Gamma Rays Exploding the Old Ones? The Old Ones' Wands Are Devouring Utterly!

Chapter 8 Gamma Rays Exploding the Old Ones? The Old Ones' Wands Are Devouring Utterly!

But despite Charles's soft whispers, Dark remained nowhere to be found.

Seeing this, Charles sighed regretfully, feeling like he had missed out on a fortune.

But then, he turned his gaze to this incredibly realistic, desolate coastline.

The churning, black, viscous seawater, resembling oil, along with the jagged rocks and grayish-white sand, didn't look like anything ordinary.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Charles's mind.

"Would you like to try some?"

Immediately afterwards, he pinched his nose and found a puddle where thick, black seawater had gathered.

After swallowing a mouthful of black seawater with a strong, fishy smell, it was actually converted into a considerable amount of deduction points by the Deep Blue System.

"Deduction points +200".

This is a number of points that Ciel would normally accumulate over countless meals.

But here, all you need is a sip of seawater.

Before Charles' eyes, a vast black ocean was churning!

Charles took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with ecstasy.

If we drank up all the black ocean outside of R'lyeh, how many deduction points would that be?

It's probably worth hundreds of millions!

Then Charles reached out again, and in this dream, the only magic wand he had ever touched in reality actually appeared in his hand.

As the incantation was chanted, a high-frequency laser was emitted from the tip of the wand, easily slicing a black rock into pieces.

Charles picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth; a taste even more disgusting than seawater spread through his mouth.

But this was followed by the pleasant notification sound from the Deep Blue system.

"Deduction points +400."

Charles took a deep breath.

Based on this, the potential conversion points of this rugged rocky beach might even be greater than those of the black ocean.

If this outer area contains so many deduction points, then what about the ancient city of R'lyeh at the end of the rocky beach?

If we were to consume the entire city, including everything in the central temple, how many deduction points would that require?

If all these deduction points are invested in the Firefly Spell, what will the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, which has already been deduced, become?

Ciel couldn't even imagine it!

At this moment, he was no longer panicked when he first arrived here; instead, he felt as if he had entered some kind of paradise on earth.

R'lyeh ×

"Thank you, Ancient Ones! Thank you, Great Old Ones! Praise be to R'lyeh!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

The next moment, as if eating a baguette dipped in mushroom soup, Charles held the black rock fragments in one hand, dipped the other hand in the viscous seawater, and then put them into his mouth.

The notifications of increasing deduction points kept ringing in Xia Er's mind.

After biting Dark a few times and gaining over 30,000 deduction points.

Xia Er's total deduction points soared like a rocket, quickly surpassing 50,000 points.

His eyes gleamed with anticipation as he asked Deep Blue a question in his mind.

"Approximately how many points would be needed to continue developing the Glowing Light Spell and further upgrade the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell?"

Deep Blue provided the answer.

"Based on the previous deductions, the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell may have several upgrade directions, such as continuing to evolve into a celestial body, with the density and energy level of the spheres emitted by the spell increasing, and also accompanied by a powerful gravitational confinement effect."

"Another approach is to enhance the energy radiation effect, similar to a gamma-ray burst, to increase lethality."

"..."

"It is estimated that at least one million simulation points will be needed."

Upon hearing this number, if it were before, Charles would probably have exclaimed in surprise how long it would take to accumulate that amount.

But now, all Charles wants to say is—only one million?

If I stay in R'lyeh, I could probably earn millions of deduction points a day just by eating my way to that spot.

"We'll just add a dish here later: Gamma Rays Roasting the Old Ones!"

But as Charles excitedly pondered this, he was startled to find that the scenery of R'lyeh around him was rapidly receding into the distance.

He only had time to swallow the last large mouthful of black stone fragments before he watched helplessly as R'lyeh disappeared before his eyes.

His dream shattered, reality arrived, and the place where Charles was revealed.

This appears to be a hospital ward; the sheets, curtains, and drapes are all clean white.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, making the room feel exceptionally warm and bright.

But now, in Charles's eyes, none of these things matter as much as the eerie and bizarre sights of R'lyeh.

How magnificent were those days! How great were those days!

Please, let me go back to R'lyeh one more time!

I admit I was speaking too loudly just now; the gamma-ray burst sounded a bit scary.

But believe me, it's just like warming yourself with a small electric heater in winter, it's very warm and comfortable, believe me!

Charles sat up blankly from the hospital bed, his face full of sorrow and regret, muttering to himself.

"I'm so stupid, really, so stupid."

"You're so preoccupied with those things, why don't you eat a few more bites?"

"A free deep-blue buffet, with no entrance fee—where else can you find that?!"

Just as Ciel was immersed in grief over the loss of R'lyeh, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Moody, Fudge, and other figures from the wizarding world, who were by his bedside, also showed expressions of sorrow as they watched Ciel's condition.

"Charles Evans, this kid who just escaped death..."

"Has he gone mad?"

"Yes, we simply cannot imagine the terrible torture he suffered at the hands of Dark."

"Just now, while he was sleeping, I heard him calling out Dark's name and saying something like 'give him another bite.' It must be that heartless black wizard who tortured him by starving him."

"Poor child, this is the fault of our magical world!"

Dumbledore sighed, drew his Elder Wand, and whispered.

"Let me use magic to calm him down for a while."

"After a period of rest, perhaps the shadow of this terrible event will fade from his mind."

"Hogwarts will always be open to you, child..."

The tip of the Elder Wand gleamed with a silver light, like the radiance of a guardian deity.

Just seeing it has a healing effect on the mind and makes you forget your troubles.

Dumbledore slowly brought the Elder Wand closer to the Shire and said softly.

"Sleep, keep sleeping, Ciel."

"Forget about all the terrible things you went through..."

Everyone wore solemn expressions, as if they were praying for Ciel, the poor child who had been caught up in the terrible incident.

Just as the Elder Wand's light drew near, Ciel had already recovered from the grief of losing R'lyeh.

Or rather, a new idea replaced his longing for R'lyeh.

The old man with the beard in front of him must be Dumbledore.

The wand in his hand must be the legendary Deathly Hallows – the Elder Wand, said to possess unparalleled magic.

In the original Harry Potter books, even when Voldemort clashed with the Elder Wand, he was frustrated to have his Killing Curse reflected back by a Expelliarmus.

The magic power of this item is so great that it can definitely be considered the pinnacle of the magical world.

What if...

Why don't you try a bite yourself?

How many deduction points would that require?

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment in the ward, Ciel bit down on the Elder Wand.

The spell that Dumbledore was brewing vanished in shock because of the Shire's sudden action.

"???"

"How long has he been starving? He's so hungry he's gnawing on his wand?!"

"Dark, you wicked soul, go to hell and see what you've done to this poor child!"
