MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 410 408. Surge of Black Mist
The moment the black mist filled the air, Jon felt a strong sense of crisis.
He released the mantra in the ring without hesitation, wrapped his body, and at the same time used the levitation spell, and the whole person flew off the ground!
Black mist enveloped the entire library in an instant, and at the same time, Brandon stretched out his wand, aiming at Jon's position.
The black mist seemed to be completely under his control, and immediately surged towards Jon who was already floating in mid-air!
Jon didn't dare to rely on the magic spell on his body to directly pick it up. The black mist gave him a very bad feeling. Even the ring magic that he had been maintaining on his body couldn't resist it. Dodge and move as much as possible in mid-air, avoiding the pursuit of the black mist.
"I have never underestimated you, Jon Green. Being able to kill Bella and the others, no matter what method you use, is enough to prove your strength." Brandon's voice resounded loudly in the library, "Master helped me make all the preparations. Even if you can fight, how can you fight against the power of Master? Here today is your death!"
While he was speaking, the tip of the wand also glowed with a miserable green light, and the death curse was suddenly shot from it in the next second!
Although Jon's attention was always on the black mist, he didn't completely ignore Brandon's movements. The moment he saw the green light, he suddenly turned to the left and avoided the attack. .
That is to say, his physical fitness and reaction can keep up now, otherwise even if the situation just now could not kill him, he would have to be forced to the point of embarrassment.
On the ground, the sphinx that originally hid in the library's foyer also keenly sensed something was wrong when the black mist filled the air. It ran and wanted to rush out of the library, but it couldn't wait for it to hit the door. Open, the black mist has already wrapped around it.
The next moment, the Sphinx let out a miserable howl, and then, when the black mist subsided from it, it made no sound anymore, leaving only a frightened and gray face.
Of course, Jon also noticed the changes in the Sphinx. He was actually not unfamiliar with these black fogs. This was the standard product of Voldemort.
But what Brandon released at this moment gave him a distinctly different feeling, and the root cause of this is most likely the reason for the black gemstone ring.
Although Jon is not sure yet, this black ring can only remind him of one thing in the original book, the Three Deathly Hallows and one of Voldemort's Horcruxes—the Resurrection Stone Ring!
Among the three holy artifacts, the effect of the Elder Wand is the most direct, it can enhance all the magic of the user, and the effect of the invisibility cloak is also the most transparent, a cloak whose invisibility effect never fades, only the resurrection stone is not described in the original work. Not many, and the specific effect is rather vague. Anyway, it is definitely not as simple as directly resurrecting a person completely.
And just when Jon was thinking about whether to escape from the library first, or enter the room blocked by the Sphinx behind him, the Sphinx who had lost all anger and was lying on the ground suddenly Stand up again!
It was just "resurrected" and it looked unconscious, more like a soulless walking dead, and at the same time, its eyes were on Jon in mid-air, showing a hateful expression.
Infernal Corpse!
Jon naturally recognized the current state of the sphinx. His heart sank slightly, and he was even more afraid of the black mist below him. Then he thought about the door behind him that might hide the Triwizard Cup. It must be so easy. After opening it, I decisively blasted a window of the library with a spell!
Lestrange obviously noticed Jon's movements, and they raised their wands together to try to hinder Jon's movements, so as to delay time and give the black mist a chance to catch him.
However, Jon's movements were obviously much faster than they imagined.
When he broke the window, he feigned a shot, pretending to retreat into the wooden door at the end of the restricted area, but actually approached the window closest to him secretly, and blasted it with a blasting spell after silently casting a spell. , rushed out immediately.
It was obviously too late for the Lestrange father and son's blocking plan. Before their spells were shot from the wand, Jon had already rushed out of the library, and the black mist seemed to have its own consciousness Usually, there is no need for others to control it at all, and it flew out of the library right after him!
The Hogwarts library is located on the second floor of the castle.
In fact, it is very simple for Jon to solve the trouble in front of him now. As long as he can open the door of the castle with this cloud of black mist, so that everyone outside can see the existence of the black mist, at least those from Rozier and the Federation The referees will not remain indifferent, and this is his chance.
But obviously, the black mist didn't want to give Jon this opportunity. While rushing out of the library, Jon could clearly see that some of the black mist had infiltrated the floor, blocking the stairs leading to the first floor in advance, just to prevent Jon wanted to escape from the first floor.
But Jon was naturally not dead-headed. After knowing that walking from the first floor was no longer feasible, he immediately began to fly along the stairs towards the high floors of the castle.
Since the gate is impassable, it’s a big deal not to go through the gate. If you can find a tower, entanglement with the black mist on it will have the same effect!
Jon's flying speed was obviously not as fast as this cloud of black mist. He could only take advantage of the intricate terrain in the castle to keep pulling, and flew from the second floor to the fifth floor in this way.
"Where's the nearest tower?"
He was asking the Sorting Hat.
Although he has also stayed in this castle for more than half a year, he is not as familiar as the Sorting Hat.
"You have to go to the eighth floor first. The tower closest to the staircase you are in is the former Gryffindor lounge. You can only reach the eighth floor through a long staircase over there."
The second Jon heard this answer, he seemed to have a premonition in his heart, and his body suddenly jumped forward!
At the moment he fell down, black mist filled the air from above his head, and if he finished reacting for half a second, he would be completely sucked into it.
Jon, who escaped this time, didn't even have time to rejoice, he turned around and left from the staircase without saying a word!
It is definitely not possible to move forward. The black mist has already surpassed him and flew to the front. He can only temporarily change the route.
"There are no stairs ahead!"
"There are seven classrooms running ahead, and there is still a staircase. The tower closest to this staircase is also the Gryffindor tower."
It seems that Jon can feel that the current situation is very dangerous, and the voice of the sorting hat has become more urgent.
Jon is really under a lot of pressure now. He dare not let the black mist touch him, and there is no way to solve them for the time being. Fortunately, the speed of Lestrange and his son is not so fast, so there is no way to give this A piece of black mist to help with the above assists.
As for the Triwizard Cup that may be hidden in the library, Jon can only rely on the fact that there is more than one Sphinx blocking the way to the Triwizard Cup.
This time, Jon's rush to the eighth floor was much smoother than before.
It seems that because a lot of bodies were separated to prevent blocking Jon's other possible escape routes, the speed of the black mist was obviously slowed down a lot, allowing Jon to successfully run to the eighth floor and find the road leading to Gryffindor. Stairs in the multi-lounge tower.
"I remember that the Gryffindor lounge seemed to be sealed off like a tower?"
"It used to be the Gryffindor lounge, but after the Dark Lord ruled Hogwarts Castle, it was abandoned and turned into a utility room, and the protective magic inside was weakened. You You can go to the lounge and go directly to the girls' dormitory, where there is a big stained glass, break the glass, and you can see your situation outside the castle!"
Jon can only give the Sorting Hat full trust now, after all, he has no other options to make a decision.
But on the way to the Gryffindor lounge, Jon still felt something was wrong.
The cloud of black mist chasing him was much thinner than when he was in the library just now, and because of this, his speed has slowed down. Now it seems that he can only hang him behind so that he will not be lost.
A hidden worry rose in Jon's heart, but he really couldn't make other choices, not to mention that he had already flown up the stairs that could only lead to Gryffindor Tower, and he would not turn back even if he wanted to. Probably did.
Soon Jon saw the entrance to the Gryffindor lounge.
In the original book, there should be a portrait of the Fat Lady guarding here, and only when the password is given will a passage for people to climb in be given up, but now, before he gets close to the entrance, he sees There is a huge hole in the wall, and it can be seen from the outside that it is full of various debris in a mess.
Jon flew into the Gryffindor lounge, which has indeed become a utility room, messy desks and chairs, all kinds of magic joke toys that seem to have been received, and old armor, broomsticks, and cauldrons. A series of things have been randomly messed up discarded.
Without paying too much attention to the situation in the lounge, under the guidance of the sorting hat, Jon quickly found the stairs leading to the girls' dormitory.
He rushed up the stairs and came to the corridor of the dormitory. He also saw the huge stained glass that the Sorting Hat told him. According to the orientation of the glass, this position should be facing the direction of the audience of the Quidditch stadium.
As long as he can shatter the glass, those people on the field will definitely be shocked! He himself can guarantee escape from the castle!
However, just when Jon had already raised his wand at the stained glass, a cloud of black mist suddenly rose silently under the glass, completely covering the entire glass behind!
It discovered Jon's intentions early in the morning and made preparations in advance!
At this time, Jon's front and back were completely blocked by the black mist that was divided into two ends, and the surrounding dormitory doors were closed tightly. Even if he could use the unlocking spell to open it, the time would still be enough for the black mist to engulf him.
Jon is in a dead end.
The space in the corridor is narrow, and he has no room to escape.
And just as the black mist that surrounded him was slowly gathering, Jon suddenly looked straight ahead with a calm expression.
"Voldemort."
The moment he said the name, the surrounding black mist suddenly stopped.
"I know it's you. No matter how powerful a normal magic is, it's impossible for him to think this way, let alone be so familiar with Hogwarts Castle."
Jon's voice echoed in the corridor, and after his words fell, the originally still black mist surged, and soon, a young and handsome upper body made of black mist appeared in front of Jon.
"You're really smart, Jon, really smart."
Voldemort's voice was a little dull, as if covered by fog.
"It would be nice if you weren't a Mudblood, but a pureblood or even a halfblood."
He expressed emotion, but the cold eyes did not move away from Jon for a moment.
Jon was not confused by his words, he just spoke softly.
"Of course your birth can determine everything, but in our opinion, blood or non-blood is simply nonsense. The most important thing is people's thoughts and talents, isn't it?"
"Of course, you are right. It is a truth that everyone agrees with." Voldemort wandered in the black mist while staring at Jon, "But why do so many people believe in the bloodline I proposed from the bottom of their hearts? What about the theory? It’s the benefits! The theory I can bring them enough benefits! With these, what does it matter if it’s right or not?”
Jon appeared calm on the surface, but in fact his body was tense all the time, and at the same time, his hands hidden in his sleeves were approaching his inner body bit by bit according to what the Sorting Hat said in his mind. pocket.
It seemed that Voldemort didn't talk about these feelings with him much, so Jon directly raised another topic that would definitely attract his attention.
"You're not the real Voldemort himself, are you? You're just one of his split souls."
Sure enough, Voldemort, who was approaching Jon, stopped his movement again. It seemed that he was a little puzzled that Jon knew so much.
"That old fellow Dumbledore told you?"
Jon took a deep breath.
"I still know a lot about you, Voldemort, or Mr. Tom Riddle."
However, just when Jon thought he could delay time, the black mist around Voldemort suddenly boiled up, and at the same time, his mocking ridicule echoed throughout the corridor!
"You still want to play these little tricks in front of me! Who do you think I am!"
The black mist almost drowned Jon in the blink of an eye, but at the same moment, Jon's hand had already reached into the sorting hat!
In this long corridor that was completely shrouded in darkness, Jon drew out a gleaming sword.
The sword light pierced through the black mist!
