Chapter 26 Unexpected Joy(1/2)
Kreacher took John and Dobby to his residence at No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
It was a dirty cupboard, filled with all kinds of sundries, and filled with a musty smell.
There was also a dirty blanket spread out in the corner, and it looked like Kreacher would sleep on it.
Looking at the terrible condition in the cupboard, Dobby raised his head proudly.
He felt like he had won!
So what if Kreacher brags about his Master Regulus?
Doesn't Kreacher live in such a terrible place?
And what about his Dobby?
Master John had a very large ‘staff lounge’ of fifteen square meters specially built for him!
Or a luxurious suite with bathroom!
really!
Master John is the best master in the world!
No one here paid attention to Dobby.
Kreacher was shakily digging something out of the compartment under his dirty blanket.
And John was watching him intently.
"Here are the pictures of Miss Bella and Miss Sissy. These are my mistress's gloves. These are the Order of Merlin, First Class from Lord Arcturus Black. This is the goblet with the family crest.
And, and..."
Kreacher introduced it with a vigilant face, as if he was afraid that John wouldn't be able to resist grabbing it.
Finally, he took out a locket and said, "There is also a locket, Master Regulus's locket!"
John nodded, ignoring Kreacher's other treasures. With a flick of his wand, the locket automatically flew into his hand.
As soon as he got it, John felt an aggressive magic power on the locket.
John was familiar with it.
This is the smell from the remnant soul of Voldemort!
The reason why John wants to pursue the Horcrux.
In addition to wanting to kill Voldemort completely when necessary, it also wanted to swallow Voldemort's remaining soul.
You must know that "Riddle's Diary" a few years ago and the two soul fragments in Harry Potter's body could not only greatly increase John's strength, but also possess the ability of Snake Talk.
This made John look forward to the abilities he might gain from devouring the fragments of Voldemort's soul.
The only problem now is.
How should he devour it?
The 'Slytherin's Locket' in front of him was made entirely of metal and gemstones, so it was impossible for John to chew it directly.
After thinking about it for a while.
John suddenly had an idea in his mind.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he immediately turned around and returned to his room.
Seeing this, Kreacher quickly followed suit with a worried expression on his face.
Dobby also took back the visiting cupboard, laughed at Kreacher's thoughts, and followed Kreacher warily.
Several people quickly returned to the safety of the magic suitcase.
John then used [Occlumency] to empty his brain, try his best to suppress his self-awareness, and force himself into a defenseless semi-coma state.
At the same time, he put the locket against his forehead.
This is what John came up with.
John had already discovered it from the remaining souls in "Riddle's Diary".
Voldemort's remnant souls are actually unwilling.
They don't want to be imprisoned in such a small dead thing forever, unable to move, hear, or speak...
They long to become the main soul and become a truly living individual.
That's why the remnant soul in "Riddle's Diary" went to seize Harry's body, and even wanted to devour John.
Now, John has created a perfect 'house-grabbing' environment for 'Slytherin's Locket'.
John believed that as long as the remnant soul of Voldemort in front of him still had a little bit of greed, he would not give up this great opportunity!
This is the real way to lure the snake out of its hole!
And the reality was exactly as John expected.
John had just placed the 'Slytherin's Locket' on his forehead.
A faint black smoke floated out from the locket.
It seemed to have self-awareness, and it tentatively slowly entered through John's seven orifices, invaded John's brain, and carefully explored possible dangers inside.
However, there was deathly silence in John's mind.
This discovery greatly delighted the remnant of Voldemort.
More and more black smoke floated out of the locket and continued to pour into John's mind.
They condensed into a black skull, laughing and shouting, celebrating their new life!
But what Voldemort's remnant soul doesn't know is...
At this moment, a huge black dragon composed of John's main consciousness and magic power is hiding under a layer of darkness created by [Occlumency] and staring at him eagerly!
Until Voldemort's remnant soul stripped all of himself from the locket and poured it into John's body. When he was about to control this body, the black dragon suddenly moved!
"Kachakacha—"
The sound of breaking glass was heard.
The black dragon broke through the blockade and bit the entire remnant soul of Voldemort in its mouth.
"ah--"
The original cheers turned into screams.
The remnant spirit of Voldemort struggled hard and wanted to fight against John.
But this is all in vain.
John’s ‘chewing’ ability is really terrifying!
As the black dragon continued to bite and chew, Voldemort's remnant soul slowly died away.
A stream of pure magic power was quickly transformed, making John's own magic talent rise a lot.
Not only that, John could also feel it clearly.
There have been some other changes in my magic power.
They seem to be becoming... more aggressive!
It's a bit like the special magic that Voldemort poured into him.
But it's stronger and more vicious!
Using this kind of magic power to drive curse magic, the effect will be greatly enhanced.
For example, John is best at [Shen Feng Wu Ying]. If John uses it now, the power will be doubled!
[Life-killing Curse] This kind of curse, which is extremely powerful in itself, does not have such a strong increase, but its power will be increased by at least half!
This permanent gain effect is really terrifying!
"Ha! It seems that this is the real effect of Voldemort's transformation of his own magic power. The last time he gave us magic power, the guy must have saved a trick." John sneered, "But what's the use of this? Finally,
Haven’t you got it from me?”
Satisfied, John slowly opened his eyes and looked at the locket again.
Due to John's strategy of "lubing the snake out of its hole", the locket itself has not been damaged at the moment.
And to John's surprise...
After Voldemort's remnant soul dissipated, he could still sense a magical power from the locket.
However, unlike Voldemort's remnant soul, this magical aura is thicker and older.
According to John's speculation, this should be something inherent in the locket itself.
After all, as a relic cherished by Salazar Slytherin, this locket cannot just look good.
Just like Gryffindor's sword, this Slytherin's locket should also have some kind of ability.
Of course, if you want to use this ability, you will definitely need certain conditions.
To be continued...
