Chapter 151: Surpassing Merlin's Talent (Second Update)

The Dragonfire spell, created by Jerry by combining incendio, Fiendfyre, and Sun Long's Fireball technique, along with the theories of flame magic from both worlds, is a controllable area-of-effect flame spell.

Its advantages include controllability, wide damage range, and a certain curse effect that makes burns difficult to heal.

The downside is that it consumes some magic power, but with Jerry's current magic reserves, it's manageable.

"Dragon descend!"

Late at night, inside the box space.

Jerry waved his wand, and a dragon about ten meters long took shape in front of him. Under his control, it crashed through a dozen dummies before disappearing.

"The power is still lacking; I need to keep improving it!"

Jerry frowned as he observed the effect of the Dragonfire spell.

At present, Jerry wasn't short on single-target attack spells, but he lacked effective area-of-effect spells.

Whether it was the Killing Curse, Shadowblade Curse, or Particle Cannon, they were all highly effective against one or two, or even three or four enemies. However, when faced with a large number of enemies, things got complicated.

After all, although his body had become much stronger through meditation techniques, he was still human. A direct hit from a regular bomb could potentially turn him into mincemeat.

While he used magic to attack his enemies, they would also attack him. If he couldn't quickly resolve the situation, he could be overwhelmed and killed.

In fact, he wasn't entirely without area-of-effect spells, but none of the spells from the Mage handbook or those taught at Hogwarts were particularly suitable.

Since learning about the hammer that fell from the sky—Thor's hammer—Jerry realized that the events of Avengers One might not be far off.

The appearance of Mjolnir indicated that Thor must be nearby, and the main antagonist of Avengers One is Thor's brother, Loki.

In Avengers One, the challenge isn't just Loki but an army of thousands of aliens equipped with advanced technology and the massive alien beasts they control.

With the spells he currently knows, it would be difficult for him to make a significant impact in this battle.

The Killing Curse is undoubtedly lethal, but those aliens aren't fools. They won't stand still for you to hit them, and their laser weapons are no joke.

How many aliens could Jerry kill with the Killing Curse in the entire battle? Ten? Twenty?

Avengers One is both a crisis and an opportunity. If he prioritized safety, he could simply leave New York with Hass and his family to avoid the battle.

But Jerry didn't want to do that. Running away won't solve any problems. If he could escape the aliens in Avengers One, could he escape the Purple Potato Spirit?

Even if the Avengers could resurrect the half of the population that disappeared, the Marvel world isn't just about the Purple Potato Spirit. In these major crises, there are always casualties, and it could be him or his loved ones.

So, even if he fled New York and lived in another city, he wouldn't be safe.

Jerry preferred to control his own destiny. Only by becoming strong enough could he face any future crises.

Therefore, he had to participate in the Avengers One event. If he made a significant contribution, killed enough aliens, and saved enough civilians, he would undoubtedly earn a massive number of Little Red Stars.

As his body gradually adapted to the side effects of "Brain Booster", he found himself consuming more and more Little Red Stars. Relying solely on earning Little Red Stars by doing good deeds in New York would definitely fall far short of what he needed.

But if he only killed a dozen or two aliens in Avengers One, how many Little Red Stars would that even get him?

...

The Shadowblade Curse was indeed better due to its invisibility effect, but its limited range meant that even if Dobby used the Killing Curse, he could only take out a dozen or so enemies, which wouldn't change the overall situation.

As for the particle cannon, which had immense destructive power, it required charging up to be effective. However, those aliens wouldn't stand still and wait for him to charge up a powerful attack. The first sneak attack might work, but once discovered, it would be much harder.

The Magic Dragon spell, which he used against the robots, was also unsuitable because the aliens had flight capabilities. One volley from his Magic Dragon, and it would be game over.

After much consideration, he decided to combine the magic from two different worlds to create a spell suitable for crowd control.

After multiple rounds of selection, Jerry's attention settled on fire-based magic.

First, fire-based magic was inherently well-suited for crowd control. However, the few fire spells he had learned all had their flaws, making them unsuitable for the battle at Avengers One.

For instance, Fiendfyre, once unleashed, would burn indiscriminately, spreading as long as there was anything flammable. It would not only burn the aliens but likely destroy all of New York in the process.

Unless he reached Voldemort's level, using Fiendfyre to kill enemies was out of the question, as it would result in massive collateral damage.

The Path of Fire, which Dumbledore modified from Incendio, was also quite effective. In the movies, Dumbledore could manipulate a sea of fire with a wave of his wand, burning thousands of Inferi to ashes.

However, after Jerry probed Dumbledore for information, he learned that the Path of Fire was not as simple as he had thought.

To cast the Path of Fire, one needed an extremely strong magical foundation. Even Professor Flitwick, who was highly skilled, could not yet perform it. The chances of Jerry using it during the battle at Avengers One were slim to none.

Moreover, Sun Long was an expert in Flame Magic. When fusing magic, Jerry could not only consult with wizards from this world like Dumbledore, Snape, Flitwick, and Mcgonagall, but also seek advice from Sun Long, the mage from the other world.

Thanks to this, in just two short months, he managed to create the dragonfire spell, a spell that, while not perfect, could be considered a decent area-of-effect attack.

However, the current destructive power of the dragonfire spell fell short of his expectations.

But there was no need to rush. He still had time to optimize it further, such as by increasing the size of the dragon to enhance its power, or by increasing the number of dragons summoned to expand the attack range.

Inventing something new was the hardest part. Once the principles were understood, making improvements and upgrades became much easier.

"Even Merlin at this age couldn't have done much better!"

Behind Jerry, Sun Long couldn't help but marvel at Jerry's creation of a new Flame Magic spell.

He had no idea how many professors at Hogwarts Jerry had consulted. To Sun Long, Jerry had only discussed Flame Magic with him for two months and had already created a highly destructive dragonfire spell, a feat that surpassed his imagination.
