Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephes returned to the black hole space and took out the shadow of the Book of the World.

The shadow was still struggling, but the power of shadow suppressed it so much that there was no possibility of escape.

He opened his mouth without any hesitation and swallowed the shadow in one gulp.

He had to make full use of the time and get the wool cleaned up before Luna came to her senses.

As the shadow engulfed him, an unprecedented power began to boil within Hephis.

Countless knowledge, wisdom and power flowed and merged in his blood like a flood.

They hit every cell of Hephis.

Hephaestus' body began to change, his outline gradually became blurred, as if he was about to merge with the surrounding darkness.

A nine-pointed star pattern appeared in his emerald eyes.

The pattern was exactly the same as what Luna saw, as if it could see into the essence of all things in the world.

Layers of shadows surrounded his body, and these shadows were no longer simple shadows.

They are entities that contain endless energy. They revolve around Hephaest like living things, forming dark halos.

Like a black hole in the universe, it can absorb all the light around it.

As the power of the shadow of the Book of the World is continuously released.

Hephaestus then understood that the Book of the World was a treasure nurtured by the earth and the embodiment of the origin of the world.

He felt himself becoming more connected to the world.

He seemed to have become a part of the world, able to feel the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as the cycle of life and death of all living beings in the world.

This power, this perception, made him feel extremely excited.

But it was only a brief moment, and Hephis felt like his brain was about to explode.

His brain activated its self-protection mechanism, but it was overwhelmed and crashed.

His eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

The shadow quickly enveloped him, forming a huge, deep black egg.

The power of the shadow of the Book of the World is still being absorbed into Hephaestus' body.

Transforming him, reshaping him, and giving him new life.

Gradually, Hephis felt an extreme and unique sense of comfort in his coma.

There is an unprecedented sense of tranquility and peace.

He curled up and fell into a deep sleep, like a baby in the womb.

A moment later, Luna tore open a space crack and broke into the black hole space.

She looked at the black egg that could absorb everything and remained speechless for a long time.

She was concentrating on repairing the cracks in the gap space.

Suddenly she felt a faint throbbing, like a heartbeat, coming from deep inside her body.

She hurriedly took out the Book of the World.

The book came into the world with Luna, and the bond between them is far deeper than blood.

If anything went wrong with the Book of the World, she would be greatly harmed, even her life in danger.

Luna carefully examined the Book of the World, but found no problems except for a slight fluctuation.

However, half an hour passed.

Only then did she remember the thing she had forgotten.

The shadow of the book is still in Hephaest's hand.

When she thought of Hephis's strange ability, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Luna didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly tore open the space crack and rushed to where Hephes was.

But it was too late.

Hephaestus has devoured the shadow of the Book of the World and is sleeping in a huge black egg.

Luna looked at the black egg, sighed helplessly, and muttered to herself.

"An unfettered soul has now achieved planetary power. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse."

Then she seemed to have thought of something and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Anyway, this planet has become his natal planet now. He will only mess with others. I am really looking forward to it."

Luna casually set up a powerful defensive barrier around the black egg.

Make sure Hephaestus is not disturbed in his sleep.

Although no one on this planet can harm Hephis except her, it is always better to be careful.

After arranging everything, she tore open the space crack again, and her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Only the huge black egg is left, lying quietly in the black hole space, waiting for the day of hatching.

As time goes by little by little.

Hermione's uneasiness grew.

She was the first to notice something was wrong.

Usually Hephis would retreat to study magic.

But every few days, Hephis would contact her to chat and talk about Shadow.

And whenever she sent a message, Hefeth always responded quickly.

But now seven full days have passed.

Not only did Hephis not take the initiative to contact her.

Even the message she sent fell on deaf ears, with no response.

Hermione came to the Blaine house but didn't find it.

She even asked An An to try to sense Hephis's location through the contract between them, but still found nothing.

Although Hermione was also panicked, she did not make it public.

She first instructed An An to try every hour to use the contract to determine Hephis's location.

Then she called in Snape.

At this moment, Snape was the only person she could fully trust, and the person Hephaestus trusted the most.

"Are you saying that Hephesus can't be found?" Snape's face was serious.

This guy is so strong, why can't we give him peace of mind?

Hermione nodded and told Snape everything she had tried.

Snape's face became increasingly gloomy, until it became as black as the bottom of a pot.

He pursed his lips tightly, and the symbol of the Flame of Protection lit up on his forehead.

When Hermione saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so concerned that she even forgot about the existence of the Guardian Flame.

As long as the Guardian Flame can still be summoned, it at least proves that Hephis is not in danger at the moment.

Hermione couldn't wait to summon her mark and try to contact Hephis through it.

Snape watched Hermione's actions but did not stop her.

He had tried to contact her just now, but there was no response.

But maybe there is a more special connection between Hermione and Hephis.

Hermione's eyes showed deep disappointment.

She shook her head weakly, her voice trembling, "Professor, still no response."

"Don't worry, Hermione." Snape was also anxious in his heart, but he still spoke to comfort her.

“Hephis often does unusual things.

For example, he had sealed himself in shadows several times.

Perhaps this time, he swallowed the shadow of a creature and fell into a hazy fantasy."

It has to be said that Snape's understanding of Hephesus is simply deep-rooted.

After all, he had wiped Hefeth's ass countless times.

He guessed 99 percent right just by guessing.
