Chapter 409: The Worst Case (Second Update)
The only way to split a soul is to "murder...... In this way, the fragmented soul fragments can enter the Horcrux.
Astoria Greengrass is also well aware of this.
The two sat inside the house and waited, but Astoria insisted on keeping Jon at arm's length.
They waited quietly, and the minutes and seconds passed, and it was almost over......
If it's outside, it's probably already dark.
The emerald green liquid on Astoria's body also faded a lot......
It's time!
......
Jon raised his wand and aimed it at his suitcase.
He used the "Hover Charm" to make the suitcase float in the air little by little.
At the same time, the Room of Request is expanding rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye...... until it expanded into a large open field.
At the same time, a behemoth squeezed out of Jon's suitcase like a poultry...... Then he fell hard to the ground.
A giant...... A female giant, to be exact...... It is at least twenty feet tall, and its hideous face stands out...... However, the giant's eyes were closed and unconscious, and its limbs were firmly bound by ropes.
"It's ......," Astoria said, a little surprised.
"She's one of the culprits responsible for the 'West Coast Massacre', and the Ministry of Magic has already sentenced her to death...... "Jon replied calmly, "but I found an excuse to bring it out...... The Giant's soul strength is stronger than that of the Wizard, so it should be better to use than the Death Eaters...... When the time comes, I'll return the body to the Ministry of Magic, and there will be no problem. ”
"But don't worry...... It won't wake up easily. Jon then added, "I've given it a lot of Living Hell Potion, and now it's going to have to sleep for at least a few days!"
"I need ...... Kill it...... Really......" Astoria muttered.
"Hmm!" Jon nodded.
......
Astoria looked a little hesitant, and she hesitated for a long time before slowly raising her wand at the giant.
However, after holding her wand for a long time, she didn't know what spell to use.
Jon rummaged through his pocket, then handed the gadget into Astoria's hand.
Is that PSM pistol...... THIS KIND OF LIGHT PISTOL, WHICH IS THE SIZE OF THE PALM AND WEIGHS NO MORE THAN 0.5 KG, CAN BE USED EVEN BY A FIFTEEN OR SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL LIKE ASTORIA, WHO HAS LITTLE STRENGTH.
"This thing is ......," Astoria looked at the pistol curiously.
Jon was on the sidelines, teaching her how to load bullets and how to aim......
"Aim for the back of the giant's head...... Be hard!" Jon finally admonished, and he pulled out his wand just in case.
Astoria raised her pistol, remembering Jon's instructions, and gently pulled the trigger—
"Bang, bang, bang!"
She fired three shots in succession, and the giant's brain stem was immediately pierced by bullets and then soaked in blood.
I saw the giant wake up, and it struggled and tried to get up from the ground...... However, its limbs were firmly bound by the Aurors with ropes, and it could not move at all.
It barely struggled in the Room of Requirement for a minute or two before falling to the ground completely......
It's dead!
Astoria seemed frightened, and she dropped the pistol to the ground after firing the shot, and her whole face became slightly distorted.
It wasn't until Jon used the Levitation Charm to retract the giant's body in his suitcase that Astoria barely got better.
......
"How's that...... How do you feel now?" asked Jon with a grim face as he retrieved the giant's corpse.
"I just feel ...... It's so uncomfortable......" Astoria's face darkened with pain, and her voice became hoarse.
With this killing, the split of the soul has also begun!
Jon tried to walk over and hold her hand.
was freed by Astoria......
The girl ran alone to the corner of the room where she was answered, clutching the locket in her hand...... A "Horcrux" that Jon helped her make.
"Ah...... It hurts...... Jon, don't come here......" screams rang out of her mouth from time to time.
Jon stood silently ten yards away from her, watching her silently...... When the soul splits, the wizard will suffer greatly, which is very clear in that book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Magic".
And now, I've done everything I can......
I can't help myself, and all that's left is Astoria herself.
Hopefully she can defeat the soul of that monster inside her.
"Come on!" Jon whispered, "drive that monster's soul into the Horcrux...... Come on...... I believe in you, you can!"
......
The breath in the air suddenly became gloomy and cold.
The look of pain on the girl's face was disappearing little by little...... However, she also appears to have lost consciousness.
"Did it work?" Jon thought to himself.
But soon, his face changed suddenly!
Wrong...... Something is not right......
The aura emanating from Astoria's body was waning, and she no longer seemed to be the girl she was familiar with...... Or rather, she seemed to have completely transformed into a strange creature......
Meanwhile...... The aura of that girl could only be sensed from the Horcrux in her hand.
Jon's face turned pale.
Damn, this is the worst-case scenario!
The prerequisite for successfully separating the Blood Curse soul with a Horcrux is that Astoria's own soul must be stronger than the Blood Curse soul...... In this way, after smoothing the soul and making a gap between the two souls, the blood curse soul can be squeezed into the Horcrux.
And now the situation seems to be ...... The Blood Curse broke out earlier than he imagined, and the Blood Curse developed faster than he imagined......
In such a short period of time, the strength of the Blood Curse Soul was already stronger than Astoria's own soul, so it was not the Blood Curse Soul that was squeezed into the Horcrux, but her own soul......
If this continues, in a few moments, the monster will completely take over Astoria's body.
At that point, it's all over!
"Damn...... What are I going to do?"
Jon raised his wand tremblingly.
The only thing he could think of was to destroy the Horcrux now, so that he could stop the Blood Curse Soul......
But if you do that, the part of Astoria's soul that has already entered the Horcrux will also be destroyed by itself......
Having lost a part of her soul and her vitality was greatly damaged, she was even more unable to fight against the blood curse soul......
What to do?
What to do?
