Chapter 343: Immortality and Returning to the Main World (First Update)
Chapter 343: Immortality and Returning to the Main World (First Update)
Mid-June 1994, the first night of summer break, in a room at the Leaky Cauldron.
After closing the door, Jerry leaped into the Box Space and sat cross-legged on the Merlin Array outside the villa.
Following previous tests, his Mage level had reached 299, just one level away from the 300 required for Immortality. This final level had held him back for over two months.
Today, he finally sensed the opportunity to break through.
If everything went as planned, he would reach level 300 tonight and truly attain Immortality.
Closing his eyes, he used the remaining few Red Stars to activate "Refresh Mind" and entered a meditative state.
The ambient energy outside was drawn into his body in large quantities through meditation. After a wondrous and complex process, it strengthened both his body and soul, transforming into the unique Magic Power of a Mage.
For a whole week, Jerry continued meditating without pause. Suddenly, a large amount of blue energy surged from his body, enveloping him like a cocoon.
This cocoon remained for three more days.
"Crack!"
After three days,
A sound like a breaking eggshell suddenly rang out. The blue energy cocoon that encased Jerry instantly dissipated into the air, as if it had never existed.
With the disappearance of the blue energy cocoon, Jerry slowly opened his eyes.
"Finally—Immortality!"
Feeling the reborn vitality of his body, Jerry couldn't help but break into a wide smile.
After breaking through to level 300, not only had his Magic Power increased significantly, but he felt that every cell in his body was brimming with energy and could be controlled at will.
Just like now.
With a mere thought, his body began to regress from a young adult to a five-year-old child in a few seconds.
Then, with another thought, his body rapidly grew back to its adult form, but he didn't stop there. He continued to manipulate his cells, advancing his body to middle age and then old age.
This wasn't an illusion; it was a capability automatically granted to Mages upon achieving Immortality.
They could control their cells to transform their bodies into any age, even back to infancy.
This is why, in the world of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, some Immortal Mages appear elderly, like Merlin, some are middle-aged, like Balthazar and Hogwarts, and some are youthful, like young men and women.
When a Mage breaks through to level 300, they can freely choose the age they wish to present to the world.
Those who prefer to look older can maintain an elderly appearance, while those who prefer to look younger can do so.
"Looks like it's time to go back!"
Reverting to his adult form, Jerry opened his panel and saw that he had fewer than a thousand Red Stars left, indicating it was time to return to the Main World.
During this year, he had frequently used the Time-Turner, which had rapidly depleted his Red Stars. Even though he had become more conservative later on, he still had only this much left.
However, the results were very rewarding.
Thanks to the Time-Turner, he had been able to attend classes, learn, and strengthen his knowledge of Magic in this world.
He had also been able to split his time to study potion brewing, alchemy enchanting, Spatial Magic, Time Magic, and more.
Now, Jerry can independently brew advanced potions like the Limb Regeneration Potion. He has also made significant progress in Alchemy. The twelve Robotic Soldiers can now move and dodge attacks by utilizing Spatial gaps, much like the Ministry of Magic's cars.
Regarding Time Magic, after consulting Dumbledore on the Hour Reversal Spell for the Time-Turner, and combining it with the time-attribute Freezing Charm and the principles of "Time" Magic, he has finally grasped some of the basics of Time Magic.
The Hour Reversal Spell is a spell that reverses time by five hours, but due to its extreme instability and danger, it must be used with the Sands of Time to maintain stability. These are the grains of sand found in the hourglass of the Time-Turner. According to the information he has gathered, the Sands of Time were discovered in Egyptian pyramids and are now entirely used by the Ministry of Magic to create Time-Turners, with no surplus remaining.
The Freezing Charm is a high-difficulty spell from the second-year textbook, primarily used to immobilize Muggle mechanical products and small creatures. It also involves a minor aspect of Time Magic.
Now, Jerry can use his self-created "Time" Magic to freeze time in a specific area, placing that area in a state of temporal stasis.
Of course, the larger the area and the longer the duration of the freeze, the more Magic Power it consumes.
However, since he has only grasped the basics, there are significant drawbacks when using "Time" Magic. He must remain completely focused and immobile, or the effect will immediately dissipate.
But he believes that with further research, he can gradually improve this.
The knowledge involved in Time Magic is extremely profound. Achieving true mastery is not something that can be done in a year or two; it requires extensive accumulation of related knowledge.
Exiting the Box Space, Jerry was about to open the Panel to return when an owl suddenly landed on the window of his room and dropped a Parchment Letter.
Picking up the letter, he recognized the sender as Mayer, the coach of the English Quidditch team, and immediately understood the contents.
Sure enough, the letter informed him of the location and time of the final match of the Quidditch World Cup.
Since the end of the Christmas holidays, Jerry has been setting aside one day every one to two weeks to play in the Quidditch World Cup elimination matches with the English Quidditch team.
Fortunately, he has a Time-Turner, otherwise, he wouldn't have had enough time, as not all the matches were scheduled on weekends.
There are over fifty teams worldwide, and they compete in a series of matches to advance. Just before the end of the school term, the semi-finals were completed, and the final two teams, Ireland and England, were determined.
Yes, with Jerry, the seeker who has never lost, the England team has advanced all the way, defeating the Bulgaria Team and securing a place in the finals.
According to Mayer's letter, the final will be held in England on August 22nd. By then, the Ministry of Magic will have just completed the Super Quidditch Stadium, which can accommodate ten thousand witches.
"Alright, I'll wait until I return to attend the final."
He tossed some food to the owl, waited for it to leave, and then reopened the Panel, clicking the return button.
After a moment of dizziness, he found himself back in the villa in Queens, New York.
