Chapter 93: Extreme Torture, the Killing Spell Practice Operation!

"Ouch... Ah!"

Peter Pettigrew's old wounds hadn't healed yet, and he had lost all his teeth. Eating [pet rations] in the [spatial cage], he still hadn't had enough to eat. Now, being bitten by insects and rats, he let out shrill and continuous cries, terrified and in an extremely miserable state.

Dudley was as hard - hearted as stone. When he saw this, instead of feeling pity, he showed an evil smile. Only to hear him say sinisterly in a creepy tone:

"Harry, your task tonight is just one thing. Keep this big bad rat alive and don't let him die!

You need to continuously [cast spells] the Healing Spell and Revival Spell on him. And use the [veterinary potions] over there in time depending on the situation.

He'll still be useful later! If we accidentally kill him, it'll be hard for us to find such a suitable experimental subject!"

"Yes! Cousin!"

Harry quickly responded. When he looked at Peter's miserable state, he felt extremely delighted.

He knew that although he didn't need to personally punish Peter tonight, Peter would definitely be in an even more miserable state than last night.

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

"[Avada]~Kedavra!"

Just as Harry was getting ready, unexpectedly, Dudley had already taken action.

Dudley had a sinister expression, with a strong killing intent. Shouting the [incantation] of the Killing Spell, he pointed into the air, releasing a straight, dazzling green light that directly hit the live rat tied to Peter Pettigrew's... left upper arm.

"Squeak!"

After a short scream of the rat, Peter spat out a large mouthful of blood from his toothless mouth. His pair of extremely terrified big rat eyes stared blankly at his left arm, and a dead rat tied to a rope came into view.

Peter immediately rolled his eyes and fainted sideways. At the same time, a large pool of stinky liquid flowed out from the hem of his tattered robe, which was very disgusting.

"Episkey! Rennervate! Scourgify!"

Remembering what his cousin had said, Harry quickly overcame his fear of the green light of the Killing Spell, picked up his [wand], and started the rescue and cleaning operation on Peter.

"You haven't controlled the killing intent well! You still need more practice!"

Looking at the large mouthful of blood that Peter had just spat out, Dudley murmured to himself.

Precisely control the target of the Killing Spell. Make sure it hits the core without harming others.

This was one of Dudley's ideas for separating [Voldemort's soul fragment] from the [Horcruxes] without damage.

The main principle of the Killing Spell when used to kill people is to forcibly drive the target's [soul] into the world of the dead behind the veil.

This is also the reason why [wizards] killed by the Killing Spell can't turn into ghosts.

Of course, if the caster's killing intent is insufficient and the power of the released Killing Spell is not enough to threaten the target's [soul], such a Killing Spell will instead cause a certain degree of damage to the target's body.

Dudley's idea was:

Suddenly attack the [soul fragment] in the [Horcruxes] with the Killing Spell, so that [Voldemort's soul fragment] wouldn't have time to resist and damage the [Horcruxes] itself, and would be directly blasted into the world of the dead behind the veil by the Killing Spell, thus achieving the goal of separating the [Horcruxes] and the [soul fragment] without damage.

If this method is used alone, it is extremely difficult to operate, and the probability of accidents is also high. It seems a bit of a pipe dream. However, if it is used in conjunction with other appropriate means, it has a high feasibility.

So, Dudley has to work hard to master the Killing spell to perfection.

He needs to be able to hit exactly where he aims and decide who lives and who dies without harming any innocent person.

He plans to practice on Peter Pettigrew first. Once his skills improve further, he'll use the diary Horcrux and the ring Horcrux as targets and testers.

"Avada~Kedavra!"

Seeing that Peter Pettigrew had been revived by Harry's Revival Spell, Dudley didn't say a word and fired another green - tinged ray of the Killing spell.

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

"No~ Don't~ Ah~~"

Peter Pettigrew's vision was filled with the green light, and he let out a desperate scream. At this moment, he even thought that Dudley was scarier than Voldemort. At least, Voldemort had never tortured anyone with the Killing spell like this.

The horror of this kind of torture doesn't lie in the physical damage but in the extreme mental breakdown of being on the brink of death.

Under the dazzling green light, most of the time, Peter Pettigrew was afraid that Dudley's Killing spell would go off - target and kill him. But occasionally, he thought it would be better to just die and end this suffering.

"Harry, inject him with animal - use stimulants! I haven't mastered my skill yet. How can the target have the will to die?"

Dudley noticed something from Peter Pettigrew's eyes and quickly gave Harry a tip.

Just now, he attacked a smaller beetle, which was more difficult. The overflowing after - effect of the Killing spell was stronger, causing Peter Pettigrew to vomit more blood. He urgently needed treatment.

Harry was deft - handed. Following Dudley's instructions, he found the corresponding syringe and injected Peter Pettigrew in the chest.

At the same time, he kept using the healing spell, synchronously using Muggle magic and wizards' magic, and the effect was excellent.

Soon, Peter Pettigrew's neck veins bulged. He was extremely excited and watched Dudley use the Killing spell three times in a row to kill three mice on him without even blinking an eye.

"Good! Very good! Keep this up!"

Dudley was very satisfied. He was becoming increasingly proficient in using the Killing spell, and he was also more skillful in unleashing and retracting his killing intent.

Just like this, Harry gave treatment while Dudley attacked. They practiced off and on until midnight before they stopped. Then they sent the miserable but still alive Peter Pettigrew back to the cage in the Personal Space.

Dudley transformed the Smelting stick into a chair and sat there with his eyes closed, trying to calm down the unexplainable negative emotions in his heart.

"Harry, remember! When practicing dark magic, you must strengthen your mental resolve. Don't let the negative emotions brought by dark magic affect our personalities."

While meditating, Dudley taught his cousin, "I think many Dark Wizards might not have been so hopeless at first. It was just because of their weak wills that they were influenced by dark magic and finally became puppets of dark magic."

"Cousin, I got it."

Harry nodded as if he understood something, but then he thought of a question. "Cousin, why don't you use the Calm Mind Spell to soothe your mind and get rid of the negative emotions from practicing the Killing Spell just now?"

Dudley gave a soft chuckle. "Harry, you need to understand that the Calm Mind Spell is a good tool, but it's not a one - size - fits - all tool.

The power and accuracy of dark magic rely on the caster's negative emotions that can be freely controlled.

I practiced the Killing Spell for half the night and finally remembered the feeling of venting my murderous intent. If I use the Calm Mind Spell to take a shortcut and forcibly soothe and erase this feeling, wouldn't it be a waste of my efforts?

I have to digest these negative emotions on my own and completely turn them into my own boost. Only by practicing in this way can I gradually make dark magic a very obedient and sharp weapon in my hands."

"I get it, cousin! From now on, when I practice dark magic, I'll be bold yet cautious and firm - willed!"

Harry understood Dudley's good intentions and replied firmly.
