Chapter 264: Dumbledore, Times Have Changed!

Deep in a desolate mountain col.

Two figures stood a hundred meters apart.

John looked speechlessly at Dumbledore, who was standing opposite him looking light and breezy, feeling a bit of a headache.

Who would bring a student to a deserted mountain area to spar in the middle of the night?

Dumbledore said he wanted to personally verify John's current strength before deciding whether to take him to find the Horcrux.

So he brought John directly to this desolate valley.

"No need to worry, John, attack me with all your strength."

Dumbledore's voice ignored the distance, passing through the whistling night wind and reaching him steadily.

In order to make Dumbledore believe in his strength, John had to pull out his wand.

To be honest, being able to have the opportunity to spar with this greatest wizard of the contemporary era, he was still quite excited.

I don't know how much of Dumbledore's strength I can force out.

Can I hurt him?

Can I even beat him?

Whenever he thought of this, his hands would tremble slightly, not out of fear, but because of the trembling intertwined with excitement and expectation.

There was only one rule for the spar: the use of the three Unforgivable Curses was not allowed.

Others, whether it was curses, hexes, or even Dark Magic, sneak attacks, or playing tricks, you could use whatever you wanted.

Fight until one side falls.

John took a deep breath, then took the lead, waving his wand upward.

Boom!

The earth shook violently, and three huge stone giants rose from the ground, surrounding Dumbledore in the center.

Dumbledore looked at these stone statues without any movement.

Faint light flickered in the eye sockets of the stone statues, and the huge fists smashed down suddenly.

The earth was directly cracked.

John stared fixedly at the position where the giant fists fell. He knew that Dumbledore couldn't be solved so easily.

It's just.

"Very powerful Transfiguration and object control ability."

"But it's a bit flashy."

Dumbledore's voice sounded suddenly from his side.

John stiffened all over, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up suddenly.

Silent Apparition?

Almost subconsciously, John waved his wand violently, and countless earth spikes rose from under his feet like a tsunami, screaming and piercing toward his side.

And he himself also disappeared in place at the same time by Apparition.

Pop!

John appeared on top of one of the three stone giants, overlooking the entire mountain.

The earth spikes that had just been lifted were still in place, but Dumbledore's figure was still nowhere to be seen.

At this time, a faint wind sound came from behind.

"Tsk."

John tsked and turned to wave his wand directly.

Red light attacked behind him, but was lightly flicked away by Dumbledore behind him, and the spell was flicked away.

Dumbledore also waved his wand, and a powerful Disarming Charm directly blew John away, and his wand was knocked out of his hand.

But the next second.

Pop!

A loud explosion sounded from behind. John took advantage of the inertia of being hit and flew, Apparated behind Dumbledore, and hit Dumbledore on the back with an elbow.

However, Dumbledore reacted extremely quickly. Before John's elbow hit him, he disappeared in place.

John's elbow hit empty air.

But it didn't matter, he stood in Dumbledore's original position and caught the knocked-out wand.

Everything happened in a flash, and the two completed a confrontation.

Although it was John who suffered a loss.

Another red light attacked John. He didn't even think about it, just raised his hand, and a stone wall blocked the front of the spell.

The stone wall exploded, and John behind the stone wall launched a counterattack with his wand in hand.

"Confringo!"

Boom!

A white light exploded, submerging Dumbledore's figure.

However, the next second, a wave of red fire surged out from the smoke of the explosion, carrying endless scorching heat waves, and pounced on John.

Before the fire wave arrived, John waved his wand.

A higher stone wall rose, blocking all the flames.

However, in less than a second, the stone wall was melted through by the terrifying energy of the flames, and the rubble pressed toward John.

Although he could use Apparition to move, John couldn't help but wave his wand excitedly, choosing to fight head-on.

Swish swish swish!!

Dozens of stone spikes half a meter thick broke through the air, tearing through the scorching heat waves like the fangs of a giant beast.

John's figure also rushed through the lava fire wave behind the stone spikes, appearing in front of Dumbledore again.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, not expecting this kid John to be so tough, and then smiled.

Directly a Disarming Charm greeted his face.

John didn't show any weakness and returned a Disarming Charm.

The two spells collided in mid-air and exploded, like two scarlet lightnings exploding, splashing, and hissing in mid-air.

But the spells only collided for a second, and John gave up.

Because Dumbledore's magic power was as deep and long as the sea, directly pressing to his front like a broken bamboo.

Before being hit completely, John twisted his waist and turned his body, unloading the spell to the right.

The spell directly plowed a scorched deep ditch on the ground to his right.

After unloading the force and turning to cancel the backswing, John immediately took advantage of the fact that Dumbledore's skill backswing had not ended, and a Stupefy spell flew out.

However, Dumbledore didn't even dodge, just raised his hand and blocked John's spell.

Not giving any chance at all!

John gritted his teeth and cast the spell again.

"Sectumsempra!"

Hearing John's spell, Dumbledore was slightly surprised.

Just the next moment, invisible cuts tore open several harsh tearing sounds on the surface of Dumbledore's Iron Armor Spell.

This was learned from Professor Snape after the duel with him before.

It was just that although this move was unexpected, it still couldn't break Dumbledore's defense.

Must change to a more powerful attack.

John looked at his feet, and a plan emerged in his heart.

"Headmaster, don't let your guard down..."

John suddenly smiled at Dumbledore, then turned around and jumped down from the top of the stone giant.

Although Dumbledore was confused when he heard John's words, he still maintained the Iron Armor Spell throughout to prevent this kid John from playing tricks.

And John, who was in free fall in mid-air, waved his wand.

The three stone giants shattered at the same time, forcing Dumbledore down, while the stone giants turned into countless rubble and fell.

John also hid his figure with the curtain of rubble.

Dumbledore, because the stone giant shattered and lost his footing, Apparated back to the ground, watching the rubble fall like a curtain.

It's just that John's figure didn't appear for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes and waved his wand again.

Boom!!

Endless flames rose like a tsunami, constantly surging in the air, forming an endless sea of fire.

As Dumbledore's wand swung down, the sea of fire instantly swallowed the entire mountain area.

The terrifying temperature scorched the air, distorting and deforming, making a sizzling wail.

Even the dark night sky was burned red by this terrifying scarlet flame.

Unless John Apparated away, it was impossible to be safe and sound.

Dumbledore was just thinking so...

Bang!!

An abrupt explosion tore through the sea of fire.

Dumbledore's figure swayed slightly, the Iron Armor Spell was pierced, and a flower of blood exploded from his left shoulder.

John's figure jumped high from the sea of fire, his robes scorched and curled, his hair burned and curled, looking very embarrassed.

But in the reflection of the fire, his eyes were full of an excited light.

John in mid-air raised his left hand, and a hollow muzzle pointed at Dumbledore.

Seeing the weapon in John's hand, Dumbledore was stunned for a moment.

It was a silver short gun shaped like a fire gun. It turned out that he hid just to change into such a killing weapon...

"Dumbledore! Times have changed!"

John's face was full of the joy of success, and he pulled the trigger!

Bang!!

Another explosion sounded, white light exploded from the muzzle, and the bullet carrying terrifying kinetic energy tore through the air, piercing directly at Dumbledore's hand holding the wand.

Crack!

A crisp sound...

Hmm?

The excitement on John's face froze instantly.

Dumbledore was indeed hit, but there was no feedback of being hit.

I saw the Dumbledore in front of him suddenly crack like a mirror surface.

Crack!

The reflection in the mirror shattered completely, leaving only a ground of silver light spots.

It's over!!!

John immediately sounded the alarm, knowing he had been tricked.

Before he could make any move, a red light occupied his entire field of vision.

Bang!

John was directly knocked away by a red light for dozens of meters, rolled several times on the ground, and barely stopped.

Dumbledore's figure walked out of the sea of fire slowly, calm and composed.

The firelight jumped in the mirror surface of his glasses, and his left shoulder was soaked with blood, spreading a dark red.

Looking at the fallen John, Dumbledore laughed.

"It was really dangerous, John. I didn't expect you to hide such a hand."

John only felt that his body was broken and painful.

Feeling that his ribs were broken...

He struggled to turn over and lay face up.

He grinned at Dumbledore.

"... Likewise." ===== CHAPTER 265 =====
