A New Companion-Future Me

The Selma Lake Monster was clearly unaware that the little human behind it was somewhat angry. It emitted a shrill, hoarse sound, and the water flow, under its control, transformed into a giant snake helmet.

The helmet enveloped the lake monster, its massive mouth gaping open, and the surrounding water forming sharp teeth.

Then, it pounced and bit!

"Trace Flash— " Sean's figure disappeared again.

The Selma Lake Monster immediately integrated its senses into the water flow and instantly located an obstacle behind it.

Without turning its head, it fiercely swung its tail. This attack was not a hasty one like last time. The Selma Lake Monster used its considerable intelligence to immediately make a judgment—that the little creature would be completely incapacitated by this attack.

Then, I will be able to enjoy the fresh flesh and blood that I haven't smelled in so long.

However, to the surprise of the Selma Lake Monster, its confident tail whipping did not encounter any resistance, but instead crashed directly into the wall.

Immediately afterwards, it noticed the rocks above it shaking violently before crashing down!

"Deprimo!" Sean, holding a magic wand, revealed himself.

The impact of the boulder was weakened by the water flow, and Sean knew that his collapsed house could only hinder the Selma Lake Monster for a moment at most, and could not really kill it.

So without hesitation, he immediately cast another Gravity Charm, but the target was not the Selma Lake Monster, but the sinking boulder.

As soon as the spell was cast, the momentum of the falling boulder suddenly increased, and the Selma Lake Monster, which was already struggling to escape, was slammed down hard.

That wasn't all. Sean then pointed his wand at the ground beneath the lake monster, and the Excavation Charm was activated.

"Defodio (Defodio)"

The cave floor exploded open, and together with the giant rock above which was enchanted with Gravity Charm, it completely buried the Selma Lake Monster in a large crater.

The lake monster's painful roars sounded faint and heavy in the water, and huge bubbles kept gushing out from the cracks in the rocks.

But Sean wasn't going to give them any chance to fight back.

The Selma Lake Monster is clearly a creature with extremely high Magic Resistance, and spells alone cannot quickly subdue it, so Sean chose to use physical methods to defeat it.

With a wave of his wand, he used his most proficient Transfiguration.

The two largest boulders buried on the lake monster's back twisted and turned into giant stone hands!

Sean continuously channeled his magic, his large hand stirring up water under his control before gripping the Selma Lake Monster's neck tightly.

The lake monster finally felt intense pain and an inescapable pressure. It struggled frantically, causing the entire cave to shake.

However, the rock Sean with Gravity Charm and the pit beneath it formed a natural prison that could not be moved no matter how frantically it twisted.

The giant rock hands held the Basilisk firmly in their grasp despite Sean's relentless magical attacks, without wavering in the slightest.

The Selma Lake Monster finally let out a painful howl.

Sean touched his throbbing ribs, a flash of annoyance in his eyes.

He swam to the head of the Selma Lake Monster, whose once enormous head was now buried under a pile of rocks. The surrounding water snake head tried to attack Sean, but was shattered by a sudden swing of its left hand.

"Disobedient brat..." Sean snorted.

His left hand rapidly transformed into black particles in the water, almost merging with it.

Under Sean's control, the power of the Obscurus continued to twist and merge. Moreover, perhaps because there were too many Undead here, Sean clearly felt the magic's exhilaration when he became an Obscurus.

The lake water is imbued with dark and negative forces.

Sean didn't hold back either, frantically using the power of the Obscurus to draw in and attract the surrounding darkness and negativity.

Then, a huge black snake tail gradually took shape in the water.

Sean directly imitated the thick tail of the Selma Lake Monster using the Obscurus.

Whether the lake monster sensed danger or smelled something amiss in the water, its struggles became increasingly violent.

However, just as its head broke free from the obstruction of a pile of rubble, it saw a somewhat illusory black water snake tail slam down hard onto its head!

A deep, thud echoed throughout the cave.

The Selma Lake Monster's head had only peeked out a little when it was Obscurus slapped back down. This Magical Creatures, practically invincible at the bottom of the lake, felt dizzy and disoriented, and a dark, magical force was corroding its scales.

"Roar—" The lake monster instinctively let out a Wrath roar.

It was met with yet another devastating blow from the Obscurus!

Furthermore, Sean deliberately incorporated the Obscurus's unique corrosive power into the massive magical attack.

The Selma Lake Monster has high Magic Resistance and a large size, Sean planned to use this continuous attack to frantically weaken its defenses—he didn't believe that once the scales started to fall off, the white flesh could still withstand the Obscurus's magical strikes.

"Roar—" Obscurus knocked the lake monster back down again.

"Roar—" The Selma Lake Monster's head was smashed into the ground.

Time and again, the fleshy whiskers on the lake monster's head could no longer flutter as usual, and large patches of its scales had fallen off, with blood seeping into the surrounding lake water.

With one hand, Sean used his wand to manipulate his Transfiguration to firmly restrain his opponent, while with the other hand, he transformed into the Obscurus and continuously launched the same attacks that his opponent could not retaliate against.

At the same time, he was even replaying the other person's cries in his mind.

The Beast Speaker skill is only at a basic level, and it takes a considerable amount of time to understand the meaning expressed by Magical Creatures that you have never seen before—this also depends on how intelligent the Magical Creatures is.

Anyway, Sean has never communicated with the Flobberworm.

Although the Selma Lake Monster could dominate any body of water in the world, it wouldn't stand a chance against Sean.

Sean kept hammering the lake monster into the pit, enjoying himself immensely.

The Selma Lake Monster's hiss grew softer and softer until it was just a faint hiss.

Sean, still not entirely convinced, gave it a few more taps before Obscurus withdrawing his hand.

The Selma Lake Monster lay motionless in the ground, its long tongue flicking out and retracting, emitting an extremely faint sound.

This time, Sean finally understood the general meaning of the lake monster's words.

"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him..."

Sean raised an eyebrow and aimed his wand at his ribs, firing a green spell.

If other wizards were here, they would probably be terrified. Who would cast Killing Curse on themselves?

However, this curse was actually Healing Spell that Grindelwald taught to Sean, and it was the precursor to the Killing Curse.

The broken ribs felt much better, with only some lingering pain remaining. However, the bones still needed a more skilled healer to heal them; this was just a way for him to feel better.

After doing all this, Sean slowly swam to the top of the Selma Lake Monster's head and waved his wand to lift up a few rocks.

"Awooo—(Do you still want to eat me?)" Sean let out a rough hiss. Although the Selma Lake Monster looked like a giant snake, it couldn't communicate with the Parseltongue.

"Ugh—(I won't eat anymore, I won't eat anymore, please let me go... let me take the egg, this place is yours)" The Selma Lake Monster's vertical pupils clearly showed fear and grievance.

"This is my place—my teacher's place is mine, and I'll most likely inherit his legacy in the future," Sean muttered.

He then looked at the Selma Lake Monster, which looked horribly mutilated. Sean had initially been furious and hadn't held back.

However, judging from the lake monster's previous behavior, it is probably very resilient, and these injuries are not considered fatal.

Sean swam unsteadily to the eyes of the Selma Lake Monster, whose head involuntarily shrank back, and a human-like look of fear appeared in its vertical pupils.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? You just have a bad temper and won't listen to advice. Now you've just gotten this beating for nothing!" Sean kicked the other person in annoyance.

The lake monster was even more frightened.

"Don't back down, come here, calm down a bit—hey, right, like this—tsk, why are you shaking, I won't hit you!—come on, open your eyes—hey, good girl, that's right, that's right, relax—look at me, look into my eyes..."

Sean's tone gradually softened from stern, and a seductive quality slowly began to emanate from him.

However, the Selma Lake Monster seemed quite afraid of him. Following Sean's instructions, it moved its head forward slightly, raising it abruptly, its vertical pupils wide open—it didn't resemble a ferocious giant snake, but rather a frightened girl about to be defiled by a villain...

"Pah!" Sean threw the stupid idea out of his head and shook his head.

He slowly approached, then slightly widened his eyes, meeting the panicked gaze of the Selma Lake Monster.

The +10 Magical Creature Affinity immediately had a huge effect.

Gradually, the Selma Lake Monster, whose body had been restless and agitated due to various emotions, stopped writhing and stared blankly at Sean.

A sense of intimacy and familiarity slowly welled up within me.

Sean gradually sensed the emotions of the Selma Lake Monster: irritability, resentment, fear, worry, and so on.

Finally, the Selma Lake Monster let out a very small hiss and nuzzled Sean's palm with its large head.

Sean grinned, and a string of bubbles appeared on his face.

This guy got a beating, and he was tamed even faster than when Sean tamed Pudding.

After removing the lake monster's restraints, Sean tossed it some Magical Creatures healing herbs amidst its somewhat aggrieved hiss.

After a series of actions, the once terrifying lake monster was now stuck to Sean and refused to leave.

Moreover, this guy's attitude is quite different from Pudding and the Pudding. In the eyes of Pudding, Naja and other Magical Creatures, Sean has two identities: friend and master, with the friend role taking up a larger proportion.

However, judging from the attitude of the Selma Lake Monster, it has already regarded Sean as its master—in fact, the lake monster seems even happier when Sean sometimes kicks it lightly because it gets too close.

Sean thought to himself, "This guy might have masochistic tendencies..."

Through his conversation with the other party, Sean finally learned that the Selma Lake Monster was born here.

According to the other party's description, she emerged from a strange place with mountains and water. She got lost while wandering around and eventually swam into a lake.

Upon seeing so many Inferi as "food," the lake monster decided to settle down there.

The Selma Lake Monster is a Magical Creatures that can reproduce asexually. It—no, I should say she—after eating Inferi in this lake for decades, finally decided to reproduce.

That's how that egg came about.

"This cave should have always been here. You've been here so long, have you noticed anything amiss?" Sean hadn't forgotten his main purpose for coming here.

The Selma Lake Monster nodded, then pointed its tail in one direction.

"Ugh—(That place, I think that's where I was born)"

Where was the lake monster born? Sean frowned.

Logically speaking, the Selma Lake Monster is a Norway specialty...

Sean swam toward that spot for a while, and then spotted something familiar.

A crevice in the rock was concealed by magic, a unique technique that Grindelwald had once taught him!

Passing through the narrow crevice that could only allow one person to pass at a time, Sean was astonished to find a small space inside, and all the lake water was blocked out.

"Well hidden, old man..."

Sean saw a stone platform in the center of the flat ground, and on the ancient stone platform was a small crystal bottle containing thick, pale silver memories.

"It seems this is the memory used to persuade Young Grindelwald..."

Sean carefully put the glass bottle away, then looked at another object on the stone platform with a puzzled expression.

It should have been a parchment package, but now the package is broken, revealing a hint of crimson inside.

Sean blew away the pieces of parchment with his wand, then his eyes widened!

It was a ring... exactly the same ring as the one on my finger!

Did Grindelwald bring this ring with him?

Sean stepped forward and discovered a note underneath the ring.

The moment Sean opened the note, he froze on the spot.

This wasn't Grindelwald's flamboyant cursive, but Sean was still intimately familiar with it—no, no one in the world knew the handwriting better than him.

This is his own handwriting!

Because of his father's dream of becoming an aristocrat, Sean learned the ES font from a young age. The strokes are sharp yet elegant, and Sean also likes to add some uncommon cursive strokes.

Sean is all too familiar with this handwriting!

Filled with shock and excitement, Sean looked at the parchment.

"Something was left in the ring, but remember, you can only go in and check it after the teacher's time travel accident is over."

Sean's pupils contracted sharply, which meant that his 1996 self on that Timeline had not died in battle or become Sin as he had expected.

He even knew Grindelwald's plan and had him bring the ring back!

What message will my future self, from different Timeline, convey to me?
