Chapter 226: This Devil's Snare cannot be left alone!!

~6 min read 1,089 words

Darren landed on a pile of soft plants.

As Darren landed, these plants began to twist slowly.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to trick Harry and the others into coming down, wait for the Devil's Snare to entangle them, and then display his Saint Father radiance, or to state his judgment now.

However, he made his decision immediately.

So he hurriedly called out, "Brother, it seems there's nothing wrong; it's soft down here."

He moved his hands and feet slightly, looking as if he were checking to see if there were any issues.

Finding no problems, he made room for Harry and the others. Thump, thump, thump.

Three sounds of landing came through.

Clearly, Harry and the others had already jumped down.

"Darren... you are too reckless. There are three of us, all older than you; how could it ever be your turn, the youngest child, to take the risk!"

Hermione said, somewhat angrily.

Darren was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with some embarrassment, saying, "What do you mean 'youngest child'? Brother and I are about the same age; Brother is only twenty minutes older than me.

And actually, I overheard your conversation; it's Voldemort who wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

He killed our mom and dad, so from that perspective, I won't let him succeed either.

So, protecting the Sorcerer's Stone is actually Brother's and my mission, and we cannot let you and Ron fall into danger because of our mission."

Darren said earnestly.

A stray lock of hair stood up on his red-haired crown; despite the scene being somewhat amusing, it made people feel he was incredibly handsome at that moment.

Harry looked at Darren and nodded vigorously.

"I'm the same!"

In fact, that was what he had thought from the beginning; this was his family business.

Just because Voldemort killed their parents, they wouldn't let him succeed. It was just that Hermione and Ron were willing to help them.

But precisely because Ron and Hermione were willing to help them, he didn't want to let them take the risk.

"But Darren, even so, it should be me testing it, not you. You are the younger brother; you should be protected by me!"

Harry said angrily.

However, looking at Darren's beautiful face, which was so like their mother's, and those gentle eyes that could make one feel ashamed of oneself, he couldn't truly be angry.

"Brother, do you know you once defeated Voldemort? You defeated him when you were one year old; you are the Savior.

Now he has returned again, and I feel you can defeat him once more. So, before you defeat him, I will stand in front of you; you protect the world, and I will protect you!"

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】 【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】 【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】 【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】 Ah, this!

He had actually truly moved Dumbledore? Suddenly, he felt a little honored!

Darren chuckled, but immediately suppressed his smile.

Because he discovered that the Devil's Snare had already quietly climbed onto all of them.

It was even on the verge of tightening its grip. He wondered if he could trigger a quest.

【Ding, detected a scene where the Saint Father System can function. Now issuing a temporary quest:

Use Obscurus to rescue Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and after rescuing them, pretend to be exhausted and fall onto the Devil's Snare.

Let the Devil's Snare entangle you, and say:

Brother, Hermione, Ron, you go quickly, I'm fine, nothing is wrong, don't forget, you still have to save the Wizarding World...】

【Ding, quest success will grant the favor of the Devil's Snare. Does the host wish to accept the quest?】

【Accept!】

Darren immediately used Obscurus. At the very moment Obscurus activated,

he quickly tore the Devil's Snare off his body, then rushed in front of Harry, forcefully tore the Devil's Snare off Harry, and threw him outside.

Then he rushed in front of Hermione and Ron and did the same. After throwing all three of them out, he sat on the ground, pretending to be exhausted.

"Brother, you are not allowed to come up!"

Seeing Harry about to rush back in, Darren shouted anxiously. His quest!

Perhaps because Harry rushed in, his quest might fail.

And even if he rescued Harry again, he would have to activate Obscurus again—that's one thousand Saint Father Value!

Harry was startled by Darren.

He looked up and saw that Darren's emerald-green eyes were filled with mist.

"Brother, Ron, and Hermione, you go first, I'm fine, nothing is wrong at all.

I remember now, this is Devil's Snare, I will find a way to break free. You leave quickly, think about it, you still have to save the Wizarding World!"

【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the favor of the Devil's Snare.】

Favor of the Devil's Snare: This is a plant that likes dark and damp places.

Those who gain the favor of this plant are all people with super strong Dark Magic talent, so Dark Magic talent +20.

Darren was dumbfounded; he felt the system was working against him. Now his Dark Magic talent was 92.

It wasn't him bragging, but he could think of a torturous Dark Magic spell at any time, anywhere in his head.

If he stood in front of a talent detector now, he would probably be arrested and treated as the third Dark Lord!

Thank goodness the Wizarding World wasn't that intelligent.

But clearly, he had to be careful when using magic from now on; he might suddenly think of a never-before-seen Dark Magic spell and cast it.

At that point, he might be hauled off to Azkaban by Dumbledore.

Speaking of which, if he had the bloodline of Dumbledore or Grindelwald, would Dumbledore let him go?

Or would he hide his Dark Magic talent for him?

But that shouldn't be possible, especially if he had Grindelwald's bloodline; old Dumbledore would probably be so angry he'd fight a great battle with Grindelwald, right?

Darren felt like laughing out loud just thinking about it. *Cough. *

He was still pretending to be the Saint Father! He couldn't break character!

Darren hurriedly reined in his thoughts.

He was afraid Dumbledore might sense them with his intuition. But speaking of sensing,

he sensed that this Devil's Snare seemed to like him too much; every vine was stroking his body.

In an instant, he thought of countless uses for Devil's Snare. Darren suddenly felt that this Devil's Snare could not be left behind.
