Another day passed.
Although Irina was awake, her injuries had not fully healed, so she still had to stay in the school hospital for treatment.
However, Lynn was discharged from the hospital with Madame Pomfrey's approval and was able to return to his normal life on campus.
"Maybe I still need more power..."
After returning to the dormitory, Lynn sat alone in the empty room, speaking to himself.
Originally, he thought he was strong enough, and relying on the alchemy circle, which worked at over 300 rounds per second, would be enough to deal with most enemies. But now he realized how terribly wrong he had been!
Indeed, with Lynn's alchemy level applied in battle, no one in the entire Auror office could match him.
However, danger never comes from the majority, but from the overlooked minority!
What Lynn meant by power wasn't just magical power. After all, with the Devil's power and the philosofer's Stone as an energy source, the magical power Lynn could unleash at once could even rival that of a high-level wizard.
But without a powerful spell to match the raw magical energy, then magical power alone wouldn't be enough to reverse the situation.
"I need some powerful spells, I don't even care if they're Dark Magic..."
Lynn muttered softly, clenching his fists.
He had once thought the alchemy circle was enough to handle any battle, and that there was no need for Dark Magic, which could affect his very soul. But after the battle with the Basilisk, he had realized how wrong he was.
If he had mastered the Inferno Curse during his time in the Chamber of Slytherin, then when Irina retrieved the diary, he could have used the Inferno Curse to destroy the diary, making everything easier, instead of watching her suffer under the Cruciatus Curse and being powerless to do anything.
In fact, he had had countless opportunities to come into contact with magical spells that could have strengthened his power, but he had chosen comfort.
"Life is born with sorrow and ends with joy."
During the first two years at Hogwarts, Lynn's life had been so peaceful that he, who was once cautious, had become complacent with a stable life.
"If I remember correctly, when Professor Snape was a student, the textbooks contained a very deadly form of Dark Magic."
Lynn stood up and left the dormitory.
According to his memory of the original work, Harry obtained the Half-Blood Prince's Potions textbook in his sixth year, so the book should still be stored in the advanced Potions classroom right now.
Slytherin's dormitory wasn't far from the underground classroom where the advanced students took Potions. After all, both were underground in Hogwarts Castle.
It was Sunday, and all the professors and students were on break. Moreover, with the Basilisk killed and the crisis in Hogwarts resolved, the professors no longer patrolled the castle day and night, so the Potions classroom was empty.
"Alohomora!"
Lynn walked out of the empty advanced Potions classroom and used the unlocking charm to open the door.
After entering the classroom, Lynn walked directly to a storage cabinet in the corner of the room. The cabinet contained some potion ingredients used in class, some scales, and other tools for processing materials, as well as some old and broken materials.
Lynn pulled out all those old textbooks and quickly rifled through them.
Soon, he saw a line of small words on the bottom of the back cover of a copy of Advanced Potion Making by Libatius Borage: This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince.
Upon seeing this line, Lynn's face lit up. He tucked the book into his pocket and prepared to leave.
Before leaving the classroom, Lynn didn't forget to put the books he had previously taken back into the storage cabinet.
---
Lynn returned to the dormitory, pulled out the Half-Blood Prince's Potions textbook, and began reading it.
Lynn could see the notes of student Snape on the formulas and production processes of potions on nearly every page of the textbook. These brilliant thoughts made Lynn admit that student Snape was indeed a genius in Potions.
However, Lynn's purpose was not these notes on potions, but the magical spells invented by Snape that were recorded in the book.
At first, Lynn saw some mischievous spells, such as a curse that made the toes of the cursed person grow wildly, a curse that made the cursed person's tongue stick to the roof of their mouth, and a spell that caused a person's ears to fill with an unidentifiable ringing sound.
Moreover, in the corner of the last page of the textbook, there was a curse written in scribbled notes. This curse seemed to have been hastily written and revised countless times, and finally, the following words appeared side by side: Muffiato.
In addition to the Muffiato Curse, the book also recorded the method of casting the spell to break the curse of the bell when it fell to the ground.
"This is something good."
Lynn took the spell-casting technique of the Muffiato Curse seriously.
The Reversed Golden Bell Curse was a spell with an extremely strong control capacity but was relatively easy to cast. You should know that Harry in the original book only read the spell once and was able to cast it successfully.
Moreover, the Reversed Golden Bell Curse was extremely covert. It didn't require wizards to practice silent spell-casting skills. It was a silent spell by itself.
After flipping through the book, Lynn started over from the beginning. This time he read more carefully.
Indeed, in an empty space in the textbook, he saw a spell: Sectumsempra.
In addition to this curse, Lynn also saw the three words "for the enemy" written underneath.
Finally, I found it!
Lynn's eyebrows widened as he recited the spell softly.
To Lynn, the power of Sectumsempra was only surpassed by the three Unforgivable Curses and the Inferno Curse. If a wizard is struck by Sectumsempra, without a counter-curse, the part of their body cut by it cannot regenerate in any way, and the wound will never heal.
If, on the night he faced the Basilisk, Lynn had forcibly drawn the magical power from the philosofer's stone when it exploded, and if the magical spell he cast on the Basilisk hadn't been the explosion spell but Sectumsempra, there would have been no need for Lynn to use the Anti-Magic Stone. With the Divine Sword of Fendo, just one divine sword could have split the Basilisk in half!
In Lynn's view, this Sectumsempra was almost a perfect Dark Magic. It has minimal impact on the caster's mind, but its power is much greater than most Dark Magic.
If we had to talk about its flaws, perhaps the fact that its counter-curse wasn't recorded in this textbook would be one.
However, this flaw wasn't a flaw at all for Lynn.
After all, the Half-Blood Prince had clearly written in his textbook that this spell should be used on enemies.
When facing an enemy, it's a life-or-death situation, and Lynn didn't need the so-called counter-curse.
