Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Edogawa Hiroyuki exclaimed in surprise. When Bai Lin turned around, he saw that Hiroyuki was pale with fright and there was a black aura on his forehead, indicating that he had been attacked by the curse.

"Standing in the light, ordinary armor and protective spells should be ineffective against the curse," Bai Lin said.

Although the golden light of the Owl made the imp temporarily avoid its attack, Bai Lin could sense that some kind of dark power was accumulating around him. This could not have been hidden on those one or two A4 sheets of paper. It must have been that after the mark of the vengeful spirit was triggered, Fujiwara Ichiura had already noticed it. Although no one else had apparated over, his power had been transmitted over, enhancing the demonic power of the curse.

"Looks like you want to have a war of wits with me from afar..." Bai Lin sneered.

Suddenly, a large, dark mass appeared on the opposite white wall, like a bucket of asphalt had been poured on it. A woman's figure gradually emerged from within that dark mass.

"Thunderbolt Explosion!" Bai Lin blasted the doorway directly at the wall, striking first before the Curse-Oni could fully emerge.

Based on his years of experience watching horror movies, such as The Ring, Sadako would slowly crawl out of the TV. During this process, the victim would often be so frightened that they would fall to the ground or desperately pull at the door. However, Sadako was not aggressive during these few seconds. The same goes for Ju-on. When she appeared, she would not attack the victim immediately, but rather scare them.

This scare tactic is quite deliberate; it might be intentional on the part of the director, intended to frighten the audience. However, Bai Lin believes it's not entirely that simple. These kinds of evil spirits might exploit the victim's fear to break through a certain defense. Humans in a state of fear are powerless to resist evil spirits. This concept is mentioned in many stories. According to Bai Lin's research on Dementors, Dementors are typical examples of this type of evil spirit. They absorb positive human emotions; when people are depressed, frustrated, or fearful, they can devour their souls. The Guardian Charm to combat them is a condensation of positive human emotions.

Having seen many Dementors, Obscurians, and other strange creatures, Bai Lin was already immune to the "intimidation" of Ju-on, so attacking immediately was his first choice.

The thunderous explosion was like a bomb exploding on that dark mass. The flames instantly engulfed the woman's figure, the entire partition wall was blasted into pieces, and the whole building (which was actually only six stories high) shook violently.

"That's amazing!" Hiroyuki Edogawa exclaimed. He tried to steady himself, but his eyes darted around, especially to the floor, as if afraid that the little devil would come out again.

Of course, the curse wouldn't be so easily destroyed. A strange laugh, "Hehehehehehe..." came from all directions. Bai Lin looked around and saw black spots appearing on all the walls. The spots slowly spread, and it looked like they were about to stain all the walls black. Outside the glass window, countless pale faces appeared, men, women, young and old. Their eyes were abnormally wide open, and their pupils were pitch black. They stared intently at Bai Lin and Edogawa Hiroyuki.

"Damn! Trying to win by sheer numbers? No way!" Bai Lin sneered. He stretched out his arm, and a smaller version of the Tulku Owl landed on it. He pointed at the ghost faces outside the window, and the Tulku Owl's eyes shot out two beams of golden light like laser cannons. Instantly, several ghost faces were burned to ashes by the golden light.

Bai Lin followed suit, sweeping the golden light of the Divine Owl across the area. Wherever the golden light shone, the black things on the wall emitted white smoke, and their eerie laughter instantly turned into terrifying screams.

"Close your ears!" Bai Lin pointed at himself and Edogawa Hiroyuki, but even so, the scream still pierced their heads like needles. It was probably not just the sound, but also some kind of mental attack.

Moreover, the ghostly face and the scorched black matter that disappeared in the golden light of the Owl gradually filled back in after the golden light faded, as if they were endless.

Bai Lin wasn't in a hurry. The reason he hadn't fully unleashed the power of the Owl of the Gods, but instead shrunk it considerably, was to feign weakness. He didn't believe that Fujiwara Ichiura's magic power could be higher than his. The original ceiling of magic power in this world was Dumbledore and Voldemort. Now that Voldemort had been killed and Dumbledore had passed on his magic power to him, even if Fujiwara Ichiura captured every monster in Japan, his magic power shouldn't exceed 120 points.

The power of ghosts is not inexhaustible. The ghosts that returned were naturally the power of Fujiwara Ichiura. Hakurin wanted to test the depth of his opponent's strength and preferably attract all of his magic power.

Bai Lin wielded the golden-light-emitting Owl of the Gods, like a laser gun, relentlessly consuming the number of ghosts. However, the opponent was clearly increasing their efforts. Suddenly, Edogawa Hiroyuki pointed to the ceiling and shouted, "Brother Bai, on the ceiling!"

Bai Lin looked up and saw that a large patch of black substance had appeared on the ceiling at some point. The thing was wriggling and, like viscous asphalt, it was falling downwards. Just as Bai Lin was about to sweep the golden light over it, the large black thing suddenly shrank into a ball, and a huge woman, more than two meters tall, emerged from the black thing.

It was a face a hundred times more sinister and terrifying than any in the movies. Just looking at it was enough to make one breathless and feel cold all over. Its ghostly eyes were fixed on Bai Lin.

The vengeful female ghost was holding two Japanese-style kitchen knives, which looked like large fruit knives. She moved extremely fast and rushed over to slash at Bai Lin.

As Bai Lin retreated, he used the Calling Owl to shoot out golden light attacks. However, something strange happened: the golden light passed directly through the female ghost and hit the opposite wall.

"Oh no, it's an illusion!" Bai Lin exclaimed in surprise and quickly turned around. Another female ghost had already appeared behind them, slashing at Bai Lin's head with two swords.

Bai Lin shoved away Edogawa Hiroyuki, who was immobilized by the Ju-on female ghost's mental attack. The female ghost's kitchen knife passed through the "divine protection" shield covering him without any hindrance, cutting a gash more than 20 centimeters long on his left arm that he couldn't dodge in time.

Bai Lin retreated repeatedly, never expecting that even the "Divine Protection," which could almost withstand the Death Curse, could not stop the female ghost's attack.

"A new attack pattern... this seems to be an attack without any attribute or even a virtual attribute. It doesn't come into contact with magical elements, and it's even unrelated to space. It's another pure consciousness-based move," Bai Lin thought to himself.

He looked at his left arm and saw that a piece of flesh the size of his palm had been cut off, dripping with blood. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, but then he felt his stomach suddenly bloat, as the cut-off piece of flesh went directly into his stomach.

Bai Lin suddenly recalled a scene where a victim died because their stomach was ruptured by their own limbs, suggesting they had been attacked in this way.

Bai Lin suddenly perked up, realizing that the curse before him was not so easy to deal with, and that if he conserved his strength, he might end up being caught off guard and suffer a setback.
