Chapter 354 The Oncoming Killing Curse, a Confrontation in Mid-Air

During Christmas, Hogsmeade was peaceful and tranquil.

But today was a little strange, although it always snowed in this season in previous years.

But it was rarely like today, it started snowing non-stop from noon.

…

Outside the window, the wind and snow were howling, and the cottage was covered with silver; the cottage was quiet and peaceful.

Perhaps it was because of his disappearance just now, or for other reasons, even if he was rejected for the second time, Voldemort still did not get angry immediately.

He first looked at the gems and dice on the table carefully, and then showed a look of disappointment.

"Can't go? Can you tell me the reason?" Sitting on the sofa, Voldemort stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his brow with his index finger.

"Go, it's death! To be honest, I don't want to do this, because it's not worth it!"

Ino said calmly, but his eyes were always fixed on Voldemort's eyes.

At this moment, the two looked at each other calmly, and neither of them spoke.

Time passed for a while.

"I believe you!" Voldemort said slowly: "But this also makes me very distressed. It can only be death? And there is no solution?"

"I don't know." Ino shook his head slightly.

"But at present, there is only one way to go. To be honest! If it weren't for the specialness of the senior, I would have wanted to take you with me just now."

"Hahaha! You are indeed a standard Slytherin." Voldemort laughed instead of being angry, but then changed the subject:

"You said you don't know, but in fact there is a solution?"

"Maybe there is, maybe not, but I really don't know." Ino did not hide it and answered directly and truthfully.

For so many years, he still didn't understand the characteristics of the shelter, the controlled eight-eyed giant spider, the suddenly appeared valley, and even the controlled Phoenix Fide, and he really didn't know what changes would happen in the future.

Besides, there is another point. For people like Voldemort or Dumbledore, lying is meaningless. It's not that they are afraid of Legilimency, but even if they are lucky enough to deceive the other party once, they can find it back when they turn around.

Unless the shelter allows him to leave this world completely, lying and deceiving others is not only immature, but also stupid.

…

Voldemort leaned on the sofa quietly.

After hearing the answer, he nodded slightly and said: "I believe in my feelings. It tells me that you didn't lie about this matter, so I believe you too."

After that, he slowly sat up straight, pondered for a moment, and spoke again:

"But... you need to be worthy of my trust."

As the voice fell, suddenly an invisible pressure rose from Voldemort, and even the flames burning in the fireplace were about to go out.

On the other side, while feeling the pressure, Ino also had a word in his mind-the ocean.

The ocean always seems to be calm, but it can also rise up in a flash.

Although he thought about it, Ino did not hesitate at all. The shadow under his feet was like boiling ink, like a black river, and it also filled the entire room in an instant.

In the black fog, countless shadows rose up like entities. They looked like skeletons, but they were wearing tattered armor, holding spears, swords, short bows and other weapons, and rushed towards Voldemort together.

The abandoned and cursed mountain people from Middle-earth appeared in the magic world for the first time.

"Avada, eat the big melon!"

Voldemort raised his hand and decisively used the killing curse.

The green beam symbolizing death pierced through several soldiers in succession. Although it did not cause the death of the ink shadow soldiers, the killing curse was not blocked.

On the side, Ino saw the green beam shooting towards him, and his figure disappeared again, perfectly avoiding the attack of the killing curse.

...

Seeing Ino disappear, Voldemort was relieved.

The moment he used the killing curse, he regretted it. The purpose of this trip was to understand the rules behind the dice, not to create killing.

The sudden attack just now was also a declaration of power, just like the other party cunningly disappeared and reappeared, showing his power with actions.

Voldemort's original intention was the same, but as the black fog enveloped, a vague irritability made him subconsciously use the magic that was convenient for him.

But after seeing the other party dodge, he also planned to stop, so as not to do something regretful later.

...

However, too many things in the world are often wishful thinking.

Voldemort planned to stop, but Ino was completely enraged.

Although he dodged the first of the three unforgivable curses by a hair's breadth, he still remembered the oncoming death breath of the killing curse.

For the first time, he was so close to death, especially without holding the dice.

Thinking of this, Ino held the life-saving dice tightly in his hand.

Then, he decisively left the shelter and his figure appeared in the hut again.

...

As mentioned before, Hogsmeade is always quiet and peaceful during Christmas.

But today, at some point in the afternoon, this peace was broken.

The violent cold wind, mixed with countless goose-feather-like snow, the whole world turned pale visibly.

And this is not the end. It should have been a bright afternoon, but since some time, the sky was covered by a huge, vast black smoke, and in an instant, the sky seemed to have reached evening.

At this moment, hundreds of skeleton soldiers wearing medieval armor, holding weapons and with hideous faces walked out of the thick black smoke.

…

No one has ever counted how big Hogsmeade is.

But one thing is certain, the number of wizards living in Hogsmeade can even exceed more than 60% of the total number of wizards in England.

In this scene that seems like a natural disaster, all the wizards currently staying in Hogsmeade raised their heads without exception.

In the sky, about 100 feet above the ground, or even higher, there are two wizards floating there without any props.

One hundred feet, about 30 meters in height, this distance does not require any equipment, and everyone can see the two people floating in the air with their naked eyes.

"Ino..."

"That person is resurrected..."

"Swinburne..."

"The Dark Lord..."

The wizards in Hogsmeade murmured subconsciously.

The difference is that the students of Hogwarts only know Ino; while many adult wizards recognize the Dark Lord who once shrouded England in darkness and madness.

There are differences, but there are also unity.

Just like now, no matter if they were adult wizards or students of Hogwarts, anyone who carried a videoscope with them would turn it to the sky.

Unlike others who looked up, Mad-Eye Moody reacted immediately. At this moment, he didn't care about catching the little wizards. He drew out his wand and shouted:

"All students, now! Run to Hogwarts immediately! Run back to inform McGonagall and ask her to activate the defensive magic."

While speaking, Moody also took out a Galleon that looked like a low-quality imitation. The reason why it was called low-quality was that the coin looked like a Galleon, but the abbreviation of the Ministry of Magic Law Enforcement Department was printed on the front.

Moody's shouting made many little wizards wake up from their dreams, especially the Ravenclaws, who ran towards the castle without looking back.

But there were also many little wizards who were unmoved and looked at the sky eagerly, and most of them were Slytherins.

...

At the same time.

Professor McGonagall, whom Moody mentioned just now, was riding a broomstick and flying on the only way to Hogsmeade.

Beside Professor McGonagall, there were two more people.

Professor Filiwi, the headmaster of Ravenclaw and former champion of the International Dueling Tournament, and Madam Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons, who was riding a divine horse.

"Filius, go down and watch over the students' retreat!"

Riding on a flying broomstick, Professor McGonagall had already seen the two people confronting each other in the air in the distance.

Similarly, she also saw the panicked students running below.

Xiaodi's sharing today: Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra)

The Killing Curse is the first of the three unforgivable curses and is a death curse. It is one of the most powerful and evil spells in the wizarding world. When the spell is cast, the wand will emit a dazzling green light, and the person who is cursed will die instantly, and usually without leaving a trace.

When successfully cast on a living person or creature, the curse will cause instant and painless death without any signs of physical violence. This is an extremely cruel black magic. Once used on a human, if arrested by the Ministry of Magic, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.

The Killing Curse is generally unstoppable, so spells such as the Shield Curse cannot resist it.
