Chapter 833 The End of the Old Era

Ivan hesitated for a moment and did not take action immediately. He believed that there was no need to continue the battle at this level.

But Dumbledore obviously didn't think so. He waved his wand again with a calm face, and the stone bricks of the collapsed wall were quickly built up...

A six-meter-tall stone giant rose from the ground, exuding an indescribable momentum. The soles of its feet formed by the base of the stone platform were extremely heavy. It stepped on the broken floor tiles, leaving obvious marks, and rushed towards Ivan. .

Ivan didn't intend to waste too much energy on a deformed creature. He casually pointed his wand, and the headless python, which had half of its body blown off on the ground, raised its body again. The long snake tail hit the stone giant with all its strength. Staggered.

What's even more weird is that under the influence of magic power, the python's exploded head grew back again. Four sharp fangs pierced deeply into the stone giant's shoulders, and the huge snake body rolled up directly.

The two behemoths rolled to the ground and became entangled...

Ivan was indifferent to this contest between deformed creatures, and his eyes were always focused on Dumbledore.

He knew that only one of them would be able to walk out of this church alive today!

"Shattered to pieces!"

After a brief confrontation, Ivan was the first to break the silence. A slender beam of light flew out from the tip of the staff and flashed in mid-air.

Perhaps because he needed to be distracted to suppress the injury on his right hand, Dumbledore did not waste his magic power to create a shield this time. Instead, he picked up a fist-sized piece of gravel on the ground to block the incoming curse beam.

"Crucio! (Crushing out the bones)" "Petrificus! (All petrified)"

Ivan's continuous attacks did not leave Dumbledore even a chance to breathe, and soon forced the opponent to the point where he could only defend.

Dumbledore was like the most dexterous magic master. He waved his wand lightly and only used some basic spells with low magic consumption to easily resist Ivan's attacks.

Ivan was not impatient and increased the intensity of his attack again. The terrifying fire emerged from the void and condensed into a fireball, bombing wildly in the dilapidated church.

Dumbledore could only conjure up a few stone guards as shields to block the aftermath of the explosion.

Such a large-scale deployment of magic power aggravated Dumbledore's injuries again. The charred black scars quickly spread to the right side of his face, which also caused his originally smooth spell-casting movements to become sluggish for a moment...

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!" Ivan keenly seized this fleeting opportunity and started the final wave of offensive. An invisible magic blade flew out from the tip of the staff and slashed straight at Dumbledore. .

Under the pressure of death, Dumbledore no longer distracted from suppressing his injuries. He waved his wand and the stone guard next to him automatically disintegrated and transformed into a stone shield lying in front of him.

The magic blade struck the stone shield with a heart-wrenching sound, and after a moment of stalemate, the two exploded together.

Dumbledore took a few steps back to avoid the debris flying on the ground. In the smoke and dust raised by the explosion, a red beam of light suddenly flew over without warning.

A disarming spell?

Dumbledore did not expect that in such a battle, Ivan would actually intend to use such a non-lethal magic to end himself, and then he wanted to use Apparition in a flash.

However, Ivan's voice rang out at this moment.

"The soul is out of body!"

A hazy and wonderful feeling began to occupy his mind, as if it was trying to pull thoughts away from his brain.

As a master of Legilimency, even in extremely poor condition, Dumbledore successfully escaped the influence of the Imperius Curse in less than a second.

But in the heat of battle every moment counts.

Although the soul-stealing curse cast by Ivan failed to take effect, it had achieved its core purpose. Dumbledore's disembodiment was forced to stop...

The backlash caused by forcibly interrupting the spellcasting completely made Dumbledore lose the last possibility of counterattack!

The crimson beam hit the target, and Dumbledore, who was standing solemnly, was immediately knocked away. His thin body floated in the air like a dead leaf, and he hit the rear load-bearing column hard, and the wand he was holding tightly in his hand was also thrown away. He escaped from his hand, spinning in mid-air and directly submerged into the sea of ​​fire...

"The magic wand is flying!" Ivan was startled and cast a spell quickly, and a blackened magic wand quickly flew out of the sea of ​​fire.

Ivan ignored the heat and reached out to grab the wand in his hand. Only then did he realize that when he was fighting Dumbledore just now, the wand used by the other party did not seem to be the one he expected...

Before Ivan could think clearly, the entire church began to shake violently. The three load-bearing pillars used for support had already broken and collapsed in the previous battle, and what Dumbledore had just hit was the last remaining pillar. A load-bearing column...

The weak balance was broken instantly. The church had reached its limit after suffering continuous heavy damage. The walls cracked rapidly, and heavy stones continued to fall from the ceiling.

Ivan did not want to be buried in the rubble at all. After experiencing a hard battle, his spirit was so weak that he was unable to cast spells to delay the collapse of the church...

Ivan simply grabbed Fox, who was shivering in the corner after Nirvana, and stuffed him into the pocket of the wizard's robe. Then he used magic to lift Dumbledore, who was not sure whether he was alive or dead, and concentrated on spatial positioning.

"Apparate!"

At the moment when the church completely collapsed, Ivan quickly waved his magic wand, and his whole body was drawn into the gap in space. The tragic battlefield was buried under heavy rocks a second later...

…

In an empty house in Knockturn Alley, Ivan's figure emerged from the void.

As soon as he stood upright, Ivan eagerly walked to Dumbledore to investigate, but the result of the investigation made him shake his head helplessly.

No breathing, heartbeat stopped, magic power collapsed...

Ivan looked at Dumbledore lying on the ground with his eyes closed, his clothes neat and only stained with a little dust, and sighed. After all, he still couldn't prevent Dumbledore's death.

Although he had foreseen this scene before the duel, such a result was obviously not what he wanted to see...

The phoenix chick struggled to crawl out of the pocket of Ivan's wizard robe, flapped its hairless wings awkwardly, and fell to the ground, letting out a series of sad lows.

Ivan listened silently to the mourning music, and after recovering some of his magic power, he began to deal with the aftermath. He put his wand against the magic mark on his right hand and conveyed a piece of sad news to Acting Minister Pierce.
