Explosions echoed one after another in a small mountain yard, this is a space enclosed in a suit case similar to Newt Scammander's suit case. Damian is dodging all the spells and continued using the spells he learned from the tome in room of requirement.
Aberforth for his part is also putting some effort to defend against the spells as they carried power unlike what modern spells have. Aberforth is shocked by the prowess that Damian is showing at this moment. In just one year, a kid who begged him to teach him some spells grow to an extent that gave him a tough time in battle.
As they stopped the duel, the surroundings are all messed up, Albus Dumbledore is also shocked to witness Damian's growth. For once he is genuinely concerned if Damian were to become a dark lord, then the wizarding world will be genuinely doomed. With this growth rate, it will only take few more years before Damain grows to rival himself and given some time he may even catch up with the founders.
That thought alone made Albus unsettled, though he still held hope that Damain won't turn to this leaf, because he saw Damain care for his friends. As long as he is guided well, he may become his successor watching over the younger generations.
But Albus Dumbledore don't know Damain has no such plans. The most he likes is freedom, being a free bird without any bounds, after his revenge he is planning to lead his life as he pleases and die in a few decades. Yep, despite having the longevity trait, he possessed no such desire to live long life.
To him, it's just coincidental side effect that appeared while curing himself from the effects of Obscurus. Aberforth stared at Damain for a while before sighing inwardly, he didn't expect the hatchling to develop it's wings this early.
He could only agree to Damian's decision. Unlike his brother, he didn't care about the dark Lord stuff, as long as Damian is okay, he won't care about anything else. He wanted to stop Damian from taking revenge fearing this guy might die, but now, he don't know if he can stop Damian anymore from walking this path.
Albus Dumbledore also wanted to stop Damian. But thinking about the shady organisation and the cult along with criminal groups behind it, he sighed. Politics can hinder him well, moreover he is old, and he is held by Hogwarts, what he cares most about is the future of wizarding world, the students of Hogwarts.
If he really makes a move, then the dark forces will take advantage of his actions to enforce their authority on Hogwarts, he certainly never wanted that. That is why he never made any big moves in the recent few decades. He is concerned about the students of Hogwarts and their future which is hindering him and bound him in a political cage.
But Damian has no such cages, moreover his past made it so, that even Albus Dumbledore wanted to reconsider his decisions, especially when knowing Damian won't stop at anything until he achieves his vengeance. Even if Aberforth and Albus Dumbledore refused to let him do this, he will do it regardless.
That's how stubborn Damian can be. He made clear his stances long ago, the moment he gets enough power he will start his vengeance. There is no stopping him, forcing him to obey will only further fuel the resolve and efforts that Damian currently have.
And even if Albus were to force Damain to obey, it will only create a bigger monster for later, Albus Dumbledore wanted to avoid creating an even bigger monster than voldemort. Damian meanwhile is seriously researching how to remove this bloody trace away.
Even with the notes of Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore and records from the Rowena's library, there is very less information about this. Especially since it came into motion only after the statute of secrecy. It's one of biggest kept secrets in the wizarding world.
Damian then remembered something, maybe he can use the blood technique that fooled the magic phone technology here too, he needs to place this trace on an object that imitates his mana signature, maybe like a blood rune made from his blood.
After thinking for a while he grabbed the Alchemy notes given by Albus Dumbledore yesterday. That old man left in a simple yet cryptic puzzle," a friend of mine is interested in taking a disciple to pass his legacy. If you can impress him, maybe he will accept you as a disciple. Prepare well, you have three weeks before you can meet him. Don't refuse it, he is one of the most powerful wizards I know too with a knowledge inheritance that is no less than Hogwarts library ".
How can Damian not recognise who it was. It's definitely Nicholas Flamel. After knowing what happened, that old Alchemist must have developed an interest in knowing what changes the ritual brought to Damian and may be even try to imitate it or is this genuine interest.
Regardless Damian is now studying Alchemy. And his head feels like it's going to burst soon, he is keep going on to make a blood rune in order to cheat the trace. Making a blood rune isn't that simple, it will take so much effort to produce one. Especially for a novice like him.
As Damian continued using the runes to make a blood runestone, failure became a very common thing here. He destroyed nearly 100 stones and didn't even manage to produce a single blood rune. That's how tough it is to produce a blood rune stone.
And Albus Dumbledore along with Aberforth refused to help him here. Figures, since they mostly never wanted him to leave for his vengeance. So he can only count on himself for this one. So Damian is brainstorming daily, almost bashing hisbgead against walls to figure how this trace and also blood rune works exactly.
