All living creatures have souls, no matter what they are. Even Voldemort, whose whole body has been rebuilt with the power of the Bewitched Monument, still needs the core fragment of his soul.
Because of this, Voldemort is still Voldemort, not a puppet controlled by the Bewitched Monument.
And those who are mentally tortured and filled with fear have very special souls.
The reason why they have strong resistance to magic is precisely because their souls have undergone negative changes in pain and torture, causing the magic in their bodies to become manic.
Therefore, when facing the Obscurus, the mysterious and rare soul magic is the most suitable choice.
With just one blow, Maka dispersed most of the black mist that rushed toward him. Perhaps he was mentally shocked, so he retreated in a hurry.
At least half of the black mist that had been blown away faded away and disappeared, while the rest gathered up again and chased the black mist group that was escaping behind.
In just one confrontation, the unusually large black mist actually shrank by one-third of its volume.
"Miss Schoen, I... ahem... I don't want to fight with you. Why can't we stop and have a good chat?" Maka didn't move, just stood in the direction of the door, blocking the other party's back. road.
But even if he said this, the black mist that Helen transformed into had no intention of returning to human form. Although it was obvious that she was no match, she was unmoved at all and hung in the middle of the room, stalemateing Maka.
"Hmm... Okay," Maka stared at the other person for a while and could only shake her head, "Ahem... Then let's not talk. I still have a lot of things to do..."
As soon as these words came out, he raised his staff again. Seeing another huge black skull phantom impacting quickly, Helen, who was already prepared, immediately ducked to the side, trying to avoid the terrible attack.
If you get hit by that thing, it won't be that pleasant. Just now she even felt that the black mist that was originally controlled like an arm was about to escape her control!
You know, she is different from other Obscurials. She is the only one who can completely control the form of the Obscurial without the mark of the Deathly Hallows. That manic and rioting feeling simply made her feel like she was back when she was a child.
However, she did hide, and she did so promptly and quickly. But who knew that the skull phantom could actually turn a corner - Maka waved her hand again, and she was hit by the extremely fast black shadow.
Soul magic was originally silent, but Helen seemed to hear a cry from her own soul. In a chaotic dizziness, it was no longer possible for her to control the black mist, and it was out of her control in the blink of an eye.
But even so, the inexplicable energy did not go wild. Instead, it quietly retracted into her body and lay dormant quietly.
It’s not that those energies don’t want to cause riots, their instinct is to use the spirit of the main body to destroy everything unscrupulously. It's just because of Maka's soul magic that Helen's soul has also become unstable. The restless energy has no necessary support and is no longer threatening for the time being.
When the black mist surged and shrank, Helen's body reappeared in front of Maka. She fell weakly to the ground, her face looking even paler than before, and it was obvious that her spirit had been greatly impacted.
Maka glanced in her direction, coughed twice more, and then walked towards the corner of the room. Around him, the ring of runes made of ancient magic words rotated gently, adding a mysterious look to him.
This splendid chamber pot is now in a mess, but even so, the bright light is still so bright that it can blind people's eyes. If you rely on a pair of eyes to search, it will definitely be difficult to find what you want.
But why does Maka need to rely on his eyesight to find it? As early as just now, he had already sensed the obscure magic wave, which was particularly noticeable in this room full of chamber pots.
Soon, he waved his staff and moved away a stack of chamber pots stacked in the corner, revealing a floor-to-ceiling ancient mirror hidden behind it.
The arch-like bronze frame is slightly tilted, with a slightly misty mirror inlaid on it. The frame is engraved with slightly rough patterns and many small magic symbols.
Obviously, this is the goal he has been pursuing so hard - the Mirror of Erised.
It would be a lie to say that Maka didn't want to take a look at the mirror. Because he was actually quite curious, what would he see in this mirror
And now, he finally saw it.
"Hahaha... cough... hum..." After just one glance, he couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was mixed with some coughing sounds and a little helplessness.
He suddenly raised his head and glanced. On the arch at the top of the magic mirror, there was a line of clear text engraved on it: "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi".
If we turn the whole sentence upside down and break it up a little, we can easily find that the meaning of this line of text is...
"I show not your face but your heart's desire." Maka looked up at the line of letters, reading them word by word, shaking her head secretly.
If I must say it, the effect of the Mirror of Erised is indeed very wonderful. The desire it showed was also Maka's most urgent wish now, and there was nothing wrong with it.
In the mirror, he saw himself sleeping - sleeping soundly in Hogwarts Castle and in his own office.
Isn't this the scene he desires most right now
Just as Maka laughed self-deprecatingly, he tilted his head slightly and frowned slightly. If not for anything else, it was because the girl who was wilting on the ground behind him was trying her best to crawl toward him.
"You're so persistent..." Maka said, and was about to turn around, but he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, causing him to stop turning around, "Huh?"
In the corner of the mirror, the girl's figure also appeared. No, in other words, the strange energy that was transformed from the magic power of the Obscurus appeared in the mirror... in the form of black mist.
Logically speaking, this kind of magic that reflects the spirit and soul can only be viewed from one's own perspective. In other words, it is impossible to see what others see in the mirror, or the image of others.
Maka, who has done extensive research on soul magic, understands this very well.
But now, something else appeared in the image he saw. In this regard, it is obviously inconsistent with the most basic magic theory.
Obviously, this mirror does have other uses.
Maka thought for a moment and understood the reason why Snape called this girl the "key". It was obvious that this energy was the key to destroying the Mirror of Erised and opening the seal.
He no longer hesitated, and immediately waved his staff, knocking Helen out completely. Then he opened the pocket on his waist, took out the folding tent, and moved the entire Mirror of Erised inside.
There might be times when this thing would be needed, but even if it wasn't, for the sake of safety, he couldn't just leave it here.
After packing everything up, Maka cast a floating spell and brought the unconscious Helen with her. But he did not leave immediately, but pointed at the golden chamber pots that fell on the ground with his staff.
In an instant, a large number of chamber pots rose into the air under his control, spinning together and turning into a surging black mist amid the clanging sounds of collisions.
In the black mist, even those red light particles like sparks were clearly discernible, flowing rapidly between them, and they were indistinguishable from the form of the Silent One transformed by Helen.
What he has to do next is to wait for a moment - waiting for a signal to arrive.
…
More than ten minutes later, in the River Edge area of New Jersey, USA, in the secret manor where the Obscurial was located.
"...Grindelwald wants to deceive you with falsehoods! He asked this dark wizard to send a girl to Hogwarts. He wanted to let-"
Under the effect of the replay spell, Zoe showed up and wanted to tell Maka the truth she learned from the memory of the old wizard Lenny. But before she could finish her words, Grindelwald, who was far away, had already controlled Old Lennie and used a force of magic to instantly blow away Zoe's figure.
"This is not possible... How can a small replay spell reveal the truth? Sure enough, old Lennie is just an ordinary wizard... "
"Greenwald..."
"Hello, we meet again..." Grindelwald, who controlled the dark wizard Lenny, said calmly, "Although I really want to have a good chat with you. But I'm sorry... I'm not here this time There are some things that are not suitable to talk about right now..."
Just after he finished speaking, even Maka didn't have time to react, there was a sudden surge under old Lenny's skin, and then it decisively exploded into blood and debris that filled the room.
It was at this moment that the other Maka, who was on the Hogwarts Castle side, paused slightly. He knew that the mark that had been set on the old man in advance had been destroyed...
In other words, the time to take action has arrived!
He quickly cast a disillusionment spell on both himself and Helen, and then waved his staff. The black mist originally transformed by the transformation spell immediately followed his footsteps and rushed out of the Room of Requirement, with an extremely violent attitude. He rushed straight towards the school hospital.
"Ahem... It's time to call myself back at this point in time..." He said secretly in his heart as he ran forward.
