Chapter 321 Hunting the Giant Serpent
Voldemort's furious roar shocked everyone. It turned out that Dumbledore had been dead for a long time. All along, the omnipotent and most powerful white wizard was just a ghost.
The turn of events left most of the wizards stunned, but when they saw that the professors were not surprised, but rather had an expression of "oh no, we've been exposed," they knew that this was the deepest secret hidden within Hogwarts.
"He's been dead for a long time? When did that happen?" Snape asked in surprise.
Lily, who was next to him, shrugged: "Just after your last invasion of Hogwarts."
Snape understood everything in a flash: "So, Dumbledore's return to his prime didn't remove the Dark Lord's curse; he simply escaped it through death, and then you used unknown means to turn him into a powerful undead."
Lily rolled her eyes at him: "Don't ask any more questions."
Even if Dumbledore's ghost can no longer be kept secret, Hermione's soul-binding ritual should still not be known to too many people.
Voldemort's insults were like a gentle breeze to Dumbledore. He was not surprised by his exposure, but immediately looked down at the school and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was intact.
But the strange boy holding the core of the pyroxene in the air made him feel a little strange.
Only he, McGonagall, and Hermione had the authority to obtain the core of the Radiant Stone. Who was this boy? He exuded the power of a great wizard, and his features seemed somewhat familiar, but he was certain he had never seen this boy before.
However, he protected Hogwarts and everyone below, which led him to tentatively consider him an ally.
"Another great wizard?" Voldemort's shocked voice rang out.
He had taken a direct hit from an airburst nuclear bomb, and he was prepared for the entire battlefield below to be wiped out, leaving only himself and Dumbledore. But to his surprise, this boy who suddenly appeared blocked the entire power of the nuclear bomb!
"Old man, you've been hiding this well. Besides that disgusting Mudblood girl, you've also been hiding a genius in the school." He considered Hilmi to be Dumbledore's secret successor.
But everyone else looked equally bewildered; even Lily and McGonagall were completely baffled this time.
When did our school acquire such a genius student who, like Hermione, has reached the level of a great wizard at such a young age?
"Do we have this classmate? Could he be Dumbledore's illegitimate son?" Ron asked Malfoy from below, puzzled.
Even Harry, the fiery stag who fought alongside Sirius Black, stared at the sky in disbelief.
However, Hilmi didn't have time to think about these things. He looked up at Dumbledore and said, "Professor, there's too much energy. The core can't hold on much longer!"
Having already absorbed the massive amount of radiation from the shores of the Black Lake, keeping the core of the pyroxene constantly at its maximum capacity, it has now swallowed more than half of a 20,000-ton nuclear bomb. Even a magic stone like this is nearing its limit.
Dumbledore's expression turned serious. If this Brilliant Stone core were to explode, its power would be no less than that of the nuclear bomb from before. Moreover, this thing was related to his own survival. If anything went wrong, he would be forcibly sent back to the realm of the dead.
With a whoosh, Hermione appeared beside Hilmi, spear and staff in hand: "Then let's burn off the excess energy!"
She tossed the silver wand to Hilmi, who, as her half-body, was not averse to using her own wand.
"Voldemort, it's time for us to settle accounts." With a flick of her bone spear, Hermione flew to Dumbledore's side.
Voldemort glanced warily at the basilisk's eyes, which emitted a dim, yellowish light, and sneered, "This thing can kill Bella and the others, but it might not be able to kill me."
"You don't actually think my transformation is that simple, do you?"
But Hermione remained unmoved. With the surge of magic, the airflow emanating from the Great Serpent Spear swirled into a blade of air tens of meters long.
"Then let's give it a try!"
Before Dumbledore could make a move, Hermione took a step forward and appeared behind Voldemort, her bone spear slashing down, the magnificent blade of energy seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth.
Voldemort reacted immediately. Although he spoke toughly, he still didn't want to try to take the hit with his own body, so he turned into a cloud of green smoke and dashed backward.
But Dumbledore was already waiting for him. The swirling flames flickered with a Nirvana-like light, making the invisible flames act like a tangible wall, blocking Voldemort's escape routes in all directions.
Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, he could only reveal his form, shouting as he unleashed a thick, bright green lightning bolt to clash with the energy blade of the giant serpent hunting spear.
With a loud bang, his full-force Death Curse did indeed shatter the tip of the air blade, preventing him from being cut in half in the first round, but his expression was grim.
The remains of the thousand-year-old serpent monster, processed by the fairies, have indeed become the most effective means of restraining him. Even the mere aura emanating from them requires him to fight with all his might.
That invincible death curse, the death power he had carefully brewed, actually required many times its original strength to consume even a fraction of the Great Serpent Spear's power in the fight!
He now regrets using his immortality to modify the basilisk back then; it was no less than handing over his own weaknesses to someone else to analyze and exploit.
Leaving aside the battle between the three great wizards above, Hilmi, who had obtained Hermione's staff, immediately began to consume the excess energy in the Radiant Stone.
"We need to cast a powerful enough spell—"
He originally intended to cast some binding magic to help Dumbledore limit Voldemort's hiding space, but then he changed his mind.
Being ganged up on by two great wizards, this guy's defeat was inevitable. Moreover, the binding magic could not possibly consume so much power in such a short time.
He looked around and then looked up at the clear starry sky.
The radiation cloud was pushed away by the force of the nuclear explosion, allowing the real stars and moon to reappear. The centaurs were now firmly controlled by the starry sky. They stared at the starry sky as if re-examining their fate, and the bloodstains on their faces gradually melted and disappeared.
However, due to the effects of the fairies' winter curse, the dust clouds are slowly gathering again, and it won't be long before the sky is covered up once more.
"Then let's cast a super-large weather spell!" Hilmi made up her mind.
The pyroxene core was placed back on the top of the silver staff, and in an instant, the dazzling blue light almost replaced the starlight and moonlight.
Hilmi was like a divine child from ancient mythology, wielding a gleaming divine staff and issuing commands to the sky.
"From this day forward, Hogwarts will have the sun!"
"Warm light and pure rain will shelter this highland!"
His clear voice proclaimed, transforming the nuclear energy within the core of the pyroxene, originally intended to destroy humanity, into a power that would benefit this land.
An invisible current of wind began to swirl, forming a giant circular field that repelled the radiation cloud and the fairy curse.
A refreshing and soothing breeze swept over everyone on the battlefield below, while a few drops of slightly warm rain fell on each person, as if to take away their pain and bring peace.
