After returning to his room, Ios waved his wand, and a powerful protective magic enveloped the room, and for the next period of time, there were no wizards in the school who could trespass except Dumbledore.

After the corresponding measures were done, Ios slowly opened the wooden box.

The ring just lay quietly in it, so quiet that it didn't look like Voldemort's Horcrux, or was the soul fragment inside sleeping too long and stupid?

If this is just a simple Horcrux, there are many ways for Ios to concoct it, and the easiest way is to burn it with a fierce fire to turn it into black scum.

However, if you do that, there is no guarantee that the Resurrection Stone will not be affected, so what if it is also destroyed?

And, unlike other Horcruxes, it seems to have abandoned its demagogic abilities in favor of powerful dark magic, the Curse.

Now the key is how to remove the curse and destroy the Horcrux without destroying the Resurrection Stone.

Iosmo rubbed his chin and stared at the ring. It stands to reason that the Horcrux has soul fragments stored in it, so it should be regarded as a conscious artifact, and the diary is even more playful, so will it be afraid?

The answer is yes, wasn't the locket still dying when they found out that they were going to be destroyed, which is enough to prove that they also have corresponding feelings, although they may be false feelings.

However, if you have feelings and wisdom, you can use it.

He stretched out his right hand and called in his heart, and in an instant, a silver light appeared from the palm of his hand, quickly stretched and lengthened, and changed into a spear with silver light.

With a flip of his wrist, Ios, who was holding the spear upside down, approached the ring, and the tip of the spear slowly moved towards the ring.

At this time, the ring seemed to sense its own crisis, trembled slightly, and a trace of black qi overflowed from the ring's body, turning into a black pillar of smoke in an instant, and it had a tendency to fill the entire room.

But as Ios swung the silver spear, the black smoke was trapped in an invisible shroud, and no matter how much they rolled, they could only smash around in it, and there was no way to escape from it.

However, seeing that they couldn't get close to Ios and showed signs of retracting into the ring, he had to weaken the barrier so that they could get out of the cage through their own 'efforts'.

The black mist that had finally left the cage immediately surged in the direction of Ios, and the black mist at the front of it also changed into the image of a skull halfway through, maybe it thought it would be more imposing in this way? Or was Voldemort's soul at work, causing the black mist to move closer to his image?

Seeing that all the black mist had left the ring, Ios stopped keeping his hand. Surging blue flames surrounded him, firmly resisting the attack of the black mist.

The two were evenly matched at first, and even the Black Mist was a little stronger, but as time went on, the unreplenished Black Mist gradually began to show signs of decline, so much so that they seemed to want to give up on the curse of Ios and retreat into the ring.

But if Ios bothered to lure it out, why would he let it go back?

The blue flame instantly enveloped all the black mist, forming a cage of flames, and with his mind, the fire instantly intensified, only to hear a terrible scream, and the black mist in the flame cage completely disappeared.

The ring placed in the wooden box also cracked at the same time, and as a Horcrux, the soul inside destroyed it and could not remain intact.

By the time Ios walked over to the wooden box, the ring was completely unresponsive. However, this did not completely reassure him, who knows if it was a trap or not.

"Boom!"

Ios didn't think about whether the Horcrux had been successfully destroyed, and directly cut the ring ring in half with the blade of the gun, so that he didn't have to worry about it.

Seeing that the ring did not react, it seemed that it was indeed a success.

Well... Did this save Dumbledore's life?

If Dumbledore had lived for a long time, the original trajectory of fate would have changed drastically, but Ios was indifferent to this, and he was invincible anyway.

This is the surplus of the strong.

Removing the Resurrection Stone from the ring, Ios carefully examined the black stone.

"No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary stone, and no one will pick it up if it doesn't have the symbol of this deathly artifact." No matter how much he checked, Ios found no trace of magic from the stone.

It stands to reason that this proves that this is an ordinary stone, after all, the creation of magic should have some traces of magic. Unless the magic item has expired and has become a normal item.

In that case, it is indeed possible that the traces of magic will disappear after the baptism of time.

But, this stone—

Iosmo rubbed the stone and spun it in his hand three times, and an illusory figure that was neither like a living person but much more real than a ghost suddenly appeared in the room, right in front of him.

He let go of the Resurrection Stone, letting it fall into the box, and the figure vanished.

However, Ios could see very clearly, it was Cedric Diggory, who had been killed by Voldemort.

"It's a resurrection stone, but there's no trace of magic...... Isn't this an explanation... Is it really not a product of magic? As the legend goes, it was one of the gifts that the Grim Reaper gave to the three Peverell brothers! ”

Ios whispered his speculation, too light to be heard, but his eyes were full of intense emotion.

Ever since he thought of the legend of the Deathly Hallows, he had regarded these three Deathly Hallows as the greatest and most important harvest that could be achieved in this world, a signpost and a guide that could open another path for him.

When he first confirmed his thoughts today, his excitement was completely understandable, and it was the joy of the long-awaited hope for the light of day.

Soon, he calmed down, his conjecture had not yet been fully confirmed, and it was too early to rejoice.

And—

"And even if this resurrection stone really comes from the hand of the god of death, it's hard to say whether it contains divine power or divinity." Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

If it's divinity, then it's earned, and it can help the body to open up new life forms. But if it's divine power, at most, it's just one more new ability, and it's not worth much.

Which one is it?

After a moment's hesitation, Ios unleashed his spiritual power and probed into the interior of the resurrection stone.

His consciousness was like shuttling through an endless abyss of darkness, unable to see a ray of light, and this darkness was constantly repelling him.

Finally, in this darkness where time and space could not be felt, he 'saw' a ray of light.
