Chapter 562: Rescue (II)
"Alright, you stand here and keep him alive, and I'll take care of the rest. Ryan motioned for Hermione to stand where he had just stood, and soon wisps of blood-colored mist began to appear between Hermione's hands, which then spread to the boy's body.
"Okay, I can promise to keep this kid alive in the process, and it's up to you to do the rest. After those blood-colored mist completely enveloped the child lying in the center of the alchemy, it began to flicker like a heartbeat. Seeing this, Hermione turned her head and signaled to Ryan that she could do it now.
Ryan drew his wand and dotted it in mid-air, activating one energy node after another on the alchemy array. When he activated all the energy nodes, the energy on the entire alchemy array was connected into a whole in the agitation. Soon a large number of red points of light appeared on the boy's body, and these points of light slowly rose in the magic surge. Finally, a blood-red werewolf roared in the sky above the alchemy array.
The werewolf seemed to be very irritable, and as soon as it took shape, it began to try to break the alchemy circle that imprisoned it. Ryan knew that this werewolf represented the werewolf toxin in the little boy's body, and only by completely taming it could the child turn the corner.
"The only constant in the world is change itself. After reciting this incantation in Latin with gestures, a large amount of magic power mixed with a trace of the rules of alchemy poured into the magic array, and the golden mist shrouded in the magic array began to slowly condense, turning into vines full of spikes, like the blood-colored werewolf figure in mid-air.
The werewolf figure began to struggle desperately, and the child in the center of the alchemy circle also spasmed violently like a dehydrated fish with the phantom's struggle. Thankfully, with the help of the blood-colored mist released by Hermione, the child was held in place. At the same time, the energy on the alchemy array was also transformed into a life force through the blood-colored mist, and it was infused into his body.
"Life and death, in the blink of an eye. After discovering that the Scarlet Werewolf's struggles were causing the child's life to drain quickly, Hermione also chanted a spell. As her words fell, the blood-colored mist that wrapped around the child's body slowly swirled, and finally formed an alchemy array-sized vortex, which suddenly increased the efficiency of transforming magic into life force. It just makes up for the rapid loss of this child's previous vitality.
Because of the replenishment of vitality, the child stopped spasming and quieted down. At the same time, with Hermione's magic, the child's vital signs are slowly returning to normal. In this way, Ryan eliminated his worries and could use all his strength to transform the werewolf toxin.
Since the process of converting humans into werewolves is irreversible, Ryan's current treatment plan is to convert a certain amount of werewolf toxins that have been integrated into the human body in the child's body until the new werewolf toxicity reaches that threshold and he becomes a new werewolf. After that, the powerful vitality of the werewolf itself that has been successfully transformed is used to completely repair the body.
The reason why St. Mungo thought that this child could not be saved was that as a biological toxin, werewolf toxin would quickly integrate into the human body after entering the human body, prompting the human to transform into a werewolf, and at the same time harming the body.
Under normal circumstances, it would only make people turn into werewolves after some pain, but this child was too badly injured before, so he couldn't stop the werewolf virus when he was physically injured. And because the werewolf virus has been mixed with the child's vitality, whether it is using spells or potions to treat the child, it is to replenish the power of the werewolf virus while treating the child, which is why the healers of St. Mungo's before could not do anything about the wounds on the child's body.
And now Ryan's alchemy array has successfully used the alchemy rules to separate the part of the child related to the werewolf and the part of the life force, so that he can change the part related to the werewolf without harming the child himself.
The rest was no different from the previous treatment, with the help of Hermione's magic. Ryan can take his focus away from maintaining such a small life and devote all his energy to the transformation of the new werewolf.
Having lost its life force as a backing, the werewolf toxin soon showed its decline. The werewolf phantom on the alchemy array was completely entangled by the golden vines into something like a cocoon, and then the thorns on the golden vines pierced deeply into the werewolf's body. In the process, the isolated werewolf virus can only make some weak resistance.
After a few minutes, the golden vine cocoon began to slowly melt, and then little by little, it collapsed inward. When all the golden vines turned into cocoons disappeared, a golden four-legged phantom floated on the alchemy circle instead of the previous scarlet werewolf phantom.
This is the image of a golden gray wolf cub, which looks very cute. After this phantom ran around the alchemy array as if it were happy, it dispersed into dots of golden light and merged into the body of the child lying in the center of the alchemy array.
"He's alive now. Hermione's voice was immediately heard with some joy from the side. Ryan turned his gaze to the little boy. Sure enough, the wounds on the child's body were slowly converging and disappearing, and Hermione was letting the blood-colored mist dissipate little by little.
"His vitality is being restored, and it's stronger than before. I don't need any extra help anymore. Hermione explained, then asked in a curious tone, "Why did he absorb the magic of the alchemy circle to heal himself, is it because of us?"
"No, werewolves themselves are like that. Ryan said in a slightly envious tone. "They are a type of magical creature, and as such, like many magical creatures, can heal themselves by absorbing magical power. Considering that Professor Lupin didn't have a wolf poison potion when he was younger, he would definitely hurt himself if he was locked up in a screaming shack and struggling wildly in that situation. But he was just a little tired the next day, and he didn't leave many wounds. β
"Then why don't we have any of these things in our textbooks?" asked Hermione, turning her head after Lane had magically moved the child back to the bed after he had confirmed that the injured man was okay.
"Because wizards have always regarded werewolves as enemies, filthy creatures. So the record of werewolves focuses on how to identify them, and even kill them. This kind of simple recording of werewolf physiological characteristics is not the focus, so not many people are willing to record them. I only found out about this after treating Lupin. Ryan shrugged his shoulders as he said this, and then half-knelt there and began to disassemble the alchemy array piece by piece and put it back into the space bag, with Hermione also helping him.
When everything was cleaned up, Ryan informed Lupin downstairs. Soon, the door slammed open at the sound of a staircase, and the Montgomeries rushed to the bed like a whirlwind. In the midst of their calling, their son finally opened his eyes.
However, because of the severity of the previous injuries and the fact that he was tired now, the little boy only said a few words and went back to sleep. So the six of them quickly quietly exited the bedroom, closed the door, and went downstairs to the living room together.
"Thank you so much, thank you so muchβ" Mrs. Montgomery whimpered as she shook hands with Ryan and Hermione as she entered the living room. Mr. Montgomery next to him looked at the two men with the same grateful.
"This is what we should do, and we are happy to have saved an innocent life. Ryan reassured. It took a few minutes for Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery to calm down a little, after which Mrs. Montgomery prepared dinner for everyone, while Mr. Montgomery remained in the drawing-room to talk to them.
During the discussion, Ryan learns that Madame Montgomery works in the immigration department of the Ministry of Magic, and that this time her youngest son was bitten by a werewolf because she had refused a Death Eater's request that she turn a blind eye to certain people and objects from southern Europe. So the Death Eaters used this to scare the monkeys, warning the Ministry of Magic staff not to get in their way.
"This time it was Fenrir Greyback, the man who bit me. Lupin spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something that had happened to someone else. "He is an evil madman who loves to attack children. He bites 1/3 of the people on our plantation. Also, he seems to be the so-called natural werewolf, who can also have a certain self-awareness in the werewolf state. And this time he came to bite people should have the idea of intimidating others, otherwise he would not bite others to death with his habits. β
"Using the Imperius Curse to control children, using werewolves to kill children, I really don't know what evil this Death Eater will do next. Hermione's voice sharpened as she said this, and she could tell how angry she was now.
"So that's why we're fighting them. Ryan put his hand on Hermione's shoulder and said. "I wish there were no more innocent people being harmed. β
