The Room of Requirement is truly a great thing.
Through a night of practice, Chen Yu increased his proficiency with Avada Kedavra to 54.
Avada Kedavra LV1 (54/100)
Through practice, he discovered that advanced spells cannot be continuously cast.
Continuously casting the same spell can easily lead to magic overload.
After casting the Killing Curse 5 times in a row at the dummy, Chen Yu felt a burning sensation in his body.
His mind started to wander, it was hard to concentrate, and the remaining magic in his body felt disobedient.
Attempting to cast the Killing Curse in this state actually failed.
Chen Yu called this state magic overload.
He quickly pulled out the Carnivore he had taken from the Hogwarts kitchen from his backpack and devoured it.
The 【Carnivore】 skill truly lived up to its name as a recovery skill; after eating for 5 minutes, he felt his magic was mostly replenished, his mind settled, and he successfully cast the Killing Curse again.
Attempting 5 consecutive casts again, his internal magic still entered a state of magic overload, and in this state, the success rate of casting the same spell would be greatly reduced.
It was like a big move entering a cooldown state.
It wasn't that he couldn't cast it, but the success rate was a bit low.
The best method was to cast the Killing Curse once, then wait 5-10 seconds before casting it again.
Instead of firing 5 shots like a semi-automatic pistol.
For simpler spells, they consume less magic, and the upper limit for magic overload becomes very high.
At least Chen Yu continuously cast at a matchstick more than 30 times before feeling his internal magic starting to boil.
It might also be because the target of the spell was a matchstick, not some other large object.
Although the 【Carnivore】 skill could restore magic and health, it couldn't restore mental energy, and long periods of chanting had left Chen Yu feeling dizzy and muddle-headed.
After consuming all the stock in his backpack, Chen Yu quietly snuck back to his dormitory, and as soon as he touched his bed, he entered sleep mode.
When Chen Yu woke up the next day, he still felt a bit groggy, reacting slowly even while putting on clothes.
It wasn't until he washed his face in the lavatory that he felt more awake.
Ron, brushing his teeth, stared intently at Chen Yu in the mirror and said, “Hey, Chen Yu, did you go out for a night stroll last night? Harry woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and saw your bed was empty.”
Chen Yu glanced at Harry, spat out his mouthwash, and said, “Indeed, I did go out for a little while last night.”
Ron spat out the foam from his mouth and continued.
“You were out for more than just a little while yesterday! Harry and I waited for so long that we were too sleepy to stay awake. I even suspected Filch had caught you and locked you in the dungeon! The other day, Harry and I got lost on our way back, and Filch insisted we were trying to break into the forbidden area on the fourth floor and wanted to lock us in the dungeon! If Professor Quirrell hadn't happened to come along and intervene, I dread to think what would have happened! How did you manage to avoid Filch and his damn ugly cat?”
Chen Yu thought for a moment and said, “I have a magical item that allows the wielder to be invisible. I used it to avoid Filch!”
Ron was not a greedy person; in the original story, even when faced with an invisibility cloak that had the same invisibility effect as the Serpent Spell, Ron didn't show any desire to claim it for himself.
Hearing Chen Yu's answer, Ron seemed to have found a new toy and excitedly said to Chen Yu, “Is it an invisibility cloak? George and Fred have always wanted an invisibility cloak. Filch is a Squib, and they think he'd never find them if they pranked him with an invisibility cloak!”
“I heard my father say that the best material for making an invisibility cloak is the hair of a Demiguise. It's an invisible creature, and using its hair to make an invisibility cloak can make the cloak truly unseen. However, Demiguises are very hard to find, so most Alchemists will cast a Disillusionment Charm or a Concealment Charm on cloaks. While these can also achieve an invisibility effect, they don't last very long.”
Chen Yu shook his head: “It’s not an invisibility cloak, it’s the Serpent Spell.”
He pretended to pull the Serpent Spell from his embrace to show Ron and Harry.
Ron glanced at the Serpent Spell and lost interest: “It has a green snake drawn on it. It looks really evil, doesn’t seem like a good thing at all, like a Slytherin item. Did your parents leave this for you?”
Harry also thought that the Serpent Spell was left to Chen Yu by his parents, after all, his own parents had left him a warehouse full of things at Gringotts.
“Something like that!” Chen Yu shrugged and continued, “You’re not wrong that it looks evil. The source of its power is indeed a very evil fellow. Legend has it that this is an item containing its power, extracted from the ‘Demon Lord’s’ body.”
“Demon Lord?”
“The ‘Demon Lord’ is the Fire Demon, one of the eight great demons of legend. He is both a demon and a wizard. He is evil, cruel, cunning, treacherous, insidious, and greedy. He likes to go back on his word and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. In ancient times, almost all of Asia was under his tyrannical rule. Later, he was sealed by ‘Lu Dongbin,’ one of the Eight Immortal Gods. His soul was cast into the underworld, his body transformed into a stone statue in the human world, and his power was separated into the Twelve Talismans. The Serpent Spell is one of them.”
Harry listened to Chen Yu's story, utterly curious, and couldn't help but ask, “The Serpent Spell can make people invisible, so what magical effects do the other eleven Talismans have?”
“The Rat Talisman can imbue inanimate objects with motion, turning them into living beings, or turn living beings into inanimate objects.”
“The Ox Talisman can make the wielder incredibly strong, greatly increase their stamina, and significantly enhance their defense; at the same time, striking power, impact force, critical hit power, physical attack destructive power, and other internal forces will be greatly boosted.”
“The Tiger Talisman has the power to balance conflicting forces, allowing the wielder to balance yin and yang or separate them.”
“The Rabbit Talisman represents speed, enabling the wielder to move at supersonic or even superluminal speeds, and even achieve instantaneous movement and teleportation.”
“The Dragon Talisman contains the power of explosion, allowing the Talisman itself to shoot out highly destructive, explosive flames, causing scorching explosions.”
“The Horse Talisman has healing abilities, capable of curing all illnesses and injuries on the user's body, and can remove all abnormal influences caused by external forces within the wielder.”
“The Sheep Talisman possesses the power of soul projection, allowing the wielder’s soul to leave the body. The soul can attach to a sleeping person's body to enter their dreams and send messages, and can also possess an empty human body to control it.”
“The Monkey Talisman has the monkey magic of transformation ability, allowing the wielder to transform any object into any animal at will, and freely control the transformation of their own and others' bodies.”
“The Rooster Talisman enables the wielder to levitate in the air with telekinesis and control objects to float and move.”
“The Dog Talisman possesses the magic of immortality, allowing the wielder to remain eternally young, ageless, immortal, indestructible, with an unharmed body and soul.”
“The Pig Talisman enables the wielder to emit destructive laser hot rays from their eyes, with an unlimited range for remote emission of fiery laser beams, and its power can be amplified when used with the Dragon Talisman.”
“Wow… cool! If I collected all twelve Talismans, wouldn’t I be invincible? If I had the Twelve Talismans, becoming student body president would be within reach!”
Ron’s face was exaggerated, and he straightforwardly stated his thoughts.
Chen Yu wiped Ron’s face with a towel and said, “Snap out of it, stop daydreaming. Who knows where the remaining eleven Talismans are scattered? We can’t even leave Hogwarts right now, and you’re dreaming of searching the whole world for spells? Do you think you have a Dragon Ball radar? Like you can just find them whenever you want?”
It depends on whether the system is cooperative and can draw out the remaining Twelve Talismans.
My demands aren't high, just one more Dog Talisman will do.
Who doesn't like immortality these days?
“What’s a Dragon Ball? Do dragons have balls inside them? Charlie never told me dragons had balls inside them! And what’s a radar?”
“Are you ‘One Hundred Thousand Whys’? Let’s get ready and go. Brace yourself, the first class is Professor Quirrell’s Defense Against the Dark Arts Class…”
“Oh… no! I hate the smell of garlic!”
“Me too!”
