Chapter 41 - Level 25 [p4]. Traveling and Hunting (2/2)

I put off my newest creation, ”Faceless Mask”, that can both block any magic directed at mind or face. Although it didn't have any holes for breathing or sight, it was enchanted with sight and air circulation.

Moreover, the mask was thin and fitted face perfectly, so it looked like a face itself. This can work miracles on human psychology by triggering it into doubting if I was a human being, so this headset served like a perfect terror instrument.

How was I able to cast 3 enhancements on 1 item? Well, first of all, ”Magic Theory” of 58 was no joke and mask itself was more of a helmet, because it covered both head and neck. Moreover, materials for this mask were high-quality cloth made from some kind of magical creature.

Overall, that was my best artifact so far.

While traveling I was researching new spells and magic computing, both of which helped with my ”Magic Theory” and during resting periods I was crafting and enchanting stuff. Although that sounds as grinding, it's actually more fun, because in Hogwarts I was constantly reading and studying, but now I am doing what I want and research what I am interested in. The fact that it helps with skills is a nice bonus.

Overall, I was having fun. Plus whenever I didn't have a mood for tinkering, I was turning to my Animagi form and fly around. I was quite proficient with it, after all, I was using it for nearly a year already. However training this form in Hogwarts extensively was impossible, so now I am can try anything I want.

That was why I was so happy whenever I met strong animals such as packs of wolfs. Testing my capabilities on them was both exhilarating and useful. Plus, I already more or less mastered changing my size. What I attacked the pack with was my maximum size so far. But I think, the maximum can be extended with an increase in magic channeling or talent or both.

Thankfully, I was quite light in my Animagi form, because it was mostly pure magic and shadows in the form. However, that made me quite weak. So in pure strength, for example, I will lose to a bear, but thanks to momentum and velocity from the flight I can crush any bear. Especially with incredibly sturdy beak and claws. Plus, I can use shadows to brace myself before striking the enemy, which will make sure I won't be damaged from counterforce.

In addition to this, my latest move in an Animagi form, I called ”Shadow Impale” can be used to one-shot most normal enemies without problems.

As for plans, I had none. I was just traveling towards Greece, mostly to get Manticore skin. That was an incredible beast, who had absolute resistance to all known charm and curses. The only way to fight it is to use physical magic or some type of defensive magic like Patronus.

Other than skin, it has other useful alchemical ingredients I can sell or use.

The idea of visiting other schools came to my mind, but the exact location is always hidden by a ton of charms and masking enchantments. So, unless you visited them prior, entering them is a pipe dream. Plus, not all schools are useful to visit, because most of the schools in Europe follow the same system of magic mostly.

In any case, for now, the focus is on Greece. Later I can visit other locations. Thanks to my memory I clearly remember locations we visit, but I also bought an enchanted camera to take pictures and have them as refreshments for the future apparition. So, now I have quite a few pictures or how I call them, ”Fast Travel Markers”.

I finally exited my thoughts and looked at sleeping Bucky. I took out a pillow and lied near him.

'To a dreamland, I go...'
