Cyrus couldn't help feeling annoyed as he watched the potion in the crucible gradually decay from bright red to black.
He couldn't remember how many times he had failed in his attempts to refine the Philosopher's Stone, not counting the number of failures he had simulated in his memory.
I have strictly followed Nico's notes and the twenty-two processes summarized from other people's experiences, but the result is still a failure.
"What secrets are there in the Jewish Book of Abraham? What variables existed when Nicolas Flamel was refining the Philosopher's Stone that even he didn't know about? What is the so-called essence?"
He just felt that a lot of mysteries popped up in his mind one after another. His mind seemed to be about to explode! Cyrus knew that even if he continued to think about it, he would probably not get the answer, and it would just be a waste of time. He immediately waved his hand, and everything in the Room of Requirement disappeared.
Since there is no progress in alchemy for the time being, I might as well practice some magic spells first.
He took out the banned books such as "The Book of the Red Dragon", "The Book of Solomon", "The Book of Roseaire", "The Complete Book of Dark Spells"...
The so-called forbidden book, on the one hand, is because it contains powerful and terrifying magic, but it also represents the obscurity and difficulty in understanding. Fortunately, at least Cyrus's talent in this aspect is much stronger than that in alchemy.
The "Book of the Red Dragon" records a method of resurrecting the dead, but after analysis, Cyrus discovered that this was actually just a means of creating corpses, and the "resurrected" dead could not be considered a true resurrection at all.
How to make Inferi, this is something Voldemort has long remembered. Although the method recorded in the Red Dragon Book is different, perhaps the efficiency of making Inferi is faster. But Cyrus really doesn't like the Necromancer's tricks.
Moreover, the Yin corpses do not actually have very strong combat capabilities. They are okay as cannon fodder, but they are completely defenseless when encountering a fire.
But most of the powerful wizards in this world have powerful fire magic. For example, Dumbledore's Ancient Fairy Fire and Vulcan's Way, Grindelwald's Blue Fire Gas Stove, and even Voldemort, who was in the earlier version, was also a good user of Fiendfyre.
Cyrus actually wanted to create his own flame. Coincidentally, the "Book of Red Dragon" recorded the red dragon's devil flame and the white dragon's ice flame.
He planned to combine several kinds of magic with the Fiendfyre, and he was also very excited by the mention of a kind of hellfire in the Book of Solomon.
"You can add protective spells, defense spells, apparition spells, and enemy-defending spells to the flames..."
Grindelwald's fire shield incorporates many spells. In fact, the power of this magic is not as terrible as the fierce fire, but it is more applicable. The power to destroy Paris is just incidental. It is more important to identify his true believers.
However, Cyrus said that he wanted both the power and the effect! And he wanted it to be even better! Inventing new magic was an interesting thing for Cyrus. Although failure was inevitable, this kind of failure was not a real failure. At most, the magic he invented did not meet his expectations.
“It’s not a failure, it’s just on the way to success.”
It's like he tried to replicate Grindelwald's fire shield, but found that the most difficult part was not adding those defensive spells to the flames, but how to make them distinguish between friend and foe and only attack those who were not loyal enough to them.
This complex magic is like a program, which starts with "if" and then forms a fork. After the "instructions" given to the flames are identified through the "if" condition, they will present different characteristics: for enemies, burn everything; for believers, protect them; for attacks, defend them completely.
Now, Cyrus understood why the fire shield was not as powerful as the fierce fire.
The magic of this world is closely related to the emotions of the wizard.
Fiendish fire is the craziest of all fire magics. It has no other use except burning and destroying, constantly spreading and engulfing everything. This absolute destructive power and determination to destroy everything make Fiendish fire so powerful!
The Fire Shield is not such magic, it is controlled, the protective power contained in the magic has to make the caster's heart peaceful rather than crazy. Two different emotions must be balanced.
In this way, the power of the fire shield cannot compare to that of the fierce fire.
But if Cyrus were to choose, he would still prefer the fire shield. Not only because it looked cool, but also because although the power of these two magics was somewhat different, if they were only used to destroy something, they were enough.
Inside the Room of Requirement, Cyrus held Flint's wand in his hand and slowly circled around it like an elegant musician. Hot blue flames ignited around him, like an anticyclone radiating out, gradually spreading until the entire interior space of the Room of Requirement was filled!
But when he walked in the flames, he did not feel the heat or danger at all. Instead, he felt as happy as if he was strolling in a lush green field.
"Fire shield protection!"
The flickering flames looked like clusters of blue bellflowers swaying in the wind.
Even though he had replicated Grindelwald's signature skills, Cyrus was not actually very satisfied. He once again added many transformation spells to the flames, and one blue demon after another immediately revived from the bluebell hell.
Then, he added the two kinds of dragon fire from the Book of the Red Dragon and the hellfire and flame jade from the Book of Solomon into the flames.
The color of the flame changed immediately.
The originally beautiful blue flame now seemed to be stained with blood and became the color of death.
The bluebells seemed to be dying.
Bloody mandrakes blossomed on its corpse, forming a path of fire.
A new type of fire magic was born in his hands.
Numerous black spells and magic fires have enhanced the power of flames, making up for the lack of power in the fire shield.
Of course, this "inadequacy" can only be said to be relative. After all, it is a powerful spell that is enough to destroy Paris. How could it be really "inadequate"? "What if the spell that creates the Inferi is also incorporated into it?" Cyrus suddenly thought.
Although he looked down on the Inferi, if the enemy saw his companions who were engulfed by flames stand up again from the flames, how would this situation undermine the other party's faith? Cyrus immediately opened the "Book of the Red Dragon" and incorporated the spell for making the Inferi into it.
In an instant, this horrifying spell finally took shape.
Even Cyrus himself was shocked by the evil of the curse.
Kill the enemy first, then use their corpses to fight their former companions. Even Voldemort himself would become Cyrus's number one fan after seeing such cruel magic. Even Satan would have to give him a piece of syrup if he came.
Cyrus suddenly felt a little resistant to this magic, or perhaps it was a resistance to the evil hidden in his heart.
But now that the spell has been invented, even if you don't plan to use it in the future, you should at least give it a name.
"I remember that in Bleach, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakutō seemed to have a similar ability."
After the Bankai, the Zankadachi Nan: Fire Fire Ten Trillion Death Great Funeral Formation is a move to recall the bodies of the dead. However, this name is a bit too awkward, so Cyrus plans to call it:
"Hot hell."
Thank you for your 1000-point reward to Mingyue Mujixu. I found a new job, but it's much harder than the last one. I can't slack off and write novels anymore. (End of this chapter)
