Chapter 167 Three Heroes Battle the Wicked Woman
A sense of foreboding washed over him. The armor he had hastily erected to protect himself shattered and vanished in an instant, as if struck by an invisible hammer, unable to even provide a moment's protection.
Alecto watched as Harry seemed to be wielding something invisible, and several iron-like objects slammed into her chest.
The next moment, the female Death Eater was sent flying backward, and half of her chest cavity seemed to have collapsed.
"Is it that weak?" Hermione thought to herself as she watched from a distance.
"Perhaps I overestimated the Death Eaters' strength?"
The adventure in the Borderlands was not without its value. After Harry found himself in an unfamiliar place with the Portkey, he secretly used the Invisible Blade to hide his wand while lying on the ground.
He was prepared to use underhanded tactics from the very beginning.
Although she was prepared but caught off guard, Alecto was too careless when facing children. She had never seen the magic of the hidden wand before and had no experience in dealing with it. However, Harry's sneak attack was still too obvious, and she even had to shout it out in a childish way.
If it were Hermione, he would be kicked away the moment he swung the chain.
However, Alector's first instinct was to use the Ironclad Charm to take the hit head-on, perhaps due to overconfidence in his own strength.
It's simply because they lack combat experience.
When faced with an attack method you've never seen before, your first reaction is naturally to create distance!
Moreover, the strength of her Ironclad Curse was far too weak. Even if it was cast hastily, it shouldn't be this fragile. It would probably take only a few shots from a Muggle's pneumatic rifle to penetrate it.
Hermes felt the man at her feet move a few times, but she didn't care. Even a vicious Death Eater would find it hard to remain indifferent to seeing his sister beaten like this.
Alecto fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. She lay on her back, half of her chest cavity collapsed, and it was clear she was going to die.
Harry's continuous training in magical weapons, combined with heavy weapons like steel chains, made them incredibly lethal.
However, he did not let his guard down. Ron and Neville quickly came to his side, and the three of them formed a small team, adopting the formation they often used when adventuring in the borderlands.
"Don't let your guard down, he might not be dead yet!" Harry continued to maintain his invisible blade and magical weapon, focusing intently on Alecto.
He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Eliminate your weapon."
"They'll all turn to petrification."
The three of them simultaneously cast a spell to completely eliminate any potential threat from the Death Eaters before them.
But as expected, Alecto didn't die so easily. Before the curse struck, she turned into black smoke and disappeared, distancing herself from the three children.
However, she wasn't in good condition either. A normal person would almost certainly die after being hit by Harry like that, and even a wizard would probably lose all fighting ability.
But this Death Eater seemed different. A faint, deep green light circulated within her collapsed chest cavity, supporting her normal movements. Even with such injuries, which would make it impossible for a normal person to stand upright, she seemed largely unaffected.
"Just like when the Basilisk was seriously injured," Hermione said softly.
The basilisk she shot during the summer vacation also had a layer of green light at the wound, allowing the originally severely injured basilisk to attack and move normally. At that time, she thought this was a characteristic of the basilisk after it was modified, but now it seems that even the core Death Eaters can probably do it.
"Heart-piercing!" Alexo gasped for breath, not wanting to waste another word after landing.
A spell, imbued with tormenting intent, shot towards Harry.
But Ron was prepared. He had stacked countless layers of Ironclad Charms and, with the help of a magic shield, deflected her Crucifixion. Unfortunately, he couldn't deflect spells yet, otherwise Alecto would have been in serious trouble.
"Wadi Vasish!"
Neville cast a spell, and a vial shot towards Alecto like a bullet, only to be shattered in mid-air by Alecto's flick of his wand.
However, the spreading medicinal mist immediately enveloped her.
This is a tactic Neville learned from Hermione: mixing hallucinogenic plants like belladonna into the inducing spray. The inducing spray can also accelerate their effects, so even inhaling just a little bit can have severe consequences.
He knew his role in the team: to provide harassment and support, creating opportunities for Harry.
As the main attacker, Harry rushed forward at high speed the moment the medicine bottle exploded. He also cast a levitation charm on himself to reduce his weight, and he was as if walking on the wind, instantly closing the distance with Alecto.
He poured all his energy into the chain, channeling magic to enhance the weapon's power. This caused the invisible blade to almost lose its intense radiance, and the faint, translucent chain, like a fierce meteor, crashed into the mist.
But the feel of this landing was different from before.
A strong gust of wind pierced through the medicinal mist, revealing Alecto inside. Her serrated wand, its tip glowing intensely, formed a sturdy and thick barrier that firmly blocked Harry's chain. Although it was riddled with cracks, there was no doubt that she had successfully defended against it this time.
Broken entrails mixed with black blood continued to spill from her mouth, but that didn't stop her from grinning maliciously as she stared at Harry: "I'll make you suffer a terrible death!"
The next instant, the rubble on the ground transformed into thorny wires that wrapped around Harry.
However, the latter withdrew its strength after the failed attack and jumped away before the iron thorns could entangle it.
Neville, who had caught up, swung his sword sheath heavily, smashing down the thorns that were trying to catch up.
The various curses that followed Alecto were all blocked by the reliable Ron, and the three of them formed a formation again, carefully defending themselves.
The female Death Eater was furious; she had been beaten up like this by three second-year boys!
No longer stingy with magic, all sorts of powerful curses, poisons, and spells are thrown out as if they were free.
Ron desperately expanded his defensive range, trying to block as many attacks as possible for his friends, but he still seemed overwhelmed and struggling to keep up.
Harry and Neville weren't idle either; they practiced the Iron Man Charm for a while, and thus cooperated with Ron in defense.
But Alecto, completely enraged, disregarded his severely injured body and insisted on using his adult magical power to suppress them. They had no good way to deal with him and could only passively defend, unable to spare any room for offense.
"Are all Death Eaters this hard to kill? Is Voldemort this hard too?" Hermione asked Dumbledore, turning to him.
The one who killed her was pierced by the reflected Death Curse Sword, and didn't even have a chance to struggle.
Dumbledore also kept a close eye on the battle on the other side of the cliff: "I rarely fight other Death Eaters myself, but Voldemort is more tenacious than her. Even if she is split in two or thrown into the fire, she can continue to fight."
"Although it can cause injuries, it does not affect his normal movement, as if those injuries do not exist."
But in fact, not all Death Eaters were like that when they attacked Hogwarts last year. Many of them were also very vulnerable. They would feel pain when injured and would die if they were hit by a deadly curse. It is probably only the most elite members who possessed this characteristic.
On the flat wasteland atop the cliff, Alecto, like a terrifying female ghost, with her short, stocky figure, half-collapsed chest, and hunched back, continuously unleashed dark magic in a venomous tone, and approached the trio step by step.
All they could do was defend and retreat little by little.
"Hasn't your magic mist taken effect yet?!" Harry shouted at Neville while fighting off the spell.
"It's probably already in effect, but it's useless!" Neville frowned, using his sword sheath to cleave the incoming spell.
