The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Slytherin was now completely outmatched and gradually lost the ability to fight back.

Nevertheless, Scott remained uneasy.

He remembered what Slytherin had said before the battle began.

He believed that King Arthur's arrival was a turning point.

If that's the case, it means he's confident he can turn the arrival of this king into a turning point for him.

With that in mind, Scott quickly saw Slytherin's methods.

King Arthur's translucent golden sword pierced Slytherin's equally translucent chest.

Golden light burst forth from within Slytherin's soul.

"what……"

Slytherin cried out in pain, but a twisted smile appeared on his face.

In an instant, thick black smoke erupted from the "wound" pierced by the sword, enveloping the two people who were face to face at close range.

Then, Scott heard a muffled groan from King Arthur.

The black smoke formed a small tornado, spinning rapidly and gradually shrinking.

Finally, when the black smoke suddenly dissipated, only King Arthur remained in the spot.

He lowered his head and covered the left side of his face with his hand.

When he lowered his hand, Scott saw what he looked like—

His originally azure left eye had turned pure black, and even the whites of his eyes had turned black.

In addition, his left cheek was covered with black "veins," making him look particularly terrifying.

"This is……"

Scott looked at King Arthur in surprise.

He realized that Slytherin wanted to seize King Arthur's power and claim all of his soul power for themselves.

Although he didn't seem to succeed, he didn't fail either.

Their souls seemed to have merged.

It's just unclear who is in a dominant position right now.

He couldn't help but feel relieved that Slytherin hadn't used that trick on him, and that he hadn't come into close contact with them.

"what……"

At this moment, King Arthur, whose face had turned two-toned, looked up and roared.

The roar was a mixture of his voice and that of Slytherin.

At the same time, the black "vessels" on his left cheek began to wriggle and spread to his right cheek.

So that's what you were thinking!

King Arthur spoke.

It was his own voice.

“That’s wishful thinking!” he said firmly. “How could the king’s will possibly be yielded!”

A faint red light appeared, spreading from the right half of his body to the left half.

The wriggling black "blood vessels" were slowly forced back under the threat of the red light.

"This has nothing to do with willpower."

Slytherin's voice also came from his mouth.

"Blame your teacher Merlin. He only taught you how to fight with weapons. You didn't learn magic, and you didn't study the soul at all."

As he spoke, those black "vessels" began to surge and twist, instantly wrapping around the left half of the soul's body, including its left hand and left leg.

Seeing this, Scott couldn't help but glance at Merlin again.

Merlin's smile remained unchanged, like a fixed mask.

He still held the ornate long wand, his hands tucked into his wide sleeves, and made no response to Slytherin's words in the alternate dimension.

"That was my own choice, and it had nothing to do with my mentor Merlin."

King Arthur's voice came through.

He raised his right hand, raising the golden phantom of the holy sword in his hand.

"I am the king! And also a knight!"

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and thrust the sword into the left side of the soul's body, where the heart was located.

"Ah...you're crazy!"

Scott heard Slytherin scream.

Those black "vessels" began to turn into black smoke and dissipate.

"I said it!"

King Arthur gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with his right hand.

"I am the king! The king's will will never yield!"

The black "blood vessels" detached from the surface of the soul, waving like the tentacles of a monster.

This will make you disappear along with me!

Slytherin's furious roar.

King Arthur laughed.

“I should have disappeared long ago! I am different from you. Although I left behind only regrets in my life, I have no regrets and I never expected to live forever!”

As he spoke, cracks appeared on his soul, and blinding golden light leaked out from them.

"the same as you."

His right hand pushed against the hilt of the sword until it touched his chest.

"You've been dead for a thousand years, so just obediently become part of history with me!"

Golden light shone brightly once more, like a dazzling sun.

The black smoke that was constantly being eliminated in the gold was like sunspots in the sun.

After a long while, the light slowly faded, revealing King Arthur's golden soul.

At this moment, his soul was almost transparent, as if it were about to drift away with the wind.

“I know you’re watching me, Merlin.”

He began to speak.

"From now on, everything is in your hands."

A hearty smile appeared on his face, and then it vanished completely.

Scott stared at the now completely empty phantom of the otherworld and fell silent.

"It's finally over."

Merlin, standing to the side, lazily stretched, seemingly unaffected by King Arthur's complete disappearance.

This made Scott feel like it was all unreal.

"It's over? King Arthur and Slytherin have both disappeared?" Scott asked.

"Yes."

Merlin nodded.

"Congratulations, all of this has finally come to an end, and you are no longer bound by prophecy."

Scott then asked, "Aren't you sad at all?"

"Sad?" Merlin tilted his head. "Because of Arthur?"

Scott nodded.

Merlin shook his head. "No, there's nothing to be sad about. This is a good thing for Arthur."

"Good thing?"

"Yes, that's good news, he's finally free."

"What exactly is going on?"

Scott had many questions at that moment, and he wanted to know everything.

Let's go to the Flower Sea Secret Realm again.

Merlin said with a smile.

"You will find the answer there, and you will get what you want."

He turned his head and glanced at the center of Avalon.

"Ah, but I must remind you, you must speed up, otherwise, someone else may get your reward first."

After saying that, his figure vanished without a trace, like a bubble.

"Is that Aaron?"

Scott immediately realized what was happening.

He immediately reached out and retrieved the gem, then manipulated the raven to swoop down rapidly.

As he approached the oak tree, he shouted, "Sawana, come up!"

An eagle flew through the branches of an oak tree, landed on the back of a crow, and transformed into Savannah.

Scott flicked his wand, and magical runes appeared in the air.

A sudden gust of wind swept up the crow and the two people, carrying them rapidly toward the center of Avalon.

Scott briefly described what had just happened to Savannah.
