"Choose, either nirvana with me or destroy with the school. ”

Hoffa stared into Sylby's eyes, there was no emotion in those eyes, only the madness that lurked under the vicissitudes of life.

With the last glimmer of disillusionment, he saw the truth.

The other party is well prepared, has superb acting skills, is meticulous in planning, acts ruthlessly and methodically, can endure loneliness, can withstand temptation, and will always have a back hand.

And himself, he is just a second-year student, even if he lives a few years longer than ordinary people, he is not the opponent of this thousand-year-old demon at all.

He knew that what Sylby wanted was not as simple as a school, a country, or a continent. His desires, his ambitions, his ideas, would never allow him to stop.

Perhaps he was just one of the many obstacles he had to overcome.

At this moment, the sea of corpses and blood that he saw in Barcelona surged into Hoffa's brain again, and he saw the ruins of the wall, and saw countless lives wiped out in a calculation.

That's his inner demons, and it's his fear.

Over the past year, he has woken up from nightmares countless times, aware of his own insignificance and powerlessness, and a similar scene is about to be repeated again.

Look down at the orb, and then look up at the mirror image of the lake, where more and more structures are falling, and more and more explosives are being placed in the school.

At this moment, Hoffa truly understood the weight of the sentence on the coin.

Look for the light under the darkness.

It's more than just a sentence. It is a torture of the soul, a torture of life.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

In the heart of the black lake, under the thick black clouds of 1940, Hoffa once again tried to understand himself, to understand life. The end result was not satisfactory.

Miscellaneous thoughts flashed through his mind.

Hoffa exhaled, and finally calmed down:

"Do you want to hear my thoughts?"

"Tell me about it. ”

Sylby tilted his head.

"For the past six months, I have had three minutes of time every day to repent to myself.

There was once a man who, even with a physical disability, faced life with optimism and faced adventures. But I couldn't protect him, and I watched him die in front of me, and that's my fault.

I've wondered countless times if I could have done better if I had been given another chance.

That person is my friend, and I am willing to help him and go on adventures with him. ”

After a pause, Hoffa said, "But that person is not you.

That Rhonai Ravenclaw coin should have been with you for a long time, but you never seemed to understand the meaning of the phrase. Or rather, you understand, but have long disdained to follow. ”

Looking at Sylby, who was expressionless, Hoffa smiled calmly and said calmly:

"I think you're a conspirator, a murderer, an unscrupulous coward, a spider living in a dark world, and I don't care about you.

Do whatever you want, endless power, endless wealth and power?heh, those things are as ridiculous to me as stinking.

I sometimes ask myself what I want, what my goal in life is, and when I think about it, what I want is happiness. It's just that I haven't been able to find the true meaning of happiness. But the only thing I'm sure of is that you can't give me what I want. ”

After speaking, he placed the Hogwarts Orb on the ground: "In order to prove that you are strong, you will slaughter all beings, I can't do it, you give up." ”

Sylby stared at him in silence for a long time.

Then a smile appeared on his mouth, and his palm deformed and opened, revealing the dark muzzle inside, and he pointed to Hoffa's head, "It's good to see you again, brother." ”

Hoffa raised his middle finger and smiled:

"Go back to **** yourself. ”

Bang!!

The guns fired, and the light of the fire reflected Hoffa's face red.

The bullet was only a meter away from him.

Strangely, in the last 0.01 second of his life, he was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he felt relaxed, it was a kind of unreserved calmness, a kind of purity in facing his own heart. The demons that had plagued him for a whole year collapsed at this moment.

It's just that the expected scene of brain plasma bursting did not appear.

The bullet spun, but stopped a centimeter above his head.

Hoffa saw a transparent figure standing in front of her, and she reached out to block the bullet.

Her body glowed with a hazy blue light, floating like ripples like water. It's like a phantom made of magic, and it wants to be an ethereal ghost.

As soon as he turned his head, there were still three figures standing beside him. One glowed green, thin and short, and the other had an earthy yellow glow, slightly chubby and kind. One has a red glow, tall and strong.

And the Hogwarts orb, at some point, actually floated beside him.

"Help us. ”

The female phantom in front of her, who had blocked the bullet, whispered. "Help this school. ”

Hoffa looked at the four apparitions in amazement, three of whom he didn't recognize, but he knew the gentle woman standing in front of him, because her statue was in his common room.

Rhonai Ravenclaw.

And the other three?

"You ......"

Sylby had nostalgia in his eyes, and his tone was vicissitudes: "You guys, who have been dead for a thousand years, are finally willing to come out?"

The four apparitions didn't look at him, and they all stood in front of Hoffa.

A handsome, tall male apparition pushed Hoffa by the back, lifted him up, and whispered in his ear, "I wish you could hold my sword." ”

The chubby Hufflepuff bent down and placed the orb in Hoffa's palm, holding your will. ”

And Slytherin just said dryly, "Be careful. ”

Sylby stood alone in the distance in a wheelchair, looked at the five proudly, and sneered:

"Use choice as a password, and death as a filter out those who are not suitable to be pawns, you really have your style, Ronay. ”

Ronald Ravenclaw turned around and said the only thing to him indifferently: "It's sad, everything is dark." ”

"Isn't it?" Sylby roared.

Ravenclaw shook his head, let go of the bullet, and pressed his palm to Hoffa's forehead.

"I'm proud of you. She said.

Endless magic flowed from his forehead into Hoffa's body, and the light of the orb dimmed completely, and the four phantoms disappeared at the same time.

The magic was stirring in his body, and Hoffa looked at his watch, the hands on which were turning wildly.

1X，2X，3X，4X，5X！！

Pull it up directly!

What a surge of magic, he turned his head to look at Sylby.

Sylby moved his brain and sneered: "A group of hyenas huddled together for warmth, vainly trying to challenge the strength of the male lion, wishful thinking!"

He disappeared in an instant, and so did Hoffa.

The next second.

Bang!!

The two appeared in the middle of the island and fisted each other.

The huge sonic boom caused the entire lake to stir up, and the white stones on the ground shattered one by one.

Flesh collided with steel, the bones of Hoffa's left arm shattered, flesh bloomed, he saw the sneer on Sylby's face, and saw the indifferent gray eyes fluttering under his gray hair in the fierce fist wind.

Sylby flicked off Hoffa's punches, and the sheer force sent him deep into the slab and bent over.

The magic power was frantically transformed into life, and the bones in Hoffa's body were broken inch by inch by Sylby's huge force, and at the same time, they were repaired instantly, and each time they were repaired, they became harder and harder.

Watching Hofa's body recover little by little, Sylby was not afraid at all, he held Hoffa with one hand, pressed his thigh with the other, slowly straightened up, trembled and sneered:

"It's all in my plan, man. ”

As he spoke, he lifted his thighs, and the joints on his black body were fully open, revealing the purple magic crystals hidden in them.

Rumble!!

A leg slammed into Hoffa's chest.

Hoffa walked straight through the pile of books on the ground.

It slammed into Salazar Slytherin's statue, which collapsed.

Hoffa slapped the ground, and the whole person rolled seven hundred and twenty degrees in mid-air, dodging the falling rubble.

Then, he bent down, kicked back, and punched Sylby in the lower abdomen without any fancy punch.

Rumble!!

Sylby flew upside down and crashed into the tall Gryffindor statue.

The statue fell directly into two sections, and slammed into Sylbie's steel body, and he kicked the rubble, leaped out, stood on the ground, and said indifferently: "Is this the only extent?"

With that, he bent down, and at all the mechanical joints, the purple magic light shone brightly, and he recoiled like a cannonball, suddenly appearing behind Hoffa.

"A true wizard must learn to look behind him. ”

Hofa glared at him, and didn't hesitate to start the ghost walk, but he was a second slower.

Thundered!

He was hit in the cheek by a black fist behind him, spit out a mouthful of teeth, shattered his cheekbones, and flew upside down more than fifty meters away, flying directly out of the lake island, smashing the train parked on the lake. The train rumbled twice on the surface of the lake.

Hoffa tumbled and fell to the rails.

His spine was broken into three sections, and his ribs were almost half broken. He lay on the railroad tracks and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The magic in his body transforms into a huge life, constantly repairing his injuries. His ribcage bulged back like an inflated rag doll.

In the distance, Sylby didn't give Hoffa time to react, he looked at where Hoffa had fallen.

Raising his arm, the arm was completely split, revealing the muzzle of the black hole, and dozens of shells flew out of his arm.

At the moment of the ghost walk, Hoffa floated on the surface of the lake, and when he turned his head, his whole face was red by the artillery fire in front of him.

Boom Boom!!

In the next second, the shell hit Hoffa.

Rubble flew sideways, smoke billowed and water splashed, and the railroad tracks were blown into twisted shapes and erected high above the lake.

Sylby lifted his leg and leaped.

Jumped directly out of a distance of dozens of meters, smashed heavily on the surface of the lake, and the rails bent and rolled up waves several meters high.

He landed and moved his body, and slowly walked over the railroad tracks, his steps firm and decisive.

Rolling waves hit and blew away the smoke of the explosion. In the boiling water vapor, a huge phantom appeared.

The corners of Sylby's mouth curled.

"You won't let me down, Hoffa Bach. ”

The fog cleared.

The phantom gradually became clear.

It was a creature encased in all-metal wings, each of its feathers cold steel. The force of the explosion was completely blocked.

The huge wings with a metallic sheen slowly spread out to a length of ten meters, revealing the figure of Hoffa behind him.

Sylby nodded, "Kind of interesting." ”

Hoffa stood up, and with the help of a huge amount of magic, he began to try the deepest human transformation he had learned this year.

At this moment, the wound in his body was repaired with the help of the transformed life, and he looked at Sylby on the white lake in the distance. Raising his head, his legs straining, and the full metal wings flapped, he rose extremely quickly in the air.

Thirty meters high, the all-metal wings behind him quickly faded, turning into dots of blue light, floating in the air with him.

That's pure magic.

As soon as he raised his hand and pointed at it, the floating magic gathered on Hoffa's fingertips, turning into tens of thousands of volts of electricity.

Rumble!!

The high-energy rays directly engulfed the man on the rails.

On the entire white lake, electric light jumps and flickers, and the free electricity in the air makes people's hairs stand on end.

This trick knocked the dark wizard Schmidt Rutrov out of combat last year. However, this time, when it was used, Hoffa's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to be lazy at all.

Sure enough, the vapor dissipated. Sylby stood calmly in the churning blue current, tilting his head. The electricity struck him, causing his face to crack, but it didn't change his expression in the slightest.

He looked at the current on his palm, shook his head, and sighed:

"It's too scattered, and all these bells and whistles are useless to me, Hoffa. You still don't understand the nature of magic. ”

"Good. ”

Hoffa was not discouraged, he fell from the sky, and with a bite of his finger, the magic of the huge thunderbird transformed and flowed within him.

Activated state!

His whole body was raised a head again, and his bones quickly split within him. Transformed him into a more complex creature, his tendons elongated, each muscle like a steel draw. Sharp bone spurs grew from each joint, fingers were pure black and curved and sharp, and the entire body was abnormally lean.

As the arc flickered, he raised his head slightly.

"Come on!"

He stepped on, bent the rails, and slid out against the lake.

Click!

Sylby's back was towering, and all the joints spewed thrust.

The two are fist to fist again!

This time, the train on the tracks was pushed over directly by the impact force, and the lake was choppy.

Sylbie's forearm was smashed directly into the dislocation, and black metal pierced through his elbow and tucked into his upper arm. Purple arcs crackled, and in the air, leaking magic stirred.

Immediately, Hoffa slammed his leg into Sylby's chest, but his palm clasped his shoulder blades.

Bang!!

With a loud crisp thud, Hoffa lifted his leg and kicked it.

An arm was torn off violently, and Silheavy flew out more than a hundred meters heavily, smashing on Baishi Island, and the huge impact directly smashed the entire Baishi Island to pieces.

The rubble completely submerged him.

Hoffa threw away the mechanical broken arm and strode forward, getting faster and faster. This state is a huge load for him, as if he is doing anaerobic exercise.

"Boom!"

Sylby got up from the rubble, patted the pages on his body with one hand, looked up at Huo Fa, who was flashing with electric light all over his body, and said calmly: "In the face of me who has turned on the full state, you can still do it to this extent, worthy of the talent I fancie." ”

Hoffa, who rushed forward, did not dare to be careless at all.

Sylby stood up, bent his knees, his leg joints open, and the magic in the mana crystal flowed to the joints. Huge amounts of energy erupted, and the reaction almost shattered the island of white stones.

In the midst of the bang.

He disappeared again.

Hoffa enters the ghost walk, only to be stuck in Silby's lower abdomen with one hand, holding his spine.

With a cruel smile, he forcibly dragged Hoffa out of the shadow world.

He pulled out his palm and slammed a fist into Hoffa's cheek, breaking the bridge of his nose and teeth in his mouth.

Within ten seconds, Sylby stepped Hoffa on the rails, the metal soles parted, grabbed his throat, and one hand was like a piledriver, and fifty punches were thrown in an instant.

Bang bang!!

Hofa's whole body was concave like mud, and at the same time, it quickly recovered under the immense power of magic, as if it were metal with memories. Hoffa stared at the other man with a metallic sheen that covered his body little by little.

It was Osivia's human deformation.

Gradually, where he was hit by Sil's heavy fist, the dents became shallower and shallower, and finally the sound of flesh and blood cracking turned into the sound of gold and iron.

"Good sandbag. ”

Sylby complimented, then grabbed Hoffa's thigh and smashed him into the desert island in the middle of the lake.

Hofa supersonic speed fell from the sky and smashed on the lake island with a bang.

The white stone flew sideways, and the statues of the four founders were completely shattered. The thousand-year-old pile of banned books was blown to pieces, and the pages flew high in the sky.

For a time, the lake poured back, and the whole mirror world was in shambles. It took a while for the boiling water to slowly regain calm.

The forbidden paper fell from the sky, mixed with droplets of water like a torrential rain, and fell at Sylby's feet. He stood on the surface of the lake with one arm, looked at the completely smashed white island in front of him, shook his head and muttered:

"Come on, come on, come on, brother, isn't that going to work...... Don't do this...... Don't do this..... Don't ..... like that"

As if in response to his whispers.

Rumble!!

With a bang, the fog dispersed again, carrying a large area of thunder and water.

The one-armed Sylby laughed feverishly: "Come on!!"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Hoffa, who had wings on his back, instantly appeared in front of Sylby, grabbed Sylby's neck, the whites of his eyes were completely covered by a dazzling golden light, and his whole body was like steel poured.

As he retreated, the one-armed Sylby raised his leg and swept towards Hoffa's cheek, only to be slammed into the cheek by a slap.

"That's it, Sylbie. ”

Hoffa's fingers were forced, and Sylby was stunned, and his calf on Hofa's cheek was crushed by a hard palm.

Then, Hoffa's arm exerted force, directly ripping off Sylby's right calf.

Then he lifted Sylby sideways, grabbed his crotch and ribs, and the green tendons on his metal arms burst out.

The activated state is opened to the extreme.

Life 5

Life 6

Life 7

Life 8

Life 9

"Drink!"

With a loud shout, Sylby was directly torn in half by his waist.

Hoffa smashed Sylby's lower body with a bang, holding Sylby's neck with one hand, lifting his upper body to the surface of the lake.

The purple arc crackled and sparkled, and the green oil dripped from his lower abdomen onto the surface of the lake.

"You're defeated. ”

"I'm going to rip off all of your limbs," said Hoffa, "and then put your head in a box and mail it to Wizengamot with an owl." ”

"Defeat?"

With only one hand left, Sylby teased in mid-air and said, "Brother, you don't think I'm going to bet my Hogwarts soul on your punches and kicks." ”

Hoffa tore at his left arm.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh. ”

Sylby grinned, "You can use the power given to you by the four founders to have a boxing match with me, or you can ...... Save the world. ”

With that, his only left arm snapped his fingers.

Smack.

As if some kind of switch had been triggered, a rumbling sound came from the ears, and on the mirror under his feet, there were suddenly dots of firelight, and the firelight gradually became larger, swallowing up the entire mirror.

Then, the sound around him also began to explode, the railroad tracks burst open one by one, the statues of the four founders were engulfed in flames, and the entire White Island turned into powder.

Hoffa's heart sank to the bottom, and he dragged Sylby to death.

"What did you do!?"

"Nothing. ”

Sylby shrugged: "I just detonated the 10,000 tons of TNT, anyway, I've always wanted to see if ancient magic can withstand the power of modern technology." ”
