Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 14 The Old Demon King, the Little Wizard

Black magic is very interesting!

Its fire cannot be extinguished by water.

That's right, the first spell Grindelwald taught the young wizard was the Fiendfyre spell.

Three days have passed, but Grindelwald is not happy at all; in fact, his face has become even more gloomy. This is because the little wizard used his most prized possession, the Fiendfire that almost burned down the whole of Paris, in the fireplace.

Is this my Fiery Blaze?

Both were blue flames, and both were unable to extinguish on their own. The old wizard felt that his Fiendfire was far inferior to the young wizard's Fiendfire!

One's own fierce fire will produce struggling, ferocious faces within the flames, displaying a sinister and terrifying nature. Once unleashed, it becomes uncontrollable and will harm oneself.

The little wizard's Fiendfire produces blue fire phoenixes that chase and play, emitting precise cries. Occasionally, they roll around on the little wizard's hand or circle the water glass, helping to heat up the milk...

Not only is it incredibly docile, but it also has many additional functions. The two kinds of fierce fire are simply incomparable!

Watching the young wizard diligently writing, Grindelwald felt old for the first time.

"Sir, may we continue?"

Seeing that the old man remained silent, Irving took it as a tacit agreement, then picked up his notebook and began asking questions:

"The name 'black magic' comes from the fact that prolonged use of black magic will affect the wizard's mind and body, making their heart dark as well, and eventually causing the wizard to fall completely into darkness and go mad."

"So, as the first Dark Lord, you've been using dark magic for quite some time now. How do you feel about its influence on you?"

Grindelwald's lips twitched. His face darkened, and he looked up to meet the young wizard's gaze. Those pure, black eyes, full of thirst for knowledge, caused his anger to plummet.

"Hmph, it's just those fools talking nonsense. The influence of black magic on wizards isn't that strong, at least not for the vast majority of black magic. What truly corrupts wizards is themselves, not black magic."

Owen nodded. He had actually thought about this. As the saying goes, "He who possesses a deadly weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent." Dark magic is powerful, fast-acting, and has simpler usage conditions than ordinary spells. For example, the Fiendfyre spell doesn't require shaking your wrist or paying attention to the pronunciation of the incantation. You just need to firmly believe in yourself that you can succeed.

It can indeed be addictive, leading to arrogance and ultimately, the idea that "I am the best in the world" and causing trouble when you go out.

Therefore, black magic is not as terrifying as it is written in the records. What is truly terrifying is the human heart.

Record!

The quill pen flew across the notebook, jotting down the little wizard's thoughts.

"Sir, I'd like to study the Cruciatus Curse. May I cast it?"

? ? ? ?

A row of question marks appeared above the old wizard's head. He looked into the young wizard's eyes: "Has the Fiendfyre curse driven you mad?"

"No, sir. I want to experience the specific power of the spell and what it feels like to be under its influence."

After confirming several times that the young wizard hadn't gone mad, Grindelwald pointed a finger at Owen: "Crunch in the Heart."

"snort!"

The impact of the spell only caused Owen's upper body to lean back slightly, but the ensuing intense pain instantly turned his face deathly pale. However, he did not scream, but only groaned in pain.

What moved the old wizard was that even after being hit by the Cruciatus Curse, the young wizard persisted, and the quill pen responsible for recording never stopped, faithfully recording all of Owen's feelings at that moment.

pain!

My body and bones are in excruciating pain!

It felt like countless knives were cutting into my body, and countless hammers were smashing my bones, but the most unbearable thing was the twisting sensation in my heart, like an invisible giant hand relentlessly squeezing it.

When he felt he was about to give up, Irving focused his consciousness on Little White, and then watched the changes in his body through Little White's eyes.

Grindelwald was dumbfounded!

He clearly saw that the little wizard had lost consciousness, but from beginning to end, he only groaned. What was most amazing was that even though the little wizard was unconscious, the quill pen that was responsible for recording did not stop and was still recording rapidly.

Is this... is this still magic?

Have we been here too long and become a little out of touch with the current magical era?

Once the muscle spasms stopped, Owen's consciousness returned to his body. Feeling the pain all over his body, inside and out, he suddenly smiled, startling the old wizard.

"Are you out of your mind, kid?"

"Of course not, sir. I've discovered that if you control the power of this Cruciatus Curse, it can greatly improve your physical abilities."

"what?"

He could understand each word the little wizard said, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand them at all.

This Heart-Piercing Mantra improves physical fitness?

Dumbledore, where did you find this freak?!

Irving wasn't lying. He had never stopped improving his physical fitness and had kept clear records. After this Cruciatus Curse, the amount of muscle exercise he received was equivalent to a year's worth of morning runs, and it involved training all his muscle groups at the same time.

Most importantly, my heart became much stronger after this experience.

The curse may be good, but its pain far outweighs its benefits. If a person is repeatedly cursed, they will still suffer irreparable damage.

"The Unforgivable Curse, that's really something."

The young wizard, pale-faced, went off to study with his notes, while the old wizard sat there, lost in thought...

After a long pause, Grindelwald suddenly looked up: "Kid, you only have six months. Are you sure you want to waste it all?"

Irving turned back and smiled: "Until you come to your senses, this is all I can do."

As the first Dark Lord, Grindelwald was very powerful. Although he was defeated, does that mean a defeated Dark Lord is no longer a Dark Lord?

While Grindelwald also lacks a wand, he can not only cast spells without a wand, but also cast spells silently, which means he can use the magic he wants without chanting a spell. This technique has led to another more advanced technique: multicasting!

The old wizard's spirits returned, and he transformed back into the old devil. However, he didn't teach Owen too much dark magic. Instead, he taught him various spellcasting techniques and had a no-rules duel with the young wizard every three days.

With advanced skills and practical training, Owen's progress was visible to the naked eye. However, what made the old wizard a little unhappy was that the young wizard's enthusiasm for learning did not slacken at all. No matter how tired he was, he would persist in studying.

"Sir, knowledge is the only wealth I have now that cannot be taken away by others."
