Chapter 414 The Evil in the Forest
Ai Wen looked at the huge statue of the evil god, and the memories that were almost fading entangled with various emotions surged up together, and he felt an awe that was about to drive people crazy.
The statue was calling him, calling him to come here, to come to it.
Eight hundred years ago, the fallen horsemen took part of the Philosopher's Stone.
The remaining magic power in the broken Philosopher's Stone is not enough to summon the evil god to this world again, it needs this piece from Aiwen.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Aiwen entered this dream.
The evil god, who was gradually recovering his strength, noticed the half of the Philosopher's Stone carried by Aiwen who was nearby, and it needed Aiwen to surrender to him and hand over the Sorcerer's Stone.
As Aiwen got closer to the centaur ruins, this feeling became more and more obvious.
Its statues look so awe-inspiring and extraordinary, as sacred as a real god.
Anyone who sees it for the first time will have an urge to worship.
It's a pity that it doesn't know that Ivan has seen its true colors in the illusion created by Gryffindor, and knows what kind of monster the so-called god looks like.
Not only will Aiwen not hand over the Sorcerer's Stone to him, but he is also planning to take it back and the half of the Sorcerer's Stone that the fallen horsemen took away eight hundred years ago.
Through these few contacts, it is not difficult to find that the most powerful ability of the evil god lies in the magic of the mind and the control of dreams.
They can create illusions and enter someone's dreams.
Just like dementors feed on happy emotions, evil gods can find all the gaps in the mind that can be used, evoke the deepest darkness in a person's heart, and absorb the resulting negative emotions such as fear, madness, and anxiety, and devour their souls.
They need flesh and blood to build their bodies, and negative emotions make them powerful.
In Aragog's lair, the acromantula took the captured animals to the underground ruins, and used their flesh and soul to help the eyeball monster regain its strength.
But this is far from enough, the souls of those animals are too weak.
When Malfoy released a lot of negative energy because of his fear of the dark and the unknown, and finally chose to surrender to the opponent, the eye monster really recovered.
Aiwen would not believe in evil gods, nor was he confused by the illusion in front of him.
He glanced at the statue of the evil god again and began to feel bored.
Restricted by his strength, this guy is now tossing and turning with only this little ability, bewitching, creating chaos and continuous illusions...
There is nothing to be afraid of until its true form descends into the real world.
Just like Voldemort who is hiding in the forest not far away, no matter how powerful he used to be, now he can only linger in a dark corner.
After discussing the matter with Dumbledore, Ivan was already prepared to deal with it.
He worked hard to empty his mind, using Occlumency to resist the evil god's infiltration of his mind.
About a year ago, Ivan began to try to practice Occlumency, a spell that can effectively help users resist the invasion and influence of spiritual magic.
Unlike a wand that can be mastered quickly, the recurring thoughts in his mind made him do very badly.
Aiwen couldn't really close his brain like Snape did, but the effect of using this spell was indeed very obvious.
The dream in front of me was like an affected TV signal, and the picture began to fluctuate obviously, and it was no longer as clear as before.
As Aiwen's brain closed, the connection between the two parties became weaker and weaker.
The statue of the evil god and the exquisite centaur city under the terrace began to collapse and become fragmented, and Aiwen fell from the sky...
When he woke up, it was already daylight.
Everything in front of me has not changed, as if nothing has happened.
The temperature in the morning made Ai Wen awake. He sat on the bed and gasped for a while, thinking about the evil god and vampire that appeared in the dream.
He didn't get out of bed until the sweat on his body dissipated completely, and came to the window.
Outside, the night was about to disappear, and the dawn light slowly awakened the sleeping creatures.
Ai Wen opened the window, and the cool air slowly blew in.
In the sky, the gray-blue dome gradually faded from the top of the head, and gradually turned into a faint blue smoke bordering the horizon.
A soft mist rises from the edge of the forest, and the mountains in the distance are covered with a layer of soft milky white. The white mist renders everything hazy and psychedelic.
Just when Ivan was immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of him, he suddenly heard a sharp and desolate cry, which sounded very sad.
He lowered his head and saw a pale-skinned woman under the window.
She has long silver-white hair with a shawl and a black cloak, making her appearance and age unclear.
For some unknown reason, she was crying very hard, clapping her hands together and making a loud noise.
The voice is very thoughtful, and it is particularly harsh in the empty and silent streets in the early morning.
But strangely, no one came out to dissuade or ask about the situation.
Ai Wen even had a strange feeling, as if he was the only one who could hear her cry.
This was really strange. When he was about to ask what was going on, the woman under the window seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised her head and gave Ivan a look.
What kind of face is that, with bluish-white skin, dilated pupils, and facial features that have begun to rot and deform, this is a dead person!
Ivan took a step back and looked at the guy below in disbelief.
It was unimaginable that he actually saw a dead woman moving and crying.
What the hell is going on here, is it necromancy, witchcraft, or something else? !
Ai Wen thought of Yin Corpse, but this woman obviously had her own mind.
Or, this is an indescribable creation of the evil god.
After the attempt to infiltrate and control Aiwen in the dream failed, it sent such a guy over.
Regarding Ivan's reaction, the monster downstairs seemed very satisfied.
Looking at the boy with a frightened face, it opened its big scary mouth, exaggerated upwards, showing an ugly smile, and a few maggots fell out of it.
After a brief shock, Ai Wen quickly recovered.
Not surprisingly, this is a death banshee!
He had seen this kind of dark creature introduced in "Where are the Fantastic Beasts" and Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks before, but he had never seen a living creature.
Unexpectedly, it was even scarier than what was described in the book.
You must know that the Banshee of Death is very rare, and it is harmless, but generally speaking, wizards think that seeing it is an extremely unlucky symbol.
From the perspective of divination, this is a very bad omen, second only to seeing a big black dog that heralds death.
As the name suggests, as long as the Banshee cries loudly downstairs in someone's house, it means that the person in the window it chooses will die soon... (To be continued.)
