final results were very similar.

The difference between them is only in the amount of magic power, not in the essence of magic power.

Later, Asseth himself joined the experiment, but the results were different from theirs.

His own power is not only because he has more magic power than other wizards, but their magic power is essentially different.

For the same spell, even if Asseth didn't release it with all his strength, the effect was still far superior to that of other wizards.

I was afraid that this experiment might be wrong because the wizard at home was not strong enough.

Aces also took the time to go to Nurmengard several times and study Grindelwald's magic power up and down.

As a result, the magic power of this wizard who is as famous as Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century, is qualitatively the same as that of ordinary wizards.

After researching this point, Artes inadvertently remembered what the old man said when he was a child.

realm

Then another problem came up.

The level division of wizards in the magic world is actually only two realms divided by examinations. This is obviously not the same thing as the realm mentioned by the old man with white beard.

Aces simply put aside the idea of ​​​​the magical world.

A bold guess is that the realm the old man refers to is the qualitative change in magic power that occurs when the magic power reaches a certain level.

A state reached thereby.

As for why he reached this state early, it must have been an accident when he was a child, and the quality of his magic power reached the required level in an instant.

Really reaching this realm, Asses guessed after returning from that strange space.

From that moment on, his magic power was essentially far superior to that of an ordinary wizard.

This can also explain why the Duke's use of the curse "Spring in Dead Trees" is different from his use.

Because this energy in him, which he called "authority", changed the quality of his magic power.

Or maybe it just gave him an opportunity, subtly or...

Aces mused.

Speaking of which, he could thank the unicorn and the little basilisk for discovering this energy.

The perception of magical creatures far exceeds that of wizards. According to them, there is something special about Asseth that makes them feel special.

Analyzing himself at that time, Asses felt that he was nothing special. If he really wanted to say he was special...

As he grew up, the only time that was special was when he learned the Patronus Charm, went to that white space, and the old man with the white beard.

It seems that starting from that time, the magic spells he used were different from others, and the patron saint was also special.

So during this period, he looked through his memories whenever he had time. After going back and forth several times, he went to ask Estela's family.

Finally, it was confirmed that the first time he met them, they discovered him by following the bond between the patron saint and him.

In order to test his idea, Asseth took Carter to the Forbidden Forest and asked him to release the patron saint.

Carter's patron saint...is a husky. When they learned the news, Elise and Asseth agreed that it fit Carter's temperament.
