The moon in the distance had already set, and the sun had yet to rise. Even the light of the stars had disappeared. From afar, only the silhouette of a magnificent castle could be seen.
In a small room within the castle, Light woke up in the small bed.
Looking out of the window at the pitch - black night with not a glimmer of light, he felt a sense of familiarity and couldn't help but mutter softly, "A castle, a small bed, and I'm alone looking into the distance. Am I like a runaway Disney princess?"
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Light turned to look at the door.
He then found Professor Snape, wearing a black robe and almost blending into the darkness, staring at him expressionlessly.
"Good morning, professor!" Light gave a smile and greeted Professor Snape. Unaware of this, Headmaster Dumbledore was also hiding beside the door.
Professor Snape looked at the smiling Light but didn't say a word. He just nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Light didn't say more. He directly took out the potion as black as ink, pulled out the cork, and chugged it down.
The bitter taste rushed straight to his head, and Light couldn't help but retch a few times. He thought to himself, "Why does it taste so much like herbal tea?"
Before the bitterness in his mouth faded, he immediately sank his spirit into his mind and invested his last Mileage Points into Transfiguration.
After watching the information in front of him distort for a while, it then returned to show Transfiguration: 10.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Light's spirit immediately returned to his body.
As Light's spirit returned, the potion took effect and his talent improved.
Everything in front of him started to spin, and countless thoughts and knowledge burst forth at this moment.
In the small room, while his spirit was wandering in the ocean of knowledge, Light's body seemed to lose the pull of gravity and slowly rose from the ground.
The potion bottle in his hand accidentally dropped to the ground, making a clear Breaking noise.
Countless black mists gushed out from Light's body. The black fog churned continuously and resonated with the endless night, creating a strange rhythm.
"Ah!!!!!!!!"
Boundless Pain eroded Light. With his highly active spirit, the Pain he felt was far more severe than the actual Pain he endured.
Professor Snape, standing outside the door, anxiously looked at Headmaster Dumbledore beside him. Headmaster Dumbledore just shook his head slightly, indicating to Professor Snape not to panic.
Inside the room, Light was floating in the air. His body, wrapped in the black fog, transformed into some kind of black lines that rushed from the outside inwards.
Countless black lines moved along his limbs towards his brain, representing the awakening of the Obscurial's magical creature bloodline, which was about to transform him completely.
Gradually, the invasive and distortive Magic Power began to erupt within Light's body.
From within, it flowed along the black lines covering his body to all parts of his body, and waves of terrifying Magic Power fluctuations continuously radiated outwards.
The wailing never stopped, but the wailing no longer sounded like that of a human. Instead, it was like a combination of various sounds.
It was like the roar of a lion, the howl of a tiger, the rush of a mighty river, the howl of a gale, and even the strange hissing hidden in the darkness.
Anyone who heard these sounds would inexplicably think of the things they feared.
Finally, when all the black lines on Light's body were filled with Magic Power, they gave off a faint glow.
The surging black mist around also flowed back into the body along the black line.
What followed was a deeper Pain that penetrated into the soul. In this boundless Pain, his sharp spirit accurately grasped the Magic Power generated by the magical creature.
This foreign Magic Power was constantly surging deeper into his spirit.
"Is he okay?"
Even though he had read the experiment report and knew the procedure, Professor Snape still sounded extremely worried as he watched Light floating in the air, his body constantly twisting.
"It's okay. We're at the last step. Once he completes the transformation under the right circumstances, it'll be a success," Headmaster Dumbledore said calmly. His eyes glowed with a strange light, as if he could see through everything. However, the tense expression on his face didn't seem to be fake.
Deep in his mind, the foreign Magic Power had penetrated Light's spiritual world.
At the same time, it had also connected with some profound power and was constantly eroding his wizard's Magic Power.
The wizard's Magic Power was generated by the connection between his spirit and soul.
With the support of the increased Transfiguration talent he had before taking the potion, Light controlled his wizard's Magic Power to entangle the foreign Magic Power.
Following an obscure guidance, he used it as a rope to constantly close the distance to his soul.
Outside, Professor Snape kept checking the time, anxiously waiting for the sun to rise. As time passed, his anxiety grew stronger.
Headmaster Dumbledore, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. However, the tapping of his right fingers on his thigh revealed that he was also worried.
In the spiritual world, Light endured all kinds of indescribable Pain and constantly elevated his spiritual world.
As he got closer and closer to the profound soul, his wizard's Magic Power became stronger and stronger, and it even began to erode the foreign Magic Power in return.
Feeling this, Light gritted his teeth and worked even harder to lift himself up.
Meanwhile, a ray of dim light pierced the sky, illuminating the darkest night.
"Here it comes!" Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape both smiled as they watched the sun gradually rising on the horizon, bringing endless light and heat.
Light also felt that the time had come and couldn't climb any higher. As soon as he stopped, a gentle and warm force emerged, seeping into the wizard's Magic Power and the foreign Magic Power, constantly bringing them closer and fusing them.
At the same time, this force also relieved much of Light's Pain.
Outside, Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape looked at Light wrapped in the light like a mummy, and both had strange expressions on their faces.
"What's this?" Professor Snape looked as if he wanted to ask but didn't know how. This annoyed Headmaster Dumbledore, who directly gave triple denials:
"I don't know. I haven't done any Research. Don't ask me!"
"But, isn't there an experiment..." Before Professor Snape could finish, Headmaster Dumbledore interrupted him irritably.
"In total, there are only two cases of transforming into a magical creature including Light. Why do you think I know everything?"
After saying that, he ignored Professor Snape and continued to look at the light - wrapped figure floating in the air.
Inside the spiritual world, Light felt the increasingly scorching light forcing the gloomy foreign Magic Power and the ethereal wizard's Magic Power to merge.
As the two types of Magic Power continued to merge, Light's spirit became stronger and stronger.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet also like only a short while had gone by. Finally, the two types of Magic Power merged at the source, and the Magic Power immediately poured downward.
The brand - new Magic Power once again penetrated the spiritual world. While nourishing the spirit, it Flow along the previously woven black lines to all parts of the body.
Outside, the light that had enveloped Light was completely absorbed.
Professor Snape thought it was all finished. Just as he was about to step forward and bring Light, who was floating in the air, down, Headmaster Dumbledore grabbed him and said,
"Not yet. There should be a transformation!"
Before Headmaster Dumbledore could finish his words, dense black lines appeared on Light's body again, and a more powerful Magic Power than before surged out.
The constantly surging Magic Power instantly filled the small room. Having nowhere to vent, the Magic Power rushed towards the window and the door, turning into a terrifying Magic Power storm.
"Get out of the way! Don't try to block it directly!" Headmaster Dumbledore reacted quickly and reached out to pull Professor Snape, who was standing at the door.
In just a few seconds, the Magic Power storm stopped, and the surging Magic Power was instantly absorbed back.
