Chapter 380: The Power of Death That Touches the Soul

"Hiss."

Andy rubbed his hands together, shivering in the cold.

The flames seemed to have no temperature at all. Even though they surrounded him, Andy still felt the cold, as if it were freezing his soul.

In fact, Andy already felt his thoughts becoming a little sluggish.

Just a moment ago, Andy's mind was full of wild thoughts, imagining countless possibilities behind the gods' disappearance. But now, the only thought in Andy's mind was 'it's cold'.

He couldn't think of anything and didn't want to think.

Andy even lost the idea of 'temporarily leaving'. It was cold, cold to the bone. But apart from the cold, Andy couldn't think of anything.

A layer of frost covered the ground.

Gradually, a layer of frost also covered Andy's body, face and hair.

The flames were still burning, but they didn't transmit any warmth.

'This won't do!'

Andy told himself, and now he had to do something, otherwise he would probably freeze to death here.

But... what?

Andy couldn't think of anything to do to deal with the crisis. His mind clearly realised that he would probably freeze to death here, but there was no sense of fear in his heart.

It was very calm.

Apart from the cold, everything seemed normal.

The wand was slightly warm, a little bit of warmth that made Andy come back to his senses a little.

But it was useless!

Andy knew he should hold the wand and cast some spells to get out of the dangerous situation, but he couldn't remember how to do it.

Andy could no longer control his body.

***

After an unknown period of time, the cold gradually subsided, Andy's body gradually regained feeling, and his mind seemed to become clearer.

"Hoo-hoo..."

Andy gasped heavily, the immense terror made Andy break out in a cold sweat.

It was just a little bit more!

I was so close to death!

Luckily...

Andy turned his head to look around.

The frost on the ground and walls had already disappeared, the flames had gone out at some point, and the Resurrection Stone was still floating in the air, but the curtains were swinging more slowly.

'Is it over?'

Andy let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what the process was like, the ending was not bad.

'I can't try to die again in the future!' Andy thought to himself.

Looking at his body, Andy noticed that the effect of the Polyjuice Potion had worn off and his clothes had returned to normal.

Thinking that he was still in the Ministry of Magic, Andy quickly took out the Polyjuice Potion and took a sip, then used the Transfiguration spell to change the appearance of his clothes.

'Right!'

Suddenly remembering something, Andy quickly checked the pocket with an undetectable extension charm.

Fortunately, the Kreacher was still there.

It didn't seem to be affected by the cold, but Andy still used an Imperius Curse on it.

As they were still in the Ministry, Andy dared not be careless again.

Taking a step forward, Andy extended his left hand, and the Resurrection Stone, as if losing its support, fell into Andy's hand.

"Hmm..."

'I can't see any changes.'

Andy was a little helpless. He didn't have any deceased relatives or friends, so the Resurrection Stone's ability was useless to him.

Moreover, this was not the time to examine the Resurrection Stone.

This stone could also expose Andy's identity.

Andy put the Resurrection Stone away and moved around a little to stretch his slightly stiff body.

It took a while for Andy to recover.

'That feeling is very similar to the Imperius Curse,'

Andy recalled. 'Not only the body, but the coldness even froze the soul. Unable to think, unable to control the body...'

To be honest, that feeling is a bit scary!

'Is that the power of death?'

Death...

Andy was a little excited!

Voldemort had experienced several dark magic transfigurations.

The Dumbledore family had stolen the power of the Phoenix.

The Trelawney family were suspected of stealing the power of the Sun God.

Along with the Black family, who were suspected of stealing the power of stars.

There was no doubt that magic transfiguration had once been popular in the wizarding world, and many wizards had gained great power through it.

Even the legendary Merlin was a hybrid of a human and a magical creature.

'What if I use the power of death to transform?'

Andy had already felt the power of death.

It was a terrifying power that touched the soul, and it could make you lose the ability to think and lose control of your body. When it came, you couldn't even feel fear.

It was as if emotions were also frozen.

Death is the destination of all things in the universe!

Not only does life lead to death, but planets and even the universe have their own lifespan.

The most important thing is...

Andy looked up at the archway and the curtain in front of him.

Behind the curtain was the power of death, the place where the souls of all the dead went.

'Whether it's the ghosts in the real world or the undead in the world behind the curtain...they exist!'

Souls can live forever!

This is what really got Andy excited!

'Maybe using the power of death for magic transformations can let me glimpse the secrets of souls.'

Andy opened the system panel.

[Soul: 4]

After getting the [Talent Point System] for so long, the [Soul] talent was the only attribute Andy had never improved.

'If I use the power of death to perform magic transfiguration, perhaps I should improve the [Soul] talent.'

The basis of magic transfiguration [Transfiguration].

The [Will] attribute that counteracts the side effects of magic transfiguration.

And...the [Soul] attribute that may come into contact with the power of death.

At this moment, Andy was not just excited, he was even feeling a little giddy.

'It can be done!'

'We can use the power of the Resurrection Stone!'

Andy thought, a little crazily: 'Use the potion to channel the power of the Resurrection Stone. Then use magic transfiguration to steal the power of death!'

This method of dark magic transfiguration was in the Slytherin manuscript.

'Phew,'

Andy calmed his excited heart for a moment and looked around the stone room.

It was time to leave.

Next, Andy planned to go to the office of the Department of Mysteries. If possible, Andy also wanted to find the Department of Mysteries' data storage room.

That was the real treasure!

It contained the research results of countless predecessors.

Walking up the stone steps, Andy arrived at the black door, pushed open the door, and returned to the original circular room.

Andy: "!"

"Who are you?" Scrimgeour had not expected to encounter the Dark Wizard who had infiltrated the Ministry of Magic so soon after their arrival in the Department of Mysteries.

He might be a Death Eater!

Scrimgeour raised his wand at once, but he did not strike immediately.

The fireplace in the Ministry of Magic had been closed, and it is impossible to use Apparition here. This place also was surrounded by his people.

There was no escape for the guy in front of him!

So...while he still felt there was hope, Scrimgeour planned to take the opportunity to gain more information.

Why did he come to the Department of Mysteries?
