Vaughn and Voldemort were both using jinxes, though their definition of a jinx was naturally different from that of the young wizards at Hogwarts.
In the eyes of many young wizards, spells like Densaugeo and Levicorpus might already qualify as jinxes.
But to Vaughn and Voldemort, only spells that could kill in one hit or leave someone crippled deserved that name.
Neither wanted to be struck by the other's magic. Voldemort was even more astonished to discover that this Weasley, who was only thirteen
years old, was stronger than any non-Legendary Wizard he had ever encountered!
His emotions and stamina seemed inexhaustible, and his mastery of every spell was extraordinarily deep.
But Voldemort was in no hurry. An insurmountable gulf separated Legendary Wizards from ordinary wizards. Even though he had only just been resurrected, even though he was no longer at his peak, he was still a Legendary Wizard.
Compared to Vaughn, he was far more wary of Dumbledore. That was why he had not gone all out, remaining constantly on guard against the Headmaster, who might appear at any moment.
Vaughn, on the other hand, was even calmer than Voldemort, because he had never expected to defeat the Dark Lord. His goal had been simple from the start: to use Voldemort as a touchstone to measure his current strength.
Apart from Legendary Wizards, he had never met his match in the English Wizarding World. His Magic Power Level continued to rise by the day, and he had yet to reach its upper limit. That made him practically invincible among non-Legendary Wizards.
At least, he had yet to encounter a worthy opponent.
Of course, that did not include the wizards of China. Although Cheng Quandao always called himself a Chinese prodigy, Vaughn had always felt that claim was rather inflated.
