[Extraordinary painting detected! Automatically added to the gallery!]
[Name: Fusion Nest]
[Type: Concept · Sketch]
[Rank: First-Order · Blue Precious]
[Description: A super fusion card drawn with fusion magic.]
[Effect: One-time item. Consumes magic power to fuse designated non-human targets, provided the fused targets have a magic power level far below your own.]
[Evaluation: The Scarlet Nest, devouring life, nurturing death.]
A black nest, formed by countless streams of light, appeared vividly on the paper.
Like a pregnant mother, it subtly pulsed and throbbed.
A faint smell of rust emanated from it.
Justin, who witnessed the entire process: ?
What, what is this thing?
He seemed to have just watched Ethan draw with an ordinary pencil, and then a Cthulhu appeared?!
Justin swallowed, stiffly turned his head, and stared at Professor Lockhart.
Professor Lockhart is so amazing, he must be able to protect them, right—
Ethan looked at the painting with satisfaction.
As his soul fusion and painting skills improved, he indeed felt his strength grow.
Just a casual sketch could produce an extraordinary painting.
A year ago, when he first arrived in this world,
even drawing meticulously with charcoal every day, he could only produce ordinary, slightly captivating paintings.
"I really look forward to what world-shaking paintings I'll create when I reach max level—"
Ethan murmured with emotion.
He looked up at the cage covered with a cloth.
Feeling the chaotic magic emanating from within.
Ethan curved his lips, gripped the card, and softly uttered:
"Super Fusion, activate!"
"Whoosh!"
The card instantly transformed into a distorted stream of magic, flowing into the cage!
"Screech—!!"
Inside the cage, a piercing shriek suddenly erupted!
It was as if an invisible giant hand had clasped them together, accompanied by a grating, teeth-aching crunching sound.
The students all showed expressions of terror.
Lockhart glanced at the cage, and even though Ethan was casting a spell right under his nose, he didn't see it.
Instead, he said triumphantly: "Yes, you heard it too, the creatures inside are very dangerous!"
"But don't worry! With me here, you won't suffer any harm!"
That's what you said.
Ethan happily withdrew his hand.
Only Justin, sitting next to him, noticed what he had done.
Justin: I should be able to survive this class—right?
Lockhart: "Before facing danger, let's have a small quiz—don't be nervous, it's just to see if you've diligently read all my complete works."
He was completely unaware.
A new life was being nurtured beside him.
Waiting to be born.
The test papers with decorative borders were handed out and then collected.
Lockhart nodded with satisfaction as he flipped through the papers:
"Hmm, Ravenclaw students generally answered very well! I must award Ravenclaw ten points!"
"That's right, my ideal is for all Wizards and non-Wizards to live in peace!"
Saying that, Lockhart grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Slytherin market lost completely.
Ethan thought.
At this moment, Lockhart suddenly let out an exaggerated gasp.
He stood up and held up the test paper in his hand to everyone:
"Look! Ethan's test paper! Facing this talented—even almost catching up to me—child, I must read it carefully."
"Draw Lockhart in your heart."
"A brain soaking in a jar—what does this mean?"
Ethan smiled without speaking.
Lockhart: ???
A shiver of fear instinctively ran through him.
Incident after incident flashed through his mind.
.—. Hmph, Ethan, Ethan.
You must know that relying on these strange actions alone won't gain popularity!
You must show true strength.
Just like Mr. Lamp.
Although unwilling.
It was precisely because of Mr. Lamp's terrifying and cruel methods that he shocked everyone and made headlines in The Daily Prophet.
Therefore, he too must make a splash!
Lockhart put down the test paper he couldn't comprehend, rubbed his hands, and pressed them onto the cage:
"Now—be careful! You are about to face the most terrifying, most evil thing in the magic world! I only ask that you remain calm!"
The whole class held their breath.
Only Ethan, his eyes slightly widened with excitement.
It's coming!
Lockhart dramatically pulled off the cover, saying as if performing: "That's the Cornish Pixie I just caught!"
Inside the classroom, there was dead silence.
Everyone's eyes were wide with terror, frozen in their seats.
Countless gazes were fixed on the large cage.
Justin muttered blankly: "Merlin... what kind of monster is this...."
Seeing this,
Lockhart was quite satisfied, even a little beyond his expectations.
Hehe~ As expected, a group of angry Cornish Pixies was the best choice!
Professor Snape even mocked him sarcastically about this!
How ignorant! Just as Lockhart was about to comfort the students.
A high-pitched shriek pierced the deadly silence in the room.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!"
A Hufflepuff girl pointed at the cage.
Her eyes were wide, and her face showed palpable fear, looking quite unsettling.
"W-what kind of monster is that?!!"
At this point, even Lockhart finally sensed that something was wrong.
Cornish Pixies... are they... this terrifying?
Lockhart looked down in confusion.
Then, he saw the most twisted, most grotesque creature of his life.
Its body filled the entire cage, and it looked out with its incomplete bird-like skull pressed against the bars.
Inside its empty eye sockets, within its skull, a faint, eerie blue soul fire glowed.
Further back was a neck almost longer than its entire body.
It was tightly folded due to the confined space.
Its featherless, wrinkled body, tattered wings, and slender limbs, with its front limbs tightly gripping the cage.
It looked as if it could break out of the cage at any moment.
It was like a newly hatched chick, yet also a mummified corpse.
The combination was incredibly bizarre and terrifying!!

Huh???
W-what is this thing?!
Didn't I catch a Cornish Pixie?!
And I've never heard of Pixies evolving?!
[Fused Blue Elf x 17]
[New species obtained: Death Bird Hatchling!]
[Possesses a certain level of intelligence, capable of holding weapons to attack]
[Still a young individual, can use exclusive magic after evolution]
[Evaluation: Fills the gap of evil Wizards not having a Phoenix.]
[Congratulations! You've made it onto the Hybrid Animal Leaderboard!]
[First Place: Herpo]
[Second Place: Hagrid]
[Third Place: Ethan Vincent]
A new species was born!
And it's a magical creature that can use magic!!
Ethan's eyes widened, and he leaned forward.
A surprising light flickered in his cobalt blue eyes as he gazed at the creature he had created.
Unlike Cerberus,
this was a living, real creature.
Similar to the Basilisk and the Blast-Ended Skrewt.
Ethan couldn't help but reach out his hand towards it.
The next second.
"Roar—!!!"
A piercing shriek erupted from the cage!
With a "crack" sound,
the cage, which clearly had no protective spells on it,
was split open by the monstrous bird, right before everyone's eyes.
