Chapter 578 The Demon King and the Demon King
The Ministry of Magic Operations Team evacuated everyone they could. Those who couldn't evacuate either didn't want to leave or couldn't leave.
The gap that had been broken by the fierce fire had been closed again at this time, and the raging fire surrounded Malfoy Manor.
Arthur Weasley stayed. He knew that he was not strong enough to face Voldemort, but he could not leave Ada to face the demons alone. There are also a few good Aurors who stayed together. They may not be strong enough, but it is good to have this heart.
What surprised Ada the most was that Rufus Scrimgeour, an old stubborn man who had always been at odds with Ada, actually stayed at the manor. Scrimgeour did not look at Ada. He kept staring at Voldemort and the Death Eaters, with a gleam of revenge in his eyes.
There are many corpses in the manor, all of which were left behind in the previous scuffle between the two sides. Some corpses had already melted into the raging fire, while others suddenly stood up at this moment.
These standing corpses either belonged to the action team or to Voldemort's henchmen when they were alive, but now they have a collective name: Inferi.
The corpses are rendered incapacitated by black magic and are lifeless, soulless and mindless, only obeying the orders of the person who summoned them.
During those darkest days, Voldemort created an army of Inferi by killing Muggles and wizards.
There was no expression on Voldemort's snake-like face, and his scarlet eyes did not reveal any information. He just stood there and put tremendous pressure on everyone in the Ministry of Magic, like a mountain.
A group of Death Eaters stood behind him, their eyebrows lowered and their eyes submissive, not daring to make any mistakes.
However, a few people like the Lestranges, Antonin Dolohov and others still dared to raise their heads. Their eyes were full of cold murderous intent. The appearance of Voldemort gave them great confidence.
The Aurors who stayed in the manor also stood behind Ada one after another to give support to the young man. This statement was equivalent to their acknowledgment of Ada's leadership position in the Ministry of Magic.
Even Scrimgeour stood up reluctantly.
Although reluctant, Scrimgeour had to admit that he had underestimated the threat of Voldemort and overestimated the strength of the Ministry of Magic.
Without masters like Dumbledore or Ada taking the stand, the Ministry of Magic would have only one end, and that would be to be beaten to pieces by Voldemort, or even destroyed by Voldemort and his henchmen.
Tonight, Scrimgeour had witnessed it twice.
The first time, Ada defeated a group of Death Eaters, which established the Ministry of Magic's victory tonight; the second time, Voldemort violently beat the Ministry of Magic action team, single-handedly restoring the decline of the Death Eaters.
No matter how nice the words are, seeing is not as good as seeing. At this moment, Rufus Scrimgeour finally understood where he had gone wrong.
Whether it is Fudge who has resigned, or Scrimgeour, who almost became the Minister, they all think very highly of themselves, thinking that the Ministry of Magic can overlook all living beings in the world, but they do not know that they are the ones being overlooked.
In the eyes of Dumbledore, Voldemort and Ada, the Ministry of Magic has never been a superior existence, at best it is a stout ant. If you are not satisfied with the Ministry of Magic, you can wave your sleeves and find a new Ministry of Magic, even if you call back the former Wizards Council.
Scrimgeour silently turned to look at Ada. A few months ago, he was still hunting this girl and hated this girl for defying the authority of the Ministry of Magic. But it was this girl who brought a lot of shame to the Ministry of Magic, who saved the Ministry of Magic from danger many times.
Still hate it? It's out of the question.
Do you like or support it? It's also out of the question.
Scrimgeour has mixed feelings about Ada, and this mixed emotion can also represent the views of some Ministry of Magic officials. They need time to digest these things, and they need time to dilute the hatred related to Ada before they can turn enemies into friends.
Just when Scrimgeour's inner drama exploded, the Inferi moved, and they launched an attack on Voldemort's order.
The movements of these Inferi were very strange. Some were running at high speed, some were using their hands and feet, and some were leaping. They quickly rushed in front of everyone in the Ministry of Magic. After the Inferi who led the charge, the Death Eaters also fired the Unforgivable Curse while killing them.
Antonin Dolohov's hideous smile, Rodolphus Lestrange's roar, and Bellatrix's piercing baby-like laughter filled the chaotic manor. This is probably how the end of the world will be. .
The Aurors who dared to stay in the manor were naturally not vegetarians, and it was impossible to capture them without restraint. Everyone cast spells to block the approach of the Inferi.
"The Inferi are afraid of fire and light!" Scrimgeour loudly reminded his companions that he may not be a qualified leader, but he is indeed an excellent Auror.
Scrimgeour's wand sprayed out a large amount of fire. Unlike the fierce fire that made the Inferi become violent, the temperature and light brought by these flames were enough to block the Inferi's attack.
At the same time, a pirate-like witch wearing an eyepatch is also controlling the flames to destroy the Inferi.
Others were blocking the ferocious Death Eaters, exchanging magic with the oncoming Death Eaters to prevent their attacks from falling on Scrimgeour and the one-eyed witch.
The flames, spells, yelling, and running corpses all seemed to have nothing to do with Voldemort and Ada. The two looked at each other, neither of them taking the lead.
It's not that they feel sympathy for each other, or they are competing in the realm of magic power in their hearts, it's just that they have their own thoughts in their hearts.
Xu Shi was young and couldn't hold his breath, so Ada decided to take action before her legs went numb.
After making her decision, Ada stood up, and a thick black mist like ink swept towards Voldemort. After Little Hangleton, Ada once again challenged the Dark Lord Voldemort.
This time, Ada wanted to regain the position she had lost before. It had been a long time since she had been forced into such a mess.
Voldemort, who was dressed in black robes, also turned into black mist, but his mist was even darker than Ada's, exuding frightening power, and the black mist he turned into was closer to reality.
Two black mists collided together. There was no explosion or magic power fluctuation. Instead, the two black mists merged into one! They entangled, tore, and rolled towards the majestic main building.
A corner of the house collapsed instantly, and the broken rubble and bricks were like discharged cannonballs. Some of the Inferi were directly blasted into a bloody mist by the flying masonry and rubble, and their severed limbs fell like rain.
In the spacious and magnificent hall, Ada and Voldemort stood opposite each other. It turned out that the material of their wands was the same, the same yew wood, the same phoenix tail feathers.
It's just that the phoenix tail feathers in the core of Voldemort's wand come from Fawkes, which is the same source as the core of Harry's wand.
And Ada's phoenix tail feathers were not provided by Fox. I don't know where Ollivander got them from. If it were possible to pluck out the tail hair of a phoenix, Fox would have been bald long ago.
When buying the wand, Ollivander once told Ada that yew wands were relatively rare, and there were many bad rumors about yew wands. Generally speaking, yew wands perform very well when it comes to casting damaging magic, especially dark magic.
Over time, people began to say that the powerful yew tree represented death, just as arbitrary as the view of the Thestral. Little did they know that the yew tree has an extremely long lifespan, and it also has the meaning of longevity.
How does that sentence go? The reincarnation of life and death continues. We live and they die.
Ada feels that this sentence is very appropriate to describe the yew wand. Those who are my friends will live, and those who are my enemies will die.
The material of their wands is the same yew wood, and the cores are also made of phoenix tail feathers. Although they are similar, they are also different, just like Ada and Voldemort have many similarities, but their personalities and behaviors are completely different.
"It's really amazing!" Voldemort said coldly and arrogantly, "If you continue to let you grow, you will be in serious trouble."
Scarlet eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the opening and closing of thin lips could decide life or death.
"Stop boasting." Ada didn't care. "If you can kill me, I'll kill you on the day you make soup with your father's bones. Even if you don't have to pay taxes for your big words, you still have to talk about some basic laws!"
When it comes to irritating people, Ada is not convinced by anyone except Severus Snape.
After making peace, the two of them raised their wands at the same time, and the surging magic power surged in the sleeves of their robes.
Voldemort directly cast a life-killing curse, and green light spurted out with an aura of annihilation; Ada rolled up the tiles on the floor, and the luxurious carpet turned into a spear, stabbing Voldemort.
