Ai Wen felt a little bit in his heart, this is not good news.
So far, he has destroyed two Horcruxes made by Voldemort, Tom Riddle's diary and Slytherin's locket.
Judging from the numbers, it seems that their own side has gained the upper hand, destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes, making him one step closer to death, but in fact doing so cannot effectively weaken the power of Voldemort's body, but will make him more dangerous.
According to the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", the essence of the Horcrux is the soul fragments stored in a specific container. The black wizard relies on the evil power brought by the killing to forcibly split and strip these soul fragments from the body. But there is still a weak connection between them and the main soul.
It is precisely because of this trace of connection that as long as the Horcruxes are not completely destroyed, no matter how much damage the main body suffers, it will not really die.
The connection between souls and immortality are the main principles of this black magic.
But also because of this trace of connection, once the Horcrux is destroyed, it is destined to affect the main soul and make it even more unstable.
Specific to Voldemort, no matter how many parts he divides his soul, he still has a complete soul until the Horcrux is destroyed.
He just kept his soul in different places with the help of Horcruxes.
Voldemort in this state may be ferocious enough, but he is still an evil dark wizard and a human being. Even though he has very powerful dark power, he still has scruples in his heart, and he still has what humans should have. all emotions.
But as the soul fragments stored in the Horcrux were destroyed, Voldemort's soul became incomplete, and the already unstable main soul became fragmented.
In this state, he will gradually lose all emotion and reason, transforming from a human being into a monster, and will have no other thoughts other than bringing endless killing and crazy destruction.
The soul becomes fragmented, which means that he himself is also more evil.
This is also one of the reasons why Voldemort's power will be stronger. You must know that in addition to powerful magic power to cast black magic, the key to the power of a spell lies in whether the caster's soul is evil enough.
The more evil the soul, the stronger the power of black magic.
Splitting the soul is the purest form of evil, the greater the degree of fragmentation, the greater the degree of evil, and the destruction of the Horcrux means that Voldemort will become more dangerous.
Fortunately, in the process, he will gradually lose his sanity and become a monster swallowed and controlled by the evil power in his heart.
From this perspective, Voldemort is essentially weakened.
In Ivan's view, the scary thing about Voldemort is not how much black magic he has mastered and how much power ordinary people can't imagine, but the ability to figure out people's hearts.
He was in the orphanage when he was a child, until he was in Hogwarts when he was a student, and then he became the Dark Lord. Judging from Voldemort's past experience, he is very good at demagoguery, spreading fear and creating division among people.
When he gradually lost his mind because of the Horcruxes being destroyed one by one, gave up his strengths, and chose to conquer with strength, he was already doomed to fail.
The production of Horcruxes seems to make Voldemort stronger, and he has the power of immortality, but in essence, it disperses his power and lays the groundwork for failure. This has to be said to be an irony.
Before making a Horcrux, one should be aware of it.
For the caster, there is always far more to lose than gain by using this wicked black magic.
Voldemort certainly knew this, but he still chose to create Horcruxes and divide his soul into multiple shares. Ai Wen didn't know why he did this, but if it was him, he would not choose to do so anyway.
He sighed and continued to turn the pages backwards.
Behind the horcrux production method are related experimental records, data, and methods of how to destroy the horcrux.
First, the soul can be made whole again through repentance.
According to the above book, if you truly feel what you have done and repent of it, you can reintegrate the split soul back.
This method seems simple, but for a dark wizard whose soul has been split, doing so is extremely painful, and this pain alone is enough to destroy the penitent.
What's more, it is impossible for Voldemort to repent.
Since Voldemort will not take the initiative to fuse the soul, the only way to destroy the Horcrux is to destroy it directly, and destroy it with something extremely destructive, so powerful that the Horcrux can no longer use magic to repair itself.
The reason why this must be done is because the soul in a horcrux is different from that in a normal person.
The reason why the soul fragments in it can survive is entirely dependent on the carrier that has been cast with powerful protection magic, otherwise the soul fragments stored in it cannot survive.
As long as the magic container is intact, the soul fragments in it can fly in and out of the body of someone close to the container, absorbing the life force of other people to strengthen themselves.
Of course, this kind of proximity is not about how long you hold the Horcrux in your hand, it has nothing to do with contact. The key is emotional proximity, and last year Ron poured his affections into Tom Riddle's Japan, which made him very easy to dominate.
If you're too fond of or dependent on Horcruxes, you're in big trouble.
The same is true of the Slytherin locket just now. He hopes to lure and force Aiwen to fall through the desire hidden deep in Aiwen's heart.
Because the Horcrux itself is a fragment of the soul, it can inherit all the memories and thoughts of the original owner, every Horcrux of Voldemort is as dangerous as Voldemort himself.
On the last page of the Horcrux introduction, there are many dense records. This should be the handwriting left by Regulus back then. Most of it is about the names of extremely destructive items that can destroy Horcruxes.
Because such items were too rare, until the end, Regulus couldn't find anything that could destroy the Horcrux, so he could only order Kreacher to take the Horcrux away.
Aiwen was very fortunate that he pulled out the basilisk's fangs.
The basilisk's fangs can destroy Horcruxes not because it is so sharp, but because there is only one antidote for the basilisk's poison, which is the extremely rare Phoenix's tears.
There were few things as destructive as the basilisk fangs, and Regulus couldn't find them at the time.
Behind Horcruxes, "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" also introduces a lot of evil black magic. Aiwen flipped through it briefly. If one word was used to describe the feeling of this kind of thing, it would be shocking.
For example, the evil curse behind the Horcrux is based on the study of the Dementor's Kiss, directly targeting a person's soul, pulling the soul out of the body, and making him irreversible. Further on, there are several other curses, the production and control methods of the corpse, the detailed introduction of the three unforgivable curses, how to summon demons and sign contracts, and so on.
