Chapter 493: Finishing Slytherin's legacy

This is not to say Nick wouldn't grow stupidly powerful through the ritual but that his skill and knowledge would be massively out of sync with it which would hold him back for likely even longer than if he studied and matured normally. The final drawback however was the one that had Nick classify the ritual as an absolute final resort type deal. To put it simply this ritual corrupts the soul due to how against nature it is which was a huge problem for Nick. He used his soul for nearly every facet of the Celebrimbor style and even required soul purity to use Ballad enchantments to their fullest potential.-

With this understood Nick would never utilize this ritual unless he felt like the power boost was his only course of action. He was well aware that his natural maturation alone would likely place him at tier five or maybe even six due to the extreme rate of growth it had so he wasn't too worried about becoming powerful as in time it was practically guaranteed. What he wanted was to reach his full potential however so despite having great power as a future guarantee he sought ways to truly squeeze out every ounce of bonus growth he could before he matured and his magical growth slowed to a snails pace.-

The first half of Slytherins library was written about his formative years and early adulthood so lacked any grand feats of magic or powerful spell work. Nick could easily see the transition as he memorized the contents of the library from simple to complex magical knowledge. Entire tomes on metaphysical phenomena and medical magics that would make any modern mediwitch faint in shock. Salazar was thorough in every single detail of his life as far as Nick could see from his reading until one historically important event , Meeting Godrick Gryffindor.-

"If you are here then how will the trap be sprung?" Nick asked with a frown. "Nico has graciously volunteered to stay at the edge of the formation to complete it and fuel it once the creature enters the center of it. Here is the hagstone box you asked for by the way." the old man said seriously as he brought of a small grey jewelry box from his robes inner pocket.

It is with heavy heart that I must make an announcement that may not sit well with many of you. As the cost of living has recently gone up for me due to a string of unfortunate incidents I can no longer give away so many chapters for free. From now on my free posts will be limited to twice a week while my patrons will be continuing to received two chapters roughly everyday. Once again I am sorry that this has been made necessary.
