Chapter 020

Devil's Island, Sirius Black (he) lay on the ground outside the dilapidated Azkaban Prison, filled with regret.

Not long ago, a batch of Dementors were killed by the Mysterious Person (he), nearly causing a riot. As a result, the Ministry of Magic (he) people didn't even consider replacing the guards in Azkaban. They merely set up many remote monitoring magical items on Devil's Island.

This prevented him from going out for fresh air for many days. If this continued, he would also be driven mad by the Dementors.

Fortunately, he had already figured out most of the surveillance range. Soon, he would be able to avoid these surveillance measures and continue to enjoy the sea breeze.

Just then, Sirius Black (he), who had transformed into a black dog, heard a whistling sound with his keen hearing.

It wasn't the sound of the wind. Was this the sound of a Flying Broomstick?

Sirius Black (he) immediately got up. The Ministry of Magic (he) people wouldn't be riding Flying Broomsticks to Azkaban.

He ran to a high point of Azkaban Castle, but he couldn't see anything in the sky.

Only the Dementors on the island seemed to have discovered something and were converging in the sky from all directions.

Above Azkaban Castle, Li Mu's (he) memories began to flash back.

Because of Hypermnesia, he wouldn't forget anything he had experienced. As long as he was willing to think about it, he could recall and empathize with the joys and sorrows he had experienced even more than ten years ago. At this moment, his mind was filled with all the beautiful and happy memories.

Expecto Patronum!

Li Mu (he) waved his wand, and the mist emanating from the tip of his wand formed a black phoenix.

This was the Patronus Charm summoned by the Patronus Charm, one of the oldest and most powerful defensive spells in the Wizarding World. Only by concentrating on recalling the happiest and most beautiful moments in one's life could a very small number of wizards cast this spell. However, for him, it was as easy as eating and drinking.

Because he didn't need to concentrate; his memories could instantly return to the happiest moments of his life.

Wizards in this world were like this. The power of many spells was related to the mind.

If one's heart was filled with love, casting spells like the Patronus Charm would yield twice the result with half the effort.

If one's heart was filled with killing intent, casting those dark magic spells would be like a fish in water.

Therefore, the occupational seed he obtained was that of a Mind Wizard (he), not a Bloodline Wizard (he).

The black phoenix Patronus flew towards the Dementors. Wherever it passed, the Dementors were dispersed. The Patronus was the nemesis of the Dementors. Although it was difficult to kill Dementors unless the Patronus reached a certain level of strength, it was not a problem to temporarily hold them back.

Li Mu (he) began to cast another spell, casting the Fidelius Charm on the entire Devil's Island.

This magic could store a secret forever in the soul of a living being. As long as the person who stored the secret, the Secret Keeper, did not reveal it, even the ceiling of wizards in this world, Dumbledore (he) and Voldemort (he), would find it difficult to discover the secret hidden by the Fidelius Charm.

This secret could be an event, an object, or a building, and naturally, it could also be an island.

The Fidelius Charm was difficult to learn, and the larger the secret hidden, the greater the consumption.

Hiding the entire Devil's Island as a secret was something even Voldemort and Dumbledore couldn't achieve together.

But these were not problems for him. The Kindling Tome allowed him to instantly learn the Fidelius Charm obtained from Snape. The Spark Energy continuously converted into magic power, making his magic inexhaustible. If he couldn't hide the entire Devil's Island at once, he would hide it in parts.

In just a few minutes, the entire Devil's Island was covered by the Fidelius Charm.

It was secretly hidden in the heart of the Werewolf Wizard, who had been taken into the Phoenix. There was absolutely no possibility of leaks.

So, even if Dumbledore came now, he wouldn't be able to step foot on Devil's Island.

Li Mu didn't rush to hunt Dementors. Instead, he cast various spells on them repeatedly.

Because of his Wizard Bloodline, it was about to upgrade.

Unlike the Wizard Bloodlines in this world, which were fixed from birth, his Wizard Bloodline had a low starting point but a terrifyingly high growth ceiling. The more spells he mastered, and the higher the level of the spells he mastered, the faster his Wizard Bloodline would grow.

Thanks to the Kindling Tome, he had already mastered a vast number of spells.

What he needed to do now was to release these spells through his Wizard Bloodline to stimulate its growth.

In less than half an hour of spell bombardment, his Wizard Bloodline had been upgraded to LV2.

Li Mu continued, ignoring the wizards flying overhead near Devil's Island. These wizards rushing from the British Ministry of Magic couldn't see through the Fidelius Charm, so as long as he didn't leave Devil's Island, he didn't have to worry about being surrounded.

As time passed, the Dementors, who were being beaten unilaterally, finally realized Li Mu's terrifying power.

They began to fear and tried to escape Devil's Island.

These were all HuoZhong Source Power. Li Mu knew it was time to end his spell practice.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Li Mu flicked his wand, unleashing the most terrifying Killing Curse among all the dark magic in this world.

A black-green light flashed and hit a Dementor. Although it caused no visible wound, the Dementor's life was instantly taken, as if the Grim Reaper had claimed its life along with the Killing Curse.

Li Mu estimated that the damage of the Killing Curse, amplified by his Kindling Wand, was at least thirty points.

This was still because his Wizard Bloodline level was low and his magic power was not strong enough. Otherwise, the damage of the Killing Curse would have been even higher. It was no wonder the Killing Curse had become the ceiling for all damaging spells in this world, feared by all wizards.

Although the Killing Curse was powerful, killing Dementors one by one consumed a lot of energy and was slow.

Li Mu immediately waved his wand and cast another dark magic, the Fiendfyre Curse. The black Fiendfyre was initially just a small patch, but it quickly grew larger with continuous input of magic power. Finally, the Fiendfyre formed into black fire phoenixes that pounced on the Dementors.

All the Dementors that came into contact with the Fiendfyre were instantly burned to ashes by these flames.

Although its reputation among dark magic was far inferior to the Killing Curse, this was only because it was difficult for Fiendfyre to hit its target, and Fiendfyre had counter-spells. Excluding the difficulty of hitting enemies, purely in terms of destructive power, Fiendfyre was even above the Killing Curse.

In just a moment, all the escaping Dementors had been burned to ashes.

And these Hellfires, which had burned the Dementors to death, not only suffered no loss, but instead grew much stronger by burning the Dementors and devouring the magic within their bodies. As a result, Li Mu was now in a predicament, unable to control so much Hellfire.

This was the terrifying aspect of the dark magic in this world; the more powerful the dark magic, the harder it was to control.

If it weren't for the Kindling Wand reducing the casting difficulty of spells by 300%, he would have already lost control of this Hellfire.

"If I can't control it, then I won't."

Li Mu instantly released his control over the vast majority of the Hellfire, and a rain of fire immediately descended upon Devil's Island.

The Azkaban prison on the entire island was covered by the Hellfire. The prisoners held there, who had lost their wands, were unable to mount any effective resistance against the Hellfire. The vast majority of them, along with Azkaban, became fuel for the strengthened Hellfire.
