Chapter 227 “A Powerful Patronus”

The Patronus Charm is known as one of the most famous and powerful defensive spells among spells known to wizards. It is an extremely complex and difficult-to-cast spell that invokes a semi-figurative positive force known as the Patronus.

Most of the wizarding world wizards cannot successfully cast the Patronus Charm, and even those wizards who can cast it cannot summon a fully materialized Patronus.

For most wizards who can cast the Patronus Charm, the Patronus they summon is actually a cloud of silvery translucent light.

The incorporeal type Patronus can’t fend off Dementors. While the corporeal type Patronus can not only easily fend off Dementors but also as send messages from a long distance.

In the past, wizards who could summon the corporeal Patronus were usually elected as high-level officials of the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic.

After such a long time of continuous efforts, Jerry finally succeeded in mastering this extremely difficult spell. It is not difficult to learn spells like the Patronus Charm. Jerry bought spells about the Patronus Charm in the book he bought at a bookstore in Diagon Alley before.

However, the difficulty of this spell was indeed somewhat beyond his imagination. Based on his magical foundation at the time, it was difficult to learn a spell as difficult as the Patronus Charm alone.

In order to maximize his own strength, he temporarily gave up the study of the Patronus Charm and instead focused on other aspects. Until now, his magic foundation has been greatly improved, plus he has obtained Voldemort at his side, which he can always ask whenever he needs help.

After continuous efforts, he managed to release the Patronus before Christmas was over.

Generally, before the wizard releases the Patronus, he does not know what his Patronus will be. Based on experience, most of the time, it is the animals you are close to, or it has a lot to do with the wizard’s personality, emotions at the time, and other aspects.

Jerry didn’t have any particularly close animals. When he bought Crookshanks, it wasn’t because he liked cats but because he felt it could help him later. Most of the time, he sent Crookshanks to Hermione for foster care.

The main reason is that Hermione likes Crookshanks very much, and Crookshanks also likes Hermione very much. Therefore, before he was successfully released, Jerry didn’t know that his Patronus would be a seven or eight-meter-tall giant.

Standing in front of Jerry now, the Patronus who he can control, is a tall giant.

Jerry has seen the form of this Patronus in a book, but it is extremely rare, and there is only one recorded in the history of wizards.

It was a famous ancient Greek wizard recorded on the chocolate frog, and everyone called him Andros the Invincible. Because in the era when he was alive, he was the most powerful wizard, and no wizard could beat him in a duel. He could even cast the Patronus Charm without a wand.

You must know that there was no killing spell in ancient Greece, and the Patronus Charm, as the most powerful defensive spell, could basically defend against most of the spell attacks at that time.

Because the moment Andros released his Patronus, he had already won.

“Perhaps, I should test its power. Whether it is really as powerful as the legends.”

Looking at the Patronus he summoned, Jerry decided to conduct a test on all aspects of it to understand its power, and the best test is actual combat. Turning his head and looking around the suitcase, he quickly found an object suitable for testing the power of his Patronus.

“Norbert, come here!”

In his heart, he sent an order to Norbert, and soon, Norbert fluttered her wings and flew towards Jerry’s direction. At this time, Norbert was over a year old and had completely mastered the skills of flying and breathing fire, but her body was still a few months away from being a full-grown adult. Even so, its lethality is already terrifying.

Dragon claws that can easily tear apart the flesh of ordinary people, dragon teeth that are sharp enough to bite steel bars, powerful magic flames, and dragon scales that are harder than steel plates. These all show the power of a Norwegian Ridgeback.

“Okay. Suppose you help me test something here. I will ask Sun Lok to give you extra meals in the evening.” Feeling the grievance in Norbert’s heart, Jerry comforted him helplessly.

Because Norbert’s magic resistance is relatively high, he often uses Norbert to experiment with his own magic, which causes Norbert to know that nothing is good when he hears his call.

The work of this experimental magic is perfect to be tested on Norbert and the Basilisk, but the Basilisk cannot fly. If he wants to fully test the power of his Patronus, he will have to ask Noble for it.

There is also a fire dragon in the box, the Peruvian Vipertooth. Jerry named it Noosa. It was snatched from a French black market dealer before, but it has just learned to breathe fire and cannot fly yet.

“Attack with all your might.”

He issued an attack command to Norbert, and Norbert flew up immediately. Facing the giant standing, there was a dragon flame. In order to test the magic resistance of the giant, Jerry did not control the giant to dodge but directly raised his arms and crossed them in front of his chest.

The powerful dragon flame that can melt steel was sprayed on the giant, but it was unable to cause any damage to it.

Seeing that the magic was useless, Norbert swooped and grabbed the giant’s head. But this time, Jerry still didn’t make the giant dodge. The sharp dragon claws grabbed the giant’s head, and it didn’t take much effort to crack it.

Obviously, the giant’s defense isn’t pretty good when it comes to physical attacks.

However, in just a few seconds, the giant’s head was completely restored to its original state.
