Witch Hunter - Dementor Blood Essence Upgrades!

There were three prime reasons for Kai to nudge Darcie to come to Diagon Alley for indefinite stay.

First — Knowledge.

Second — Freedom to interact and make connections.

Third — A solid alibi.

Coupled with the Sling Ring, which Kai had been saving to meet its Requirements for so long, and he could let out his inner demon to the very ends of the world without getting prosecuted for it.

…

After gaining the Magical Aptitude Ability, there weren't many places in this Random World where Kai couldn't teleport to using the ring.

Not to mention, he needed to hunt wizards for their souls and upgrade his Dementor Blood Essence while simultaneously obtaining Breath Attribute Points out of his Set Quota.

Hunting the wizards and witches in Diagon Alley would attract unnecessary eyes, he knew.

However, using the Sling Ring, he could be anywhere in moments, effectively taking care of any doubts regarding Darcie as well once the disappearances piled up.

…

Somewhere in England,

Darcie had been to many wizarding communities. With Kai's mind, he could perfectly recall those memories.

A golden circle broke through the space and Dementor-Kai slithered out of it, bringing with it a bone-chilling coldness.

-Selene,- he hissed, a broken breath escaping out of the creature's mouth, hidden under the hood.

A silver mist burst out of the floating figure and bellowed like the tattered black cloak around it before disappearing. The Ghost Basilisk's Intangibility and Earth Vibration Sense were the most potent tools in Kai's arsenal for explorations and hunts.

At this hour, a dense fog had claimed the entire region.

Kai flew down into the alley in front of him, drowning himself in the sea of gray mist.

There was no sign of life, no sound, and no light other than the glow of the moon behind the clouds. Once the foul creature plunged itself into the mist, even that glow abandoned it.

Wizards' souls, Kai thought, the words making his heart palpitate.

Last time, when he had arrived at the Harry Potter World, Kai hadn't had time to perceive a wizard's soul before departing to the Pokemon World. So he didn't have any clue where these souls stood on his table of food sources with prime qualities.

Now, however, not only did he have a clue, but he also found there was nothing better than it. Not even a Pokemon's soul.

There was something about the wizard's soul that made his Glitch itch, arousing the Dementor within him.

It made him hungry. His breath rattled as he sensed residents all around him.

Her arrival couldn't have been more timely.

-Master,- she hissed, appearing to his left. -I found one.-

-How many?- Kai asked, his breath an unnerving combination of hiss and despair. -Any sign of Contestants?-

There was this one thing that Kai had learned about the wizardkind.

No matter how potent their magic was, or how good they were at casting spells, they were weak, prone to be killed as easily as muggles.

If he were to ambush one, keeping himself hidden and out of the wizard's reach, then he might not need to face the wizard's magic in an all-out brawl. The only problem was to finish the job as soon as possible.

Because if his hunt were to alert others, or the wizard was to apparate, then it meant saying goodbye to further hunts.

Then there were Contestants.

Till now, Kai had not chanced upon any Contestant, and they would keep themselves away from Darcie, what with her being a main-storyline Character and a child besides.

But these nightly hunts were another matter. If a Contestant was to see him attacking a wizard, then it would mean a reward for him. As he could then report a Dementor's presence in the Diagon Alley to the ministry, or worse, try to catch a Dementor by gathering more Contestants.

Such scenarios must be avoided, and there was only one way.

-No.- Selene hissed thoughtfully. -There were no weak magical presences within a 200 radius around the target, master.-

Now she hissed again, sounding more murderous than before. -I can't wait to devour his flesh,- she told him. -Hurry. Follow me.-

Kai could scarcely blame Selene. The tips of his fingers were already throbbing as he thought of the Soul Points.

Selene took him to a secluded area deeper into the alley.

It was then he heard footsteps.

-You know what to do,- Kai hissed, gliding towards a corner. -Don't kill him.-

-Haha!- Selene's laugh had an edge. She burst into silver mist and fused herself with the dense, cold fog around them.

The wizard had come close now.

His hand flicked, and Kai took out a gold coin he had stored in his MRB. He threw it in the middle of the alley.

The moment Kai saw the wizard's silhouette, he flew up, keeping himself out of sight.

It was a stout man, covered under a thick woolen cloak and hat.

Even in the darkness, the gold coin was easily noticeable. It caught the wizard's eye, who immediately paused.

"What huge luck!" a hoarse voice echoed in the alley.

But the wizard didn't approach it. He first took out a wand, looked around, and then warily walked to the coin.

He crouched, poked the coin with the wand, and getting no response, picked it up.

And the moment the wizard's shoulders relaxed after putting the coin in his pocket, sensing false security, Kai lunged at him.

Keeping himself to the wizard's back, and just inside the limit of a 3-meter radius, Kai slithered up to him and took a deep, rattling breath.

A profound chill took over the wizard as happiness got sucked out of him, replaced by despair.

The wizard spun, his knees buckling. He pointed the wand at Kai and got stunned at the sight of Dementor, his hand shaking like a leaf.

Kai couldn't let go of this opportunity. He neared the wizard, now only 2 meters apart, and once more sucked out his hope and happiness.

The wizard's mouth opened wide.

A scream, louder than the silence, was just sitting in his throat. And if he were to scream now, it was all lost for Kai.

Suddenly, something took form midair between the wizard and Dementor Kai.

An incredibly beautiful, white-scaled serpent. It had two eyes, both glazed, and there was a vertical gash in the middle. The gash parted like a slit.

The wizard's eyes fell on the stony-gray well of darkness, and he didn't even get to cast a spell.

All who looked at Selene's third eye were bound to become stone.

There was no moment to lose.

Dementor-Kai held out his hands and traced a circular path using his left hand's fingers, concentrating on Darcie's room.

A golden ring appeared in front of him, letting him see Darcie's bed beyond its boundary.

Kai held the petrified wizard in his arms and flew at his max speed to Darcie's room. Canceling the Skill, he threw the Sling Ring back to his Inventory before any Contestant could trace it to Diagon Alley.

Then, he plunged into the suitcase.

Meanwhile, Kai kept repeatedly sucking happiness and hope out of the petrified target, preparing for his Skill.

When he could sense no more sweetness on his tongue, Kai moved forward.

Skill Dementor's Kiss Activated

Time Limit: 30 Seconds

…

There was no describing this feeling.

An otherworldly cool sensation coursed down his throat like drinking the divine mead. Where all previous souls had felt to Kai as a drop, this soul was more of a swallow.

…

[Soul Points: +3]

…

3… Kai saw the number, astonished.

The number 3 also signified one more thing.

…

Kai beamed.

An Attribute Point outside of his Set Quota was always welcomed. It was especially now when his Set Quota had become 50 Points for the 2nd Set.

To Kai's relief, his Skills had advanced as well, it seemed.

Breath Snatcher upgraded to D from D-. Even though Dementor's Kiss' grade didn't change, it now offered 3 Breath Points upon meeting the new Soul Points criteria. Then there was Dementors Progenitor… a baffling mystery.

But this wasn't the time to pry into it.

Kai took out Murasame and plunged it into the soulless wizard's heart.

More notifications followed the moment the cursed poison finished its duty.

…

2 Points?! Kai tore his shocked eyes off the notification.

He had only 20 minutes left until his Identity Period's end.

First, he stripped the wizard naked, searching for any Item. But found nothing of importance. He took the wand, then. Here, too, he found a wooden stick, and nothing else. It was too rare to encounter Items on wizards like this, but this was also the only way to get Items.

One thing he had already confirmed was that he couldn't just brew potions in Darcie's form, and then use them as Items later. Meg had already told him that every Item, irrespective of the grade, would need a special course of action from the Contestant's side to get it.

So, without giving it another thought, Kai threw the clothes and the wand into the fire. The fire blazed, roared, and then devoured the wand, letting out sparks.

The rest, as always, was a bloody and hideous business.

Slithering around his shoulders, Kai could hear the saliva in Selene's moist hisses.
