HP Magic Punk Ch 357 : Cool As Hell
🕑 Added 2024-11-17 16:54:02 +0000 UTCOver the years, Orion’s life had become a complex weave of research, training, and occasional moments of introspection. His primary focus remained on understanding the power of Guardians and exploring the mysteries behind the command seal he possessed. The seal held secrets he was convinced could lead him to bring back Merlin, it did it once so why not again right.
However, his earlier statement stand still, that the command seal was specially created to summon mage type characters, this one in the other hands wasn’t for mage type summons, that were most of his problems lies.
Alongside this, Orion continued his experiments with the Eric’s vampire zombie. Testing different kinds of magic on the zombie had become routine, his goal remain to somehow just take that magic from the Zombie, but he found it hard.
This Guardian magic, it was hard to find, he found no traces of any special magic on the Zombie, if not for the fact that this Zombie Vampire indeed hold magic, he would have thought that whatever he learn from Eric was nothing but lies.
Absorbing his magical power always remain an option, however he refrained from doing so. He didn’t wanted to make any mistake in hurry. What if he didn’t get the guardian power upon absorbing magic from the zombie. This was holding him back from just directly sucking away the magic from that Zombie.
Doing that was his last option but until then, he rather check out if there is any other, more sure sort way to become Guardian.
One day, while working in his lab, Orion sensed something off. The usual growls and grunts of the undead was gone— it was a silent for some reason. Alarmed, he went over to where the vampire zombie was normally restrained, only to find the holding cell empty. Somehow, this creature had managed to slip past his barriers. Orion mentally retraced his steps, remembering how he’d been testing different magic on it just the day before, he hadn’t anticipated the damn zombie to run away.
Without delay, Orion set out to track it. He was experienced enough to know that even a single vampire could pose a serious threat, and this can even do magic
“Magic…” suddenly something click inside his head and he quickly look for his wand.
“Fuck…” he roar out.
He left his wand behind last time when he was using magic on the blasted zombie.
“That how he run away, bloody zombie, if he act like one then how come he can still do magic…” Orion rush out knowing that this was now reall troublesome.
Using his magic to follow the faint, decaying aura of the creature, he moved swiftly through the dense forests surrounding the area, his heart pounding at the thought of the creature targeting someone.
And by someone he meant the only person he could think of who live in this forest beside him.
Orion Junior,… it was basically history repeating itself, but now he knew that it was his own fault for that happened in the past.
“Fuckkkk…” Orion quickly ran out and look for the vampire.
After a tense journey, Orion reached a small clearing in the woods. To his surprise, he found someone he hadn’t expected—Orion Junior, now older, had chosen to live in isolation in the forest, Beside him was a very familiar face who he missed for years.
“RED….” He almost lost his composure, when he saw the dog there, he almost forgot that this was the time when Red was alive. He hardly interfere with his youger self to remember this. He just have put enough magical wards to protect him and then leave him alone.
But then he quickly came out of his daze, becuase things were already looking bad for his younger self.
He was standing face-to-face with Eric’s zombie vampire corpse, which was moving toward him with a menacing, and at the same time it look a lot more human like than a zombie.
Maybe this was something to do with the magic, he was after all was holding Orion Wand right now.
This scene. He remember it so well that it wasn’t even funny.
He saw the dog rushing at the Vampire and his heart sank.
“RED…”
Orion felt a jolt of fear and adrenaline. Orion acted swiftly, casting a counter spell strong enough to nullify the effect of the killing curse which the vampire casted on Red.
It doesn’t matter, he can save the dog and still maintain the past mostly.
Though it looked like the killing curse struck Red but in reality he was just unconscious due to the magic backslash.
After making sure he save Red, he look into himself, he saw his younger self was looking very pissed off right now. He remembered the feeling.
The Zombie throw a torture curse at the boy and Orion just remain there, watch it happened. Though he wanted to save the boy but this was something that he should go through.
But when the torture curse connected, it self irresistible to not help out his 10 year old self.
Cries of pain and howls rang around the place as his younger self struggle against the torture curse.
This was getting bad, he wanted to help out but just then something happened, the boy’s own magic flare out at this time.
Same thing happen as he remembered, the zombie who was now acting much more not zombie like, had much more intelligence in his actions, he use Orion’s wand which he stole and throw a killing curse at the boy.
Orion was stiff at this, always ready to save him but still didn’t acted immediately.
Orion Junior raised his arm instinctively, stopping the curse, showing the early signs of force, leaving Orion smiling like he was proud of himself.
“Yup, I’m cool as hell.”
He had grown strong, but Orion could see something troubling.
He could feel the energy pulsing from the boy, but he also saw how dangerously close he was to pushing his magical core too far. Orion knew it was still fragile, despite the healing he’d done over the years. The boy wasn’t aware that pushing himself like this could damage his core beyond repair.
‘Internal Integration, is a dangerous technique, while his integration help him absorb magic, internal integration act as a short term power boost. Burning away his own magic to the point he lose the part of magic that he burn away forever. Though it give him a ton of power in that moment but the consequence are usually too much.
This was the only time he had ever use this technique in his life. Never again. And right now the boy was doing the same, and this technique was eating himself away. If not stopped soon then things can go bad real quick.
Orion knew he couldn’t wait any longer. If he let this go on, Junior would be seriously hurt—possibly lose his magic forever.
In a flash, Orion acted. With a quick incantation and a powerful surge of his own magic, he moved between them.
Orion quickly grab both of them, his magic stop the boy from using his magic anymore and he already started absorbing magic from the vampire. No Now he no longer cared, it better to have this guy gone then let him make more trouble.
