Hogwarts: What Bad Intentions Could a Little Hufflepuff Have? Chapter 19

The Supreme Spellcasting Technique thrilled Black even more.

As the system finished installing the Supreme Spellcasting Technique,

Black immediately felt the difference.

Casting spells seemed to have become much easier for him.

Spells that had previously required him to strain with all his might to cast

could now be cast with ease!

In other words,

it was like gaining a permanent buff.

"Greatly increased casting speed!"

"Greatly increased spell power!"

"Greatly reduced cooldown!"

"Greatly reduced magical power consumption!"

After all, for wizards to cast spells,

knowing the incantation alone was not enough.

Young wizards learning a new spell

had to follow the proper steps

and do exactly as the textbooks taught.

The pauses between the incantation's syllables,

as well as the path traced by the Wand...

Both had to be perfect

to achieve the best casting effect.

If anything went wrong,

the spell might fail to work

or even cause an accident!

Although Black had successfully cast many spells before

thanks to his own talent,

he did not know much about technique or syllable pauses.

So while he could cast the spells,

their power was not particularly great.

That was why he had needed to run when he first encountered the Concealment Monster.

He had defeated that Concealment Monster later

only because his magical power had received an enormous boost,

allowing him to crush it by force.

But now,

with this Supreme Spellcasting Technique,

Black's weakness would be completely eliminated!

If Black's original casting technique had been a tiny water pipe,

then it had now become a great river.

Casting spells was smooth and unhindered!

The current Black,

no matter how profound the spell,

could cast it successfully on his first try as long as he knew the incantation!

If Black had obtained the Supreme Spellcasting Technique earlier,

then even if his magical power had not increased in the slightest,

he could still have utterly defeated that Concealment Monster.

After excitedly testing several advanced spells,

Black finally turned his gaze to the last Treasure Chest.

The Supreme Treasure Chest!

"System! Open the Supreme Treasure Chest!"

Black was so excited that his voice trembled slightly.

The rewards from those Gold Treasure Chests and Silver Treasure Chests

were already this outrageous.

What kind of outrageous treasure would the highest-quality Supreme Treasure Chest

contain?

"Ding! Opening Supreme Treasure Chest!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Ancient Magic!"

"Buzz!"

Black discovered that learning a skill from opening this Treasure Chest was completely different from before.

A deep-purple, eerie ball of light suddenly appeared,

quietly floating before Black.

It looked like an eerie ghostly flame!

"Ancient Magic?"

Though Black felt somewhat puzzled,

he still extended his right hand toward the flame-like sphere of light.

"Whoosh!"

Before his right hand could even touch the flame,

it was as though the flame had been drawn in by Black's hand.

It sank into his palm!

The next second,

Black felt his entire body shudder.

Then,

his azure eyes suddenly turned an eerie purple!

Black felt heat surge through his entire body,

as if he had been soaked in hot water!

Only after quite some time

did the sensation completely fade.

By then,

Black's eyes had returned to their original azure color.

At that moment,

a new piece of knowledge had appeared in Black's mind.

At the same time, he could sense an additional power within his body.

It was a power completely different from his own magical power!

After carefully reviewing the new knowledge in his mind,

Black finally understood what Ancient Magic was!

Ancient Magic, simply put,

was an extremely simple offensive spell.

It had only one greatest feature.

Its attack power was absolute!

So absolute that it could ignore defenses!

Among the knowledge that had appeared in Black's mind,

there was a sentence describing this spell.

It was...

"You can slaughter your opponent in any way you can imagine!"

There were also

three images within that knowledge.

They seemed to be demonstrations of this magic.

There was a blurry black figure whose appearance could not be made out clearly.

In the first image, it summoned lightning and struck its enemy into ashes.

In the second image, it shrank its enemy down to the size of an ant, then crushed them beneath its foot.

In the third image, it pointed with its Wand and instantly drained all the blood from its enemy!

It could be said that the greater one's imagination, the greater this magic's power!

However...

Precisely because this magic was so powerful,

its magical power consumption was also terrifying.

Even Black, whose magical power had now greatly increased

and who had mastered the Supreme Spellcasting Technique,

could only use it three times a day!

Black carefully sensed the powerful force within his body.

Then he said softly, "From now on, this will be my ultimate move!"

This Supreme Treasure Chest

had given Black his greatest trump card yet!

P.S.: I beg all you dear readers to feed me some data. Monthly votes, rating votes, flowers—if you have any left, throw them at me as hard as you can!

Tearjerker! Really! She Didn't Forget to Send Me Treasure Chests Even While at Home!

The morning sunlight was especially warm.

But Black felt that today's sunlight was a little scorching?

Black slowly opened his eyes.

Then he understood why he had felt hot.
