Chapter 239: Is This a Battle or a Sparring?
The earth shook immediately, and countless corpses poured into the walls and entrances of Hogwarts from all sides, and the Death Eaters scattered to kill from every possible place to enter the castle.
The magic around Dumbledore's body quickly boiled, and he turned into a white light, meeting Voldemort's dark shadow. The other professors also took action and began to attack the Yin Corpses and Death Eaters who poured into the castle.
The Yin Corpses were all dressed in black robes, and at first glance there was a surge of people, and hundreds of Death Eaters rushed over, and the momentum was terrifying, but when the Yin Corpses encountered the first line of defense - sculptures and armor, they were beaten back to their original form, in addition to their numerical superiority, the single combat effectiveness was not strong at all, and they could only rely on a crowd to solve a sculpture or armored man, and in fact, there were many sculptures......
As soon as they started with the Death Eaters who flew in with broomsticks first, the professors noticed that something was wrong - they didn't look like they were trying to kill people at all, but in groups of several people, they joined forces to entangle a professor, just harassing and defending, not desperate at all.
"Are you still waiting for your master to defeat Dumbledore and help you!" Lockhart scoffed, as a celebrity, he was finally treated with preferential treatment - he was dealt with by three powerful Death Eaters with the Mark of the Dark Devil, but fortunately they only seemed to be dragging their feet and not attacking desperately. Lockhart relied on his shooting speed from years of training and the advantage of magic affinity to fight with the three of them and not fall behind.
In another field, the explosion and aftermath caused by the fierce battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort emptied a large area of the field, and no other wizards and corpses dared to approach, and both sides tried to rely on extremely fast and powerful spells to injure the enemy, and each exchange caused violent fluctuations in mana.
Although Voldemort relied on dark magic to reshape his body, as well as evil means such as making Zuò Horcruxes, his total magic power was unprecedentedly large, but this could not help him gain an advantage in a short period of time, and this was at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had a home advantage, although the protective magic had been defeated, but some other subtle spells still allowed Dumbledore to easily gain the upper hand- The Headmaster's authority allowed him to suppress the enemy's efficiency in using magic within Hogwarts' magical range, and Voldemort had to put in more effort than usual every time he used a spell.
――
"I never took the initiative to deal with you, why do you always have to get along with me," Voldemort yelled angrily, "I just want wizards to achieve a higher status, so that wizards can appear in front of Muggles and become the rulers of the world!"
The spells collided in the air again, and Dumbledore's white beard was raised, and he had to grab his beard with his other hand - Voldemort was completely naked, which was quite an advantage.
"Present to the Muggles in dignity...... And then slaughter them, Tom, and forgive me for having to stop you. Dumbledore fought Voldemort with ease, "If you're just trying to overturn secrecy, then why don't you go into politics, and I find it hard to believe you've made so many Horcruxes just for the greater good of wizards." ”
"Ahh
"I thought about it, but with this evil method, not only can you not live forever, but it also distorts your mind. Rather than this, why do you not sit quietly and open your arms to death? ”
The parties simply do not have a common topic at all, and no more futile arguments. Swift attacks could not hurt the opponent, and Voldemort created a giant flame serpent in an attempt to break Dumbledore's defenses, and Dumbledore showed no signs of weakness......
――
Almost hit again...... Damn, if the other three just wanted to entangle him, Lockhart didn't have any very good way to deal with it, he knew that he should practice a few more emergency black magic! He began to be impatient, the other party must have some conspiracy, so he blindly dragged out time. Where is the conspiracy? Voldemort is also at Hogwarts, so they certainly don't want to deal with the Ministry of Magic, is the conspiracy inside the school?
Lockhart glanced back worriedly, perhaps a Slytherin student had entered the Room of Need, looking for the crown. But then he was almost hit by the spell, he quickly turned around and seriously fought a few Death Eaters, even if there was any conspiracy, he couldn't give up on blocking the Death Eaters from letting them enter the castle now, those students were okay with ordinary Death Eaters and Yin Corpses, this powerful Death Eaters had to be dealt with by the adults.
Although the opponent's attack was not strong, it kept harassing him, and he didn't even have time to cast a death curse, so he could only keep blocking the opponent's small evil spell and take the time to fight back with the simplest disarming spell......
Ten minutes after the battle began, the Aurors such as Lupin and Tonks stationed in Hogsmeade finally arrived on the battlefield, and a small group of elite wizards joined the battlefield, immediately reversing the stalemate, and with Lupin's help, Lockhart began to parry the three high-ranking Death Eaters and retreated again and again.
Voldemort and Dumbledore couldn't tell the winner, but he found that his men were about to suffer the loss of Yan Zòng, and he quickly succumbed again: "Retreat, retreat behind the Yin Corpse, let the werewolves and the Yin Corpse be cut off!"
The Death Eaters who received the order began to retreat, but Lockhart fought with them for a while, how could he let them go lightly?
The Professor and the Aurors were still preparing to pursue the Death Eaters, but the swarming Yin corpses and Werewolves under the Imperius Curse stopped them from their tracks, and they could only watch the Death Eaters follow Voldemort out of the castle.
After the masters left, the Yin Corpses and Werewolves also began to retreat, although the teachers and students of Hogwarts pursued hard, but the number of opponents was too large, and they could only watch a large number of Yin Corpses exit Hogwarts.
――
Without the shield, Voldemort's voice could be heard this time: "Your resistance is stubborn, but it is meaningless, you will die one by one." I don't want anything like that to happen. Every drop of a wizard's blood is a loss and a waste. “
"I am merciful. I ordered my troops to retreat, immediately retreat. ”
"Well, that's nice, they don't have the ability to continue attacking. Lockhart said disdainfully.
Dumbledore shook his head, and began to repair Hogwarts' defensive magic with a spell again, the wave of battle just now caused the sculptures to lose more than half, and there were thousands of Yin corpses lying on the ground, most of which were chopped by the sculptures.
"Give you half a day to think about it, if you don't surrender or hand over Harry Potter before dark, all of you will die!"
Dumbledore repaired the shield and added a soundproofing charm to it again to keep Voldemort's voice out.
"No one died," Professor McGonagall amusedly watched as Voldemort unleashed a dark magic mark above Hogwarts, the giant cyan skull spitting out a snake that would normally mean death, but this time it was ineffective. "A lot of the students were injured, but the sculptures and the anti-spell gear protected them well. ”
Dumbledore raised his hand and used his magic to dispel the dark magic marker, and then under Dumbledore's command, the sculptures began to clean up the battlefield.
Lockhart couldn't help it, and raised his hand to release a Order of the Phoenix marker, the huge magical phoenix that flew above Hogwarts for the first time, although it was quickly dispelled by Voldemort with magic, but it finally appeared in the right place.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Professor Flitwick asked sharply, "they will never be able to defeat Hogwarts if they continue like this, and there are many house-elves in the school who can participate in the war, as long as you give them a wand, they are not weak." ”
"Severus, didn't Voldemort tell you to do anything?" Dumbledore looked at Snape suspiciously, Snape shook his head, Dumbledore realized that it was not good to talk about this in front of the other professors, so he turned around and began to arrange the task for the professors to reassure the students, bring the injured into the infirmary, and let the Aurors stationed in Hogsmeade tour the school.
