Chapter 53: Bloody Hell

"Failed again."

Cyrus looked at the potion in the crucible that gradually turned from bright red to black, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He couldn't remember how many times he had tried to refine the magic stone and failed.

This does not include the number of failures he had simulated in his memory.

"I have strictly followed Flamel's notes and the twenty-two techniques summarized from other people's experiences, but the result is still a failure."

"What other secrets are there in the "Jewish Book of Abraham"? What variables existed when Nicolas Flamel was refining the Philosopher's Stone that even he didn't know about? What is the so-called essence?"

He only felt that a large number of mysteries were popping up in his mind one after another.

My mind feels like it's going to explode!

Cyrus knew that even if he continued to think about it now, he might not get the answer and it would just be a waste of time. When Cyrus waved his hand, everything in the room disappeared.

Since there is no progress in alchemy for the time being, it is better to practice magic spells first.

He took out the "Book of the Red Dragon", "The Book of Solomon", "The Book of Roger Ayer", and "The Complete Collection of Dark Curses"... these banned books.

The books are considered forbidden due to their powerful and terrifying curses as well as their obscure and complex nature which are not easy to understand.

Fortunately, Cyrus's talent in this area is much better than that of alchemy.

The "Book of the Red Dragon" records the method of resurrecting the dead, but after analysis, Cyrus discovered that this was actually just a method of creating Inferi, and the "resurrected" dead could not be considered a true resurrection at all.

How to refine the Inferi? This is something that Voldemort already had in his memory.

Although the method recorded in the Red Dragon Book is different, perhaps the efficiency of refining the Inferi is faster. But Cyrus really doesn't like the necromancer's approach.

Moreover, the Inferi do not actually have very strong combat effectiveness. They can serve as cannon fodder, but they are completely defenseless when faced with fire.

And it just so happens that most of the powerful wizards in this world have powerful fire magic.

For example, Dumbledore's Firestorm Charm, Cecil Lee's Vulcan, Grindelwald's blue fire Protego Diabolica, and even the relatively advanced version of Voldemort's Fiendfyre... many others are also good at using powerful fire.

Cyrus actually wanted to create his own flames, and coincidentally, the "Book of Red Dragons" recorded the devil flames of red dragons and the ice flames of white dragons.

He planned to combine several kinds of magic with fierce fire, and the mention of a kind of hellfire in the "Book of Solomon" also made him excited.

"You can add protective spells, defensive spells, phantom transformations, and enemy trap spells into the flames..."

Grindelwald's fire shield is integrated with many spells. In fact, the power of this magic is not as terrifying as Fiendfire, but it is more controllable and applicable. The power to destroy Paris is just incidental, and it is more important to identify his true believers.

However, Cyrus said that he wanted it both in terms of power and efficacy!

And even better!

Inventing new magic is an interesting thing for Cyrus. Although failure is inevitable, this kind of failure is not a real failure. At most, it is just that the magic invented does not meet his expectations.

"Not a failure, just a stone on the way to success."

It's like he tried to copy Grindelwald's fire shield first, but found that the most difficult thing was not to add those defensive spells to the flames, but to let them distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and only attack those who were not loyal enough to him.

This complex magic is like a program, starting with "if" and then forming a fork.

After the "command" given to the flame identifies the target through the "if" condition, it will show different characteristics:

To the enemy, burn everything; to protect the believers; to defend against the attack.

Now, Cyrus understood why the Fire Shield Protego Diabilica was not as powerful as Fiendfire.

The magic of this world is closely related to the wizard's emotions.

Fiend fire is the craziest of all fire magic. It has no other use than burning and destroying, spreading and swallowing everything. This absolute destructive power and determination to destroy everything makes it so powerful!

Fire shield protection is not such a magic. It is controlled. The power of protection contained in the magic has to make the caster's heart become more peaceful rather than crazy.

Two different emotions must reach a balance.

In this way, the power of the fire shield's body protection is naturally impossible to match that of Fiend Fire.

But when it comes to letting Cyrus make his own choice, he still prefers Protego Diabolica. Not only because it looks more beautiful, but although there is some gap in the power of these two magics, it is enough if it's just used to destroy something.

Bullets can accurately kill the enemy and leave hostages. There is no need to use nuclear weapons to kill the enemy and the hostages together.

In the Room of Requirement, Cyrus held Flint's wand in his hand and slowly circled it like an elegant musician.

Hot blue flames ignited around him, like a radiating wand. The anticyclone gradually spreads until it fills the entire interior space of the Room of Requirement!

But when he walked in the flames, he didn't feel the heat or danger of the flames at all. Instead, he felt as happy as walking in the green wilderness.

"Protego Diabolica!"

The swaying flames are like clusters of bluebells swaying in the wind.

Although Grindelwald's signature skills were reproduced, Cyrus was actually not very satisfied.

He once again added many transformation spells to the flames, and demons with blue heads immediately emerged from the hell of bluebells.

Then, he added two dragon fires from the "Book of Red Dragons" and the hellfire and fire jade from the "Book of Solomon" to the flames.

The color of the flame changed immediately.

The originally beautiful blue flame seemed to be soaked in blood and became the color of death.

The bluebells seemed to wither and wither.

However, a bloody mandala bloomed on its corpse, paving a path of fire.

In this way, a brand new fire magic was born in his hands.

Many black spells and magic fires have increased the power of the flames, making up for the lack of the fire shield's power.

Of course, this "insufficiency" can only be said to be relative. After all, it was a powerful spell that could destroy Paris. How could it really be "insufficient in power"?

"What if the curse of creating the Inferi is also integrated into it?" Cyrus suddenly thought.

Although he looks down on the Inferi, if the enemy sees his comrade swallowed by the flames stand up from the flames again, how will this situation affect the opponent's belief?

Cyrus immediately opened the "Book of Red Dragons" and incorporated the spell for making the Inferi into it.

In an instant, this terrifying spell finally took shape.

Even Cyrus himself was struck by the evil of the curse.

What a great spell!

First, destroy the enemy, and then drive the enemy's corpse to fight with their original companions.

Such cruel magic may even make Voldemort himself become Cyrus's number-one fan after seeing it.

When Satan himself comes, he has to hand him some flowers.

Cyrus suddenly had some resistance to this magic, or maybe it was a resistance to the evil hidden in his heart.

But now that the curse has been invented, even if you don't plan to use it in the future, you should at least give it a name.

"I remember that in "Bleach", Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakutō seemed to have similar abilities."

(P.S. I haven't watched Bleach so IDK what the author is talking about.)

After the swastika, the residual fire Taitonan Fire Ten Trillions Death Burial Formation is a move to recall the corpse of the deceased. However, this name is a bit too awkward to shout, so Cyrus plans to call it:

"Bloody Hell."
