Chapter 73: Take This, Avada Kedavra!
"Should I go in the opposite direction?"
Just as Dylan was still considering the results of this divination,
suddenly, a pungent, fishy smell came from above his head, followed by a sharp whistling sound!
Dylan instinctively looked up and saw a huge Acromantula descending ferociously from the sky.
In the dim moonlight, the coarse hairs on its body were clearly visible, its eight eyes gleamed with an oily green light, and its sharp fangs were wide open, ready to pounce on Dylan and tear him apart.
"Crap! So the arrow was pointing to right above me?!"
In the moment of life and death, Dylan didn't hesitate at all and directly used a spell wandlessly!
"Bird-Conjuring Charm!"
His figure was suddenly enveloped by a flock of black birds. This flock multiplied exponentially, wrapping Dylan in a ball that slammed violently into the Acromantula's massive body.
"Boom!"
The Acromantula was directly knocked away by the sheer number of birds and landed on the ground, its eight eyes showing a hint of confusion.
Taking advantage of the brief moment the giant spider was stunned, Dylan waved his hand.
Instantly, the birds rapidly circled around him, forming an air current that enveloped him and teleported him several meters away.
"You little bastard, you dare to sneak attack me, huh? Fine, fine, so you want to play dirty, then don't blame me for flashing and ulting!"
The moment he landed, Dylan's wand was already in his hand, pointed directly at the Acromantula.
"Crucio!"
A soft pink light instantly shot out, incredibly fast, and directly hit the Acromantula's body.
"Hiss!"
The Acromantula, struck by this heavy blow, immediately let out a piercing shriek that made one's eardrums ache.
Dylan waved his wand, increasing the range of the Silencing Charm.
"Quietus!"
Pink starlight particles instantly enveloped the Acromantula, abruptly silencing its screams, and even the sound of it rolling on the ground was eliminated.
"Humph." Dylan snorted softly, his mood much calmer.
The Forbidden Forest was truly dangerous. If he hadn't mastered several max-level spells, he might not have been able to react to such a sneak attack.
The Acromantula was still rolling around in agony in front of him, its eight thick legs frantically digging at the ground, stirring up the surrounding soil.
Dylan also saw that as its body violently twisted, it constantly convulsed, and cracks were even appearing on its originally hard exoskeleton.
"Hmm? This isn't Diffindo, how is its exoskeleton breaking?"
Or was this actually the effect of "Crucio"?
Dylan blinked. With a kind and merciful heart, he didn't want to see the creature struggling in pain in front of him, so he raised his wand again.
"Imperio!"
Another beautiful starlight particle shot out, enveloping the Acromantula.
The giant spider's struggling movements instantly froze, and it slowly floated up, suspended in mid-air.
Immediately afterward, a faint, translucent soul gradually floated out from the top of the Acromantula's head.
"This is my first time using the Imperius Curse, this feeling is really strange."
Dylan closed his eyes and gently tapped the soul with his wand.
In an instant, a massive amount of images flooded his brain.
The struggles and futile wails of prey.
A bloody hunting ground.
Dense, crawling little spiders everywhere.
A damp, dark cave.
"The location of the lair, found it!"
Dylan suddenly opened his eyes and released the Imperius Curse at the same time.
At this moment, he felt as if he had become an Acromantula, already thoroughly familiar with how to find the giant spider's lair. "Maybe I should have directly activated the refinement task for the Imperius Curse as well."
Looking at the Acromantula on the ground, twitching occasionally as if it was about to kick the bucket, Dylan hesitated for a moment and didn't rush to activate the refinement task for the Unforgivable Curses.
Instead, he took out a special potion bottle and walked up to the Acromantula.
After hesitating for a moment, he was still a little worried that the Acromantula would suddenly jump up and bite him, so...
"Imperio!"
He once again seized the Acromantula's soul, putting it in a completely unresisting, stiff state.
For safety, Dylan even directly extracted its soul and threw it aside.
He then bent down and carefully began collecting the giant spider's venom.
This guy's venom was quite potent, and its fangs were also very large.
Dylan collected for quite a while before he completely gathered it.
Afterward, he took out a pair of special tweezers from his inventory and went around to the giant spider's head.
"It looks so ferocious, but its eyeballs are quite pretty."
Looking at those eight oily green eyes, now unblinking, like gems arranged on both sides of its head,
Dylan, after all, was doing the work of dissecting a giant spider for the first time, so he took a deep breath.
Controlling the force and angle of the tweezers, he precisely clamped onto one of the eyeballs, wiggled it left and right, and with a gentle force, directly pulled the eyeball out of the giant spider's body.
He placed it in a special small wooden box he had prepared in advance, which could provide a certain degree of preservation to ensure the eyeball's activity and integrity.
In this way, Dylan removed the giant spider's eyeballs one by one, and then took out a pair of large magic scissors.
These were scissors he had bought in Diagon Alley, very sharp, capable of cutting even magical steel—and very large.
Dylan had to use both hands to hold them steady.
He came to the underside of the giant spider's abdomen, aimed the scissors, and suddenly slashed down.
"Thwack!"
A piercing sound rang out. Dylan cut open the giant spider's abdomen and began picking through the internal organs and spider silk.
"There's so little spider silk. Next time, I should torture it a bit more with Crucio, maybe it will spit out more silk."
Dylan collected most of the materials from the Acromantula's body and looked at its tattered remains, then at the giant spider's soul floating beside it.
"Uh, is it really appropriate to send you back now?"
The Acromantula floated in mid-air, its eyes vacant.
"Wait, it's already so late."
Dylan glanced at the time and found that it was already past three, almost four o'clock.
"No, no, I have to hurry back and get a little more sleep."
Looking back at the giant spider, he pointed his wand.
The giant spider's soul instantly drilled back into its body.
The already tattered body trembled.
Dylan quickly said, "Wait, don't die yet! Eat my Avada Kedavra before you die!"
He moved his wand again. "Avada Kedavra!"
—x10!
"Avada Kedavra!"
—x10!
"..."
"Avada Kedavra!"
Dylan cast the final Avada Kedavra at the already dead Acromantula, looking at the system panel with some anticipation.
Although the giant spider had completely died when it received his first Killing Curse, the refinement task didn't say he couldn't cast forty-three Avada Kedavras at a dead creature killed by the Killing Curse!
