Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 93 Extreme Torture, Killing Curse Practice Operation!

"Hiss... Ah!"

Little Star's old wounds hadn't healed, and all his teeth had fallen out. He hadn't even had enough to eat during the day while eating pet food in his spatial cage. Now, he was being bitten by insects and rats, screaming in pain and terrified. He was in a terrible state.

Dudley, hard-hearted as ever, felt no pity upon seeing this; instead, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he spoke in a sinister tone:

"Harry, tonight, you have only one task: save this big bad rat's life, don't let him die!"

You need to continuously cast healing and revival spells on him, and apply Muggle-specific veterinary medicine as needed.

He'll be useful for many more things! If he accidentally dies, we'll have a hard time finding such a suitable test subject!

"Yes, cousin!"

Harry quickly agreed, feeling an unusual sense of satisfaction at Pettigrew's miserable state.

He knew that although he wouldn't have to personally punish Little Star tonight, Little Star's misery tonight would definitely be even worse than last night.

Because his methods were far inferior to his cousin's.

"Avada! Let's eat a melon!"

Harry was getting ready when Dudley made his move.

Dudley's expression was sinister, filled with murderous intent. He roared the incantation of the Killing Curse, pointed his finger in the air, and released a straight, dazzling green light that struck Peter Pettigrew... the live rat tied to his left upper arm.

"squeak--"

After a short, mournful cry from a small mouse, Little Star spat out a mouthful of blood from his toothless mouth. His horrified rat eyes stared straight at his left arm, where a small, lifeless mouse tied to a rope came into view.

Little Pettigrew immediately rolled his eyes, turned his head and fainted from fright. At the same time, a large puddle of foul-smelling liquid flowed from the hem of his tattered robe, which was extremely disgusting.

"Heal quickly! Recover rapidly! Be completely cleaned up!"

Remembering his cousin's words, Harry quickly overcame his fear of the green light of the Killing Curse, picked up his wand, and began a rescue and cleanup operation on Pettigrew.

"Your control over your killing intent is lacking! You need to practice more!"

Dudley stared at the large mouthful of blood that Little Pettigrew had just spat out and muttered to himself.

Precisely control the target of the Killing Curse to strike at the root without harming others.

This is one of Dudley's ideas for separating Voldemort's soul fragments from Horcruxes without causing them to break.

The main principle behind the Killing Curse is to forcibly send the target's soul into the world of death behind a veil.

This is why wizards killed by the Killing Curse cannot be transformed into ghosts.

Of course, if the caster's killing intent is insufficient and the power of the killing curse is not enough to threaten the target's soul, then the killing curse will instead cause some damage to the target's body.

Dudley envisioned:

By suddenly attacking the soul fragment inside the Horcrux with the Killing Curse, Voldemort's soul fragment had no time to resist or damage the Horcrux itself before being directly blasted into the world of death behind the veil, thus achieving the goal of separating the Horcrux and the soul fragment without causing any damage.

This method is extremely difficult to operate on its own, and the chance of accidents is high. It seems like a pipe dream. However, if it is combined with other suitable methods, it is highly feasible.

Therefore, Dudley must strive to master his Killing Curse to an unparalleled level.

They can strike wherever they are told, and kill whoever they want, without harming any innocent person.

He planned to practice with Little Star first, and once he reached a higher level, he would switch to the diary horn artifact and the ring horn artifact as targets and testing devices.

"Avada! Let's eat a melon!"

When Dudley saw that Pettigrew had been revived by Harry's Resurrection Charm, he unleashed another green-tinged Killing Charm ray without saying a word.

This time, his target was the large beetle stuck to Little Star's right thigh.

"Cloth~ Medicine~ Wow~~"

Little Pettigrew's vision was filled with green light, and he let out a desperate cry. At this moment, he even felt that Dudley was much more terrifying than the Dark Lord. At least, the Dark Lord had never tortured anyone with the Killing Curse like this.

The horror of this torture lies not in the physical harm inflicted, but in the extreme mental torment of bouncing back and forth on the brink of death.

Under the dazzling green light, Little Pettigrew was mostly afraid that Dudley's Killing Curse would miss and kill him, but occasionally, for a moment, he would think that it would be better to just die, at least he wouldn't have to suffer like this.

"Harry, inject him with veterinary stimulants! My skills are not yet fully developed; how can the target be expected to fight me to the death?"

Dudley noticed something amiss in Pettigrew's eyes and quickly offered Harry some advice.

Just now, he attacked a smaller beetle, which was more difficult and the residual effects of the killing curse were greater, causing Little Star to vomit more blood and urgently need medical attention.

Harry acted swiftly, following Dudley's instructions, finding the corresponding injection, and giving Pettigrew a shot in the heart.

Meanwhile, with healing spells constantly flowing from his hands, the magic of both Muggles and wizards was used in tandem, resulting in outstanding effects.

Soon, Little Pettigrew's neck veins bulged, he was extremely excited, and he watched Dudley use three Killing Curses to kill the three little mice on his body without even blinking.

"Good! Very good! That's the spirit we want!"

Dudley was very satisfied. He became more and more adept at using the Killing Curse, and his ability to unleash and retract his killing intent became increasingly refined.

And so, Harry applied the medicine, Dudley attacked, and they practiced on and off for almost half the night before they stopped and sent the pitiful but still alive Pettigrew back to his cage in his personal space.

Dali turned Smetin's cane into a chair, sat down, closed his eyes, and meditated, slowly dispelling the negative emotions that inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Harry, remember this! To practice dark magic, you must be firm in your mind and will, and not let the negative emotions brought by dark magic affect your character."

While meditating, Dudley lectured his cousin, “I think many dark wizards may not have been so hopeless at first, but because of their weak minds, they were influenced by dark magic and eventually became puppets of dark magic.”

"Cousin, I understand."

Harry nodded knowingly, but then another question popped into his head, "Cousin, why didn't you use a calming charm to soothe your mind and eliminate the negative emotions from practicing the Killing Charm?"

Dudley chuckled: "Harry, you need to understand that the Tranquility Charm is a good tool, but it's not a magic bullet."

The power and precision of black magic depend on the caster's ability to control and manage negative emotions.

I practiced the killing spell for half the night and finally memorized the feeling of releasing murderous intent. If I were to use a calming spell to forcefully suppress or erase this feeling, wouldn't that be a waste of all my hard work?

I had to process this negative emotion on my own and completely transform it into my own strength. Only through this kind of practice could I gradually turn dark magic into an incredibly obedient weapon in my hands.

"I understand, cousin! If I practice dark magic in the future, I will be bold yet careful, and I will be determined!"

Harry understood Dudley's good intentions and replied firmly.
