Chapter 021
On the edge of Devil's Island, a dozen prisoners who had narrowly escaped the Fiendfyre's incineration watched Li Mu in terror.
Among them was Sirius Black. The last time he saw the Mysterious Person, he could only ambush Dementors one by one. Now, after only a little over a month, he could cast the Fidelius Charm to hide the entire Devil's Island and cast the Fiendfyre Curse to incinerate the whole of Azkaban.
Li Mu was preparing to send them on their final journey. He had no intention of taking these survivors in.
Apart from Sirius, these prisoners were all Death Eaters, loyal to Voldemort. Their lives were controlled by Voldemort. Even if such beings knelt and begged for mercy, he wouldn't dare to take them. As for Sirius, he could only blame himself for knowing too much.
However, before he could act, Li Mu suddenly looked towards Azkaban, which had been destroyed by the Fiendfyre.
Within that Fiendfyre, he sensed the Spark Power?
"Gaia's reward?"
Li Mu's heart stirred.
Destroying alien civilizations could indeed earn Gaia's rewards.
But the Dementors were too weak an alien civilization. Did such beings even qualify for rewards?
Li Mu mused. Could this be a first-kill reward, similar to a game?
Gaia's rewards were inherently similar to games. Each otherworld was like a dungeon. However, reality was not a true game world. All treasures dropped were converted by Gaia through HuoZhong Source Power.
This Spark that appeared before him was likely Gaia's first-kill reward for a Spark Captain.
Of course, it was also possible he had just gotten incredibly lucky. He didn't know the specifics. As a Spark Captain, he knew too little about the Seedship itself. Once he returned to the Spark World, he would definitely find a way to systematically study the Seedship.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Li Mu waved his wand, using the Petrification Curse to petrify Sirius and the other prisoners.
He didn't kill them immediately because Gaia's reward was within the incinerated Azkaban. It was unlikely to be a Spark Artifact, which was personal equipment for a HuoZhong Professional. It was even less likely to be a Subordinate Module exclusive to the Seedship. Instead, the chance of dropping a Miracle Building required for a Spark City was higher.
Controlling the Fiendfyre to part ways along the path, Li Mu quickly found the Spark born from the Fiendfyre.
It was a palm-sized flame, within which floated a gloomy castle.
The moment he held it in his hand, his guess was confirmed.
[Azkaban: Miracle Building] [Level: LV1] [Quality: Purple Earth Grade] [Attributes: Spark City crime rate reduced by 5%, Spark City Spark Energy density increased by 5%, consuming Spark Energy can generate a number of Dementors equivalent to the number of prisoners of the same level as the prisoner. Dementors can fight externally and cannot be revived after death.]
[Hint: Miracle Buildings not integrated into Spark City can only exert half their attributes at most.]
[Reinforcement Requirement: 1000 Spark Energy]
[Evaluation: Death is harder than living.]
Seeing the attributes ahead, Li Mu was happy but also filled with disappointment.
However, upon seeing the final hint, only happiness remained.
Even though it could only exert half its effects without Spark City, it was enough for him to obtain a powerful prison to confine enemies. Moreover, the more powerful the enemies he confined, the more Dementors loyal to him he would gain.
Although Dementors were a bit stupid, they were very suitable as cannon fodder.
And as the Miracle Building was reinforced and upgraded, perhaps the cannon fodder Dementors might have a chance to turn their fortunes around.
The item was good, but it couldn't be integrated with the Origin HuoZhong for now.
His two Origin HuoZhongs could carry at most three Earth Grade, or two Earth Grade and two Profound Grade HuoZhongs simultaneously. Exceeding the limit meant they had to be un-fused. Thus, even using the Elf Wizard Robe and Resurrection Ring together required un-fusing other HuoZhong equipment like the Kindling Wand and Frostfire Rose.
Now there was an additional Miracle Building. He couldn't un-fuse the Elf Wizard Robe and fuse this instead.
His extraordinary level was not far from LV2. He had originally planned to meditate and improve slowly.
But it seemed that was not possible now. He really had to consume Spark Energy.
Immediately, 22 Spark Energy from the Phoenix's reserves merged into the First Origin HuoZhong.
In an instant, the First Origin HuoZhong began to evolve. The Second Origin HuoZhong also evolved simultaneously.
The evolution process took only a few seconds, with no anomalies. The Origin HuoZhongs simply looked more vigorous, and their capacity to carry and control Acquired HuoZhongs doubled. Now, even fusing all his current HuoZhong creations simultaneously would not be a problem.
The Second Origin HuoZhong fused with the Miracle Building. A miniature Azkaban instantly appeared within the Origin HuoZhong.
Li Mu threw Sirius and the others inside – a total of twelve wizard prisoners.
Consuming Spark Energy, a Dementor was immediately generated within.
Perhaps it was because he had refined this Miracle Building, but the Dementor's ability to absorb the joy of living beings and its oppressive negative effects had become completely ineffective against him. He even discovered that he could borrow the Dementor's power.
For example, flight, the ability to steal joy, and the Dementor's Kiss that sucked away souls.
These powers originally belonging to the Dementor could now all be wielded by him in his human form.
What pleased him the most was flight, as riding a Flying Broomstick was too uncomfortable.
Casting an LV7 Illusionary Body Curse, Li Mu flew out of Devil's Island and brushed past a wizard from the Ministry of Magic.
It wasn't until hours after he left that Devil's Island was destroyed by the Fiendfyre, which burned through the Fidelius Charm. However, the wizard from the Ministry of Magic faced a Devil's Island and Azkaban that were completely incinerated by the Fiendfyre, and they didn't even know who their enemy was.
Li Mu had already returned to the London Brown Hotel.
This time, the primary objective of destroying Azkaban was to obtain HuoZhong Source Power, the secondary objective was to familiarize himself with the spells he learned through the Kindling Tome, and finally, obtaining a Miracle Building was an unexpected bonus.
To conquer this world, he could only rely on personal strength and Gold Galleons.
The most cost-effective way to increase personal strength was to convert more Kindling Tomes.
Only then would it be possible to catch up to the strength Voldemort and Dumbledore had spent decades acquiring in just a few months, and only then would he be qualified to conquer the entire world with a carrot and a stick. Currently, the only thing he lacked was the magical collection at Hogwarts.
Admittedly, Hogwarts did not protect these magical collections very strictly.
At least Snape could easily access all the collections in Hogwarts except for the Principal's Office. These collections were successively borrowed by Snape, and then all of them were copied and sent to the Brown Hotel. Li Mu immediately began a new round of Kindling Tome conversions.
In the beginning, all the spells he learned were LV1.
But as he learned more and more spells, different magical knowledge began to cross-pollinate. Even if Li Mu didn't specifically study certain spells, the levels of all the spells he mastered were steadily increasing, and his strength was accelerating like a train.
PS: The first recommendation is next week. Current readership is very important. It determines whether he can get the next recommendation, so please don't hoard chapters. New books will die if hoarded now o(╥﹏╥)o
