Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#194 - Chapter 194 Only a fool would choose a giant monster

As time passed, the sensational Chamber of Secrets incident gradually faded from the students' daily discussions.

Life at Hogwarts gradually returned to normal, with students refocusing on their daily classes and intense Quidditch matches, and the entire school regained its former tranquility.

Sebastian also threw himself back into his regular and busy teaching life.

His figure frequently appeared in Muggle Studies, Auror Training, the Duelling Club, the Alchemy Club, and Luna's Emotional Magic lessons.

He always seemed busy, yet he managed everything with ease.

At the same time, Sebastian did not forget the discovery in the Chamber of Secrets.

He devoted a lot of time to deeply studying Slytherin's magical notes, especially the experimental records on improving Animagi.

He consulted a large amount of information about Animagi and compared and analyzed the differences.

For ordinary wizards, Animagus transformations are usually determined by the wizard's personality and the essence deep within their heart.

Like a Patronus, the Animagus form is often the animalistic embodiment of a wizard's inner self. This form is uncontrollable and depends entirely on the wizard's own characteristics.

However, Slytherin's improvement to the Animagus completely subverted this tradition.

His research attempted to change a wizard's Animagus form by adding the blood of magical creatures.

In other words, this new type of Animagus was no longer determined by the wizard's own characteristics, but instead used the information in the blood of magical creatures to forcibly shape the wizard into a specific magical creature.

As his research deepened, Sebastian gradually understood the reasons for Slytherin's experimental failures.

Firstly, Slytherin used different types of magical creature blood in each experiment.

This resulted in his blood being contaminated by the corresponding magical creature's blood after each experiment.

In other words, during the next experiment, Slytherin's body still retained the bloodline and magical attributes of the previous magical creature, which gradually triggered bloodline conflicts.

This is why Slytherin said in his notes that he felt the conflict in his bloodline from the third experiment onwards.

Moreover, as the experiment progressed, the conflict in the bloodline became more and more obvious.

This is the sorrow of a pioneer. Without any reference, everything can only be explored step by step, with no turning back.

A guess arose in Sebastian's mind.

If he wanted to transform into a powerful magical creature through Animagus transformation, it would be best to select one magical creature for blood extraction.

Moreover, it would be best to succeed in one attempt, as no experiment has shown whether other problems would arise if the same blood were used again after the first failure.

This meant that extreme caution must be exercised in the selection of magical creature blood and the experimental process.

Secondly, theoretically speaking, to ensure the success of the experiment, the ideal situation would be to strip away all the will, emotions, and other factors from the magical creature's blood, retaining only pure physiological information.

In this way, during the Animagus transformation, the wizard's will could smoothly fill the magical creature's body, avoiding any unnecessary interference.

The reason why Slytherin's second experiment with dragon blood was interrupted was because the dragon's consciousness and emotions in the blood were too violent.

This made Sebastian feel regret, because that experiment might have been the closest Slytherin came to success.

If he had been able to better handle the consciousness and emotions in the dragon's blood at that time, the outcome might have been completely different.

After going through Slytherin's experimental records, Sebastian found that Slytherin's method of handling magical creature blood was still a bit rough.

Although Slytherin was indeed a genius in magical research, he lacked sufficiently refined methods when dealing with complex emotions and wills.

If this step were completed by Ms. Ravenclaw, the effect might be more perfect, as her emotional magic might work wonders in stripping away the will and emotions in the blood.

It's a pity that for the wizards at that time, magical experiments were very private things, and everyone was unwilling to share their experiments with others.

Moreover, before succeeding, Slytherin's arrogance would not allow him to seek help from others.

If the four founders could have joined forces to participate in this experimental project, the results might have been very different.

Now that he was standing on the shoulders of two giants, Sebastian was confident that he could complete this grand experiment and achieve the goal that Slytherin had failed to achieve.

So, the question is, which magical creature should he choose as his Animagus transformation form?

The first thing Sebastian thought of was the phoenix, after all, he saw Dumbledore's phoenix so often that it was hard to ignore.

The advantages of the phoenix need not be said, the mere fact of rebirth is attractive enough, and its unique talent allows it to Apparate anywhere.

However, its body is not strong enough, and its magic resistance is not high enough. For powerful opponents, if it can't win, rebirth is useless and can only be used to escape.

Next, Sebastian thought of the Eastern Qilin, an equally powerful magical creature.

However, the Qilin can see people's souls and know who has a pure heart. Sebastian felt that he and the Qilin were incompatible just because of this.

He didn't want to feel dirty after transforming into a Qilin.

In addition to these two magical creatures, he also considered many special magical creatures.

For example, the Thunderbird, which can control the weather, the Demiguise, which can be invisible and has some predictive ability, and even the Dementor, which can absorb human souls.

As his research deepened, Sebastian discovered that the more unique the magical talents of a magical creature, the more complex the information contained in their blood.

And the more complex the information, the heavier the burden on the wizard, and the lower their success rate of Animagus transformation.

Like the phoenix, Thunderbird, and Demiguise, the information contained in their blood was so complex that Sebastian couldn't calculate it at all.

Therefore, to increase the success rate of Animagus, it is best to choose some magical creatures with simple information.

After much comparison, Sebastian found two more suitable magical creatures—dragons and trolls.

As one of the most powerful magical creatures in the magical world, dragons do not have so many fancy magical talents.

However, their skin has superb magic resistance, and their bodies are extremely strong. Choosing a dragon can make up for the weakness of a wizard's body.

In summary, the characteristics of dragons are simple and crude enough, and the information contained in their blood is not particularly complex, which will not put too much burden on the wizard's spirit and will, so the transformation success rate is high.

If you have to find a shortcoming, it is that the dragon's body is too large, and transforming into a dragon requires a huge amount of magical power support.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Sebastian finally decided on the dragon as his Animagus form.

As for the troll......

Heh heh,

Only someone with a hole in their brain would choose this magical creature.

......
