Chapter 196: Pact Reached (Third Update)
"I can do it, but this magic isn't very practical. Those ordinary animals are too fragile and have short lifespans. It's more useful to focus on mastering mimicry magic!"
In Balthazar's view, contracting useless animals was far less convenient and powerful than the iron birds he could casually create through mimicry.
"Teacher, I'm just really interested in this ancient magic!"
Ordinary animals in this world are indeed useless, but in the Harry Potter world, the various fire dragons and the myriad fantastic beasts with their strange abilities can be incredibly useful if used well.
For example, those dementors that can only be driven away by the soul-sucking spell!
Once he upgrades his box space to the size of Newt's suitcase, a mini world, he can use pact magic to contract an entire army of fantastic beasts.
Then, with a wave of his hand, fire dragons and thunderbirds will soar through the sky, while giants, trolls, acromantulas, and zouwu charge on the ground. The thought is exhilarating.
Moreover, he might open other mini worlds in the future, where he could encounter even more powerful magical creatures.
In any case, he believes that mastering pact magic can significantly enhance his strength quickly.
The purple sweet potato spirit's alien forces are numerous, but his magical creature army won't be far behind.
However, contracting so many magical creatures requires a certain level of power. At the very least, his mental strength and magic power need to be sufficiently strong.
Seeing Jerry's genuine interest, Balthazar didn't dissuade him further and agreed to teach him the ancient pact magic when he had the time.
To be honest, pact magic isn't a simple magic. It involves the soul and mental strength.
The difficulty is comparable to the soul-sucking spell.
This is why he initially advised Jerry against learning it.
The effort and time invested are not proportional to the benefits.
Twenty days later, inside the spacetime box.
Jerry recited complex incantations, his fingers drawing magical runes in the air.
Moments later, an extremely intricate pact magic array appeared before him.
"It's really complex, but after so much effort, I finally managed to cast it!"
Over the past twenty days, he spent most of his time learning and practicing pact magic. He has only just barely mastered it.
To be frank, among all the magic he has learned, pact magic is indeed one of the most difficult.
If it weren't for the dual boosts from the Merlin array and "mind refresh", and the new magic principles he learned from Asgard, he might not have been able to master pact magic in just twenty days.
According to Balthazar's experience, many mages in the past spent four to five years just to barely grasp such a high-difficulty magic.
At this moment, Jerry realized that expanding his knowledge and understanding of magic is truly beneficial.
Although it requires more effort and time, it lays a solid foundation.
Many simpler magics he can now learn at a glance, and even the more complex ones, he can quickly master in a short time.
Even without "mind refresh", his speed of learning magic is on par with that of some prodigious mages.
Sometimes, Balthazar felt that the more he mastered magic, the closer his understanding of the world became.
He even suspected that the Mystic Deities in the Asgard magic books, who controlled dimensions, might have achieved their status because of their profound understanding of the world and the universe, allowing them to control a dimension and become immortal Dimensional Deities.
"Since I've learned it, can I give it a try!"
Looking at the Binding Array he had successfully drawn, Jerry turned his gaze to Norbert, who was busy gnawing on a cow bone.
Norbert, feeling Jerry's eyes on him, shivered.
Although not yet half a year old, Norbert already knew that the human in this spatial realm was the one to avoid the most.
Every time he misbehaved, the human would cast a few spells, making him howl in pain.
With the cow bone still in his mouth, Norbert turned away, positioning his dragon tail toward Jerry, and continued to gnaw, out of sight and out of mind.
Jerry, however, controlled the completed Binding Array and slowly walked to the front of Norbert, a gentle and loving smile on his face.
"Little Norbert, come let Dad give you a seal. After that, you'll be Dad's forever!"
Norbert, holding the cow bone, looked at Jerry's face, which was full of ill intent, and instinctively took a step back, not understanding the words but sensing the danger.
"Hmm."
Seeing Norbert's obvious reluctance, Jerry had a thought and snapped his fingers toward the enclosure where various animals were kept.
With Jerry's snap, a goat suddenly flew up, then in mid-air, its throat was slit, it was bled, skinned, and finally roasted over a fire on the lawn, turning into a fragrant roasted whole lamb.
"Little Norbert, look, this is your favorite roasted lamb. If you let Dad give you a seal, it will be yours. How about it?"
Norbert looked at the cow bone he had gnawed down to nothing and then at the fragrant roasted lamb. His dragon saliva instantly turned into a small waterfall.
After much hesitation, he took a hesitant step forward, but before Jerry could begin the contract, he quickly withdrew his foot.
His dragon instincts warned him not to take that step.
"Looks like you're choosing the hard way!"
Seeing Norbert's lack of cooperation, a dangerous glint appeared in Jerry's eyes.
For Pact Magic to succeed, either the other party had to agree, or they had to be beaten into submission.
Since Norbert was not choosing the first option, Jerry would have to give him the second.
Just as Jerry was about to cast a spell to teach Norbert a lesson, Norbert seemed to sense something and immediately took a step forward, placing his head in front of Jerry with a fawning expression.
His dragon instincts told him that if he didn't do this now, things would get much worse.
"You finally see reason!"
Seeing Norbert's obedient demeanor, Jerry was satisfied and put away the spell he had been about to cast.
"Pact!"
He reduced the Binding Array to the size of his palm and gently pressed it onto Norbert's head. The continuously rotating Pact Magic array immediately sank into the dragon's head.
At the same time, a brilliant magic light enveloped them, and both Jerry and Norbert closed their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, a faint smile appeared on Jerry's lips.
At that moment, he could faintly sense Norbert's thoughts, indicating that the pact had been successful.
