The Next Merlin? - 70

╔=======================╗

『Lord Black published a book about new charms?』 by Rita Skeeter.

Please check page 2 for more details.

╚=======================╝

"It's pretty nice of you to share some of the charms you have created Asura" Shikamaru said as he lay on the couch.

One thing Shikamaru knew about his best friend is he is greedy.

"Well, I need to make a name somehow. I was thinking about writing a potion book and cure on Lycanthropy, but I thought It's too much for Wizarding world, but I will publish it later" Asura said while drinking wine.

Asura planned to release some books about magic slowly and gain fame.

"Troublesome… So when are you planning on asking Dumbledore that you want to teach at Hogwarts?" Shikamaru asked.

Asura knew everything happens around Hogwarts and Harry Potter, so he planned to work at Hogwarts as a potion or Defense Against Dark Arts professor.

"I will wait a year and apply. My resume will be stronger by that time." Asura replied.

Shikamaru nodded and said "How's it going with the Greengrass family?"

"Well, everything is coming along. We have gained a trustworthy ally, and Astoria is getting better." Asura replied.

Shikamaru closed his eyes and said "I was excited to meet the new world, but now I kind of miss Shinobi World. Everything was lively there, and here it's just… boring."

Asura was surprised to hear Shikamaru say that he was getting bored.

"It's interesting hearing you say that. All you like to do is lie around and do nothing." Asura replied.

Shikamaru glanced at Asura and said "What a drag."

Asura then tossed him a Gold Coin. Shikamaru can't do any magic since he doesn't have the gene.

"So is this it?" Shikamaru replied.

Asura nodded and said "Yes, I tested, and it's safe. But, of course, I expect your body to change like mine… but don't worry, the changes will take shape according to your subconscious mind."

Shikamaru stood upright and broke the gold coin, which caused invisible energy to travel to his body.

Shikamaru suddenly felt a massive pain in his body, and the pain suddenly faded when he heard Asura's voice.

"Don't worry. I got you" Asura replied as he used his chakra to calm his pain down.

Unlike Asura, who has {Gamer Mind} to make him not go insane from pain, Shikamaru doesn't have anything. His DNA was changing and causing his entire body to experience extreme pain.

Shikamaru then fell unconscious.

…

"So, how was it?" Asura asked, seeing Shikamaru wake up. Asura also felt that Shikamaru isn't a normal Shinobi anymore.

Shikamaru, who had just woken from a dream where he had travelled to a dark realm, felt that his body had changed.

"Lie down. I am going to see what changed in your body" Asura said.

Asura started to check Shikamaru's body.

"Shika, your body changed. I can sense a tiny part of something I sensed from a being… she must have either made you her champion or somehow you manifested it by yourself" Asura replied.

Shikamaru closed his eyes and tried to sense the Dark Realm that appeared in his dream. Suddenly, he disappeared, leaving Asura surprised.

"What did you do? You disappeared, and I couldn't even sense you. You turned into like black smoke when you disappeared." Asura asked, seeing Shikamaru back.

Shikamaru suddenly received information about his powers, looking at Asura. He said, "I can somehow revive the dead… or at least bind a soul to their shadows and revive them… I have access to a dimension called Shadow Realm, where I can keep souls and sense every shadow near me."

Asura nodded and said "Is there a limit to how many you can summon?"

Shikamaru nodded his head and said "I can revive people by the amount of dimensional energy I have, which is different from magic/mana. My body can only take a certain amount of dimensions energy, and the more powerful I get, the bigger the quantity will increase"

Asura smiled, seeing that his friend got powerful, and said "I will leave you to it then. Let me know if you need anything. And don't forget, we are going to a Wizarding game called Quidditch this weekend."

…

When Asura left, his smile disappeared. He turned serious and thought 'Did Mara search his soul?'

Asura is very worried that Death/Mara might find out about his lovers since Mara is very obsessed with Asura and might kill everyone he shares love with.

'No, I didn't sense any blessing or power except a power similar to Death.' Asura thought.

Calming down his worries, he soon arrived at his office, unexpectedly seeing a red-haired woman waiting for him.

"Do you need something, Ela?" Asura questioned the red-haired woman standing in front of his desk, waiting.

"Mr Asura, I-I made something… to help." Ela handed a notebook to Asura.

『Control Lycanthropy』

Asura read the title on the first page.

"Take a seat, Ela" Asura said, pointing at the chair as he sat down on his office chair.

Asura started reading. The more he read, the more surprised he got.

"Did you write this thesis?" Asura asked.

What he has read is a basic prototype to keep the Lycanthropy curse dormant and able to control their bodies on Full Moon.

Ela shyly nodded her head. She saw that Asura was working on a cure for Lycanthropy, so she decided to help him. But unfortunately, because her knowledge is only based on the book she read, she could only develop an inhibitor for the curse.

Asura is happy now. While it was only a prototype, and he had already found a cure, he wanted the Wizarding World to owe him more, so he now changed his plan. Rework Ela's thesis and make an inhibitor or way to make the curse dormant for some time, make a potion, and so werewolves buy them continuously.

"Come here Ela" Asura ordered her in a gentle voice.

Ela came in front of him, and Asura pulled her into his lap and combed her hair slowly.

Leaning down, kissing her cheek, he asked "Tell me what you want, and I will reward you."

"I Do-" Ela was about to say she doesn't want anything since she wrote this to prove herself, but Asura shushed her by placing a finger on her lips.

"I know… but I like to reward you." Asura said as he kissed her on the lip.

At first, Ela was surprised, but slowly but surely, she started responding back.

While Asura kidnapped her, she was treated like a princess if you ignored Bella. She has been enjoying her life with Asura and the wizarding world.

"I will give you a choice… I will make a Draculine, which means a half-human and half-vampire. So you can gain magic and strong abilities. The other option is just choosing to be a human, and I will give you magic… If you choose to be a Draculine, our souls will be connected, and you will drink blood like me and gain powers weaker than mine." Asura said.

Ela's face turned serious and a little cute. Asura slowly caressed her cheeks and used his thumb to play with her juicy lips.

"Can you give me time?" Ela asked.

Asura was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. He knows that giving up humanity is a big deal for ordinary people, unlike him, who gave it up without a thought for power.

Ela, seeing the disappointment in his eyes, felt an unknown pain in her chest. Then, deciding to make a bold move, she leaned over and captured Asura's kissable lips.

Asura smiled, seeing her attempt to make him happy. He turned her around and placed his arm around her waist, deepening the kiss.

"*Moan*" she moaned suddenly when she felt a hard thing poking right at her honey cave.

Ela wasn't stupid; she worked in a modelling career and met many unique people in that field. She is also an avid vampire romance reader after coming here.

Asura's well-defined jaw, unique dangerous golden eyes that always shine, those hard muscles peeking underneath the clothes, and long shiny red hair, add to his vampire charm. Asura is every woman's dream, and Ela wasn't an exception.

Reluctantly pulling from her juicy lips, Asura said "Let me know when you decide… and remember, Ela. You aren't getting away from me."

Hearing Asura's possessive tone, Ela turned crimson red, matching her red hair. With her emerald eyes shining with unknown excitement, she replied "Okay, Mr Asura".

"Call me Asura… and that's an order." Asura corrected her.

"Okay, A-Asura." Ela replied shyly while her lips had an uncontrollable beautiful smile.

"I will revise and publish the book when you make your decision… I will join you at night" Asura said, gently pushing her off his lap.

Ela nodded while her dirty mind started to take that meaning in a different way.

Seeing Ela leave, Asura opened her book and started changing and correcting her thesis.

There were many errors and mistakes, but he didn't want to point them out, seeing Ela's adorable face, which reminded him of Hinata's adorable face.

Felling sadness in his heart, he thought 'I will meet them soon… soon.'

…

"What am I watching, Asura?" Questioned Shikamaru, who attempted to watch quidditch with Asura.

Quidditch is a popular wizarding game played on broomsticks, wizards use to fly.

The objective of the game was to score more points than your opponents. Each goal was worth ten points, and catching the Golden Snitch was worth one-hundred and fifty points.

The game ends when the Snitch is caught, or an agreement is reached between the captains of both teams. Some games could go on for many days if the Snitch was not caught.

According to the record about quidditch, Asura heard that there was a match which went up to 6 months, and still, the snitch was not caught.

The Golden Snitch is the most important ball of the lot. It's very hard to catch because it's so fast and challenging to see. It's the Seeker's job to catch it.

You've got to weave in and out of the Chasers, Beaters, Bludgers, and Quaffle to get it before the other team's Seeker, because whichever Seeker catches the Snitch wins his team an extra hundred and fifty points, so they nearly always win.

That's why Seekers get fouled so much. A game of Quidditch only ends when the Snitch is caught, so it can go on for ages.

After hearing Asura's explanation, Shikamaru nodded and said "It looks pretty dangerous for a game even kids play… I am comparing kids in this world."

In Shinobi World, many Kids younger than this age have already killed a person or can breathe fire, which can burn down a forest.

"Asura… are you going to deal with those people who are trying to be sneaky while releasing killing intent?" Shikamaru questioned Asura's thought processes. Through his time with Asura, he could never read his mind.

"It's time to show what I can do to the wizarding world… Malfoy seemed to be daring to hire death eaters to deal with me." Asura replied.

Asura already sensed them when they came to the stadium, and he already captured one and found out the information he needed.

Lucius Malfoy called his pals' Death Eaters to deal with me so he could get the Black seat back in the Wizengamot.

"Swoosh…*BOOM*."

There were sounds of firing spells. A green skull with a snake wrapping around it appeared in the sky.

…

[IMAGE: DARK MARK]

…

Chaos started happening around Asura and Shikamaru.

"Let me deal with it" Asura said as he took up summoning his trusty wand.

"{Fiendfyre}" Asura produced enchanted flames shaping into a mix of a Lion and Nundu with wings.

Nundu is considered as the world's most dangerous magical beast in the Wizarding world.

"ROAR!" The flames, which were shaped into a Nundu, roared.

Casting a {Patronus Charm}, Asura announced "Wizard and Witches, stay calm. I give you my word as Lord Black that no one will be harmed."

Asura casts a barrier around him, trapping Death Eaters while the wizards and witches can freely move and escape.

Moving his wand around, the fiery Nundu devoured all the Death Eaters, leaving only ash.

Amelia Bones, who arrived at the scene, was gobsmacked and blurred out "Morgana's saggy tits!"

『The Next Merlin?』

╚===========================╝

The next day there were many articles posted on Asura. Many showed him as the next Merlin, while some showed him as the next Dark Lord, though they were only a few.

While all the wizarding world was talking about Asura, he was playing with Nirn, his pet dragon.

"I still can't believe he tried to burn me" Complained Bella, who was watching Nirn purring in Asura's embrace.

Ela, who was also there, tried to contain her chuckle. Bella, seeing Ela, turned furious, being laughed at by a 'lowly' muggle, but controlled herself as Asura wouldn't like it.

Asura closed his eyes and leaned back to see what new things he got.

'Status'

///================>>>>

『Vampiric Blood』: You have now turned into the second stage of a vampire.

New abilities:

Can gain power from monster blood.

Can make a Draculine, which is also soul binding.

Necromancy: Use the dead to serve by turning them into the undead.

『Draculine』: Feed your blood to any being and make them your offspring by turning them into a vampire hybrid. Their soul will be binding, causing them to share one of your abilities. {*&(&$*^ Blessing} will also be shared.

While they can drink blood from anywhere, Draculine can only be satisfied by their master's blood.

⇝ You can now drink any being blood to increase your vampiric stage and power. The stronger the blood, the more powerful you will become, while also furthering your vampiric stage.

⇝ Your craving has calmed down. You will only be weakened without hibernating if you don't feed enough blood.--- 『Adaptation』

///================>>>>

Asura now found a way to hide his family from other entities by making them his Draculine, which is only reserved for his lovers.

He will find another way for Shikamaru, and he doesn't care about others, since Shikamaru is his only best friend and trustworthy subordinate.

"Shika, how's your current mission?" Asura asked.

Shikamaru suddenly appeared from his shadow and replied "I am trying to find the address for Nurmengard Prison. I recently discovered that new aurora guards are going to a special prison. I already placed a shadow on Amelia Bones, so the shadow will follow and find the location."
