BXBX NOVEL Chapter 774: The Seal Magic and The Raven's Claw
Chapter 774: The Seal Magic and The Raven\'s Claw
The Dementor’s kiss was even more direct, sucking out one’s soul directly through the mouth-to-mouth method.
The terrible evil gods needed flesh and blood, but their thoughts could also have special effects on one’s soul.
“Yes, but note what I’ve said, this is not simply destroying or detaching. The Cyclops’s soul is strong. It will not be easily damaged. No wizard can do it. It is actually still in the body of the Cyclops, but just because of that membrane, his soul and consciousness cannot perceive his own body, and they are separated in this way! “
Evan nodded hesitantly; it seemed like the Cyclops was in a vegetative state.
The Cyclops had lost his ability to consciously move because of magic, but his nervous system could maintain his autonomous breathing and heartbeat, maintain basic life functions, leaving him in an irreversible deep coma.
“At the core of this sealing magic is the giant statue that had just collapsed. The magical crack in it extended deep into the core of the earth, all the way to the position of the Cyclops. After Ravenclaw finished the seal, Gryffindor left his scabbard to hold his essence, making it my body,” said the young man. He seemed very happy that Evan finally understood what he said. “I was inserted in the statue, and my main function was to absorb power from the Cyclops’s body, use that power to maintain the seal magic, and fight with his soul and consciousness in dreams for a thousand years.”
Evan looked at the young man quietly. The latter’s so-called basic explanation of magic content made him even more confused.
A thousand years ago, what did Ravenclaw and Gryffindor do to the sleeping Cyclops?!! Between the membrane, the looping energy system involving the scabbard, mixing energy and thoughts, and more… This was magic far more complex than anything Evan had ever seen.
“All you need to know is that the scabbard in your hand is my body, and my essence is Gryffindor’s thoughts. For a thousand years, absorbing huge power from the Cyclops gave me this astral form…” The teenager touched his hair and smiled again. “You can think of me as a seventeen-year-old Gryffindor, or as a special energy body. Anyway, his thoughts are dissipating, and I will soon return to the purest state of energy.”
There was a moment of silence. Evan didn’t know what to say to him.
No matter what his existence was, the complete disappearance into pure energy was not a good thing after all… It was the death of this being!
He should be sad, but the young man didn’t seem to mind this fate. He kept smiling all the time, looking at Evan.
“Well, if that statue is the basis for sealing Cyclops magic, it has just been destroyed.” Evan said.
“Don’t worry, that cyclops is already very old and has come to the end of his life. Although his body is still there, his soul and consciousness have completely dissipated long ago. The seal has lost its meaning and my mission has been completed,” said the teenager. “In fact, Ravenclaw’s magic may have helped him survive for longer to some extent; otherwise, his body left in the magma below would have died. But now, even though his soul is gone, the powerful shell is still there, which is the real problem.”
“In my previous vision, I saw thirteen Dark wizards. What are they doing?” Evan asked. “Since the Cyclops is dead in soul and consciousness, they can’t wake him up, can they?”
“This is what I mean by trouble!” The young man sighed, and put his hands behind his head again. “For the past thousand years, the terrible big guy underground has been fighting me. He kept looking for loopholes in the membrane left by Ravenclaw, hoping to regain control of his own body, and every time he tossed, the nearby volcano erupted.”
Evan suddenly realized that Mount Etna in Sicily was the volcano with the most eruptions in the world. The real reason was here. Because of the resistance of the Cyclops below, it caused frequent outbreaks.
“The membrane left by Ravenclaw has been destroyed by him over and over again, and I have been repairing it continuously. The Cyclops has been looking for ways to get out of trouble through various means, but he was too old and his soul was getting weaker and weaker. I have absorbed the strength in his body and I was getting stronger and stronger. So he has not been successful. After hundreds of attempts, he has changed his strategy, not directly controlling his own body, but trying to contact other creatures to save him.” The young man looked at Evan and continued, “His primary target was the nearby giants. They are all his descendants, but the giants do not know magic, so they have not succeeded. Then, he found a group of Dark wizards.”
“The thirteen Dark wizards I saw?”
“Not them. It was more than 600 years ago when he was connected to the original Dark Wizards,” said the young man. “But they were all a group called Raven’s Claw. I have heard them mention the name of the organization more than once.”
“Raven’s Claw?!” Evan was surprised.
This mad cult, which originated 600 years ago, had been propagating the revelation of the Apocalypse and the evil gods they wanted to liberate.
Before coming here, Nicolas Flamel had also specifically warned Evan to be careful of the Raven’s Claw resurfacing.
Evan had thought they were up to something behind the scenes in the lighthouse, but he had no idea what they could do with the Cyclops.
“This organization should be related to Rowena Ravenclaw, because the curse of the family needed to be broken. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor had come to this area many times. I was the one they left when they first came here,” The young man continued. “The Dark wizards have been following Ravenclaw’s footsteps, looking for the remains of various ancient times, as though planning to do something. Hundreds of years ago, they got in touch with the Cyclops below, but they didn’t take any action at that time. They just passed through the passage inside the cave, looked deep into the core of the earth and disappeared. I thought they had forgotten this matter or were scared away, but I was wrong!”
