Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 211 The End of the Serpent's Eyes
"Could it be that there isn't just one blood diamond?"

Dylan silently gazed at the silver thorn ornament in the box and the blood diamond.

"Three-petaled vitex flower supporting three diamonds..."

Dylan tapped the groove on the right side with his knuckles.

Now there is only one groove, filled with blood diamond, but it lies there all alone, like a tombstone guarding the spirits of the other two things that have disappeared.

Dylan picked up the silver tray directly.

Although he guessed that there might be something similar to the blood diamond in each of the other two recesses.

But since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't be absolutely certain.

He held the silver toe in his palm.

The surrounding light and shadow were very dim.

Only the blood diamond emitted an eerie glow, a mixture of black and blood light.

The distorted shadows of the flower branches were cast on the wall, and in a daze, it looked as if countless withered hands were reaching out from the ground to grab the gems on the silver stand.

"The design is pretty good."

This thing seems to be worth studying.

Delfini carefully observed Dylan's expression.

—Even though she couldn't see it at all.

But she could clearly sense that her master seemed to be in a good mood.

This made her feel happier, even though she had stopped suffering from the unicorn curse.

Is this what it feels like to be useful?
After her, she will surely seize even more treasures and wealth for the great Karthus!

—I heard that her useless, noseless father left a considerable fortune to the Death Eaters before he died.

Delfini pondered to himself.

What use is wealth to someone who's already dead?

Why not let her take it and offer it to her great God!

"Alright, I'll accept this. You did a great job."

Dylan placed the Unicorn Blood Diamond and the Thorn Silver Holder back into the bronze box, and then closed the lid.

A flicker of fanaticism crossed Delfini's face before he lowered his head.

"I am willing to do anything to meet your needs!"

Dylan glanced at the other person.

If he didn't understand before why this girl had inexplicably become a fan of him, then...

They even imagined him as an omnipotent true god.

However, after he controlled the other person's soul and read their memories, he did have some guesses.

"Dreams are truly an interesting thing."

Delphiny brainwashed himself into becoming a follower of someone he had never even met, based solely on a few dreams.

Dylan didn't quite understand.

Of course, this is also true when considering Delfini's tragic childhood experiences.

To perceive the other person as a madman.

Then everything will make sense.

"Alright, I will place a curse on you, so that no one can get any information about me from you. You don't need to do anything. Just relax and let me control you."

Dylan's deep voice came from beneath the black cloak.

Delfini showed no hesitation or refusal.

He immediately knelt down on the ground with a "thump".

Dylan was taken aback, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily under his hood.

However, he didn't say anything, but instead raised his wand.

"Mnemosyneveil!"

Suddenly, silvery-white starlight burst forth from the tip of Dylan's wand.

Those were magical particles, like shards of diamond, meandering along the staff.

As the spell was cast.

Spiderweb-like ripples gradually spread through the air.

Those silver threads wove at high speed around Delphiny.

The kneeling figure of the other party was enveloped in a cocoon of light.

Strange incantations appeared beneath her skin, gradually climbing upwards to her brow bone.

Immediately afterwards, all the light was drawn into a point between the eyebrows.

As the last ray of light clung to Delphiny's brow bone, a faint silver glint flashed in her pupils.

that moment.

Countless fragments of memory crumbled before her eyes, only to be reshaped again.

However, it was reshaped behind an invisible mental barrier.

Those memories of Karthus, like stars sucked into a black hole, quickly collapsed into blankness in her memory.

—Apart from herself and Dylan.

No one should be allowed to access these memories that he has blocked.

Dylan used the Mnemosyne's veil on Delphine instead of the Dream Gate.

This is because the Dream Gate has not yet been further improved and upgraded by him, and it requires a long period of contact to achieve its intended effect.

Dylan naturally couldn't bring it back to Hogwarts.

He also wanted the other party to constantly help him accumulate wealth from the outside world, as well as to do things that were inconvenient for him to do himself, or that would be a waste of time.

The concealment of Mnemosyne would not be necessary.

Dylan can execute it quickly.

Especially now that there's no need to worry about other people being there.

Delfini, the target of this manipulation, opened her heart and mind completely, allowing him to do as he pleased.

Therefore, he was able to successfully cast the Mnemosyne Curse in a very short time, a spell he had already researched back when Hagrid was taken away and interrogated by the Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, the effect will be quite powerful.

—After all, so much time has passed, and he has even figured out the Gate of Dreams, so the Mnemosyne's Shelter has naturally been adjusted by him as well.

"what!"

In the last second before the spell was completed.

Intense pain assaulted Delfini's head.

The other person instantly collapsed to the ground, too weak to even kneel.

"Huh? How could this happen?"

Dylan was a little surprised.

However, after adjusting the spell, he had never used it on anyone.

—This person naturally refers to an ordinary person.

Lockhart, I don't know if he's gone crazy from being hit by the Oblivion Curse.

It seems they've even forgotten what true suffering is.

During this period in particular, Dylan experimented with many spells on the other person.

This causes the other person's pain threshold to actually increase.

Therefore, when he modified the spell and used it on Lehart, the latter did not show any strong reaction.

"However, it could also be because Lockhart has no memories left. The memories I choose to hide can be concealed among a group of memories, but if the only memory that can be hidden is also subject to a spell, then after hiding it, the other party's mind will be completely empty."

Dylan touched his chin and gently hooked his finger.

A magical force gently lifted Delphine up.

Then, healing magic rippled through Delphine's body.

After a moment, she finally regained her normal expression.

"Tsk, all my dark magic has reached the maximum level, but this healing magic, no matter how much I practice, it seems so hard to reach the maximum level?"

Dylan sighed inwardly.

As Delphine felt the magic healing her body, a strange feeling flashed through her mind.

She has never been treated before.

Those people hated her to the extreme.

It was as if she shouldn't have been born into this world at all, no matter how battered and bruised she was, or even how she had to fight with beggars for food.

In the end, everyone has to lick their own wounds.

but now……

Her master, however, showed her such pity… Delphine slowly raised her head, gazing up at the towering “god,” her eyes gradually welling up with mist.

Dylan's Legilimency made him somewhat aware of Delphiny's emotional changes.

Furthermore, after reading her memories, he understood why this girl's personality had become the way it was, and why she had chosen to believe in him.

He roughly understood what Delfini was thinking at that moment.

Dylan did not respond, but instead spoke slowly.

"leave."

Delfini was taken aback, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Master... how can I find out about you?"

“If I wish to inspire you, the Dark Mark I left on you will give you the answer.”

Dylan looked down at her.

"If your life is threatened, I will be able to sense it."

Dylan had no intention of giving the other party any means to contact him.

Heaven knows what this little girl, who seems to have completely inherited his mother Bella's crazy traits, might do that he could never have imagined.

If Old Deng discovers any trace of us then...

That would be very troublesome.

"Gather followers for me, and you will also gain my power."

Dylan raised his palm upwards.

A snake's eye appeared out of nowhere.

This is an eyeball that Dylan crafted.

Its entire body was bluish-white, its pupils were vertical slits surrounded by spiderweb-like blood vessels, and the whites of its eyes were faintly filled with turbid, misty shadows.

Something seemed to be stirring deep within it, something that looked like a snake, or perhaps a worm.

It exudes an indescribable sense of distortion.

Dylan casually tossed the snake eye at Delfini.

The latter hurriedly caught it.

"Gudu"

The eyeball landed in her hand and twitched twice.

Dylan's calm voice rang out.

"Holding it will instill an instinctive fear in others, unleash its power, and your enemies will fall into endless illusions."

Dylan casually explained, "But never underestimate your enemy, and never use its power recklessly."

This is actually an alchemical creation made by Dylan using his extraordinary ability—the Eye of the End.

His End Serpent Eye has three abilities.

The serpent's curse, the snake's language curse, and the backlash of fear.

The Serpent's Curse allows Dylan to forcibly put all snakes that approach him into a frozen state.

Enemies other than snakes will also be drawn into an illusion and subjected to overwhelming and endless fear of snake plagues if they make eye contact with him.

The Parseltongue curse allows him to transform Parseltongue into chapters from the Worms Apocalypse.

The Worm Apocalypse is also a magical book that lies between reality and fantasy.

This book has the power to cause severe mental pollution in others.

As for the backlash of fear, it was purely to enhance the effect of his Serpent's Curse.

If it were just the backlash from the Serpent's Curse, Dylan might not have been able to apply this property to alchemical creations, but with the Serpent's Curse, it's a different story.

Because the Worm Apocalypse is a book that Dylan can summon directly.

It has a physical form.

Dylan naturally had an easy way of figuring out how to transfer those characteristics to his creations.

This snake eye was an alchemical creation made by him after he specially removed the eyeball of a snake and then used the special abilities of the End Serpent Eye.

—This can also be considered one of his recent research results.

Originally, he just wanted to see if he could extract the characteristics from him and turn them into physical objects that could be mass-produced.

Ultimately, some results were achieved.

But it's not exactly perfect either.

Because the snake eye he created wasn't made by killing a snake.

—Instead, hundreds or thousands were killed!
Fortunately, his pet space world can spontaneously promote the reproduction of creatures.

To prevent a species from going extinct due to Dylan's actions.

This led to the collapse of the entire ecosystem.

Having gone through so much, Dylan still has to express his feelings.

He really got his money's worth with those Galleons!
It was definitely worth the money!
It saved him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, and more importantly...

Although his pet world initially had a relatively simple ecosystem, consisting of only some very ordinary creatures.

But after Dylan's last visit to the flower and bird market...

He also discovered something.

That is, the creatures he brings into the world of pets can play a role in the entire ecological process.

Then it will be included in the world's records.

Then it spontaneously conceives!
Of course, becoming a member of the food chain is not an easy thing to do.

Therefore, if they cannot integrate into the ecosystem, they will also be ostracized by the world.

It has become an "invasive species".

The general form of expression is as follows:

If a creature is too powerful, it will be suppressed by a stronger creature to prevent the other from hunting too many weaker creatures.

If a creature is in a weaker position, a stronger creature will simply ignore it.

In short, the basic idea is...

Even if you're strong, don't act tough.

If you're weak, then just try to survive.

After all, they are creatures brought by the masters of the world.

It wouldn't be good to just destroy it completely.

But it's impossible to have too many of these creatures.

So unless Dylan himself creates a complete food chain from the creatures he brings into the world.

We won't even talk about perfection; we just need to make it blend into the overall ecosystem in a way that's roughly acceptable.

Then his pet space will automatically adapt.

Of course, for a creature like a snake, its world will produce itself.

Moreover, snakes often have multiple offspring.

Dylan found it much easier to use.

"What a powerful force..."

Delphin felt the snake's eye in his hand.

She could sense that the eyeball was emitting an extremely strong mental interference.

If she uses magic to activate it.

She will definitely make those who try to attack her suffer a great loss!

Delphine held the snake's eye in his hands.

When he looked up, his eyes were filled with awe and gratitude as he gazed at Dylan.

Her voice trembled slightly, yet it conveyed utmost devotion.

"Thank you for your grace, I will use it to protect your absolute will!"

Dylan gave a cold laugh.

"I don't expect you to bring me any big surprises. Just gather all the treasures and wealth you've collected with Bojin, and I'll go and get them."

"As ordered!"

Delphiny listened to Dylan's distrustful words.

Her eyes dimmed.

But even greater determination welled up within me.

She will prove it to her master.

She will be the most qualified believer!
