The Final Battle (Part 2)
Hahahaha...
Riddle let out a series of maniacal laughs, causing Xiwen to frown.
"I've never felt so relaxed in my entire life." He finally stopped laughing after a long while, speaking with a somewhat morbid slur. "I should have gotten rid of this cumbersome body long ago!"
"But you also abandoned the most outstanding bloodline talent among wizards. Don't you feel any regret?" Xiwen frowned.
"Don't you think that compared to immortality, these external things are insignificant?" Riddle retorted dismissively. "Besides, I realized long ago, when I began studying the souls of wizards, that physical strength is not true strength; the strength of the soul is true strength!"
"Rozier, you so-called 'gentleman' probably don't want to make Horcrux, so you'll never experience the wonder of controlling multiple souls!"
Xiwen's lips twitched, and his expression became somewhat inscrutable.
Controlling multiple souls isn't all that wonderful... is it?
Just as Riddle was reveling in his new life, a commotion elsewhere interrupted their thoughts.
On the distant battlefield, after a probing attack, Dumbledore and Grindelwald seemed to realize that sharing the same wand could not unleash their full power, let alone contend with the invincible Death.
Therefore, Dumbledore chose Grindelwald, who was more familiar with the Elder Wand, as the main attacker.
He used a masterful Human Transformation, transforming into a golden-red firebird engulfed in flames, which carried Grindelwald into the fire and reappeared behind Death. Then Grindelwald raised the Elder Wand and unleashed a deep blue spell that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth, sweeping towards Death.
Xiwen had suffered greatly from this curse at Père Lachaise Cemetery.
At the same time, the Phoenix that Dumbledore had transformed into breathed out a burst of flames, imbuing the spell with a bright flame that dispelled the darkness.
"As expected..." Xiwen curled his lip as he watched this scene. "Back in first grade, he lied to me, saying that his Human Transformation was just a facade and didn't have the magical abilities of Phoenix at all. Now he's been exposed."
But despite the complaints, the fight still has to happen.
"Let me see your strength after you've abandoned your physical body, Riddle," he said, turning to Riddle.
"Of course." Riddle smirked. "Give it to me. We agreed."
Xiwen nodded slightly and took out a semi-transparent wand from his Pocket Watch Space and handed it to Riddle was also semi-transparent.
This is Ghost Artifact made by Flamel.
Riddle grasped the transparent wand, nodded in satisfaction, and then floated toward the battlefield where the two great wizards were fighting against Death.
Xiwen watched him leave, he said softly, "Aurelius, it's time."
A black, wispy mist, blending seamlessly with the darkness of the Death's Dimension, gradually condensed and coalesced into the form of a pale-faced young man.
"I understand." He nodded to Xiwen, then transformed into a cloud of black mist and surged toward the towering figure of Death.
Xiwen had known all along that the Dark Barrier in the Death's Dimension could only restrict the flow of magic or mana, and could not have a strong effect on other forces.
Therefore, overcoming the suppression of this barrier is not limited to directly confronting it with an anti-barrier.
Besides their innate magic, wizards naturally possess other undiscovered powers.
For example, there are powers derived from bloodlines, such as the power of the Maledictus Blood Curse within Xiwen and the power of the Obscurus under the control of Aurelius; the power of the soul, such as the soul restored by Helena and the power of the Horcrux made by Riddle; in addition, the power of Death himself is also unrestricted, such as the energy borrowed from the Death's Mark within Elshiona, or the power used when fighting against the Deathly Hallows made by the Three Peverell Brothers.
Xiwen utilized almost every conceivable condition, which led to the current situation where numerous top wizards are fighting against Death together.
He took a deep breath, and a pair of pure white wings appeared behind him.
Xiwen flapped his wings and flew towards Death!
Besides those systems that are immune to Death's influence, there is another, even more transcendent power that surpasses the Death's Dimension—
That is the power of Eternity!
While summoning wings using his bloodline power to fly, Xiwen formed hand seals.
The next moment, a vast starry sky suddenly appeared from every corner of the world, illuminating all the dark places.
Dumbledore's Transformation, Grindelwald's fire, Riddle's curse, Aurelius's Obscurus, Helena's spell, and the wizarding alliance's desperate efforts to stop the Death's Army... all of this drew upon almost all of Death's power.
When the Eternity starry sky and the boundless universe pressed down on Death, this powerful Demon God only had time to use all his strength to push away the many wizards around him, and then tore open a spatial rift in preparation to escape from this dimension.
In order to escape, he exhausted all the negative energy he had absorbed for hundreds of years without interruption. It was precisely because of this outburst that Dumbledore and the others had no strength left to stop this figure from leaving.
"You can't hurt me, and I will naturally return a thousand years from now!" Death still turned back to deliver those harsh words.
"I can wait, but you can't!" he shouted angrily.
Xiwen manipulated the power of Eternity, watching helplessly as half of his body stepped into the spatial rift, unable to accelerate the release of this uncontrollable spell.
At this critical moment, a witch with long silver-gray hair suddenly appeared beside the spatial rift.
She waved her hand, revealing an invisible Invisibility Cloak features.
The Cloak kept changing in the air, growing larger and larger, until it finally transformed into a transparent sphere of light, enclosing the already weakened Death Reaper within it.
She was Miranda, who had been wearing Invisibility Cloak since the start of the battle and had been secretly observing the entire fight!
Seeing Miranda bind Death with her Invisibility Cloak, Xiwen finally smiled with relief. Then he suddenly slammed the starry sky, representing Eternity, onto Death's somewhat illusory figure.
"No!!!"
Death roared in resentment, but was ultimately swallowed up by the power of Eternity, turning into countless black fragments that slowly dissipated into the boundless starry sky.
In this dimension, countless animals and corpses with bloodshot eyes were suddenly frozen in place, as if Immobulus. Then the red light in their eyes faded, and they collapsed helplessly to the ground, motionless.
As the starry sky faded, the dark mist gradually dissipated with the movement of the stars, and a ray of light pierced through the clouds, gradually brightening the world.
Xiwen squinted, half-shading his forehead with one hand, adjusting to the brighter, more colorful world.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald landed on the ground, exchanged a glance, and smiled knowingly.
The people of the Wizarding Alliance were stunned for a moment, then erupted in thunderous cheers.
They embraced each other, tears streaming down their faces, shouting and yelling, each expressing their excitement and joy in their own way.
All of these actions convey a clear and distinct meaning—
We won!!
