Snape's New Goal

The spell "Sectumsempra" actually holds great significance for Ryan.

This is his first true ace to reach level 6 demigod status.

It was with this that Ryan gained the initial courage to face the outside world.

Although its function was quickly superseded by the more perfect Phoenix Metamorphosis,

And although he was only level 4 at the time,

However, thanks to the panel's feature of being a permanent certificate that can never be revoked, it is truly valuable.

It was replaced by the level 6 demigod-level skill of "Avada Kedavra".

However, it still holds sentimental value for Ryan.

In particular, the Sectumsempra spell reached level 6 by using the substitution method.

That is, to put yourself in Snape's shoes and cast this spell.

Ryan relies on the imagined Lily Prince, the Lily who marries Snape in a possible timeline.

He achieved this feat, which even its creator could not accomplish, through love and remorse.

But this also means that if magic is considered a living being, then judging a wizard's magic by one's heart, the moment Ryan achieved level 6 Sectumsempra, from the perspective of magic, it was Snape himself who achieved that.

Therefore, this spell, which was born from painful memories, had been shelved by its creator, resulting in the inexplicable breakthrough of its upper limit, which had prevented it from progressing further.

As a later arrival, yet considered a pioneer in the eyes of magic, Snape could easily replicate Ryan's achievement.

But Snape still hasn't done it by the time Ryan is in his Third Year, which is this year.

In recent years, Snape has almost never used the magic of Sectumsempra again.

So, in order to watch the show, and also to retaliate against Snape for interfering with the Ryan family's business.

Ryan began a three-year-long, relentless bombardment of photos.

The addition of a photo of James Potter, which should not have existed, by Ryan to the photograph greatly irritated Snape.

In particular, he discovered that photos belonging to his and Lily's forbidden zone (before Lily was 11 years old, before James Potter appeared in their lives) were also influenced by a childhood version of James Potter that shouldn't have appeared.

In addition, these photos Ryan specially protected by an indelible protective spell that only level 6 could break.

It recreated Snape's painful memories.

The Sectumsempra, born from this principle, displayed its true power in Snape's hands.

In simple terms, it's like launching a 'poisonous' sword that can continuously split, repeatedly launching it at a single target.

This is the level 6 version of the Snape's Sectumsempra, unique to Snape's version.

Ryan provided only some photos, yet he gained an alternative development trend in demigod-level magic.

This is completely different from Ryan's.

Ryan's "Sectumsempra" can be simply described as "sharp".

It can easily slice through physical matter and also cut through the sharpness of intangible magic.

Its 'toxicity', born from resentment, has been replaced by a resolute desire to protect this beautiful dream, transformed from the regret of knowing he could have been with Lily.

This unwavering resolve is the source of Ryan's Sectumsempra sharpness.

This is also the precursor to Ryan's 'sword' magic.

After all, given Ryan's level 4 'thinking' ability at the time, simulating the thoughts of others was as simple as breathing and drinking water.

But having to play the victim Snape every time he casts a spell, indulging in unrealistic daydreams, is too frustrating for Ryan.

Especially after the emergence of competitors—the same level 6 player, Avada Kedavra.

So Ryan deliberately extracted that resolute moment and created the Lightsword Spell, "Sword".

That makes it even cooler.

The sword was no longer formless, but had a visible radiance.

The color can be chosen at will.

It's like being a Jedi Knight when you use it.

They can also play the Sith when necessary.

In short, Ryan was very happy.

Snape's version of the Sectumsempra.

It can inflict perfect damage on both single targets and groups.

Although the single-target damage is not as good as the Ryan version.

But it's perfect enough.

After all, Ryan had sometimes complained about his own version of the Sectumsempra.

Its single-target damage is excessive.

There's no need to use it for challenges beyond your level.

It's too much to deal with a protective spell of the same level.

Halloween Eve has arrived just like that.

Today is Saturday.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, the castle was filled with the aroma of roasted pumpkin.

Pumpkins with sculpted facial features can be seen in almost every corner, occasionally baring their teeth and making faces.

At that moment, there was a pumpkin making a funny face at Ryan's feet.

Six days have passed since Snape's Sectumsempra breakthrough.

In the days that followed, Ryan noticed that Snape had been practicing from time to time.

However, the additional ingredient he added to his magic—negative emotions—besides his feelings towards James Potter, he also added his resentment towards Voldemort.

As he unleashed hundreds of swords to slash at the wooden rake, he seemed to mistake it for Voldemort himself.

Out of curiosity, Ryan 'communicated' with Snape's thoughts at that moment.

That was in Azkaban.

Snape used his occasional Apparition to evade Voldemort's turrets and the dense, spiderweb-like Avada Kedavra.

Meanwhile, on the other side, magic was continuously unleashed, shooting out countless invisible swords that left trails of black smoke on Voldemort's pale body.

Clearly, this sudden power gave Shinep a new goal—to kill Voldemort with his own hands.

Also, based on Ryan's observations.

Harry seems to be acting a little strange lately.

He had a vague aversion to Crookshanks.

This made Hermione very unhappy.

You should know that Harry does indeed hate cats.

But out of consideration for Ryan, he didn't show this even to Jerry, the black cat who posed a threat to his life.

But that's how it is for Crookshanks.

Ironically, Ron, who was originally at odds with Crookshanks in the timeline, harbored no ill will towards Crookshanks.

On the contrary, I have some goodwill towards them.

This is because Scabbers has become a real mouse.

Crookshanks, Kneazle Half-blood, is very intelligent.

It can distinguish between domesticated and wild mice.

Therefore, Crookshanks no longer spends all his time chasing Scabbers as he did in the original timeline.

In this way, the source of the falling out between Ron and Crookshanks was eliminated.

In addition, it has no desire to prey on the Scabbers.

That's how that goodwill developed.

However, Ryan finally figured it out today—he didn't get the result directly from 'thinking'.

Not far away, facing the blue-skinned Kneazle Pell, who was thrashing about in the lounge, Harry showed an unnatural sense of rejection that was even more obvious than when he was facing Crookshanks.

The names of several cats, including Mr. Paws, Titi, Cher, and Mao Mao, came to mind for Ryan.

He suddenly remembered something: Mrs. Figg, who was Squib, had cats that Harry remembered so vividly, and these cats were actually Half-blood Kneazle, just like Crookshanks.

This is a common-sense point that Ryan overlooked—wizards who keep Kneazle must first obtain a license.

Mrs. Figg probably relied on Dumbledore's connections, the fact that these people were Half-blood, and the loophole that she wasn't a wizard.

Let's leave those aside for now.

Harry has always hated Kneazle.

The cat was just a side effect.

Crookshanks wasn't disliked by him in the original timeline.

It was simply because at that time he didn't have Jerry the black cat, whom he considered very dangerous, by his side, constantly reminding him of his aversion to cats—actually, Kneazle.
