Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 209 The Broken Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the Battle Situation Changing in an Instant!

The long banner absorbed Mo Xuan's blood and life force, and the ghost king patterns embroidered on the banner shone brightly, radiating a rich, blood-black brilliance that disappeared into the half-body ghost king in front of it.

The next second, the Ghost King's lower body rapidly grew out, transforming him into a complete Ghost King.

Its ferocity increased exponentially; with just a ghostly howl directed towards Dali, it caused much of Dali's wave-like protective energy to dissipate.

"Just because the tiger doesn't roar doesn't mean I'm afraid of you, you useless piece of trash who only relies on magic weapons! I'll destroy you! Orca Guardian, charge!"

'Dali' launched into a long verbal attack on the Ghost King and Mo Xuan from the air, and while talking, he also commanded the orca guardians that had been surrounding him to attack.

Mo Xuan, who had exhausted his life force to unleash his full power, naturally wouldn't let Dali go either, and he also commanded the Ghost King, now in its complete form, to pounce on him.

This made things much easier for Nagini, the giant snake in the dense forest below.

The Demon King devoted most of his energy to dealing with Dudley's orca guardian, leaving only his nimble, sharp demon tail to keep holding the giant snake Nagini.

This is much easier to deal with than the Ghost Claw.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Suddenly, in front of the giant snake Nagini in the dense forest, Dali's figure appeared.

Moreover, after Dudley appeared, without saying a word, he pointed his finger at the giant snake Nagini and unleashed a full-force, precise killing curse.

At the same time, he tossed Smetine's staff, transforming it into a two-meter-tall armored warrior wielding a giant sword, to parry the demon king's agile and sharp demon tail.

"mean!"

"Shit!"

A voice in Chinese and a voice in the soulful essence of English resounded almost simultaneously.

The Chinese language was emitted by Mo Xuan in the sky, while the English language, the essence of Chinese culture, was emitted by Voldemort's split soul within Nagini's body.

This divided soul indeed possesses its own thoughts and memories!

He created a magical illusion in his own image to confuse Mo Xuan, then secretly used the Illusion Charm to conceal himself and quickly flew in front of the giant snake Nagini. He then used the Precision Killing Charm to ambush Dudley, Voldemort's split soul, confirming his previous thoughts.

Unfortunately, the Killing Curse still failed to kill Voldemort's split soul. Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, the noseless monster grabbed Nagini's own soul to take the blame for him.

Fortunately, Dudley's Killing Curse had been honed to the point where he could kill whomever he wanted without harming the innocent.

After striking Nagini's soul, it had no effect on Nagini's soul.

However, the Killing Curse was weakened, so much so that after passing through Nagini's soul and striking Voldemort's split soul, it was not enough to directly send Voldemort's split soul into the world of death behind the veil.

Therefore, according to the rules of the Killing Curse, it instead caused some damage to Nagini's serpent body.

"Little foreigner, you're quite cunning! You've even resorted to the art of feigning an attack while secretly advancing another!"

The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, who was in the sky, noticed Dali's little trick and descended with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

In the air, Dali's orca guardian suffered a defeat in its first battle, being relentlessly hammered by the fully-fledged Ghost King. It was only through its slippery, high-speed swimming and flying posture that it was able to temporarily hold off the Ghost King.

This was still based on the fact that the Demon King was distracted and used his tail to deal with the tall, armored sword-wielding warrior that Dudley had created using Transfiguration.

This Ghost King, or rather, the tattered Myriad Souls Banner in the hands of the Ghost Cultivator Mo Xuan, is still exceptionally powerful.

"Professors, and Sirius, help me stop this man!"

Ignoring Mo Xuan's provocation, Dali shouted loudly in English.

"Hey foreigner, why are you speaking gibberish again?" Mo Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled, before a sudden sense of unease and alarm went off.

He hurriedly activated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to release the ghostly energy of the Yin spirits to protect his body.

"He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!"

"Torn apart!"

"Crushed to pieces!"

"The house collapsed and the ground subsided!"

In the blink of an eye, four powerful demonic spells attacked from behind several large trees, striking directly at the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's ghost energy defensive shield.

An explosive burst of magical energy erupted, instantly shattering Mo Xuan's defenses.

Professor Flitwick's 'Collapse and Earth Collapse' spell caused a small earthquake around Mo Xuan, creating a large crater in the ground that swallowed him whole.

This small earthquake also made the giant snake Nagini, which was not far away, feel numb and weak. Dudley, who was floating in mid-air, used a binding spell to condense a strong rope to bind it.

Dudley was planning to use the Precision Killing Curse again to destroy the Voldemort fragment inside Nagini's body, as a way to practice removing the soul fragments from the Horcruxes in advance.

Even if Nagini is killed now, he can be easily resurrected once Dudley obtains the conceptualized Restoration Charm.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt a momentary daze. This time, it wasn't a daze caused by the shock of hearing Chinese, but rather a genuine mental attack.

The soul within Nagini, the giant snake, and the split soul of Voldemort, along with the snake-catching team members further away, all shook their heads and looked pained.

In comparison, Dali was the least affected.

At the same time, the snake-catching team members, including Dali, began to radiate the counterattack light of the protective magic of love. One after another, invisible mental attacks were reflected back and headed straight for the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan in the crack.

"what--"

Mo Xuan let out a miserable scream.

However, he had the SS-grade magical item - the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner - protecting him. The explosion damage just now hadn't caused him too much trouble, let alone dealing with mental attacks, which he was more adept at. So he just screamed in pain, but in terms of injuries, he was fine.

Yes, that long banner was rated SS-level by Dali's external system.

Although the description suggests it's not top-tier among SS-grade magical items, don't forget that the banner is damaged. Even damaged items are SS-grade; if it were intact, it might even be worthy of a SSS-grade artifact.

More importantly, that long banner is a deadly magic weapon designed for extracting and refining souls, raising ghosts and controlling spirits, and is extremely powerful. It is not like the Sorting Hat, which is a useless SS-rank weapon.

Dali knew how powerful this thing was, and that the evil fellow from another world, Mo Xuan, could unleash the full power of the Myriad Soul Banner by sacrificing his life, which is why he didn't choose to confront it head-on.

Even if Mo Xuan sacrificed a year of his lifespan, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

If Mo Xuan were to sacrifice another five or eight years of his lifespan, Dali fears that one or two of the old professors he brought would perish here.

"Ignite! I have lived ten years! Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, sacrifice! Demon King, merge with me!"

From within the underground fissure came Mo Xuan's ruthless voice.

Upon hearing this, Dali's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted in English to his four teammates who didn't understand Chinese, "Retreat! Use the Guardian Charm to protect yourselves while you retreat!"

The three professors and Sirius sensed the urgency in Dudley's words. Without asking any further questions, they quickly retreated as instructed, and at the same time used the Patronus Charm to release their respective Patronus.

Due to the influence of the energy field of the Myriad Souls Banner, they cannot use Phantom Shift here. The love protection magic that the four of them cast on each other on their way here also lost its effectiveness after reflecting the mental attack that Mo Xuan had just launched.

The current strategy of fighting and retreating simultaneously is the safest approach.
