Chapter 435

Zhang Qiu brought back some brand-new, explosive news, but for their plan to hunt Evolt, there was no subversive change. So, after being fully prepared, Harry, Luo En, and Zhang Qiu came to Sirius's office together and began the unbelievable "Horcrux Escort".

When Harry wore a leather hat and a scarf that almost covered his face, carrying a silver-bright flintlock, walking among a large group of vampires in the same attire, he felt an absurd feeling. Perhaps, Elena thought the same thing at the time—why did they have to walk when a simple Apparition could solve it? Such a simple principle, Evolt couldn't possibly not understand; he must know this is a trap. And what's outrageous is that Evolt knew it was a trap, yet he insisted on drilling into the trap.

"Hey, can this thing be used?" Luo En poked Harry on the side, "I don't know how the vampire's big wand feels to use?"

"Wizards can't use it." Harry said listlessly, "If you really want to know, you can go try those used by Muggles."

"Then are we going to keep walking like this?" After a brief silence, Luo En asked again, "What if Evolt doesn't come? We can't stay here for a whole weekend, right?"

"And a weekend isn't enough to walk to Malfoy Manor." A vampire on the side chimed in.

"Yeah, we have to take a boat too; don't forget we are in Ireland." Another vampire complained, "It's like returning to World War I."

"What is World War I?" Luo En asked curiously.

Several vampires began to tell him history in a jumble. Harry felt this was a bit novel. After the topic gradually became sparse, he asked, "Do you know much about things in the Muggle world?"

"Of course, we live in the Muggle world most of the time." One of the vampires answered immediately.

"Very normal; think about it, every little wizard can learn how to deal with vampires from school." Another older vampire said with some resentment, "We can't suck blood in the Wizarding World, so where else can we live?"

"And the price of blood is always rising," another vampire complained, "I can only drink human blood every two weeks, and it's Muggle blood at that."

"Gregoriou is still there saying Muggle blood makes us weak, but we can't afford magical creature blood either..."

"Ahem!" A vampire in the front row, who seemed to be a squad leader, coughed a few times, and they began to stop talking. The entire team moved forward slowly in silence.

They walked for a whole morning. At noon, Harry and Luo En came to the center of the team and had lunch with Sirius and Snape. Just as they sat around the table in the carriage, Harry found that there were two empty seats on the side, which made him feel a bit strange.

Not long after, Zhang Qiu also lifted the curtain and sat into the carriage, and another girl with white hair followed behind her. Harry looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Luo En with some worry. He found that Luo En's hands had nowhere to put; he looked extremely awkward.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you, Potter." Snape said as if nothing had happened, "After learning about our plan, the Magical Congress is very happy to participate. They hope Miss Kaslana can act as a surprise move to help us defeat Evolt."

"Wake up, Ronald?" Elena said with a light laugh, "Shall we fight side by side?"

"I have already gained a new understanding of the Elemental Dragon. I mean, the power of Sacred Blade alone should be enough to defeat Evolt." Luo En's tone was a bit complex, "I hope you won't get hurt again."

"Thank you for your concern." Elena smiled, and Harry felt she seemed to have become kinder.

Zhang Qiu heard the implied rejection in Luo En's tone. She glared at Luo En with some dissatisfaction and then began to steer the topic to the dining table.

They each had their own thoughts, talking intermittently, eating the not-so-delicious dry bread with meat soup. Just as Harry was about to scrape the small bowl in front of him clean, a burst of scattered gunfire suddenly sounded. A vampire suddenly lifted the carriage curtain and said in a panic, "The enemy has appeared!"

"What a good time." Snape sneered, and then walked out of the carriage first, with the others following closely behind.

On the dusty path in the woods, Evolt stood quietly in the middle of the road. Several vampires were gripping their flintlocks tightly, not daring to fire rashly. Just in front of the line, three or four corpses were lying quietly, their chests having charred small holes, their eyes wide open, looking very miserable.

Luo En quickly rushed to the front of the team. He naturally saw this scene too, and then said with dissatisfaction, "Don't involve others anymore; I'll be your opponent!"

"Be careful, he is in the third stage. The strength of this stage is speed and agility." Zhang Qiu reminded in a low voice.

The Elemental Dragon nodded slightly, and the blue-and-white patterns on the armor began to glow faintly. He was mobilizing some kind of new power, while Evolt stood in place without moving. The two confronted each other in silence.

Suddenly, the Elemental Dragon launched an attack first. He swung his sword to slash out a flame sword energy, while he himself rushed forward taking advantage of the sword energy. However, Evolt's figure was as flexible as an elusive wind. He dodged the sword energy and thrusts one after another, side-stepping to strike a heavy punch directly at the opponent's chest, but it was cleverly blocked by the Elemental Dragon with the sword body—in the first round of confrontation, neither side gained any advantage.

Zhang Qiu slowly took out her belt, but she didn't rush to transform, instead whispering, "Bellatrix doesn't know where she is now; we have to find her first."

"Why? What if she didn't come?"

"I don't dare to gamble. If I am secretly immobilized by her after transforming and defeated by a sneak attack, Luo En will fall into a one-on-two situation, which is unfavorable for us." Zhang Qiu's eyes scanned the dense forest, hoping to find that figure.

"Aren't you coming out to help?" Harry shouted loudly while raising the gun barrel of a vampire gunman beside him, "We are preparing to take a cold shot!"

"Perhaps she ran away." Snape said in a moderate volume, "After all, Evolt is not the Dark Lord she serves wholeheartedly; it's normal for her to decide to run away."

"You traitors!" A black wind flashed by the edge of the woods, and Bellatrix appeared, "The Dark Lord has returned! Returned! Haven't you seen it?!"

"Obviously that is not the Dark Lord we respect." Snape retorted smoothly, "Evolt, an ambitious person hiding behind a mask... do you really believe he is the Dark Lord?"

Bella didn't answer. She looked a bit shaken; obviously, Snape was the person who knew best how to handle her.

"Next, we are going to punish this fool who blasphemes the Dark Lord... Zhang Qiu, you can prepare to transform." Snape said while walking forward a few steps, "Do you want to stop it? How many more times can your body support?"

Harry suddenly felt a flash before his eyes. Yes, Zhang Qiu had said from the beginning that if a Dark Wizard used the Rider system, they would die from magic backlash. Although he didn't know how Bella survived the first backlash, her continuing to transform could only be seeking her own death.

Bella's left hand gripped the belt, her eyes shifting. Evolt exploded with full speed at this moment, simply like a red lightning. He kept attacking the Sacred Blade, seemingly having the upper hand for the time being, but at this moment, a golden sword energy suddenly erupted. Evolt raised his hand to block in a rush, but was still beaten back repeatedly, leaving footprints of varying depths all over the ground.

Suddenly, Bella's right hand swung out from her robe. She held a wand in her hand, and a snake-like curse flew toward Snape. Snape, as if prepared, waved his sleeve; his wand was also hidden in his hand, easily swatting away the curse.

Harry's reaction was half a beat slow. He hurriedly dodged to the side, then pulled out his own wand. Watching the curses intertwine in the air, the battle between the two became more intense. Harry quietly aimed at Bella and whispered, "Expelliarmus!"

Caught off guard, Bella was hit by the Disarming Charm, but what flew out was not the wand, but the belt she had been holding in her left hand all along. This made Harry feel a bit regretful, but he didn't have time to continue attacking, only to find a Cruciatus Curse pointing directly at him. He could only dodge in a hurry. Snape took the opportunity to whisper a complex spell; the ground suddenly cracked, and black vines spread rapidly, trying to entangle Bellatrix's feet. She screamed, jumped up rapidly, and as her wand waved, the vines were blown to pieces.

Suddenly, a red light flashed from the side, and Bellatrix's body trembled violently, then fell powerlessly, the madness in her eyes gradually dissipating. Sirius walked out with a smile on his face and said with some disdain, "If it's about this, then I'm much better at it."

"You are indeed good at sneak attacks, Mr. Padfoot." Snape retorted sarcastically, then turned his wrist and hid his wand back into his sleeve.

Seeing that Bellatrix had fallen, Zhang Qiu didn't hesitate to buckle her belt, then quickly took out an energy bottle and began to shake it.

"Wait!" Harry suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and revealed his left hand, "Is your Phoenix Finger moving?"

Zhang Qiu subconsciously turned her hand over to look, then furrowed her brows and asked, "No, what's wrong?"

"My Phoenix Finger is heating up, which means Draco has encountered an enemy he can't deal with, and he should be at school right now!" Harry said anxiously.

"School? An enemy that even Gel-Dragon and Fang Joker can't deal with?" Zhang Qiu also showed a look of shock, but she didn't hesitate to insert the energy bottle into the belt.

"Platinum Gamer! Rider Chronicle! Are you Ready? Level up!"

"So we need to settle the battle quickly here, don't we?"
