Witch Special
Chapter 165 The Wail of the Dementors
Even though Saitama was incredibly brave, he still had no real solution against this invisible and intangible enemy. Perhaps it was because he hadn't figured out what this unique entity of psychic power was, and he was constantly using his previous experience dealing with those monsters to attack it, which was of course ineffective.
It can be seen that Saitama is not very good at dealing with such enemies that cannot be found. Whether it is the water slime last time or the psychic monster this time, Saitama is in a difficult battle when he cannot quickly deal with them.
The properties of this psychic monster are almost identical to those of Momoran. They both have no physical form and cannot be hit by others, but they can easily launch all kinds of chaotic, unsystematic but powerful attacks to indiscriminately attack any targets around them.
But in that wizarding world, the Obscurus was merely a "very dangerous" magical creature, far from being unsolvable. As long as one understood what the Obscurus was, solving it would not be difficult.
The reason why the Obscurus has no physical body is that it is a monster born from magical power with repressed, depressed and even crazy emotions at its core. Its core is the fickle, changeable and extreme emotions of young wizards, which are undergoing drastic changes anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, the silent ones are always in a state between "here" and "not here". They are like creatures living in the cracks of the world. Their existence cannot be found in either the normal world or the shadow world.
The easiest way to capture an Obscurus is, of course, to target its host. An Obscurus is a parasitic magical creature, dependent on its host for survival. It's rare to see an Obscurus exist independently of its host, as the two can be said to live and die together.
Therefore, the Obscurus subconsciously protects its host, even during periods of energy rampage. The Obscurus's outburst is the result of a buildup of energy, and after venting, it will return to a state of calm. Once the Obscurus returns to its host, it becomes much easier to deal with it.
However, this simplest path is probably no longer feasible, as the host of this psychic monster is probably the octopus from before, which has been killed by Saitama. Without a host, the psychic monster has not died with it, thus filling its biggest flaw. Now, if we want to deal with it, we can only attack its own existence, which is much more troublesome than directly redeeming the host.
The reason the Obscurus is invisible and intangible is that it is a monster centered around wildly fluctuating emotions. Therefore, to capture an independent Obscurus, the first step is to calm its emotions. Once the Obscurus's emotions are calmed, its existence will gradually stabilize, and its previously dispersed core will regroup.
When the core of the Obscurus appears, you only need to seal the core to capture the Obscurus.
However, the ability to withstand the Obscurus's furious attacks and calm its nerves was definitely not an ordinary person. As far as Lin Zhenxi knew, only one well-known wizard in the wizarding world had successfully accomplished this. He was the most outstanding expert in the protection of mysterious animals in modern wizarding circles. He was the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the textbook currently used in magical academies' courses on the protection of mysterious animals.
However, Lin Zhenxi now has Saitama, a meat shield who is not afraid of attacks. She does not have to face the violent psychic monster directly, which gives her a lot of room for maneuver.
Now, after discovering that all elemental attacks have no effect on Saitama, the psychic monster has begun to learn to change its strategy, making all its psychic tentacles extremely elastic and tough, and at the same time secreting a large amount of sticky unknown liquid on the surface. It seems to have misunderstood Saitama's resistance as fear, so it began to use this kind of indescribable trick that is commonly seen in various fantasy works to deal with Saitama.
Not only was Saitama annoyed, but Hayashi Maki also felt a surge of discomfort. After all, tentacle monsters were the natural enemies of magical girls. Although Hayashi Maki was used to calling herself a witch, she actually had a deep connection with magical girls, so it wasn't a problem to call herself half a magical girl.
So when Lin Zhenxi saw this tentacle monster that was starting to get worse, his pupils trembled violently. He could hardly believe that such a terrible creature could exist in this world.
Seeing that the scene was about to turn into an even more eye-catching, sticky and shameful play of a tentacle monster tying up a bald man, Lin Zhenxi couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She decided that this farce should end quickly.
So Lin Zhenxi directly activated the voice communication function of the All-Seeing Eye's magic pattern, which could only be used once, and said to Saitama, who was dodging the tentacle attack with a disgusted look on his face, "Uncle, throw the magic pattern I left on you over there, and then you quickly leave, the farther away from this room the better. It's best to plug your ears. I will use the magic pattern to attack the monster later, and it will affect you as well."
Saitama displayed his formidable fighting prowess at this moment. He wasn't at all disturbed by Lin Zhenxi's sudden voice, nor did he ask what Lin Zhenxi was planning to do. After hearing Lin Zhenxi's words, Saitama dodged the sticky tentacles and tore off the part of his shirt where Lin Zhenxi had left the magic pattern. The edge was perfectly smooth, and the overall structure of the magic pattern was not affected at all.
The clothes issued by the Hero Association have the effect of hardening locally when encountering external impact to disperse the impact force. Saitama took advantage of this and directly picked off a piece of the hardened clothes.
Saitama threw the still hard piece of clothing in the direction of the psychic monster, turned around and ran without saying a word, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Psychic Monster had no time to react to Saitama's sudden departure, and naturally had no way to stop him. After losing its target, the Psychic Monster seemed to be stunned, floating in the room it had completely destroyed, and all its tentacles stopped.
But then, the magic pattern left by Lin Zhenxi on the piece of clothing that Saitama had discarded began to glow. Then, a terrifying wailing sound pierced through the magic pattern, echoing throughout the room.
As the sound spread, the temperature in the room rapidly dropped. The surrounding light seemed to be suppressed, gradually plunging into darkness. All the good emotions faded, leaving only boundless coldness, silence, and despair. A sense of nothingness gradually took over, and my thoughts felt like they were immersed in a freezer filled with floating ice, slowly stagnating and returning to a blank state.
If Lin Zhenxi's judgment was correct, the psychic monsters should be like the Obscurus, both intangible energy bodies with emotions at their core. Therefore, in order to force their cores out, they must calm their emotions.
Lin Zhenxi had no interest in singing a lullaby to such a monster to sleep while taking attacks, especially after Saitama no longer wanted to come into contact with its sticky and elastic psychic tentacles. Lin Zhenxi didn't even have a meat shield standing in front to help her take damage. She couldn't just sacrifice herself.
So Lin Zhenxi chose a more brutal method, which was to directly freeze the emotions of the psychic monster.
Dementors are a terrifying dark magical creature in the wizarding world. Their uniform image is that they are covered in a cloak, have no facial features, have a hole where their mouth should be, and their entire body looks like it has been soaked in water, with scabby palms and a rotting appearance.
Wherever they appear, the environment will become extremely damp and cold, even frozen and frosted, and then all happiness will be sucked away by them, making people uncontrollably think of the terrible things they least want to face, and thus fall into despair. Desperate souls are the Dementors' favorite delicacy.
Lin Zhenxi has even studied the three unforgivable curses, so he is definitely not a glorious and positive white wizard. It is not surprising that he has studied Dementors.
However, even Lin Zhenxi didn't dare to have too much contact with those dangerous magical creatures that feed on souls. They were too dangerous, just like the Grim Reaper who harvested souls. However, Lin Zhenxi discovered that the wails of Dementors could also freeze a person's soul, but it was not as obvious as the presence of Dementors in person.
Lin Zhenxi took advantage of the conflict between Dementors and wizards to secretly capture some. Although he did not figure out how they made people become desperate, he at least got the sound frequency of the Dementors' howling.
Infused with mystery, these sounds took on the same effect as the authentic wails. Because Lin Zhenxi's own mystery was even greater than that of the Dementors, the wails she replicated with her magic were even more powerful than those of the Dementors, comparable to the soul singers of the Dementor world. If the Dementors held a concert competition, Lin Zhenxi might even win a championship.
Even when unleashing this magic, Lin Zhenxi had to carefully control the direction of the sound, preventing it from spreading, especially so that she herself wouldn't hear it. That feeling of life sinking into grayness and gradually being swallowed by despair—a small attempt was enough; no one wanted to experience it a second time.
Under the effects of the dark magic "Dementor's Wail," the psychic monster seemed frozen, its tentacles sluggish. As a layer of frost crept over its body, a ruby-like proto-spherical core slowly emerged from within. This was its core, finally visible after its emotions had calmed, and the source of its power.
The deceased is currently in a stable mood.
