Forced to Fight Ten, Three Seriously Injured and Six Lightly Injured
"Attack together, don't give him a chance to react." Barty Crouch Jr. said seriously. He had witnessed Aaron's strength last year. Although he looked down on Aaron in words, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of green light shot out from his Wand.
"Avada Kedavra!"
At the same time, nine other Death Eater launched an attack.
Red, white, green, and blue spells shot towards Aaron from several different directions. As he dodged, he raised his Wand to block, and his own magic power rapidly gathered during the process.
"Fog Veil."
A thick white fog quickly spread, filling the entire room in the blink of an eye and obscuring everyone's view.
"Take away this fog," Lucius shouted, and the two Death Eater closest to him raised their Wand in unison, creating a spinning vortex of wind.
The thick fog was swallowed up, and everyone's vision returned to normal.
"Where is he?" Bellatrix searched for Aaron's location angrily, muttering, "Is it another Illusion Magic?"
"It's Illusion Magic, but with an additional layer of Disillusionment Charm." Voldemort's bloodshot eyes looked at the platform. "Gao Ai's disguise skills are no match for mine."
Aaron reluctantly withdrew the magic from his body. "Is it fun for a peak archmage like you to bully a fifth-year Warlock like me?"
"You're not your average fifth grader!" Voldemort said with a smile and a wave of his hand. Harry and the other four, bound by ropes, were uncontrollably flung to the corner of the wall.
"The audience is in position. Let them witness the power of the Death Eater."
The Death Eater immediately attacked, unleashing a deluge of colorful spells once again.
"Grass!
"Let's have a one-on-one fight if you dare!"
Aaron cursed loudly, but his hands didn't slow down at all.
Suddenly, strands of orange-yellow energy appeared, forming a three-dimensional Magic Array flowing with mysterious runes, enveloping him within it.
All the spells vanished without a trace upon hitting the Magic Array, not even the Killing Curse made a ripple.
The Death Eater had never seen this magic before, were dumbfounded. Was this really a spell that a student who hadn't even graduated could play?
"What are you standing there for?" Barty Crouch Jr. scolded him angrily. "He can't hold this spell for long."
The Death Eater realized what was happening and immediately intensified their attack.
Aaron knew he couldn't keep defending forever. After withstanding a wave of attacks, he suddenly spread his magic, and the orange-red shockwave forced all the Death Eater back several steps.
"Hahaha..." Bellatrix laughed wildly, but her face quickly turned cold. "I never thought Hogwarts could produce such an interesting student."
"Gentlemen... don't even think about showing mercy. To avoid accidentally losing our lives, it's better to try and kill him."
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Antonin sneered, waving his Wand. "Avada Kedavra!"
Aaron dodged the Accio green light, but at that moment, several scarlet spells flew out from different directions, blocking his escape route.
"Protego!"
"Impedimenta!"
The Iron Armor Charm and the Shield Charm were cast one after another, and the invisible barrier barely blocked these spells, but in the next moment it was overwhelmed by more spells, forcing him to flee in panic.
"This is outrageous!" Aaron thought, feeling incredibly aggrieved as he ran. He gathered two balls of flame in his hands and shouted, "Dragon's Blazing Flame!"
A crimson vortex of flames spread outwards from him in layers, causing the temperature in the room to soar rapidly, and even the ground began to melt.
Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix raised their Wand to defend themselves, but many more Death Eater retreated frantically, escaping the flames' range.
Before they could even get their footing, a huge yellow Magic Array appeared beneath their feet.
The ground trembled violently, and countless spikes of earth grew wildly, surging towards the Death Eater.
They did not retreat, not only because the Dark Lord was watching them from behind, but also because their retreat speed could not keep up with the growth of the earth spikes.
"Bombarda!"
"Shattering Curse!"
Various colored spells, like laser beams, shattered the growing soil spikes, even outpacing their growth rate, and shot towards Aaron at the center.
"Tsk! A high-level Magic Array is still a bit of a stretch to deal with so many Archmage." Aaron chuckled self-deprecatingly, then lightly waved his black Wand.
The ground beneath his feet shot into the sky, carrying him away from the incoming spells. At the same time, an ice-blue Magic Array slowly rotated above the celestial platform.
"What is this thing again?" Bellatrix cursed.
"You'll find out soon enough." Aaron rubbed his hands together, and the Magic Array lit up instantly, unleashing a torrential downpour of countless ice blades.
"Defend!" Lucius shouted. "Defend now!"
Even without his reminder, the Death Eater almost instinctively raised their Wand, creating a shield above themselves.
The crackling sounds continued as the ice blades pounded against the shield, creating a powerful impact, but they were unable to break through the shield.
"Looks like it's nothing special," Mulciber sneered. "This level of attack power is no threat to us."
"That makes sense." Aaron raised an eyebrow, and the ice-blue Magic Array instantly shone brightly, summoning an ice block with a diameter of tens of meters.
Lucius watched the small iceberg about to fall from the Magic Array and rolled his eyes at Mulciber speechlessly. "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
"Gollum!" Mulciber swallowed hard. "Is this the time to talk about this?"
"Let's use the Shattering Charm together," said Barty Crouch Jr.. "Don't use the fire; the flames don't affect him."
"I won't give you that chance." Aaron flicked his fingers, and the iceberg's descent speed instantly increased several times over.
Ice shards mixed with gravel splashed across the ground, creating ripples.
Aaron jumped onto the iceberg, his brows furrowing slightly.
His attack seemed to hit, but it also seemed to miss; he simply couldn't believe that ten elite Death Eater could be instantly killed by his advanced elemental magic.
Click! Click!
Several cracks suddenly appeared on the iceberg, and several dark figures moved back and forth under the thick ice layer, seemingly unharmed.
"Fiendfyre?" Aaron murmured. "No, it was the Vanishing Charm that created the hole in the iceberg the moment it fell."
One, three, four, five... nine, where did the last one go?
"Guess?" A Wand suddenly pressed against the back of Aaron's neck. Barty Crouch Jr. said coldly, "You are a threat to the Dark Lord's grand plan. I personally think it would be better if you died."
Avada Kedavra!
A green spell suddenly exploded on Aaron's body. Barty Crouch Jr.'s lips curled up slightly, but the smile on his face instantly froze.
His back was being pressed against Aaron's Wand, while Aaron, who had just been struck by the Killing Curse, had been turned into a shattered ice sculpture.
"This story teaches us not to be too happy too soon."
"You..." Barty Crouch Jr. asked in surprise, "When?"
"I noticed the moment the Anti-Apparition Spell was removed," Aaron said patiently. "My familiarity with Apparition is definitely greater than yours, and my instinct for danger is also greater than yours. Most importantly, I'm quite good at Transfiguration."
"If you hadn't restricted the range of my Apparition, I would have run away immediately."
"If you dare kill me, the Dark Lord will definitely not..."
"I don't accept threats," Aaron interrupted without hesitation. "Sectumsempra!"
A terrible tearing sound rang out, and Barty Crouch Jr. let out a painful scream as red blood gushed from the gruesome wound, soaking his clothes.
"Tsk! It looks painful."
Aaron smacked his lips and prepared to make up for it.
He wasn't a saint; eliminating one enemy would lessen his pressure, especially since Barty Crouch Jr. had been incredibly ruthless when he used the Killing Curse on him.
So he didn't go for the kill directly because he felt it was too easy for Barty Crouch Jr. to die like that. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have been teleported to the Divine Thunder Hall long ago, instead of risking his life here.
Just as he raised his Wand, a shockwave several meters wide tore through the ice, forcing him back several steps.
Turning his head, he saw Bellatrix glaring at him with a furious expression.
"Um... could you stop staring at me like that? It's kind of scary."
Bellatrix glared at him fiercely, then transformed into black mist and flew into the air, followed by seven or eight black shadows.
They circled above Aaron, their fierce faces appearing and disappearing in the air.
The shadowy figures unleashed various spells, launching a continuous barrage of attacks with unpredictable trajectories.
"This one is too much."
Aaron chuckled and immediately turned and ran.
The curses came one after another like a storm, tearing the ground apart as easily as paper wherever they passed.
The Death Eater laughed triumphantly, and were about to press their advantage when they heard a hissing sound, followed by a sudden sense of impending doom.
A massive purple Magic Array appeared on the ceiling at some unknown time, with flashes of white and purple lightning constantly appearing, bursting forth with boundless killing intent.
"Retreat immediately!"
Lucius shouted and vanished in the blink of an eye.
The other Death Eater immediately followed the Apparition, and in the next instant, endless bolts of lightning plummeted down, illuminating the entire room.
The ground instantly turned into scorched earth, and the scattered thunderstorm spread rapidly. The hollowed-out iceberg shattered instantly. It was only because Voldemort saved Barty Crouch Jr. at the critical moment that he was able to save him; otherwise, he might have been buried alive.
A dozen seconds later, several dark figures flew out from the ruins made of ice shards, mud, and gravel.
The Death Eater landed on the ground with ashen faces, looking utterly disheveled. Two of them even had their arms hanging limply, emanating a strange smell of roasted meat.
Space can travel at speeds comparable to lightning, but human reaction time may not be able to keep up.
"They ran pretty fast," Aaron said sarcastically. "This was a lightning element Magic Array that I painstakingly concealed, and all I got was two arms."
"Damn it, don't be so arrogant. We just didn't mean to hurt you," Bellatrix said viciously.
"Then you haven't thought about a lot of things."
"Kill him!" Antonin roared madly, the first to use the Killing Curse, and the others also launched a fierce attack.
Aaron raised an eyebrow, calmly dodging while also raising his Wand to launch a methodical counterattack.
Seeing the situation was critical, Bellatrix slammed her Wand into the ground.
The underground pulse spread rapidly, and the spot where Aaron was standing collapsed a moment later, causing him to stumble and fall into the pit.
"Incarcerous."
"Flying sand and stones".
" To Sectumsempra."
The others immediately joined in, frantically throwing various spells into the pit.
The saying "Strike while the iron is hot" was perfectly exemplified.
However, no one threw the Killing Curse in. Such a powerful attack would mean certain death if one couldn't withstand it, but even if one could withstand it, one would be on the verge of death and would have no ability to fight back. This was exactly what the Dark Lord could do.
After a round of attacks, Luke Wood stopped casting spells. "That's enough!"
"I'm not so sure," Lucius said. "If he uses that defensive spell in time, he might be able to withstand our attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, a surging pillar of fire rose into the air from the pit, a burning red Magic Array flashed and disappeared, and countless cracks extended from the ground, with flames and surging magma suddenly spewing out from the cracks.
The Death Eater were caught off guard and deployed a magical barrier, but two of them were still burned by the flames and, like Barty Crouch Jr., lost their ability to fight.
Aaron stepped out of the pit, his body treading on flames. Apart from his clothes and hair being a little messy, he looked exactly the same as before.
He glanced at the seven people still standing opposite him with surprise, and gave them admiring looks without reservation, "As expected of the elite among the Death Eater, they were able to block this."
Mockery, blatant mockery.
At least that's how it seemed to the Death Eater; their faces darkened instantly, and they raised their Wand, unleashing their magic to the maximum extent.
Facing the seven magical rays that were shot at him, Aaron dared not be careless at all, and three large Magic Array of red, blue and purple were lined up in front of him.
The magic ray struck the Magic Array and showed signs of bouncing off, but before it could bounce off, it was completely suppressed by the Death Eater ' relentless attacks.
Although he blocked the immense magical power, Aaron was forced to retreat continuously by the huge impact and soon crashed into the high platform in the center.
"Hahaha..." Bellatrix frantically withdrew her attack. "You guys keep attacking, I'm going to kill him."
"Wait!" Lucius hurriedly stopped him. "If possible, spare his life. Master still needs him."
Bellatrix glanced at Lucius, tilted her head, and chuckled dismissively. "I know."
After saying that, Bellatrix Apparition to Aaron's left, "Weren't you very arrogant just now?"
"Gollum!" Aaron swallowed hard. "Trust me, it's better for both of us than for you to take action."
"Whether you survive or not is another matter," Bellatrix teased, then pointed her Wand at Aaron. "Cruciatus Curse ..."
Bellatrix stared wide-eyed in astonishment as she recited half of the incantation.
Aaron opened his mouth, and crimson flames shot out, rushing towards her at incredible speed.
"The Dragon's... roar!"
"Damn it!"
Bellatrix immediately Apparition to avoid the pillar of fire, which was several meters thick.
He didn't stop immediately; instead, he quickly turned his head and roared at the triple Magic Array with even greater force.
The fierce flames instantly leveled the advantage held by the six Death Eater. The red and light green beams of light collided, and the opposing magic caused jagged cracks to appear in the ground and the surrounding walls.
