Chapter 173: “Taking Control”

Sean withdrew his hand attached to the Obscurus’ core. The madness, cruelty, and violent emotions in him had disappeared without a trace.

Sean smiled slightly and looked at the Obscurus in front of him. It was originally a magical animal containing pure dark power, and such negative emotions would not have any effect on it. The dark red light in its core flickered twice, looking a bit puzzled.

“How does it feel?” A thought was conveyed.

“I don’t feel anything. But it’s weird. You look very kind.” The Obscurus’ thoughts reached Sean’s mind.

With a smile on Sean’s face, he sat back on the chair again. The method Tom Riddle taught him really worked.

He communicated with Dave many times, and Sean came up with a bold guess. The method taught by Tom allows a wizard to communicate with another living body. This communication is a way of communicating at the soul level. Because the heart is opened, a sense of trust and intimacy, like a family, will quickly develop between the two.

That’s why Dave regarded Sean as his relative as soon as he hatched because they had already linked to each other. Sean has to admit that Tom has a talent that ordinary people can’t match. This also made him sure of one thing, Tom Riddle was not dead.

He probably lived in some kind of broken state, and Sean never forgot one thing. Tom’s body never showed up.

In the academic exchange with Nurmengard, Tom came to Hogwarts using Quirrell’s body, and his real body was never shown. Hence, there was a mist on his body.

He raised his head and looked at the Obscurus with a smile.

“Is it your first time communicating with someone?”

“It’s. Strange. But comfortable.” The Obcurus’ thought was conveyed, whether it was the limitation of thinking or the rigidity of never communicating. Its words were a bit stiff.

The other part of the power is the organic magic power. This magic power serves as the foundation of the Obscurus’ survival. The Obscurus doesn’t know where the magic power comes from, but it will die if this part of the power is depleted.

At the same time, this organic magic power is what Sean can control. Although the power is not great, controlling it takes more trial and error. Sean can instinctively acquire its powers when he borrows them.

Sean raised his left hand and raised his fingers. With the fluctuation of magic power, his left hand changed from the wrist, and the whole left hand disintegrated into black particles.

Sean was missing a hand, and the black particles gradually lingered in the entire room. Following Sean’s control, the particles turned into a pure black miniature Winged Demon and became an indescribable black creature for a while.

Sean waved his wrist, and the black particles seemed to be a part of his body that could be manipulated at will. Whether it was holding a water glass or folding a quilt, he could do it.

Of course, this ability cannot be used so simply.

The black particles instantly turned into a viscous substance like petroleum. The black, oily substance penetrated into the crevice of the cabinet.

It grabs a brand-new piece of parchment, and the parchment has completely lost its luster. The paper surface has turned into a light black, covered with scorched black marks like insects crawling over it.

Sean walked over and then took a breath, the parchment crumbled into confetti.

Sean blinked, and his pupils turned into pure black in an instant. He could turn his entire body into black particles as long as he wanted.

It’s a pity that a large part of his power at this time comes from the “Dark Sleeper”. If he was in his normal condition, at most, he could only turn his wrist. Sean still has a long way to go before he can control himself like Aurelius.

Just when he was about to test some abilities again, he had a hunch. Sean regained his form and turned back to his original appearance. At this time, the bedroom door was opened.
