Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 398 Seizing the Origin Trait of the Silent One! Finding an Alternative Path to Enhance Magic

"Fuse this S-rank energy-stealing talisman into my fusion!"

Dali sent a command to the system using his mind.

[Command executed! Consumes 1 S-rank magic item fusion opportunity.]

[Current remaining fusion opportunities: S-rank *1, A-rank *6, B-rank *6, C-rank *3.]

【Congratulations to the host! 】

[Gain one opportunity to steal a magical trait with S-rank absorption and carrying capacity!]

You may use this opportunity to seize a wizard's or magical creature's special talents, extraordinary traits, or magically enhanced supernatural abilities.

The magical traits that can be stolen cannot exceed the carrying capacity of an S-rank energy-stealing talisman.

The target must be incapable of resistance before it can be captured.

[This reinforced my knowledge and skills in alchemy and magical item modification!]

[You have refined your crafting skills for creating S-rank Energy-Stealing Talismans. You can transfer this skill to others through touch, without affecting your original skills.]

After the fusion was complete, Dali immediately controlled the Soul Control Space within his body and used dozens of Soul-Hooking Chains to lock out the relatively weak Obscurus that originated from Ariana.

Then, he extended his right hand, palm facing the defenseless black mist monster, and activated the S-rank energy-stealing spell's ability to steal energy.

A vortex of light appeared in his palm, projecting a unique and powerful suction force that went straight into Momo Ran's body.

Soon, the trait that Dudley wanted was slowly extracted and taken away by him.

[The host has consumed one absorption and capacity-bearing opportunity to seize an S-rank magical trait!]

[Gain the Obscurial Root Trait!]

From this point on, the host can perceive negative emotions such as sadness, depression, and pain, and be nourished by these emotions, thus ignoring the limitations of the wizard's bloodline and continuously improving their magical abilities.

However, please note that this trait differs from that of wizarding bloodlines and cannot be improved through conventional methods of magical cultivation, such as increasing magical knowledge, strengthening mental will, or growing old.

The host's original wizard bloodline limitations remain. To improve magical abilities through conventional means, the host still needs to enhance their wizard bloodline.

By acquiring the Obscurial trait, Dudley essentially bypassed the blocked conventional path of wizarding bloodlines, opening up a completely unobstructed trail.

But there are always gains and losses; this newly opened path cannot be traversed using the same methods as the main road.

Now, he can continue to improve his magical cultivation, but he can only do so through the nourishment of negative emotions.

Dudley had anticipated this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have continued to research and develop even better Demon Bloodstone.

Upon entering the ranks of legendary wizards, this level of magical skill is equivalent to five times that of an elite professor.

That is, Dali's current level of magical skill.

However, given Dudley's current level of magical knowledge, if the limitations of his wizard bloodline were completely broken, his magical abilities could increase four or five times, or even more, in an instant.

Equivalent to twenty or thirty times the elite professor level.

Unfortunately, without obtaining a conceptual spell that could break the limitations of a wizard's bloodline, he would probably never enjoy such a rapid rate of improvement in his magical cultivation.

Without the help of the Conceptual Spell, no matter how much the Bloodstone is optimized, it's impossible for Dudley's wizarding bloodline to be enhanced so much.

Therefore, based on the current situation, if Dali wants to improve his magical cultivation, he can only rely on the evil human souls within the Soul Control Space for help.

The improvement of the Silent Ghost King's strength can be delayed; right now, these rations must be prioritized for his own use.

Once we've dealt with Death, we must continue our rampant plundering of evil human souls!

Thinking this, Dali controlled the dozens of soul-hooking chains he had released, and retrieved the Silent One, which had lost its original characteristics, back into his Soul Control Space.

He then used black soul fire to refine it into the Silent Ghost General.

Having lost its core qualities, this Obscurus also lost its ability to absorb negative emotions and grow stronger, becoming just another ghost among the crowd.

Like other ghost generals, it can only slowly grow stronger over time and with the nourishment of its soul essence.

However, its sacrifice was worthwhile.

Through mental connection, Dali connected with the more than one thousand evil human souls in the Soul Control Space who were suffering from the torment of beast-shaped ghost generals and ghost generals.

A torrent of negative emotions surged through his mental connection, instantly overwhelming Dali's mind.

However, with the passive conceptual repair spell effect and the system protecting Dali's mind, these negative emotions could not harm Dali at all. They were all accepted by Dali and transformed into resources to improve his magical cultivation.

Under the influence of the Obscurial Root trait, Dali's magical cultivation, which had not improved for a long time, began to grow at a fairly rapid pace due to negative emotions.

It is estimated that he will be able to double his elite professor-level wizarding skills every three months.

This is because Dudley is already a legendary wizard, and it is too difficult for him to improve his magical skills.

If it were a novice wizard who had never studied magic, with Dudley's current resources, his magical skills could be raised to the Elite Professor level in about three days.

After all, with nearly 1600 evil human souls providing negative emotions 1 hours a day, in terms of the Obscurus's growth in the host body, Dudley's one day is equivalent to at least 4.3 years in the host body.

Back then, from the time Ariana was bullied by three Muggle children and gave birth to the Obscurus, to her death at the age of fourteen, it took her at most seven or eight years to raise the Obscurus to the Elite Professor level.

This efficiency is reasonable.

However, while the improvement in magical skills is certainly gratifying, for Dudley at this point, it is merely icing on the cake.

Magic is of little use against Death.

Dali flew out of his personal space and returned to the principal's office.

He briefly informed Old Deng that he was confident he could eliminate Death and there was no need to worry too much.

Dudley then stopped talking about Death and instead asked Old Man Dumbledore to arrange for Newt and his wife to come to Hogwarts to see him as soon as possible. He wanted to have a few more excellent professors at Hogwarts before dealing with Death.

……

Leaving aside Dudley's pre-battle arrangements, the corrupt pure-blood forces within the British magical world are now rife with undercurrents.

More than a month ago, Dudley devised a plan to use Eckeris to hone the magical world and assigned the Malfoy family the task of accelerating the screening of two-faced Death Eaters.

The Malfoys dared not slack off at all, and were busy running around, forming alliances and making deals.

Draco also helped in this, taking charge of communicating and connecting the pureblood snakes who had changed their minds.

In addition, two major pieces of news in the wizarding world during this period accelerated the fragmentation of the corrupt pure-blood faction, objectively reducing the difficulty for the Malfoy family to carry out Dudley's mission.
