Fifteen days later, in the basement of the Folly family manor.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Li Chuan's wand pointed at the fat man tied to the cross, and a streak of evil green light shot out, accurately hitting the fat man.
The fat man, struck by the Killing Curse, didn't even let out a scream before dying with a look of horror.
"What a terrifying curse!"
Going forward to examine the fat man's corpse, he discovered that the fat man's body hadn't suffered any damage, but he had died as if his soul had been extracted.
Perhaps because of the foundation he had built in the previous two months of studying magic, coupled with Old Manu's wholehearted guidance, Li Chuan had now mastered many powerful Dark Arts.
Including the three Unforgivable Curses, which made all wizards tremble with fear and were outlawed by the Ministry of Magic, punishable by imprisonment in Azkaban upon discovery of their use.
He often practiced the Cruciatus Curse and the Soul Extraction Curse on the remaining living people because they didn't kill, but the Killing Curse resulted in instant death, so today was his first time using it formally.
The effect was indeed terrifying. Even he felt that if he were hit by it, he might not be able to withstand it.
Because after researching these past few days, including today's practice, he discovered that the Killing Curse's attack was different from other spells in that it should be a kind of soul attack magic.
It directly affects the soul, and a strong physical body is useless.
Only a strong enough soul can survive after being hit by the Killing Curse.
The soul strength of a normal wizard isn't much stronger than that of a Muggle, so being hit by the Killing Curse is a one-hit kill.
He asked himself if his body's soul strength definitely exceeded that of ordinary people, but whether he could withstand the Killing Curse was hard to say.
Fortunately, although the Killing Curse is guaranteed to kill, there are still many ways to deal with it.
The simplest is to dodge. The casting gesture of the Killing Curse is to draw a Z shape with the wand, and then shoot out a very conspicuous and dazzling green magic light.
As long as you can predict it in advance, you can easily dodge it.
Secondly, although the Killing Curse can ignore the defense of magic shields such as the Shield Charm, it can be blocked by physical defenses. Walls, stones, etc., can all block it.
However, be careful that even if it is blocked, it will be blown open, so you must choose something sturdy to block it.
Finally, there is the beam clash, which is to simultaneously release the Arming Charm and the Killing Curse to counter each other. If your strength exceeds the opponent's, you can directly suppress and disarm the opponent's wand.
Similarly, this is not so easy.
The Killing Curse has a strong killing power. If your strength is only about the same as the opponent's, or a little higher, it is difficult to suppress the opponent.
Also, to form a beam clash, you must accurately connect your Arming Charm's magic light with the green light shot by the opponent when they cast the Killing Curse.
If the connection is not accurate, the result will be that the two magic rays miss, the opponent is disarmed, and you are directly killed by the Killing Curse.
For Li Chuan, he would definitely choose the first option. After all, with his physical fitness plus Chakra, if he really dodged, unless dozens of Black Wizard used the Killing Curse to shoot him together, they wouldn't even think about hitting him.
"Mr. Folly, I've taught you everything I can. Can you let me leave now?"
Looking at Li Chuan killing a Muggle with the Killing Curse, Old Manu quickly asked.
He had basically taught the other party all the Dark Arts he knew. What the other party had to do next was to spend time practicing slowly and researching on their own. His role was already very, very small.
So he hoped that the other party would keep their promise and let him leave.
As for after leaving, he had already thought about it. He would definitely make the other party pay the price. As a Black Wizard with quite a reputation internationally, how could he swallow this insult?
The key was that he felt that if it weren't for the sneak attack, with the other party's demonstrated magical abilities, he wouldn't be his opponent at all.
"Oh, of course. I swore in the name of our Folly family that I would definitely let you leave."
Li Chuan put away his wand and gave Old Manu, whose hands were tied beside him, a gentle smile.
This Old Wizard was indeed not of much help to him now. The master leads you in, but the cultivation is up to you. In terms of Dark Arts, he could be considered to have entered the door.
"Obliviate, memory implantation, Stupefy!"
With a wave of his wand, a three-in-one spell, the Obliviate, fake memory charm, and Stupefy hit Old Manu in succession, directly knocking him unconscious.
Carrying the unconscious Old Manu, Li Chuan instructed Bari to bury all the corpses in the basement in the back garden and clean up all traces, then Apparated directly to the hall of the London Ministry of Magic.
Letting him go was definitely happening, but only to the Ministry of Magic.
During these two months of studying magic, Li Chuan had been thinking about a question. That was whether or not he should participate in Dumbledore and Grindelwald's global wizarding war.
If he didn't participate, he could continue to honestly run the shop and study magic as Tom Foley. The level of safety would definitely be guaranteed, and in the end, Dumbledore would win, and the wizarding World would usher in decades of peace.
However, relying solely on the identity of Tom Foley, to be honest, it would be difficult to access many profound magical knowledge, and the improvement of strength would also be slow.
So, after thinking about it, he felt that he should actively participate in it. Taking some risks to improve his strength was acceptable.
Then, the next question was, should he help Dumbledore or Grindelwald?
Helping Dumbledore would be very simple. Following the plot, he would definitely win in the end. Helping Grindelwald would mean changing the plot, which would involve some risks, but the benefits of helping Grindelwald would definitely be greater.
Because even if he helped Dumbledore, with Dumbledore's personality, it would be difficult to get many benefits from him.
Moreover, even if you helped him, if he later discovered that you had done something bad, he would still deal with you.
On Grindelwald's side, one could learn a lot of Dark Arts, especially the large-scale Fiendfyre that could burn down an entire city.
Secondly, with Grindelwald's personality, as long as you helped him, whether it was experimenting on Muggles or killing other wizards, he wouldn't care.
The disadvantage was that you had to listen to his orders and face Dumbledore at his peak, and Newt and others, who were also not weak.
But overall, he still leaned towards Grindelwald.
However, just yesterday, he suddenly thought of a third option, which was why couldn't he get benefits from both sides? Why join one side? Why not take down the entire wizarding World himself?
He wasn't the real Tom Foley. He was Li Chuan, a person who could obtain different powers in Marvel and Hokage, including later Worlds. In the future, his strength would definitely crush Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
So, wouldn't it be better to try to unify the entire wizarding World himself? When that time comes, wouldn't all resources be at his disposal?
