Trinity

Skylar sensed the increase in his magic power and couldn't wait to activate his Magic Eye, trying to observe himself and see how much his magic power had grown.

Unexpectedly, the moment he activated the Magic Eye, Skylar's heart tightened, and his whole body felt like it was on fire. His blood seemed to boil and surge within him. Skylar felt a strong surge of power within his bloodline, as if he were experiencing the second magical outburst of his life!

As expected, Skylar let out a painful shriek, and a powerful burst of magic erupted from his body. The magic formed invisible vibrations in the air, causing shocking cracks to appear on the ceiling and surrounding walls of the entire underground cave.

Seeing the boulders beginning to fall from the cave ceiling with a rumbling sound, Skylar dared not linger. He hurriedly ran out of the cave, not forgetting to use Summoning Charm to grab the hundreds of spider eggs deep inside and put them into his Suitcase Space. After all, the eggs of the Acromantula were Class A contraband, and each one could fetch at least 100 Galleon on the black market.

[Obtained hundreds of Acromantula eggs!]

After escaping the underground lair of the Acromantula, Skylar summoned Dobby and used Apparition to send him back to his dormitory.

Skylar lay exhausted on the bed, pondering the reason for his second magical surge.

Perhaps this is a phenomenon of atavism in the power of ancient bloodlines.

In modern times, the power within one's bloodline is far weaker than it was in the era of one's ancestors a thousand years ago. Perhaps absorbing advanced energies such as the "Source of Life" and the "Crystal of Wisdom" is the key to unlocking the power of one's bloodline.

Skylar couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation for Gryffindor's Treasure — Ravenclaw had the "Essence of Wisdom," Hufflepuff had the "Source of Life," so what would Gryffindor leave behind?

The weakness caused by the magical surge didn't gradually disappear until half an hour later.

Skylar felt the various changes that the second surge of magical energy brought to his body.

First, his body had become stronger. Skylar could clearly feel the power generated by the muscles in his arms when he clenched his fist; it was at least twice as strong as before.

Increased strength is also a factor influencing the outcome of wizard duels. Not to mention having greater resistance to the impact of Expelliarmus and Knockback Jinx, it can at least increase explosive power when running and jumping.

Then, his magical power also increased significantly, successfully reaching the level of an adult wizard, or even surpassing it. In another year, when Skylar is in his fifth year, he will probably reach the level of a beginner Auror.

In contrast, by that time, Harry, Ron, and others who enrolled at the same time had only just reached the level of upperclassmen.

Given their abilities, in the original story, the fact that Harry's reckless squad was able to break into the Department of Mysteries and fight a group of Death Eaters in their fourth and fifth years without losing a single person is likely due not only to the inexplicable luck brought by the protagonist's halo, but also because the Death Eaters showed mercy.

Skylar remembered that this topic was one of the hottest discussions in the fan club in his previous life. In the original story, when his father Lucius gave orders, he did say, "Kill if necessary."

Based on his understanding of his father in this life, the correct interpretation of that statement is: do not commit meaningless killings; only kill when necessary, especially when the target is a minor child. Although Death Eaters are evil, they also have families and children, such as Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe. They also have love. They are not Voldemort; killing children is tantamount to their last line of defense.

As a result, in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Ron was hit by the "Grinning" spell, Ginny was hit by the Stunning Spell, and most incredibly, Antonin Dolohov, who was capable of defeating Mad-Eye Moody and killing Lupin, actually chose to cast the "Tarantallegra" on Neville during the duel! That's a spell that first-year students at Hogwarts use for pranks!

He simply couldn't believe that the Death Eaters hadn't held back.

Let's get back to Skylar.

Even with his current level of magic, Skylar's strength has greatly increased. He already possesses many rare and bizarre attack methods, coupled with meticulous tactical planning and keen combat adaptability. When his magic was still at the level of a senior student, he could challenge adult wizards of higher levels. Now, he has enough confidence to challenge wizards at the level of a junior Auror!

In addition, Skylar could feel his body overflowing with magic power. The magic pool was like a full pool of water, and suddenly streams extended in all directions, forming a crisscrossing network of magic power. It was as if a new network of blood vessels had been opened up in his body, specifically for the magic streams to flow freely throughout his body, nourishing every organ, every tissue, and even every cell.

Just as Skylar was still feeling and observing the changes in his body, he suddenly felt a warmth on the back of his neck.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Aquila's phantom appeared, revealing a complex expression in a human-like manner, "It seems I've followed a remarkable master!"

"It seems I've been asleep for too long and missed some interesting things... When did your magic become active again?" Aquila asked earnestly.

"Activation? Aquila, you mean the magic will flow on its own? That's been going on for quite a while," Skylar knew this was a change that occurred after he lowered his Occlumency with Morrie and let his guard down, and the magic suddenly shed its dark aura. However, because it involved personal feelings, he found it difficult to bring up the topic at the moment.

"Uh... I don't really know how to explain it. For some reason... I suddenly decided to break the Occlumency, and then I found that my magic suddenly changed. I still don't understand the principle behind it."

"Interesting." Aquila's eyes gleamed with an enigmatic light. "Even you yourself don't know how you did it. I can only say your luck is astonishing. Do you know that what you've achieved is the realm that Ravenclaw has pursued his entire life, a realm that even the wise and powerful Ravenclaw has never successfully reached..."

"Of course, Lady Ravenclaw is also unfortunate; she has spent far too much time trying to resolve her Blood Curse..." Aquila said seriously, "According to Ravenclaw's deductions, the benefits of magical activation are countless..."

"First, you must have already noticed that your magic has become a bridge, connecting your spirit and soul. This state is called 'Soul-Spirit Unity and soul,' where the soul and spirit can intertwine and nourish each other... and it is precisely because of this that the foundation for your extraordinary adventure has been laid..."

"If it weren't for the fact that you've already reached the realm of magical activation and the Soul-Spirit Unity, Lord Hufflepuff's legacy would at most only modify your body, or at best grant you a new profound technique, or increase your total magical power... This might be an extraordinary encounter for others, but—compared to what you've gained, it's utterly insignificant!"

"Do you know how lucky you are?--" Aquila still finds it hard to believe how Skylar managed to do all this. There were too many coincidences in the whole process. In its eyes, it was simply unbelievable luck!

"It's because before you absorbed the 'Source of Life' left by Lord Hufflepuff, the magical bridge within your body had already formed. So, with the influx of a large amount of magical power, the magic was forced into your body—meaning you broke through the limits of the human body!" Aquila then asked, "Do you remember the third question about the Eagle-shaped Door Knocker?"

Skylar nodded.

He certainly remembered that question; it was quite tricky, asking a young wizard, "What is the true meaning of life?" Skylar's answer was "matter, spirit, and soul," which is why he was accepted as a candidate to inherit the Ravenclaw treasure.

Aquila paused briefly in reminiscence, then his expression turned appreciative. "To be honest, your answer truly amazed me—matter, spirit, and soul. There's no better summary than that. To put it simply, it's body, mind, and emotion; the Trinity is life."

Aquila continued, "Judging from your situation, after achieving the unity of mind and soul, your magic has gone a step further, linking your spirit, soul, and body together. This situation fits the description of 'the Trinity.' Strictly speaking, you have touched upon the true meaning of life. You could even say that you can no longer be considered a wizard, but a completely new species."

What? It's that amazing?

Skylar was stunned; he himself hadn't realized he was anything special!

"You don't believe me?" Aquila looked at Skylar's expression and sneered, "Let me tell you, it's because you don't yet know how to guide your magic—your magic, though activated, is like an infant, still in the exploratory stage. As the vessel of magic, if you learn to guide it, it will become your most terrifying weapon!"

Skylar pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "So, how should I guide it?"

Skylar believed that Aquila understood; it was just waiting for Skylar to ask it, otherwise why would it tell him so much?

Aquila said, "You think you can get answers from me without giving anything in return? No way! You have to offer something in exchange!"

Skylar curled his lip. He just wanted to try his luck and see if he could get something for free. Now that he knew the importance of guiding magic, with his expertise in mental and soul magic, there was no way he couldn't figure it out on his own. It would just take some time.

Skylar mentally reviewed the characteristics of spirit, soul, and magic.

The soul fluctuates, and under extreme emotions, such as the deliberate act of evil murder, these fluctuations can be stimulated, causing the soul to split. The Abatair chapter on the soul even points out a shortcut to strengthening the soul—killing one's beloved.

Magic itself is inanimate; only when casting a spell can a wizard feel the flow of magic, and it is a fixed, unidirectional flow, flowing from the hand into the wand, and then being transformed into a spell and released through specific wand-waving gestures.

Skylar's magic has now come alive.

In other words, magic can flow into any part of his body.

In other words, Skylar can cast spells using any part of his body?

Skylar imagined himself waving the wand between his toes and couldn't help but shudder; the image was simply too gruesome to bear!

Ah! That's not right!

Skylar realized he had fallen into a misconception: who says you have to use a wand to cast spells!

Leaving aside the issue of Wandless Magic, since its effects and power are far inferior to those of Wandless Magic -based spellcasting, even powerful figures like Dumbledore and Voldemort wouldn't be so foolish as to go into a duel without a wand.

However, there are some spells that don't require a wand!

For example, Transfiguration!

Yes! That's it!

A glint of wisdom flashed in Skylar's eyes as he looked at Aquila, a smug smile spreading across his face. "Aquila, I've got it!"

"Oh, really? Show me." Aquila was somewhat skeptical. This kid's luck was already extraordinary; if he also had such comprehension, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?

Aquila was created by magic in the tenth century, an era that produced many outstanding figures. It witnessed countless brilliant geniuses— Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Gryffindor, Nalida Fokkenova, Merlin, Morgan le Fay —each a prodigy.

(Note: Nalida Vokanova was a Bulgaria witch and the Founders of Durmstrang. She died mysteriously during her tenure and was succeeded as principal by Harfon Monte, who advocated combat magic and Dark Arts.)

However, Aquila was certain that none of the aforementioned individuals were nearly as freakish as this kid at the age of 14. His growth in strength was simply abnormal.

Skylar closed his eyes and tried to cast Transfiguration on his body in his mind—the composition and transformation of matter, the flow and combination of magic, and unwavering confidence and determination!

The magic flowed from the magic pool through the heart, through the brain, and finally into the body.

Magic slowly filled his body, but because it lacked guidance, it could not be released. Skylar felt that every part of his body and every cell was filled with strong magical fluctuations, and he felt a bloating sensation, and even a slight pain like being cut by the edge of a piece of paper.

He took a deep breath and released the magic from his body!

He felt every part of his body, every cell, twisting and changing!

Skylar suddenly grew taller, his hair turned deep black, his eyes became deep black, and his face and features were completely different—this was his previous life, the appearance of Carter Young!

As expected, Skylar was right; he had mastered a new ability— the Metamorphmagus!

[The Bloodline Secret of House of Black - Metamorphmagus has learned this!]

Aquila opened her beak wide, but couldn't utter a single word— Skylar had not only truly grasped how to channel magic, but had even learned how to use it in actual combat!
