The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Merlin reached out again and grasped a withered apple.

"But I've already eaten this one over a hundred thousand times."

He casually tossed the withered apple away.

Scott said, "You can use my memory to materialize this ordinary apple in my hand."

As he spoke, he focused his feelings about the apple on the very surface of his memory.

"I'll give it a try!"

Merlin produced an apple that was exactly the same as the one Scott held.

Click.

He took a bite, but still spat it out.

"never mind."

He threw the apple away and put his hands in his sleeves.

"Although there are some slight differences, it's still an apple, and I've eaten too many apples already."

"Is this the downside of immortality?"

Scott rested his chin on his hand, looking at him curiously.

"It's been too long, we've seen too much, there are no more surprises, and we can't even find a fresh-tasting apple."

You're right.

Merlin laughed and floated around him.

"So, what would you choose, Scott?"

Scott asked in surprise, "You mean, I have a choice?"

"It's a secret."

Merlin blinked, and said nothing more to me.

Scott, however, began to think.

If he had a choice, would he choose immortality like Merlin?

To be honest, perhaps it's because he's still young and has a long life ahead of him that he can't make a choice.

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.

Perhaps Merlin was just joking.

At this moment, the red light in the sky gradually thinned out, and most of the red light had entered the gem and turned into red clouds in the sky above the alternate dimension.

As the last ray of red light entered the gem, the colorless sky with its golden pillars and chains gradually faded away, replaced by a realistic blue sky and white clouds.

However, within the alternate dimension, a sudden upheaval occurred.

The red clouds that filled the entire sky surged and churned, stirring up countless storms.

The red lights converged and formed a red dragon.

Although the red dragon was many times smaller than it was in the outside world, it was now free.

The red dragon opened its mouth and roared at the small piece of land in the alternate dimension at close range.

Rings of sound waves collided with the endless storm and the ground, turning the entire land over and over again.

But the red dragon never stopped roaring.

The ground rolled back and forth, like mashed potatoes on a plate.

Suddenly, a plume of black smoke shot out from the soil, forming a phantom in mid-air.

"Slytherin, they really haven't disappeared yet."

Scott was not surprised to see this.

"Slytherin."

Just then, the red dragon spoke.

Strangely, Scott also heard its voice.

He glanced at Merlin and confirmed that it was his doing.

As the red dragon opened its mouth, its body rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a human form.

"King Arthur?"

Scott stared in astonishment at the humanoid phantom that the red dragon had transformed into.

Although it was just a phantom, it was still clear that his appearance was exactly the same as King Arthur's body.

"King Arthur".

Even as a shadowy figure shrouded in black mist, Slytherin still gracefully performed a wizard's salute.

"Is the red dragon the soul of King Arthur?"

Scott looked at Merlin.

"Didn't Slytherin say that he had destroyed King Arthur's soul?"

Merlin said, "That's what he thinks."

He didn't say much, and Scott could only continue watching the live spectacle unfolding in the alternate dimension.

"It's been a long time, Slytherin."

King Arthur's voice was strong and resonant, carrying a firm will.

"Or rather, I've finally waited for this day."

"Yes."

Slytherin looked up.

"I never expected that things would take a turn for the better after all this."

"A turning point?"

King Arthur shook his head.

"Don't be too arrogant, wizard."

As he spoke, he extended his right hand.

Golden light gathered in his hand, forming a translucent golden sword.

“Excalibur?” Scott asked.

Merlin shook his head. "It's just an illusion created by magic using memories."

Scott looked at the two facing off in the alternate dimension. "Can he defeat Slytherin?"

Merlin smiled. "He is King Arthur."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the battle within the alternate dimension began.

King Arthur, wielding swords in both hands, displayed his unparalleled martial prowess.

Even when Slytherin possessed King Arthur's body, he still demonstrated considerable martial arts skills using that body.

But compared to King Arthur himself at this moment, it is incomparable.

Faced with King Arthur's attack, Slytherin could barely react.

In the blink of an eye, he was struck by several swords.

Although it looks like just "external injuries", he has lost his body at this moment, and the sword wounds have left golden marks on his illusory body.

Slytherin used the black mist to dispel the golden sword wounds while simultaneously manipulating the black mist to attack.

Although he hasn't completely shown signs of defeat yet, he is undoubtedly at a disadvantage at this moment.

Chapter 573 Let him rest here forever

Faced with King Arthur's relentless pressure, Slytherin seemed to have no effective means of retaliation at this moment.

After all, he had once again lost the body he had taken from Medea, leaving only a broken soul.

But King Arthur was different. Although he was only a soul, the phantom of the holy sword he wielded with magic could inflict real damage on Slytherin.

Moreover, his Red Dragon form was already terrifying enough before.

Why didn't King Arthur continue in his red dragon form?

Scott asked Merlin curiously.

"Clearly, he only needs one breath of dragonfire to completely wipe out Slytherin."

"He doesn't have that power now."

Merlin spoke with a smile.

"When he was the red dragon of the sky, he could draw upon the power of the entire Avalon, but now he has left his throne."

"throne?"

Scott raised an eyebrow, recalling the pillars and chains in the sky.

"I thought it was confinement."

Merlin said, "It is imprisonment, it is a throne, and it is a curse."

“I don’t understand,” Scott said. “Why was he able to break free of his confinement after I threw that gem at him?”

"It's related to the content of the curse," Merlin said.

Scott was very surprised. "Slytherins are also part of the curse? But they're not from the same era."

You'll find out.

Merlin did not elaborate on the meaning.

Scott could only shut his mouth and continue watching the battle inside the alternate dimension.
