Chapter 436: Approaching the Truth

Evolt's red figure was unusually flexible. In his third phase, he possessed the agility of a rabbit, and for a time, he circled between Saber and Cronus, actually not falling into a disadvantage. If it weren't for Sirius's quick reaction, he would have almost snatched the unconscious Bellatrix.

Fortunately, this encirclement operation was well prepared. Just when Evolt flashed to Saber's side again, preparing to give him a punch, a white figure suddenly appeared and firmly grabbed Evolt's shoulder.

"Caught you!" Alina said confidently, then shook hard, and a large spark exploded on Evolt's armor. And just when he swung his fist to counterattack, she flashed again and appeared on the open space five meters away.

At this moment, Harry noticed very clearly that there was already a diagonal crack on Evolt's chest plate, and his pace had become chaotic.

Saber's sword ignited with flames, turned around and slashed solidly on Evolt, beating him back and forth. Immediately after, Alina flashed behind him again, preparing to launch another attack.

In this desperate situation, Evolt made a very risky move. He suddenly deactivated his transformation, and then exploded a group of strange red mist. At that moment, no one had time to see his face, and that figure was immediately hidden in the smoke.

Alina immediately pounced forward, but she grabbed nothing. As the red mist slowly dissipated, there was no one in the woods, and they could only regretfully accept the fact that "Evolt escaped".

Harry looked at the two who deactivated their transformations and said anxiously: "We have to go back to school immediately. Draco is asking for help. I don't even know what happened there!"

"Let's go back." Snape said calmly. "Sirius, watch our prisoners, be sure to be vigilant!"

"Set up an anti-Apparition ward! The firearm squad works in two shifts!" Sirius said loudly. "Double the pension!"

The members of the firearm squad regained their fighting spirit under the effect of money. Snape nodded slightly when he saw this, and then two hands held Harry and Ron. With a crisp sound, the three appeared at the entrance of the Great Hall.

Just after they followed and appeared, Zhang Qiu also appeared, followed by Alina—but she was not recognized by the school and could only appear outside the gate in the distance.

Harry walked up the stairs quickly with a kind of inertial thinking. He thought this battle was still in the Room of Requirement, but it was only when he walked up the stairs that he found the orientation of the ring was a bit wrong.

"That direction is... Torchwood?" A chill hit his head. With deep worry about the diary, he ran toward that room with all his strength.

The corridor had long been evacuated. He saw Draco sitting on the corner of the wall from a distance, his left hand tightly covering his right shoulder, full of blood.

Immediately after, a white figure broke through the phantom wall and flew out, directly shattering half of the railing, and half of his body was stretched out of the corridor, almost falling down.

Fang Joker struggled to get up, holding a thorn-like bone blade in his hand. Just then, a red figure suddenly appeared, and the sword blade wrapped in sharp sword energy slashed on the bone knife, splashing a piece of sparks.

Double Rider supported the ground with one hand, borrowed strength to jump up, and kicked toward the head of the Decade. But his strength had been exhausted. This attack was easily blocked by Decade. He turned his sword and slashed. Double Rider barely blocked it, but the huge impact force made him fall to the ground heavily, the floor tiles of the corridor were also smashed, and gravel splashed.

"Hehe, reinforcements are here." Decade wiped the sword in his hand very arrogantly. "I'll take the diary. As an exchange, give you a piece of advice: don't play Double Rider alone anymore."

He looked at Ron and Zhang Qiu who were rushing behind Harry, and then stroked his waist, and the whole person immediately fell into an invisible state, and could no longer catch his figure.

"Cough!" The Double Rider on the ground deactivated the transformation, but the figure revealed was Luna. She sat up with difficulty, her lower leg was scratched by gravel, and a bright red bloodstain looked very eye-catching at this moment.

"Diary..." she said with difficulty, "he snatched the diary."

"What's going on?" Harry walked up. He saw at a glance that the room was in a mess, the furniture was broken, and Cui Ge and Pansy were lying on the ground, unconscious.

"That pink knight defeated Draco, and then grabbed him. Pansy had no choice but to bring him here." Luna said weakly. "Cui Ge couldn't beat him. The situation was urgent at the time, so I wanted to try, but I didn't expect that I could become Double Rider."

Harry looked at Draco again. He was full of cold sweat, his eyes closed, and his breathing was a bit weak.

"He shattered the display cabinet with one punch, our spells didn't work, and he took the diary directly." Luna continued. "I couldn't beat him either, and the power of Fang Joker was not enough."

"Send them to the hospital first." During the conversation, Snape and Madam Pomfrey also arrived at the scene. Madam Pomfrey waved her wand hurriedly, and Draco's blood stopped immediately, but he also fainted.

Harry, Ron, and Zhang Qiu helped float the fallen people and walked slowly toward the school hospital.

"That is Decade," Zhang Qiu spoke first, "a very dangerous guy, but I can't understand, how did he sneak in here?"

"Qiu, how can we become stronger?" Luna didn't follow her train of thought at all, just asked her own question. "How can we obtain the Fullbottle?"

"Oh right, you have a Fullbottle." Harry suddenly remembered that one of Zhang Qiu's bottles used for transformation was golden.

"Ah right, my Platinum Gamer." She admitted flatly. "I cleared all games at the highest difficulty, so the 'Gamer' bottle evolved into the 'Platinum Gamer' bottle as a matter of course."

"That is to say, your understanding of television games is related to Cronus's strength?" Harry frowned and asked. "This is a bit too outrageous, right?"

"Doing something you like to the extreme, this is my answer." Zhang Qiu shrugged. "Of course, I was forced by some other reasons to choose Cronus, which has limited prospects, but you all still have opportunities."

"What opportunity?" Luna asked with burning eyes.

"If both bottles become Fullbottles, you can reach the strongest." Zhang Qiu repeated her theory. "Ron is the same, you have to consider this question carefully."

"Extreme?" Ron looked confused, as if he didn't understand at all. "Whether it's swords or storybooks, I don't understand what they have to do with extreme at all."

"That should just be a metaphor. I mean, there are still traces to follow. You can try to practice swordsmanship to perfection, maybe you can evolve the 'Sword' bottle." Harry suggested.

"I think swordsmanship is already very difficult to improve." Ron was a little distressed. "I finally discovered the hidden power of the Elemental Dragon, but this only tied with the third phase of Evolt. I'm afraid I will have to deal with the fourth phase of Evolt next time, right?"

"Very likely. Decade himself shouldn't need the diary. It can only be that he and Evolt reached a deal." Zhang Qiu sighed. "The Elemental Dragon alone is not enough. Although you haven't discovered the thunder element yet, even if you fully exert the elemental power, facing the fourth phase Black Hole form of Evolt... the chance of winning is still slim."

"Evolt was seriously injured today." Snape said. "We can also get more information from Bellatrix's mouth. Now you can go to rest."

"Can I go together?" Harry asked.

"No, if Evolt attacks again, the firearm squad may fall into a melee, which is too dangerous." Snape refused with a cold face. "I don't hold much hope for interrogation, you'd better stay in school first."

Harry also didn't hold much hope for the interrogation. He felt that Bellatrix was already a bit like a half-crazy state. It is estimated that she vaguely knew that Evolt was not Voldemort, but she was unwilling to admit it. So, it is very likely that she couldn't ask anything from Bellatrix, so she didn't insist on going.

"Why is there a thunder element?" Walking on the way back to the dormitory, Ron asked suddenly. "How many elements does the Elemental Dragon have?"

"There should be five." Zhang Qiu was stunned for a moment, then answered seriously.

"But why are these five elements?" Harry asked. "The four elements of ancient Greece should be earth, air, water, and fire, while the five elements of China replace air with metal and wood. No matter how you think about it, it can't be these five elements?"

"Probably a coincidence," Zhang Qiu scratched her head, "first of all, theoretically, we can't use power other than extracts, so the elemental concept of the Elemental Dragon is actually from that sword of Gawain."

"What?" Ron looked at his hands. "I thought it came from the storybook!"

"The Tales of Beedle the Bard definitely didn't mention 'elements'." Harry analyzed. "But I thought it was from the Seven Deadly Sins at first."

"No, the main power of the Seven Deadly Sins is Fiendfyre, so Saber is still mainly fire," Zhang Qiu explained, "and Gawain's sword is made with the concept of 'Hero's Sword', which should contain six attributes of water, fire, wind, earth, light, and dark, and light and dark have no specific magical manifestation, just a theoretical alchemical attribute."

"Then where did the thunder come from?"

"Maybe because, it was struck by lightning?" Zhang Qiu said while winking at Harry frantically. "I think, seven is a number with magic, the Hero's Sword should have a seventh attribute."

Harry suddenly realized that although he had guessed, and Zhang Qiu had admitted, that Gawain's sword was an alchemical product forged by the Chinese, Ron still thought it was the sword left by the ancient British hero Gawain in the Avalon secret realm. If he rashly told the truth, it would shake Ron's state of mind.

"Is it because the sword blank used by the Chinese to forge the magic sword had a basic attribute of thunder and lightning, so it brought it into this Sword of Promised Victory?" Ron suddenly spoke the truth, which stunned Harry and Zhang Qiu.

"Don't be so surprised, Donald told me about Avalon last year." Ron shrugged. "It's not a bad thing, right?" ===== CHAPTER 437 =====
