HP: Embrace the Darkness
Chapter 873 Bella Shows Off Her Power
The huge dragon's body fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. The rain had stopped at that moment, and the dust was not affected by the rain, so it blocked the corpses led by Bella tightly.
In the gray haze, Bella's empty eyes flashed a little, and there was a bit of human excitement in her eyes.
Then Bella roared, and her speed increased instead of slowing down. She pounced on the dragon like a hungry wolf, and the corpse also sped up to keep up with her.
"呲-"
Bella's nails dug deeply into the dragon's body like a knife cutting tofu, tearing off a piece of flesh. Black blood flowed out of the wound, and a cloud of black mist poured into the wound.
The giant dragon howled in pain towards the sky, struggling weakly with its short claws. Its broken tail swept the ground wildly, stirring up smelly blood, but it could never hit Bella.
At this time, the corpse behind Bella took a few steps closer to Bella, obviously having ideas about the dragon, but Bella had the same personality both during her life and after her death - domineering and crazy, such a person would never allow others to touch her prey.
Seeing her prey being coveted, she immediately turned around and roared.
The Inferi stopped one after another, not daring to snatch Bella's spoils, and walked towards the basilisk Ella with staggering steps.
Ella kept her eyes closed, so the dust had no effect on her.
Sensing an inexplicable danger, Ella turned her head away inwardly, let go of the snake's tail and ran away. The thick snake's tail shook rapidly, instantly leaving the corpse behind by a large distance.
Even though it had already left the other creature a long way behind, it was still not at ease. It kept shrinking its size while running, until it became the size of a finger. It flew out from the smoke and dust like lightning, twisting its body to dodge several spells shot at it, and jumped into Draco's arms, rubbing Draco's hand aggrievedly, shaking its head and complaining to him.
Draco's cold gaze swept towards the wizard who cast the spell, and everyone who saw it opened their eyes and put away their wands in embarrassment.
Draco then picked up Ella who was acting coquettishly on him and put her wrist back, pulled down his sleeve to cover it, and quietly diverted everyone's attention: "That dragon seems to be dying."
Everyone looked towards the dragon. At this time, the dust had already settled, and the scene inside was clearly visible. The huge dragon body lay there silently, and it had stopped struggling.
"It seems to be really... dead?" Ron stared at the dragon blankly, muttering in disbelief, "How is it possible? Isn't that a dragon? Is a dragon so easy to defeat?"
Harry heard what he was saying and moved his lips a few times, not knowing how to answer.
Hermione asked palely: "Principal Dumbledore, what is that?"
Dumbledore looked solemn and fearful at Bella. His strength far exceeded that of everyone present, but in his perception, there was no soul in Bella's body, or her soul had been eroded and was no longer a soul.
Professor McGonagall cast a few spells to test them: "Whatever it is, we must stop them first. Now that the dragon is dead, their next target will be us."
"Minerva is right. We have to find a way to stop Bella. Those things have a corrosive effect. It should be a kind of dark magic. I am not good at dark magic. If Sev——"
Professor Flitwick suddenly stopped talking and coughed unnaturally.
"They give me the feeling of Inferi. Perhaps we can start from this point and try to find out their weaknesses little by little."
As he spoke, he cast one spell after another, starting with the head and slowly moving downwards.
For some unknown reason, Voldemort just watched Professor Flitwick's actions and did not let his men stop him.
Professor Flitwick finally destroyed the entire corpse before successfully stopping the wizard from approaching. The Goblin Professor frowned tightly, the spell in his hands could produce effects far exceeding those of ordinary wizards. If even he had such a hard time, then these students would have even more difficulty.
The other students also realized the difficulty of destroying the corpse, and they all looked worried. It would be better for them to fight the Death Eaters directly. At least they would not die so miserably.
"Filius, your idea is right, but it may be a little difficult if we rely on ourselves, and the eroded corpse will be assimilated. The dragon has already started a quarrel." Professor Sprout said worriedly.
Everyone looked over.
Sure enough, the dragon that was lying there dead got up at some point and limped forward, with the same empty and bloodthirsty look in his eyes as Bella's.
Draco stroked the little snake on his wrist with his fingertips, soothing the basilisk Ella. His eyes rolled back and forth, and he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. When he looked closely, it was Cedric.
Didn't Cedric graduate?
Why are you back?
Draco raised an eyebrow, but before he could go over to ask, a more familiar figure appeared beside Cedric.
Aces pulled Cedric to a corner, and asked with confusion and a little worry: "Cedric? Didn't you graduate? Why are you in Hogwarts? Don't you know that you-"
The words stopped abruptly.
Ases realized that his emotions were on the verge of getting out of control in the constant pain, and forced himself to calm down.
"Leave now, Hogwarts is not the place for you."
Cedric had remained silent since he met Athis, and only looked at Athis with extremely complicated eyes.
Seeing that Ases lost control of his worry for a moment, he smiled with relief: "I'm glad that you still want to consider me as a friend, Ases."
Without waiting for Ases to speak, he continued, "I came to Hogwarts originally intending to apply for the position of assistant teacher of alchemy. It was too late, so Professor Snape asked me to stay and rest for a night. I just didn't expect something like this to happen."
Aces was keenly aware of the trust that naturally emanated from Cedric's words, and his eyes flickered slightly: "What do you know?"
"I don't know." Cedric stared at Aces deeply, smiling gently, but with a hint of bitterness on his lips, "But I believe in Professor Snape, and I believe in his lover even more."
"When did you guess that?"
Aces was silent for half a second, but still did not deny it. Based on his understanding of Cedric, if he was not very sure, he would not have said it in front of him.
"Probably because I recalled it over and over again during hypnosis, and I found that in my memory, there was always something wrong with the way you looked at Professor Snape, and I began to have doubts. However, I didn't verify it immediately, so I wasn't completely sure until I met Professor Snape today." Cedric said frankly.
"Your observation skills are still so good. I am indeed his lover, but you still have to leave now. I will have someone take you out."
As Asis spoke, he looked at Draco not far away, hesitating whether to pack them up and send them away together, but according to the original fate, Draco and his family survived.
Cedric followed his gaze to Draco and smiled, "Draco has grown a lot, it's great that he has a brother like you."
"I seem to hear envy in your words?" Arces teased, "I don't mind having a brother named Cedric, even if he is a little older than me."
Cedric frowned in mock distress: "Thank you, but I do mind."
"Well, it seems that I don't have this blessing." Ases laughed, and his smile was more sincere than the one he had deliberately maintained just now.
The somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two was diluted by just a few words.
"I'll have someone send you and Draco out. Keep an eye on Draco for me." Aces still didn't dare to gamble on the authenticity of the fate line. After all, it's easier to die than to survive.
Cedric shook his head. "Hogwarts is my alma mater. I will not abandon it at this time."
"Have you made up your mind?" asked Ases.
Cedric looked at the teachers and students outside, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Yes, I have made my decision and I am ready to die."
Bella was about to break in. At this moment, Ases had no time to persuade her, and he patted Cedric on the shoulder: "Good luck to you."
"Okay." Cedric gave Aces his signature smile as usual, "Aces, are we still friends?"
Aces looked at Cedric deeply and nodded gently: "Yes."
"Friend...then my friend, I wish you good luck." Cedric waved his hand casually and walked out of the shadows.
Athis stood quietly there and watched Cedric leave, then leaned back against the wall, took out a few bottles of potion and drank them, lowering his head and waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect.
Although the blonde woman didn't take action in the end, the injuries from crashing into the tree and having her soul destroyed were still there. Especially now that he was no longer able to heal with the moonlight, his soul felt as if it were being pierced by countless tiny spikes at the same time, causing unbearable pain.
If it weren't for Ases's extraordinary perseverance, it would have been difficult for him to even come back.
Rowena appeared at this time. The usually calm witch looked at Athis's weak and pale face and felt a little reluctant. The thing in her hand seemed to be heavier.
Ases didn't give her a chance to hesitate. He raised his hand to push away her hair, wiped off the cold sweat without making a sound, and looked over slowly: "Royna? It seems you need my help."
"You guessed right." Rowena walked over, her steps unconsciously heavy.
She gently lifted the cloth.
As the fabric fell, a mysterious atmosphere came to my face.
What appeared before Ases was a pure white staff.
The staff is carved with an exquisite moon pattern, and next to it is a lifelike unicorn. The top of the staff is inlaid with a gem shining with silver light, which is shining brightly, like the brightest star in the night sky in this castle filled with darkness.
"The wand is made of unicorn horn and supplemented with moonstone. This should be the most suitable wand for you. The other three founders and I hope you can stop Voldemort from defiled Hogwarts Castle with this filthy garbage."
As soon as Rowena lifted the cloth, Athis couldn't take his eyes off her.
He could feel the resonance of the soul, and as Rowena said, this staff was suitable for him.
"Hogwarts is also my alma mater."
Ases walked to Rowena and took the staff. The warm feeling in his hand made his eyes light up, but unlike the magic wand, he did not feel any restrictions on the staff.
"Feeling different, right?" Rowena smiled knowingly, "You'll know why later. A magic wand is not a good thing."
After saying that, she disappeared.
Ases looked to the other side. The wizards around Draco were holding various submachine guns and cooperating with other students and professors to temporarily stop the approaching Inferi. However, this was not a long-term solution. The Inferi were just manipulated props, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was the black water flowing on the ground.
Even the black water is the one that truly possesses immortality. The Yin corpse merely uses the power of the black water to restore its body.
The black water was surging more and more violently. It didn't take much time for the Inferi to be resurrected. The fire suppression gradually lost its effect. Draco retreated with a submachine gun without bullets, and the students around him stepped forward.
This is not the way to go.
Got to leave the castle.
The castle not only restricted the Inferi, but also restricted them, and even restricted a big killer - Dumbledore.
Draco quickly glanced around and winked at the wizards who were protecting him, asking them to leave the castle first and make way for others.
The wizards who could stay by Draco's side and protect him were all carefully selected elites. After they understood what Draco meant, they left two people to protect Draco, and the rest moved outside in a well-trained manner, clearing a path at the same time.
"Headmaster Dumbledore."
Dumbledore looked back blankly and saw Draco pointing at the gate. He understood instantly and called on the students to leave the castle.
He also knew that the students affected his performance and he couldn't move freely, but he was worried because Voldemort was outside. However, it seemed that Draco might have a way to protect everyone from Voldemort.
As the number of people in the castle decreased, Dumbledore was finally able to relax.
He raised his wand high and without uttering any profound spell, a huge fire broke out suddenly. The powerful flames gradually expanded and as Dumbledore's wand turned, they swept through the interior of the castle like wolves and tigers.
Grindelwald stood aside, waving his wand carelessly. Circles of blue flames emerged from his wand and surrounded him and Dumbledore, providing more flames for Dumbledore and protecting the safety of both of them.
The spells that Dumbledore and Grindelwald are good at have the same direction, and the sum of the two is definitely not a one-plus-one effect. Under their joint control, the raging fire brutally cleared out most of the Inferi. A small number of Inferi merged into the black water, which could not burn and the flames could only temporarily separate them.
After cleaning up the corpses, the two of them shifted their focus tacitly to Bella, the leader.
The intersecting red and blue flames twisted into a fire dragon, rushing towards Bella and enveloping her.
Unfortunately, Bella is more of a shell carrying black water than an Infernal corpse. As long as the black water is not extinguished, she will not die. So no matter how Dumbledore and Grindelwald burn her, she will stand still.
"I hate things that don't burn."
Grindelwald's voice rang out in the flames, and his tone was not good.
Dumbledore gave him a soothing look and said, "First trap her and then think of a solution."
"Listen to you."
Grindelwald directed the flames to form a cage and was about to cover Bella inside, but Bella suddenly disappeared.
Dumbledore realized something was wrong, raised his wand, and Apparated outside the castle.
Sure enough, Bella was called back by Voldemort and was standing quietly beside him.
