Along with the influx of reward light balls, the sound of rolling waves from the deep sea seemed to echo in Char's ears. The power from the Kraken's blood became more and more evident with the stimulation of the blood of the other two magical animals. On the system panel, lines of prompts flashed by. The words "Regenerate Broken Limbs" appeared clearly, and in the luster that covered it, a clear diamond light was spreading rapidly.
As this process proceeded, he also suddenly felt a severe itching coming from the wounds all over his body. His pupils shrank slightly. He looked at his wounds, and the scene that came into his sight made him feel surprised. "Huh?!" All he saw were countless wounds deep enough to see the bones. Granulation tissue began to grow at an extremely fast rate, filling the wounds. Not long ago, his body was as white as if he had been tortured to death. But it only took a moment to harvest the blood emerald, and the hideous wounds all over his body had actually healed almost completely. Some shallow wounds were almost completely bridged. Apart from some minor marks, it was impossible to tell how badly injured he had been.
This recovery speed shocked him. This was because the power of the reward light ball had not been fully digested yet. The ability to [Regenerate Broken Limbs] had not yet been upgraded to the diamond level. This was much more effective than he had expected. A guess emerged in his mind. "Is it because of my legendary life ability? Regeneration of severed limbs... this must be related to life. Even at the same ability level, the stronger the vitality, the faster the regeneration speed. And my legendary life has already been sublimated once, so my recovery speed from injuries is extremely fast. Because of this, the effect of regenerating severed limbs has been greatly enhanced. Originally, I estimated that only a diamond-level limb regeneration could achieve results close to this. But I haven't reached the diamond level yet, so this recovery speed is even faster than I expected."
There was a fiery glow in his eyes. "What if I get promoted to the diamond level? What kind of performance will it be?!"
Just as he was looking forward to it, on the system panel, the diamond luster became more and more dazzling. As the power of the bonus light ball was continuously released, finally, in terms of the ability to regenerate broken limbs, the last bit of platinum luster was replaced by the clear light of diamonds. [Regeneration of Broken Limbs (Diamond Level)], promotion!
It was at this moment that he felt that the flesh and blood in his body seemed to become more active than before. At the same time, his legendary life ability, which had been sublimated once, had its glory of legend become a little brighter. It was the feedback from the ability to regenerate severed limbs. It could be seen how powerful the effect of this ability was after being promoted.
A look of joy appeared in his eyes. Because this performance meant that the ability to regenerate severed limbs was likely to become a piece of the puzzle for the continued sublimation of his legendary life, contributing to the birth of the next sublimation characteristic. He took a deep breath. "The suffering I endured before was worth it. But the second sublimation of legendary life is still too far away for me now. Let's first test the current performance of diamond-level limb regeneration."
After pondering for a moment, his eyes fell on his toes. Just to be on the safe side, he would try it with his toes first. If something went wrong, it wouldn't affect anything. Immediately, a Sectumsempra spell whistled out. Immediately, blood appeared. One of his toes was cut and fell to the ground. But then, a scene that shocked him occurred. His flesh and blood felt slightly hot. Powerful vitality surged towards the fracture. The flesh began to wriggle. In less than a second, a complete toe grew out, exactly the same as before.
His eyes brightened. This regenerative ability still exceeded his expectations. "If that's the case—" A moment later, his gaze fell on his calves. The same Sectumsempra spell. His left leg was severed at the knee. But it only took a few seconds longer than regenerating a toe, and a new calf regenerated. He then went on to act like some kind of suicidal psychopath, testing the ability of various organs in his body to regenerate. Hands, feet, limbs, eyes, tongue—then to the internal organs such as the spleen, lungs, intestines, and stomach. The result he got made his heart beat faster.
"These injuries, which are impossible for ordinary people to recover from, are as easy to recover as growing hair or sweating on my body. Hands, feet, etc. recover the fastest. Even if an arm is severed at the shoulder, a brand new one can be regenerated in about five seconds, without even feeling any awkwardness or sluggishness. The nose and tongue are similar. It's just that more delicate organs like eyes take a little longer to regenerate, but they can still grow back in about a minute. As for the internal organs, it's a little slower, generally around thirty seconds."
Just to be on the safe side, he didn't try his brain. Even with the diamond-level ability to regenerate severed limbs, even with the blessing of legendary life, it would probably be difficult to regenerate the brain. He wasn't that bold yet. As for the heart, which was a vital part, he estimated that as long as it was not completely destroyed instantly, if it was just a damaged part, it should still be able to grow out, but it would take longer than other internal organs.
Feeling his ability to recover at this moment, he clenched his palms. "I'm just like the trolls in fantasy novels. Normal weaknesses are almost non-existent in me. And this is only at the diamond level. If the ability to regenerate severed limbs were increased to epic or even legendary levels—I'm afraid it might be possible to be reborn from a single drop of blood!"
Feeling excited, he knew the demonstration of the ability to regenerate severed limbs had indeed made his self-protection ability soar again. But a moment later, when he recovered from his excitement, a strong feeling of fatigue also swept over his body and mind. This tiredness made him feel quite uncomfortable. His whole body felt like it was filled with lead, as if he was physically exhausted. He frowned for a moment, a look of realization appearing in his eyes. "Is it because I regenerated my limbs and organs too many times just now? This will consume my stamina at an extremely fast rate. Even a legendary life form would be burdened. Regenerating multiple times in a short period of time would lead to physical exhaustion. Even the spirit will become exhausted. So if you keep entering this state for a short period of time, you might not be able to sustain it physically and mentally—that's a drawback."
However, despite this disadvantage, compared to the benefits of the ability to regenerate severed limbs, it was almost negligible. After a short rest, feeling that deep tiredness begin to fade, his gaze fell on the system panel again. At the same time as his most notable limb regeneration ability was promoted to the diamond level, the smoke-breathing ability had also been upgraded to the platinum level. And there was a glimmer of diamond on it. The critical point of platinum and diamond had been reached. Its strength far exceeded that of ordinary platinum-level capabilities. He was also looking forward to this ability. If he remembered correctly, according to the Kraken, it had relied on this trick to escape when it had encountered Ms. Hufflepuff, avoiding the fate of being captured and taken back to Hogwarts to be used as food. You know, Ms. Hufflepuff was already the top wizard in the wizarding world. Judging from the fact that her Patronus could span thousands of years, her magical attainments must be at the level of the third sublimation of the legendary level. Although the Kraken was powerful, apart from its physical strength, everything else had been defeated by her. With such a huge gap, it could still run? It could be seen that this ability must have its unique features.
Just as his eyes fell on this ability, he also suddenly felt a little itchy in his throat, just like when he had gained the Dragonfire ability from the blood emerald. It seemed like something had grown. At this time, as he concentrated, the itching in his throat became more intense. Then, he couldn't help coughing. Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke gushed out of his mouth, instantly covering the surrounding area. And as the black smoke enveloped everything, everything before his eyes turned dark. This also surprised him greatly. His platinum-level night vision capabilities couldn't penetrate this darkness. That wasn't all. After he carefully sensed it, he also discovered that this black smoke actually had the effect of obscuring his magical perception. While in it, his own magical perception was not affected, but the magical perception of other wizards would seem to be disturbed, and their perception ability would be greatly reduced. You know, the more powerful the wizard, the less he relied on his eyes when casting spells in battle. Instead, he relied on the induction of magic. Caught off guard, once the magical perception was disturbed, even the most powerful wizard would find it difficult to adapt for a while. No wonder the Kraken was able to escape from Ms. Hufflepuff with this trick.
Then, his eyes flickered. He thought of another use for this ability. In addition to escaping, perhaps the black smoke that was exhaled could be used to create a more favorable environment for oneself in battle. Just like the Auror Quintaped he had fought before. Even if it was just transformed from an ordinary Auror, its magical perception had also grown to an extremely exaggerated level. Coupled with its rich combat experience, in a head-on battle, he had had almost no power to fight back and could only dodge left and right, which had made him feel even more exhausted. Fortunately, he had an invisibility cloak, which could directly make its magical perception as if it were nothing, and then kill it on the spot. But the Invisibility Cloak was an external force, after all. It did not belong to him; it was just borrowed temporarily and had to be returned to Harry. But this black mist was an ability he himself possessed. Its effect of interfering with the enemy's magical perception was not comparable to the Deathly Hallows' Invisibility Cloak, but it also had similar effects. If he had had this ability at that time, caught off guard, he could have taken advantage of the Auror Quintaped's inability to adapt. Maybe he could have created an opportunity to kill it on his own.
Thinking of this, he also nodded in satisfaction. "The application of this ability can be further developed later."
And finally, his eyes fell on the vortex ability. This ability had also reached the platinum level after harvesting the blood emerald. Just looking at the gloss, obviously, the level in the platinum level was not high enough. It was incomparable to the ability of [Smoke Breath], which already shimmered with a diamond glow. He also tried this ability. He slowly reached his hand into the water tank placed inside the small greenhouse. Then, a wonderful feeling welled up in his heart. It was as if he could create huge waves in the water at will. With this feeling, his mind moved. Sure enough, a whistling sound came from the water tank. The water began to swirl and surge at high speed. A vortex formed in the water tank. Accompanied by the roaring vortex, the walls of the water tank, which had been reinforced with magic, began to creak under the weight and began to twist and deform under the raging water flow. At this time, he stopped moving and nodded slightly.
If we were to really talk about single-target killing power, the ability of Whirlpool was certainly not as good as his ancient weather magic. It was not as good as the Sectumsempra spell, not even as good as the laser spell. But in terms of the scope of damage, none of the spells he currently had could compare to it. Although it was mainly effective in water and seemed that it could not function in an environment without water on land, which seemed a bit useless, he always felt that this ability still had great potential for development.
But anyway, this time, by harvesting the blood emeralds, he had definitely made a fortune. And this was just a pleasant surprise. He had not yet taken stock of his real gains during this period of time. Immediately, he took out a large bottle. Inside was the blood of the Quintapeds that he had collected from the Forbidden Forest trial. Looking at this blood, there was a fiery glint in his eyes. In a sense, this was his biggest gain this time. So much blood was enough for him to give birth to a large number of mutant human-faced glow-in-the-dark mushrooms. And this meant that the amount of ancient ashes he could obtain would be several times, or even dozens of times, more than what he had obtained before. Such a large amount of ancient ashes was enough to support his research on ancient plant cultivation in the future. As long as there could be a breakthrough in these topics, the benefits gained would be unimaginable. And he did not forget that he had long had a grudge with the existence in the temple on the island of Delia. By cultivating the mutant mushrooms, he could forcibly take away some of the power in the temple, making it weak. Then it would be more difficult for it to find trouble for him. This kind of behavior of strengthening oneself and weakening the enemy could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But now, the precarious atmosphere in Hogwarts had not subsided. It wasn't the time for him to induce the mutant mushrooms. He was not in a hurry to use the blood immediately. Instead, it was properly preserved. Finished taking stock of this harvest, he was quite satisfied. However, apart from the gains, this Forbidden Forest trial was not without losses. His eyes fell on the Bat-Bogey Hex on the system panel. Originally, with the blessing of the cursed jewel, the spell had been temporarily upgraded to the diamond level. But now, it had fallen to the critical point between platinum and diamond. The reason for this phenomenon was when he had used cursed magic to deal with the Quintapeds. The magic power in their bodies had produced a wonderful counteraction with the curse magic power. The magical balance of those monsters had begun to collapse because of the curse, but the cursed jewels on his body had been almost shattered into powder, even the cursed jewels of the Heart of the Ocean level. He could only shake his head at this. After all, those monsters were the work of Voldemort. He was lucky to have had to pay only the price of these cursed jewels. Otherwise, if things had gone wrong, several young wizards might even have lost their lives. As for the loss of the cursed jewels, it wasn't particularly huge. During this period, he had suffered from the curse day and night, and he had also gained a lot of insights into curse magic. This could be seen from the fact that the Bat-Bogey Hex could still maintain its level between platinum and diamond. If he was given some more time, relying on his attainments in curse studies, he was confident that he could advance the spell to the diamond level again.
And at this time, just as his attention shifted away from the damaged cursed objects on his body, a faint call sounded in his ears. "Save me... I don't want to disappear yet—"
He raised an eyebrow. Looking in the direction of the voice, he discovered that it was the voodoo doll that he had exploited. All the other cursed objects had been destroyed, but this one was still barely surviving? Most of its body had been destroyed, leaving only a strange head making a pleading sound. He was quite surprised. In terms of the strength of the curse magic, this voodoo doll could not even be ranked among the cursed objects on his body, yet it had survived. Could it be that this cursed object had been created by Two-Face? In terms of craftsmanship, was it much higher than the cursed jewels created by those unknown dark wizards? Or was it because of his own previous exploitation? This voodoo doll had drawn much of the cursed magic from the rest of the cursed jewels and had some strange change occurred?
This made him, who was originally uninterested, a little curious. This voodoo doll was actually of some value. Curses were indeed a strange and powerful means in the magical world. Keeping it, maybe it could be useful in some occasions. As for how to save this voodoo doll that was on the verge of extinction, it wasn't that there was no solution. His curse studies had at least reached the platinum level. He couldn't say how well he knew this subject, but in this mysterious field, there were probably not many wizards in the magical world who knew more about it than he did. "The original purpose of the voodoo doll curse was to summon the resentful souls from the River Styx to inflict an extremely vicious and powerful curse. So the best carrier is not cloth or paper, but... flesh. The more abundant and powerful the flesh and blood, especially if it comes from the caster himself, the more powerful the voodoo doll curse will be. But even the most ruthless dark wizard wouldn't dare to use flesh and blood to make a voodoo doll. The reason is very simple. Once you use this method, you must continue to feed the voodoo doll with your own flesh and blood. This thing's appetite will only grow until its creator is reduced to a pile of bones. It is true that you can curse your enemies to death with it, but you yourself will also be doomed. Dark wizards are not suicidal lunatics, so they certainly won't use such methods. That's why people started making voodoo dolls out of cloth and paper."
His eyes flickered slightly. The downsides of making voodoo dolls out of flesh and blood were unbearable for other dark wizards. But for him now, it was sparse and common. How much flesh and blood did a voodoo doll need? Just the hands and feet he had cut off earlier, the eyes he had dug out, and various organs... it was enough to feed it for who knows how long. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "I wonder if there's ever been a precedent in the magical world of using legendary lives to make voodoo dolls. How strong would the curse be on a voodoo doll like that?" He licked his lips slightly. The next moment, he picked up the various organs and flesh scattered on the ground and stuffed them into the voodoo doll's mouth.
