Skylar activated the Magic Eye, and a surge of intense power welled up within his bloodline.

Suddenly feeling a searing heat in his eyes, Skylar's pupils contracted slightly. To an outsider, the whites and pupils of Skylar 'Skylar eyes appeared to have turned a terrifying crimson. With a slight exertion, a crimson stream of light shot out from his eyes. The light struck a rock, instantly shattering it into Reductor Curse.

Hmm? Casting a spell with your eyes?

It might sound impressive, but how is this any different from Wandless Magic? In fact, for Skylar, who can cast spells with any part of his body, this ability is rather useless.

After shooting out that red light, much of the fiery energy in Skylar's eyes had dissipated, and his eyes were no longer as intensely hot as before. At the same time, the red light in Skylar's eyes had also faded slightly, and behind the flickering red light, two vertical Snake Eyes could be faintly seen.

He turned to look at Dobby, Dobby felt an overwhelming pressure rushing towards him. The Sprite felt as if the world was turning upside down, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and his small body collapsed to the ground, trembling but not daring to move.

"Master! Please calm your anger!" Dobby didn't know what it had done wrong, but at this moment, it felt only fear and submission.

It thought it had done something wrong, which caused Skylar's anger, but that was not the case.

This oppressive aura was unintentionally released by Skylar. It originated from the pressure of ancient bloodlines, a suppression between bloodlines. The process of Skylar chanting the Parseltongue was actually a purification ritual for the bloodline, a refining ceremony that allowed the bloodline to return to its ancestral state. The boiling-like phenomenon in the bloodline was precisely because the most primal and pure power in the bloodline was being gradually stimulated during the boiling and sublimation process.

As mentioned earlier, the earliest wizarding bloodline was actually the "Chaos Power" awakened by ancient humans in order to survive in harsh environments. At that time, there was no modern Magical Theory to serve as a framework, and wizards could only use magic to attack in a crude manner. As the battles progressed, human wizards gradually mastered various techniques for using magic, such as using magic to control the mind, using magic to change matter, and using magic to manipulate the elements. This is the origin of the various schools of magic.

While the rise of magical schools greatly enhanced the combat power of human wizards at the time, it also brought other problems. That is, human wizards increasingly relied on the skills of using magic, rather than focusing on how to improve the purity of their bloodline. With generations of intermarriage and the dilution of bloodlines, by the ancient era, wizards were no longer as powerful as before.

But at this time, a notorious dark wizard proposed a theory of using wizarding bloodlines to magically suppress other species. This person was the later infamous "Vile Herpo".

He advocated for the reverse purification of wizards' bloodlines, then using the superiority of that bloodline to suppress other species purely through power. His first experiment was quite successful; he discovered that anyone possessing his bloodline and uttering specific sounds could make all magical snakes unconditionally submit to him. Later, he established a framework for those sounds and called it Parseltongue, which is the origin of the "Parseltongue" talent.

The success of this experiment gave him immense confidence, leading him to intensify his research into suppressing the bloodlines of other species. He collaborated with a wandering wizard Dumbledore to invent "Bird Language," which could subdue and tame all magical birds and animals. Unfortunately, the two eventually parted ways due to differences in their beliefs.

Dumbledore (the Headmaster's ancestor) believed that it was unnecessary to use bloodline oppression to make the birds obedient. Instead, he advocated using the resonance of magical language to foster a sense of intimacy, making them more like equal partners rather than slaves or magical pets enslaved by wizards. Herpo naturally strongly disagreed with this, but at that time, his Dark Arts was not yet fully developed, far from the powerful level of later legends. He could only helplessly accept Dumbledore's insistence. Eventually, Dumbledore could no longer tolerate the differences in Herpo values and chose to leave in secret.

This part of the research, due to the loss of an important bloodline of the Dumbledore Family, was ultimately abandoned by Herpo with great reluctance.

After that, he captured some mischievous Sprite (who were still wild at the time) and used Blood Magic to train them into slaves, who were completely unable to resist the wizard's bloodline.

This is different from the subservient and obsequious attitude of modern House Elf towards wizards. Modern House Elf are simply imprinted with magic by a wizard that prevents them from resisting their master, but they can still attack wizards other than their master. For example, in the original story, Dobby once gave Lucius a beating after leaving the House of Malfoy.

Skylar's current state is more like a complete suppression of bloodlines. In front of Skylar's Snake Eyes, no matter which family's House Elf it is, or even a wild Sprite that once rebelled, they can only prostrate themselves on the ground, completely unable to muster any resistance. In fact, it can be said that even the slightest disrespectful thought in their hearts would be directly devoured by their own bloodlines.

["Snake Eyes" talent awakened!]

[The suppressive power of "All Sprite" awakens!]

The power to suppress all snake-type Demon has awakened!

Skylar frowned. He had only glanced at Dobby casually, and the power emanating from his Snake Eyes was truly unintentional. He hadn't expected it to be so powerful.

Wait a minute, does that mean he's practically the emperor revered by all the Sprite in the world? You see, House Elf are just the most prominent elf-like creatures in the original stories; there are many other racial branches that also originated from Ancient Elf, such as the Ireland Goblin, the France and Greece Nymph, the Germany Erkling, the Africa Yumbo, and the Japan Tanuki Man...

Skylar withdrew his gaze from Dobby. Although Dobby did not understand what had happened, he felt the mountain-like pressure on his body suddenly disappear. He immediately stood up respectfully and expressed his gratitude to Skylar.

Skylar turned to look at Sarf. At this moment, the red light in Skylar's eyes had faded considerably, and his two vertical Snake Eyes were now clearly visible.

A red light suddenly flashed in her pupils. Skylar's mental and magical power flowed uncontrollably into her eyes, transforming into a heat beam similar to an infrared ray that pierced straight into Sarf's eyes. Sarf's entire body suddenly stiffened, her eyes lost focus, and she was clearly in a state of complete disorientation.

It's really hard to explain what's going on. Although Skylar knows how to Legilimency, he avoids using it as much as possible because he's worried about being discovered by various time-lapse techniques. So his skill in Legilimency can't be considered very high.

Skylar had never explored someone's mind so deeply before. At this moment, his mental power was like two electric currents connected, and Sarf's memories were like a book, which he could freely flip through. Human memories are necessarily sequential, from birth to death, and the things experienced will remain in the brain forever. However, this eye technique cruelly cut it apart, turning it into countless images, like individual still pictures obtained when a film is disassembled.

Skylar suddenly had a sudden realization, yet he was also deeply frightened by his discovery.

This force is truly terrifying.
