77, Commitment

Hoffa stood on a high spot, looking at the massive, formidable metal pipes below, and his heart was only in horror.

He himself knows alchemy, but compared to the terrifying creation in front of him, his own subtle Taoism seems to be a little unimpressive, how did this super monster that even the gods shy away was created.

The answer is self-evident, there are several wand-wielding armed wizards on every other section of the pipes.

They stood on the pipes, patrolling back and forth, and underneath them were countless magical creatures carrying military components on their backs, all creatures, fishmen, centaurs, giants, mountain monsters. They were bound by spells and chains, placing those components in fixed positions, back and forth.

Hoffa could see that an emaciated human had fallen to the ground because he could not bear the heavy metal component on his back.

He had barely arrived, and while he was still trying to get up, the metal around him squirmed. Wrapped around the back of the man's neck like a slime, and in the blink of an eye, the human seemed to have gone through a centuries-long decaying process, turning into a dry skeleton in the blink of an eye.

The sight of a living being devoured by metal made Hoffa creepy to the bone. Thinking of the large number of corpses he had seen earlier, he gasped: "Fatil, what have you done......?"

As if to answer his words, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared on a high platform the size of a basketball court in the distance.

Although it was thousands of meters away, Hoffa recognized it at a glance, it was Fatil and Chloe, and he saw Fatil stepping on a ladder and walking towards the giant planetarium in the middle of the field. Chloe, on the other hand, had a silly smile on her face and followed him step by step, showing that she had been caught in the Imperi Curse.

"Hey, what are you going to do!?"

Hoffa was furious, not only angry with Fatil, but also angry at Nicol Lemay, what the hell was that old thing thinking, just sending his offspring into the mouth of the dragon, and he didn't even show his face.

His shouts were heard by Fatil.

At the same time, it was also heard by countless working wizards. They drew their wands and stared up at Hoffa, their expressions wary.

"Don't get in my way! ”

Fatil glanced at him, waved her wand, and Chloe, controlled by the Imperius Curse, staggered to speed up her pace and ran towards the giant planetarium.

The planetarium slowly turned, and countless circles of ribbon-like metal bars slowly opened, forming a fisheye-shaped entrance, which slowly opened in front of Chloe.

"Don't go in!"

On the high platform, Hoffa rushed straight down.

Fatil waved his wand up to Hoffa, "Kill him!"

His wizards vanished one by one, and one by one, they appeared on the platform, raising their wands, their colorful wands flashing in the air like neon light.

At the same time, after losing the control of the wizards, the enslaved mountain monsters, centaurs, giants, and human Muggles immediately lost control, throwing away their heavy metal components and rushing out screaming.

Some were trampled to the ground as they fled, accidentally crashing into the pipes where they were held, and the strange metal that wriggled in the pipes enveloped those who touched them like living creatures, absorbing them cleanly.

The scene was suddenly plunged into chaos, and in the confusion, Fatil pounced on the console, and he stood under the giant clock, quickly putting some alchemical artifacts on himself.

"Don't think!"

Unfazed, Hoffa completely ignored the spell and slammed head-on, his palm in the air towards Chloe.

Roar!!

A roar.

He slammed head-on into an unseen object, flying straight upside down, slamming into the black dome, followed by the bursting spells of countless wizards.

Boom Boom Boom !!

The dome of the Department of Mysteries was bombarded in a mess. The rubble fell straight down.

In the thick of smoke, Hoffa entered the world of shadows, and the shadow dragon he had kicked away returned and roared at him.

Seeing that Chloe was about to step into the huge planetarium, where did Hoffa dare to entangle with the shadow dragon, he stepped on the ceiling, disappeared in an instant, and appeared in front of Chloe in an instant, trying to stop her from being robbed of her soul.

Fatil was not slow to react, he seemed to have expected this, and at the moment when the ceiling was knocked out of the crater, he apparition appeared behind Hoffa, elbowed him in the ribs, knocking him crookedly and falling down the stairs.

"Get out of here!" he grabbed Chloe's arm and was about to apparage.

A second before the transformation, Hoffa grabbed Fatil's foot and vowed to drag him out, but Fatil was several times more decisive and ruthless than he imagined, his wand turned into a knife, and his hand fell directly to cut off his left calf.

Then, the disregarded apparition vanished.

Hofa looked at the calf he was holding in his hand in amazement.

"Maniac ......"

Syllable!

Fatil's apparition appeared at the entrance to the planetarium and pushed Chloe in with a raised hand. She giggled, having no idea what was going on.

The electric light in the huge rotating planetarium shone brightly, and the moment she entered, she opened her arms straight and floated in the middle of the planetarium, and her eyes turned pure silver.

"Damn it!"

Distressed and annoyed, Hoffa threw away his calf, spread his wings and rushed towards Fatil.

Fatil stood on one leg and sneered as he looked at Hoffa, who was approaching at great speed.

Rumble!!

Hoffa crashed into an unseen dragon again.

This time, though, he didn't keep his hand.

"Don't bother me, bedbug!"

With a furious blow from the ghost's walk, the dragon hidden in the shadows was punched in the head by him, and its twenty-meter-long dragon slammed into a small fist, like a truck crashing headlong into a metal bridge pier, the tail was raised high, and the long crocodile's head was smashed and snapped downward.

The impact is like a meteorite.

The invisible shadow dragon crashed to the ground like a cannonball, and the ground suddenly shattered into a spider web crack with a radius of more than ten meters, and the ground with the deepest fragmentation in the middle sank by more than a meter, and there was nothing in the middle.

In the shadows, dragons wail and writhe, trying to get back up.

But the suspended super planetarium spun mercilessly, wave after wave of arcs of electricity flashed down the pipe, and the shadow dragon writhing on the ground was also sucked by the strange metal on the arrow of time, and in the moment of exhalation, it withered, shriveled, and completely turned into dry bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

looked at the big crater that the ground was blasted out by the huge force, and then looked at the young man who floated in mid-air, without the appearance of a wizard.

The group of wizards of the Ministry of Magic under the planetarium looked at each other, and I don't know who took the lead, and they all apparitioned and disappeared without saying a word. Under the effect of the dominoes, soon there were few wizards left in this large underground space.

Hoffa's chest rose and fell violently, and he clenched his fists and walked step by step in front of the one-legged Fatil.

"Let her go!"

"Don't even think about it. ”

Fatil looked at him fearlessly.

Rumble!!

Hoffa pressed him to the ground, "Are you stupid, even your group of subordinates can see that you are not saved, you still can't see it?"

"Then you will kill me, and you will be your savior!"

Fatil looked at him disdainfully, "Come on, do it!"

Hoffa bit his lower lip tightly, "Don't force me to use all my strength, Fatil, I don't want to make a move on you." ”

"I know you don't dare, your pathetic kindness is what I spurned, and what I want to go back to fifty years to destroy. ”

"That's enough!" Hoffa stubbornly resisted Fatil, his palm turned into a metal claw, and he pointed at Fatil's chest with his claw: "For Aglaia's sake, can't you keep your heart?"

"You...... Dare to mention her name in front of me again!?"

Enraged, Fatil completely ignored Hoffa's sharp nails and forced himself straight up from under the pressure of his arm.

Before Hoffa could react, his claw-sharp nails sank deep into Fatil's chest, and he grinned and stood up at the cost of a piercing blow in the chest, and then his wand fired a burst spell that sent Hoffa flying fifty meters backwards, slamming into the iron bar below the planetarium.

Hoffa didn't expect him to come to such a suicide attack at all, he didn't care about the pain and got up, looked at his bloody palm, and was angry and anxious: "You don't want to die!?"

"I don't value my life more than anyone else, I just want to accomplish my goal, just like you. ”

He jumped on one leg, with a large hole in his chest, and the apparition appeared on the edge of the console, continuing to don his alchemy gear.

Hoffa got up, glanced back at Chloe hover, who was suspended in the planetarium, gritted his teeth, and relentlessly, appeared behind Fatil and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"I'm sorry, even if I break your limbs today, I won't be able to get you what you want. ”

"Why bother?"

Fatil said, turning his head and slamming his head on Hoffa's head.

Click.

The sound of an egg hitting a stone appears.

Hoffa swayed, and Fatil fell backwards with a bloody head. It slammed to the ground with a thud, and a large piece of his head was sunk in, and he was motionless.

Seeing the man fall motionless to the ground, Hoffa's heart was half cold, he was afraid that he had really killed Fatil, so he hurriedly squatted down and pressed his neck with his hand, only to find that although the neck was soft, it was cold and had no pulse, like a dead corpse in an ice coffin.

Fatil ......?

"Fatil...... Hey, don't die!"

Hoffa grabbed his shoulders and shook them, his forehead sweating, and for a moment he had lost his square inch, he had never thought of killing Fatil, he had never thought of it.

"Dead?"

The turquoise eyes snapped open.

Fatir, who had a large hole in his chest and his head dented, did not die as he had imagined, but suddenly pulled out a steel pipe from the ground and thrust it into Hoffa's chest with great speed, and then pressed one hand on his shoulder, and the apparition vanished.

Then the apparition appeared, appearing above the giant planetarium.

"Do you know what it's like to not be able to survive, not to be able to die!"

"Do you know what it's like to have a soul when it's not in your body?"

"Do you know what it's like to regret and torture day and night!?"

In the flash of lightning, he pressed the spikes firmly, pressed Hoffa against the rotating metal band of the planetarium, and his hair was scattered, and the face of Aglaia was somewhat similar to that of a demon.

Hit by this unexpected blow, the corners of Hoffa's mouth were bleeding, and he looked at Fatil's empty chest, and then at the large chunk of his head, and finally understood why he was so fierce to death.

Another manse.

Grindelwald actually applied the immortal curse to his teacher Fatil, and his soul had long been taken away by death.

At the same time, the giant rotating astrometer surface began to boil, and the long metal band, like a slime, gradually wrapped around Hoffa's body.

The mad Fatil said, "I can't kill you, but you can't stop me." When I activate the Arrow of Time, you will be completely torn to shreds under the turbulence of time and space. Even if you don't die, you'll disintegrate into a pile of pieces in a different time due to logical insecurity. ”

Hoffa wanted to tear apart the metal that bound him, but the strange metal was like a living thing, absorbing the energy and vitality in his body, and his recovery speed soon couldn't catch up with the speed of the metal devouring, and his strength became smaller and smaller.

"Damn it, Fatil, can't you just listen to me?" he swelled as his neck swelled, trying to lift his head and break free of his restraints.

"It's late, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"

With that, Fatil sneered and thrust hard, pressing half of Hoffa's body into the mire metal.

Then, he vanished and returned to the Arrow of Time's console, placing the complex alchemy equipment on himself.

Surrounded by boiling metal, Hoffa tried to turn himself into a nightingale, but found that he couldn't even lift his hand.

In the distance, an unstopped Fatil finished putting on his equipment and jumped to the console on one leg, pressing his hand on the wrench. The expression on his face was resolute.

Little by little, the wrench is pulled up counterclockwise, and the stars on the dial twinkle, ticking and regrouping.

The speed of the huge planetarium began to spend, and Chloe, who was suspended in the planetarium, had a dense electric current crawling all over her face.

Seeing that the situation was gradually irreversible, Hoffa, who was almost desperate, gave up his physical struggle, and shouted with all his might: "Look at your current appearance, is it what she wants to see, if you bring her back, what kind of attitude will you face her!?

Hearing Hoffa's shout, Fatil's hand stopped for a moment, but the movement quickly resumed, he gritted his teeth and said categorically: "She will understand me, understand all this sacrifice!"

"Is it acceptable to understand?"

Hoffa roared, "What if she can't stand you, can't stand the world, and jumps into the lake like me?"

"She's not as stupid as you!"

Fatil squeezed a few words out between his teeth.

"Then she won't come to save me, do you think your daughter is a person who can survive in the dark, and live in a camp of flies!?"

Fatil was slightly stunned, and the hand holding the lever actually stopped.

"Do you know her?"

"Do you know her?"

Hoffa's voice was hoarse, half of his body was soaked in boiling metal, and his strength was getting smaller and smaller.

But Fatil did not continue to pull the wrench, and the expression on his face became extremely complicated, sometimes he was fierce and ruthless, and sometimes he became regretful and dazed.

Seeing Fatil's expression, Hoffa was about to cry, this guy hadn't completely lost his mind.

"I know it's not easy for you, and over the years, I also know that you've always wanted to make up for your mistakes. ”

His tone became like that of a flight attendant facing a hijacking terrorist, "It's not your fault that you can teach such a student, it's the fault of this era, help me, Fatil, I promise you!"

Huo Fa's tone softened a little, "I swear with my life that I will definitely bring Aglaia back, but never in this way!"

"What can you do, what can you do? Dead is dead, I killed her with my own hands!"

Fatil's voice was high-pitched, as if in response to his extreme emotions.

The huge planetarium suddenly erupted with a blinding flash of lightning, and a few stupid mountain monsters who had not had time to flee the place were electrocuted to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, all that was absorbed by the terrible machine was an empty shelf.

Hoffa hurriedly raised his tone again, "If the Grim Reaper takes her soul, then even if I chase the Grim Reaper, I will bring her back, I promise you!!"

The extreme expression on Fatil's face gradually disappeared, his shoulders relaxed a little, he looked at the clock with the stars above his head, looked at the huge planetarium spinning in the distance, and lost his words for a moment.

Hoffa's heart hung high as he looked at him, barely able to resist the strange metal on the arrow of time, hoping that his words would be effective.

"You promise?" Fatil's lips trembled after a moment.

"I promise...... I promise...... So," Hoffa calmed down a little, "Fatil, believe me, don't go back in time, we're here, right now, this plane to solve Grindelwald." ”

"Is it really possible?"

He asked, muttering.

"Trust me...... Trust me......"

Hoffa looked at Fatil, at his left hand, which was still on the lever of the Arrow of Time, repeating it in his mouth.

Finally, after a long and terrible wait, Fatil's palm left the Arrow of Time's console. At this moment, his waist fell and he let out a long sigh: "Maybe...... She was right. ”

He leaned on the iron railing and slowly took two steps towards Hoffa, looking old: "I'm sorry...... Bach ......"

He whispered, "I'm old." ”

Seeing that he had finally come to his senses, Hoffa breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart fell to the ground. It's like getting back to the ground safely from an out-of-control roller coaster.

At this moment, the gray hair on his head was like being fished out of the water, all wet, and he wanted to struggle to break free from the bondage of this unknown metal. But his body has not yet recovered, but he can't escape the shackles of that strange steel.

"Don't be emotional, help me get this thing out of the way first, and then we'll think about it in the long run. Hoffa said.

Fatil rubbed his eyes, held on to the railing, and jumped towards Hoffa with one foot.

However, at this moment, in the darkness in the distance, there was a sound of clapping.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

......

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

The two turned their heads away. I saw a bald woman clapping her hands and slowly walking up the stairs.

After applause.

I saw her carrying her skirt in one hand, and the slender fingers of the other hand knocked over the steel, making a regular tinkling sound,

"What a great speech, Hoffa, I want to be like you. ”

She smiled and walked towards Fatil: "It's just, your father-in-law killed so many people, does it only take a simple confession to redeem?"
