Chapter 258 256 Treatment Like a Thousand Cuts

"Let's go."

Phoebus led a few people along the stairs and walked through the door in the portrait to a room that was almost exactly the same as the one just now.

"This is our family's refuge. When our enemy the Dalai Lama comes, we can activate the magic circle inside. In that case, except for a few magic spells, this place will not be destroyed."

"According to family records, the structure of this place is exactly the same as that of the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, you can safely use any magic here without worrying about any other accidents."

Dumbledore nodded, looked at Astoria and asked,

"So, Miss Greengrass, are you ready?"

Astoria took a deep breath and said with a slight trembling,

"Ready, Professor."

"Very well, then, Fox!"

As Dumbledore spoke, a ball of flame appeared directly in front of everyone's eyes. The flame immediately turned into a phoenix, landed on Dumbledore's shoulder, and rubbed Dumbledore's cheek affectionately.

Dumbledore smiled and said a few words to Phoenix in a language that was like singing, and Phoenix responded with a high-pitched singing voice, which made everyone in the room feel excited and suddenly felt that the mourning platform was clear and bright, and their spirits were lifted.

Feeney glanced at Phoebus and said,

"Phobos, I personally suggest you not to stay here, because the next scene will not be what you want to see,"

Phoebus actually imagined what would happen next. Although he said he agreed, if he really saw his daughter suffering that kind of pain, he was not sure whether he would interfere. The whole process, so after Feeney said these words, he left this very private room.

After Phoebus left, Finny said to Astoria,

"Um, Astoria, I think you might need to prepare a set of clothes, if you don't want to walk out of this room naked after everything is over."

Astoria was stunned and looked at Finny in surprise.

Feeney shrugged and explained,

"Didn't I just say that we will use the fierce fire to burn your body to burn out the curse. Under the action of the fierce fire, everything on your body will be burned out, and the body will be burned under the action of the phoenix flame. However, clothes cannot be restored, so if you have anything that is precious or important, it is best to take it off now, otherwise, they will be destroyed by the fire. "

Astoria was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.

He stretched his hands back and gently unzipped the clothes on his back.

As the zipper slid down, the white skin was exposed to the air, catching the eyes of Finny, Dumbledore, and Nico.

Dumbledore's lover is Grindelwald. This forbidden love makes him completely indifferent to women, not to mention that at his current age, he can be Astoria's grandfather.

Compared to Dumbledore, let alone Nico, five hundred years of life had already made him look down on everything.

But compared to the two elders, Feeney is a bit immature.

Astoria's snow-white skin, due to being cursed for many years, is almost bloodless, like gelatin.

The eleven-year-old girl's figure has already been measured. Although she is still very immature, she can already see the scale. Not surprisingly, she must be a beautiful woman.

And Feeney is only fourteen years old now. He is a young, ignorant and impulsive age. The scene before him naturally makes him a little confused and unable to rest.

If it were his usual mood swings, that would be fine.

But now, the very beginning of the entire process was completed by him. The use and control of the Fierce Fire Curse required his full devotion, without any distraction in his mind.

At this time, he cannot do this.

So, I sat down and kept describing a heavy book in my mind, filling in the contents of the book carefully.

Imagining this completely non-existent thing made his restless mind calm down for once, and he finally regained his composure.

When he opened his eyes once, what was revealed was a pair of calm, cold eyes without a trace of emotion.

At this scene, Nico nodded secretly. The talent of quickly calming down and calming down is very precious in magic, and this proves Finny's outstanding magic talent.

"Are you ready?"

Feeney asked again. This time, his voice was much colder.

After all, Astoria is still a little girl. What she did before was already the boldest behavior in her life. Now she is too shy to speak. She can only nod to express that she is ready for everything.

"Fierce fire!"

Following Finny's spell, a large ball of flames flew from his wand towards Astoria's weaker and more beautiful body, like a landscape.

Lihuo is an extremely terrifying magic, and the summoned flame has the effect of burning out all things. Unless a special counter-spell is used, or many wizards use the ending spell together, it will continue to burn until everything around it is destroyed. Burned out.

Ever since Finny received the Hufflepuff inheritance and took the blood sublimation potion, he has never uttered a spell when using magic.

The sublimation of his bloodline has allowed his control over magic power to reach a level that surpasses that of the great wizard and is even legendary.

Even unfamiliar magic can be cast silently with this powerful magic control.

However, when using the Fire Curse now, in order to better control the magic, Finite recited the spell intentionally.

Under Fini's control, the fierce fire climbed up Astoria's body, slowly covering her whole body.

"professor!"

Seeing this, Feeney hurriedly shouted to remind Dumbledore that it was time.

When Dumbledore heard this, he immediately waved the elder wand in his hand, and a large ball of orange flame flew out from Fox's body, merging with the fierce fire summoned by Finny.

When Astoria was about to be burned to death by the fierce fire, her body was ignited and began to restore the burned muscles, tissues, blood vessels, and skin.

"Ah~"

A miserable scream came out of Astoria's mouth uncontrollably, her voice trembling, and it kept getting lower and weaker, and finally became inaudible.

Fierce fire burned through Astoria's body, burning every inch of her skin, every muscle, and every blood vessel.

At the same time of this extreme pain, another kind of flame followed Li Huo, igniting the place where Li Huo had burned once again, just like sprinkling hot pepper mixed with fine salt on a freshly cut wound. The boiling water is normal,

Death by a thousand cuts is not enough to describe the pain Astoria needs to endure at this time, but this whole process requires Astoria to remain absolutely awake, and even requires her to perform high-digit calculations at this point.

As the flames burned, the only sound Astoria made was an unexplained whimper—because her vocal cords had been burned away.

Feeney could clearly see that under the action of the fierce fire, the beautiful skin that had made him temporarily distracted turned into miserable white bones, and the flesh and blood between the bones was also burning.

And the flames of the phoenix are constantly restoring the burned tissues, hanging on to Astoria's remaining life.

This is the result of Finny and Dumbledore's deliberate efforts. If they want to get rid of the curse, Astoria's body must be completely destroyed before the curse has spread. In the process, Phoenix's body must be completely destroyed. The function of the flame is just to kill oneself,

The fierce fire burns not once, but multiple times. It will work together with the flames of the phoenix, constantly burning Astoria's body, then recovering, then burning, recovering, burning and recovering, and so on. repetition, repetition,

Until there was no trace of curse in her body, just like the Muggle blood transfusion surgery, Astoria's entire body was replaced. They could even be said to be replacing the entire bloodline of the Greengrass family.

Of course, the actual situation is more complicated. Astoria's bloodline will not be changed, but her body can indeed be said to have been replaced, and even the bloodline of the entire family has been replaced. It can be said to have been cleaned, but the whole process was completed on her body.

",,,,,,,,"

As time goes by slowly,

Feeney's forehead was already covered with sweat. In order to ensure that Li Huo would not really take Astoria's life, he and Dumbledore needed to maintain a high concentration of consciousness. If Astoria was constantly While enduring physical pain, he and Dumbledore were constantly enduring mental pain.

Nico kept checking Astoria's body with the spirit to confirm the condition of the curse.

Now Astoria has long since lost the strength to cry. Among the whole room, only Nico is still normal.

Even Dumbledore, a legendary wizard, looked pale at this time, as if his life had been spent for decades and was weak.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Nico suddenly shouted excitedly,

"It'll be fine soon, hold on!"

As Nico shouted, the three people in the room who were suffering from pain regained some energy.

Tightening the wand in his hand, Feeney bit the tip of his tongue. The smell of blood spread in his mouth, and the pain made him wake up a little.

He immediately felt very lucky. If Nico's shouting hadn't woken him up just now, he would have completely lost control of Li Huo. However, Astoria didn't have the strength to shout yet, which made him lose control of Li Huo. Huo's judgment was almost, just almost, a failure this time, and the result of the failure was that this well-behaved, sensible little girl passed away completely.

Fortunately, I survived.

Following Nico's command, Feeney controlled the fire to leave Astoria's body and slowly extinguish it.

The phoenix flame controlled by Dumbledore suddenly became much stronger after losing the restraint of the fierce fire, covering Astoria's entire body.

As a large ball of orange flame slowly extinguished,

In the middle of the room, which had been burnt to dark brown, Astoria lay there naked and very weak, breathing heavily.

"us,,,"

Finny fell to the ground, looked at Nico and Dumbledore in confusion, and asked,

"Success?"

Dumbledore smiled bitterly and did not speak, perhaps because he did not have the strength to speak. He gestured to Nico,

Nico moved his body in small steps and squatted next to Astoria, examining her carefully.

If Astoria had not just experienced the pain that made her despair, she would definitely feel all kinds of discomfort and disgust at this time. After all, any young girl would lie naked on the ground and let a five-hundred-year-old An elderly man would feel absolutely disgusted if his hands wandered around his body, even if the move was well-intentioned and he was checking his own situation.

After a moment, Nico stood up with a smile and turned around to announce.

"We succeeded,"

After a pause, he looked at Feeney, very excited.

"Finney, you changed history and found a way to cure the blood curse. It's not just this kind of curse. This method can be used for any curse related to the body that cannot be relieved normally,"

Dumbledore also laughed when he heard this, looked at Finny and praised,

"Finney, with your current achievements, if nothing unexpected happens, you can definitely obtain a first-class medal of the Merlin Order, and it is not impossible to even become a member of the Wizengamot."

Feeney lay on the ground completely relaxed and said with a smile,

"I don't care about the medal of Sir Merlin, but I am still more interested in the membership of the Wizengamot. Moreover, our purpose this time has never been to achieve any kind of achievement, but to save a living life." life, isn’t it?”

Dumbledore laughed with satisfaction. At this moment, he looked at Finny with pure eyes, only admiration and praise.

Before that, there was always a hint of depth in his eyes when he looked at Feeney, and his interactions with Feeney always had a hint of conspiracy in addition to their friendship.

Feeney and Dumbledore recovered one after another. After all, their fatigue was just from standing still in the same position for several hours and mental exhaustion.

On the contrary, Astoria, because her entire body has been restored, can be regarded as a new body, which means that she cannot control her body in a short time and can only lie in this cold on the ground,

Feeney glanced at her, sighed, and waved his wand.

The clothes she had taken off earlier flew to her side automatically, and she took the initiative to put them on for her.

After everything was over, Feeney let the body controlling Astoria float behind them, and they walked out of the secret room together.
