Chapter 317: Facing the Demon King
With ordinary means, it is completely impossible to deal with these Death Eaters who are several times the number of their own, but it will definitely waste a lot of time, Lockhart had to forcibly urge the mana, the magic flow is so fast that the arm holding the wand hurts, constantly firing one incantation after another that is ridiculously strong, and quickly teleporting to places where one enemy after another cannot react.
――
By the time the magic power was almost exhausted, there was no longer a standing Death Eater on the field, and the leader of Rochenthal had already seen that the situation was not good, and fled, and the surrounding forest fire was spreading, and the whole vision was raging fire, and with the help of the devil's flame, the fire was extremely fierce.
"Extinguish!" Lockhart waved his wand to extinguish the most threatening fire, and then used a large-scale "clear water like a spring" to extinguish the open flame, and the remaining sparks were gone!
More than a dozen spells were hit, but fortunately there was no powerful magic in them, only a little torn clothes, and only a few small wounds on his body.
"Hermione, it's okay. ”
"I'm fine...... They're pretty much hitting you in the end......" Hermione said timidly, "you're hurt......"
"It's okay, let's go, this is probably the last blockade. Lockhart shook his head, "Quick." ”
Cyreth was also a little injured, and his leg was hit by the paralysis charm, which was still a little inconvenient, but after giving him a levitation charm, he was able to get on his way easily.
――
This is not the last line of blockade, there are still some wandering Yin corpses and werewolves in front of them, and Muggle villages can already be seen, and I don't know if they have been attacked by Yin corpses and werewolves. Maybe in half a day, they will be able to leave the barrier area and use their broomsticks to quickly escape.
There may have been some Death Eaters coming in from all over the place outside the no-fly zone, but Lockhart and the others couldn't see them anymore.
Because Voldemort is coming.
Dozens of miles away, they felt Voldemort's surging aura and murderous aura, and he was traveling at almost twice the speed of sound. Flying towards the place where Lockhart and the others had just met the Death Eaters, had a fight, and killed a dozen people.
In order to be on the safe side, he ordered that no matter what happened, the Floo network should not be activated, and that the no-fly and alarm magic should be kept covering a hundred miles from the place where the battle took place, and in order to reach the battlefield quickly, he did not use a broom, but directly relied on his extremely strong magic power to fly from further south of London. In the whole world, he is the only one who has this strength for the time being.
The moment he sensed Voldemort, Lockhart knew that the Horcrux would definitely come in handy today. What he needed to think about now was how to get Hermione out with her Horcruxes, and it would be great if Cyris and Harry survived as well.
"Syris, you take the children and continue south. Lockhart said expressionlessly, trying to keep himself from shivering.
"You're no match for him. Cyris sensed the breath as well.
"What?" Hermian was terrified, even if she was not strong enough to sense Voldemort's approach, but she was as smart as she was, and she understood what was happening as soon as she heard it. "Impossible......"
Voldemort flew north in a rainbow of black smoke from the sky miles away from them. But that didn't make them relax, because Voldemort just had to reach the coordinates that the Death Eaters had given him before deciding which way to go.
They were now in an enchantment set up by the Ministry of Magic, and there was nowhere to hide.
――
"It's not an opponent. I didn't know until I hit it. ”
"If so, then why drive us away. With a single word, Cyrius pierced Lockhart's pretense of calmness.
"Well, let's die together. Lockhart's heart was dead, "but Hermione. You have to go, at least give things away. ”
"I ......" Of course Hermione knew why, but could she escape.
Voldemort had arrived at the battlefield a few hours ago. They could only see the corpses of their own men, but in the magical enchantment, Lockhart couldn't hide them at all. Voldemort felt the fluctuation of magic for a moment, and immediately chased after him in the right direction.
"It's coming. This time, even Harry felt the breath, and he said with a pale face, "It may not be impossible to beat, we have received so much training......
It is true that there is no power to fight, the point is that the people on the other side will arrive in a steady stream, and they are alone.
"Dumbledore said that destroying Horcruxes would weaken Voldemort, so let's see how much it is weakened. Lockhart said calmly, "After all, we destroyed - one, two, three, four, four Horcruxes. ”
He also made Horcruxes himself, and he didn't know where the argument that destroying Horcruxes could weaken the owner of the Horcruxes, and the Horcruxes themselves did not enhance the strength of the master, but the process of making the Horcruxes - so he thought it was nonsense, maybe it could weaken the soul?
They didn't continue to escape, even if they ran a few hundred meters more, Voldemort would be there in an instant.
――
"Hahaha...... I've got you. Voldemort laughed and returned to his human form from the black fog, staring fiercely and alertly at Harry, the prophesied nemesis giving him a great deal of insecurity. "Why didn't you run away?"
"I've been running for a few days and I'm tired. Lockhart said stiffly, he thought he was already strong, but it was still difficult to keep calm under Voldemort's momentum, so he could only force his composure. "Good afternoon, Mr. Voldemort. ”
"Don't talk to me, kill Harry Potter, then kneel and swear allegiance to me. Voldemort grinned as he opened his lipsless, revealing sharp white teeth, and his erect pupils shifted his gaze from Harry to Lockhart. He could tell at a glance that this was the strongest of the four. "Finally, I beg Lord Voldemort to give you the Dark Mark of the Dark Devil, and I'll generously promise you, how about this script?"
Voldemort stared into Lockhart's eyes as a mental shock came, but Lockhart tensed his nerves and quickly activated his Occlumency, trying not to make eye contact with him.
"You two, and this little girl, I don't have to kill ...... Although you have caused me a lot of trouble, Lord Voldemort has always been merciful and likes people-"
"No, thank you for the compliment, you're the Dark Lord, just talk about it and start fighting. Lockhart interrupted Voldemort's nonsense without appreciation, if it had been earlier, he might have thought about it, but now Voldemort probably knew that he had destroyed at least one of his Horcruxes. This hatred could not be easily eliminated, at least Lockhart did not believe that Voldemort would be so generous.
The reason why Voldemort still needs to provoke is probably because there are few opportunities to practice eloquence or enjoy the thrill of terrifying his enemies for a few more seconds...... Maybe maybe it's just because of the habit of being a big villain.
Lockhart actually managed to settle down at this time, no longer trembling, and couldn't even suppress a sense of relief. Humans are afraid of death, often because what they are doing or the situation they are in is "likely" leading to death, and when death is inevitable, they have to face it bravely.
"Tsk, you can be the head of the Aurors, now that rice bucket ......," Voldemort said in a sincere tone, "Maybe you want to be the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, well, you kill Harry Potter first, and then we can discuss your position." ”
Lockhart suddenly understood that Voldemort might really not want to fight Harry personally, because of the prophecy, because Harry really injured him as easily as the prophecy last time, and because he hadn't gotten a powerful wand that promised not to be restrained.
――
"Don't talk nonsense," Cyris didn't dare to let the conversation continue, he was afraid that Lockhart would really be tempted, and waved his wand: "Die!"
"Murderer, today I'm going to avenge my parents!" Harry also red-eyed.
Two red rays of light shot at Voldemort, who raised his wand to easily block them, and then attacked Hermione first.
"Bastard!" Voldemort was not sincere at all when he was still trying to find a way to turn against himself, but he attacked him first when he made a move. Hermione would never have dodged such an attack, and Lockhart knew that. Hours passed, and most of the mana was restored.
He teleported in front of Hermione and raised his wand to block the first attack.
"Hide behind a tree!" he exclaimed, holding back the numbness in his hands, "and you, Harry. ”
Another spell struck, and he condensed his magic shield again to block another attack. Voldemort's casual blow could easily pierce his vajra hood and iron armor spell, forcing him to use his wand to condense a pure magical shield to block it.
