Crouch's Death (Revised)

William had encountered Avada Kedavra on several occasions.

The most thrilling time was when Tom controlled Harry and almost killed him from behind.

From then on, William became exceptionally cautious, even when the wizard beside him was "one of his own."

It's fair to say that Tom taught him a lot. Of course, the tuition was also quite expensive.

William killed Tom twice and used the trumpet to tarnish his reputation everywhere.

Since seeing Crouch appear, William has been on high alert.

Then, finally, the incredibly tricky Killing Curse arrived.

The green light wasn't aimed at William, but at Crouch.

Before anyone could react, William had already raised his right hand, and the chair behind him jumped up, blocking the green light.

An attack from the reeds—someone wants to kill to silence witnesses!

William stared at the snow-white reeds and said quickly:

"Wearing Invisibility Cloak or using Disillusionment Charm."

Hermione immediately understood. She raised her wand and said, "Revelio!"

This spell can make someone visible, even if they are shrouded in Invisibility Cloak or Disillusionment Charm.

"Found it." Her wand spun around and suddenly pointed in a certain spot.

Without her saying a word, William had already raised his wand again.

The reeds on both sides danced wildly without wind, and invisible wind blades instantly filled the sky and earth.

A wizard, completely shrouded in a gray Invisibility Cloak, was forced to emerge from the reeds.

William raised one hand, and the severed reeds formed a rain of arrows, spreading out in a fan shape, aimed directly at the wizard who was hiding his face.

With a twist of his hand, the gray-robed wizard unleashed a thick black mist that corroded the arrows as soon as they reached his side.

He gripped one end of the wand, then suddenly pointed it at the ground, and a beam of light shot out, violently blasting up a large patch of thick earth.

Dust billowed up all around, and he twirled his wand again, the black liquid falling into the soil and suddenly shooting towards William.

William chuckled and easily unleashed a blue beam of light, shattering the obscuring dust and simultaneously blasting the Dark Magic contained within it to smithereens!

Dust filled the air, shooting outwards, and the soil, mixed with black liquid, corroded and created countless pits upon landing.

After the blue light exploded, it scattered wildly, creating several crisscrossing trenches.

Krum was dumbfounded.

Such power in just a few exchanges!

Krum knew William was famous, but he had never seen him fight before. Seeing it with his own eyes today, he realized... how terrifying he was!

Granger, whom he had always admired, now seemed far inferior to the Stark!

Krum glanced sideways at Hermione, whose eyes were now fixed on Stark, clearly unable to see anyone else.

Krum was somewhat distraught.

Sometimes, it's not that you're not good enough, but that your opponents are too strong... that kind of chasm-like gap makes it impossible for you to compete!

Krum turned his head again and quietly glanced at William's back.

To be honest, if he were a girl, she would also fall for this kind of wizard.

Well, he's starting to feel a bit unsettled.

William was unaware that Krum had a tendency to be gay. He waved his wand, and magic shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun, the white light blinding.

The gray-robed wizard lightly touched the ground with his toes and retreated hastily.

The curse descended with overwhelming force, carrying unparalleled magical power, blasting a crater two to three meters deep at the spot where it landed.

William, not one to back down, casually waved his wand, causing the Black Lake to ripple like a giant ocean wave crashing against its surface.

He thrust his wand downwards, and the lake water, like a cascading silver river, surged and overwhelmed the grey-robed wizard.

The grey-robed wizard was unable to escape and was trapped in a water prison formed by the lake.

William clenched his left hand tightly, and more than a dozen water spears appeared in the water prison, shooting towards the gray-robed man.

In the face of life and death, the gray-robed wizard flicked his wand, unleashing a spell that blasted open the water prison.

He tried to escape, but the water spear still struck him in the back.

The grey-robed wizard, enduring excruciating pain, suddenly transformed into a wisp of black smoke, resembling a giant bat from afar.

The dark figure abandoned William, enduring the injury to its back, and headed straight for Crouch. Judging from its stance, it was unable to defeat William and intended to kill Crouch first.

William sneered, turned around, and the water prison transformed into a giant sword, slashing down from the sky.

As the giant sword rolled and lunged at the gray-robed wizard, he finally succumbed to fear and dodged to the side.

But William's wand trembled, and the water sword still fell, slicing his legs apart and creating a huge crack in the ground.

The grey-robed wizard screamed in agony, ignoring his severed legs, and immediately flew into the sky.

Flying magic... This is the first time William has ever seen anything like it.

But don't worry, we also have flying devices.

William immediately pulled out his Flying Cloak, ready to give chase, when Crouch suddenly shouted again.

William stopped and turned around.

Crouch collapsed to the ground, his eyes bulging out as he stared at William and roared:

"I... escaped... I must warn... I must tell... I need to see Dumbledore... It's all my fault... It's all my fault... Bertha... is badly injured... It's all my fault... My son... It's all my fault... Tell Dumbledore... Stark... the Dark Lord... grow strong..."

Crouch was about to say something when his mouth suddenly shut.

He felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his neck, lifting him into the air.

But Crouch's posture was very elegant, with his arms outstretched, like Vitruvian Man.

His gray hair was whipped about by the fierce wind, his eyes were closed, and his face was expressionless.

Crouch's eyes snapped open, veins bulging on his face. He tried to scream, but his mouth was sealed shut by some force.

His eyes widened even further.

Snap!

Those eyes fell from their sockets, like ripe persimmons falling to the ground and scattering.

Crouch is dead.

He is completely dead.

He died before he could say what he wanted to say.

Krum seemed terrified; he hid behind William, clutching his collar, and collapsed to the ground.

Hermione drew her wand and tapped it lightly in mid-air, gently lowering Crouch's body down.

Hurried footsteps approached, Dumbledore strode over, followed by Professor Snape.

Both of them were utterly shocked by what they saw.

Snape's face was grim, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Dumbledore down, trying to examine Crouch's body.

"It's a curse," Hermione said immediately. "Someone has put a curse on him, preventing him from revealing some secret."

"If I try to speak out, I will die."

Dumbledore squinted, looking at Hermione in surprise.

"Yes, it's a curse, a very powerful curse." Dumbledore stood up.

"Let's go, everyone, to my office."

Dumbledore looked at Crouch's corpse and sighed. He raised his wand high, and a silver phoenix spewed from it.

It flashed across the sky.
