Chương 280: Loot(2)

Nick himself wouldn't have known about it had it not been for him seeing it in the system shop at a staggering eight million points per drop. Looking at the vial of the stuff in his hand Nick estimated there to be at least ten drops worth of the stuff in it. "This alone makes the trip worth it for me but the rest of this stuff is just an added bonus." Nick said with a smile while the portrait was scowling angrily. "You probably don't even know what that is so your attempt at antagonizing me is pointless." the portrait scoffed.-

"God's blood , and to be fair I normally wouldn't know what it is but I am a bit special in that regard. The things I can accomplish with this stuff gives me goosebumps just thinking about it." Nick said honestly. He wasn't joking either since a single drop of this stuff was enough to create enchantments so complicated it may as well have been a runic reconstruction of every gene in a species DNA. Though the enchanter would need to have the appropriate level of skill to accomplish such a thing to begin with.-

"Tsk! It's not like I can stop you anyway so fine take everything and I hope you choke on your greed!" the portrait said angrily. Nick chuckled but chose to ignore the portrait and focus on removing the curses attached to some of these items. The portrait grew more and more somber as it saw this since it became clear to it that none of it's likenesses trapped items were going to work. One needed to keep in mind that while not as skilled in the art of enchantment as Rowena Ravenclaw , Salazar Slytherin was still extremely skilled at it.-

Hiding curses from detection was a simple matter for him and yet Nick was countering and removing the powerful dark curses easily. "Are you a seer? How can you remove these curses with so little effort?" the portrait couldn't help but ask as it simply couldn't figure it out. Most seers had some sort of mental peculiarity that made them strange in conversation yet Nick had none of that. Nick merely smirked while removing yet another curse and storing away the item it was attached to. For people like Salazar mysteries were maddening things so Nicks actions were driving the portrait nuts as it wracked it's mind for an answer.-

It couldn't come up with a single answer that made sense however and as a result could only grit it's teeth in frustration. Soon enough Nick had packed away the various artifacts and materials and was moving on to the books as well. He could only shake his head at the many layers of curses on each of them that he had the strip off one by one. He could understand cautious but this was getting ridiculous as there was way more than necessary in place on all this treasure.-

Amongst the books there was one that caught his attention however that was a journal bound in leather. Flipping it open Nick was surprised to see that it was nothing less than a step by step guide to the perfected method of horcruxes. Salazar was definitely correct in saying that it was dreadful even by his standards as unlike the original horcrux method that merely used murder and a ritual to create a horcrux this version burned the souls as fuel to slowly transfer ones own soul fully into an object while leaving a connection to the body.-

Yeah "souls" as in more than one at a time , Nick was disgusted by this information as to burn souls in this way was to erase them from existence fully. It was heinous beyond measure and only someone mad or totally without conscience would be willing to perform it. "There is nothing worth knowing within these pages." Nick said and used his ability to cover the book in his hand in violent flame reducing it to ashes. "I can't blame you for that decision but that is so wasteful , do you know how rare soul magic is?" the portrait said slightly regretful at the journals destruction.-

Nick snorted and channeled his spiritual energy into his hand making it glow for a brief instant before he stopped. The portrait had bulging eyes and a gaping mouth after seeing that. "I know more about souls than you ever did so don't talk to me about how rare it is." Nick replied scathingly. "Necromancy? No your spiritual energy was to pure for that , it is something else." The portrait started talking to itself in an attempt to figure out what Nick did. After storing away the last book Nick turned back to the portrait with a vicious smile.


Chương 281: Salazar Slytherin

"Now all that's left is to deal with you sir portrait or should I say Salazar Slytherin?" Nick said mockingly and the portrait took on a cold arrogant expression. "How did you figure me out?" the founder asked calmly but with a slight menacing chill. "I told you already didn't I? I am more knowledgeable about souls than you ever were. That ritual of Herpo the foul's leaves a permanent taint on the users soul that anyone sensitive to spiritual energy could spot from miles away. It also didn't help that the magic used to animate portraits wasn't created until about a century after your disappearance from the school." Nick said with a mocking smile.-

Salazar snorted angrily and much to Nick's amazement stepped out of the portrait and stood before him in the flesh. "It matters not I suppose since you won't be leaving this place alive." Salazar said as he pulled out a long wand from his robe that Nick recognized as a branch of the golden apple tree in the Ravenclaw vault. At first glance it looked like Slytherin had full mastery over it but to nick's magical senses it was a very different story.-

The wand was violently rejecting the Salazar who had turned himself into little more than a lich at this point but was being suppressed by the man's massive mana. Oh yes the founder had the most power out of anything Nick had ever encountered up to this point and appeared like a blazing sun to his senses. Nick raised his wand "LUMOS MICARE!" he spoke and Slytherin hissed angrily as Nick blinded him temporarily as an extremely bright burst of light exploded from the tip of Nick's wand. "Finite!" the founder roared but looked confused when his blindness didn't go away.-

Nick smirked and dashed to the side out of the way of a green spell from the founder who silent cast it at his previous position. Nick pulled the Nazgul ring out of Greed and tossed it past Slytherin who had already recovered to a degree and coldly mocked him for not even being able to aim right. Nick grinned viciously "Your projection isn't the target!" he said and it took the founder all of a split second to go pale and turn back to the portrait in a panic. "NO!" he yelled angrily as the ring struck the portrait and immediately wrapped itself around it and went to work.-

"AAAAAHHHHH!" he started screaming in agony as his projection began to unravel as his soul was being devoured by the ring. Nick watched on coldly as this happened since he had been planning this moment since he discovered the true nature of the portrait. See originally he had thought it was merely a cursed artifact that the actual founder left behind that was wrong somehow. But after reading the process of the perfected horcruxes he figured out what was wrong with it , it was a phylactery for Salazar Slytherin himself.-

From that moment on he started to set a trap for Slytherin to force him to use his projection leaving his phylactery unprotected. Salazar Slytherin had nothing to blame for having his phylactery destroyed other than his own arrogance. Much like the diary soul shard he had underestimated Nick far too much and paid the ultimate price for it. He couldn't be blamed though since from the looks of things Nick had cheated to a large degree in order to kill the basilisk. Tying it down and have multiple roosters crow at the same time didn't really take much skill in magic after all.-

Unlike with the horcruxes it took quite a long time for the phylactery to be destroyed by the Nazgul ring since it contained a complete soul. Some might think that this victory should have been impossible given Slytherins power and experience but in truth the man made several mistakes that lead to this outcome. The first was already mentioned as his arrogance lead to him underestimating Nick. The second was that his projection couldn't leave the painting for very long as the ambient mana simply wasn't enough to support his existence.-

This meant that by placing his phylactery in such a location he had grown very rusty over the last thousand years since there was no new knowledge available to learn. He had effectively trapped himself in the chamber of secrets until someone came along able to take his phylactery out. The third and final mistake he made was not considering that with his knowledge of souls Nick might have had a way to destroy his phylactery. All of these mistakes together had lead to Salazar Slytherin meeting his end after a thousand years at the hands of a second year student.
