Chapter 74: The Hunt (Part II) (2-in-1 4000 words)
Listening to Voldemort's questioning, Quirrell knelt on the ground with a weak leg.
Voldemort didn't care so much, and while Quirrell was in a trance because of the fright, he directly snatched control of Quirrell's body.
Link and Arkham, who were chasing Quirrell not far away, also stopped.
The original sinister smile on Link's face was gone, replaced by a solemn face.
In Link's supersensory vision, Quirrell's temperament has completely changed.
At this moment, a black smoke is constantly overflowing from his body, this smoke is ominous and weird, and people can't help but think of death!
"Voldemort!"
Link muttered softly, then shook his wand and shot out a white glow.
However, at the moment when the white light appeared, Quirrell, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly got up and raised his wand in an extremely distorted posture.
"Whew!"
A piercing buzz erupted in the air.
The blazing white light flashed away in the dense forest with the constantly falling plasma, and Link's Blade Shadowless Spell up to LV3 was actually sent out by Quirrell directly with his wand.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed on Link's face.
He knew very well that Quirrell was not using the Iron Armor Charm just now, but a more advanced technique, the Spell Reversal.
This advanced technique allows the user to block spells without using a defensive spell, but at the cost of possessing great magical powers and exceptional reflexes.
"Click!
With a crunch of joint grinding, Quirrell stood to his feet.
His brown eyes and whites had been replaced by inky black, and the twisting of his joints and the bleeding wound on his chest made Quirrell's body twitch instinctively.
But at this time, Quirrell didn't care about this, he stared at Link with wide eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened to the sides to reveal a hideous grin:
"Link Foley, we're ...... again"
"Bang!"
Before Voldemort could finish his words, Link interrupted him with a burst of white light in his hand.
This stunned Voldemort for a moment, and a monstrous rage ensued.
"Link Foley!"
Voldemort raised his wand in anger, but Link and Arkham had long since disappeared in place.
Link wasn't stupid, now that Quirrell was seriously injured, it was obvious that he wouldn't be able to last long.
So why did he bother to fight Voldemort again?
Now he only needs to drag Voldemort and let him die of serious injuries.
Voldemort knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to let Quirrell give him control of his body.
So, Voldemort, who had reacted, immediately chased after him again, and at the same time, several red rays erupted from his wand.
Unfortunately, compared to Voldemort's two legs, Link's mobility and movement speed on Arkham were too fast.
Even though Voldemort had spurred all the potential in Quirrell's body to temporarily escape the negative effects of his severely injured state, he still couldn't catch up with Link.
And his spells are just as useless to Link, even if some of those spells can predict Link's moves, they will be blocked by Arkham one by one, and they can't hurt Link at all.
Seeing Link and Arkham disappear into the forest, Voldemort's expression became ugly.
Voldemort was clear and clear that Link didn't go far.
Now he hid in the shadows of the surrounding forest, waiting for the moment when he would collapse from excessive bleeding.
"Hah! what a cunning boy!"
Voldemort grinned.
The current situation is indeed very unfavorable to him, in fact, not only Quirrell's body is failing, but even his own origin power has reached the end of the crossbow, which is why he forced Quirrell to come out to take the blood of the unicorn.
He needs this thing to regain his strength!
But the end of the strong crossbow is the end of the strong crossbow, and there are some things that he can still do if he doesn't care about the cost.
Gritting his teeth, Voldemort suddenly opened his hands and shouted:
"Link Foley, you know what? The beast you're riding on was once upon a time my property......! Do you really think I can't get it back?"
"You know! I'm the heir of Slytherin!!"
"Boom!"
A brilliant green light lit up from Voldemort's body, and this green light pierced the night sky like a giant lightsaber, illuminating the surrounding dense forest, as well as Arkham and Link hiding in the dense forest.
For a split second, Link felt Arkham stiffen beneath him.
This gave Link some bad premonitions.
He hurriedly rolled over and fell off Arkham's body, trying to get away.
It's just a pity that it's too late.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar erupted from Arkham's throat, and then, with a flick of Arkham's tail, Link was thrown out of the way and crashed into a large tree.
"Ahem!"
Link, who slowly slipped off the trunk, coughed up a stream of black blood.
Arkham's tail was just thrown right in his chest, and he knew very well that his hapless rib must have broken this time, and more than one.
"Hisss!~"
Arkham slowly turned to face Link.
Knowing this, Link realized that at this moment, Arkham's eyes had been covered with a faint green light.
Under the reflection of this layer of green light, the agility in Arkham's eyes has completely disappeared, replaced by endless cruelty!
But strangely, Link, who looked at Arkham, did not die directly, nor did he turn into a stone statue.
This meant that the layer of white puff covering Arkham's pupils had not been removed by it.
So does this mean that Arkham has not completely lost his sense of self?
Link's eyes lit up at this point, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile to say something.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, large streams of blood gushed out of his mouth.
"Ahem!"
Link coughed up blood violently, and as he moved, a small piece of pumpkin pie suddenly fell out of his arms.
The pumpkin pie rolled on the ground a few times before finally coming to a stop in front of Arkham.
Arkham's gaze was instinctively drawn to the moving object, and the green light in his eyes suddenly dimmed as he looked at the pumpkin pie.
It recognized the pumpkin pie because Link had fed it it.
Of course, Arkham didn't remember the pumpkin pie because it was so small, Arkham couldn't taste it.
It's because it's said to have been given to Link by a guy named Emily, and Link is so precious to this thing that no matter how coquettish it is, he's only willing to give it half a box to eat, and it's so angry that it can be choked at the time.
Imagining the scenes when he was with Link, Arkham's pupils gradually dilated.
'Link, will you suddenly disappear like my master and that liar, and never come back?'
'No, my family will be rich!' When I graduate, I'll take you out and raise you at home, and then we'll be together every day!'
'Really, that's great! You're my best friend!'
(っ*´Д`)っ
'Don't, don't get excited, I'm going to be strangled to death by you!'
......
Consciousness is slowly returning, and things in front of us are slowly becoming clearer.
It was a strange feeling for Arkham, similar to the feeling of being awakened in the midst of an eternal sleep.
It's just that when he saw the scene in front of him, Arkham was stunned.
Because at this moment, Link was sitting in front of it covered in blood.
"What's going on?Link!Who did that!?"
Arkham roared in the sky, but soon it remembered what had happened.
'This ...... Did I do it? I hurt Link?'
Arkham's eyes wandered, and he couldn't believe the cruel truth.
At this moment, a green light shone on its body again.
"Kill him. ”
Voldemort, who was slowly walking this way, said softly, his voice sounding a little weak, and his face was even more pale, and it seemed that he was almost at the limit.
Only this time the green light did not play its due role, and Arkham did not immediately attack Link after being illuminated by the green light, but curled up into a ball and struggled violently, and the surrounding grass and trees were all broken into pieces under its movements.
"Right...... I'm sorry, Link!"
Arkham said in pain, and Link was about to say something when he heard this, but saw Arkham on the ground suddenly speed up and disappear into the Forbidden Forest.
This sudden turn of events stunned both Voldemort and Link.
The two looked in the direction where Arkham had disappeared for a few moments, and then they reacted and looked at each other again.
"What a lucky boy. ”
Voldemort said with a smile.
As he spoke, he raised his wand and aimed it at Link.
He had indeed reached his limit, and the amount of energy that had been emitted twice in a row had consumed too much energy, and Quirrell's body had already reached the brink of death due to excessive blood loss.
And Link on the other side is in a similar state.
The Psychic Spell and the Occlumency state were gone, and after a long battle and a serious injury, Link was now left with only the magic of the final blow.
Worst of all, he has lost the ability to move.
This means that Voldemort's spell is almost certain to hit.
'Is it just a matter of luck?'
Link shook his head with a wry smile and directly activated the wand containment holster on his right arm.
"Whew!"
With a whistling sound, Link's wand, which had been knocked away, flew back into his hand.
Link raised his wand with difficulty, aiming it at Voldemort as well.
At this moment, all the sounds around him seemed to be quiet.
It was as if all the creatures in the Forbidden Forest were holding their breath, staring intently at the two people facing each other in the clearing.
Suddenly, a breeze blew in the quiet Forbidden Forest, and she slowly lifted a leaf, carried it between the two, and then smiled mischievously at the two, and carefully let go of her hand.
The leaves that had lost their momentum swayed and fell.
It was like a signal, and the moment it landed, the tips of their canes erupted with a dazzling brilliance!
"Avada suo!"
"Shadowless!"
"Buzz!"
Link's vision was instantly engulfed in green light.
But the imaginary pain or dissipation of consciousness did not appear, on the contrary, as time passed, the scene in front of Link slowly became clearer.
Before his eyes, Quirrell's face was already full of astonishment.
At this time, on his chest, there was another deep slash, which happened to form an X with the original one.
There was also an extra pit next to Link, and there was even some green plasma flowing from it.
"Hah, you missed, hahahahaha!"
An irrepressible laugh erupted from Link's mouth, and he laughed so heartily that the black blood gushing out of his mouth from time to time could not be stopped.
At the same time, Quirrell's body was slowly dissipating.
This is Voldemort extracting the only remaining power from his body, and Voldemort is ready to leave here and lie dormant again, but until this moment he looked at Link with surprise in his eyes.
He really didn't understand why his life-requisitioning spell had failed, it wasn't a low-level mistake he would make!
Looking at Voldemort's eyes, Link smiled slyly, slowly pulled out an empty teardrop-shaped glass bottle from his neckline, and kissed it fiercely.
'Is it a magic elixir?'
A flash of realization flashed in Voldemort's eyes.
If that's the case, then everything that happened tonight makes sense.
"We'll see you again!"
Voldemort said with a meaningful look at Link.
With that, Quirrell's body instantly disintegrated, becoming a handful of dust floating in the wind.
"I'll wait for you!"
Link grinned and said with a grin.
As he spoke, he also took out half a bottle of black viscous potion and began to rub it on himself.
It was still the half bottle Link had taken from Snape, which he had intended for Arkham but had ended up using for himself.
At this moment, a black figure in the shape of a human figure appeared in front of him silently.
This startled Link, who instinctively raised his wand, only to see the man come straight out of the shadows.
"Professor Snape?"
Link said in some surprise, but Snape glanced at the embarrassed Link, and then asked:
"Are you done?"
"Hmm. ”
Link instinctively replied, and then he saw a rare smile on Snape's face.
“Good!”
Snape said faintly, raising his wand as he raised his wand.
"Get some sleep, Link. ”
A gray ball of light directly covered Link's body, instantly making him fall asleep.
It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion.
In the moments before losing consciousness, Link seemed to see a golden message flashing by.
