Pink Fuzzy Rabbit Killed the Troll!

Specks of pink light glittered like tiny, dazzling gems. The Pink Starlight Particles seemed to have been summoned, rapidly spreading over Dylan and the two people beside him.

Then, within the dreamlike pink halo, the three figures gradually blurred. Their originally clear outlines slowly vanished, quietly blending into the surrounding environment.

"This is a Wand Flash Charm I've been researching. With this kind of special effect, it makes my spells even more powerful."

Dylan really wasn't lying.

He had discovered that whenever he used a spell without trying to activate these special effects, he always felt as though something was missing.

But as long as he didn't deliberately suppress the Pink Starlight Particle Effect when casting a spell, he would feel exceptionally smooth, and the spell's power would also increase slightly.

Dylan guessed that this was probably a hidden effect of Wand Beautification.

After all, although the system had only said that spending Galleons could directly change his wand's skin,

it had never said that a spell's power wouldn't increase slightly after the skin was changed, had it?

This discovery gave Dylan an urge to pour all his money into Wand Beautification.

However, he was also worried that if his wand were beautified too extravagantly, the professors would hound him with questions whenever he discussed problems with them.

So Dylan still planned to wait until a short holiday, or the Summer Holiday and winter break, to experiment extensively with Galleons while studying spells alone.

"Good heavens..." Ron stared at his hand, which seemed to have vanished, and was somewhat stunned.

Dylan even knew such an advanced spell?

Were they all really first-year Hogwarts students?

Harry poked his head out and looked toward the area above the corridor.

"It looked like Professor Snape just passed by. The direction he went... should be the Fourth Floor."

Harry seemed somewhat hesitant. "What is Professor Snape going to the Fourth Floor for?"

Dylan glanced upward.

Hmm... if I had the chance to get the Philosopher's Stone...

"I want to go up and take a look," Harry suddenly said.

"Hm?" Dylan was somewhat surprised. "No way. Don't tell me you're not worried about Hermione encountering the Troll again?"

Harry paused.

"All right, if Professor Snape finds out you're doing something this dangerous, he'll skin you alive."

Dylan didn't want to waste any more time. As he walked forward, he said, "I'm not proficient enough with this spell yet. The Disillusionment Charm could dissipate at any moment, so we need to hurry."

Ron glanced at Dylan, then at his nearly transparent hand. "Not proficient enough?"

Then what counted as proficient?

His lips tightened.

Maybe Hermione hadn't been entirely wrong about him, after all...

The two quickly caught up with Dylan.

The three of them entered the classroom corridor.

Dylan immediately frowned.

"What a disgusting smell."

A pungent, nauseating stench clawed at his nose hairs and drilled straight into his nasal cavity.

"Buddle-Head Charm!"

Another burst of Pink Starlight Particles flashed past, and Dylan's head was enclosed in a ring of transparent bubbles.

At the same time, the stench was expelled through the bubbles.

"Hey! What kind of spell is that?" Ron's eyes widened.

"I already told you its name," Dylan said before rushing into the Girls' Lavatory.

A huge, ugly Troll was currently facing away from him.

It was slowly dragging its heavy body past one cubicle after another, its enormous nose periodically approaching the cubicles and sniffing hard at the air inside, as if searching for something.

Dylan's eyes narrowed.

The sound of Dylan bursting through the lavatory door startled the Troll. Its sluggish movements stopped instantly, and it suddenly turned around. The moment it saw Dylan, its pair of bell-like eyes widened even further.

"Roar!"

"Who are you roaring at?"

Dylan turned his wand without hesitation.

"Crucio!"

Suddenly, a dazzling mass of Pink Starlight Particles shot from the tip of his wand and reached the Troll in the blink of an eye.

The pink starlight instantly enveloped the Troll's enormous body.

The moment those pink particles burrowed into the Troll's body, its furious expression froze. Then its face twisted, and it let out an agonized wail.

"Aagh!"

The Troll's thick limbs began flailing uncontrollably. It hammered its own chest again and again, trying to break free from the torment of the stabbing pain.

Harry and Ron arrived behind Dylan at that moment. Seeing the Troll's appearance, both of them looked shocked.

"What kind of spell is that this time?"

"Soul Stab Charm."

Dylan casually made up a name.

Then, while the Troll still hadn't recovered, he raised his wand again.

He shouted.

"Incendio!"

At the same time, he silently recited in his heart:

Fiendfyre Curse!

As one of the six max-level Dark Magic spells Dylan had mastered,

Fiendfyre Curse actually didn't require a wand at all. He could cast it wandlessly.

He also didn't need to recite the incantation aloud.

Therefore, Harry and Ron only heard Dylan shout "Incendio."

The next moment, Dylan's wand erupted with an intensely dazzling mass of Pink Starlight Particles!

The particles seemed to possess a life of their own. They rapidly gathered and spun, transforming in the blink of an eye into a...

Pink Fuzzy Rabbit!

"Squeak!"

The sound of flames crackling rang out.

The pink rabbit's entire body burned with blazing flames. Its ears stood straight up, its ruby-like eyes radiated an eerie light, and its mouth gaped open, revealing sharp fangs gleaming with firelight.

The Troll was startled by the sudden pink flaming rabbit.

Its heart was already twitching with pain.

The rabbit had already leaped toward it.

A distinctly human look of terror appeared on the Troll's face.

"Boom!"

The Pink Fuzzy Rabbit bit down on the Troll's neck and clung tightly to its body.

The flames formed from Pink Starlight Particles continued scorching the Troll's flesh, sizzling loudly. The smell of charred skin and flesh mixed with the Troll's stench.

Harry and Ron didn't have the bubbles around Dylan's head. When they smelled it, their throats convulsed, and they immediately turned away and vomited.

"Ugh!"

Dylan's eyes flashed.

"Incendio!"

Avada Kedavra!

Another Pink Fuzzy Rabbit shot from the tip of Dylan's wand. This rabbit was much smaller, and far cuter.

It moved incredibly fast.

Before Harry and Ron had finished vomiting, it had already zipped onto the Troll's shoulder.

"Squeak~"

The Pink Starlight Fuzzy Rabbit tilted its head. Then it pushed off with both hind legs and plunged directly into the Troll's brain.

"Roar..."

The Troll's scream came to an abrupt halt.

Its movements froze as well. The light vanished from its eyes, and its life force ebbed away like the tide.

"Boom!"

Its enormous body fell rigidly to the ground, making the entire lavatory tremble three times.

Ron finally came back to his senses. He wiped his mouth with one hand and opened his eyes wide.

"Good heavens, the Pink Fuzzy Rabbit killed the Troll?!"
