Total Victory
Phoebe gripped her wand nervously. She was surrounded by four malevolent wizards, all emanating a powerful aura of Dark Arts. They were clearly not to be trifled with, and they kept circling around her, with one of them always facing her from behind, preventing her from launching an attack.
She had volunteered to participate in this mission, and during her year-long journey at Hogwarts, she had truly come to know the magical power of this new ally of her family, as well as the power he represented.
She knew very well that Great Britain was just the beginning, and all of Europe would soon be drawn into a turbulent and earth-shattering vortex. If she wanted to secure a place for herself and her family in that future, befriending this young man Skylar Sheryl Malfoy would definitely not be a wrong choice.
Now, she suddenly realized that she had been too idealistic. She believed that she was among the top three graduates in Beauxbatons, and that her Veela bloodline would give her an advantage when facing opponents of the opposite sex.
Unexpectedly, the difficulty of this task far exceeded her imagination—a whole month of living outdoors and traversing mountains and valleys countless times in remote and impoverished areas almost pushed her to her limit. As a young lady from a prestigious France aristocratic family, she had never experienced such hardship before.
That's bad enough, but now we're facing a huge and powerful group of mysterious black wizards.
In just one exchange, their trio was broken up by the enemy.
She witnessed Hagrid being besieged by eight dark wizards. The fierce battle triggered a small avalanche, knocking Hagrid off a cliff, and the dark wizards gave chase. Madame Maxime reacted quickly, launching an attack before the enemy could act, engaging twelve dark wizards in a fierce battle. However, she was unable to focus on anything else and, while fighting and retreating, she lost contact with Phoebe.
As for herself, because she was still young, she seemed to be underestimated by the enemy, who only sent four people to deal with her. She couldn't care less about fighting and chose to turn around and run away from the beginning. She managed to hold on until now by using the various terrains for cover.
"Look, look—good heavens, how could they bear to leave such a lovely girl like you here all alone? Do you know how the Giant would tear you apart alive if they caught you?! Hahahaha—" a black wizard laughed evilly.
But the laughter stopped quickly because Skylar arrived.
Four mere black wizards were no match for Skylar.
Skylar brought so many people with him for two reasons: first, to prevent being attacked by Giant, and second, to capture them all without exception!
Voldemort is now a lone commander, so the only ones who can recruit Giant for him here are his newly made allies— the Shadow of the Magic Dragon or Walpurgis!
Skylar could see clearly from above that the enemy only had 24 people on the field. Even if there were more enemies hiding in the shadows, there wouldn't be many. His side had almost twice the number of the enemy, which made him even more confident in his goal of annihilating the enemy in this mission.
"Is it funny?" Skylar's mocking voice rang out, and at the same time, four beams of red light arrived almost simultaneously—
"Protego!" The dark wizards used the Shield Charm to deflect the evil curse back, and a spark from the collision of spells illuminated Skylar's cold face.
"Another little kid? Hahahaha..." The laughing black wizard was still laughing wildly, oblivious to his impending doom.
"Stop, stop laughing, I recognize him—" another black wizard said cautiously, slowly backing away as he spoke, revealing his fear of Skylar. "Damn it, what's he doing here?"
The other two black wizards quickly realized what was happening and joined the retreating group.
"Who are you talking about? It's just a little kid." The usually smiling black wizard was puzzled by his companions' sudden fear.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Skylar Malfoy," Skylar said, a signature wicked smile playing on his lips. "May I ask if you are from the Shadow of the Magic Dragon or from Walpurgis?"
Four dark wizards fell to the ground. Before Skylar could Killer the final blow, they were killed by the backlash of their own Dark Arts. Judging from the magic they used, they were most likely members of the Shadow of the Magic Dragon.
That's perfect; we can settle the old score about Meredith's abduction today.
"Are you alright?" Skylar looked at the still shaken Phoebe and asked gently.
Phoebe's long, silver-gold hair was slightly disheveled by the night breeze, and the warmth of the recent battle still lingered on her cheeks, but her bright blue eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Skylar.
"Skylar," she lowered her head, took a deep breath, composed herself, and then looked up, "Thank you for saving me. Just now, I thought I was going to die."
"I should be the one thanking you," Skylar smiled. "If it weren't for the alliance between the Delacour Family and me, you wouldn't have needed to put yourself in such a dangerous situation."
"Are these dark wizards... Death Eaters?" Phoebe looked at the four corpses on the ground, unable to imagine how this boy, who was two or three years younger than her, could have killed them so easily in such a short time, and how he had acted with almost no hesitation in the fight, showing no resistance whatsoever to killing.
"They're not Death Eaters, but they're far more dangerous than Death Eaters," Skylar shook his head, then continued, "It's not safe here. The Giant are still fighting. We should leave as soon as possible— Mr. Delacour has arrived too; we must meet up with him."
Then, ignoring the blush on Phoebe's face, Skylar took Phoebe's hand and used his Apparition to disappear.
On the other side of the battlefield, Hagrid and Maxime finally reunited, but both were already wounded and exhausted, with no strength left to search for Phoebe. They could only seize a rare opportunity to Apparition and escape.
"Damn it, we were so close, and they managed to escape." A dark wizard said with regret. They had just cornered Hagrid and Maxime, and if it weren't for their innate magic resistance due to their Giant bloodline, they would have been defeated long ago.
"It's alright, they've run away, they're not our main target. The Giant are." Another dark wizard, who appeared to be the leader based on his robes, said calmly and indifferently. Then he asked, "What happened to the Giant?"
"Chief, the Giant are still fighting, but Golgomath has gained the upper hand. It's only a matter of time before Karkus is defeated... Once Karkus is dead and Golgomath becomes the new Gurg, then our mission will be complete," said the previous dark wizard.
"Very well, let's go take a look. If possible, we can also help Golgomath finish the battle faster so we can go back and report sooner," said the black wizard known as the leader. "Who goes there—"
Suddenly, a large group of wizards appeared out of the snow, all dressed in identical black wizard robes, but with different badges draped over their left shoulders. They outnumbered the black wizards by more than double, and their positions subtly surrounded them.
The dark wizards immediately sensed something was wrong. The Disillusionment Charm was no ordinary spell, and those who could use Disillusionment Charm in this desolate place was hardly a good thing.
These people didn't exchange a single word with the dark wizards. From the moment they appeared, they launched an extremely fierce attack. Every wizard seemed to be going all out, without holding back in the slightest, as if they were determined to annihilate them all here in a short time.
"Damn it! You despicable attackers!" The dark wizards were caught off guard and could only yell and curse, but their wands were clearly struggling to keep up.
"Who are you people? Why did you attack us right away!"
Do you know who we are?
Don't let me find out who you are!
"Stop! Can't we talk this over?"
You... you're asking for it!
"Fight them!"
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!
"..."
But no matter how much they talked, this group of mysterious wizards remained silent, focusing on their attack, and as time went by, their attacks became increasingly fluid.
"Ah..." With screams of agony, half of the original 20 black wizards were dead.
Seeing the critical situation, the leader shouted, "We can't hold back any longer—everyone, kill them!"
The wizards present had never heard of the term "annihilation," and they were all stunned, their movements unconsciously slowing down.
They soon learned what annihilation meant.
The remaining black wizards simultaneously unleashed extremely powerful black mist, transforming themselves into clouds of black fog that violently crashed in all directions.
The wizards who were surrounding them had never seen such magic before, and they were thrown into disarray. Their tight encirclement was broken in an instant, allowing the remaining dark wizards to escape.
This magic that transformed them into black mist was obviously unsustainable. After breaking out of the encirclement, the dark wizards quickly reverted to their original forms, but their cloaks were tattered, and the fallen hoods revealed their true appearances.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Morganton," Skylar said slowly as he approached, his cold tone carrying a chilling undertone.
Indeed, after these dark wizards revealed their true colors, the identity of their leader was finally exposed. He was the very culprit who had infiltrated the Greengrass Family and kidnapped Meredith!
"Run!" Upon seeing Skylar, Morganton knew in an instant that things were going to get bad and told his companions to Apparition and escape.
"What's going on?" The group waved their wands, only to find themselves still standing in the same spot.
"Damn it—it's the Anti-Apparition Charm!"
Skylar laughed coldly, "You didn't actually think I'd overlook such a simple spell as Apparition, did you? -- Mr. Morganton, it's rare to see an old friend again, why are you in such a hurry to leave --"
"Stay here, all of you—" Skylar's deep, emotionless voice rang out, as if pronouncing a death sentence for these people. He violently swung his wand, and a five-meter-high black Fiendfyre Blaze erupted from the ground, forming a blazing wall of fire that trapped the members of the Shadow of the Magic Dragon within. As the circle of fire slowly shrank, the dark wizards inside, knowing they could not escape death, transformed into black mist once more and charged towards the wall of fire, attempting a desperate fight to see if they could break through.
With a loud "bang," the black mist that hit the wall of fire exploded and was then engulfed by the flames.
Only one person remained inside the wall of fire— Morganton, who stood alone with a look of despair on his face.
"Mei," Skylar closed his eyes, refusing to look at Morganton again, as if muttering to himself, "I've already avenged half of your grudge."
Morganton let out a scream as black flames slowly began to burn him from his feet until he was reduced to Ashes.
At this moment, all the wizards present, including the usually arrogant warriors of the Silver Spear, looked at Skylar with awe.
In this battle, they successfully annihilated all 24 people sent by the Shadow of the Magic Dragon.
According to Bahaza Bole's intelligence, the Shadow of the Magic Dragon's Flower Group had about thirty members. To lose two-thirds of them in one fell swoop is a significant blow to the Shadow of the Magic Dragon's power, following the Battle of Little Hangleton Graveyard.
