"Two hundred fucking eleven"
"Two hundred mother fucking twelve"
"Two hundred shitty thirteen"
"Two hundred whoring fourteen"
Sigh.
On the side Hope placed down the bar she was using to do squats.
"Do you have to be so vulgar? You are ruining my concentration" She said to Harry as he was doing push up with weights on his back
Harry raised his head and had a pissed off expression. Not because of Hope, he was always angry when he works out "Yes. I hate working out. It's so annoying and a waste of time, but without a solid body I am basically a glass cannon, if by some stupid flag a god were to make an anti-magic area, or some overpowered physical fighter were to get through my barrier, my body will be the last line of defence. I need it to be as strong as possible"
"You haven't been hunting any monsters lately, is there a reason for it?" Hope tilted her head, she assumed that Harry would just go on a genocide and wipe out as many creatures with the Rite of Conquest and increase his mana and body.
" Its simple, but from the data I have gathered from my records and the few books on Senjutsu and Touki, I theorized it would be better this way. The larger the reserve of lifeforce AKA a the stronger the body, the more difficult it would be to manipulate Touki. You would have a lot, but it would be harder to get control.
So each time I kill a monster and gain a boost. I try to get used to the increased strength I have, that should help me out when i finally get started with Touki. I have too much stuff on my plate to start with it now, Touki requires a lot of time, I have to wait until I perfect the Clone Spell first."
Harry did 250 push-ups and stood up. His body was covered in sweat and his muscles were sore "Ughhh," Harry rolled his shoulders "But yeah, you make a good point. I think I have enough of a grasp on my current level. Time for another boost."
"You are not leaving alone, you got it!" Hope pressed her finger on his chest. "You have to fight alone. I get that. But just in case someone tries to come for you when you are weak after the fight I will be there. Hell if you start losing the fight I am intervening, sure you will get some kind of backlash for breaking your word in the Ritual, but better that than being dead"
Harry raised his hands "Fine, fine, I'm not going at it alone"
"Please be careful" Hope said with worry clear in her voice
"I'll be fine"
...
Hope just deadpanned 'He is going to do something stupid. One hundred percent.'
~
"MOther fucker! He is fast" Harry jumped to the side
KRRRRRR
A large creature scratched his barrier with its claws as it landed with great force crating a crater under its feet.
Hope was further away watching the battle, her heart was beating fast and she was extremely nervous. ' I'm going to die from worry. 'I'll be fine' my ass. He had to go for this one, who in their right mind fights a Nundu alone!'
"RAWWWWWW" the beast roared.
The gigantic black leopard was covered in poisonous spikes, and was constantly releasing toxic gas from its mouth. It was double the size of an ordinary leopard, its claws dug into stone and the paws crushed it.
It crouched and dashed, it was like a black blur as it moved through the terrain. That wouldn't be such a problem if its movements weren't so unorthodox, the magical feline dashed in sharp corners, going from one spot to another, completely avoiding going in a straight line like normal animals.
Harry blasted it with Fire Brids like a machine gun, yet the beast waved through his attacks.
"Wizards can defeat this? I call bullshit!" Harry yelled out as he just exploded the entire area in front of him, then blew out wind to spread the flames
"Its because of you!" Hope yelled out "You just had to go for the biggest Nundu in the region! A team of wizards is needed to handle one average one"
Despite Harry yelling and grumbling, he was completely unharmed. He waved his staff and random spots on the ground and stone were transfigured into muddy pits.
"Die already!"
Harry raised his staff. He added another Fire Brid machine gun, and started to throw around lightning spells.
But with its speed and magical resistance it just pushed through all of it, appearing once again in front of Harry with the intent of ripping him alive.
"Like I'd let you!"
Harry slapped his hands together towards the beast. Harry caused a shockwave from his hands and sent the leopard back.
"Bakudo #61 Rikujōkōrō (Six Prison Rods)"
Harry created six light rods and they flew at the leopard who somehow twisted in mid air getting hit by only one in its back. The rod slowed it down a bit, but that was enough
"Bakudo #63 SajoSabaku (Winding Binding Chains)"
Bakudo #63 SajoSabaku (Winding Binding Chains)
Harry called it out twice. Two huge chains made out of light flew at the beast, It managed to dodge from being enveloped completely, but the chains still got two of its legs.
"Got you now!"
"Hadō #64. Rasenshuriken"
A spinning sphere with 4 sharp white protrusions that spun even faster. Harry slammed the sphere on the leopard and it exploded, the shockwave harmed the beast, but the tiny wind needles pierced through its magic resistant hide and into its muscles.
"Haaaaa" Harry let out a sigh "I need better tactics against speed type opponents. Anybody else and I can just spam spells until they die. Maybe an AOE depuff with Aresto Momentum? Gravity Magic and Time Magic? I need more fucking clones to increase my research speed. Thats my priority. Then I can be Vegapunk 2.0, except i won't be stupid to give them personalities, they will be just copies of me, but with a shared mind."
Hope arrived near Harry and saw him mumble and pace while going through ideas.
"Harry, finish the ritual first." she tapped him on the shoulder breaking his thought process.
"Right. I'm curious what Magic will give me for this one. Funny thing this ritual, it almost exclusively focuses on the strength of the beast and the age of the human instead of my power as well. Maybe once I am older and more powerful I might get lower rewards. Since I am young it registers it as a big 'Accomplishment' no matter how much stronger I am than the creature I fight.
I'm going to abuse the shit out of this"
'I wouldn't expect anything else from the scumbag mad scientist' Hope sighed in expiration ' Truly there is no limit to how low he can get. Who in their right mind is planning to make an army of Ayakashi insects to freak out his opponents and poison them to death.' she shivers at the thought of fighting against something like that.
'Harry is basically plans to bully his opponents into defeat with his crazy ideas. Army of insects, army of golems made from alchemical metals with magic and physical resistance, alongside his spam spells, that and his sealing techniques alongside his healing.
A Summoner, Mage, Support with Healing, Sealing and Enchantments. He is like the most broken character in a video game, the one you want to avoid because he is so annoying'
Harry ate a piece of the heart of the Nundu and magic exploded around him. He grit his teeth as he felt the changes happening to him, that continued on for a few moments then the results came back.
A full 25% increase to his magical reserves and none for his body.
'Is it random? Or does the beast I fight have different results. Last time with the manticore I got 8% increase to magic and 15 % to my body'
"Whatever. I just gotta keep killing more. But first lets get used to some of this extra magic, i can pull off some of my bigger spells more easily now. Of course its all in the name of science, not just because I want to see big explosions."
Hope was just staring at him with a blank face "I'm going home"
~ Voldemort Pov
In a hidden location Voldemort and some Death Eaters were waiting in silence. The mood was suffocating, it was obvious their master was displeased. He gave the order to Lucius months ago, yet the object still hasn't arrived.
So his mood has been getting worse by the day. Today they had received news that Lucius had managed to slip away.
The door opened and a hooded man entered, but you could still see his long blond hair.
"Master" Lucius pulled down his hood, revealing his face as he kneeled down
"I have brought the item you wanted me to protect" He pulled out the diary and gave it to his master while he was still bowing.
"Yes, you have. But you are late!" Voldemort hissed causing everybody in the room to shiver "I have had to change hosts due to your.. failure"
"Forgive me my Lord. The Aurors and Ministry were keeping a close watch over me, I had no chance to leave." Lucius said in a soft tone, but he was covered with cold sweat. It was obvious he was terrified.
"Crucio!!" Voldemort pointed his wand at Malfoy and he dropped on the ground screaming out in pain
The Dark Lord knows him well, Lucius was obviously up to something. He was always the scheming type.
Which was true. Lucius didn't like that he was basically a slave. And after the Dark Lord fell, he did rather well for himself. Now that Voldemort was back, he would lose his hard earned money. Well what was left of it after Lord Black took what was owed to him.
Lucius searched high and low for any signs, but Lord Black was nowhere to be found. He reached out to people, asking if any of the former Black Members might have had a Bastard that they kicked out of the family.
He had found nothing, so his only choice was to go back to his Master.
"I will not forgive another failure" Voldemort glared down at the man. Lucius was still twitching, his eyes were teared up and his voice hoarse from all the screaming
"M-many t-thanks for your m-mercy. My Lord" he barely manged to stand and speak
Voldemort just scoffed at the pathetic scene in front of him. He took the diary and went inside the room he prepared.
He was going to commence a ritual to fuse his soul back. He was afraid that being out like a Wrath might have weakened him, so he decided to fuse just one of his Horcruxes.
It took a full day for the soul to safely fuse back, and regain his old body. The pain he felt as a Wrath, the endless hunger to cling to his immortality was gone.
Voldemort, looked at his hands then at the mirror. He still looked like a snake creature but, there were traces of Tom Riddle in there. This was a homunculus, a fake body.
After the soul was fused something strange happened. Voldemort discovered that his thoughts were clearer, he could think and plan better. Even his magic improved.
He came to a shocking realization.
'Splitting my soul was a mistake, it had made me immortal yes, but also weaker. Just one Horcrux would have been enough. Why did I make more? I feel calmer, did I seriously plan to go back to Britain and fight Dumbledore, after he had revealed the power he had kept hidden all this time.
No, I need my other pieces back, I'll just keep one Horcrux. I will just bury it under the water off the White Cliffs of Dover. If I recall it is now a sanctuary because of all the animals living there. And wizards avoid it because of the smell and noise.
I need to find my other Horcruxes, then I can begin any planning. I might not realize it, but missing pieces of my soul has declined my cognitive process. Just like the previous version of me didn't realize how bad his original plan was. I might not realize it as well.
The Potter boy already has my ring, for him to be wearing it, he must have destroyed the enchantments and curse on it. My soul as well.
The easiest one to retrieve now would be the locket. I will start from there'
~~ A/N
Buddy you are about to be in world of disappointment. Harry has them all except the Diary and Nagini (she hasn't been turned into a Horcrux). So Voldemort can't do anything now.
