Just as Bell was beginning to consider whether he should take a nap, a familiar, cold, and deathly aura wafted over.

Bell will never forget that scent, that scent that once hurt his sister!

However, unlike his previous outburst of rage, this time, Bell's lips were uncontrollably curling upwards.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!

After this period of research and experimentation with the mutated Patronus Charm, Bell has basically verified his previous conjecture.

However, at the final level, Bell discovered a fatal flaw.

His Patronus, Qiongqi, must be controlled by Bell himself in every move!

For an ordinary Onmyoji, this might not matter. But for Bell, a wizard, he doesn't rely solely on Shikigami a living.

Controlling Qiongqi would consume a lot of Bell's energy, which would greatly limit his performance.

This means that summoning Qiongqi might actually weaken Bell's fighting power.

Moreover, since it requires 100% control by the individual, Bell might as well 'pilot a Gundam ' instead of controlling Qiongqi.

At least ' Gundam ' is forged from metal, which is superior to Qiongqi, which is purely materialized from magic, in terms of attack and defense. Most importantly, it does not require Bell to expend magic to maintain its existence.

Just as Bell was racking his brains for a solution, he suddenly remembered that when Qiongqi first appeared on the Hogwarts Express, it had devoured the Dementor on its own.

Yes, Bell did intend to kill the Dementor, but he wasn't planning to have his Patronus devour it. After all, at that time, he wasn't even sure if he could summon Patronus at all.

Bell's initial plan was to first drive the Dementor off the train, and then slowly figure out how to kill it.

As a result, without Bell's much effort, the Patronus he unexpectedly summoned did the work for him.

Considering that Qiongqi's body had become almost imperceptibly solidified after devouring the Dementor, Bell speculated that perhaps if Qiongqi devoured enough Dementor, it might develop a degree of self-awareness?

Of course, this is still just Bell's speculation and has no basis whatsoever.

However, Bell didn't care. They were just Dementor; if they swallowed him, so be it. Did he expect him to talk about human rights with a bunch of Dementor?

However, as is well known, as a very dangerous Dark Magic Creatures, every Dementor is under the close surveillance of the Ministry of Magic.

Last time, when Bell accidentally killed one of them, Fudge even sent a team of Auror to investigate.

So the question is, where is Bell going to find some Dementor to eat?

It's important to understand that even if Qiongqi could truly awaken its self-awareness by devouring Dementor, it would be far more than just one or two.

He needs a lot of Dementor!

Now, it's like a godsend. Bell realized he might have misunderstood the Dementor.

"Shanna, protect me!"

Bell stood up excitedly, his eyes practically glowing green as he gazed at the Dementor of Dementors in the sky.

He needs to hurry.

Dumbledore couldn't let these Dementor run rampant. Bell had to devour enough Dementor before Dumbledore act.

A powerful surge of magical energy emanated from Bell, causing his robes to flutter wildly.

Even the barrier that Shanna had set up earlier was broken from the inside because it couldn't withstand the magic power emanating from Bell.

The sudden downpour caught Hermione and her two companions completely off guard. Already terrified by the appearance of the horde of Dementor, the three girls looked bewildered at Bell, who emanated an immense aura of oppression, utterly confused about what was happening.

Shanna was equally confused about what was wrong with her Gege. But those little things didn't matter; what mattered was that her Gege needed her right now!

"Okay, Gege!"

Upon hearing her Gege's command, Shanna immediately took out her Wand.

"Expecto Patronum!"

A tiger-shaped Patronus was summoned by Shanna. The little girl controlled her Patronus to grow larger, and it perched on top of her Gege's head.

Bell glanced at her younger sister in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Shanna's Patronus should be an albatross, right? How did it become like this? It looks a bit like... a giant version of Fina?

He temporarily suppressed his doubts; there was no time to ask him about these things now.

"Shikigami - Qiongqi!"

With the infusion of a large amount of magic power, Qiongqi, which had already signed Shikigami contract with Bell, materialized.

"Roar~!"

With a terrifying roar, Qiongqi transformed into a white light and instantly appeared in the center of the Dementor.

Bell manipulated Qiongqi to undergo Magic Transformation, and the enormous Qiongqi instantly shrank to a small ball the size of a human head.

After a brief gathering of power, the magic ball exploded, and countless tentacles filled the sky, each tentacle tipped with a large mouth.

The Dementor, who originally wanted to spar with Qiongqi because of their superior numbers, were instantly bitten and unable to escape, like mosquitoes caught by a frog.

A series of mournful cries emanated from beneath the Dementor's cloak, but this did not elicit the slightest pity from Bell.

The tentacles, like rubber bands stretched to their limit, suddenly retracted, returning to their original shape as a magic ball.

However, this magic ball is much larger than before. If you look closely, you can see irregular bumps constantly appearing on the surface of the magic ball.

Because Qiongqi devoured too many Dementor at once, it couldn't digest them immediately. As a result, some Dementor still retained the ability to struggle.

Seeing this, Bell had no choice but to increase the output of magic power once again, ensuring that the Dementor inside Qiongqi would not burst out of its belly, while also providing Qiongqi with the power to continue to prey on other Dementor.

There's no way around it, this is a rare opportunity. If we don't seize it and get rich quick, who knows when we'll get to enjoy this kind of "feast" again?

As for whether the Ministry of Magic will cause him trouble?

Bell wasn't worried in the slightest.

If you have any questions, please speak with his agent... cough cough, I mean, please speak with the great Headmaster Dumbledore.

Bell controlled Qiongqi to revert to its original form.

With each flap of its wings, Qiongqi transforms into a streak of white light, flashing across the sky. Then, one less Dementor will appear in the sky.

Realizing they were no match for the white monster, most of the Dementor screamed and fled towards the outside of Hogwarts. They vowed never to set foot in that terrifying place called Hogwarts again.

The remaining, more volatile Dementor roared and pounced on Bell. Through their magical connection, they had discovered that Bell had summoned the monster.

Once the summoner is killed, the Summoned Beast will naturally disappear. This is a game rule that even Dementor understand.
