Chapter 250 Crazy Strong, Weak Old Man!
When Harry opened the door with Parseltongue again, the two walked in carefully.
This place is no longer that small room, but turned into a huge palace by the Untraceable Stretching Curse.
A total of seven towering stone pillars formed a circle, and a door leading to the outside world was placed where the eighth stone pillar should have been.
There were a large number of torches hanging from the ceiling, and there was no movement inside.
But the moment the two stepped into the hall, there was a sudden wave of magic power on the torch, and the dark green flames ignited one after another.
There is a tall round altar in the central part of the circular hall, its whole body is made of gold, dotted with emeralds, and there are steps on the side facing the gate.
Those emeralds, like the emeralds on the Slytherin locket, were fashioned into snake-shaped "S".
Harry couldn't help guessing how many Death Eaters and Muggles' properties Voldemort had raided to create such a luxurious round altar.
And in the center of the round altar, a crystal pillar was erected.
The center of the crystal pillar exudes a green luster, and at the top of it is a transparent crystal box.
It can be clearly seen through the box that there is a gold ring inlaid with black gemstones in the box.
On that black gemstone, the pattern symbolizing the Peverell family is extremely clear, as if it has been re-polished by magic.
"It's really a luxury. The Horcrux of Voldemort is treated completely differently from the Horcrux of the Slytherin Locket."
Harry teased softly, but got no response from Professor Dumbledore.
At the same time, she suddenly noticed that Professor Dumbledore's breathing in front of him became very obvious and became more and more rapid.
Harry took a cautious step sideways while tilting his head to look at Professor Dumbledore.
At this time, Professor Dumbledore was staring at the black gemstone ring on the top of the round altar, and the indifferent smile that hung on his face every day disappeared.
What replaced it was a kind of indescribable... mania and joy!
He was laughing, laughing unscrupulously, his face was full of a smile that was about to reach his life goal!
But he was also crying, and tears fell from the corners of Professor Dumbledore's eyes, dripping on the ground, making a crisp sound.
"The resurrection stone, it's really the resurrection stone!" Professor Dumbledore seemed unable to control himself, stretched out his hand, and grabbed something in the void,
"Wait for me, Arianna, wait for me, I can revive you right away..."
Professor Dumbledore rushed over with a posture that didn't match his age, and didn't even observe whether there was still danger ahead.
Harley's face changed instantly, and the long hair and spider silk spread at the same time. If he wanted to drag the old man back, at least he had to stop it.
At the same time she shouted: "Professor, come back! There must be danger ahead!"
But Professor Dumbledore turned a deaf ear and still walked like flying.
When the spider silk and hair approached him, Professor Dumbledore even drew out his wand directly.
Golden flames spewed out from the wand in an instant, surrounding Professor Dumbledore's body.
The spider silk was instantly burned to ashes by the flames, and the hair didn't dare to come closer.
But this one-second delay was enough. Relying on the sensitivity of an assassin, Harry arrived in front of Professor Dumbledore in an instant.
"Get out of the way, Harry!" Professor Dumbledore's voice was extremely urgent, "Don't stop me!"
"Professor, we haven't studied that round altar yet." Harry shook his head and retorted loudly,
"There may be unknown risks on it, you can't approach it directly, you can't take such risks."
"Not to mention it's Voldemort's Horcrux, Professor."
"I don't know what the real face of the resurrection stone you are talking about is, or that the effect of the resurrection stone is really the same as its name, and you can use it to resurrect someone."
"But professor, please don't forget that we are here to find and destroy Horcruxes."
"It is quite possible that the Resurrection Stone has been defiled by Voldemort's soul and rendered useless."
As he said that, the black flames on Harry's hair began to jump continuously, as if ready to attack the Horcrux at any time.
But Professor Dumbledore was unmoved by Harry's reminder, and his eyes were even sharper:
"Impossible, there must be a chance, definitely!"
"And I can use it first, and it's not too late to destroy it later!"
"Professor!" Harry's voice was louder. "It's impossible for Voldemort not to play tricks around Horcruxes!"
"Think of Sirius' younger brother, Regulus! Think of your life, and your duties as Headmaster of Hogwarts!"
"Harry, you don't understand, you are still young, you can't possibly understand."
Professor Dumbledore's voice was suddenly not so firm, it could even be said to have become a little weak,
"To me, life is not important and death is not scary."
"I will not be afraid of Tom's curse. No matter what the price is, it is what I deserve, and I am paying for the sins I committed!"
"And even if something happens to me, you can destroy the Horcrux for me. One of the nemesis of the Horcrux is the venom of the basilisk."
"Minerva has been the vice headmaster for a long time, she has enough experience to manage Hogwarts well!"
"As for my death, that's what it should be. I deserve to die!"
"Now please get out of the way, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Professor Dumbledore spoke very fast, and his order and logic were still clear.
His slender wand was in his hand, and there was a powerful magic brewing in it.
"Looks like I have to wake you up, Professor Dumbledore." Harry suddenly smiled, "Professor, you probably can't imagine how strong I am now."
"Son, I know you are strong." Professor Dumbledore's voice suddenly became calm, "I can monitor every time you sneak into the restricted area."
"Phineas also told me that you have been reading in the Black family's library during the Easter holidays and learned a lot of powerful magic."
"But I want to tell you that the gap in strength between you and me cannot be bridged overnight, it takes years of accumulation."
Before he finished speaking, the golden-red flames surrounding Professor Dumbledore suddenly erupted, forming a phoenix behind him.
"One last warning, Harry, get out of the way!" Professor Dumbledore's eyes became firm again, and there was no emotion in his voice,
"If you don't get out of the way, then I can only knock you out, and then go to take off the ring."
"Then try it!" Although Harry was laughing, he was extremely annoyed.
Who is the Arianna that the old man is going to resurrect? His old lover? Otherwise, how could he be so persistent that he lost his mind?
Black flames and ice spears condensed and circled behind Harry.
At the same time, the ground is rapidly freezing, and the ice is white and flawless, reflecting the light like a mirror.
Professor Dumbledore didn't answer any more, just tapped his wand lightly.
A large ball of flames spit out from Phoenix's mouth in an instant, and the flames condensed into ropes in mid-air, trying to restrain Harry.
At the same time, the flame phoenix itself rose into the air and rushed towards the round altar, trying in vain to take the ring over from the air.
However, Harry took half a step forward, and then merged into the mirror and disappeared.
At the same time, a large amount of invisible spider silk spread out in the air, rolling directly towards Professor Dumbledore's surroundings.
The black flames and icy spears hovering behind Harry's back blasted towards the phoenix in midair, trying to disperse them.
Professor Dumbledore kept walking, and continued to walk forward. A new golden-red flame spewed out from the tip of the wand, which kept the spider silk out.
But the flame phoenix he condensed at will was also frozen by the ice spear, and then blasted into fireworks in the air by the black flames.
A light flashed across the mirror, and Harry's figure appeared from a spot where the spark had landed on the ice, with black flames flowing from his body.
Professor Dumbledore pursed his lips, but remained silent, and continued to move his wand up and down.
Suddenly the wind howled in the hall, and the golden flame rose again.
The two are entangled together, the perfect combination of weather spell and Professor Dumbledore's original fire magic, forming a fire tornado!
But the temperature of the flame itself is not too high. Obviously, Professor Dumbledore deliberately reduced its power.
The fire tornado roared and moved quickly towards Harry.
Before Harry could react in time, the fire tornado engulfed it and sealed it in the center of the tornado like a prison cell.
"I'm sorry, Harry." Professor Dumbledore said softly, "I'm really sorry."
"Professor, you don't have to feel sorry, but I should say sorry."
Harry's voice suddenly sounded from behind Professor Dumbledore, accompanied by a shrill scream.
A faint blue halo instantly emerged from behind Professor Dumbledore, turning the old man into an ice sculpture.
Of course, after returning to the demigod, Harley's control over the "Ice World" has once again been greatly improved.
So she just formed a layer of ice outside Professor Dumbledore's body, and the cold air would not invade the old man's body at all.
The previous "Harry" who was swallowed by the flame tornado was just an image created by Harry using "mirror illusion"!
And Harry himself used the mirror to shuttle, hid in the mirror space inside the ice, and quickly came behind Professor Dumbledore, launching the ice world.
The endless spider silk wrapped the ice sculpture in an instant, and black flames spread from it, melting the ice sculpture within a minute.
Professor Dumbledore was immediately wrapped into a huge cocoon, with only one head exposed.
"Professor, I'm very sorry, I can't let you take risks." Harry bowed slightly.
"Nice job, Harry." Professor Dumbledore's voice was full of praise, "You almost beat me."
"I don't think any Auror in the Ministry of Magic can beat you."
"Almost?" Harry asked subconsciously.
"Yeah, almost," said Professor Dumbledore softly. "Why do you think people are so afraid of Voldemort?"
"They don't know that Voldemort has Horcruxes and is immortal until the Horcruxes are destroyed."
"Then according to common sense, Voldemort is also a human being, wouldn't it be the same for a large number of Aurors to kill him if he used the Killing Curse?"
"So professor, why?" Harry asked following the old man's words.
"Because whether it's me, him, or some powerful wizard who once traversed Europe,"
"Our understanding in a certain field or several fields has almost reached the level of rules."
Professor Dumbledore's voice became more and more kind,
"For example, I have made achievements in the fields of life and transfiguration, while Voldemort has his own unique understanding in the field of death."
"Harry, let me teach you a lesson today."
"Let me teach you why we are the top wizards."
As he spoke, golden-red flames exploded from Professor Dumbledore's body, engulfing his entire body.
In the flames, a golden-red phoenix emerged, but Harry clearly realized that this was not Fox.
This is Professor Dumbledore!
Harry suddenly remembered that Halloween night, Professor Dumbledore asked about the patron saint of his mythical creature form.
At that time, he solemnly reminded himself that if you want to learn Animagus, you must be cautious.
And Harry still remembers that Professor Dumbledore's patron saint is the phoenix.
"Son, get out of the way, please don't stop me." Professor Dumbledore said, his voice was still in his other form.
But it seems that because of the influence of Phoenix itself, Professor Dumbledore's voice is inexplicably magnetic.
Harry didn't back down, and still stood there calmly.
She carefully looked at the phoenix in front of her. It was somewhat different from the mythical creature form obtained from Sequence Path to Sequence Four.
Ordinary people face the mythical biological form of extraordinary people on the sequence path, and their spirits will be seriously polluted and injured.
Of course, if you are lucky and survive, you can also gain a certain amount of knowledge.
Many believers of evil gods accidentally communicated with the evil gods through prayers, looked directly at the evil gods, and finally gained strength without being crazy.
But thinking about it is also correct, the wizard itself is the product of an extremely stable combination of the extraordinary characteristics of more than a dozen sequence pathways.
Its upper limit is only at the demigod level, and it is normal for mythical creatures to be weaker.
"Is this your trump card, Professor Dumbledore?" Harry said softly, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, and put them on lightly.
A lot of hints that Harley planted in her mind took effect, and her body also had green light flowing, densely packed mysterious patterns and dark and strange colors highlighted one after another.
Harley's figure also disappeared out of nowhere, replaced by a snake-tailed woman.
Harley's black hair also turned into dark green snake hair, with a lot of spider silk coiled around her.
Harley reveals her own mythical creature form, the fabled Medusa!
"I'm very sorry, Professor." Harry's voice was clear and sweet, "Maybe you still can't pass this level."
