Ancient Wizards Return to Hogwarts...

Chapter 489 Make magic needed by people, and let the age of wizards return.

Upon hearing Helga's words, Rice and Rowena both shut their mouths and hurried deeper into the dungeon.

However, the two who were slightly behind Helga both had faint smiles on their faces.

Everything was going according to their plan. Even if Loki couldn't break the seal, they would help him break it.

Because the two of them now realize that perhaps they shouldn't have drawn such a clear line between the living and the dead in the first place.

When gods and ghosts disappear, the existence of wizards and magic becomes an eyesore.

Rice sometimes couldn't help but wonder, if the Norse gods still shrouded the Muggle sky like dark clouds, would they still launch witch hunts?

Rice didn't know the answer to that question, but he felt that the reason a group was accepted must be because they were needed.

Magic was no longer needed, so wizards were forced to hide and not show their true faces. Now he wants to make magic needed again.

To make magic needed by people and to bring back the age of wizards, Rice felt that this was his destiny in this life.

"Thank you, Loki," Rhys murmured to himself. "But now that you've fulfilled your mission, please leave my good friend's body behind."

He couldn't let Loki leave; that body alone was enough reason for Rice to stop him with all his might.

The three rushed into the dungeon and reached its depths in a very short time, where they encountered Loki, who had just broken the seal.

The moment Loki saw Rice, he was stunned.

He froze on the spot, speechless.

"Surprised? A gentleman who has his own name but likes to impersonate others." Rice raised his hand and greeted him.

"Slytherin, you—?"

"Isn't that surprising?" Rice raised his hand and casually attacked Loki, but Loki easily deflected the attack.

"Didn't I already kill you with my own hands?!"

"You did kill me, but I have come back to life."

Loki: ? ? ?

"No, this—huh?" The god of mischief was now unable to form a coherent sentence.

He couldn't understand why someone could be resurrected after death, something even the gods of old couldn't do. Could it be that Salazar held some secret he didn't know about?

"Stop wasting your breath on him. Loki, do you even know the sins you've committed?!" Hufflepuff roared. "You've destroyed the boundary between life and death. What kind of turmoil will the evil spirits of the underworld cause once they're out of control? You deserve to die for your heinous crimes! Killing you a thousand or ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to quell my hatred!"

The separation of life and death was accomplished by the four of them, at her and Godric's suggestion. Now, seeing their efforts rendered futile, and considering the severe consequences, Helga is truly enraged.

Rice and Rowena exchanged a glance but remained silent, secretly gathering their strength, preparing to join forces with Helga to take down Loki once Helga made a move.

"Hufflepuff, there's no need for you to get so worked up. This is actually a good thing for everyone—" Seeing that the wizards' side had a lot of people and was powerful, Loki had the idea of ​​making a private deal with them.

With his silver tongue, the god of lies and tricks, he can definitely turn the tide! At worst, we can just give them the titles of water god, wind god, and earth mother!

Unfortunately, Hufflepuff was acting on behalf of the three of them, and before Loki could finish speaking, she couldn't suppress her urge to take action.

With a wave of her hand, the surrounding earthen walls pressed against Loki, as if trying to bury him in the mud.

Loki reacted very quickly, immediately igniting a ball of flame around himself before running deeper into the dungeon.

Rice and Rowena followed up with their attacks. One extinguished the raging fire with water, while the other used the headwind to slow his escape and leave him with wounds.

"Be careful, don't smash your body to pieces." Seeing Rowena about to chop Loki into mincemeat, Rice couldn't help but remind him.

"Salazar, you can't be so hesitant. Don't worry, even if he turns into mincemeat, I can restore him to his original form!" Rowena said confidently.

Helga remained silent, focusing solely on launching her attack.

Given Loki's strength, facing any one of these three would be extremely dangerous, let alone being attacked by all three. So he quickly found himself in dire straits, his body covered with wounds of all sizes.

In desperation, he pulled a skull from his pocket, threw it in front of him, and the skull floated in mid-air, opening its mouth and spewing out a large amount of water vapor.

Rice laughed.

"Use this against me? Are you serious?" Rice snapped his fingers, and the skull trembled, showing a faint tendency to break free from Loki's control. The water vapor in its mouth was even swallowed by Rice's domain and turned into its own nourishment.

These skeletons might pose a slight obstacle to Rowena and Helga, but against him, they were simply easy prey. Loki had truly lost his mind to do this.

boom!

Ultimately, after Rice instantly countered the skull's attack, Loki was caught off guard and struck head-on by Rowena's wind blades, his body cleaved in two. The next moment, earth spikes pierced through one half of his body, while the other half was engulfed in a pool of water.

As for Loki's domain, it had long been swallowed up by the domains of Rice and the other two. He's only staying alive now because of his powerful life force.

"Don't kill him." Just as Helga was about to strike and extinguish the life force within Loki, Rice spoke up, stopping Helga from taking any further action.

"Why?" Even though she was filled with anger, Helga stopped what she was doing.

This is the trust built up over many years of friendship.

Seeing that Hufflepuff's actions were stopped by Slytherin, a hint of despair flashed in Loki's eyes.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he chose to let the three kill him, but it seems that his plan was seen through by Slytherin.

In fact, Slytherin wasn't the only one who saw through Loki's scheme; Rowena also glanced at Loki thoughtfully.

Even though the three of them had an absolute advantage, the speed at which they took him down was simply too fast.

Considering that the boundary between the underworld and reality has been broken, Rowena had a bold conjecture.

"Killing him now would only fulfill his wish." Rhys gave Loki a half-smile. "Let's join forces and place a seal on him."

Helga looked at the expressions on his two old friends' faces, thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly realized: the world has changed, and we can't act the way we used to.

Loki's expression changed drastically when he realized that his plan had been exposed.
