Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 423

c407 The Red Priest is the original priest, the original demon

Five minutes later, all the wands stopped casting spells and fell to the ground, not a second more, not a second less.

Beedle waved his hand, put away all the wands on the ground, and then walked towards the direction of the Death Hall without looking back.

He wants to leave some traces in the Death Hall and erase some traces.

This is a delicate job.

Wherever Beedle walked, orange flames suddenly burned.

The flame did not spread, but burned quietly, and then extinguished automatically after certain traces were removed.

…

After a ceasefire of three minutes, the Aurors, led by Professor Dumbledore, formed a defensive formation and cautiously walked through the corridor.

The Aurors had already noticed that the other side seemed to have given up resistance, and no spells came for a long time.

But no one dared to be careless. After all, five minutes ago, the other side suddenly ceased fire for fifteen seconds.

At that time, everyone was talking a lot. At the tenth second of the ceasefire, a bold Auror thought that the opponent was tired and was resting, and his opportunity came, so he rushed forward.

Then… just as he was about to reach the end of the passage, he was directly blasted to the wall by a large number of stun spells, and he was still lying dead in the middle of the corridor.

This made the other Aurors who were about to move decisively stop and realize that this was a trap.

Therefore, the continued ceasefire this time was naturally regarded as a trap by the Aurors.

After waiting for three minutes, Professor Dumbledore personally propped up the magic barrier at the front and led the Aurors in to find out.

When they saw the empty living room, all the Aurors had the same idea – they had been tricked!

The previous fifteen-second ceasefire was not used as bait to fish for law enforcement to catch a few unlucky guys, but to let the Aurors form an inherent impression:

A ceasefire is not a retreat by the other side, but a trap deliberately laid by the other side.

And that group of mysterious intruders probably took advantage of this inherent impression and took the opportunity to evacuate the living room!

“Search the Department of Mysteries carefully!” Scrimgeour issued an order to all Auror teams.

“The Department of Mysteries has only one passage to the outside world, and it is covered with an anti-Apparition spell.”

“There’s no way those intruders could escape!”

“Go find the Silent Man first.” Professor Dumbledore reminded,

“The opponent has not used the Death Curse before in the battle, which shows that they are not too crazy thugs. Then the Silent People should still be alive.”

“Go and find out if the other party has kidnapped all the Silent People. The Department of Mysteries is too mysterious, and the Aurors need the Silent People to lead the way.”

Scrimgeour also reacted and quickly modified the order.

Fortunately, Kingsley soon found the unconscious Silent People in a warehouse used to store experimental items.

They were just knocked down by a stun spell, not even their memories were wiped.

However, these silent people could not provide much information. After all, these researchers did not have much combat power, and they were knocked down directly after meeting the group of intruders.

Only a silent man who stayed in the laboratory and was finally knocked down could provide a small amount of useful information.

He remembered that the group of intruders all wore masks, but the leader did not, and he clearly remembered their appearance.

As for why this group of invaders entered the Department of Mysteries, what their purpose was, and where they have escaped now, the Silent People are unable to provide any more information.

Scrimgeour arranged for two Aurors to lead the Silent Man who had first-hand information back to the Auror office, record the information for wanted purposes, and then assign search items.

The Aurors acted extremely quickly. After all, many senior officials from the Ministry of Magic had already arrived at the Department of Mysteries from a safe place to conduct on-site inspections.

Soon, they got bad news.

The Aurors found a large number of wands around the stone arch in the Death Hall. The flashback spell detected a large number of petrification spells, stun spells and other common combat magic from the wands, and they were used not long ago.

It is certain that these are the wands of the invaders.

Minister Fudge’s wand was not found among these wands, and Fudge was not among the group of silent people and had disappeared.

After hearing these reports, all the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic present fell silent.

Professor Dumbledore went to the Death Hall in person and stood far away from the door and paced for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

The black curtain on the stone arch moved automatically in the wind, as if inviting Professor Dumbledore to come in and take a closer look.

Behind the stone arch, Beedle was sitting on a chair by the window of a certain room, leisurely admiring the scenery outside the window, holding a cup of fresh black tea in his hand.

On the street below, many pedestrians were walking slowly. However, there seems to be something wrong with these pedestrians. They are all bones from the head down.

Beedle turned a blind eye to this and showed no strange emotion.

His group of men had disappeared by now.

The strange thing is that Beedle has a new wizard robe on his body, a robe embroidered with the appearance of his men.

At this time, the robe was slowly burning in the air, and the rules established on it with flesh and blood were wailing.

…………

Very far away from the Ministry of Magic, in the North Sea, over the island of Azkaban.

Harley is examining the various abilities brought to her by the extraordinary characteristics of the “Doomsday Witch”.

The core ability of the Doomsday Witch is “Doomsday”, which does not just mean creating natural disasters and bringing doomsday to a certain area.

More importantly, this ability can be used point-to-point against a certain creature or item to force its lifespan to end.

When using it at full strength, Harley felt that the doomsday witch like herself, who had already digested one-fifth of the potion, was even confident that she could drag the entire British Isles directly into the doomsday, causing the island itself to collapse and die.

And if all the potions are completely digested, the scope of Harley’s ability can be at least doubled.

Another brand-new ability that the Doomsday Witch brings to Harley is the “Witch’s Touch”, an ability to temporarily create a witch.

After being promoted, Harley has been able to turn part of the spider silk into black tentacles with eyes (don’t think about it, it’s not the author’s fault, this is how Chick did it in the original novel).

When using this ability, even if an ordinary stone is touched by a specialized tentacle, it will continue to twist, stretch out its limbs and head, and turn into a large or small, beautiful-looking woman.

Yes, these women are all witches, and they have the extraordinary abilities of witches below sequence five.

However, this ability will consume Harley’s own strength to a certain extent, and the number of witches created is limited, and they will automatically return to their original form after the tentacles disappear.

In addition to these two abilities, the power of other natural disasters controlled by Harley has also been greatly improved, and the extraordinary abilities have evolved to varying degrees.

The ability to become a witch didn’t make Harley care too much. Harley focused more on the first ability.

This doomsday ability reminded Harley of her ultimate goal, the old natural disaster and root cause of destruction corresponding to the dual paths of the Witch Hunter.

And if this old world takes another step forward and accommodates the other three paths plus a uniqueness, it can become a more powerful existence——

The fourth pillar.

The birth of the fourth pillar means destruction, existence will split, and lead to the end and restart of everything. The five sequences it occupies are also the five sequences that must be obtained when first awakening.

If these five sequences are mastered by the same being, even if it does not fully accommodate the pathway and only exists in the form of an incomplete fourth pillar, it will result in the initial inability to awaken.

This also shows the importance of these five pathways and the fourth pillar.

As for the ability of the Witch Path… Harley felt that the meanings represented by the Doomsday of Sequence One and the Original and Fourth Pillar of Sequence Zero were so similar.

She inexplicably remembered the diary of Emperor Russell.

After seeing the astonishing entry “Witches taste so good”, Harley once threw the diary into the bottom of the suitcase, unwilling to face it at all.

But later, Harley finally turned it out and interpreted it bit by bit.

As she expected, most of these records were extremely dirty and depraved, recording the corrupt life of Emperor Russell.

Harley believed that if Emperor Russell took the same witch path as himself, he might be able to digest it faster than himself in Sequence Six.

And if he chooses the alien path and joins the sensual sect… Harley really feels that she can’t imagine how quickly Emperor Russell will be promoted!

But this is not the point. Although these records are a bit colorful, there is still some useful information after all.

And Harley discovered a very useful diary, which recorded an organization.

This organization is so mysterious and powerful that its name cannot even be mentioned in words, and the way it gathers was lamented by Emperor Russell as a “miracle.”

This diary only records a piece of information that Emperor Russell overheard during a certain member gathering.

The message was only a few sentences long, but Harley was particularly impressed by it:

When the members of the assembly discussed the names of Sequence Zero, they mentioned that the personalities of almost all the names of Sequence Zero were high enough to appear otherworldly.

Only the Sequence Zero “Red Priest” of the hunter path is particularly unique, not so stylish, and can even be said to be very rustic.

Hermes, the founder of human mysticism, was actually still alive at that time and was also a member of the party.

He believed that the “red” in “Red Priest” refers to the red of war, and priests can be understood as sacrificers of the essence of power.

However, an unknown member objected, believing that the “Red Priest” refers to the original priest of the Creator.

Emperor Russell himself was more inclined to believe Hermes’ statement, but Harry was particularly impressed by the unknown member’s statement.

Especially Harley himself knows that the dual paths of disaster are so important to the beginning, and they must have extraordinary significance.

The Red Priest and the Original Witch are parallel and adjacent paths.

If the red priest refers to the priest of the original creator, then the original witch…could it refer to the saint of the creator?

Is it because of this that the original witch’s power is particularly unique?

After all, the original witch not only symbolizes the feminine in yin and yang, but also seems to be a weak fourth pillar, controlling the end and the beginning.

Harley didn’t think about it again. After all, no matter what, he would be put back to sleep in the first place.

So what if she is really the saint? Harley is not willing to be inferior to others!

After finishing his review of himself, Harley quickly withdrew the double altars that were responsible for defending against external interference, and covered up the tributaries of the River of Eternal Darkness below, making them appear to ordinary people as a stream pouring in seawater. Big hole.

After completing all this, Harley used the mark of the witch.

Within a few moments, there was a wave of phantom magic power in the sky.

After directly summoning a meteorite to hit Azkaban Island, the anti-Apparition spell here has been completely removed.

After Rita appeared, she was about to kneel on the ground to say goodbye, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.

Why is there nothing under my feet and the sound of wind is all around me?

“Ahhhhh!” Rita suddenly realized that she was falling rapidly!

“Stop screaming.” Harley rolled her eyes angrily, and a ball of wind carried Rita flying up.

“Master…Master.” Rita lowered her head and greeted Harry respectfully.

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Harry flying out of thin air without any help of a broom or even a wand, and when she was able to fly with him, she lowered her head a little more.

“Do you still recognize this place?”

Rita quickly raised her head and looked around, shaking her head in confusion: “Master, I have never been here before.”

“Then let me tell you the answer.” Harley snapped her fingers lightly, “This is Azkaban.”

“Oh, it turns out to be Azkaban.” Rita nodded subconsciously and flattered Harley a few words.

“Let me tell you why the surrounding environment is so familiar. You are indeed very skilled in magic. You can even… you can… in wizard prisons like Azkaban…”

Rita suddenly couldn’t speak anymore because she realized that the environment here was a million times different from what she had imagined.

Rita once tried to sneak into Azkaban. After all, this is a famous wizard prison, and there must be all kinds of big news buried in it.

Unfortunately, the protective magic here was too strong, and Rita did not successfully sneak in, but only flew around in a circle.

But the environment here… looks different from the Azkaban Island in my impression!

“Yes, your memory is correct.” Harley looked at Rita playfully, “This is the wizard prison in your memory.”

“Then Master, is it your power that makes this place become what it is now?” Rita carefully considered the words.

“Yes,” Harry nodded, “Voldemort came to rob the prison tonight, and Professor Dumbledore was entangled in the invasion of the Ministry of Magic.”

“So I accepted Professor Dumbledore’s commission to come here to stop Voldemort.”

“I had a fight with Voldemort, and the aftermath of the battle accidentally destroyed Azkaban.”

“I asked you to come because I hope you can report on this battle…”

Listening to the news that contained such a large amount of information, Rita had a grimace on her face and did not dare to answer.

“…I hope you can tell the people in the wizarding world that Voldemort was killed by me.” Harley looked at Rita, “Can you do it?”

Rita didn’t answer, her brain completely shut down at this time.
