Chapter 272 Xie Ling's Weakness

"That's all," Xie Lin's tone was cold and a little disdainful, "I thought you had some powerful tricks up your sleeve? It turns out they are just four shadow demons--"

"Shadow demons are created by using necromancy magic to sacrifice captured ghosts. It is a second murder of the dead, so it is considered a taboo and rarely made public. It has become a legendary existence in the eyes of many ordinary wizards..."

"Although they are rare, they are far from being truly top secret to me--" Xie Lin continued, "I don't believe you don't know. With my friendship with Eleanor, you know nothing about shadow demons. What gave you the confidence to think that a mere shadow demon could threaten me?"

"Forget it, you better tell me," Xie Ling said coldly, "Do you have any last words?"

"Last words?" Little Barty laughed and cried, "With your origin, your family background, your reputation, and your strength--"

"You can definitely become a person who stirs up the situation in this era, you can definitely become a leader who unites our pure-blood family, lead our pure-blood family to glory, and leave a reputation second only to the Dark Lord in the history of wizards. Now--" Little Barty showed a mocking smile and sarcastically said, "You ask me about last words? You can't bring yourself to kill people, right?"

There was no expression on Xie Ling's cold face, but there was indeed a slight fluctuation in the depths of his eyes.

Little Barty was right. Although in the past, some people died because of his schemes and arrangements, or in battles with him, such as Kingsley Shacklebolt and Gilderoy Lockhart, strictly speaking, they did not die directly at Xie Ling's hands.

"Although I don't want to admit it, what you said is actually true," Xie Lin took a deep breath, "You may think I am ridiculous and childish, you may even think it is unreasonable, but ah-"

"You know, I have never been a person who likes killing, and I have no ambition to become a great figure..." Xie Lin blinked his eyes, soothing his dry pupils, and whispered, as if he was talking to Little Barty, who had nothing to do with him, but in fact it was more like talking to himself: "My original intention of pursuing power was just to be able to protect the people around me-"

"If it weren't for the shadow of the dragon taking away May... If it weren't for the Death Eaters' intention to start a war, they would drag my family into the quagmire of war..." Xie Lin raised his head, his eyes sparkling , "I don't care about your life-and-death fight with Dumbledore. We may not even become enemies-"

"But, there is no "if" in the past..." Xie Ling's momentum suddenly increased, and the texture on the wooden body of the Night Thessal wand faintly emitted a golden light, "The experience of the past few years has made me understand that escape cannot solve any problems-"

"Whether it is the shadow of the dragon or you and the Dark Lord," the light of the wand increased little by little, and the dragon roar sounded in the void, "Today, you have blocked my way..."

Before this, Xie Ling originally wanted to kill Barty Jr. with his own hands just to fulfill his promise to Mr. Barty Crouch Sr.-

But now, this has become a test for him to strengthen his original intention.

"Yes, if I were to kill the first person in my life today, I would like to know his last words." Xie Lin's eyes no longer showed any hesitation. "I just want to know, what is so good about the Dark Lord that is worth giving up your family affection and making you cruel enough to kill your biological father who raised you... Have you never regretted it in your heart?"

"Regret? Hahaha..." Little Barty laughed so hard that tears came out of the corners of his eyes. He inexplicably remembered-

When he first learned to call dad, the eager expression on his father's face...

When he first learned to walk, he fell to the ground and nestled in his father's arms, crying and crying...

When he was 11 years old, he finally received an owl letter after much anticipation, notifying him to go to Hogwarts. When his father gently touched his head and said that his son had finally grown up...

Then the scene changed, he made friends with a mixed-race family. When his Ravenclaw girlfriend was severely reprimanded by his father...

He discovered the mystery of black magic and began to learn it secretly, trying to find out why black magic can enhance magical power, and had a big quarrel with the old man...

He received a report card sent by owl. He passed 12 certificates in the OWL exam and ranked first in the whole grade. The old man sent a brief and perfunctory congratulatory letter by owl, coldly saying that he had to work overtime at the Ministry of Magic and had no time to go home to celebrate with him. As a result, he and his mother silently faced a table of cold dishes...

He wiped away the tears that had already flowed all over his face, and shouted to Sherin excitedly with a smile that was uglier than crying: "I will never regret it, never!"

"I understand..." Sherin's Legilimency was fully activated. From the drastic emotional changes of little Barty, he had understood the cause and effect.

This is a tragic character who suffered a similar fate to Draco in the original book. There is still a trace of kindness in their hearts. However, Draco grew up with love and family affection, which allowed him to be influenced by Dumbledore at the last moment and let the light in his heart defeat the darkness.

Little Barty's growth process was different from Draco's. He gradually lost his family affection in family disputes one after another, and finally chose to sink into the darkness in his heart. His tears and shouts were just his last struggle before choosing to bow to the darkness. Even if he starts things over again, he will eventually fall into the darkness——

He was hopeless.

"I can only sympathize with your experience, and now -" Xie Lin's eyes were indeed full of sympathy.

"Please go on your way!" Xie Lin raised the wand in his hand and said firmly: "Avada——"

"Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a moment, wait a minute, wait a minute,"" Little Barty was so painful that he could only gasp for breath, but there was a trace of pride in his eyes that shouldn't be there, "If you really kill me, you will definitely do it. regrettable!"

"Is your brain burned out?" Sherlin was a little impatient with this dialogue. Little Barty was seriously injured and couldn't even stand up, and he also didn't have his wand - his wand had been exploded by himself. The curse was shattered into pieces, and Schelling was confident that even if Ollivander took action with the Elder Wand himself, there would be no way it could be repaired.

As for the four shadow demons, it is true that the shadow demons are difficult to deal with in the dark maze. The main reason is that they blend into the darkness and are difficult to detect, and if you want to attack them, you must cast magic against spirits. Also, they are very good at escaping through walls. They are at home in an environment surrounded by trees and walls. Only they attack people. They have no part in being attacked.

However, shadow demons cannot fly, they have no means of leaving the ground, and they have no means of long-range attacks. Xie Lin, standing in mid-air, was already in an invincible position.

The shadow demon cannot pose even the slightest threat to Xie Lin.

Xie Lin was not going to waste time listening to his nonsense anymore. He continued to concentrate all the magic power in his body, trying to complete the release of the killing curse. The end of his wand began to light up with a green light, "——Bite the big melon!"

"Look at this!" Little Barty threw a long object, which fell ten feet away from him and rolled on the ground.

Xie Lin's pupils shrank violently, and with a flick of the wand in his hand, a dazzling green light suddenly shot into the open space a foot away from Barty Jr., blasting a big hole.

He recognized the thing.

That's Hermione's wand!

"Hahahahaha..." Little Barty looked at Xie Lin's gloomy face. How could he not know that his plan had succeeded? He endured the pain and laughed crazily, "Hahaha... cough, cough..." Excessive Crazy laughter pulled at his injuries, causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood again.

"What the adult said is indeed correct..." Little Barty said proudly, "Everyone has a weakness, the only difference lies in how to find out that weakness..."

"Your weakness is that you are too emotional..." Little Barty said with a sneer, "Honestly, if it hadn't been for that adult's suggestion, I really wouldn't have thought of this. To be honest -"

"You really don't deserve to be a member of the Malfoy family!" Little Barty said disdainfully: "Whether it is a pure-blood family or an ancient aristocracy, none of them are full of blood - killing mothers, patricide, and brothers fighting against each other are just ordinary things. What's wrong, here, feelings have become your Achilles' heel! This is really... hum!"

"In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I have long noticed the unusual relationship between you and that mudblood... so I specially arranged for you two to be in a group, just to confirm my suspicion..." Little Barty sneered. Said, "It's okay for you, you know how to hide your true feelings. I don't see any obvious clues in you, but -"

"That Mudblood, Miss Granger, hehe," little Barty grinned and said, "She has exposed too many flaws. The way she looks at you contains such strong emotions, even if I am... Even without using Legilimency at all, you can see it——"

"She likes you, right?" Little Barty shook his head gently and said: "And although you are extremely indifferent to her on the surface, your interaction with her reveals your heart - you never refuse She never hurt her! You like her too, right? Hahahaha!"

Xie Lin almost broke his own teeth——

asshole! What the hell is Dumbledore doing!

Why were students kidnapped under his nose, especially the people around Harry who received the most attention!
