Completed Task Three

Whew!

Within the raging flames that engulfed both Little Hangleton and Great Hangleton, a Thestral, glowing green, raced about, as if searching for something.

Its green eyes shone with an all-seeing green halo, and the "eye" in the middle of its wings began to pulsate, emanating a chilling aura of death.

Boom boom boom!

A vortex of flames swept outwards, and a golden-red Phoenix soared in the center of the vortex.

With a terrifying roar, the Thestral- like monster flew toward the vortex, creating a cacophony of sound.

The Phoenix flapped its wings, and the flames transformed into a thick wall of fire.

Sizzle!

The green aura emanating from the monster's blood vessels formed a thin film, keeping the flames at bay.

The throbbing third eye pulsated with a deep, deathly aura.

The deathly aura that could kill an ordinary creature with a single touch became the source of this monster's power.

This keeps the membrane on the monster's body in a constant state of damage and repair.

As the monster drew closer, the Phoenix flapped its wings more and more violently.

But the monster grew faster and faster until it became nothing more than a blur.

These flames seemed to have unleashed the divine power of its third "eye".

Koji!

The dragon-like head burst through the wall of flames and bit down hard on the Phoenix's neck.

A mournful yet elegant bird song rang out, the Phoenix's wings stopped flapping, and even the fiery magical aura surrounding it gradually faded away.

"It's time!" The voice rang out, and the monster released its grip, realizing something was wrong.

From the opposite direction of the sound, Phoenix Harry emerged from the flames, his golden claws tearing off the monster's third 'eye'—a black stone!

The moment the stone detached from the monster's body, the monster turned into smoke.

The black stone began to move, breaking free from the Phoenix Harry's claws, and flew towards the ground.

The stone stopped on the ground, and the surrounding flames automatically moved away, revealing the blackened ground.

A curled-up human body slowly emerged from the ground.

Drink, drink, drink!

Harry started to breathe heavily.

He was actually sucked out of the ground by the rocks!

The stone emitted a dark light, no, or rather, it transformed.

It entered Harry's body along with the light.

A heart-wrenching pain kept surging from Harry from where the light had entered.

In his final moments before fainting from the pain, Harry looked up at the Phoenix still soaring in the sky.

Then—the flames that stretched from the two towns transformed into thin threads, flowing into the belly of the Phoenix with its mouth open.

As the flames subsided, the Phoenix glanced at Harry below and flew into the sky.

Boom! With a loud bang, a beautiful firework appeared in the sky.

"Ugh!" Harry struggled to cover his forehead and opened his eyes.

The charred ground was gone. He was now in a dark, overgrown cemetery.

On the left, you can see the black outline of a small church behind a tall yew tree, and on the right, a hill.

How long was he unconscious?

It's already dark. Where is he now?

Great Hangleton or Little Hangleton?

However, he did not dwell on it further.

Because, in his retina, Task 3 has already been marked as completed.

A stream of information welled up from his heart.

That was the magic that protected the Horcrux in that room.

"This is unbelievable!"

"I know where the Resurrection Stone is now!" Harry couldn't help but exclaim.

Without a doubt, what he had just held was the Resurrection Stone.

The Resurrection Stone in the mirror.

That Mirror Beasts is the embodiment of the magic Voldemort used to protect his Horcrux.

That's amazing.

In the real world, it is an ingenious, vicious curse.

In the Mirror World, it formed a terrifying creature.

Harry wasn't overly surprised.

His attention was quickly drawn to the information.

It's fair to say that Voldemort's magic protecting this Horcrux was truly powerful.

Because, in fact, Harry could easily destroy the magic protecting the Horcrux in Little Hangleton in the real world just by using destructive power.

But he couldn't do that.

He discovered that it was a complex curse, as unpredictable as a Rubik's Cube.

If you try to break the curse by force, it will only transform into another form of banishment magic.

That is, the Horcrux itself will go to a place that Voldemort himself does not know when the magic is activated.

Moreover, under the influence of that magic, the Horcrux would inevitably arrive at a desolate place, deep underground.

Obviously, Harry can't do that.

Therefore, Harry could only break through this complex curse layer by layer.

The most disgusting thing about this curse is that it always makes you think you've broken it.

If you accidentally touch Horcrux, which is a ring inlaid with Resurrection Stone, it will invade your body and burn your life force.

Harry couldn't help but rub his forehead.

This magic is too complicated. Not only is it complicated, but it also changes depending on the person's attempt to break the spell.

It can be described as living magic.

Harry blinked, and sure enough, a new quest appeared on the quest panel.

And it was exactly as he expected.

Task Four: Unravel the spell protecting the Horcrux

Note: If you can't break the spell, you can't get the Horcrux, and the Resurrection Stone on the Horcrux will be out of your reach.

"This is too difficult," Harry couldn't help but lament.

Even though Harry already had the blueprint for that magic, Harry still found it complicated.

For other spellbreakers, the first challenge in dealing with this magic is how to break it without making it more complicated.

But for Harry, who has the answer, it's about controlling every bit of his magic just right.

It must be done in one go, without interruption.

This point is also stated in the task instructions for Task 4.

As long as he can write an article of one hundred words in one go on a piece of tofu (or pudding) using the Cutting Curse.

His control over magic was sufficient to unlock the magic protecting the Horcrux.

Harry sighed and decided he had to work harder recently.

He conjured a pool of water and disappeared into it.

"You guys!" Harry was completely bewildered.

He discovered that he was surrounded when he stepped out of the room through the glass window.

Damn it!

He forgot that it was already night.

He's been gone for so long!

Before him stood the Weasley family, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, and even Dumbledore.

"Harry, you went to the Mirror World?"

Where did you go through the mirror?

"Didn't I tell you not to use that dangerous magic?!"

"Harry! Why didn't you take me with you?!"

"Harry!"

Harry looked utterly desperate.

He knew he had really messed things up this time.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at Smith Castle, Ryan was beaming with joy.

"Kate, this is much more interesting, isn't it?"

"There's a battle!" Ryan waved his hand casually, and the image on the wall disappeared.

Peter Pettigrew's soul, once again under the control of the Supreme God, became tirelessly the beast of burden, nourishing the castle.

"Didn't you say that the Phoenix Metamorphosis was useless?"

"What was that just now?!" Kate's eyes widened.

Penelope looked at Ryan with a smile.
