Sang Biao, You Hid Yourself Well

Although he had received the bad news that raising his magic power required more Fear Points, it was not all bad. Lester's Level 2 Fire Shield Charm was about to upgrade!

After the series of battles just now, Lester had killed quite a few Ministry of Magic Pure-bloods and Aurors with the Fire Shield Charm, pushing its proficiency to a historic high of 989 points!

Perhaps because the wizards Lester had killed were all powerful, each one provided him with a generous amount of proficiency.

Coupled with Lester's constant use of it lately, the Fire Shield Charm had already reached the brink of an upgrade.

"Time to strike back!"

Feeling the powerful magic power that had appeared within him out of nowhere, Lester's eyes gleamed with excitement.

He thrust both hands forward, and the Fiendfyre Barrier, which had been trembling under the barrage of Killing Curses, suddenly became solid once more.

The terrifying Killing Curses struck the Fiendfyre Barrier without causing even the slightest ripple.

"What?!"

Seeing that his Killing Curses had all been blocked by the Fiendfyre Barrier, Yunus's face flashed with surprise.

After all, he had become one of the Ministry's highest-ranking officials not merely through his extensive connections, but through his formidable strength.

The Wizarding World still respected the strong. Since Yunus was the superior of every Auror in the Wizarding World, his strength was naturally not to be underestimated.

In his view, apart from those old professors at Hogwarts, there were few people in the entire Wizarding World who could still be his opponents. Yet now, he had discovered someone capable of contending with him!

How could he not be shocked?

"Perfect opportunity!"

Seeing Yunus commit such a grave mistake on the battlefield—actually spacing out in the middle of a fight—Lester immediately seized the chance to press his advantage and struck without hesitation.

"Fiendfyre, burn!"

Lester used one hand to release Fiendfyre before himself, forming a barrier to block the Pure-blood officials' attacks, while his other hand clenched sharply toward Yunus.

At that moment, Lester's immense magic power erupted in full, forming a gigantic Fiendfyre Palm.

The wide-open Fiendfyre Palm appeared directly around Yunus, then clenched down, tightly grabbing the still-dazed Yunus in its grasp.

"Go!" The instant the Fiendfyre Palm seized Yunus, Lester viciously hurled him toward the room's wall. At the same time, he swiftly raised his wand and fired another terrifying stream of Fiendfyre along its path.

Caught in Lester's dense Fiendfyre Palm, Yunus could not break free at all. He could only watch helplessly as he was flung away.

Bang!

After a deafening boom, a hole half the height of a person was smashed through the room's wall. At the same time, the entire Ministry of Magic shook violently.

Yunus was hurled straight through that half-person-high hole.

His entire body was thrown into the nearby office of the Accidental Reversal Squad.

Because Lester had attacked so ruthlessly, Yunus flew several hundred meters after being thrown from the room before crashing hard into the wall at the other end of the Accidental Reversal Squad's office.

The violent impact kicked up countless clouds of dust, and the wall Yunus had struck trembled three times under the tremendous force.

"Holy shit!!!"

Lester's sudden counterattack instantly stunned everyone present.

The victorious smiles that had been hanging on the Pure-blood officials' faces froze completely when they saw the powerful Yunus being thrown away so easily.

At the same time, the prisoners who had already prepared themselves for death showed the joy of surviving a calamity.

They knew it. Lord Lester would never let them down!

At that moment, Lester paid no attention at all to the shock of the others. There was only one goal in his mind now: kill Yunus!

Lester brought his hands together, then shoved them forward sharply.

In an instant, an enormous mass of Fiendfyre shot from Lester's hands, racing through the hole Yunus had smashed open and charging fiercely toward him.

The moment the flames appeared, the temperature throughout the office rose considerably. Many wizards were drenched in sweat from the scorching heat.

"Damn it!"

Yunus, who had just been smashed away, watched the terrifying Fiendfyre rush toward him. A flash of crimson passed through his eyes.

"Protego!"

Facing the oncoming Fiendfyre, Yunus hurriedly raised his wand and cast a white protective shield before himself.

Boom!!!

The terrifying Fiendfyre and the sturdy shield collided violently in midair. Accompanied by an earth-shaking blast, a massive shockwave rapidly spread outward from the point where they met.

The powerful shockwave not only sent Yunus flying once more, but also shattered the wall between the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes and the Accidental Reversal Squad, connecting the two offices that had once been separated by a wall.

It was not over yet. Seeing Yunus flying through the air, Lester's eyes brimmed with killing intent as he clenched his right hand at empty space.

A moment later, a flaming whip made of blue Fiendfyre appeared in Lester's hand.

Crack!!!

Lester raised his right hand and violently lashed Yunus with the Fiendfyre whip.

At once, the sharp whistle of tearing air and the sizzling sound of flames filled the entire room. At the same time, the Fiendfyre whip struck Yunus viciously.

Yunus, who had nearly reached the ground, had his trajectory forcibly changed by the whip's attack. He was sent flying again and slammed hard into a nearby wall.

The poor wall was smashed open again, leaving another hole half the height of a person.

After suffering repeated heavy blows, Yunus slumped weakly against the corner like a rag doll.

His originally splendid noble attire had been burned full of holes by the Fiendfyre, turning it into little more than beggar's rags.

At the same time, his ornate wand with golden patterns had been shattered into two pieces by the Fiendfyre. It had become useless trash, casually discarded on the ground.

At that moment, Yunus looked utterly miserable.

"Sang Biao, you hid yourself well!"

Infinite killing intent filled his crimson eyes as Yunus stared at the culprit who had wounded him. He said word by word, "I never thought you had hidden yourself so deeply. Even I was deceived by you."

"However, it should all end now. You should regret betraying me!"

Yunus, whose eyes had remained closed, suddenly opened them wide. A sharp gleam flashed through them as a powerful black aura erupted from his body, enveloping him completely.

At the same time, a terrifying presence gradually radiated from him.
