Chapter 318 The Devil Returns

An ancient magic circle began to light up on the surface of the earth, as if the sticky darkness was wriggling.

A long and ethereal chant came from the black robe: "Father's bones, servant's flesh, enemy's blood, soul of extradition..."

Every time it was chanted, the black sticky substance in the center of the magic circle would become more active.

They continued to spread to the child-like body of Voldemort in the center.

The rotten bones were thrown into the magic circle by the black robe. Peter Pettigrew took the initiative to cut off his arm and contributed his broken limb. Harry fell to the ground in pain, and fine cuts appeared on his body. The bright red blood began to flow out. In the mist, a horse-like shadow that seemed to have walked out of hell also slowly stepped into the magic circle. If you look closely, you can find that it is a night star.

In an instant, everyone's things were integrated into the black sticky substance, causing a large increase in their number, and quickly rushed to Voldemort in the center of the venue.

It was like a black cocoon wrapped around it, and there was a faint heartbeat inside.

......

At this moment, in the maze, Hermione was suspended at the top of the passage, looking at the thousand paper cranes spinning in place, her brows furrowed.

Just after coming out of the portal, she quickly realized one thing, although she and Harry entered the same door, the location of the teleportation was different.

This was the conclusion she came to after returning and finding that it was not the original location.

This discovery made Hermione have to take out the thousand paper cranes again to search.

As a result, the paper crane's search effect was directly invalid.

There are two possibilities for this situation, either Harry has been teleported away from here, or he is blocked and interfered.

Will this happen in the maze?

If it is just a normal game, it will not happen, but if it happens, it means it is abnormal. In short, Harry's current situation must be not very good.

After thinking about this, Hermione was about to take action, and suddenly saw a flash of green light in the corner of her eyes.

Hermione was too familiar with that kind of breath. It was the killing curse that bit the big melon, and the person who could light up that level of green light in a passage more than 20 meters high showed how deep his attainments in this spell were.

Without even thinking about it, Hermione disappeared in the flames, and when she reappeared, she was already standing at the top of the green light channel.

The scene below was also revealed.

A familiar figure was seen, laughing crazily and attacking Cedric. Not far away, Krum was lying quietly on the ground, his eyes wide open, lifeless.

As the man continued to move forward with a crazy laugh, green lights flew out as if they were free, causing Cedric to keep dodging left and right in the narrow channel.

To be honest, if it weren't for me, Cedric would definitely be the most talented wizard in Hogwarts in recent years, but this would not change his impending death.

Because the enemy opposite him was Barty Crouch Jr., Voldemort's diehard, the madman who was rescued on the way to Azkaban.

His appearance here meant that Voldemort was already in action, and Harry must have fallen into his hands.

There was no time to delay any longer.

As soon as she thought of this, the flames engulfed Hermione, and she instantly appeared in front of Little Barty below, and her wand directly broke the opponent's killing curse.

Little Barty reacted quickly, and the spell of heart-piercing and bone-cutting was almost instantly cast, especially after seeing Hermione's face clearly, the expression of hatred and madness became more hideous.

As a result, the spell failed, and Little Barty's vision was confused for a moment. He then realized that he had just cast a spell on the wall beside him.

Before the shock dissipated, four fire rings appeared, and the golden-red flames flashed in the field of vision. Little Barty's hands and feet had been cut off, even though one of his feet was a metal prosthesis.

Because the temperature of the golden-red flames was too high, the blood did not even flow out of the broken limbs, only a strange smell of burning.

"Hermione! Krum is dead, killed by him, there is something wrong with this game!" Cedric's voice, which was difficult to calm down, came from behind.

"I know!"

A simple seal fell on Barty Jr., blocking his magical bloodline, and then she took him and teleported to Cedric's side, "Catch Krum, let's go out first!"

Although Cedric had thousands of questions at this moment, he wisely did not ask more questions and reached out to grab the body on the ground.

The four were instantly enveloped by flames, and when they reappeared, they were already in the center of the stands at the entrance of the stadium.

Seeing them appear, especially finding Barty Jr. among them, Dumbledore immediately stood up and asked seriously:

"What happened?"

"Principal Dumbledore, Voldemort has taken action, let Fawkes locate Harry, we have to rush over immediately!" Hermione was concise and to the point, which was also the reason why she returned as soon as possible. Not only did she inform the news, but she could also teleport to Harry's side according to Fawkes's location.

As for how to locate, Harry was carrying a phoenix feather.

Wow~!

After hearing the name Voldemort, the scene was like a pot exploding, with a few flashes from time to time. That was Rita Skeeter in the corner, who was excitedly recording everything at the scene.

Dumbledore summoned the phoenix without hesitation.

"Miss Granger, how could you, how could you..." Minister Fudge was about to accuse Hermione of making up rumors, saying there was no Voldemort, but halfway through, he found Krum, who was already lifeless on the ground, "He, he's dead?!"

Hermione narrowed her eyes and looked at Fudge, feeling his panic and fear, and then looked at Moody, who was limping towards this side. At this moment, the other party was full of doubt and...excitement!

"Krum was killed by this person. After I found out, I tried to release a fireworks spell to warn him, but the spell was blocked when it rose to the middle of the air. This person was going to kill me next, but Hermione suddenly appeared and saved me." Cedric narrated clearly.

Although he was panicked, Hermione's flame had the inspiring effect of the phoenix, which was enough to keep him calm.

The person who should have reacted the most to Krum's death should be Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang, but at this moment, he was sitting there with sweat on his forehead. The look of fear was obvious to everyone.

It was Ms. Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons, who came over anxiously to ask about Fleur's situation.

"Sorry, I didn't see her." Cedric said.

Hermione also shook her head.

After hearing this, the other party immediately looked at Dumbledore, "Albus, end the game, I must ensure the safety of the students! Even if it is the Dark Lord!"

"No, no! There is no Dark Lord, that person is dead, don't mention that name again." Fudge held his hat tightly in his hand and emphasized in a sharp voice.

At this moment, a huge Dark Mark appeared in the air above the maze, and the hideous skull was spewing poisonous snakes. All the people who had been Death Eaters at the scene changed their faces. They all felt the heat of the arm mark. It was the Dark Lord summoning his subordinates.

The fear in everyone's heart rose sharply, and the riot had already begun.

Fortunately, a phoenix cry calmed many people down. Fox appeared in the flames and landed steadily on Dumbledore's shoulder.

One year of growth is enough for the little chicken to grow colorful feathers.

Rumor has it that whenever the Dumbledore family needs help, the phoenix will appear.

Hermione didn't know whether it was true or not, but there was indeed a special connection between the old headmaster and Fox.

Hermione, who was already standing next to Dumbledore, grabbed the old headmaster's arm at the first time.

Before leaving, Dumbledore reminded, "Professor McGonagall, please take the students back to the castle as soon as possible.

Ms. Maxime, the competition is over from now on.

As for Minister Fudge, the maze was built by the Ministry of Magic itself. I hope you can give us an explanation later as to why the Death Eaters appeared. But before that, please participate in the work of finding students and fighting against the Death Eaters. I hope you will not be late."

After speaking, the firelight disappeared with the two people and the bird.
