I took some rest and let pure magic remove the aches from my body.
Alright, it's time for a morning run.
I undid the locks on Dora's room. Fortunately, they didn't the disappear like yesterday morning. Phew! that scare when the door knob actually turned yesterday gave me a déjà vu of the time when I was caught watching....stuff in my previous life.
*Shudder*
Those who have suffered a similar fate must definitely be able to empathise with this tragedy->
As I started to leave the room-
"Ma-ma....Mama! Maaamaaa!!"
A cute but clingy little dragon stopped me.
.
.
"Sigh...What am I supposed to do with you?" It seems I can't leave her alone.
As I approached her, she once again jumped from the couch.
I shook my head in exasperation as I caught her carefully one again.
"OK then, let's try disillusioning you first." I activated the trigger. And first tried casting a basic disillusionment charm. This is the textbook disillusionment charm that moderately skilled wizards can perform after practicing a lot.
White light flashed and The egg breaking sensation happened on Nyxie's head and she widened her eyes at the sudden sensation. The magic setted all over her scales and for a second, she disappeared.
But after flickering for a few times, the disillusionment charm vanished...
"No..not yet." This time, I casted an overpowered disillusionment charm. The incarnation of the disillusionment charm is quite versatile.
It means that, if the caster has high magic power and control, then with the right intent, the caster can tweak the spell quite a bit. So much so that it actually works better than even the most complicated and difficult invisibility charm!
That's why, even the great Albus Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort himself only use disillusionment charm for becoming invisible. In fact, it was written in canon that when Voldemort used it on himself, even he couldn't see himself!
And thus I casted an overpowered disillusionment charm after tweaking it and using a considerable amount of magic power.
This time, it last for quite a while!
It lasted for about one minute.
.
.
.
Nonono. Not yet. Not yet!
Actually, even if you overpower a spell, you can only put in limited amount of magical power as much as the spell frame allows you to.
For example, You can't drill a hole into a wall with a stinging hex. The spell frame won't allow you to put in that much magic power.
So, this time, I did something that only I can do. I recalled the exact feeling of the disillusionment charm energy that I felt while casting the spell just now.
And then, after concentrating for quite a bit, I brought out the exact spell again. But this time, it was no spell. Because... there was no spell frame. I can put in as much amount as I want!
Even though it's quite different, it gives me the same feeling that I used to get after hacking the game and removing the limiters of my character.
Yeah...I didn't follow the rules even in games.
That is why, I didn't give up going through with simple plan of taking her with me after making her invisible after just two failures due to anti magic thingy.
But...my magic power suddenly got cut off!
Damn it! I forgot I was already drained after the dragon transformation earlier.
My recovery speed is quite fast and I wasn't completely drained earlier. So I had gotten back enough for that overpowered disillusionment earlier. But as soon as I started the unlimited MOD version, I realized that I'm out of internet and battery and electricity.
"Meoww!"
At that time, Nyxie let out a cute mewl. I looked at her-
!!!!!!
"THE HELL??!!!"
And then, I got the most unexpected surprise!
Nyxie puffed her chest and drew her head back, as if she was going breath fire, but when she opened her mouth, what came was not fire!
Familiar white light began coming out of her mouth. It enveloped her and soon, she disappeared!
GOD DAMN!!!
HOW DID SHE CASTE THE DISILLUSIONMENT CHARM?!!!
I set on the couch, with the invisible Nyxie snuggling to my neck for a long time in a daze...thinking.
But...there was no denying it.
=>Intelligence
=>Pure Magic
And....
The third ability she got from:
=>"""The Ability To Sense Magic"""
*Creak*
At that time, Dora came out of her door, still drowsy from waking up early.
As she looked at my dazed expression, came up and sat down next me.
"Wotcher, Chrisy?" She asked as she rubbed her eyes sleepily.
I just shook my head.
Still sleepy Dora laid her head on shoulder.
"Then why do you look-"
"Screeech!!"
She couldn't finish her question since as soon as she had laid her head on my shoulder, Nyxie came out of her invisibility and let out a high pitched growl at Dora while spreading her small wings.
"Aaaaaaaah" Dora also let out a startled scream.
"W-What the hell?!! I totally forgot that now you have a pet dragon!"
At that time, I finally came out of my daze.
"Ha...haha...hehehehe.." And started laughing like a third rate villain..
The possibilities! Ohhh, the possibilities!!!! They're endless!!!
At first, I was a bit disconcerted over the fact that Nyxie can also sense magic. But, I quickly realized that I was being an idiot. I am her master. I hatched her and bonded with her. She's essentially a part of me. Even Dora might turn against me one day if suddenly turned lunatic, but Nyxie? She'd be with me whatever, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 I do.
Besides, at the end of the day, I'd be the stronger one of the two of us. It has always been like that in a master familiar bond. That's why the dragon never bond with the regular wizards.
Just then, Dora bumped me on the head.
"Stop laughing, you cheeky little bugger! You did it on purpose didn't you? You scared me on purpose! I can easily tell by your evil laughter!"
I was not at all laughing at her. I just completing my habit of laughing evilly every time I discovered something unexpectedly good.
But...oh well, it's good that I have an excuse for laughing in such a way suddenly. Or else she might have creeped out.
****
A.N.: Damn! Did anyone saw that coming? Nyxie's third ability she got from the bond is sensing magic! But, It's important that she has this because something very, very interesting becomes possible with this.
Alright with this, the first year is almost done for. Then, we'll be going to France for the family arc!
POWERSTONES!!!!
