'No wonder Voldemort claimed that his magical attainments were stronger than Dumbledore's!'
'Dumbledore didn't completely deny it either. Instead, he directly admitted that Voldemort's attainments in Dark Magic were indeed stronger than his own.'
'Well, isn't he stronger than Old Dumbledore? He's almost immune to Dark Magic attacks, and the Dark Magic he casts gets a power boost!'
Thinking of this, Light couldn't help but swallow hard. He asked Headmaster Dumbledore, who was sitting across from him looking nonchalant, in a hoarse voice, "What's his weakness?"
Headmaster Dumbledore in front of the desk didn't answer. His right hand kept tapping on the table, as if choosing his words.
"Light, you should know how Voldemort died!" Headmaster Dumbledore stopped tapping after saying this and looked at Light.
"Uh! Still testing me?"
Light, with his mind in a mess, scratched his head and thought to himself. Then he said, "Yeah, he was blown up because the Avada Kedavra rebounded back on him!"
Seeing that Light clearly knew the inside story, Headmaster Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.
"What if I told you that it wasn't the Avada Kedavra that blew Voldemort up, but a protective charm. Would you believe it?"
Looking at Light with a frowning face, Headmaster Dumbledore chuckled for a while and said, "Indeed, a protective charm is a defensive spell. It only bounces off attacks and doesn't cause direct damage!"
"But, you should also know that the Avada Kedavra only directly attacks the soul, and the damage to the body isn't that great. So why was Voldemort blown up to almost nothing?"
Light, who had calmed down, began to think based on the information provided by Headmaster Dumbledore.
"Since the Fiendfyre curse can break through Voldemort's immunity to Dark Magic, it's reasonable to assume that the Avada Kedavra cast simultaneously can achieve the same effect."
"Then the only possibility is that the Dark Magic that attacks the soul directly destroyed his body!"
After thinking for a long time, Light slowly looked up at Headmaster Dumbledore and voiced his speculation:
"Attribute reversal! The protective charm changed the magic that attacks the soul into magic that destroys the body. But that doesn't seem right!"
"Leaving aside Voldemort's resistance to Dark Magic, he also has in - depth [Research] on the Avada Kedavra. It shouldn't be difficult for him to block it."
As he was speaking, Light started to question himself.
Dumbledore didn't say a word. Instead, he looked at Light, who was in the midst of a mental whirlwind and constantly massaging his temples, with a smile in his eyes.
Light, who was in the midst of a mental whirlwind, didn't care about any distractions. Countless clues and knowledge in his mind were put together. A crazy yet reasonable reason came to Light's mind.
"It's not that Voldemort didn't want to block it, but that he couldn't!"
Light slowly put down his hands that were massaging his temples and looked at Headmaster Dumbledore with a shocked expression.
"White Magic!"
"Voldemort's weakness is White Magic! The Dark Magic attribute of the Avada Kedavra was reversed into White Magic. He couldn't resist White Magic, right?"
Looking at Headmaster Dumbledore's satisfied smile and approving nod, Light finally found the answer to his doubts.
"Why are Horcruxes so important to Voldemort, but he doesn't mass - produce them?"
"The side effects are too great. After making seven Horcruxes, Voldemort's resistance to White Magic is completely negative!"
"That's why there was the famous scene where the master of magic was disarmed by the Disarming Charm!
So, White Magic has a critical - hit bonus against Voldemort."
Seeing Headmaster Dumbledore smiling at him cheerfully, Light couldn't help but grumble.
"No wonder Old Dumbledore was so calm! It turns out that as long as you pinpoint Voldemort's weakness, he won't be able to stir up any trouble."
"No wonder Headmaster Dumbledore, an expert in Dark Magic, didn't teach Harry Potter any Dark Magic. It turns out he simply didn't need to."
Light's mind was racing, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why Harry Potter! Just because of the prophecy? You clearly know his fatal weakness."
Hearing Light's question, Headmaster Dumbledore wiped the smile off his face and let out a long sigh, saying with a hint of helplessness:
"Don't think I'm omnipotent! I can't solve the problem of White Magic's low lethality."
"It's not difficult to defeat him with White Magic, but it's very hard to kill him! And Voldemort isn't a fool. He's very vigilant against me and will run away as soon as he senses something's wrong."
After saying that, Headmaster Dumbledore spread his hands, as if explaining the purpose of his actions to Light.
"The prophecy is just part of the reason. More importantly, Harry Potter has an extremely powerful protective charm on him.
This protective charm is enhanced by 'pure love', and it's the key to defeating Voldemort."
Hearing this, Light involuntarily gasped.
"Damn it! So, whoever has the protective charm is the savior, right?"
As if reading Light's mind, Headmaster Dumbledore placed his folded hands on the table. His expression was a bit unpredictable, and he said softly:
"It's indeed rather pragmatic, but there are many things in this world that can't be achieved with just ideals."
"I hope you can give the credit for defeating Quirrell and foiling Voldemort's plot to Harry Potter!"
Under Headmaster Dumbledore's intense stare, Light frowned slightly.
"No problem at all. Do you want to cultivate Harry Potter's love for Hogwarts this way?"
"That's part of the reason! Can you promise me?" Headmaster Dumbledore said somewhat evasively.
"Sure, I don't care about these things!" Light said indifferently.
"By the way, you'll really hand over the Philosopher's Stone to me, right? You won't come up with some excuse to keep it from me, will you?" Seeing Old Dumbledore smiling after he agreed not to compete with Harry Potter for the fame, Light couldn't help but ask warily.
"Of course. Even if you didn't get the approval of the previous owner, I'll give it to you when you graduate." After saying that, Headmaster Dumbledore winked playfully at Light.
Looking at Old Dumbledore who was acting like a child, Light almost couldn't help but ask him to write a written promise.
"Alright! Go back and rest first! It's getting late!" Headmaster Dumbledore glanced at the wall clock and started to usher Light out.
"Damn! As soon as the goal is achieved, he starts to drive me away. How heartless." Light complained in his heart and said goodbye with a smile.
After Light left the office and shut the door, the well - lit room started to grow dim.
"Is this your trump card? How many locations of the Horcruxes has he obtained? Why don't you just force him to talk?" Professor Snape, wearing a black robe and almost blending in with the darkness in the room, suddenly appeared and stared at Headmaster Dumbledore with empty eyes.
"Three, the Philosopher's Stone, the characteristics of the Horcruxes, and Voldemort's weakness!"
He's very good at Occlumency. I only briefly broke through his defenses at these three nodes." Headmaster Dumbledore rubbed his forehead and sighed slightly.
"Severus, Light is my student and yours too! I hope you understand!" Headmaster Dumbledore's voice lost its gentleness and he replied flatly to Professor Snape's inquiry.
"Which three?" Professor Snape didn't care about Headmaster Dumbledore's attitude. He skipped this topic and asked directly about the Horcruxes.
"The Ravenclaw Diadem in the Room of Requirement."
"The Hufflepuff Cup in Bellatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts."
"Voldemort's father Marvolo's house, the Gaunt family ring with a terrible Curses on it!" After revealing the locations of the Horcruxes, Headmaster Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh deeply.
