Plan to Reinforce the Seal

Like a turbid river flowing into a clear blue sea, it was assimilated by the vast, clear current in no time. The deep black, misty energy slowly came into contact with the fluid-like Invisibility Cloak and gradually became clear and transparent.

The moment the Invisibility Cloak sensed this dark energy, a bright, crystalline light suddenly flashed across it.

"Was there any movement on the Invisibility Cloak just now?" Xiwen asked the people next to him after pausing for a moment.

"I saw it too, it looked like a flash of light," Dumbledore nodded and said.

Seeing the change in the Invisibility Cloak, the Dark Knight moved for the first time since entering the Headmaster's Office, his feet seemingly rooted to the ground. He slung the greatsword that was standing on the ground over his back and then quickly floated to Xiwen's side.

"Do as I say, transform the Invisibility Cloak into its concealed form," he said in a deep voice.

Then, the knight began to explain to Xiwen the methods and key points of controlling the Invisibility Cloak, and extended his hands, which were completely covered by armor, to personally demonstrate the key points of casting the spell to Xiwen.

Amidst the Dark Knight's grating, metallic voice, Xiwen gradually grasped the knack.

With one hand connected to the Dimensional Demon God, he manipulated the misty energy borrowed from the Demon God, while with the other hand he made a gesture to activate the Invisibility Cloak, controlling the Demon God's energy to flow continuously on the Invisibility Cloak.

The transparent, liquid Invisibility Cloak of invisibility gradually transformed into something else under the influence of magic.

The hem of the garment is rolled up, and the hood of the Cloak is rolled down, connecting with the hem of the garment. After the top and bottom are joined together, the two openings of the Invisibility Cloak are also merged together, gradually changing shape.

The transparent fabric condensed and shrunk into a sphere the size of a fist, just the right size to be held in one's hand. The completely transparent fabric, which was previously colorless, also transformed into a crystal-clear white after condensation, like a piece of exquisite and warm white jade.

"Is this the form the Invisibility Cloak takes as Deathly Hallows?" Xiwen raised his right hand, cradling the sphere in his palm, and stared at it as he asked.

Looking at the fist-sized sphere, the Dark Knight shook his head in disappointment.

"The power you've borrowed is clearly only similar to the power of Death; it doesn't seem sufficient to fully control this Deathly Hallows," he said to Xiwen. "The Invisibility Cloak in its complete form can transform into a tiny sphere the size of a candy; the size you have in your hand probably can't unleash the Deathly Hallows's full power."

"Is that so?" Xiwen looked down at the fist-sized sphere, wondering how it could be improved.

Dumbledore clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "Being able to control it at least is a big step forward, isn't it?"

"That's true." The Dark Knight nodded slightly. "Using the Invisibility Cloak's ability to seal off spaces on a small scale shouldn't be a problem."

"So, it's now considered a Deathly Hallows that can perform some of its functions, right? Then can we use it to reinforce the seal of Death?" Headmaster Dippet suddenly asked.

"If the seal can be reinforced, even if it only delays the final battle with Death by a year or two, the world situation might be much better after this great war that has engulfed Wizarding World and Muggle World comes to an end."

"If it's just to buy us a few years, it should be fine." The Dark Knight thought for a moment, then gave an affirmative answer. "And it will also give you some time to find other Deathly Hallows, so it should be a very feasible option."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Headmaster Dippet waved his hand, his eyes narrowing, as if he had regained the heroic spirit he had when facing Death. He said loudly, "Once we've all recovered enough, we can go and reinforce the seal on Death, thus avoiding any worries during this world war!"

Seeing that Headmaster Dippet seemed inclined to leave at any moment, Dumbledore silently poured cold water on his idea, saying, "Armando, I don't think we know where Death is..."

At this point, the two of them simultaneously turned their gaze to the Dark Knight, who was struggling with where to put his hands now that he no longer had his greatsword.

Sensing their gazes, the Dark Knight stiffly crossed his arms, then shook his head solemnly, producing a heart-wrenching metallic scraping sound.

"Even you don't know where Death is sealed?" Headmaster Dippet asked, frowning.

"I am merely a sinner burdened with immense sins, not an omniscient and omnipotent prophet," the Dark Knight said.

"The duel between the three brothers and Death took place in this world. By the time I regained my sanity, the eldest and second eldest brothers had already passed away, and the youngest brother hid in Invisibility Cloak, making him impossible for anyone to find. Under such circumstances, how could I possibly find out the location of Death's seal?"

The Dark Knight's words immediately dampened Headmaster Dippet's newly risen sense of pride, making the wrinkles on his face appear even more pronounced.

"Perhaps we really have no choice but to face Death head-on," he sighed deeply and shook his head.

Just then, Xiwen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he swiftly drew a circle in front of him, opening a golden Dimensional Gate. Behind the portal, four long tables laden with metal cutlery could be vaguely seen.

"Strange, what are you planning to do?" Dumbledore asked in surprise, watching Xiwen's actions.

"I'll go see if I can find the location where Death is sealed away!!"

The Great Hall at Hogwarts.

It was late at night, and only a few candles were still burning in the Great Hall, their light flickering and unable to illuminate the vast and spacious Great Hall.

The enchanted ceiling remained translucent, drawing down the faint light of countless stars and bringing a silvery starlight to the Great Hall, making it as clear and bright as still water.

At this moment, a young ghost dressed in an exotic style was floating above the middle of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff table. In his hand, a golden magic circle was glowing, and mysterious and profound runes were slowly circling within it.

The young man floated up and down, looking around at the remaining spatial fluctuations, glancing at the magic circle from time to time, as if he was trying to find something in the air.

Below the young man, three other people formed a triangle.

An old man with a white beard and white hair was staring at a middle-aged man with a reddish-brown beard and hair, while at the other corner of the triangle stood a strange ghost covered in black armor, its hands resting on the hilt of a greatsword, standing silently.

"Is it ready yet, Strange?" Dumbledore looked away from Headmaster Dippet, waved to the sky above the Great Hall, and called out to the young ghost floating above.

His voice echoed through the empty, silent Great Hall, reverberating endlessly.

As Dumbledore echoed, Xiwen floated down from the sky and landed in front of the group on the ground.

"I think I've figured out where Death opened the spatial rift. If I want to go there, I can open a portal anytime!" he said excitedly to Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet.

"That's great!" Headmaster Dippet breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then let's set a time to reinforce the seal of Death together."

"Will three days be enough time for you to get back into shape?" he asked.

"Of course, no problem!" Dumbledore laughed.

"It's settled then. See you at the Headmaster's Office at noon on Friday, three days from now!"
