As the three of them stepped into the vault area.

John and Professor Moody looked at each other and nodded.

Then Professor Moody pulled out his wand without warning and waved it at the vault keeper.

"Imperio."

The administrator who was leading the way in front suddenly stiffened, and his pupils lost focus instantly.

The bell in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

John and Professor Moody didn't hesitate and immediately led the administrator toward Bellatrix's vault.

Draco picked up the dropped bell and followed closely behind.

Soon they arrived at Vault No. 7.

John patted his chest and shouted in a low voice.

"Yaomei, wake up and get to work."

【I've been ready for a long time!】

【However, this iron door seems to be able to block soul detection; I can't sense if there is a Horcrux inside.】

A crisp girl's voice sounded in his mind.

He had anticipated this, which was why he had controlled the administrator in advance.

"Open it." John said to Professor Moody.

Professor Moody nodded and directed the administrator to open the door.

The administrator tremblingly pressed his hand on the giant door, and ripples of magic spread out.

The door hinge made a harsh metallic groan, and the heavy bronze giant door slowly slid inward.

【I found it, Brother!】

As soon as the door opened, Yaomei's voice sounded again.

A smile also appeared on the corner of John's mouth; it was finally a trip worth taking.

He didn't hesitate at all and stepped directly over the threshold.

Inside the door were piles of gold Galleons, as well as all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.

It seemed that Bellatrix had looted quite a lot of spoils over the years.

But John's gaze passed over the treasures all over the floor and looked directly at the direction Yaomei pointed.

A gold cup stood quietly at the highest point of the vault.

John took out the small steel ball he carried with him and flew it directly toward the gold cup; the steel ball split into two in mid-air, becoming two semicircular covers.

Then, from left and right, they directly covered the gold cup seamlessly and flew back into John's hand.

"Got it." John put the steel ball back into his arms and immediately exited the vault door.

Professor Moody didn't hesitate and directed the administrator to close the vault again.

Restoring the magic protection, as if nothing had ever happened.

Then, taking the administrator with them, they returned to their previous position, and Draco gently placed the bell back into the administrator's hand.

After Professor Moody and John looked at each other, they lifted the Imperius Curse.

By the way, they cleared the recent memory.

With the lifting of the Imperius Curse.

The administrator's body trembled again, then he blinked and looked around blankly, as if he had just woken up from a light sleep.

He looked down at the bell tightly held in his hand, and then at the three people behind him.

"What's wrong? Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

Draco urged impatiently.

"Oh... oh!"

Hearing Draco's urging, the administrator finally came to his senses, shook his head strangely, and continued to lead the way.

Soon they arrived at the Malfoy family vault.

Opening the door, Draco went in and walked around, took out a few pieces of jewelry, and turned to come out.

He casually stuffed a gold Galleon into the administrator's palm: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go."

Although the administrator didn't care about this one Galleon, he still accepted it with a smile, instantly forgetting the strange trance from just now, and turned to lead the three toward the exit.

John and Professor Moody looked at each other, not expecting Draco, this guy, to be so capable.

The timely urging, and the reward afterward.

Both helped them cleverly cover up all the flaws.

Soon, the three followed the administrator and took the mine cart back to the ground again.

The mine cart sped through the deep tunnel, the rock walls on both sides retreated rapidly, and the halo of the torches flickered on the faces of the three.

As they got closer and closer to the ground, looks of relief appeared on their faces.

They didn't expect the mission to be completed so easily.

However, when the mine cart finally stopped.

In front of the exit gate, someone was already waiting there.

That person's black robe was fluttering, and a dense crowd of people stood behind him.

When they saw this person, the three of them instantly stiffened.

"Welcome back, dear Draco, oh? And a pleasant surprise..."

"Don't you think, Merrick?"

His voice was like a viper sliding across ice, every syllable wrapped in chill and mockery.

Professor Moody looked at the person coming, gritted his teeth, and read his name.

"Voldemort..."

Voldemort's scarlet eyes burned faintly in the dim light, and a cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

The dense crowd behind him were the Death Eaters.

It seemed that the news of Draco appearing at Gringotts had reached Voldemort.

Perhaps he was truly idle, or perhaps he wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, so he came to catch them himself.

John subconsciously looked at Voldemort's left arm.

He had clearly severed Voldemort's left hand last time they met, but now his left hand was hanging intact by his side.

Voldemort also noticed John's gaze, the veins on his face bulged, but he still sneered and spoke in a cruel tone.

"Curious?"

"Hehe, you will see it soon!"

After that, there was no more nonsense, and both sides attacked at the same time.

John poured out his magic power without reservation, and the floor of Gringotts in front of him instantly bulged.

Countless earth spikes flooded everything in front of them like a rainstorm.

"Start the mine cart!!" John's voice sounded amidst the roars.

Although the administrator was scared silly, he instinctively lunged at the control lever; the mine cart jolted violently and then began to drive underground.

Boom!!!

The next second.

A terrifying fire snake tore through all the earth spikes like a hot knife through butter, and then lunged fiercely at the mine cart.

John and Professor Moody attacked at the same time.

"Ultimate Guard!"

A magic shield was instantly erected, blocking the already narrow tunnel.

The fire snake slammed into the shield, exploding into a dazzling wave of red-gold light, and the shield was instantly covered with cracks.

"Avada Kedavra!!"

At this moment, Voldemort's roar sounded from the flames, and a green wand shot directly, shattering the shield and shooting toward John.

John didn't hesitate to throw out a steel ball, which turned into a shield in front of him.

It barely changed the trajectory of the Killing Curse; the green light shot straight into the rock wall on the right, exploding into countless gravel.

Voldemort also turned into a black mist and followed closely behind the mine cart, vowing to take John down.

Behind him, a large group of Death Eaters also turned into black mist, flying toward them like clusters of ominous shadows.

"Damn it, we're surrounded!"

Professor Moody said with an ugly expression.

Gringotts also had Anti-Apparition and Sealing Spells.

Whether it was a Portkey or Apparition, neither could be used; they were completely blocked in Gringotts.

The only hope was to have Dumbledore come to the rescue.

"No, there's still a chance!"

John didn't give up; he looked at Voldemort and shouted directly.

"Voldemort!! Look!"

Voldemort's gaze fell on John from afar.

John threw out the steel ball wrapped around the gold cup.

Seeing this familiar scene, Voldemort instantly realized what was inside the steel ball.

"No!! Merrick!!"

Voldemort roared and waved his wand, and another Killing Curse shot straight at them.

Professor Moody waved his wand in perfect coordination, and countless stone walls rose from the surrounding rock walls, blocking the Killing Curse.

As the steel ball opened, the gold cup appeared before everyone's eyes.

This time, Voldemort still couldn't stop John.

The gold cup drew a dazzling golden arc in the air, and the next second, a poison fang pierced the surface of the gold cup like an arrow.

The moment the poison fang pierced in, the cup suddenly burst into a shrill scream.

Black gas like a spider web emerged on the surface of the gold cup, twisting and struggling like a living thing.

Draco also followed closely and waved his wand.

A Fiendfyre instantly swallowed the gold cup completely, and the black gas let out a dying hiss in the flames, completely dissipating in the scorching heat wave.

Voldemort, with his eyes splitting, was about to pounce, but sensing the destruction of the Horcrux at close range.

His soul instantly trembled violently, as if hit by an invisible giant hammer.

He directly lost the ability to control the black mist to fly and fell toward the bottomless rock cave.

"Master!!"

Seeing this scene, the Death Eaters shouted anxiously and swooped toward Voldemort.

John also raised his wand high, and a cluster of golden flames condensed at the tip of his wand.

When the three seconds were up, Voldemort finally regained control of his body.

Coming back to his senses, those Death Eaters who should have been in pursuit were all surrounding him, while John and the others had already traveled a long distance by mine cart.

"You bunch of trash, chase them!!"

Voldemort roared.

However, just as he finished speaking.

John on the mine cart in place completed the accumulation of magic power.

"Fire God Opening Path·Revised!"

The golden flames exploded, turning into a sword light that spanned the sky and earth.

Slash!

The sword light instantly swallowed Voldemort along with the Death Eaters around him.

Along with the surrounding rock walls, they were also cut off by the sword light, instantly causing a large-scale rock layer collapse.

It swallowed everything around, including Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

But it also completely sealed the track they had come back on.

Now they really had no retreat to go back up.
