Chapter 69 If I have to have a patron saint, I choose myself! The words that were whispered softly in his mind instantly stirred up a storm of holy magic around Charles. The Patronus Charm, an ancient and powerful sacred magic, is something that most wizards in the magical world cannot even master in their lifetime. But now it is taking root in Ciel's mind at an astonishing speed and bearing abundant fruit. In a short while, the current version of the Patronus Charm in the wizarding world had become Ciel's instinct. Waving the mithril wand, Charles chanted the Patronus Charm. "Call the gods to protect you." At this moment, Charles was thinking about the happy times he had in R'lyeh. The green sun, black ocean and beach made him so happy. The Patronus Charm, which requires kindness and happy emotions, was successfully cast by Charles without any surprise. A silver-white strange beast gushed out from the tip of Charles's wand. When he saw this strange beast, Charles frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.
"What the hell is this?" This strange beast has a human face and a sheep's body, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth and human claws. At first glance, it doesn't look like a good creature, and is completely different from the patron saint in the original book that Charles had seen. If he had to describe it, Charles felt that it was like the Taotie in the legend of his previous life, symbolizing an insatiable appetite. "According to the records of the magic world, the Patronus Charm reflects the inner state of the caster." "For example, Snape's patronus is a stag, the same as Lily's, which represents his everlasting love for Lily." "Dumbledore's patronus is the phoenix, which symbolizes purity and life, as well as Dumbledore's determination to fight evil." "But my patronus is Taotie? What does that mean? Does it mean that I am greedy?" Charles' frown deepened. "Slander! Isn't this pure slander?" "I just eat a little more than others. I'm still a child, still growing. It's normal to eat more. How can it be related to Taotie?" But after a moment, Charles' frown relaxed a little. The deduction is still ongoing, let's wait and see, perhaps there will be changes. At the same time, in the Deep Blue System, the deduction of the Patronus Spell was still proceeding at a terrifying frequency. Every minute and every second is equivalent to the life-long efforts of countless talented wizards. What followed was an almost miraculous improvement in the ancient Patronus Charm. The first is the significant relaxation of the casting conditions. Ciel had always been critical of the casting conditions of the Patronus Charm since his previous life. Generally speaking, when releasing the Patronus Charm, one encounters dark creatures such as Dementors. Most of these creatures can affect people's emotions and make them feel negative and pessimistic. I was already under the influence of the enemy, and the only spell that could effectively fight the enemy was to remain optimistic.
This is too harsh. Even though Harry Potter in the original book had practiced the Patronus, he still found it difficult to successfully release it when facing Dementors in the first few actual combat situations. Even in the seventh year of school in the original book, Harry Potter had grown a lot. However, when facing a large group of Dementors, it is very difficult to cast a spell successfully without the help of companions. Although he could understand that the magic in this world was more idealistic and had high requirements on one's mentality, Charles could not accept such uncontrollable casting conditions at all. What if he took a potion that could keep a cool head and clear mind in order to enhance his combat capabilities, thus significantly reducing his mood swings, or if his consciousness began to fade after being injured, would he no longer be able to use this spell? Therefore, the first miracle created by the Patronus Charm was the elimination of the psychological demand for positivity and happiness. Although the price is an increase in the magic strength requirement for the caster, in Charles' opinion, spellcasting stability is above all else, and the price is completely worth it. Next comes another aspect of the Patronus Charm that was criticized by Ciel. This thing is purely for protecting itself and expelling dark creatures. Even though the Patronus' power far exceeds that of ordinary dark creatures and lone Dementors, it can only drive them away but cannot destroy them. In the third year of the original book, during the Hogwarts Quidditch game, a large number of Dementors appeared on the sidelines, causing great panic. Dumbledore summoned his own Patronus in anger, and a huge phoenix made a magnificent appearance, but even Dumbledore's Patronus could only drive away the Dementors. In Charles' opinion, this is still too gentle. Do you understand that we must eradicate all evil? I don't know who first developed the Patronus Charm, it's too pedantic. You must know that killing is to protect the Tao, and eliminating karma does not mean killing people. Eliminating darkness is the best protection! Therefore, under Deep Blue's deduction, the Patronus Spell changed a second time. It was no longer just to expel the dark creatures, but to destroy them! The gluttonous guardian god summoned by Charles had a cold and fierce light in his silver-white eyes, revealing his vicious nature. If there were any dark creatures in front of him, the Taotie Guardian God would probably eat them alive! When Charles looked at the Taotie guardian god, he felt that he liked it a lot more. "But it's not enough." "How can such a weak divine magic power destroy the darkness?" "And this size, how big is it? If you encounter a powerful dark creature, are you going to go up and gnaw on its feet?" "Deep Blue, increase the power to its maximum and increase the size to its maximum!" Following Ciel's words, Deep Blue continued to deduce at a very fast speed. To make such a huge change to the ancient Patronus Charm is like directly replacing a spell. Any wizard would be overwhelmed when seeing such a project. But in Deep Blue, as long as the deduction points are enough, every second is a miracle! In an instant, the silver-white magic power on the surface of the Taotie Guardian God turned into the same platinum magic power that Charles had used when he released the Holy Kingdom Spell. Cold, sacred, indifferent, like the edge of a sword! Not only that, the body of the Taotie guardian god, which was originally less than two people tall, began to expand continuously.
Three meters, five meters, ten meters... It grew to a full fifteen meters high, much larger than the ancient Sharl dragon form, before the Taotie guardian god stopped growing. But now, its body is glowing with platinum light, and huge muscles are bulging. The sharp claws and teeth are as sharp as swords, spears and halberds. No matter what dark creature appears in front of this patron saint, whether it is a werewolf, a vampire, or a Dementor, it will probably be trampled into pieces in the next second and then eaten cleanly! Logically speaking, the deduction to this point has barely met Charles' psychological expectations. The next step is to try to cast the Holy Kingdom Spell and the transformed Patronus Spell at the same time. But Charles did not move for a long time. Instead, he looked hesitant as he looked at the mighty and majestic Taotie guardian god in front of him. Can this really represent one’s inner self? "Is it just greed?" After a moment, Ciel shook his head and raised his wand. "I am not satisfied with this patronus." "I have devoured countless things, not because I am simply greedy, but because I don't believe in anything in this world." "Love, friendship, peace, justice? I don't believe in any of them." "Dumbledore? Voldemort? Grindelwald? I don't feel safe with any of them." “Even if he kneels down to the so-called Old Ones like Dark and enters the sublime level, I still don’t think he is reliable.” "The only person I can trust in this world is myself. Grabbing everything and strengthening myself is my creed." "For this reason, peace or war, justice or evil, as long as it is beneficial to me, I will do whatever it takes." "Even if it destroys the so-called original plot and the original destiny, so what?" "I don't believe in these things, I don't believe in fate, I only believe in myself." Ciel's wand pointed at the patron saint of Taotie. "As for you, Taotie Guardian God, I also don't believe you. How can a ferocious beast from the legend of the previous life become my guardian god, and how can it protect me?" "If I have to have a patron saint, I choose myself!" The four updates together have already totaled 10,000 words, and the next ones will be additional updates. If I am in good health in the future, I will guarantee to write 10,000 words every day, and update more depending on my health. Thank you all readers for your support. (End of this chapter)
