Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 74: Must attack immediately in pure Dementor form!
Cohen saw Dumbledore mutter a few words and then left.

He did not try to take the Philosopher's Stone from Cohen's hand - perhaps because he did not want Cohen's blood to splatter on him, or perhaps because the Philosopher's Stone was almost the size of a fingernail and could not be saved.

Anyway, this stone belongs to Cohen. Whoever wants it can go and fish it out of Cohen's liquid cursed blood.

Cohen crawled back into his body, and a strange feeling enveloped Cohen's soul from all directions.

The Philosopher's Stone really melted into Cohen's body, and the magic power that was so thick that it seemed to be materialized was running around in Cohen's body, and after discovering Cohen's soul, it rushed into Cohen's soul frantically.

Warmth and comfort, the magical embrace made Cohen's soul feel like it was back in the womb - as if it had drilled into warm, breathable liquid and then naturally curled up into a ball.

Cohen saw the scene from his previous dream again: the round and smooth bottle, and the screaming ghosts all around. Here, Cohen ate everything he could see. The bottle was broken, and there were many tall humans around who screamed in surprise, and many people were trying to escape.

But it was no use. Cohen killed all the humans in his dream because he could only smell the sweet scent of their souls.

The same was true for most animals, but there were two that Cohen selectively omitted in his dream. They made Cohen feel familiar—friendly in the sense of not killing them.

As he devoured more and more souls, Cohen's vision in the dream became clearer and clearer. He stopped when he was about to extract the soul of the last person.

It's Herbert.

Cohen in the dream let him go, as if he still had some memories of his previous life.

The dream ends here.

The dream was so clear that Cohen even saw another source of his bloodline, a long black shadow crawling on the ground - Cohen guessed it was a snake.

A basilisk? Or a horned water snake?
However, Cohen did not see the horns growing on the shadow's head, nor did he realize that he could kill anyone with his glare - if that were the case, almost everyone in the school would have died.

Are there any Parseltongues among the researchers in this lab?

Cohen remembered that the only Parseltongues left seemed to be Voldemort and Harry, and the Gaunt family should have no descendants.

But this is not the point. The point is whether Cohen himself can inherit something from snakes, such as the talent of snake language.

Cohen decided to find a snake and see if he could talk to it—something he had never done before.

[Ding! Tom Riddle has been prevented from obtaining the Philosopher's Stone. The Kindness quest (1/7) has been completed. Goodwill value +1000. The reward "Death Stalker Cloak" can be collected.]

After Cohen returned to his body, the system's reward reminder finally came.

After receiving them, the "Death Stalker Cloak" and "Mourning Frost" were placed in the system backpack.

They have a very DND-style introduction, and Cohen almost thought that this system was created by Edward - it seems that this possibility is not impossible, but Edward should not have so many good things to reward Cohen.

【Death Stalker Cape】

[Introduction: Let the hills and valleys become doors leading to the never-ending scream]

[Passive - Shadow Itself: When you devour the soul of a creature, you and your belongings gain invisibility for 20 minutes]

There's no restriction on the soul of any creature...

In other words, Cohen only needs to prepare a bunch of small creatures, and when he needs to be invisible, he can trigger this effect by blowing on them.

Is this really a reward for kindness?

Cohen felt that this reward was tempting him to commit mass murder...

Another reward item is a weapon——

【Mourning Frost】

[Introduction: The cold wind blows, it is waiting to be released]

[Passive - Heart of Ice: Any damage caused by using it will turn into frost at the target (spells, tricks, physical attacks)]

It actually looks pretty good, with a long silver-white handle that exudes a metallic luster and is ten centimeters longer than Cohen's height. There is a light blue prismatic ice crystal on the top, which exudes a hint of chill.

The good news was that it could also be used as a wand; Cohen tried it out and it worked just like his own wand. The bad news was that it was too heavy, and it would take at least a few years before Cohen could wield it easily—and many spells required wielding a wand.

So Cohen directly put it into the cold palace - maybe he could use it in the future when he needed something to hit someone with, and it would have a freezing effect.

Identified as a nice toy.

Maybe you can hold it to cool down in the summer.

After checking the rewards from the system, Cohen began to examine the changes in himself. He had just "swallowed" a magic stone, so it couldn't be that nothing had changed...

[Soul Completeness: 30%]

?

? ?
???

Cohen remembered that before the action, the integrity of his soul had reached 27.2%. Shouldn't the Philosopher's Stone only repair this much?

Even now, Cohen could no longer feel the magical power after the Philosopher's Stone melted. It should have been completely absorbed.

Isn't this the main function of the Philosopher's Stone?
Cohen, unwilling to believe in evil, left his body again - and right after leaving his body, he felt something was different.

The soul becomes... more material.

In other words, Cohen can make his soul materialize - and his soul is very similar to the Dementors - which leads Cohen to find that he seems to really...

Became a Dementor.

The purebred kind.

Cohen tried it, and after actively materializing his soul, he was able to touch objects in reality, and he also had many of the characteristics of Dementors - the place where he was close would become cold - the water in the vase froze when Cohen's soul approached.

[Ding! Special ability unlocked: Undead Spirit (10/10)]

[Note: Your soul has successfully acquired almost all of the Dementor's abilities, becoming non-being. You are no longer a Mudblood.]
It's full, really full.

Cohen apologized to the Philosopher's Stone for speaking too loudly.

It is worthy of being the top creation of ancient alchemy, and its first move is the limit of this level.

The ability alone to allow souls to materialize into Dementors at will is already incredible.

Although Cohen himself can turn into a Dementor, his body cannot suddenly disappear and pass through the wall like his soul.

The completeness of the soul can be developed and accumulated slowly, but the mechanism is what Cohen desires most.

Tonight is destined to be a night of so much joy that I can’t sleep.

But development must continue - although Voldemort cannot kill Cohen, Cohen cannot kill Voldemort either.

All the plans were completed, and Cohen planned to give up the plan of pretending to be dead to avoid the final exam - the time span was too long, and Cohen didn't want to make Edward and Rose too sad.

It would be bad enough to scare Dumbledore, but it would be a bit too much to scare his adoptive parents as well.

However, things always go wrong even when things are going smoothly as planned, and Cohen once again changed his plan due to some unexpected changes.

The next day, Edward and Rose rushed to the school, and next to Cohen's body, they had a unilateral quarrel with Dumbledore.

What caused Cohen to suddenly postpone his resurrection was a few words Dumbledore said later.

Dumbledore mentioned a plan to rescue Coin to Edward and Rose, and there was someone who could help -

Nico Flamel.

Cohen no longer needed to come up with any reason for his resurrection.
