Chapter 118: Ingenious Magic Application (Third Update)
Chapter 118: Ingenious Magic Application (Third Update)
In fact, when it comes to understanding Magic and the amount of magic power, Sun Long far surpasses Jerry.
Although the world's top Magic Masters don't seem to be that powerful in terms of combat.
Sun Long, however, is still a Third Tier Magic Master, just one step below Balthazar and Horvath, who are in the second tier.
(The first tier consists of the deceased Merlin and the sealed strongest dark wizard, Morgana.)
He was also imprisoned in the Hand of Death for over two hundred years, during which his magic power accumulated to a level that Jerry could never match.
The reason Jerry hasn't been defeated yet is mainly because he isn't a conventional Magic Master of this world. The spell system he commands is different from what is known here.
For instance, the shield charm on his wizard robe is an advanced defensive spell that even adult wizards in the Harry Potter world find difficult to master.
Apart from being unable to block the Killing Curse, most Magic attacks, unless extremely powerful, find it hard to penetrate the shield charm. Sun Long's fire Magic is certainly formidable, but it can't break through Jerry's defenses in a short time.
However, this is only true for a short period. If the standoff drags on, Jerry will eventually run out of magic power and lose.
Moreover, Jerry knows that Sun Long's strongest Magic isn't his fire spells but a special Magic that can summon a giant dragon to assist in battle.
With Jerry's current strength, he is no match for that dragon.
But Jerry wouldn't have stayed behind to cover their retreat without some confidence. He doesn't do things without a plan.
While Jerry's strength may not match Sun Long's, killing Sun Long would be a simple matter for him.
Why is that?
Because Jerry knows Sun Long's ace in the hole, while Sun Long is completely unaware of Jerry's Magic. This is Jerry's advantage, and it's a significant one.
Especially since Jerry knows the Killing Curse.
The Killing Curse is a spell that guarantees death upon impact, unless dodged or blocked by a physical object. No magical shield can stop it.
In the Harry Potter world, everyone knows the characteristics of the Killing Curse, so no wizard would be foolish enough to use a magical shield to defend against it. However, the Magic Masters of this world are unaware of this.
If Jerry were to cast the Killing Curse at Sun Long, and Sun Long continued to use his powerful Fire Shield to block it, the outcome would be inevitable:
Instant death!
This is Jerry's greatest trump card for facing Sun Long alone.
His original intention was to capture Sun Long alive, take his Magic Ring, and use the Imperius Curse to obtain all the Magic knowledge of Morgana's faction.
So unless he is truly outmatched, he won't use this spell.
Besides, he is also quite envious of Sun Long's ability to summon a dragon to aid in battle.
Seeing that his fire Magic was ineffective against Jerry, Sun Long's temper flared.
As the top Magic Master of Xiangjiang, he found it intolerable to be held up by a teenager.
Instead of trying to break through Jerry's powerful shield with fire Magic, he focused on his strongest mimicry Magic—the Dragon Transformation Spell!
Under his incantation, the dragon-shaped engraving on his armor came to life.
At the same time, the false dragon that had been dancing below the rooftop transformed into a black, living dragon under the influence of the dragon engraving on Sun Long's armor.
The giant dragon flicked its whiskers and unleashed a massive ball of flame into the sky. Then, with a sudden leap, it began to climb the building, intent on reaching the rooftop to assist Sun Long in battle.
However, just as the dragon's head emerged onto the rooftop, Sun Long, who was struggling to control the dragon, let out a muffled groan.
"It seems I've succeeded. If I hadn't, I would have had to use the Killing Curse!"
Jerry's ears twitched, and his expression relaxed.
Sure enough, as Sun Long groaned, the dragon's head, which had just poked out, came to a complete stop.
Then, two more muffled groans echoed, and the dragon, now in its physical form, fell to the ground, reverting to its original appearance.
Clearly, Sun Long's magic had been dispelled.
Jerry retracted the second form of his wizard robe and looked over at Sun Long, who was now foaming at the mouth and unconscious on the ground.
With a wave of his wand, three Black Mambas, tongues flicking, revealed themselves beside Sun Long.
It turned out that just as Sun Long was concentrating on casting the Dragon Transformation Spell, Jerry had taken the opportunity to summon three Black Mambas using the Snake Summoning Charm. He had also cast a Disguise Charm on the snakes, making them invisible.
The three invisible Black Mambas bypassed Sun Long's Flame Shield and bit his calves, immediately poisoning him.
This incident highlighted the benefits of learning a wide range of spells. With a bit of creativity, even less powerful spells could be combined to achieve surprising results.
In the study of magic, some chose to specialize, dedicating a lot of time to learning a few spells they considered the most useful, maximizing their power.
Others, like Jerry, preferred a broader approach, learning as many spells as possible and combining them to make their magical abilities more versatile.
In terms of raw destructive power, specialization was undoubtedly stronger. For example, Harry relied on a single Disarming Charm to face off against Voldemort. Hermione, despite her mastery of numerous spells, didn't have the same practical combat strength as Harry.
However, Jerry leaned more towards the second approach, favoring the acquisition of a wide range of spells.
His situation was unique; he wasn't confined to one world and might find himself in many different ones in the future. Specializing in a few powerful spells could still leave him vulnerable to being countered.
By learning a broader array of spells, he could adapt to any environment and handle any situation with ease.
Moreover, Jerry believed that no magic was useless. With the right application, even everyday spells could be incredibly useful.
For instance, the seemingly useless Hair Growth Spell and Hair Removal Spell could be life-saving in certain situations.
If, during a battle, an enemy grabbed your hair, you could cast a Hair Removal Spell on yourself. Or, if an enemy tried to engage you in close combat, you could cast a Hair Growth Spell on them.
After all, everyone has hair, and making someone lose or grow hair could have significant effects in specific circumstances.
Most importantly, Jerry felt that focusing solely on the destructive power of magic and combat wasn't what made a true magician. The most crucial aspect of being a magician was knowledge—knowledge of magic.
Only by mastering a wide range of magical knowledge and spells could one delve deeper into the true essence of magic.
Taking out an antidote, Jerry administered it to Sun Long to neutralize the venom, then cast a Sleeping Charm to keep him unconscious. He began searching Sun Long's body for the magic ring that served as his casting medium.
"Huh, where is it?"
It turned out that Sun Long's ten fingers, adorned with ten golden armor rings popular during the Qing Dynasty, did not have any rings at all.
