Chapter 452: The Demon King's Confession
Me, Tom Marvolo Riddle.
The only descendant of Salazar Slytherin, leader of the Death Eaters, initiator of the Second Wizarding War, the Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort, the Mysterio, the Adversary whose name he can't even mention, the Undead, the most dangerous Dark Wizard of all time......
No one in this world can kill me but myself—not even the greatest patron saint of wizarding beings, Albus Dumbledore, who was at my prime.
Ten years ago, though, I foolishly ignored the sacrificial magic that Lily Potter unleashed before she died, and let the death curse bounce back to me. Yes...... It hurt more than anything else, and no one could resist Voldemort's spell, not even himself.
I was stripped of my flesh, leaving only shadows and steam, worse than ghosts, worse than the humblest of ghosts.
But I, the great Dark Lord, am still alive and strong......
Just as my goal is to conquer death, I have gone further on the road to immortality than anyone else.
Yet, though I survived, I was as powerless as the weakest creature, and I had no way to help myself...... I don't have a physical body, and every spell that helps me requires a wand, and it requires the mana of an adult wizard.
I remember the days and nights when I couldn't close my eyes, and I stared straight at each other and forced myself to live repeatedly......
I hid in a distant forest and waited......
My loyal Death Eaters will surely find a way to find me......
Someone will surely come and give me back a physical body with magic that I can't do on my own......
But I waited in vain......
Gradually, I began to wander around on my own initiative, because I still had one mana left—one that I could attach to others. But I didn't dare to go to crowded places, because I knew that the Aurors were still looking for me, and I had to be extra careful.
A full decade has passed, from the forests of the Landes department in France to the Bohemian forests of the Czech Republic, from the Galloway forests of Scotland to the Belovezh forests of Belarus...... I finally waited in the Albanian forest for a young, stupid, gullible wizard...... Best of all, he is also a Hogwarts teacher......
He's easily at my mercy...... I possessed him and asked him to take me back to Hogwarts, keep a close eye on him, and instruct him to carry out my orders, and in the same year, the legendary Philosopher's Stone suddenly appeared at Hogwarts Castle.
All I need to do is get it, and I'll be able to find a way to reshape my body, and the great Dark Lord will be able to re-enter the world.
Everything seems to be starting to get better.
However, in the following new school year, Hallwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry began to become unfamiliar.
First of all, Harry Potter came to school, so I had to be extra careful to command Quirinus Quirrell to disguise himself as cowardly, stuttering, and pitiful, so as not to be discovered by the suspicious Albus Dumbledore.
Then there were all sorts of boring reforms in the school, but none of them had anything to do with me.
As the greatest Dark Lord of all time, I have done all my teaching assignments with such dedication that no one would doubt a taciturn and diligent Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
However, it all started to go bad with the arrival of the old guy named "Otto Apocalis".
It's not surprising, I knew that Dumbledore would step down layers of magic traps to protect the Philosopher's Stone.
Although the old guy used a pseudonym, the great Dark Lord knew that he was actually the holder of another Philosopher's Stone, the legendary founder of alchemical magic, "Paracelsus", who seemed to find out about my relationship with Quirrell, but instead chose to tell Dumbledore, he used it as a threat and forcibly robbed me of my delicious three meals a day.
With the arrival of this nosy "Immortal", the first level of the Philosopher's Stone serial trap has been replaced by a cumbersome and complicated fire magic from a stupid three-headed dog.
Quirinus Quirrell was just an ordinary wizard, and his strength alone could not crack that magic.
And as time went on, I felt like I was starting to get weak again......
The unicorn in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is my only hope - the unicorn's blood can last my life and restore my strength, even if it will leave me half-dead and cursed, but at least I'm alive.
In order to drink a sip of unicorn blood, I chose the day of the Halloween dinner, when everyone's attention was focused on boring celebrations and parties, and secretly left the castle for the Forbidden Forest.
With the wonderful tearing sound of the unicorn's flesh, ah, I could feel it......
The wonderful, fresh life force I crave is flowing at my fingertips......
Everything went according to plan, and soon, as soon as I drank it, soon, I would conquer death once again!
This time, no one will be able to stop me again, and I, the greatest Dark Lord ever in the wizarding world, the only one who has defeated death, will once again be a nightmare for this world, leaving the world once again under the shadow of the Dark Lord!
But!
Why, why is this happening?!
For the first time, I took the initiative to hunt in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and for the first time, I saw hope of regaining my strength and magic. The interweaving of two exciting things will bring me more wonderful pleasure.
There is no doubt that I should have had this dream-like happy time.
But......
Why!
Why was my dream-like happy time shattered by this stupid mad dog on fire!
Damn it!
Why hasn't this filthy and shitty thing died for me obediently, and why is it still chasing me like crazy!
Blood......
My wonderful life, let me lick it......
Whether it's left on the leaves or seeping into the dirt, let me lick it, just take a bite!
Damn brute, don't bite my robe, don't push me to the limit! You want to save the unicorn, eat it, don't bother me anymore, I just need a little, a little......
Damn it, you beast you don't know what decency is, let go of my robes!
"Arvada gnaws on big melons!"
"Wow, whoa!"
The once-invincible Avada Curse struck the damned three-headed dog as if it had hit a stone, and it was of no use - to be precise, most of the spells hit it had no effect.
Why?!
Why does Newt Scamander never mention in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that the three-headed dog is immune to instant-and-die magic?!
Damn Albus Dumbledore, is he a lunatic?!
Allowing students to keep such dangerous magical creatures as pets, and then returning to school, Quirrell must expose the Ministry of Magic and the school board to get that damn silver-haired bastard out of Hogwarts along with this stupid dog.
The first and second ...... 10th and 11th ......
The great Dark Lord dodged the damn three-headed dog behind him, while calmly mentally counting the clods of dirt mixed with the blood of the unicorn in his hand, and methodically planning his next move.
As for the large blood stains that were not easy to collect and take away, he had almost secretly licked them once.
He could clearly feel that the mysterious power in the unicorn's blood was feeding back into his weak soul - and the blood stains on the clods of dirt in his hands would last for a long time.
......
"Damn big dog, little guy who doesn't know whether to live or die. ”
After a while, the Dark Lord, who had regained a little strength, gasped, turned around viciously, and turned his back to the silver-haired little girl who was sitting on a stake not far away and holding a little golden unicorn to "watch the show".
Although it was only the back, there seemed to be a gaze full of resentment fixed on Elena's face.
"You have no idea what a terrible ...... you have provoked"
“......”
Elena glanced at the man in black, silently holding the big unicorn she had just rescued in front of her—the adult unicorn was also extremely resistant to magic, at least not with the death curse.
At the same time, Elena quietly picked up a stone and pinched it in her hand, "Rua, Rua, Rua......"
Syllable!
Crackling!
Before Elena could react, the man in black not far away didn't even have time to finish speaking, and suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke without warning, and disappeared into the burning Forbidden Forest in an instant.
"Arvada gnaws on big melons!"
The next moment, a dazzling green beam of light pierced the jungle.
"Tsk, did you run away? Sure enough, I'm still old, and my movements are still slower than before. ”
Grindelwald shook his head and sighed wistfully.
In the past, without his permission, almost no one would have been able to use the Phantom Migration to escape in front of him.
Sighing a little, Grindelwald casually clicked in the Forbidden Forest, extinguished most of the flames burning around, turned around and looked at Elena, whose clothes were a little tattered, and her old face was full of nervousness.
"Little girl, are you alright? By the way, who is that guy?"
"Who knows? Anyway, a guy who can't even beat a dog, don't care......"
Elena glanced at the potholed ground and sighed rather complicatedly—what an admirable desire to survive, and those who can really achieve great things have some great traits that people can't imitate.
Why is it clear that the other party is the bad guy, but in the end, there is an illusion that he is the heinous demon king.
Without explaining much, Elena looked up at Grindelwald.
"Well, I'm hungry......"
"Don't worry, you're not fit to go back to the party right now. ”
The wand in Grindelwald's hand tapped at the girl's body and said unhurriedly.
Under the power of magic, Elena's pantyhose and shirt that had been scratched by thorn vines and twigs gradually recovered.
Glancing at Elena, who was clean and neatly dressed, Grindelwald nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand, took Elena's small hand, and showed a kind smile.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to Hogwal...... Huh?!"
Grindelwald's face froze suddenly, and the phantom migration ban that enveloped the surrounding area of Hogwarts reopened......
"By the way, little one, do you know how to get back to the castle?"
Grindelwald touched his nose with a sneer, and looked at Elena with some embarrassment.
"What do you think?" Elena rolled her eyes angrily, "I know you're unreliable, but I'm glad I have Luwei...... Huh?!Where's my Luwe?!"
