Chapter 313: Contracting a Dementor (First Update)
Chapter 313: Contracting a Dementor (First Update)
As soon as Hermione finished speaking, the compartment door, which Neville had just closed, was opened again.
However, this time, it wasn't a familiar classmate but a towering figure in a cloak, nearly touching the ceiling of the train.
The figure's face was completely hidden under the hood, and the hand that emerged from the cloak to open the door was an eerie grayish-white, gleaming with a sinister light, as if covered in mucus and spots, like something that had rotted in water after death.
"Cheer up!"
Upon seeing the Dementor, Jerry immediately pointed his left hand, hidden under his witch robe, at himself and silently cast a Happiness Charm.
As a top student and well-known Slytherin, Jerry certainly couldn't unjustly attack the Azkaban Guard searching the train for Sirius Black.
However, if the guard couldn't resist the temptation and attacked the Hogwarts students first, then self-defense would be entirely justified.
Sure enough, as Jerry quietly cast the Happiness Charm on himself, causing his mood to instantly reach a peak of joy, the Dementor, who had been ordered to search for Sirius Black, couldn't resist the temptation of the happiness emanating from Jerry. The Dementor let out an excited "cackle" and opened its mouth, drawing in a deep, chilling breath in Jerry's direction.
As soon as the Dementor opened its mouth, Jerry immediately felt a bone-chilling cold, and the excellent mood induced by the Happiness Charm vanished. A wave of despair began to spread through his mind.
However, Jerry didn't panic. He swiftly activated Supermode, forcing his brain into a state of absolute rationality. Then, he raised his wand and shouted:
"Trying to ambush me, Patronus Charm!"
A soft white light rose from Jerry's wand, and a nearly solid Patronus appeared before him.
As the most powerful Patronus in this world, Jerry naturally took it very seriously. Since learning the Patronus Charm, he had been continuously researching and improving it.
While the progress wasn't particularly significant, based on his Magic theory that combined four different Magic systems, he managed to make some minor improvements and developed the third form of the Patronus.
A typical Patronus has two forms: the first is a non-corporeal mist, which many witches' Patronuses take. The second is a corporeal form, such as Harry's stag or Hermione's otter, which only the most talented witches can achieve.
Witches who can summon the second form can easily convert it to the first form.
For example, Professor Lupin's Patronus is a wolf, but because he despises his Werewolf identity, it usually appears in the first form as a mist.
Jerry's third form was a modification based on the characteristics of his own Patronus.
His Patronus is a Giant, both in size and strength, but its massive size often makes it cumbersome to use.
So, he developed the third form, which shrinks the Giant to the size of a normal human. While this reduces its strength by half, it significantly increases its agility.
In reality, even with their strength halved, Giants still possess power far beyond that of ordinary beings.
Just now, under Jerry's control, the Patronus delivered a single punch that knocked the Dementor to the ground, causing it to howl in agony as it absorbed Jerry's happiness.
Clearly, the unique power carried by the Patronus caused the Dementor immense pain.
However, Jerry didn't care about that. Without a moment's hesitation, he controlled the Patronus to ride the Dementor and unleashed a series of rapid punches, leaving only blurs in the air.
His principle when facing Dementors was simple: if you can't kill it, beat it to near death.
Because only by pushing the opponent to the brink of collapse could the success rate of forming a pact be significantly increased.
At this moment, the Dementor, being ridden and beaten by the Patronus, was on the verge of mental collapse. It had only greedily absorbed a bit of happiness, never expecting to end up in such a situation.
Unable to rise or escape, its racial abilities were completely ineffective against the Patronus. Each punch from the Patronus inflicted unbearable pain.
In just a few seconds, it felt its spirit was about to shatter.
"Almost there!"
Seeing the Dementor's howls growing weaker, Jerry felt it was time. He immediately stepped forward and pressed the Pact Array, which he had already drawn in his palm, onto the Dementor's head.
He feared that if he continued, the Patronus might really kill the Dementor.
"Done!"
Feeling the pact form, Jerry's face lit up with joy. Then, turning seriously to Harry and Hermione, he said:
"These Dementors attacked me, and I'm worried they might be problematic. Stay here and don't move. I'll drive them all out of the train!"
His plan, of course, wasn't just to form a pact with one Dementor. He intended to form pacts with all the Dementors in Azkaban.
Given the Dementors' abilities, he believed that even Thanos would find it difficult to endure being simultaneously drained by dozens of them.
While they couldn't drain him to death, they would certainly significantly reduce his thinking and reaction capabilities, effectively adding a powerful control effect.
"O-Okay!"
Harry, Hermione, and the others nodded woodenly as they watched Jerry and the glowing figure he had summoned drag the nearly lifeless Dementor out of the train car.
What had they just witnessed? They had seen the terrifying Dementors, rumored to be among the most fearsome dark creatures, almost beaten to death by a glowing figure summoned by Jerry. Now, Jerry was going to use that figure to clear out the remaining Dementors.
This was simply too hard for any Witch to believe.
"I know! That was the Patronus Charm. I read about it in a book. Only the most powerful defensive spell, the Patronus Charm, can defeat Dementors!"
At this moment, Hermione seemed to have a sudden realization and quickly explained to everyone.
"What? Jerry just used the Patronus Charm? Jerry actually learned the Patronus Charm? Merlin, this is incredible!"
Ron couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Is the Patronus Charm that difficult?"
Harry, who had never heard of the Patronus Charm, looked puzzled at Ron's reaction.
At this, Ginny, who was standing beside Hermione, whispered:
"Mom told me that the Patronus Charm is the highest-level and most powerful spell. In the Witch world, only those with true talent can learn it."
