Ian raised his wand and his voice was as steady as cold iron.
"We start with the first spell-Imperius Curse."
His tone was calm, but every word shocked the depths of people's hearts.
"This is a spell that can completely control the will of others. Unlike the other two spells, it is not irreversible.
A person with enough willpower can theoretically awaken from it."
He paused for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"So, I devised two solutions."
The wizards in the field waited with bated breath.
"One is a medicine - it can gradually strengthen the will, so that the user's resistance to Imperius Curse will continue to increase.
Once taken to a certain stage, any wizard will be difficult to control.
The second method is the magic spell - similar to Occlumency.
Named 'Soul Guardian Charm', it can build a shield outside the soul to prevent any forced Mind Stone from invading and dominating."
After saying that, Ian waved his staff and drew a series of complex runes in mid-air.
Immediately, the light in the entire arena dimmed, and a three-dimensional image unfolded in the sky--
That was a complete demonstration of "Soul Guardian Charm", from the pronunciation of the spell, the movements of the staff to the rhythm of mental focus, everything was omitted.
There were murmurs of exclamation in the audience.
Countless people thought that this speech was just a show, but they didn't expect that he actually disclosed this top-notch magic without reservation.
Someone whispered, "This knowledge is worth at least a treasury."
Another person responded in a low voice, "He gave it away for free."
After the demonstration, Ian said lightly:
"If anyone has trouble remembering it, don't worry. After the event, all viewers will receive a book recording the three counter-curses.
In addition, Bones family's stores will also distribute free copies, and any wizard can request them."
Applause surged again.
"Next, is the second spell--Cruciatus Curse."
He swept the crowd calmly. "I named it Pain-Blocking Charm.
This spell can temporarily cut off the pain-sensing nerves of the caster, rendering Cruciatus Curse ineffective."
Light and shadow emerged again - it was a picture of a volunteer who was suffering from Cruciatus Curse, and the painful expression disappeared instantly.
The crowd screamed one after another.
Ian continued to explain, "I once thought that Cruciatus Curse was torturing the soul, but that was not the case.
It only stimulates the pain center. Only in the hands of a powerful or twisted spell caster,
It will extend to the spiritual and soul level--
Just as Bellatrix did to Longbottom family."
He paused and his tone turned low. "So I just need to stop my body from feeling pain.
The pain that Mind Stone can bear is more real than the physical body.
But if you can see the pain and choose to ignore it - that's true freedom."
These few words made many wizards fall into deep thought.
--
The third spell is the one that everyone is most looking forward to.
"Finally," Ian raised his head with a solemn expression, "Avada Kedavra."
He whispered its Latin name--Suffragum Anchoris,
It means "Soul-Anchoring Charm".
"For many years I have studied the relationship between death and the soul.
I discovered that Avada Kedavra is not targeting life itself, but the anchor point of vitality--
That weak energy that tightly binds the soul and body.
When the anchor point is severed, the soul instantly separates from the body.
This is why people who were hit by Avada Kedavra had no wounds or scars."
He raised his wand and continued, "And the counter-spell I created -
It will strengthen the anchoring between the soul and the body, making Avada Kedavra ineffective."
The whole place was silent.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ian nodded slightly to Professor Flitwick who was standing aside.
The old professor raised his wand, his voice trembling slightly.
"Avatar-Killing!"
A dazzling green light rushed out and hit Ian's chest.
The air suddenly solidified.
There were screams and exclamations from the crowd.
But the next second - Ian is still standing there,
His face looked normal, even smiling.
The whole audience burst into roaring cheers.
Thousands of wizards stood up at the same time, applauding like thunder,
They witnessed the second person on History of Magic to resist Avada Kedavra in full public view--
The second person after Harry Potter.
The difference is, Ian doesn't rely on fate or miracles.
He relied on reason and research to block death from his soul.
--
The cheers lasted for a full five minutes.
When the noise gradually subsided, the voice of Ian sounded again:
"Unfortunately, I still cannot revive the people whose lives were taken away by Avada Kedavra.
But I believe that one day, no matter it is me,
Any one of you can do it."
The crowd was excited again.
Dreams burned in the eyes of many young wizards--
They imagine standing on the same stage in the future,
Announce new magical achievements and receive cheers from around the world.
Ian smiled slightly and looked towards the audience, "Before I end, I want to thank two people."
"The first one is my aunt, Amelia·Bones.
Over the years, she has been my strongest supporter. No matter how outrageous research I proposed, she supported it without hesitation."
Amelia slowly walked onto the stage. She did not speak, but bowed lightly to the audience.
The crowd stood up to salute, and the applause seemed to lift the roof.
"The second one is my Charms tutor at Hogwarts, Professor Flitwick.
In the process of researching the counter-spell, countless people questioned me and doubted whether I was touching Dark Magic.
He was the only one who never backed down.
He was even willing to put his own reputation on the line just to allow me to continue exploring the truth.
All this today is half due to him."
Flitwick g's eye circles are slightly red.
He walked onto the stage and stood side by side with Ian.
The two looked at each other and there was no need to say anything.
That is the purest pride between teachers and students.
The audience burst into thunderous applause again.
--
When the applause died down, Ian picked up the wand again,
His voice was steady and deep:
"I know these magics are difficult for many people to master.
Therefore, starting from today, the alchemy workshop owned by Bones family will be sold to the public
Alchemy tools and auxiliary runes with the same effect,
Help every wizard have the ability to protect Self.
From now on, fear and despair are no longer the norm for us Wizarding World."
He slowly lowered his wand.
Over the venue, three rune halos intertwined to form a new emblem--
A mark that represents freedom, reason and life.
