Chapter 772: A Terrible Curse
It didn't take long for Evan to know what Hagrid meant by the horrific death. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
An hour later, he and Sirius returned to the cave.
They didn't see a single living giant along the way, and the lake below the mountain was in shambles, full of giant corpses and wreckage, and things that the giants who had fled in a hurry had not had time to take with them, and the whole lake was dyed red.
That's because of the blood, the blood of too many giants turned the mountain lake into a lake of blood, emitting a pungent smell of blood.
It used to be a gathering place for giants, but now it is the most inhospitable place in the territory, a purgatory on earth.
The battle between the tall horses and Kakus killed most of the giants who lived here, and the ensuing melee took the lake as the main battlefield.
In just three days, too many giants died here.
The originally powerful tribe of giants then split, and all the giants who were still alive fled and moved to the nearby mountains and forests.
Inside the cave, Aven saw the corpse of the tall horse, or what was supposed to be a corpse.
It sat on a throne beneath the statue of the Cyclops, and turned into a black statue that silently appeared.
It still wore a replica of the helmet "Crown of Destiny" on its head, its expression was hideous and a hint of consternation, its arms stretched forward, its neck bruised from pain, and its whole body was covered with a layer of jagged black rocks, like a strangely shaped costume.
Around it, the other giant warriors did the same, remaining in their original appearance and turned into stone sculptures.
Evan looked at them in amazement, more shocking than seeing a bloody picture.
The Giant's magic resistance is so strong that it is immune to almost most low-level spells, but it has now been reduced to a stone statue.
"That's Voldemort's curse, and those trinkets ruthlessly took their lives......" Sirius said.
Evan doesn't know much about the special dark magic of curses, but he can feel the magic in the other person.
Like petrification charms, or the eyes of basilisks, the tall horses and giant warriors are devoid of life.
He wasn't sure if he could bring them back to life, and a few spells and potion recipes came to mind.
"These stupid giants just died, and it made a mess!" Sirius said, skirting the tall pony to the foot of the giant cyclops statue, "Old Herbert told me that after the tall pony became like this, the other giants were scared, and they didn't understand what was going on. It used to be their holy place, but it has become a forbidden area. ”
"I can feel it, the power of the curse ......," Evan pulled out his wand and tapped lightly at the tall horse.
He tried to use an unraveling spell, but the texture of the statue was more fragile than he had imagined.
No sooner had his magic taken effect than a crack appeared on the statue of the tall horse, making a piercing creaking sound.
Evan hastily stopped, frowning as the crack gradually widened, the magic he used had the exact opposite effect.
Apparently, Voldemort anticipated this and guessed that some wizards would use this magic on the statue.
Now, even if the curse is finally lifted, Gao Gaoma's body can only recover into a pile of flesh.
Evan silently, Voldemort is really scary!
Even if Dumbledore came, if he wanted to break the curse, he would have to try one method at a time, and Voldemort didn't intend to give the enemy any chance at all.
No wonder those giants didn't dare to come to this place, it wasn't a force they could understand.
All they saw was that the tall horse and his warriors had offended the Death Eaters, and in an instant they had been turned into stone carvings......
Terrible curses, terrible magic, terrible powers.
Out of fear, the remaining giants did not dare to offend the Death Eaters again.
That's the horror of Voldemort, the most dangerous dark wizard of all time is not as simple as wielding a wand and using a killing charm.
"Alright, Aven, leave these giants alone!" Sirius said, drawing his wand, "It's not a good thing they've become like this, but it's much easier for us to take the scabbard and no one will stop us." ”
He swung his wand vigorously at the scabbard in Cyclops' eyes.
Nothing happened, Sirius frowned at it, and the figure disappeared from place.
He apparitioned into the eyes of the Cyclops statue and gripped the scabbard hard, trying to pull him out.
"How's it going?" Exan shouted, looking at Sirius, who had almost turned into a small black dot above.
"No, I can't pull it out, there is a special magic on the scabbard that blocks my power, it seems to be one with this statue. Sirius said, returning to Aven's side, "It's hard to imagine that this scabbard was stuck in the Gryffindor in the first place. ”
"Well, I'll go up and have a look!" said Aven, who thought for a moment, and also apparitioned directly above the statue.
It's nearly a hundred feet high, and when you look down from this vantage point, everything on the ground is small.
If the statue is the same height as the Cyclops, then this is the perspective from which it can see.
Humans, giants, are insignificant ants in its eyes.
Evan was now standing above the Cyclops' head, with its one-eyed in front of him, a pure giant topaz.
The gemstone is as clear and sparkling as crystal, with a hard texture and no blemishes inside.
This topaz has strong magical properties and has many applications in alchemy.
At the same time, it is also a treasure of extraordinary value.
Evan steadied himself, ready to try to see if he could split the gem.
He aimed his wand at the gem beneath him, casting a powerful attack spell.
There was a flash of silver light, but there was not a trace of the topaz, it was a hard material that Aven had ever seen.
Not far away, in the center of the huge one-eye, the scabbard of the Gryffindor sword was silently inserted.
It was a plain scabbard with a silvery-white exterior forged from the same material as the Gryffindor Sword.
It is engraved with patterns, as well as magic runes that goblins are used to.
The main body of the scabbard was covered with small pieces of ruby, emitting a hazy glow, like the stars in the night sky.
As if sensing Aven's gaze, the ruby on it flashed.
Evan walked over to get a closer look at the scabbard, which seemed to be part of the statue, as Sirius had said.
It is emitting strange magic, the power of Gryffindor.
This force prevented the scabbard from leaving the statue, and it sealed the Cyclops beneath it.
It's hard to pull it out, and if it's that simple, for thousands of years, the giants have long found a way to remove the scabbard instead of staying here to defile the statue of their ancestors, leaving this humanity's greatest shame on them.
