Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 259 The First Horcrux Experiment of the Precision Killing Curse!

"Who...who exactly are you? Which family are you from? Are you a pureblood? No...no, you can't be a pureblood. None of the descendants of pureblood families have such a knowledge!"

You're mixed race, mixed with Muggles..."

The youthful version of Voldemort was now completely disoriented.

The sudden reception of a higher level of thought—one that was reasonable, logical, and irrefutable—was an indescribable shock and blow to this confident young man who had always adhered to extreme ideas.

He brought up the old topic again, pressing Dudley about his identity and family background.

However, Dudley simply interrupted the younger version of Voldemort's soul with a single, calm sentence.

Do you really care about pureblood?

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the youthful version of Voldemort's soul froze for two seconds, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into maniacal laughter as if possessed.

After laughing for a while, he said seriously, "You're right, whether someone is pure-blooded or not is not important at all! Bloodline is just a tool that I use!"

Go ahead and do it! Take what you want from me! It's not so bad to fall into someone like you!

I believe that my true form will die at your hands sooner or later.

Immortality? Immortality? Ha... just a grand dream!

The youthful version of Voldemort's soul, at this moment, seemed to have attained enlightenment, understanding and letting go of many things. His words had a romantic air of a hero's magnanimous acceptance of death at the end of his reign.

But Dudley wouldn't feel any pity or sympathy because of this. He smiled slightly and spoke directly:

"You said it yourself, don't regret it! Although you didn't have the right to regret it anyway."

Having said that, without waiting for a reply from the younger version of Voldemort's spirit, he pointed his finger at the Horcrux on the ground and loudly chanted the incantation: "Avada Kedavra!"

"You lied to me... Hiss~~~ Huh?! I'm still alive? How come this killing curse is so weak?"

Dudley's Precision Killing Curse, weakened by most of its power, struck the Horcrux of the Diary.

The energy of the Killing Curse seeped into the Horcrux of the diary, precisely attacking the soul of the teenage Voldemort, which was one of the soul fragments split off from the real Voldemort.

Attacked by the Killing Curse, the young Voldemort's soul thought he was doomed and about to fall into the world of the dead behind the veil.

Unexpectedly, the killing curse that Dudley unleashed this time was extremely weak and not enough to kill him at all.

According to the rules of the Killing Curse, if it is insufficient to destroy the target's soul, it will instead damage the target's physical body.

In this situation, the 'physical body' that is now being harmed is naturally the diary itself.

Dudley did not want this to happen. He had prepared well before conducting the experiment and was fully focused on the entire casting process. Upon seeing this, he immediately used his mastery of the Killing Curse to control the dissipation of the weak Killing Curse energy.

However, this time it did not go as smoothly as when the spell was cast on the rats and beetles on Pettigrew's body.

Under Dudley's control, most of the Killing Curse energy dissipated, but one wisp of Killing Curse energy remained uncontrolled and actually damaged the Horcrux itself.

As a result, a tiny, lightning-shaped gash appeared on the cover of the Horcrux. Subsequently, due to the damage to the Horcrux itself, the young Voldemort's soul inside was also slightly injured.

"How could this be?"

Dali was dissatisfied with the current outcome. He frowned and blurted out a question.

He has mastered the Precision Killing Curse, so there is no situation where he cannot fully control it.

Just now, a sinister force influenced that wisp of killing curse energy, causing it to break free from Dali's control.

"What exactly do you want?! Do you want to kill me and keep this diary?"

The youthful version of Voldemort's spirit, with an expression of anger, annoyance, and panic, spoke.

His previous magnanimous attitude had completely vanished.

He was still afraid of dying.

"You are indeed very smart, it's a real pity."

Dali said without any hesitation.

Although he wouldn't reveal everything to the younger version of Voldemort's spirit, he wasn't afraid at all that the younger version of Voldemort's spirit would see through his intentions.

Whether the other party knows or not, it's all the same; they can't escape the fate of being used as guinea pigs.

Dudley didn't expect the younger version of Voldemort's soul to reveal its weaknesses, answer questions about his experiments, or provide ideas and inspiration.

A 16-year-old Voldemort, if he hadn't lost his mind, probably wouldn't...

"Don't even dream about it! Horcruxes are artifacts in which the soul and the artifact are inextricably linked, sharing life and death!"

Attacks targeting the soul will be converted into physical attacks and transferred to objects; similarly, physical attacks targeting objects will be converted into soul attacks and transferred to the soul!

You can't possibly remove the soul and keep the artifact, so give up on that idea as soon as possible!

The Horcrux is also protected by extremely strong dark magic set up by my original body, so ordinary magic simply cannot destroy it..."

After Dudley acknowledged his analysis, the teenage version of Voldemort, eager to teach others, developed a desire to share and, through his spirit avatar, proactively revealed a detail about the Horcruxes.

He talked on and on for a long time before suddenly coming to his senses, stopping in his tracks, and inwardly wanting to slap himself a few times.

Why can't you control your mouth? You're even lecturing the enemy!

Damn it! His competitive spirit got the better of him, and he wanted to get ahead of his enemy in his familiar territory to relieve the frustration of being thoroughly humiliated by the enemy earlier.

The younger version of Voldemort carefully analyzed his mindset.

Meanwhile, Dudley on the other side was stunned.

He truly hadn't expected that the teenage version of Voldemort would actually answer his questions.

Is she trying to make up for her regret of not becoming a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor here?

Still young, smart as they are, but their rationality is unstable!

However, while the point made by the teenage version of Voldemort answered his question, it wasn't anything profound.

Give Dali some time, and he'll come to his senses.

This experiment proved that his and Dumbledore's ideas were correct.

First, use the Soul-Anesthetic Potion to anesthetize Voldemort's soul, then take the opportunity to enchant the Horcrux with a Love Protection spell, and then remove the anesthetized fragments of Voldemort's soul. This way, you can be foolproof.

Dudley's own independently developed method—using the Precision Killing Charm in conjunction with a special anti-enemy wand made from Harry's hair core to attack the soul fragments in Horcruxes—has some minor flaws, but it is still feasible.

At least for Harry, who is already under the protection of maternal love, it is perfectly feasible.

If relying solely on the Precision Killing Charm results in the dark magic within the Horcrux stealing control of the killing energy, then using a dedicated anti-enemy wand should prevent this from happening.

Once the perfect, dedicated anti-enemy wand is created, he will experiment with the diary Horcrux again to verify the exact result.
