Harry Potter: Demon Monarch

Chapter -12.

In the vast expanse of the sea, a lonely island drifts by itself.

On this island, countless Dementors, cloaked in ragged attire, roam without purpose.

At Azkaban, light offenders on the fringes of the prison are enthusiastically chanting slogans in a mix of tones. After completing the original mottos, they often dive into a few improvised ones as well.

"The ministry is nonsense; Dementors deserve better pay!"

"Purebloods are nothing but parasites; the ministry serves them!"

As they read, each prisoner begins to shake their heads with excitement, frequently becoming agitated by the bizarre nature of these new slogans.

Initially, they were compelled to learn the standard slogans from Lester. 

However, once Lester introduced them to the other slogans, their eagerness to learn skyrocketed. 

They now viewed the brilliant philosopher who composed these lines as their idol, eagerly absorbing knowledge about them each day.

In his cell, Lester sat upon his unique throne, listening to the prisoners loudly reciting and lost in thought.

What had started as a simple quest to find a reason to betray someone had unexpectedly escalated into this scenario.

Watching the group of inmates recite slogans all day, Lester let out a helpless sigh.

Things had spiraled beyond what he had anticipated.

Since these new slogans emerged, everyone's learning enthusiasm had surged.

His chances for betrayal had significantly dwindled.

Moreover, the Dementors stationed to guard the light offenders appeared to be malfunctioning; as the prisoners chanted the slogans with zeal, they not only neglected their guarding duties but also swayed their bodies in attentiveness. 

They showed no signs of intervening at all.

So, by the sixth day of Lester's imprisonment, his fear points finally stabilized.

Of course, he had amassed quite a few points during this time.

Not only did he rake in a solid 50,000 fear points, but he also unlocked an exciting new feature of his system—a more sophisticated lottery!

[Dark Lord System]

[Host: Lester Bailey]

[Magic Power: 10 (Max Adult: 100)]

[Spells Mastered: God-level Invisibility (Max level, cannot be upgraded)  

Wall-passing Spell (Basic spell, cannot be upgraded)]

[Tasks: None]

[Lottery: 1 time (50,000 Fear Points/current draw)]

Previously, one could spend 1,000 fear points for a single draw, but now it required 50,000 for just one.

However, the prizes in the lottery had also greatly improved. 

For instance, in the initial lottery, Lester won a top-notch invisibility spell thanks to a beginner's gift.

Unfortunately, most other items he drew turned out to be completely useless. 

Take the wall-passing spell—why would anyone need to draw for that? Any Hogwarts graduate could probably cast it. 

And the super-strength Viagra? That was of zero use to Lester; it was nothing more than a filler item. 

Now that the lottery demands had heightened, the rewards were also of a higher caliber. 

Lester was quite pleased with this change.

"System, I want to make a draw!"

After accumulating 50,000 fear points over several days, Lester was thrilled to discover he could finally make a draw.

He had a good feeling that dropping 50,000 points for a single try wouldn't lead to disaster!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the spell 'Knot Tying Curse']

Lester: "???" 

Staring at the glowing 'Knot Tying Curse' on the system screen, Lester rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Though he had anticipated that the upgraded level 2 lottery would yield an offensive spell, 

he never imagined it would be something this extreme!

True to its name, the effect of the Knot Tying Curse is as intense as it sounds! 

[Knot Tying Curse: Legendary-level Dark Magic, can instantly twist a male enemy's critical area into a knot, making them entirely helpless in combat.]

"Dang, that's brutal," Lester said, feeling a shudder run through him at the thought of its effects.

That's just frightening!

...

While Lester was reflecting on the terrifying nature of his new spell, 

a colossal ship was steadily sailing towards Azkaban across the barren sea.

Today marked a full week since Lester's imprisonment, and it was time for new inmates to arrive at Azkaban.

On the ship's deck, Aurors were energetically explaining Azkaban's rules to the prisoners, 

while those below looked up, their expressions a mix of fear and confusion about what lay ahead.

It was clear that this group of prisoners was intimidated by the notorious name of Azkaban.

Among them, a man with a fierce expression ignored the Aurors' nonstop explanations.

Instead of confusion about the future like the other prisoners, this man's eyes burned with murderous intent.

While others were sent to Azkaban for their crimes as deemed by the Ministry of Magic, he was there by choice.

He had a mission to carry out: to eliminate the ten-year-old Lester!

Arlis, a notorious dark wizard, was confident that even without his wand, 

he could effortlessly complete the task using his formidable wandless magic.

In the magical realm, only a few individuals were capable of casting spells without a wand.

Many were able to cast the three Unforgivable Curses. 

Even Harry Potter, after witnessing a terrifying moment, managed to cast them fluidly.

Thus, being able to use the Killing Curse doesn't inherently signify someone's power. 

True power belongs to those who can perform silent casting and wandless magic with ease.

For example, even elite Auror teams include members who struggle with silent casting.

Let alone the more advanced wandless magic, a skill typically wielded by the heads of Hogwarts or prominent figures in the magical community.

Because of this, the Ministry of Magic could never fathom that a top-tier dark wizard skilled in wandless magic was confined in a cell meant for light criminals in Azkaban.

Dark wizards capable of wandless magic either don't engage in crime or commit severe ones.

Like Voldemort's followers, who are deep within the soul-sucking Dementor-filled prison, rarely awake.

"Clang!"

The ship suddenly collided with the rocks, and Sang Biao slowly rose to his feet, joining the other prisoners. 

He obediently followed the Aurors towards the Azkaban prison.

Having committed a minor offense purely to get into Azkaban, he was only set to serve a month.

In this short month, he planned to end the life of unarmed Lester, who was merely ten years old.
