Ultimate Secret Art
Having learned from the mistakes of the previous three methods, Skylar immersed himself in thought, his mind racing through all the records in the House of Lestrange's files. He quickly grasped the method to activate his bloodline talent. As he exhaled deeply, a black raven emblem on his chest glowed faintly—
[The House of Lestrange Bloodline Secret - The Awakening of the "Mind Cage"!]
Skylar was not surprised by his own transformation; as far as he knew, the Lestrange family crest was a black raven.
(Note: The Lestrange family crest design is from the second Fantastic Beasts movie.)
Mind Cage, as the name suggests, is magic that imprisons the mind of an enemy. It is a sinister branch of illusion magic similar to that cast by Gryffindor, and its effect is somewhat similar to the nightmare magic that the Hag is good at, except that Mind Cage is much more powerful.
When this technique is used, it pulls the enemy's mind into the illusion created by the user in a short instant. The flow of time in the illusion is different from that in the outside world; it can even be said that time is almost stopped. Within the illusion, Skylar can inflict torture at will, such as stabbing the victim dozens of times with a knife in a time equivalent to one second in the outside world.
Because the illusion is connected to the victim's mental world, all the damage, including pain, within the illusion will be reflected in the victim's physical body. If the victim's mind cannot withstand the torture and dies within the illusion, their real body will also die.
The biggest difference between this magic and the Nightmare Magic of the Hag is that Nightmare Magic can be broken free by willpower and mental strength, while the former cannot.
The essence of the Mind Cage is not hypnosis or illusion, but a genuine creation of a prison in the enemy's mind using magic, trapping both oneself and the enemy in a self-constructed illusion.
Unless the caster voluntarily dispels the spell, the only way for the victim to save themselves is to defeat their opponent within the illusion.
This isn't magic for combat, but a weapon for interrogation and torture!
From that moment on, all the bloodlines of the four Pure-blood families that flowed through Skylar's veins, tracing back two generations, activated their bloodline talents.
Throughout the long history of magic, those who can activate one bloodline talent are extremely rare; as far as Skylar knows, only Katarina Grindelwald - Monroe has been able to activate two talents in the past hundred years.
Throughout history, perhaps only one person has been able to activate all four bloodline talents: Skylar Malfoy!
After activating the House of Lestrange's bloodline talent, Skylar could finally catch his breath, but he still dared not let his guard down. He could feel another powerful wave of energy surging within his bloodline. He shouted, "It's still not enough! The power is too immense. I can only hold on for another half hour. Do you have any other solutions?!"
"I'm out of options too," Aquila cried out, its face showing signs of exhaustion. As a magical creation, it could not absorb the large amount of bloodline power it absorbed; it could only forcibly decompose it with magic. For it, this burden was far more draining than that of Skylar. Of course, Skylar himself was the first victim of this power, and combined, he certainly bore the brunt of the energy.
Aslan also managed to speak, "I have another idea... Kid... with your aptitude, perhaps you could try this... This energy is meant to allow your bloodline to revert to its ancestral state, that is, to allow you to regain control of the Chaos Power of the wizard! Perhaps... that... might... work..." As soon as he finished speaking, with a bang, Aquila and Aslan both deactivated their summons and disappeared into the void.
What? The Chaos Power?
As mentioned earlier, the first wizards awakened the Chaos Power in the harsh environment of ancient times. Magic back then was not as fancy as it is today; it was simple, direct, and extremely destructive.
Aslan's suggestion is indeed feasible.
The problem now is that Skylar doesn't know what to do.
Moreover, the reality is that even after exhausting all means, he can only stall for another half hour, and then... that's it.
"Oh God! Merlin! Save me!" Skylar cried out.
Wait a minute, Merlin?
Skylar suddenly remembered that when he was a sophomore, he had tricked Professor Lockhart into signing his book and had seen Merlin's bloodline research notes in the Restricted Section of the Hogwarts library.
So if that's the case...
The legacy passed down from the Four Founders...
Looking at his body radiating a faint white light, Skylar understood that this was the power of "Creation Regeneration," and then feeling the fiery fighting spirit in his chest, he knew that this was the effect of "Soaring Battle Intent."
He then closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and focused intently on activating Ravenclaw's signature technique, "Divine Insight of Amaterasu."
When he opened his eyes, his Magic Eye slowly transformed into Snake Eyes. He hissed, and a sharp red light shot from his pupils—
Slytherin's signature move – "Absolute Dominion"!
Thus, the unique secrets of the Four Founders have all been gathered in one person and reappeared in the world!
Sounds resembling the calls of honey badgers, the roars of Griffin, the cries of eagles, and the hisses of Basilisk echoed from the void...
Skylar's body underwent changes he never expected. Two horns slowly grew from his head, and a thin crack appeared on his forehead, revealing a crimson eye.
[The ultimate technique of the Four Founders of Hogwarts— "Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land"—has been mastered!]
After activating the Philosopher's Stone and "Soaring Battle Intent," his magic power has already reached the level of Grand Sorcerer. Even without using a wand, it is enough for him to continuously cast multiple high-energy-consuming Parseltongue spells.
The sheer amount of magic power was so immense that the moment Skylar activated "Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land," all of it receded rapidly like the tide going out. The process of bloodline reversion finally came to an end, and the bloodline power gradually stabilized.
Skylar didn't know how much of his bloodline power had reverted to its ancestral form, but he did know that he had never felt such a powerful bloodline pressure when facing the combined forces of Morgan, Voldemort, and Barbarossa.
If I could see that House of Malfoy ancestor I nearly beat to death again, perhaps I could ask him—since he was the first wizard to unlock the Magic Eye to its peak, he must know something about this.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!
The ability to Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land is not magic, but rather a special ability similar to Divine Insight of Amaterasu or Creation Regeneration, which can enhance a wizard's various stats.
The Divine Insight of Amaterasu correspond to spiritual power.
Creation Regeneration correspond to vitality.
Absolute Dominion corresponds to bloodline power.
Soaring Battle Intent corresponds to willpower.
The phrase "Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land" actually corresponds to the wizard's comprehensive abilities.
In his Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land state, Skylar was pleasantly surprised to find that all four of his ultimate techniques had been significantly enhanced.
The range of the Divine Insight of Amaterasu has been doubled;
The speed of Creation Regeneration has also been improved;
The cooldown time for Absolute Dominion has been reduced by half; (once every two weeks)
The duration of "Soaring Battle Intent" has doubled (to 10 minutes each time).
Having suddenly received such a stroke of good fortune, Skylar was at a loss for words. If the Battle of Little Hangleton Cemetery were to happen again, hahahahaha...
Before he could fully vent his arrogant emotions in his maniacal laughter, Skylar suddenly felt dizzy and realized that everything he had just experienced had actually exhausted all his mental and willpower.
He only had time to lightly touch the Mind Control Ring on his right ring finger before all his strength was instantly drained, and he fell backward. His last shred of consciousness before losing consciousness told him that he had fallen onto a soft, delicate body.
