Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 206 Battle of Hogwarts!

Time passed by minute by minute, and neither side made any rash moves.

Everyone is preparing, preparing for the moment when the battle begins.

Dumbledore strode to the Astronomy Tower, the highest place in Hogwarts, from which he could observe the entire battlefield situation and where he could provide support at any time.

Beside him, Suze and Constantine also came to the rooftop and looked out at the dark castle under the night sky.

Today's Hogwarts can be said to be a lone boat in a storm.

They had no support and no way to escape, so they could only rely on themselves to win the battle.

Su Ze had thought about calling the heroes of the Avengers over, but since they had no wizard blood, there was only one outcome for them if they came here, and that was to be brutally killed by this group of dark wizards.

There was no need for any Unforgivable Curses at all. Just a Muggle-Repelling Curse was enough to prevent the Avengers from putting up any effective fight.

"I can't just do nothing." Constantine frowned as he looked at the dark mass of enemies in the distance. "I have to join the battle, too. They're coming for me, aren't they?"

"Yes, Constantine, but your staying here is the most important thing." Dumbledore turned to look at Constantine and said in a deep voice. "Protecting Hogwarts is only the first step. Our most important goal is to prevent Tom from getting you."

Su Ze also nodded slightly. "His target is us now, so he will definitely come here in person."

Everyone understands that Tom Riddle is no longer the same person he used to be. Having mastered ancient magic, he will be even more powerful than he was during the Voldemort period.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the members of the Order of the Phoenix to stop him, so all Dumbledore could do was to divert Tom to another battlefield.

Now the strongest fighting force of Hogwarts is concentrated on the top of the Astronomy Tower, and Tom Riddle's targets, Suze and Constantine, are also here. He will definitely come here first.

As long as Tom Riddle is not allowed to be involved in other battlefields and is killed here, the enemies he brings from other timelines will just be trapped beasts fighting to the bitter end.

He stared gloomily in the direction of Tom Riddle. Although the distance was far, Dumbledore could still see the group of monsters with hideous faces.

After exchanging a glance with Tom, Dumbledore quickly saw two figures beside him, one was a short goblin, and the other was a tall and thin middle-aged man.

"Lanlock, Rookwood."

Murmuring softly, the fragments buried deep in the memory gradually loosened in my mind.

Dumbledore looked at the two guys, his eyes slowly becoming deeper.

"Do you know them?" Su Ze noticed Dumbledore's reaction and couldn't help but ask.

In response, Dumbledore simply nodded slightly.

"That happened before I came to Hogwarts. Lanlock and Victor Rookwood were both dark wizards who waged war against the wizarding world. Lanlock, in particular, once launched a grand goblin rebellion. However, they were eventually defeated by a senior."

"Before you went to school?"

Su Ze was stunned for a moment. You know, Dumbledore is over a hundred years old, and it must have been last century before he went to school.

Suddenly, Su Ze frowned slightly.

The goblin rebellion of the eighteenth century.

Dumbledore entered Hogwarts in 1892.

And in Su Ze's hazy memory, from 1890 to 1891, there was indeed a terrifying goblin who started a war that almost threatened the entire wizarding world.

"Hogwarts Legacy?"

Opening his mouth, Su Ze finally recalled this vague memory.

No wonder he always felt that the name Lanlock was so familiar, and there was also the ancient magic that was released based on emotions. It turned out that Tom Riddle had traveled through the game timeline.

Before traveling through time, Su Ze had played a game called "Hogwarts Legacy". Although he did not play it for a long time, he also understood the background of the game.

The timeline of this game is the academic year before Dumbledore entered the school. Players will play the role of a transfer student who comes to Hogwarts and has a talent for ancient magic.

It was also in this school year that the player defeated Lanlock and his loyalists, gradually quelling the goblin rebellion, and disappeared into history along with the heritage of ancient magic.

No wonder ancient magic was declared lost in the eighteenth century, and no wonder the goblins in Gringotts were unwilling to reveal the true existence of the armor.

As the leader of the last recorded goblin rebellion in history, Lanlock's existence is extremely special both for the goblin race and for wizards.

"This battle may be a bit difficult." Su Ze smiled. He didn't expect that after fighting this guy before traveling through time, he would have to fight him again after coming to this world.

These guys are far from being ordinary people.

Just as Su Ze finished his words, a green fluorescent light suddenly burst out from a distance.

Victor Rookwood waved his wand and cast a spell hard on the surface of the protective shield.

This attack did not cause any damage to the protective magic, but it seemed to have sounded a signal.

In an instant, the curtain of war was suddenly opened.

All the dark wizards raised their wands, carrying with them the dark and profound magic power, filled with various spells, and continuously bombarded the protective shield of Hogwarts. Countless dark magics streaked across the streams of light of different colors, and brilliant explosions broke out above the protective shield in mid-air, looking like a fireworks show.

After just one round of attacks, the dome's protection began to crumble.

The protective magic cast by members of the Order of the Phoenix and professors slowly began to crack after a series of explosions.

The enemy attacked.

The moment the spell broke out, the atmosphere among the students became tense. They were just a group of teenagers on the verge of adulthood, and they had never seen such a horrifying scene before.

No one would have thought that the war was so close to them. In the peaceful wizarding world, they were protected a little too well.

"The protective spell won't last long."

"Get ready, they're coming!"

Sirius shouted loudly, awakening the students who were immersed in a fearful atmosphere.

Although Sirius's expression was very resolute, it was absolutely impossible to say that he was not nervous at all.

Looking at the group of dark wizards and dark creatures rushing towards him, Professor Lupin swallowed hard. "The victory of the war depends on the strong willpower of the warriors, not the number of their followers."

"Really?" Sirius laughed. "Who said that?"

"I said so." Professor Lupin raised his wand.

"Haha."

Sirius laughed out loud.

"well said!"

Immediately he took a step forward, and the wand in his hand suddenly flashed a faint light, and he blasted straight towards the fastest werewolf in the distance.

As the protective magic of Hogwarts gradually faded, the dark army quickly launched a charge, and in a very short time they gathered into a black torrent, charging towards Hogwarts one after another.

The monsters screamed and rushed into the gap in the protective spell frantically. Even though they were facing one spell after another, they did not stop or hesitate at all.

The war broke out in the blink of an eye, and it broke out simultaneously from three entrances.

A large number of dark creatures and dark wizards launched attacks from three directions. God knows how many people Tom Riddle brought from the historical timeline this time.

Ever since he let the future Fiendfyre burn down the Room of Requirement, and after the trolls attacked Diagon Alley and caused fluctuations in the timeline, Tom Riddle has completely let go.

Since what he did did not affect the fragile timeline, it means that he has enough power to start this war.

One by one, the dark wizards turned into black smoke, drew tracks in the air, and continuously rushed into the territory of Hogwarts.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the students screamed and fled in all directions.

"Hold your ground, and pick up your wand if you don't want to die!"

In the extremely noisy environment, Snape's voice fell steadily into the ears of every panicked student.

The students' habit of being disciplined by Professor Snape for many years made them subconsciously stop panicking and look back, only to see Snape turning into a huge black bat and flying into the air.

There was a sharp light flashing on the wand, and in just a blink of an eye, two dark wizards who turned into black smoke and tried to rush into Hogwarts were chopped down from the air by Snape and smashed to the ground.

Everyone then realized that Professor Snape did not turn into a bat at all, but his cloak turned into the shape of bat wings, making him look like a bat.

Similar to the black smoke created by dark wizards, this is a cloak movement technique created by Professor Snape based on Apparition. Members of the Order of the Phoenix also have a similar white smoke version.

After killing two dark wizards with his own hands, Professor Snape did not stop for a moment. He fell to the ground, looked at the panicked faces, and spoke word by word.

"What are you still standing there for? Get started!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students shuddered.

Soon they all came back to their senses, and the spellcasting actions that had been temporarily forgotten due to panic returned to their minds.

Waving their wands, these seventh grade students didn't even need to chant any spells, as they cast destructive spells directly at the enemy.

Professor Lupin and Sirius stood back to back, waving their wands like conductors, constantly repelling the werewolves that tried to rush up.

Looking at the black smoke rushing towards Hogwarts, Sirius's face turned gloomy.

"Remus, if I remember correctly, Apparition is not allowed in Hogwarts, right?"

Professor Lupin reacted quickly after hearing this.

He raised his head and looked at Snape who was fighting with the dark wizard high in the sky, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Someone has disabled the magical blockade of Apparition!"
