With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

This also includes the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors for the next few years.

Entering the dull and quiet library, Levin found Mrs. Pince.

"Gidero Lockhart?"

She glanced at it suspiciously and took the note from Levin's hand.

But she didn't let him pass immediately. Instead, she said earnestly, "Most of the books in the forbidden section are not suitable for a little wizard like you."

Faced with Mrs. Pince's dissuasion, Levin could only offer a sincere smile while silently maximizing the [Charm] effect: "It's actually because Professor Lockhart thought my performance was better than the other young wizards in Defense Against the Dark Arts, so he gave me some extra help... trying to teach me some things outside the textbook."

The content.

Here, Levin played a word game.

At the same time, she secretly prayed that Mrs. Pince was also a fan of Professor Gilderoy Lockhart's books.

After hearing his words, Mrs. Pince looked at the signature in her hand again.

Although he didn't show any expression on his face, Levin's mental abilities could detect that the other person was feeling a sense of joy.

Goodness, they've been hiding it really well.

Indeed, Professor Lockhart is a friend to middle-aged and elderly women.

Mrs. Pince clicked open the bars of the restricted section.

Levin went inside and saw a dozen or so low bookshelves.

Compared to those bookshelves outside that stretch from floor to ceiling, six or seven meters high,

The bookshelves in the restricted section were only a little over two meters high, which was really not worth mentioning.

However, the difference in the rarity and value of the books is quite obvious.

None of the books in the restricted section were simple.

Levin could see that many books on the bookshelf were not simply placed there, but were physically bound and sealed with chains and ropes.

Some books only have seals on the outside, but upon closer inspection, you can tell that the seals are engraved with ancient magical script.

Of course, not every book in the restricted section is dangerous enough to warrant closure.

However, if you look through the book with [Detection Magic], you'll find that almost every book here is radiating magical light.

This is why most genuine magic books are unique copies.

Some knowledge itself contains power.

The most extreme examples, such as the books of the Great Old Ones, can corrupt the mind simply by seeing them, causing the viewer to either go mad or become a monster.

For this kind of book, copying techniques and scholarly knowledge are ineffective; one can only obediently read it on one's own.

Levin wandered among the bookshelves, checking the titles of each book to see if it was what he needed.

*Powerful Potion*, *The Book of Spells*, *The Deadly Curse*, *The True Explanation of the Emerald Codex*, *Great Grimmore*, *The Rose of the Secret Garden*

Sure enough, each book here was more dangerous than the last.

For example, with the book "Big Grimmaul," Levin could sense the terrifying power it contained; simply opening it could devour a person's life force.

In comparison, books like "Powerful Potion" and "The True Explanation of the Jade Record," which don't even have magic, are a breath of fresh air.

This book was also locked in the restricted area because some of the potion recipes and alchemy recipes it contained were extremely dangerous.

Both in manufacturing and use, accidents can easily occur, but the book itself has no messy or chaotic power whatsoever.

When he comes across a book like this, Levin takes it out and uses the Scholar's Touch to add it to his collection first.

Levin wandered among the bookshelves for about ten minutes, and just as Mrs. Pince was getting impatient, he finally found the book he needed:

The Book of Seth

It is said that the author of this book is a spirit named "Seth" who has completed the cycle of reincarnation and lives in the formless realm. He has no physical body, but can conjure up any environment he desires at will.

Regardless of whether the subsequent self-praise is true, Levin can indeed feel a powerful spiritual energy in this book.

Based on the principle that "the contents of the spellbook are related to the power contained within it," then we'll choose that one.

Actually, the most direct way to deal with Horcruxes is to look through the magic book called "Demystifying Advanced Black Magic".

Tom Riddle found his knowledge about creating Horcruxes in this book.

Unfortunately, after Dumbledore became headmaster, he immediately moved "The Secrets of the Dark Arts" and a batch of books that he considered dangerous to the headmaster's office.

Levin was quite unhappy about this, because even Dumbledore had no right to decide which books wizards could and could not access.

But now the situation is beyond his control, so he can only look for research related to the soul.

So Levin took the thick, large book with its brown-yellow cover to Mrs. Pince.

Mrs. Pince examined the Book of Seth for a moment, then handed it back to Levin, reminding him in the process:

“Be careful, Mr. Green, this book is very strange. Everyone who has read it can’t remember what they saw… If you ask me, this is not suitable for you students.”

"Ah, thank you for reminding me, Mrs. Pince. I'll be more careful," Levin replied curtly, took the book, and quickly left the library.

He couldn't wait to read it.

But Levin didn't choose to return to his dorm or stay in the library. Instead, he found a secluded corner and used the "[Mansion Technique]" directly.

The next moment, he appeared in the demiplane.

For Levin, there was no safer place than here.

Levin went to the tower's basement and brought a rocking chair into the laboratory.

Because it's a laboratory, the walls, floors, and ceilings here have a much higher level of defense than the rooms upstairs.

Furthermore, defensive spells were cast upon it.

This is to prevent any possible accidents.

Levin held the Book of Seth up to his eyes and, upon closer inspection, noticed something moving on the cover, like a wandering spirit.

Ignoring the strange cover, he simply opened it.

In an instant, a shrill, chilling scream shattered the peaceful tranquility, the force seemingly striking straight to the soul!

It's the [Banshee's Howl]!

"[Mental Barrier]!"

Levin immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly gathered his psionic energy to create a barrier, blocking the damage aimed at Soul 660.

But this is only a temporary solution; we can't let the succubus's howl continue; we have to stop it.

"[Silence Spell]!"

This book is like someone has choked it; the shrill voice abruptly stops, not even a buzzing sound can be heard.

Now, I can finally read this book properly.

Levin gently turned the pages again. With the blessing of the [Silence] spell, the [Banshee's Howl] was no longer a threat, and he could read the contents of the book properly.

Levin discovered that the book didn't begin with a description of the soul, but rather offered abstract explanations of mysterious concepts like God, the world, and time, which at first glance seemed worthless.

The rest of the book is filled with fanatical delusions about devils, hell, and heaven, like the most insane ramblings of a religious fanatic and mentally ill person, and doesn't seem like the work of a wizard at all.

But upon closer reading, one discovers that the author's exploration of the soul is contained within.

The concepts of heaven, hell, gods, and demons are merely the author's representations of the good and evil thoughts within the soul.

Perhaps the author of this book really went mad in his exploration of the power of the soul.

But he did subconsciously record some truly essential knowledge.

The premise is that the reader can see through the layers of metaphors.

The books mentioned above, including this Seth book, either have original source material or are based on real-life prototypes.

These are all classic texts of occultism.

Chapter 112 I'm waiting for the CD, what are you waiting for?

You have read the Book of Seth, understood the nature of the soul, mastered the specialization [Soul Control], and acquired the [Necromantic Specialization]

The soul is the essence of spiritual power. Your understanding of spiritual power has deepened, and your Mind Mage level has increased by 2.

[Necromantic Specialization: You are proficient in necromancy spells. As you level up your wizard class, you will gradually learn all the core spells of the necromancy school.]

Levin sat in the recliner, feeling the power he had gained from reading the Seth Book, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Isn't this just the ability of a warlock in World of Warcraft?

Soul Control granted Levin several spells:

[Soul Tear: 1st Ring Necromancer, directly damages the soul, inflicting a weakened state.]

[Soul Drain: 2nd Circle Necromancy. Absorbs the souls of weakened living or dead to create Soul Shards, which are necessary materials for casting other spells.]

[Crafting Soulstones: 2nd Ring Necromancer. By engraving a soul mark on an object with magical affinity, you can create soul containers.]

[Soul Link: 3rd Ring Necromancer, establishes a soul link with a contracted creature, allowing the contracted creature to share the damage taken by the caster.]

[Soul Fire: 5th Ring Necromancer, ignites a flame that can only burn souls, causing terrible damage. If an enemy dies as a result, soul fragments will be created.]

[Soul Ritual: 7th Circle Necromancer, consumes Soul Fragments to construct a Soul Well, which can quickly restore the life force and mana of nearby creatures.]

Soul Stone: Capable of containing recently deceased or unclaimed souls.

Soul Fragments: Fragments composed of soul power. Soul fragments can be used to cast special spells, perform magical rituals, and make deals with demons in purgatory.

It basically covers the warlock's research on the soul in World of Warcraft.

With this set of skills, Levin can interfere with ethereal souls and become their nemesis.

Voldemort's Horcruxes are so powerful because ordinary people can't do anything about them.

But in the face of Levin, who can interfere with souls, Horcruxes are nothing but a joke.

He could easily bypass the Horcrux's magical defenses and directly attack the soul within.

In addition, these spells have other wonderful uses.
