Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

But at this moment of war, no one can give an answer.

"Rumble--"

Just as Thurmond was about to say something, an even more shocking explosion sounded throughout the 41st floor, as if it was going to shatter his and everyone else's eardrums.

In the thick smoke, a figure slowly walked out, and the dark magic power was like dancing tentacles, destroying everything at will.

"What the hell is this?!"

Inès' eyes widened. She felt an extremely evil magical power that completely overturned her understanding of life in the previous thirty years.

"The Heretic of Salem..."

In a far corner, a gray-haired woman muttered to herself, her eyes full of fear.

Beside her, there were several wizards wearing navy blue robes.

They are the Silent Ones of MACUSA.

-----------------

The clock went back slightly, to about half a minute ago.

Inside the auditorium, as reinforcements arrived, the attackers, who were only a small force, found it difficult to achieve any success and the situation became tense.

There were battles everywhere. Among the young and strong wizards, Professor Babel seemed to be unable to keep up with the pace. She was besieged by many people and was exhausted and out of breath.

The wand that usually looked like a small wooden stick now became heavy. The old lady moved tiredly and was about to be knocked down by the apostle who was waiting for an opportunity.

At this moment, Lin En's figure suddenly appeared, shocking her so much that she stood there in a daze, thinking she was hallucinating.

"Little Eric, how are you..."

"Professor Babeling, please hide behind me. Leave the rest to me." Lynn's voice was as gentle and calm as ever, "Protect everyone! Fall to the ground!"

One attack and one defense, two spells were blasted out, and the nearest opponent was instantly like an arrow, flying out at a speed faster than Lockhart, and hit the wall heavily, his life or death unknown.

In a flash, red lights lit up the venue.

In front of Lynn, who had inherited the true teachings of Hufflepuff, all their resistance and struggle seemed pale and powerless.

Everyone's movements seemed to be in slow motion, as if they were walking into a trap. Even if they managed to escape one spell, the second one that followed would send them into deep darkness.

In just a dozen seconds, the apostles and dark wizards who had just been struggling with the Aurors and scholars were completely wiped out.

In the dead silence, the only wizards who could still fight looked at Lin En, but he just turned his head silently, smiled and said to his colleague: "You are safe now, I will take you back to Hogwarts later - be careful! Ultimate Iron Armor!"

Before he finished his words, a thick curtain of light stretched across the door and walls of the venue. The next moment, a violent explosion was heard from the nearby corridor, and flames shot up into the sky.

The boiling magic power collided and twisted in the air, as if the air itself had exploded.

The purest darkness, deeper than Helpo's black magic, spreads and spreads.

Even Lynn's magic was unable to offset the power of the explosion in such a hurry.

Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the chairs and podiums in the venue shattered. The wizards who were close to it were swept up by the air waves and fell heavily to the ground.

The world was torn apart in an instant, and the shouts and screams of the wizards penetrated the loud noise of the explosion and reached Lynn's ears.

Even Professor Babel was not spared. She fell heavily to the ground and was dizzy from the impact.

Lynn turned his head, and his magical power as deep as the sea completely erupted. His cold gaze penetrated the ruins and smoke, and he was the first to see the gray-haired wizard rushing out of the corridor.

“Hummingbird.”

This voice was harsher than the Ice Rune that he was good at.

He recognized this enemy who had disappeared for many years, and the other party also saw him at the same time.

"Eric...I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems to be an accident, but it doesn't matter anymore."

The man codenamed Hummingbird had red eyes, but he seemed very calm, with a strange smile on his lips.

It gives people a chilling feeling - especially when paired with the almost solidified black magic.

This is even more eerie than the breath of silence.

"As long as I return the power that belongs to the Great Lord, I will have eternal life. Wealth, honor, status... Everything that happened a few years ago was just a big dream. It's a pity that a seemingly powerful wizard like you can never understand."

He stretched out his arms, enjoying the cleansing of the dark magic. His body was growing taller and stronger at a very fast speed, and the lines of his muscles were clearly visible.

Even the gray hair became shinier.

"You will become a servant of the great master at some point in the future." With a smile and a slight nod, the hummingbird exerted force on its feet and ran quickly towards the patio, as if it was going to jump down.

No matter whether they were apostles or Aurors, everyone was stunned by the explosion, and there was a clear road ahead of him.

Except under your feet.

Invisible shackles rose from the ground, like thick tentacles and vines, tightly entangling his legs - in mid-air, the ancient magic book opened and burned one of its pages.

"You're just talking to yourself, do you want me to let you go?"

Lynn said quietly, wand in hand, with the floating gun hovering behind him, he walked out of the ruins step by step, chasing after them at a leisurely pace.

"Varied……?!"

The hummingbird felt as if its feet were rooted to the ground, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free, just like it was fighting a mountain.

The confident smile disappeared in an instant, and a black and red shadow emerged from behind him and quickly condensed.

It was a huge deer head, with a silent neigh and the howling wind.

Everything around them was swept up, and the Aurors and Apostles who had no time to dodge were indiscriminately knocked away, either dead or injured.

However, even magic of this power could not shake the shackles beneath his feet.

Nito's runes spread on his legs like maggots, and in a blink of an eye there were dozens of them.

They seemed to be of a thousand-pound weight, making it difficult for the monster and the hummingbird to move.

"You are an excellent wizard. We can talk."

The red light in the hummingbird's eyes suddenly intensified, and the voice that came out of his mouth was no longer his own, but a soft, neutral sound - as if it came from a long distance.

"Is this your last words?" Lynn raised his wand, "Flame!"

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky.

In the blazing sea of ​​fire, all of the hummingbird's clothes and hair turned to ashes, but its body was not damaged at all, and even its voice did not fluctuate at all.

"You cannot kill me, I am immortal."

So said the hummingbird, or the monster that was attached to him.

"That's not necessarily true! Weak! Empty! Withered!"

Sharp shouts came from far away and dark curses fell from the sky.

After a brief surprise, the furious Ines took the lead and even reached the battlefield faster than the Silent Man.

Chapter 164: Heresy in Salem (Part )

"Curse? The little guys from the south still like this little trick."

Perhaps it was because of some reliance, or perhaps for some other reason, the unknown monster didn't care about the curse spreading in its body.

Including that dangerous curse of decay.

He even calmly turned his head to look at Ines, who was as young as Lynn.

Then she saw the silent man rushing towards her.

"Let my servants go, and you will get what you want." He struggled calmly.

This is an invisible struggle, a competition of magic in the simplest and crudest form.

The monster appeared calm and composed at first, but after a few seconds, as the Silent Man approached and Lin En's momentum grew, a bit of panic appeared on his face.

The solid deer head seemed in danger of disintegrating during the brief entanglement.

He suddenly discovered that his opponent seemed to be far beyond his previous performance level, and could even be compared with those tough enemies from ancient times.

"You are hiding something, young wizard." He said confidently, looking at the hummingbird under him, his tone not without regret, "This is a loyal and capable servant, but unfortunately..."

The dark magic power broke out of the body, and at the cost of a small loss, it got rid of the rune magic and transformed into a tall creature with a deer head and a human body.

The hero cuts off his own arm without any hesitation or reluctance.

"Uh-"

The hummingbird regained consciousness, but was exhausted.

His magic power, vitality, and even his fundamental soul, everything was brutally taken away from him, leaving only his consciousness, like a candle in the wind.

"The great... master?"

Falling to his knees, he looked in disbelief at the master who had been guiding him for two years.

But the noble being he met as if he were a god only looked at him coldly and said softly: "You are very loyal. I will remember you. Farewell."

It turned its gaze to Lin En, without any emotion even though it suffered a huge loss: "You are a wise wizard, we still have a chance to cooperate."

"Stop it, it's a heretic! We can't let it go!" The Silent Men were still some distance away, and the leader lifted his hood, revealing an old face.

“Noisy…” The monster with a deer’s head and a human body said disdainfully, “One day, if you figure it out, you can call on my divine name, Les. I will grant you everything you want—as long as you are willing to offer your loyalty.”

"Are you done? Your voice is terrible."

Lynn nodded calmly, the flame went out, and he made an obscure gesture with his left hand hanging by his side. Inès instantly understood what he meant and silently recited a long spell.

"Try this, you frog in the well who calls himself a god in the name of lies. This is a gift from the wizard."

Before he finished speaking, the magic book in the air flipped quickly, revealing a complete page.

"Shhh"

The parchment fell off and burned silently in the air, turning into wisps of ashes that fell on the hummingbird, which was already on its last breath.

"Huhuhu..."

The dark wizard who had been full of vigor and vitality not long ago was now unable to move. All that could be heard was the sound of his labored breathing like a bellows, with his chest rising and falling slightly.

He looked at the monster with resentment, but seemed insignificant.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the monster.

A crystal blue vertical pupil suddenly appeared on its chest, spreading rapidly like a violent poison, and spread throughout its body in a blink of an eye.

The dark energy body was like a shadow under the sun. It instantly began to vibrate violently and showed signs of disintegration in a moment.

“This is it!” the monster cried out in shock. “Tonatiuh! How could it be so…!”

It no longer dared to hesitate. If the struggle just now was like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive, then at this moment it was really in a helpless situation and had to abandon its car to save its driver.

Most of his magic power was abandoned in the fight with the vertical pupil. His huge body shrank to the size of an ordinary person in an instant, and his gray-black pupils were filled with resentment.

The boiling magic power exploded unprecedentedly, and a dark shadow shrouded the outside of the patio, blocking all the running silent people and also blocking Lin En more than ten meters away.

"You will regret this, wizard." It said coldly, then fled quickly, leaving only a shadow.

"I never regret it, monster." Lynn raised his wand expressionlessly, "Try this, Expecto Patronus!"

The silver-white fox patronus fell rapidly and drilled through the monster's body. The magic that should have had no power caused it to scream miserably again.

At the same time, invisible waves descended from the sky, the source of which was Inès's magic wand.

Without any warning, it fell into the body of the fleeing monster.

Covered in severe pain and shrouded in fear, it was running for its life without noticing anything.

-----------------

The disruptive monsters fled in panic, the apostles and dark wizards who were the main force also suffered heavy losses in the indiscriminate attacks, and the remaining attackers could no longer make a difference.

But after dozens of minutes, the last dark wizard who was resisting stubbornly fell to the ground under the volley of spells.

The massive siege ended with the annihilation of almost all the apostles. Only a few lucky ones who saw the danger and fled quickly escaped and their whereabouts are unknown.

During this time, Lynn simply stood beside Hummingbird, keeping him alive with magic that was so brutal that no one could bear to watch.

It was not until the haggard-looking President of the Magic Congress came over that he put down his wand and looked disdainfully at him and the mysterious Silent Men.

"Mr. Eric, I am..."
