Chapter 56 - Level 27[p10]. Mysterio (2/2)

”Everyone, Stupefy him to oblivion!”

And that's when all wizards woke up from their stupor and started chanting spells once more and this time ”eagle” was a bit late with his spikes, so half of the spells hit it.

Understanding its perilous situation, it flapped its wings causing a strong gust of wind and decided to escape. The greek Wizards tried casting some stunning spells at the retreating figure, but the eagle quickly reached a height at which it will be unsafe to shoot the monster down to the ground.

That's when Aegeus stirred and stood up, but he didn't even get to thank his savior, because when he looked in his direction he saw the Englishman was pierced in the abdomen by the pike.

He ran up to him and screamed for medical ȧssistance to his Greek colleagues, but it was obvious that the person won't survive. The spike went through his whole body piercing many important organs including the spine. Even magic won't be able to save the person with such injuries.

The commander expected seeing resentment, anguish or maybe remorse on the face of the dying, but the only thing he saw was smile.

”Tell Harry Potter, I am sorry.”

And that's when he closed his eyes forever this time.

*In the meantime*

I was going through the magical commune unimpeded because everyone was out there trying to deal with the mess I created. The Commune was similar in a sense to the Diagon Alley but much smaller in scale and with less powerful enchantments.

As for me dying, was actually a trick I was quite proud of. With transmutation, I changed the body of the already dead person to fit my look and left in the place where I should have been dying. All that was left to do is for me to create an illusion and to play it when somebody came close to the corpse. After which I am asking them to convey Harry my ”sorry”. This way, I kill two birds with one stone.

First, is making everyone think that I am dead. And although it is not going to fool my pursuers, it will prevent them from using the wizard communities of this world to look after me, especially after I already labeled them as bad guys.

And second, this message should hopefully resolve the resentment of Harry at me for things I said in anger. I mean he is still a kid and shouldn't hold a grudge on a dead man, especially after he asked for forgiveness. This way I will be excused from the anger of MC and his plot armor.

Actually, I didn't need to ”die” at all. I could have done something else. However, I always loved tragedies and it provided a good opportunity to raise ”Speech” skill, so it was actually four birds with one stone.

Now I was going through every building getting everything precious from there. With my ”Magic Rule” I don't even need ”Accio” to rob everything good in here. Although it is more complicated and takes more magic power than a simple summoning charm, it is more effective. And, magic power is just energy, so it's not a problem for me since I have a black hole producing millions of Kelvins every second. I can just convert that energy to magic power easily and with it feed any spell I need. That's how I was able to support the illusion.

The only problem is that this conversion is super slow and inefficient, which bars me from using it in actual fights.

It is only useful in stable environments where I have time to set up everything for this. Plus this conversion array is capable of supporting only those spells that drain energy slowly. So, it can support giant illusions because it drains a giant amount of energy but in small dosages, but can't support a single Killing curse as its instant drain on magic is quite big.

But I strayed once again. Time to rob the hell out of this place.
