'Ssshhh...'
Andy shivered.
Although it was of little use, Andy wrapped himself up in his little quilt for a little psychological comfort.
Reed was locked in a corner, motionless, and looked as if he were already dead.
But he was alive!
The magic of death was eroding his body.
If he could just survive this, Reed would be able to steal the magic of death truly. From then on, he would ride the wind and soar 90,000 miles into the sky.
If he fails...
Andy glanced at Reed and already knew the outcome.
Failing meant death!
Unlike other more gentle natural magic, the magic of death was very domineering. Stealing this magic was like betting one's life.
Perhaps... this cannot be called natural magic.
It is magic of another dimension!
Unlike the sun and moon magic used in Animagus transformation, the magic of death came from another dimension, which sounded more high-end.
Time passed minute by minute.
Andy waited patiently.
Half an hour later, Reed still hadn't moved.
But the white frost on his body had faded, and the temperature in the laboratory had risen again.
"Ugh!"
Sighing, Andy went over to check.
Reed was dead!
Andy's expressionless face had a touch of sadness.
The experiment had failed, but it could also be said to have succeeded.
It failed because Reed was dead.
It succeeded because Andy had successfully brewed the magic potion containing the magic of death. This magic of death had also successfully transformed Reed's body, giving him the power of death.
In other words, dark magic transfiguration could theoretically be successful. But in reality, it depended on whether Andy could survive through it.
"Hoo..."
Andy let out a breath, pondering deep inside.
The theory was fine.
The actual operation was also fine.
But the entire process of dark magic transfiguration is to gamble with one's life.
After all, the magic of death comes from another dimension. This power is very overbearing, and it is either life or death.
If you use a gentler kind of magic...
Tsk!
In the end, Andy still can't bear to give up the magic of death.
Because the magic of death is related to the soul, and the soul is the cornerstone of eternity.
If the body can become the ultimate resting place of the soul, then perhaps the soul will undergo some miraculous changes.
'Actually, it's not completely hopeless.'
First, Reed's condition was very poor.
He has been imprisoned by Andy for more than four months, and Andy has also controlled him with the Imperius Curse for more than four months, subjecting him to physical and extreme mental torture.
Second, Andy's 'Will' is very high.
If he waits another four months, Andy can even increase his Will talent to seven points—seven is a magical number.
Perhaps you could say it is the difference between mortal and supernatural.
Moreover, the 'Will' attribute is inherently effective against the negative effects of magic.
A 'Will' attribute of seven might be able to immunise against the chill of death magic to a certain extent.
Finally, Andy had once been in the Death Chamber and had truly faced the power behind the curtain.
Andy's body was able to adapt a bit to that sensation now!
"..."
After a moment of silence, Andy once again examined Reed's physical condition.
Holding the tip of his wand against Reed's body, Andy tried to use magic to analyse what was going on inside Reed.
In fact, it was possible for Reed to survive. The transformation of the body by the magic of death probably took half an hour.
And from Reed's situation, it seemed that he died twenty minutes after taking the magic potion.
In other words, in less than ten minutes, Reed could survive this dark magic transfiguration.
This result gave Andy great confidence!
Andy was 80% sure that he could survive this transformation.
In addition, Reed's body did seem a little different.
Magic comes from life!
When the magic of death entered Reed's body, it transformed life, giving Reed's magic a deathly taint and greatly enhancing its power.
Unfortunately, Reed was already dead, so Andy could not intuitively feel the effect of the dark magic transfiguration.
As for the soul...
Andy couldn't detect it.
'Hmm...'
'Done!'
After hesitating for a moment, Andy made up his mind and decided to use the magic of death to transform his magic, thereby stealing the power of death.
There was no better power than this!
After burying Reed, Andy looked at the time.
Nine o'clock!
It would take a little while for him to return from the Forbidden Forest to the castle.
So Andy still had forty minutes to spare.
The Resurrection Stone, the ingredients for the potion... Andy went through everything he needed for the dark magic transfiguration.
Once he was sure there were no problems, Andy calmed down a little.
"Finally, I've come this far!" Andy muttered.
It was already late, so Andy decided to start his dark magic transfiguration tomorrow.
If everything went well, Andy would probably complete the dark magic transfiguration in March or April next year.
Andy was excited.
After so long of planning, it was finally time to reap the rewards.
Although Reed's death had a certain impact on Andy, it also made Andy a little scared. But after examining Reed's condition, Andy was already 80 to 90% sure.
In fact, if Reed's condition had been a little better, he might have survived this dark magic transfiguration.
But his condition was so bad!
He had been locked up in a dark dungeon for four months; and then had been controlled by Andy with the Imperius curse for another four months.
The moment the Imperius curse was lifted, he even had to endure inhuman pain and cold.
Andy can't imagine what was going on inside his mind at that time!
This may be the main reason for his failure.
Once a decision has been made, Andy will not hesitate.
But there is still a problem.
How many times will Andy undergo a magic transformation (transfiguration)?
Dumbledore once said that Voldemort had undergone several types of dark magic transformations.
That is crazy!
Different magical powers merging with each other can have serious aftereffects, even if the body can withstand it.
If you merge with the same power every time... a large amount of foreign magical power can also trigger serious aftereffects.
'Merging with a magical power; in fact, once is enough!'
Andy thought, 'What I need is the magic of death, no matter how much. What's important is having this power.'
Voldemort was kind of a bit greedy!
'But...'
'After the body has fully adapted to the magic of death, it's not impossible to steal it a second time.'
After deliberating for a moment, Andy had an idea in mind.
Pop!
Using the Apparition spell, Andy returned to the Forbidden Forest, where he used the Disillusionment Charm to hide his figure and returned to Hogwarts Castle quietly.
Lying on the bed, Andy couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Tomorrow, he would begin his own magic transformation.
His long-cherished wish was about to come true, and Andy was looking forward to how much a successful dark magic transfiguration would improve him.
Especially...the body after the magic transfiguration might be able to perfectly accommodate the power of the Obscurus!
