Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe I heard a saying that a certain swordsman often said:

"Death is like the wind, always with me."

In order to protect himself, Voldemort developed an offensive spell for himself in the soul state.

Its principle is very complex, and even involves a magical theory that has not yet been completely proven - potions can be used as a special kind of spell.

For similar cases, you can refer to the "Liquified Patronus Curse" made by Horace, or the "Fire Counter-Curse Potion" made by Snape.

This is a technique that can only be mastered by a master who is proficient in the two magical disciplines of spells and potions, and who has extremely high levels of potion making.

I have to admit that Voldemort was able to meet these two conditions at the same time. He even went further and studied more thoroughly than Horace and Snape.

This extremely talented Dark Lord pioneered the use of his own remnant soul as the carrier of the "magic potion", and partially integrated the very familiar "Avada Kedavra" into this "magic potion".

This is equivalent to having contact with his remnant soul, which is equivalent to being stuck with the "Avada Kedavra".

Although this "soul-chasing and life-killing" contact attack is not as fatal as the genuine Death Curse (the effect is somewhat attenuated), it can still cause permanent damage to part of the soul of the target being attacked.

For ordinary people, the intuitive manifestation of damage to the soul is that the upper limit of life span is reduced, and various functions of the body will also be degraded to varying degrees.

For wizards, because of the bond of magic, the connection between the soul and the body is closer, so when part of the soul is permanently damaged, the wizard's body will also have corresponding disabilities.

This point can be referred to today's Voldemort himself - because he kept dividing his soul to make Horcruxes, no matter how careful he was, he still lost some "leftovers" - not only did he lose all his hair, his skin changed He became unhealthy pale and permanently lost his nose.

And this is actually the result of Voldemort's careful control. And without his ability, the wizard who lost part of his soul would actually have a high probability of losing some other more important organs or tissues: skin, heart, brain, intestines, bones...

The end result will definitely be death, and it will be a tortured death.

Therefore, even if the death effect is not as good as the real "Avada Kedavra", the "soul chasing and killing" (let's call it that) developed by Voldemort is still very deadly, and can even be said to be more sinister and vicious.

However, by becoming a soul and losing the protection of his body, Voldemort would actually be in greater danger.

Moreover, without a body that can accumulate and generate magic power, "chasing souls and taking lives" will actually consume part of the soul every time it produces an effect.

Even if Voldemort took a trick - when he left Quirrell's body, he took away as much of the "unlucky guy"'s magic power as much as possible at once - but these magic powers are limited after all, and because there is no body as a carrier, so They also pass quickly like water in a net bag.

30 seconds!

In half a minute at most, the last bit of resources Voldemort squeezed from his host Quirrell will be exhausted, and by then he will have to consume himself if he wants to attack again.

Therefore, he didn't even bother to continue "inciting rebellion" against Snape and asked his former subordinate to rebel and help. Instead, he just yelled, "You're asking for death," and then bumped into Bourne.

Partly because of the remnant soul form, and partly because of the fusion of the "Flying Curse", Voldemort in the remnant soul form moves extremely quickly. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is as fast as the wind.

Faced with such a strange counterattack, Bourne quickly retreated while using the psychic power of the telekinesis system to covertly lay out invisible walls in front of him.

However, after turning into the remnant soul form, Voldemort's actions really became smooth and flowing.

Whenever he encountered those invisible barriers, once he touched them, he would either turn around or simply find a weak point to break through.

In less than a few seconds, Voldemort and Bourne were less than one to two meters closer.

At this distance, Snape, who had witnessed everything next to him, had to consider the possibility of accidental injury even if he wanted to use magic to counterattack.

Snape was confident that he could hit the target directly with the "Shadow's Edge Curse", but this kind of curse that focused on cutting was basically useless to Voldemort in the form of a soul; and he knew some black magic that could attack the soul. Magic, if Bourne is hit by mistake, as a spellcaster, he is not sure whether he can save the little wizard in time (the only curse that can attack the soul is "Avada Kedavra", the latter is the "Unforgivable Curse" ", just because it really does not have a counter-spell; some other curses actually have similar effects, but they basically have corresponding counter-spells, but it is actually difficult to use them in time.)

And just when Snape was so anxious that he almost pulled his hair, with a clear cry, the fire phoenix Fawkes appeared in the secret room with Dumbledore.

"Expecto Patronum!"

Dumbledore chanted a spell loudly, and a silver-white phoenix suddenly emerged from the Elder Wand in his hand, and then plunged towards Voldemort, who was approaching Bourne.

"Yes, you can still use this spell." Seeing this, Snape couldn't help but feel regretful for his hesitation just now, and also felt a little ashamed that he had only thought of using dark magic. "Perhaps it is for this reason that Lily left me in the end."

-

"Damn it! This is a trap!"

At the same time that Dumbledore appeared, Voldemort, a late-stage patient with persecution paranoia, immediately made an inference based on his own judgment.

Although if he thinks so, there is actually nothing wrong with it.

With such a guess, he would no longer think about seizing the magic stone. At this time, he was more concerned about whether he could escape.

Moreover, when Dumbledore released the Phoenix Patronus, Voldemort immediately felt something strange.

Although he had seen Dumbledore cast a spell up close when he was possessed by Quirrell before, his feelings at that time were completely different from now.

He is now a pure soul!

Even though the Phoenix Patron Saint had not yet touched him but was only gradually approaching, as the ball of white magic curse got closer and closer, Voldemort could feel himself start to tremble continuously at this time.

Like water that was about to be boiled, his evil soul, which was like a black mist, began to roll out ripples uncontrollably.

Alarm bells rang in Voldemort's heart. At the same time, he was quite surprised: "How old is this old man? Why is he still so powerful?"

Under normal circumstances, the older the wizard is, the more powerful he is. This actually means that because he has accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge, the older the wizard is, the better his spellcasting skills will be. This does not mean that the older the wizard, the more powerful he will be. The magic power of the wizard will be stronger.

In fact, with the deterioration of various body functions caused by age, wizards usually have less magical power as they get older than they did in their prime.

But Voldemort felt that this rule had no effect on Dumbledore. More than ten years ago, the white wizard was as powerful as a god; more than ten years later, Dumbledore, who was almost a centenarian, still had abundant magic power that made Voldemort afraid.
