"Keep driving! Drive to the lowest vault!"

Looking at the collapsed track, John didn't worry about the retreat, but urged the administrator to continue.

The administrator clearly knew that he was now on the same boat as John and the others, so he didn't speak, just kept accelerating.

John continued to say to Professor Moody.

"Professor Moody, let's leave traps along the way; Voldemort will definitely catch up, we need to delay for a little time."

Although he didn't know what John's plan was, Professor Moody nodded.

"I'll help too." Draco on the side also said anxiously.

John nodded, and the three began to leave behind one trigger-style magic trap after another.

The mine cart drove all the way down.

Not long after, the sound of crackling explosions appeared above again.

Clearly, after Voldemort escaped, he began to chase downward, triggering the traps one by one.

The mine cart sped at full speed in the dark tunnel, and the friction between the wheels and the rails sparked scorching sparks.

Finally arrived at the lowest level.

"John, what are you going to do?"

Draco asked very worriedly, listening to the frequent explosions coming from above.

"We can't just hide in the vault."

"Of course not, we have to rely on it to escape."

John chuckled and pointed to the Ukrainian Ironbelly trapped by chains.

Hearing John's words, Draco and Professor Moody were both stunned, looking at the huge fire dragon, and then at John.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course." John didn't hesitate and walked directly toward the fire dragon with his wand.

The fire dragon's scarlet vertical pupils suddenly contracted, the chains left deep marks on its thick neck, and it was about to open its giant mouth full of sharp teeth.

John waved his wand directly.

A 'Four Parts Five Splits' spell directly shattered the chains restricting the fire dragon.

The fire dragon's body, which had been oppressed for years, suddenly relaxed, and the chains snapped!

It was surprised that it could actually stand up.

For a moment, it forgot to attack the humans in front of it.

Then John waved his wand again, and several more chains snapped in response.

Those giant, scale-covered dragon wings that had been imprisoned suddenly unfolded, stirring up a gust of wind.

"Roar!!!"

The long-lost liberation made it roar to the sky, the sound wave shaking the tunnel dome so that stones fell.

It also immediately understood that the humans in front of it were here to liberate it.

The fierce light in the fire dragon's vertical pupils gradually faded, and it lowered its head to look at John.

John didn't stand on ceremony, jumped directly onto the dragon's back, and grabbed the protruding dragon spine on its back firmly.

The fire dragon did not resist or drive them away.

"Hurry up and get on!"

Draco and Professor Moody both stared at this scene in a daze.

No, you just got on it so easily?!

"Don't worry, although this dragon is very dangerous, after long-term artificial taming, its wildness is not strong."

"As long as you build a little trust, it won't attack actively."

"Guarding this place and attacking intruders is just because it's trapped and has nowhere to vent its anger."

As for the knowledge about fire dragons, he heard it all from Hagrid.

Although Hagrid's starting point was a bit different from normal people, his knowledge was definitely beyond doubt.

Listening to the explosions behind them getting closer.

There was really no other way at the moment, so Draco and Professor Moody hardened their hearts and climbed onto the dragon's back.

Professor Moody also conveniently picked up the vault keeper on the side and brought him up together.

"Let's go, big guy!"

Waving his wand, an invisible magic power brushed over the fire dragon's lower jaw.

This was also something Hagrid had taught him; as long as you gently stroke the softest scales on the fire dragon's lower jaw, you can make the fire dragon wag its tail comfortably like a dog.

A low purr rolled out of the fire dragon's throat, and its tail indeed swayed gently.

Then the dragon wings that covered the sky unfolded and flapped fiercely.

Taking off from the ground.

"Roar!!"

The long-lost flight made the fire dragon roar with excitement again.

But because it hadn't flown for too long, it flew crookedly.

"Don't be afraid, just keep flying up!"

John waved his wand again.

The strong wind rolled up, supporting the fire dragon's precarious body.

At the same time, it let the fire dragon feel the airflow and climb upward with all its might.

"Merrick!!"

With a bang.

An explosion occurred in the tunnel below.

The furious Voldemort finally caught up.

At a glance, he saw the three of them riding on the fire dragon's back, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Get down here!"

Instantly, countless Fiendfyre rolled up, turning into a ferocious fire python, tearing through the air to bite at the dragon's tail.

Feeling the scorching heat below, the fire dragon flicked its tail fiercely.

Fiendfyre couldn't hurt the fire dragon, which was a companion to fire.

The fire dragon twisted its long neck, opened its mouth toward the bottom, and sprayed a scorching white dragon breath.

In an instant, the Fiendfyre python was directly swallowed by the dragon breath, and it continued to spray toward Voldemort below with undiminished momentum.

Boom!!

The entire plaza was instantly swallowed by incandescent light.

But Voldemort flew out of the dragon breath unscathed.

His body was wrapped in a protective film like mercury, isolating that deadly high temperature.

John on the dragon's back frowned.

Because those mercury protective films seemed to be flowing out of Voldemort's left arm.

Voldemort relied on the mercury shield and rushed straight toward them.

John quickly observed the surroundings; they were in a vertical cave like a skylight.

All around were craggy rock walls.

It would take some time for the fire dragon to fly up, so they must delay Voldemort, or even trap him here.

With this thought, John didn't hesitate anymore.

He raised his wand, and dozens of electric arcs condensed at the tip of the wand.

Then, from the small Seamless Expansion Pouch he carried, he sprinkled dozens of silver-glistening small silver balls.

"Although I haven't fully mastered it, it's enough for an impromptu performance."

John poured his magic power without reservation to condense the electric arcs; even Draco and Professor Moody beside him felt that the air was full of paralyzing electric fields.

"Heaven and Earth Net!"

As John waved his wand.

The electric arcs exploded suddenly, and the ghostly blue electric light jumped crazily between the small balls, using those small balls made of pure silver as conductors and fulcrums for the current, instantly weaving a ghostly blue electric net covering the entire skylight.

The electric net hummed and trembled, and Voldemort's momentum suddenly stalled.

Feeling the terrifying voltage rushing toward him.

"Small tricks."

Voldemort said this, but he didn't underestimate it at all.

"Thunderclap Explosion!"

With a flash of fire, a violent explosion erupted from the electric net.

But when the smoke cleared.

Not only was the electric net not defeated, but even those small silver balls were unscathed.

Voldemort was stunned, but he didn't hesitate to wave his wand again.

Fiendfyre rolled up again, turning into a fire snake and rushing toward the electric net.

But the fire snake was clearly intangible fire, yet the moment it touched the electric net, it seemed to be blocked by some invisible barrier, making a sizzling sound.

John looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed his spell was still a bit useful.

This electric net was composed of dense electric arcs; even the holes that looked like they had gaps actually had electric field connections.

Whether it was solid or energy, as long as it tried to pass through, it would be instantly pierced by the electric field—just like a moth to a flame.

Moreover, when the density of the electric arcs was strong enough, the structure of the electric net would tend to be infinitely stable and could directly ignore most attacks.

Just like a solid metal net, indestructible.

The electric net was falling at high speed along with the descent of the small silver balls; Voldemort didn't dare to be arrogant and take it head-on.

He waved his wand again.

Countless rock pillars suddenly extended from the surrounding craggy rock walls, as if a giant mouth full of sharp teeth was closing, blocking the entire skylight.

The electric net pressed down, and the rock pillars shattered inch by inch in the ghostly blue electric light, with gravel pouring down like rain.

Voldemort kept descending, kept generating rock pillars.

Until Voldemort descended dozens of meters, the power of the electric net was completely exhausted by the constantly emerging rock pillars.

However.

The skylight he was chasing through was also blocked by himself.

Diagon Alley.

At this time, Diagon Alley was full of a murderous atmosphere.

Because someone witnessed Draco's appearance and informed Voldemort.

So Voldemort brought a group of Death Eaters to Diagon Alley.

The news of a group of Death Eaters appearing at the same time also alarmed the Ministry of Magic.

So the Ministry of Magic also sent Aurors to come just in case.

However, Voldemort and the Death Eaters had not come out since entering Gringotts.

They were struggling with whether to break into Gringotts.

The earth suddenly trembled.

"What's going on!?"

Everyone swayed, then hurriedly stabilized their figures and pulled out their wands to be ready.

It was just that the shaking became more and more violent, as if the stone road of the entire Diagon Alley was groaning.

The next second.

Boom!!!

A scorching dragon breath exploded from the dome of Gringotts.

What appeared along with it was a Ukrainian Ironbelly that covered the sky and the sun.

Its wings unfolded, and its scales shone with a molten gold luster in the afterglow of the flames.

"Roar!!"

The fire dragon, having regained the light, roared to the sky.

It continued to flap its wings and flew toward the horizon.

The Aurors stared at this scene in a daze.

"What the hell?"

"No, there seems to be someone on the fire dragon's back?!"

"No, they even threw a person down!?"

They saw John and the other two on the fire dragon's back, and Professor Moody even conveniently threw the goblin down.

Don't worry, he won't die from the fall.

Goblins are not Muggles with no power to truss a chicken.

Subsequently, everyone witnessed the scene of John and the other two leaving on the fire dragon.

John cast a huge-range Illusion Body Spell on the dragon's back.

Suddenly, the fire dragon disappeared from everyone's sight.

This step was to avoid causing chaos in the Muggle world.

When the fire dragon swept over London, the clouds were torn open by the scorching airflow, leaving a silvery-white rift.

Draco sat on the dragon's back, feeling the howling wind on the dragon's back, and the exciting thrill of escaping death.

"Woohoo!!"

He finally couldn't help but cheer loudly, venting the emotions accumulated in his chest.

Since defecting from Voldemort for so long, this was the first time he had shown such a real smile.

John and Professor Moody looked at each other and couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.

After this operation, Draco could truly be accepted as one of them.
