"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Bell waved his hand, ignoring the old butler's advice, and continued walking forward without stopping.

Just kidding, he didn't come here tonight to watch a blockbuster. This kind of opportunity to "confront" Voldemort is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, okay? He's not going to miss it!

"At least, at least let me go with you."

Seeing that his Young Master had no intention of changing his mind, Sebas had no choice but to back down. He made up his mind: even if it meant death, he would never let his Young Master lose a single hair!

"Goodwin, you stay and command. Make sure the barrier is activated and the attack is launched as quickly as possible!"

Following behind Bell, Sebas turned around and stopped Goodwin from following as well.

Everyone's gone, who's in charge now?

Snap! Snap! Snap!

As he strode out of the dark woods, Bell couldn't help but applaud when he saw Voldemort had created a Magical Arm for the Egypt wizard.

Voldemort truly lives up to his Voldemort; even in his weakened state, he can still unleash such exquisite and powerful magic. He truly lives up to his name.

Who are you?

Voldemort stared intently at the two uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared with a sinister gaze.

He had sensed and detected the other person before they even emerged from the woods. However, he took no action.

Having been successfully resurrected, he is now fearless!

... except for Dumbledore.

Therefore, he was very interested in finding out who the other person was and what their plans were.

"Good evening, great Voldemort, we just happened to be passing by..."

"Killing Curse!"

A dazzling green light flashed across the sky, and Voldemort, without a word, cast the Killing Curse on Bell.

"No one may address the great Dark Lord by his name!"

A cruel smile spread across his lips; the long-awaited opportunity to kill with his own hands filled him with immense excitement.

However, before Voldemort's smile could fully bloom, an unexpected scene before him froze his expression on his face.

"How is this possible! How could you possibly block the Killing Curse!"

Voldemort was astonished to see Bell completely unharmed after the dust and smoke had cleared.

"That's really rude of me. I'm so used to calling you that that that that I forgot to change it without even realizing it."

"And besides, have you been dead for too long and your brains have dried up? Can't you see how I blocked the Killing Curse?"

While offering a half-hearted apology, Bell mocked Voldemort.

Calling it mockery might not be entirely accurate. Bell was genuinely surprised that Voldemort would ask such a foolish question.

Indeed, the nature of the Killing Curse makes it impossible to defend against.

The moment the Killing Curse comes into contact with the wizard's magic, it will directly attack the wizard's soul through the connection between the magic and the wizard, tearing it apart.

Therefore, defensive Curses such as the Shield Charm are not only ineffective against the Killing Curse, but may even hasten the wizard's death.

But this doesn't mean the Killing Curse is unsolvable. There are no unsolvable Curses in this world, only unsolvable powerful beings.

Aside from some inherent flaws in the Killing Curse itself, such as its difficulty in casting, there are at least two ways to deal with an attack using the Killing Curse.

The first method: Dodging.

People who do this are usually already finished...

Just kidding, how could a wizard with such a small frame possibly dodge the speed at Curses travels?

Of course, using Flying Shoes is a different story.

Generally, when dodging Curses, wizards use magic to deflect the incoming Curses, and then combine this with their own movement to successfully dodge Curses.

As mentioned earlier, the Killing Curse will kill a wizard once it comes into contact with their magic.

Therefore, using the Magic Deflection Killing Curse is tantamount to suicide.

In conclusion, to dodge the Killing Curse, you either need to use magical items like Flying Shoes to help you move, or you need to use Curses like Side-Along Apparition to dodge (provided that the casting speed of Side-Along Apparition is faster than the casting speed of the opponent's Killing Curse).

Otherwise, you can only pray that the other side misses the target.

As for the wizard who successfully casts the Killing Curse, what are the chances that he might miss the Curses?

Well... shouldn't everyone have some ideals?

The second method is the Bell just used.

After realizing he was being targeted, Bell prepared to respond to any attack at any time.

When it comes to Voldemort, the first thing that comes to mind is the Killing Curse.

Therefore, it's not hard to guess what Curses Voldemort will use to attack next.

The instant Voldemort raised his Wand and uttered the incantation, Bell's Wand also appeared in his hand.

He quickly flicked the tip of his staff upwards, and an Earth Wall instantly appeared in front of him.

Then, after the Earth Wall took shape, Bell immediately severed the connection with the magic within the wall.

As we all know, the physical damage of modern rule-based Curses is almost negligible.

Therefore, after the Earth Wall Bell had hastily Transfiguration was destroyed, the Killing Curse also dissipated into the air.

He rubbed his chest; the feeling of being forcibly severed from the external magical energy was really not pleasant.

"You, you, you're courting death!"

Voldemort pointed at Bell in a fit of rage, his hand holding the Wand trembling slightly.

Of course, he wasn't helpless against Bell. It was just that one of his Killing Curse had been blocked; he had other methods to make Bell regret ever being born.

The problem is, this is a time of great unrest. Voldemort was well aware of his current predicament.

He is still not out of danger!

Why did he have to endure his weakness and immediately summon the Death Eater the moment he was resurrected?

It's all to establish his authority, to deepen the Death Eater ' fear of him, and to extinguish any remaining hope in the hearts of these traitors!

Otherwise, do you really think he's stupid?

He's just crazy, okay? Crazy and stupid are not the same thing!

Now, facing this ant that appeared out of nowhere, he couldn't even kill it cleanly and instantly. Where did that leave his dignity as the Dark Lord? And what would his Death Eater think of him?

If people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead this team!

"Ahem! Well, don't be angry, let's talk this out. I'll apologize and admit my mistake."

Bell came out to draw Voldemort and the Death Eater ' attention, not to fight Voldemort one-on-one.

He didn't think he could handle Voldemort right now, even if it was just a weakened Voldemort.

Not to mention, there were dozens of traitors on the other side... cough cough, Death Eater, glaring at him menacingly.

Therefore, when it's time to back down, you shouldn't hesitate!
