HP: Embrace the Darkness

"Do you really think that my resurrection requires magic potion?"

"Open your eyes and take a closer look. Is the magic circle that Mr. Carter secretly modified and destroyed really destroyed?"

Voldemort looked at Asseth and Carter with a proud and mocking look on his face, with a contemptuous tone.

Hearing this, Carter panicked and turned to look at the magic circle.

Sure enough, the magic circle was no different from before. It was always glowing faintly, and the light flowed on the magic circle from time to time.

Unlike the destruction they expected, it was still running safely.

"Hahahahaha, I, the great Dark Lord, will be resurrected soon.

"I really want to thank you for your help."

"Without you, I really might not be able to find all the materials."

Voldemort smiled proudly and looked at the two of them mockingly, and then slowly floated into the magic circle under their gaze.

The light of the magic circle began to erupt the moment he floated in, and the originally soft light became dazzling.

Carter looked at Voldemort in despair. It turned out that their plan that they thought was perfect turned out to be so stupid in Voldemort's eyes.

The memory returns to the hallway that day.

Artes's last words that day were Carter's request to betray Voldemort at a critical moment.

And if possible, convey Voldemort's plan to Asseth in advance.

So later, after Carter knew what Voldemort was thinking, he privately found an opportunity to tell Asseth that Voldemort would be resurrected using magic circles and potions.

Next, Carter quietly tampered with the potion according to Artes's arrangement.

At the same time, the two also decided that Aces would attract Voldemort's attention, and Carter would use that time to secretly sabotage the plan of the huge magic circle.

This is the complete plan.

Unfortunately they failed, and the price of failure was death.

Carter smiled miserably, and the light of the magic circle became brighter and brighter, filling the Room of Requirement with dazzling white light.

Under the dazzling white light, Carter couldn't help but close his eyes.

At this time, Voldemort, who was immersed in the joy of being resurrected in the magic circle, felt something was wrong.

Not only was this magic circle not resurrecting him, it was also sucking away his energy!

The Horcrux is his carrier. If the carrier is destroyed, he will be killed, and if his energy is drained, he will die.

Voldemort's soul wanted to leave the magic circle in fear, but found that he could not move. He was bound by the magic words of the magic circle.

who is it! Voldemort looked up angrily.

At this time, Asseth, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed, and the laughter sounded extremely harsh in Voldemort's ears.

The white light faded, and Carter and Voldemort discovered that Artes had arrived at the center of the magic circle at some point.

At this time, he was standing next to Voldemort and looking at him with a smile.

Aces's face was pale, almost transparent, and his shaky appearance made Carter frightened. He took a few steps forward to help him, but found that he could not enter the magic circle.

Aces shook his head at Carter and said flatly, "Carter, stay back."

Voldemort's soul glared at Artes angrily, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes. If looks could kill, Artes might have been riddled with holes.

Asseth elegantly raised his hand to straighten his clothes, then looked at Voldemort leisurely, the corners of his mouth raised, and his tone was polite and gentle.

"Mr. Tom, I wish you a safe journey."

As soon as he finished speaking, Asseth pulled out his wand and chanted a spell in a low voice. The spell was obscure and the tone was weird, but the effect was obvious.

Voldemort's figure was seen getting fainter and fainter. He roared unwillingly and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

As the last word of the spell was uttered, Voldemort dissipated into the air with anger and unwillingness.

Carter looked at everything that happened in stunned silence. He didn't understand how things developed like this.

Voldemort is dead? so easy? He froze in place.

After the spell ended, Asseth's face became even paler, and he could hardly even stand.

He took a few steps back, leaned against the wall weakly, took two rough breaths, and after a while, he reluctantly took out a bottle of magic potion from his arms and drank it directly.

His magic power was consumed too much, and there was very little left.

The feeling of being drained of all his magic power was really uncomfortable, so Asseth simply sat down against the wall.

The potion worked very well, and after a while, the magic power in his body recovered a little.

However, his face was still pale, and the overdraft of magic power had done great harm to him.

Aces looked up at the stunned Carter with an unclear expression, and said teasingly.

"You haven't reacted yet?"

"Don't even come here and give me a hand. I saved your life anyway."

Aces looked at Carter a little funny.

Awakened by Artes' joke, Carter came back to his senses and hurriedly approached Artes, wanting to give him a hand.

At an angle that Carter couldn't see, Asseth quietly clenched the wand in his hand with his hands behind his back.

"Asais, are you okay?" Carter asked worriedly, reaching out to help Asais up.

Asseth's expression remained normal, but when Carter's hand was about to touch him, he turned his head slightly to avoid it.

Carter smiled and looked at Asseth in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Aces raised his head slightly, the smile still on his lips, but his eyes were full of scrutiny.

"Voldemort is gone, how long will you continue to pretend?"

A slight look of surprise flashed in Carter's eyes, but there was a look of confusion and smile on his face.

"What's wrong? Asseth, why am I pretending?"

"Did you make a mistake?"

Aces sneered and leaned against the wall to watch Carter's performance.

Seeing that Artes was unmoved, the smile on Carter's face gradually disappeared, and his expression gradually became serious.

"When did you find out?"

"I never believed you."

In other words, he realized there was something wrong with him from the beginning?

Carter was silent. Is his acting skills that bad?

"I underestimated you. You are truly worthy of being Cavendish's heir."

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Okay." Asses did not refuse generously.

"How did you find out? I think my performance is blameless."
