Chapter 111 Immunity Means Death, Strength Soars! I haven't even arrived yet, what's with the banquet?!
Behind the trapdoor at the end of the fourth-floor corridor, Louie, the three-headed dog, lay there lazily, his former ferocity seemingly gone, replaced by the relaxed air unique to a laid-back worker.
These days, Charles comes almost every day to have it spayed.
Lou Williams initially felt humiliated and angry, but later, he figured, "So be it."
Anyway, it couldn't beat the little monster Shire, and its request to leave was ruthlessly rejected by that old geezer Dumbledore.
What else can it do?
Since life is already so tough, the only thing we can do is to relax and let go of our worries.
So now, it is extremely cooperative with Charles. As soon as Charles comes in, it spreads its hind legs so that Charles can finish quickly and leave, so that it can suffer less.
However, this time, when the trapdoor rattled again and Charles came in again.
Despite having its hind legs separated, Luwei did not experience the familiar feeling of being neutered. Instead, it turned to look at Shire, and all three pairs of eyes revealed a human-like sense of bewilderment.
What's wrong with the little devil today?
Is the knife dull?
Then, Lou Williams saw Charles raise a vial of blood-red potion.
Even through the glass bottle, Luwei could smell a scent emanating from it that made its blood run wild.
A look of longing appeared in Lou Williams' eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the person standing in front of it was Sharl, whom it was terrified of to the core, it would have pounced on him long ago.
Charles was quite satisfied with Lou Williams' reaction.
He then tossed the potion of atavism to Lu Wei.
Without thinking, Lu Wei opened his mouth and swallowed the atavistic drug along with the test tube.
Its gaze toward Charles became even more puzzled, and its heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Why is the little devil suddenly being so nice to me, even giving me a magic potion?
broken!
Is this my last meal before my execution? Starting today, not only will I have to have my little head chopped off, but also my dog's head?
Just as Louie was filled with terror, suddenly, an intense heat surged through its entire body from its belly.
At this moment, the blood of the three-headed dog seemed to surge violently, rushing through its veins at an unprecedented speed.
After the initial burning sensation, what spreads along the veins is a chilling coldness, like that from the underworld.
Filth, poison, and the stench of death began to spread within the three-headed dog's body.
Louie let out a deep roar, and its body underwent a transformation at the same time.
Where the three heads once stood, flesh was writhing and forming tumor-like protrusions.
Then, a new head, about the same size as the original one, burst through the tumor and emerged.
One, two...
In no time, Lou Williams grew more than twenty new heads from his original three.
On its enormous body, countless heads occupied every corner of its neck and even shoulders.
If anyone else were here, they would probably be so frightened by the sight that they would faint, or even develop trypophobia.
But Charles wore a satisfied smile.
"The atavism potion has really worked."
"Although it didn't turn Lou Williams into a real Cerberus, the concentration of his bloodline seems to be much higher than before."
The legendary three-headed dog Cerberus is said to have had a total of fifty heads!
With over twenty-five heads, Lou Williams is arguably the closest being to Cerberus in this near-ancient era.
By taking its blood and combining it with Deep Blue's deductions, Ciel could integrate Cerberus into his magical Animagus, gaining a second transformation.
If Gu Long brought surging power, then Cerberus represents death and the underworld!
At that moment, all of Lu Wei's dozens of heads turned around, their countless eyes all looking in Ciel's direction, and the brutal bestiality in their eyes began to resurface.
The already tireless and thick-skinned Cerberus became even more terrifying after its ancestral nature was reverted to.
The mere increase in physical strength would allow Lou Williams to easily tear apart his former self.
At the same time, it was no longer just about brute force as before. As a new head grew out, Lou Williams found that his breath carried the aura of death.
It can spray venom from its mouth, and its head can spew out poisonous fire from the legendary hell.
All of these methods are tantamount to certain death.
Lou Williams felt incredibly strong right now!
What is Ciel?
Call Dumbledore over, and he'll keep that old man tied up here, making people get sterilized every day!
But before that, it has to settle all the scores with Xia Er!
Lou Williams looked down at Charles, his eyes revealing cruelty and mockery.
Charles paused for a moment, then a playful look appeared on his face.
"That's interesting. You think you're all that now, huh? You even dare to look down on me?"
"Then I'll play along with you."
The next moment, Ciel waved his wand.
An indescribable, platinum-gold demon god, surrounded by raging platinum-gold flames, appeared in the room.
The Sovereign God Mantra, combined with the Holy Kingdom Mantra, had already eliminated so many Dementors before, and now it had eliminated dozens of Eight-Eyed Giant Spiders. In addition, with the repeated transformations in Xia Er's mental strength, its power was on a completely different level compared to before.
After Lu Wei reverted to his ancestral form, the increasingly intense aura of death, filth, and the underworld emanating from him was being completely countered by holy magic.
Although the restraint between the sacred and the impure is relative, and powerful impure can in turn defile the sacred, even though Luwei possesses the bloodline of Cerberus, he is still far from being Cerberus, the legendary guardian of the gates of the underworld.
Trying to counter Ciel's holy magic is like an ant trying to shake a tree!
At first, Lou Williams was confused about the situation. Dozens of heads roared in unison, letting out a low growl full of fighting spirit.
Even a god would be torn to shreds if he stood in the way of Cerberus!
It charged toward the indescribable, white-gold demon god.
The next moment, the divine tentacles extending from the platinum-gold demon god merged into an incredibly thick tentacle, which lashed out at Lu Wei as if whipping a spinning top.
Lou Williams was instantly spun around by the blow, and collapsed to the ground in a twirl.
When it finally reacted, it let out a humiliating growl and prepared to get up from the ground to fight again, but the ancient dragon body on the platinum demon god stretched out its claws and pressed down hard.
Boom!
On the ground, countless cracks spread out like a spider web, and Lou Williams was driven into the ground as if he had been driven into a pile.
Gu Long is known for his power; his magic is violent, and his physical body is equally violent.
Cerberus's physical body is indeed very strong, but it's no match for an Elder Dragon in terms of strength. Let alone someone like Fluffy, whose bloodline is only partially regressed, he shouldn't even think about fighting an Elder Dragon.
While Lou Williams was still struggling to emerge from the ground, the platinum-colored ancient dragon claws seemed to be playing a game of swatting a mole.
Boom, boom, boom...
The continuous bombardment and shockwaves relentlessly pounded on Lu Wei's head until the eyes of Lu Wei's dozens of heads regained their clarity, and he felt the fear of being dominated by Ciel.
Lou Williams let out a whimpering sound, as if to say that he dared not do it again and that he had come to his senses.
This little wizard in front of him was just too monstrous. Even Fluffy thought that Dumbledore would soon be smashed into the ground like this.
It's too dangerous to mess with. It's a pitiful, weak, and helpless little dog weighing only a few tons. It's really too dangerous to mess with such a terrifying existence!
Then, the ancient dragon's claws shot out, pulling Louie out of the floor like a scallion, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.
Ciel waved his wand and caught a full bottle of Cerberus's blood.
Then he looked Lou Williams up and down.
This is already a case of bloodline reversion, so I believe the deduction points it provides should be more than when it was a regular Cerberus, right?
Ciel remembered that there didn't seem to be any recipes for Cerberus on the magical cookbooks mentioned in Hufflepuff's Kitchen.
It seems that even the founder of Hufflepuff never enjoyed this kind of ingredient. As a member of Hufflepuff, how could I miss it?
So Ciel neutered Fulve again, obtaining Cerberus's penis and testicles.
He also picked off several huge dog heads as if he were picking vegetables, before restoring the floor of the room and leaving satisfied.
As Lou Williams watched Charles leave, his gaze instantly darkened.
Before, they only used dog whips and dog testicles, but now they're even going to include dog heads?
I'm so angry and cold. Why are you only targeting me?
Luwei lay in the corner, stretching out his paws and clumsily practicing writing.
It decided to practice its handwriting diligently and find an opportunity to write to the Ministry of Magic, urging them to quickly enact laws to protect Cerberus.
"We can't count on that despicable old bee Dumbledore. We Cerberus will have to use the law to protect ourselves. If that doesn't work, how about we put him in a zoo? This place is practically animal abuse!"
……
Leaving aside Lu Wei's deep resentment, Ciel had already returned to his room with the blood of the three-headed dog and set up protective magic.
Upon seeing the large bottle of blood in the glass jar, Charles couldn't help but reveal excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
After waiting for so long, the real Cerberus is finally about to reappear in the mortal world!
The next moment, he uncapped the bottle and gulped down the blood of the three-headed dog, while simultaneously giving a low shout in his mind.
"Deep Blue, analyze the Cerberus bloodline magic for me!"
A moment later, as a full million deduction points were deducted, Deep Blue emitted a mechanical notification in Xia Er's mind.
"Host detected to have acquired Cerberus bloodline; Cerberus magic analysis in progress..."
"The Cerberus bloodline has shown signs of reversion to its ancestral form, with a large amount of Cerberus magic appearing. The magic is being further analyzed..."
"Analysis complete! Host has discerned the magical properties of Cerberus!"
"Does the host confirm the use of Cerberus as the second Animagus transformation spell?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Charles decisively agreed.
Immediately, he felt another kind of magic, different from that of the ancient dragon but equally ancient and powerful, begin to flow in his blood.
It was as if ancient ice and bottomless darkness contained within this magic, and everything about death, filth, cold, poison, curses and so on surfaced in Charles's mind.
At this moment, Deep Blue also issued a series of notifications.
"The host has come into contact with advanced materials related to the realm of death, meaning the points required for deducing death-related dark magic have decreased significantly!"
"The host has come into contact with high-level materials related to curses, significantly reducing the points required for curse-type dark magic!"
"..."
"All subsequent dark magic deductions by the host will be exempt from deduction points up to the third deduction; the points required for the fourth deduction and beyond will also be significantly reduced!"
Charles took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with uncontrollable elation.
Before the magical Animagus transformation even began, the Cerberus's magic gave him an unexpected and enormous surprise.
Directly exempt all deduction points required for the following three deductions in the Dark Magic Domain?
This is arguably the most powerful damage reduction effect that Shire has ever encountered!
But thinking about it, it makes sense; the legendary Cerberus lives in the underworld.
In legends, the underworld is a place where negative emotions such as death, filth, coldness, and terror gather.
Isn't this exactly what black magic is all about?
Having acquired the magic from Cerberus, it's naturally an epic upgrade for dark magic!
However, at this moment, Ciel's entire focus is still on the Cerberus magic itself.
He let out a deep, muffled growl.
"Magic Animagus - Cerberus Transformation..."
"Begin!"
The next moment, Charles's body suddenly swelled up.
A brutal, bestial nature began to emerge from him, along with an aura of coldness, despair, and death.
The temperature in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point, and everything seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.
The vibrant world seemed to have turned into black and white, cold and lifeless!
In this environment, Charles not only did not feel uncomfortable, but he felt right at home and had a sense of comfort.
His body continued to expand, and in a short time, he transformed into a giant dog about the same size as Louie.
Unlike Lou Williams, Ciel's Cerberus form exudes an even more terrifying aura.
Compared to the aura emanating from Ciel, what was called brutality by Lu Wei was nothing more than the docileness of a puppy.
At the same time, Charles's field of vision became incredibly wide, a complete 360-degree view.
He could see countless heads growing on his neck, exactly fifty, no more, no less—a true Cerberus!
Although it is far inferior to Cerberus, the legendary guardian of the underworld, and might even be swallowed whole by him, in this near-ancient era, Cerberus, like the ancient dragons, represents invincibility and death!
Charles opened his mouth, and three different types of breath—venom, ice, and poisonous fire—instantly spewed out from his three most powerful heads, filled with the magic that represented death.
Charles had no doubt that, in addition to its own poison, ice, and fire, this breath itself was enough to kill any life that came into contact with it.
This is an instant-death spell comparable to a killing curse!
At the same time, Cerberus, the three-headed dog that represents death and guards the underworld, will naturally have its influence from the magic of death greatly reduced.
This means that in his Cerberus form, Ciel is virtually immune to all instant-death magic.
A deadly curse?
The basilisk's gaze?
All exempt!
This is what Ciel values most!
After all, while the scales and skin of an ancient dragon provide strong protection, they may not be immune to powerful killing curses.
If he encounters someone like Dumbledore who doesn't use the Killing Curse, it's fine. But if he encounters a fully-powered Voldemort or Grindelwald, the Shire wouldn't dare gamble on whether he can withstand the Killing Curse using magical protection.
But Cerberus doesn't have this problem; even Voldemort's Killing Curse can't harm it!
Then, Ciel canceled the Cerberus transformation and reverted to his wizard form.
Even after returning from his Animagus magical state, Ciel's wizard form was still replenished by the Cerberus's magic.
His physical strength was further enhanced under the influence of Cerberus.
Now, his physical strength far surpasses that of Hagrid, a half-giant. Beneath his slender, handsome appearance lies a ferocious magical creature, capable of wrestling with mountain monsters!
With his physical strength alone, Sharl could defeat most wizards and make them flee in terror!
As for the intensity of his magic in wizard form, it also reached the peak level of the near-ancient era under the influence of Cerberus's ancient magic.
Looking at this era, even Professor Flitwick, the dueling champion with some fairy blood, is probably inferior to Ciel in terms of magical power!
Apart from Voldemort, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald, who can be called the sons of their time, no one in the past century can compare with the Shire.
At the same time, the Ciel's Sovereign Divine Mantra reflects the changes in all his forms.
At this moment, on the platinum-gold indescribable demon god summoned by the Sovereign God Spell, fifty ferocious and enormous dog heads emerged next to the ancient dragon's head!
The entire image of the demon god appears increasingly a mixture of holiness and eeriness, and its power has surged even higher than before.
The transformation of Cerberus has brought about another qualitative change in Ciel's overall strength compared to before!
At this moment, a notification sounded in Xia Er's mind from the deep blue.
"Cerberus lives in the legendary underworld and feeds on filth, evil, and the netherworld."
"Devouring those strange, dead creatures in Cerberus form can accelerate the growth of Cerberus form."
Upon hearing this prompt, Charles licked his lips, his eyes suddenly flashing with a greedy and fiery light.
"A bizarre, inanimate object..."
He seemed to have thought of something, and his grin widened.
……
At Malfoy Manor, ever since he followed the Charles to take over the mansions of old Crabbe and old Goyle and received the so-called banquet invitation, Lucius has been in a state of sleeplessness and distraction for the past few days.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he could almost see those two eerie mansions in front of him, with old Crabbe and old Goyle watching him through the gap in the curtains with sinister smiles.
"What the hell is this thing?"
"When did such bizarre things appear in the magical world?!"
Lucius was filled with unease.
For several days, he consulted countless ancient books and also asked many wizards who had made outstanding achievements in exorcising evil spirits, eliminating demons, or fighting dark creatures through his own connections, but no one had ever heard of a similar case.
Especially after seeing Lucius's sunken eyes and increasingly dark circles from staying up all night, and hearing his somewhat fragmented and terrified words, several wizards subtly advised him to see a psychiatrist at St. Mungo's Hospital, suspecting that he might have some kind of mental problem.
But Lucius understood that he didn't have a mental problem.
Those strange things are real!
Now, he can only place his hopes on Charles.
With Xia Er's terrifying strength, he might be able to deal with those strange and evil creatures in the next few days.
Sitting in his study, Lucius found his eyelids growing heavy without him even realizing it.
Overwhelmed by fatigue from not sleeping for days, he almost couldn't resist closing his eyes.
But soon, in his half-asleep state, Lucius heard the clinking of knives and forks, and it seemed that many people were walking around.
In particular, a chilling feeling that made him shudder to the bone enveloped him.
That cold, sticky feeling instantly woke Lucius up, no matter how sleepy he was.
When he saw what was in front of him, his face was filled with despair.
He has inexplicably left Malfoy Manor and is now sitting at a long dining table.
Old Crabbe and Old Gore were staring intently at him with those eerie smiles.
"The banquet has begun."
Lucius broke out in a cold sweat and tried to draw his wand, but found that his whole body was frozen and he could hardly move.
Especially when he turned to look at the surrounding scenery, he was completely pale, almost succumbing to terror, despair, and madness.
The house was filled with walking corpses.
Everyone who lived in those mansions is dead!
Lucius even saw Crabbe Jr. and Goyle Jr., who should have been at Hogwarts, but they seemed to have been called back home and were now corpses.
Crabbe's eyes were gone, but he seemed oblivious, staring at Lucius with his bloodshot, empty eye sockets, and serving him a plate of food with aristocratic etiquette.
"Mr. Malfoy, this is your appetizer."
Lucius looked grim as he watched Crabbe lift the plate.
The plate contained caviar.
Just as Lucius breathed a slight sigh of relief, the next moment, "Caviar" suddenly opened its eyes!
Looking into those vicious eyes, Lucius realized that what he saw was not caviar at all, but the eyes that had been gouged out of these corpses!
Old Crabbe then spoke in a sinister tone.
"Mr. Malfoy, we went to great lengths to gather this much caviar in order to entertain our distinguished guest."
"I even wrote to my son to call him back from Hogwarts, but now, why is it only you?"
"Mr. Shire is still at Hogwarts and hasn't come out. It seems he's not planning to attend the banquet. We're so sad."
"He can't escape, he's destined to escape, but now, I'm afraid we need someone else to attend the banquet."
"Then let your son, the esteemed Draco Malfoy, come."
Lucius immediately began to struggle violently, his eyes filled with rage.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't pull out his wand.
The next second, Draco Malfoy walked in from outside with a blank expression and sat down next to Lucius like a walking corpse.
Only then did his vision gradually clear.
Draco saw Lucius first.
"What happened?"
"Where am I? Wasn't I sleeping in my room?"
Immediately afterwards, he saw the bizarre and terrifying scene around him.
Draco's face turned deathly pale in an instant, his pupils contracted to pinpoints, and terror filled his eyes.
Old Crabbe and Old Gore both laughed.
"Now that all the guests have arrived, we can begin the meal."
Crabbe Jr. and Goyle Jr. stood beside the Malfoys, each grabbing a handful of "caviar" with their bloodied hands and slowly bringing it to the Malfoys' mouths.
Despair filled the eyes of the Malfoy father and son.
They don't even need to think for a second to know what the consequences would be if they ate that caviar!
Just as those wicked eyeballs were about to be shoved into the two men's mouths.
Boom!
The mansion's gate was kicked open by a tremendous force.
A "waiter" at the door was thrown against the wall with tremendous force, breaking his bones and tendons.
Charles walked in.
Looking at the eerie and terrifying scene in the mansion, Charles grinned.
"Shall we begin the feast?"
"I haven't even arrived yet, what kind of feast is this?!"
