mystery lover

damn it--

The moment Oster turned around, he cast a spell on the wizard behind him, and then the boy ran to the other side, but it was almost inevitable that he would be caught up.

Escaping in the snow was not as easy as in the family castle. Without any assistance, the young man obviously couldn't fight against several adult dark wizards with strong magic power.

Gradually, Oster felt strenuous, and in fact, the Death Eaters chasing him were also very annoyed at the moment.Not only to avoid the unexpected black magic of this kid, but also to capture it back alive for the master.Not being able to use jinxes or even hurting the boy, such a death order left the Death Eaters with limited means to carry it out.

After another twist and turn, Oster was exhausted, but the boy still didn't stop moving his feet. His body seemed to have been separated from his senses. The pressure of fighting with death and his desire to survive broke through all his instincts.

not right...

very wrong...

Oster gradually became aware of the inexplicable changes around him.

The boy was shocked to find that everything around him seemed to be slowing down.

wrong--

He could still hear his rapid heartbeat, his tired footsteps that did not dare to slow down, and the spells cast.

There is no gap for breathing at all in action.

The reason for this strange phenomenon can only be something whose speed has surpassed time.

At this moment, Oster could even watch his every step, his unique spell casting mode, and the Death Eaters following him as if watching a slow-motion movie.

My spirit is faster than the flow of time?Such a strange idea suddenly popped up in Oster's mind.In fact, the boy had plenty of time to think about such questions at this time, and he could even find out the loopholes of those dark wizards in the gaps of thinking.

At this moment, it seemed not difficult for Osted to fight back against those wizards who were only focusing on catching themselves and hardly made any defenses.

By the time the boy thought of this, his body had already reacted accordingly.

Oster looked at the few Death Eaters who had been knocked down by the spell, and didn't have time to be horrified that the matter was so simple, so when he sensed that other wizards were approaching, he didn't stop and continued his escape.

The boy never noticed, and had no time to discover, that the Philosopher's Stone, which he carried close to his chest, was emitting a deep sapphire blue halo from unknown when.

And in Oster's mind, there seems to be only one thought left, and that is——

Get out, get out of here!

at last.

Before the terrifying pressure descended, the boy's figure disappeared in the flow of time.

"Did you run away?"

Whispering voices as if asking and answering themselves.But it made the Death Eaters around Voldemort tense their nerves that were especially fragile due to fear.However, without the expected punishment, the Master Apparated in front of them after triggering the Dark Mark on the hand of a servant beside him.

Although it was a false alarm, it did not make these Death Eaters feel relaxed. The summoning order from the Dark Mark clearly reminded these people who were taking chances that this was just the beginning of everything.

*****

At the moment when Castell Manor was completely breached and Dave Castell died, in the Malfoy Manor in southern England, the middle-aged wizard had already received the news immediately, and Abu Laxus was sure that this news would soon spread throughout the entire British wizarding world.

The disappearance of an ancient aristocrat, even though there is no evidence that Death Eaters were responsible, has deterred some diehards.

Abraxas held the snake stick in his hand with some hesitation. In fact, the blond man had already noticed that the recent actions of the Death Eaters seemed to be getting more and more radical.However, when there was a burning sensation from the Dark Mark on his arm, the wizard, like every time in the past, calmed down his emotions and got up calmly to go to the manor belonging to the Dark Lord.

Abraxas was a little surprised when the Lord asked him to come forward to collect the remains of the old wizard called Dave during the Death Eaters meeting.But it was only a moment before Patriarch Malfoy returned to his usual indifference.

Never try to speculate on Voldemort's thoughts, in front of this powerful master, all he needs to do is obey.Just like when he learned of the abnormal behavior of the Lord in the Castell Manor, Abraxas quickly accepted and started to deal with the tasks in his hands.

It wasn't until the platinum nobleman saw the portrait in the manor that the wizard, who had always been calm, finally showed a blank expression.

"...Arnold." Abraxas turned around stiffly and called to the wizard on the other side.

"What's up! Malfoy."

The wizard who was stopped was obviously dissatisfied with his job at the moment. You must know that this kind of finishing work is really strange. When did the Death Eaters be so kind as to collect and bury their opponent's corpse?

"How did the Lord deal with the heir of Castei?" Abraxas only heard that the Lord ordered someone to arrest the boy, and Abu obviously didn't care about these follow-ups. After all, this time the operation is over. You know, this kind of thing has never been under Malfoy's responsibility.

"Ah? Who cares about him?"

"What do you mean?"

"The kid got lucky and ran away. Then the Lord didn't seem to bother with such a brat."

"Released?" Abraxas' voice was extremely uncertain.At this time, the man remembered the report about the malicious attack on the Castei family in the Daily Prophet a few days ago, as well as the boy whose whereabouts were still unknown.

What did Abraxas think at that time?Oh, that poor heir should have disappeared from this world forever.

"Well. Who knows what's going on. Why do you suddenly care about this?" Arnold frowned and urged, "Don't waste time, Malfoy. The Lord is still waiting for our report."

"Oh."

How could it be... that's it.

Abraxas was a little lost in thought.

Indeed, there was no follow-up. After Oster escaped, Voldemort, who returned to his manor, went straight to a secret room in the manor.

When the black diary, which had been dusty for a long time, was taken out by his master again, Voldemort seemed to be able to feel that strange power. This was the first Horcrux he made, and also the first Horcrux he split. piece of soul.

That belonged to the soul of a boy Tom Riddle.

And all of that seems to be stored in this diary from his student days, in which there is a past that the current Dark Lord cannot understand.

However, on the back of the diary, the name Tom Marvolo Riddle also deeply disgusted Voldemort.

The horcrux was connected after the main soul approached, but the emotion in the red eyes became colder and colder.

Putting the diary back where it should be, Voldemort turned and left the secret room.

Should not be affected by these weak emotions, if it is not thorough enough, make another Horcrux.

In addition to the diary at the age of 16, Voldemort had already successfully crafted three other Horcruxes, Ravenclaw's Diadem, Hufflepuff's Cup and Slytherin's Locket.

These items, which were used to ensure that his path to immortality would not be affected, had been stored by the Dark Lord in a place he thought safe.

Maybe it's time to consider making a fifth Horcrux.

Isn't the ring of the Gunter family a good choice...

As for the boy, it doesn't hurt to let him go.

It was nothing more than a resemblance, and Voldemort no longer needed these fragile feelings.

1971 years.

With the disappearance of a family of alchemists, all the forces of Slytherin joined the Dark Lord's camp.

Since then, the Death Eaters' increasingly overt violence, which included giants, orcs, and certain magical creatures, began using the Unforgivable Curse directly on their opponents, and produced some of the most brutal Muggle massacres .

Inundated with reports of death and disappearance everywhere, the wizarding world began to be tormented by an atmosphere of terror.

The era of Voldemort's reign marked by destruction has thus begun.
