While Dumbledore and Voldemort were locked in an indecisive battle, Silvan encountered the greatest trouble he had faced so far.
Hundreds of Death Eaters were making their way here by various means, and the first to arrive were undoubtedly the elite among them.
Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange landed first, followed by Lucius Malfoy, Alecto Carrow, old Crabbe, and old Goyle—
Crabbe and Goyle had nearly killed Silvan at Hogwarts. Now, their Death Eater fathers were preparing to do it themselves.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty different spells shot straight at Silvan. They came in every color, the most conspicuous being three blinding Killing Curses.
It was definitely too late to dodge now, and the Horcrux Codex had no way of blocking so many attacks from different directions at once.
It seemed Voldemort had learned his lesson at least once. Like the spell he had used before, it had no obvious trajectory and could not be detected by the Horcrux Codex; Dumbledore had only managed to block it by helping.
Likewise, the Death Eaters had gotten smarter. More than twenty spells came from different directions, completely sealing off every route of escape for Silvan.
Yet at that moment, Silvan lowered Silver Mane and voluntarily closed the Horcrux Codex floating in midair.
The next second, the locket on his chest suddenly sprang open without warning. At the same time, cracks began appearing in the air around him, intertwining like a massive spiderweb.
Just as the Horcrux Codex could absorb magic, and Snake Eye could use magic to imitate the Basilisk's curse, the locket, which had once been a Horcrux, possessed a special kind of magic as well.
