Chapter 460: It's Death Eaters!

Li An reached out, gently touching the great door; a chill traveled from his fingertips. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "This is the place." As his words fell, the door slowly opened, and a stench of decay rushed to meet them.

The three entered the castle cautiously; the dim light severely restricted their vision. In the tattered portraits hanging on the walls, the figures' eyes seemed to flash with eerie light in the darkness, as if watching every move they made.

"Be careful; every step here may hide danger." Li An lowered his voice, watched the surroundings alertly, and kept his footsteps extremely light.

Suddenly, a chilling laugh came from all directions, echoing through the empty castle corridors. "It seems uninvited guests have arrived." A cold voice, 023, sounded in the darkness.

"It's Death Eaters!" Harry quickly drew his wand, pointed it into the darkness, and tensed his body, ready for battle at any moment.

No sooner had the words left his lips than a group of Death Eaters in black robes surged from the shadows, their faces wearing eerie masks, wands in hand flashing with evil light. At the same time, several huge dark magical beasts roared and charged out; their massive forms radiated black mist, and their sharp fangs gleamed with cold light in the dim illumination.

"Attack!" The leader of the Death Eaters gave the order, and streams of black magical beams shot toward Li An and the others.

Li An's eyes sharpened; he quickly activated the system, analyzing the enemies' attack patterns and weaknesses. "Everyone be careful, scatter and dodge!" he shouted loudly, while his body flashed sideways like a phantom, avoiding a fatal magical beam.

Harry chanted under his breath; a golden light shot from the tip of his wand and collided with the Death Eaters' dark magic in midair, producing a violent explosion. Hermione, meanwhile, calmly observed the surroundings, trying to find a way to break the magical traps.

"These Death Eaters' attacks are too cunning; we must find a way to expose their flaws." Li An dodged the attacks while thinking silently in his heart. His gaze swept quickly across the battlefield; suddenly, he noticed that when the Death Eaters launched a group attack, there was a tiny gap in their coordination with one another.

"Harry, concentrate your attack on their center!" Li An shouted loudly. Harry, understanding at once, immediately adjusted his attack direction; a powerful magical beam shot toward the middle of the Death Eaters.

The Death Eaters clearly did not expect their attack to be seen through; several in the center could not dodge in time and were struck by Harry's magic, collapsing instantly. Seeing this, the other Death Eaters showed a trace of panic on their faces, but quickly reorganized their attack.

Just then, a huge dark magical beast lunged at Li An with claws bared and teeth gnashing. Li An quickly stepped back several paces, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes. He gathered Manli in his hand and hurled it fiercely at the magical beast's eyes.

"Awooo!" The magical beast let out a pained roar; its eyes struck by Manli, it temporarily lost its sight and spun wildly in place. The surrounding Death Eaters, thrown into confusion by this sudden turn of events, had their attack rhythm disrupted.

"Now is the time; we counterattack!" Li An shouted, charging at the Death Eaters first. His figure darted quickly through the enemy ranks, using the weaknesses revealed by the system to deliver fatal blows to the Death Eaters.
