Chapter 166: Really, Thanks a Lot, Seamus
Chapter 166: Really, Thanks a Lot, Seamus
After browsing through his status bar, Ivan noticed some new additions, such as the Magic Gauge.
Or, to put it more simply, Magic Points!
According to the information provided by the system, the Magic Gauge of an Adult Wizard is roughly around one hundred points, with some powerful wizards far exceeding this number.
"So, my current magic is roughly sixty percent of an Adult Wizard's", Ivan muttered to himself.
This was only because his magic had doubled during the fusion of Unicorn Blood. Otherwise, he would have only had about thirty percent of an Adult Wizard's magic.
Considering his status as a second-year student, this was quite normal.
Ivan then focused on the main update, the newly appeared Legendary Points.
After reading the explanation, Ivan understood that this had only one function.
By consuming five Legendary Points, he could activate the system's Protection Mode, which would eliminate the risks associated with fusing Bloodlines.
This made Ivan feel slightly relieved. Without this feature, even if he had the method to fuse multiple Bloodlines, he wouldn't dare to use it.
After all, the risk of fusing even one Bloodline was already high, let alone multiple mixed together.
Ivan was somewhat surprised to find that he already had three Legendary Points!
After a thorough search through the system bar, Ivan found the additional legend title section. The three titles displayed were Troll Slayer, Apprentice Savior, and Dragon Knight.
Ivan clicked on one of them with a peculiar expression.
Legend Title: [[Dragon Knight (Young Dragon Knight)
Legendary Degree: 1
Legendary Event: You rode a Dragon (a Young Dragon) and repelled the Invader at the end of the term. Although this claim has been refuted by the Ministry of Magic's announcement, Mr. Seamus Finnigan insists on recounting your heroic deeds to everyone he meets. ]
"Really, thanks a lot, Seamus", Ivan said with a sense of exasperation.
Ivan hadn't expected that Seamus, the little rascal, was still trying to convince everyone about the Dragon ride.
As for the other two events, Ivan had a general idea of what they represented without needing to check: one for the Halloween incident where he killed the troll, and the other for preventing the resurrection of the Dark Lord during the quest for the Philosopher's Stone.
But the titles were one worse than the other. Troll Slayer was acceptable, but what was with Apprentice Savior?
The only slightly better one, Dragon Knight, always made him think of some strange things.
Ivan kept complaining in his mind, but he was well aware that to gather five points and safely fuse the next Bloodline, the difficulty was extremely high.
Each Legendary Event represented a dangerous experience. The only exception was the Dragon ride, where his cautious and meticulous planning allowed him to defeat the enemy in a single move.
However, he hadn't even found the method to fuse multiple Bloodlines yet, so additional Legendary Points were of no use.
Thinking about this, Ivan felt a bit depressed. Throughout the summer, he had often discussed with Tom about his visits to the Hogwarts Restricted Section.
To avoid arousing Tom's suspicions, Ivan didn't ask too directly, but he did ask indirectly about several times. However, Tom Riddle remained quite calm, occasionally even discussing a few Dark Magic books with Ivan.
Tom's reaction once made Ivan reconsider his previous thoughts, which was why he decided to destroy the Horcrux without fully understanding the situation.
But now it's different. The missing content in *Bloodline Origin* is very likely related to the method of merging multiple bloodlines. Taking some risks is worthwhile.
After all, the temptation of increasing one's strength is too great. Most of his current power can be attributed to that bloodline fusion ritual. The bloodline magic, *Shadow of the Unicorn*, remains his greatest trump card to this day!
Ivan ate his breakfast absentmindedly, frowning as he pondered. At that moment, a pale hand reached out and smoothed his furrowed brow.
"What's wrong?" Aisia asked with concern.
"Nothing, just thinking about the upcoming school year. I'm not quite used to it yet", Ivan shook his head, temporarily setting aside his worries and continued.
"You'll have to get used to it!" Aisia laughed, wielding a fork to tap Ivan on the head, but he dodged it.
After breakfast, Ivan went upstairs to pack his luggage.
Aisia had wanted to help, but he politely declined. The Horcrux diary must not be exposed; otherwise, Aisia would surely burn it with a fire curse, severing the lead he had worked so hard to obtain.
In the afternoon, Ivan took the time to practice his bloodline magic in the basement.
Since he could clearly see his magic gauge, Ivan naturally wanted to determine his casting limits. Soon enough, the basement was filled with the rare sight of a silver-white unicorn, stepping on white mist, chasing a terrifying Dementor around.
Considering that he wouldn't have the opportunity to practice with a Dementor once school started, Ivan spent the entire afternoon. When the Dementor's body became extremely translucent, looking on the verge of collapse, he finally let it go, still feeling unsatisfied.
With his magic nearly depleted, Ivan figured out the mana cost of the *Shadow of the Unicorn*.
In its ethereal form, it consumed one unit of magic gauge every five minutes, but in its physical form, the consumption was terrifying, draining ten units of magic per second.
In other words, without overextending his magic, he could maintain the physical form of the *Shadow of the Unicorn* for a maximum of six seconds.
Reforming after being dispersed in physical form required a large amount of magic, with the exact cost depending on the extent of the damage.
"Phew." After confirming his casting limits, Ivan canceled the bloodline magic and opened the storage box.
Without needing to be driven away, the Dementor moved quickly, "whoosh", and sealed itself inside the box, even closing the lid on its own, much to Ivan's surprise.
Aisia, who was making a protective ring in the workshop, saw this scene and was momentarily at a loss. A Dementor, usually a terrifying creature, was almost driven to isolation by her child.
The day passed in a flash. On the morning of September 1st, Ivan hurriedly dragged his luggage downstairs, not forgetting to tuck Tom's diary into his pocket before leaving.
Except when sleeping, Ivan kept the diary with him at all times to prevent Tom from finding an opportunity to influence others or to avoid it being stolen.
Although the diary looked ordinary and might not interest anyone if lost, it was better to be cautious.
