Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

"I ask for a substitution."

The monster's choice seemed to be beyond Ciel's expectation. He showed a panicked expression and spoke hurriedly.

But the monster just laughed.

"Sorry, child."

The monster gently came to Ciel's side, put its big mouth close to Ciel's ear, and whispered in a hoarse voice that sounded like it was coming from hell.

"You can't ask for anything in this world."

It finally stood up.

The slender arms could be put on Dudley's shoulders without bending. The monster took two steps to the side while holding Dudley, who was about to collapse.

"Listen, kid."

"The test you have to pass is simple."

"You just have to make a choice."

The monster bent down again. It stared into Dudley's eyes.

At this time, Little Fatty was going crazy. He had never been so close to such a terrifying monster. Its face was so ferocious, its teeth were so sharp, and it was so tall. .It is the most terrifying existence in the world

If the little fat man hadn't been unable to move or control his body at this moment, his scream would have shattered the surrounding walls.

Maybe we can directly help them find a way out.

"There."

The monster suddenly stretched out its hand and pointed, and with its movement, a stone door suddenly appeared in the direction pointed by its finger.

"It's an exit."

"Get out of there and you can get out of here, which means you passed the test."

Dudley suddenly found that he could move. Almost without thinking or hesitating, he raised his feet and ran towards the door pointed by the monster.

But the next moment, as he saw the door and the monster's faint last words, his steps suddenly froze.

"But as a price, your three friends will stay here forever."

"forever."

"Now, make your choice."

The monster stood up, stretched out its arms, and its tall figure cast a shadow that seemed to wrap everyone in it.

"you."

"It's still them."

It chuckled.

This is the trial.

The trial of choice.

. . .

Does Ciel know what trials are behind these three doors? Of course he does.

The door on the left is the original plot in Pan's Labyrinth. The monster with hands instead of eyes. Although it is the original plot, it only uses the scene. The content of the trial has been changed. It does not mean that it does not eat. , it will not trigger.

There is a sheep-headed monster in the middle door, and the decoration in the room is actually the same as the other two rooms, with a long table, rich food, and monsters.

The test of the goat-headed monster is wisdom. If you answer all the questions correctly, you can leave, but the more questions you answer, the stupider you will become.

Even if you leave here in the end, you will become an idiot.

The room in the original plot of Pan's Labyrinth is the most difficult. It is a test of greed. The monster will only ask one question, whether it wants to leave here.

If you want to, you're not qualified and you'll never be able to leave, if you don't want to. .Of course the monster won't let you leave.

This is an endless loop. Until Charles traveled through time, no strategy team had found the answer to this question. Basically, entering this house is a dead end. It is one of the rare places where the plot gets stuck.

The one Ciel chose was a trial of choice.

The monster will make people make a choice, whether to choose to stay by themselves or choose to stay with their companions.

It doesn't matter even if one person enters, because the monster's magic will instantly allow him to capture the person undergoing the test, the closest person in the world, even if that person is not in Wonderland.

Stay, or leave.

In other words, no matter what, someone will be left in this room.

This is the test of Ciel's choice.

. . .

The trial of choice is the simplest in a sense. Ciel, who knows the strategy, only needs an Imperius Curse to control one person to come in with him.

Let that person choose to stay, and he can pass the trial. Even if the monster sees that the person is being controlled, it will not do anything, because a trial is a trial.

Unfortunately, this premise is prepared.

But they are not prepared now.

Choosing this door means that someone will definitely be left behind. .Whoever stays is better.

In fact, Ciel doesn't want anyone to make sacrifices or stay. This is not because he is a good person.

But because, as he said to Hermione, things haven't reached that point yet.

Ciel knows the strategy. In fact, the painting hanging on the closet is the exit. You can leave here by tearing open the painting.

But this monster is like a goalkeeper. Its strength is level [-] or above. No one can escape from it. But Ciel's Obscurus mode can barely do it. It can briefly entangle the monster and let others leave. He Leave again, that's totally doable.

So the way to leave has always been there, and things haven't gotten to that point yet.

Of course, if they hadn't picked up the skill of Obscurus, when they reached this point and came here, which kind of trial would Ciel choose and whether he would give up on someone. .

Even Ciel himself didn't have an answer to this, and he didn't want to think about the answer.

The only thing he knew was that he didn't want to die.

Things are not that bad yet.

. . .

Upon hearing the monster's question, both Harry and Hermione held their breath for a moment.

Even Hermione's eyes showed a kind of despair. Although she was not familiar with Dudley, her experience during this period also gave her a deep understanding of what kind of person Dudley was.

Let such a cowardly guy make a choice, whether to stay by himself or with his companions

She didn't have to think twice to know what decision Dudley would make.

Harry's eyes also showed disappointment. He knew his cousin better than Hermione. He was really bad, like a stupid pig in disguise.

It looks like a human, but it's actually a pig, and a stupid pig at that.

The monster faced the three little guys from Charles. It seemed to be smiling on its ferocious face, but it was so inhuman that it was difficult to tell what its expression was.

But it seemed to be very interested in the faces of the three little guys, Hermione's despair, Harry's loss, and Charles' panic. It was like looking at the most beautiful treasure in the world.

"Listen, kids, there's always something to gain and something to lose in this world."

"Maybe this will be the last thing you learn in your life, but I still hope you can remember it, maybe you can use it in the next life... Hehehehe."

The monster told a joke that he thought was humorous.

Then, Ciel suddenly laughed.

"Listen Dudley, trust yourself and the decisions you make."

"No one is born useless."

"And...trust me."

The monster was unmoved by Ciel's words. Instead, it smiled even more happily. This time, it could be seen that it was indeed smiling.

"Ho ho ho."

"I have seen many people threatening, pleading, and discouraging... They always have various means to interfere with their companions, but it is not them who make the choice."

"They never get what they expect."

But the monster with its back to Dudley didn't notice that Dudley's eyes changed the moment he saw the door it was pointing to.

He was hesitating, hesitating, shrinking, and. .fear.

Yes, in fear.

Especially after hearing Ciel's last words, he turned his head tremblingly. He looked at Ciel pleadingly with desperate eyes, and then he saw it in Ciel's eyes. .The long sword on the ground.

Ciel's eyes signaled him.

The monster turned a blind eye to their struggles. It was very confident in its own choice. It knew that this timid little fat man would definitely save him.

Then leave it with the most wonderful gift.

So this gave Dudley, the coward, plenty of time to struggle.

Seemingly understanding what Ciel meant, Dudley flinched again, but this time Ciel did not dissuade him, but looked at him with calm eyes.

So far, everything that needs to be done has been done.

As the monster said, it's time for Dudley to make a decision.

Then the next moment, with Harry and Hermione's eyes widening, Dudley suddenly picked up the sword that Harry had dropped on the ground.

After Harry was thrown away, the sword fell to the ground. Charles picked up the wand, but did not pick up the sword. Instead, he asked Hermione and Dudley to come over.

He squeezed Hermione away and seemed to be standing side by side with Harry in front, protecting Hermione and Dudley, but in fact it was a kind of blockage.

Because he knew very well that Modamok, the god of pain whose background was set as coming from the Greek pantheon and whose name almost no one had heard of, liked best to turn his back to the person making the choice and observe the passive The despairing look on the face of the man who endured it all.

In this way, Dudley can pick up the sword.

The long sword was not a magical weapon, and even except for the addition of mithril, it was not much sharper than the dagger that Ciel gave to Dudley.

But pick it up.

I picked up the courage.

"Kids, you should really see the look on your face right now."

The monster seemed to recognize Harry and Hermione's wide eyes as the disbelief when their companions abandoned them.

But Ciel's smile became even brighter. He raised the flag all the way, and finally switched to the boss to raise the flag.

As a villain, how dare you say this?

"You look..."

"what"

Halfway through the monster's words, it suddenly let out a loud roar of pain, because behind it, the chubby little Dundali was trembling, and with a desperate expression, he suddenly inserted the long sword into its chest. In the body.

The long sword penetrated from the front of its body with rich scarlet juice.

With Dudley's height, he definitely couldn't hit its heart. Of course, whether this thing had a heart was also a question. The sword seemed to be inserted into its lower abdomen, but no matter where it was, it was injured.

And yes, fatally wounded.

It must also be a fatal injury.

Because at this moment, countless prompts popped up in front of Ciel's eyes.

Your companion Dudley Dursley inspired a false badge of courage

The monster Modamok is attached to a special state: dying

Discover the target: God who obeys his duty and completes the trial

Name: The dying god of pain, Modamok

Challenge Level: 40

Spirit: 2500

Special status: dying or about to die

Remember: No one has heard of my name, but sooner or later you will.

Remember 2: I hate the faun

Bright blood bar

"Armor protection."

Charles's wand was already ready, and he cast the Iron Armor Curse on Harry and the three of them without thinking. This spell was also inspired by the War Rabbit, and he used it very skillfully.

Then without hesitation, he roared at the top of his lungs.

"Thunderbolt Explosion"

The thunderbolt explosion at level [-] is comparable to the spell released by Lao Deng himself.

"boom"

The violent explosion blew everything away in an instant. The scope of the explosion included the entire room, the long table, the food, everything was blown away by the huge explosion.

Even though they were protected by the Iron Armor Curse, Harry, Hermione and Dudley were still inevitably knocked to pieces by the impact of the explosion. They rolled on the ground several times before they were caught by the long table. and food debris.

The only ones that were not affected were Modamok and Ciel compared to those around them.

As a Greek god, Modamrok is still a god even if it is a no-name god that no one knows about. Dumbledore may be able to fight it if he comes in person, but it is impossible to kill it with just a spell.

He raised his arm to block it a little,

The blasting curse only left a charred blood mark on its skin, and its small eyes revealed a crazy and desperate look.

However, what is even crazier than it is Ciel.

Like Harry and others, Ciel didn't have any special qualities. He didn't even cast an iron armor spell on himself, so he should have withstood a greater impact in the explosion.

But he didn't.

That's because he relied on the impact of the explosion to directly enter the state of the Obscurus.

Use talent: Obscurus

The form has been switched, counting down: 240

The moment he released the blasting spell, traces of black smoke began to appear from Ciel's body. The smoke was like a thick ribbon or invisible ink. His figure began to scatter, like a distorted TV picture. .

Then, the impact of the blasting spell came.

"boom"

During the shock, Ciel's entire body instantly turned into a large mass of black matter. His face disappeared, his body disappeared, and everything about him was disappearing.

Between heaven and earth, only the pure magic power that represented him was left.

"Give me death"

In this large mass of black matter, Ciel's roar seemed to be heard.

The next moment, like countless sharp arrows, black matter instantly attacked the God of Pain, Modamok. It seemed that it did not expect that this guy it thought was only a little smart had such a hand. It only had time to raise its arm, and it was The black substance completely enveloped it.

God-level drops, Ciel is about to decide

. . .

As a popular game, there are actually many guide groups for conquering Magic Legend. As the seemingly useless badge of courage in the mall, it has naturally been studied to see if it is useful and who can use it.

Anyone who sees the description of the Badge of Courage may first think of Neville Longbottom, the Sword Master of Gryffindor.

But he actually couldn't use it.

Effect: Only the truly timid can use it and make the next attack a critical hit, but only if you have the courage to do so.

Because Neville Longbottom is not a coward, he never has been.

Then another strategy team focused on Harry's Muggle cousin, Dudley Dursley.

He can use it.

There was no doubt whether Dudley was a coward, but whether he really had courage, no one knew.

In the original plot, dementors once went to Harry's residence to attack him, and it was Dudley who was attacked at that time. Dementors can make people lose their happiness and think of the most painful memories.

According to Dudley afterwards, he saw the most horrific thing.

No one knows exactly what he saw, but what is certain is that from that day on, Dudley began to change. He no longer hung out with those gangsters, bullied children in the community, and vandalized public property.

Even when Harry and his family parted, even Aunt Petunia didn't say goodbye to Harry, but she said goodbye to Harry.

What did Dudley see?

He actually saw the truest self, a useless, wasteful, timid self, a self that he was unwilling to face or admit.

and then.

Then he finally faced himself.

change yourself.

This is also a kind of courage.

These settings and backgrounds were all dug up by the strategy team. Ciel viewed them as stories. He never thought that one day he would be able to use them and try them out himself.

How to kill a god beyond level.

After arriving at the hidden map of the Trial Land, Ciel was thinking about this issue.

The Obscurus was indeed very powerful in its form, but it was still unrealistic to kill a level 40 god-level monster. The most he could do was forcefully rush out with Harry and others.

Like Ciel said, that's a shame.

Then he thought of Dudley's background setting. It was very good. The main character was in place, and it was Dudley.

The badge of courage was attached when Ciel handed him the dagger and patted his shoulder lightly. No one noticed this small gesture.

But only the badge of courage is useless, Dudley dare not swing his sword against the god, everything is meaningless.

How to make Dudley swing this sword.

It is unrealistic and impossible for Dudley to find courage, because if he really finds courage, he will not be able to wear this badge of courage, and the badge will lose its effect.

Only when he was still as timid as a mouse, but at the last moment, he made a courageous blow. .Badges will really make a difference.

Just a moment, just a blow.

How to make a timid person dare to face the most terrifying monster.

Ciel thought about fear.

By suddenly choosing the stone door, Ciel diverted the attention of the three little guys. At this moment, he released a confusion spell on Dudley.

He had not practiced the Confusion Charm.

This spell is definitely the highest level spell that Ciel has released since he came to this world. In fact, if the magic had failed at that time, Ciel would not have carried out the subsequent series of plans. He would have taken them away directly. .

But the spell worked.

Ciel knew the strategy and knew exactly what kind of test Modarmock would give. He even knew what the door it opened leading to the exit looked like.

The Confusion Charm confuses everything Dudley sees.

In his eyes, what he saw was not a wooden door leading to the outside world, but a monster's mouth with ferocious fangs and a huge mouth open, as if leading to a bottomless abyss.

So he backed down, he hesitated.

His retreat at that time was not because of what the monster said, that if he left, his companions would stay, but because Dudley thought of the conversation between Ciel and the monster.

Will it really let them go? Will it really not eat them?

This door doesn't look like a normal door.

So when faced with a dead end in both forward and retreat, Dudley mustered up the courage to fight to the death, picked up the sword and swung it out.

Can do it, or can't do it.

His random presses brought three instant teleports to Ciel and his party, which would definitely require the use of Ciel's Obscurus Mode CD, but it was possible to get a god-level drop in exchange.

This level of drops was not available even in Ciel's original plan.

There is no background setting of the gods in the God-killing game, there are only a few bosses who look like gods but are not gods, but that is very difficult even in the late stage.

There is no doubt whether it is worth using a year's skill CD to exchange for one drop.

I can't really call him timid. .No, now it should be the brave fat man who has done something good or something bad.
