Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 523 Starry Sky Labyrinth! The power of the 4th Academy's inherited magic is doubled!

"Everyone, cast spells to reinforce it and hold out until the setup is complete!"

In the critical moment, Dumbledore, along with a group of professors and leaders from both inside and outside the school, used their twin wands to reinforce the magical shield remotely.

Outside the protective shield, more than a dozen dark red rune beams of light had not yet dried up and continued to bombard the area.

With Grindelwald and Ecclesia launching coordinated attacks from different directions, the two sides were locked in a stalemate thanks to the magical shield.

However, it was clear that the Hogwarts side, empowered by the twin wands, had the upper hand, and the massive magical shield gradually stopped trembling and became stable.

About fifteen minutes later, just as Grindelwald was about to ruthlessly order an increased sacrificial effort and launch another wave of even more bloody attacks, the Hogwarts side inside the protective barrier stopped.

Because the adult white wizards of England and the friendly house-elves scattered throughout the land have already completed the planned arrangements.

Grindelwald, unaware of the situation, sensed something was amiss, but they had to seize the opportunity to destroy this tough, massive tortoise shell first.

"The white wizard inside is exhausted and unable to reinforce the shield. Order all units to continue the all-out attack!"

Grindelwald boosted morale with the Saints' Mark and issued another round of orders.

Encouraged, although they did not use the sacrificial magic again, the attack power from all directions also experienced a small burst.

Unbeknownst to Grindelwald's besieging forces, the blurry view of Hogwarts' interior that they could see through the darkness and the translucent golden shield had silently transformed into an illusion.

Everything seemed normal, and the White Wizards inside didn't make any obvious big moves.

In reality, Hogwarts was using the methods they had just set up to concentrate on preparations for battle.

"The no-fly zone and the Starry Sky Labyrinth magic base have been fully set up throughout Hogwarts. From this moment on, I will be in charge of everything as the magic center."

On the playground in front of the castle, Dali spoke without hesitation.

As the mastermind behind Project Sharpening Stone, he was unwilling to use his extraordinary power to interfere too much with the White Wizard's training results.

However, as an important member of Hogwarts, he couldn't possibly slack off and do nothing in this final battle.

Therefore, as a compromise, Dudley came up with the idea of ​​serving as the magic hub.

The so-called no-fly zone is a magical area within which all black magic-based flight magic is prohibited.

This technique is an ancient magic. After Dudley included it in the Hogwarts Library and the Dream Realm Library, it was learned by some white wizards and modified to some extent.

Now that they need to deal with the Saints' army, which has already mastered the Smoke Flight Charm, the No-Fly Zone was naturally the first thing the White Wizards thought of, and they made intensive preparations before the battle.

The Starry Sky Labyrinth is a sophisticated composite magic created by Dudley based on the Department of Mysteries' historical research on 'space' magic, combined with the Black family's ancestral star magic, as well as knowledge of space magic, illusion magic, and mental magic.

This method, when used on the battlefield, can divide the battlefield space within the magical influence range at the wielder's will, creating multiple maze-like environments of celestial bodies, and freely adjusting the positions of friendly and enemy forces, with endless applications.

Of course, the effectiveness of magic depends on the wizard's magical skill level, which controls the magic center.

Over the past six months, Dudley's avatar in the realm of dreams has accelerated his time a thousand times or even more, allowing him to absorb all the extraordinary knowledge from ancient times to the present and to innovate and create a large number of new spells.

His current magical skill surpasses that of legendary wizards by hundreds or even thousands of times, making his strength immeasurable.

Therefore, as the central figure of magic, no matter how many or how powerful the dark wizards are, he can easily control them with a mere thought.

At the same time, casting the 'Starry Night Maze' spell, which covers the entire Hogwarts grounds, is also a matter of a casual wave of his hand.

However, he still chose to use the many magical base points he had created, allowing adult white wizards and house-elves to disperse and deploy them during the tense pre-battle period, in order to increase the white wizards' sense of participation and reduce his own role.

In addition, Dudley can use the excuse of being unable to handle the situation to avoid personally slaughtering dark wizards and reduce the training pressure on white wizards.

They can also play a supporting role through legitimate means, controlling the course of the battle and ensuring the White Wizards' side wins the final victory.

He shattered Grindelwald's delusional wish to let the dark wizard win, and from now on, he'll obediently be Dumbledore's... you know.

Of course, in the subsequent distribution of the spoils, Dudley would give Grindelwald a larger share to reflect his contribution to the surrender and help him win public support from the White Wizards' camp.

Closer to home.

After Dudley declared his intention to become the magic center, he ignored the nods of those around him and immediately waved his hand to cast a spell, subtly activating the Starry Sky Enchanted Realm magic.

Under the illusion's cover, everyone within the Hogwarts grounds, except for the castle's occupants and the magical creatures allies, transformed into streaks of starlight and, under Dudley's control, converged in the center of the Hogwarts playground.

Once the starlight had returned to its original form, Dumbledore spoke solemnly:

"Having been tempered and accumulated through accelerated time in the dream realm, and having undergone pre-battle psychological assessments, I believe that everyone here, regardless of age or whether they are students or professors, is psychologically prepared to face this brutal battle."

In this battle, we are not only fighting to protect Hogwarts, but also to protect all white wizards in the world!

I believe that everyone is not afraid to sacrifice and will fight bravely with all their might, but I must remind everyone that when fighting against the dark wizard, you must not harm yourselves or drag your companions down because of kindness and mercy!

If everyone agrees with what I've said and is ready for battle, then let's shout out Hogwarts' revised motto together!

Upon hearing Dumbledore's pre-battle declaration, the Hogwarts students and teachers led the way, and all the white wizards present shouted in unison:

"Do not disturb the sleeping dragon; those who do will be severely punished!"

"it is good!"

Dumbledore was also feeling excited. He looked at the huge protective shield in the distance and knew that although the shield had developed cracks, it could still hold for a while longer.

Then, in an orderly manner, the preparatory orders for the final battle were issued: "Hogwarts students and teachers, line up and use your twin wands to imbue all your companions with the four house inheritance magic!"

Upon hearing this, the Hogwarts teachers and students immediately sprang into action, each wielding a twin wand and dividing into four teams.

The teams are not strictly divided according to the four houses of Hogwarts, but rather according to the degree of mastery of the four traditional spells by Hogwarts teachers and students.

Everyone learned a variety of inherited magic, but there was always one that they were most proficient in. They would join the spellcasting team of the inherited magic that they were most proficient in.

Next, the four teams cast spells in turn, first on the other white wizards and allied magical creatures, then on their partners in other teams and themselves.

Those in the first row are Hogwarts teachers and students who use Ravenclaw's inherited magic.

The reason they were placed in the first row is simply because the Eagle Academy's inherited magic has a dual-casting auxiliary effect.

"The crown of intellect!"

The first row of Hogwarts students and teachers used their twin wands to work together and put on magnificent, translucent magical crowns for everyone.

As long as this magical crown remains, wizards aided by it will have clear minds, enhanced combat wisdom, and the ability to cast spells in multiple ways.

The next three groups of Hogwarts students and teachers received double the magical effects due to the double casting blessing.

"The sword of courage!"

"Loyalty and unwavering shield!"

"Box of Ambition!"

Soon, the Hogwarts side, besides having a semi-transparent magical crown floating above their heads, were surrounded by two controllable and powerful magical flying swords and two magical light boxes that shimmered with precious light. They also had two large, semi-transparent, inverted golden cup shields, adding to their all-around protection.

The magic passed down in the four academies today has been further optimized compared to the beginning.

The most significant change is that the Sword of Courage and the Chest of Ambition, which could originally only be used by oneself, can now be attached to others and put under their control.

Therefore, although the magic passed down from the four houses is a secret of Hogwarts, it is not taught to the members of the seven exchange teams.

Although adult white wizards in Britain have mastered the magic passed down through the Four Houses through continuing education training sessions and exchanges in the realm of dreams, they currently cannot amplify the power of spells tenfold without the blessing of twin wands.

With Hogwarts students and teachers as teammates, everyone and allies of the magical creatures can enjoy the four houses' inherited magic, amplified tenfold.

Then, Dumbledore had all those with twin wands cast a Love Protection spell on them.

The magical creatures are allies, and Hagrid and Newt also join forces to protect them with love.

Having completed this crucial pre-battle preparation of group buffing, Dudley continued to act as the magic center, activating the Starry Sky Enchanted Magic to transform the White Wizards and their magical creature allies into starlight, which landed at various defensive positions throughout Hogwarts.

The allocation at this time was based on the offensive forces from all directions. The Forbidden Forest on the eastern front and the Black Lake on the southern front were allocated fewer defensive forces, and most of them were allies of the magical creatures.

Grindelwald on the northern front and Erkris on the western front are formidable forces, judging by the sheer number of attackers they bring. Naturally, they require the strength of the strongest among the White Wizards to counter them.

As the overall commander of this battle, Dumbledore also had Dudley gather the combatants who currently possessed twin wands.

The group included all Hogwarts faculty and staff, Hogwarts students (excluding those remaining at the castle) and returning graduates within the last five years, professors, team leaders and students from the seven exchange teams, as well as some of Dudley's British adult white wizards' relatives and friends, totaling about 450 people.

As an offensive force to confront the strongest enemy on the northern front.

Despite having fewer than 500 people, most of them are strong individuals. If they unleash a concentrated attack using their twin wands, it would be enough to shatter the approximately 10,000 humanoid magical creatures under Grindelwald's command and severely injure the elite saints behind them.
