Chapter 45

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The sharp explosions rang out again as Abel spun from the circle and disappeared, only to reappear in another circle while still rotating.

Glancing at the nail that had vanished from his left index finger, Abel placed his wand in his left hand, and faint purple smoke rose. The nail on his left hand returned to its normal appearance.

"Master Abel, I think you should stop and rest."

With a sigh, Abel nodded. As the Ancient One said, he was indeed feeling a bit fatigued. He had split five or six times, and it was starting to take a toll on him. In his current state, it wasn't suitable to continue practicing Apparition.

He sat on a futon at the side of the practice field, closed his eyes, and began to meditate using Kamar Taj's meditation method to recover the energy he had expended.

Kamar Taj's meditation method isn't a secret; it's a basic technique that accelerates the recovery of consumed energy, clarifies the mind, and alleviates restlessness. It's essentially a compulsory practice for beginners in magic.

About half an hour later, Abel opened his eyes and addressed the Ancient One, who stood nearby, seemingly lost in thought. "Ancient One, thank you very much."

She turned around, smiling. "The magic you practiced just now is on the right track, right?"

Abel nodded and replied, "I performed Apparition 37 times, with 13 splits. Six of those splits were serious when I first started practicing, but as I continued, the number of splits decreased, and their severity diminished as well. Most of the splits are now the size of a finger or nail, and I should be fine with more practice."

"That's good to hear. But when you came to me earlier, you mentioned wanting to try two types of magic. Now that this first one is on the right track, what is the second magic?"

"There isn't a specific record of the effects of this magic, but I have a vague sense of its impact. I'd like to ask the Ancient One to help me discern what effects this magic possesses."

"The effects of magic?"

"Yes. This magic is similar to releasing a unique energy. If you can understand the effects of these energies, you can generally deduce the effects of the magic."

"Okay, I'll give it a try, but I can't exhaust all the magic in this world."

"That's fine; it's just an experiment anyway."

Taking a deep breath, Abel closed his eyes and began to recall various happy memories from his travels. A smile appeared on his face as he waved his wand slightly, causing a cloud of silver-white mist to spray from the tip. The mist danced around Abel's body, gathering and dispersing.

"Epecto Patronum!"

Seeing the light mist, the Ancient One didn't hesitate. She immediately reached out and grabbed a ray of the silver-white mist, studying its composition and function.

"Unbelievable… This is holy, purifying, guarding, and repelling all evil and dark powers. This pure positive force is the natural enemy of all negative forces. Dark magic, voodoo, curses, evil auras, and ghosts cannot escape in the face of this power and will be severely impacted.

This is the purest form of white magic. Although the power is not enormous, the quality of the power is exceptionally high. It's no wonder some magicians say that truly powerful magic comes from the heart of people. Mage Abel, your magic is perfect!"

In his previous life, the Patronus did not possess such powerful abilities, and the quality of its power was far inferior. However, after the magic from his previous world entered this one, many spells didn't change much, while others underwent significant transformations. Among them, the Patronus Charm was undoubtedly one of the most changed, exhibiting unparalleled power.

Most Patronus charms in his previous life were only used to repel Dementors. Initially, Abel thought this magic might be useless in this life, but after he accidentally used and studied it, he noticed a distinct difference, prompting him to ask the Ancient One for assistance in identifying this magic.

It seemed that when it came to negative forces or evil magic, the Patronus Charm could undoubtedly become a powerful asset for Abel.

Of course, the prerequisite for being a significant advantage is that Abel needs to master the Patronus Charm fully. As of now, he can only release the silver-white mist that extends three or four meters from his body. He cannot yet form basic shapes, so for now, it can only serve as a defense.

Abel recalled Dumbledore's Patronus charm sheltering the entire school in his previous world. That powerful force is the direction Abel strives for. If he can achieve mastery over the Patronus Charm like Dumbledore did, he will certainly become a nemesis of dark powers and negative energies in this world.

At the very least, when facing someone like Dormammu, it should enable him to protect himself and escape.

"Master Abel, had you mastered this magic earlier, you probably wouldn't have faced so much trouble dealing with the members of the Dark Church."

"Magic requires time to learn. Back then, I hadn't yet mastered this magic, which left me feeling quite helpless. Dormammu isn't dead and will always want to encroach on Earth. His followers in the Dark Church are likely still active in the shadows. Sooner or later, we will meet again, and the time to learn this magic isn't too late."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave for now; I have something to attend to."

"Ancient One, thank you."

"It's fine."

After speaking, the Ancient One nodded to Abel and turned to leave.

Back in her room, the Ancient One sat cross-legged on a futon, closed her eyes, and soon her consciousness drifted into the realm of darkness.

This was a space bathed in gentle light, with a sea of clouds surging beneath her feet, emitting a soft white glow, while the sky above was filled with swirling colors.

At that moment, three illusory giant heads appeared in the sky: a long-haired woman on the left, a tiger-headed figure on the right, and a handsome bald man in the center. These three represented the powerful backing of Kamar Taj: The Vishnu Trinity!
