Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis also returned to human form from the appearance of a dragon, slowly landed on the ground, and looked at Dumbledore quietly.

Although the battle just now did not satisfy him, it at least allowed him to stretch his muscles.

Dumbledore slowly raised his wand, his eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity.

"Hephis, this is my last resort. Even I cannot fully control its power. I hope you can take it."

Hephis smiled slightly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Come on, Dumbledore, show me your strongest strength."

Dumbledore gripped his wand tightly, drew complex trajectories in the air with his hands, and kept muttering ancient spells.

Finally he shouted loudly, "Wrath of the Sun!"

As the spell was completed, a blue fireball the size of an apple emerged from the tip of his wand.

Hephis frowned slightly. Even though the fireball was blue, it just meant that the temperature was slightly higher.

Dumbledore would not end the duel with such a trick.

However, at the moment when the fireball was fully formed.

It appeared in front of Hephaestus in an instant, as if it had traveled through space.

Hephis' heart tightened. He could already feel the aura of destruction carried by the fireball.

Almost instinctively, Hephis quickly used the armor and shadow cover to protect himself.

The fireball hit the barrier formed by the Iron Armor Spell and exploded instantly, releasing intense light and heat.

At the moment of the explosion, the surrounding space seemed to be ignited, forming a black hole of space that swallowed everything.

This black hole triggered a chain reaction, and the surrounding space began to collapse.

All matter it touches shatters like a mirror.

Hephis was at the center of the explosion, so it was the most affected.

He was almost instantly swallowed up by the powerful suction force of the black hole in space.

Dumbledore was also shocked when he saw this scene.

He hurriedly began to stabilize the space around him, trying to buy a chance for Hephis to escape.

This spell was developed by him and Gellert together.

This is also his first time using it.

Although he had some guesses about the spell, he did not expect it to be so powerful.

He is very regretful now. What if Hephis really can't come back because of this?

He really got into big trouble.

Dumbledore's face showed deep worry, and he waved his wand more eagerly.

Hephis was now in a dark space.

This is the heart of a black hole in space, a strange space between reality and nothingness.

He is now looking at this different dimension with great interest.

Rather than saying that he was sucked in by the black hole in space, it would be more accurate to say that he gave up resistance and came in on his own.

At the moment the black hole appeared, he actually had many ways to escape.

The simplest one is to use the hanging ring to open the mirror space.

In that case, no matter how much the real space collapses, it will not affect him.

But he did nothing because he had a sense of familiarity with this black hole space.

It was as if it had some kind of connection with the depths of one's soul.

He looked around and saw only a gray void. There was no concept of up, down, left, or right, only endless darkness.

He flew quickly in one direction.

He had a hunch that the answer he wanted was in that direction.

Time seems to have lost its meaning here.

He didn't know how long he had been flying, perhaps a long day, or perhaps just a moment.

Finally, in front of him, he saw four objects emitting silver-white light.

They stand out particularly in this dark space.

He accelerated his flight and soon arrived at the light source.

When he saw those things clearly, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

He asked why it felt familiar, isn’t this his black hole space?

Those four light sources were exactly the four books of the world that he had placed.

Hephis picked up the four books and found that they had undergone strange changes.

The words on the pages seemed to come alive and flow endlessly.

Although he still couldn't decipher the words, shadows appeared in all four books.

Now that we have a shadow, everything will be easy.

He was in no rush to crack the secrets of the books; after all, he was still in the duel.

If he didn't come back soon, everyone might think he was dead.

So he waved his hand casually, and a dark cave appeared in front of him.

Without any hesitation, he stepped into the cave and instantly disappeared into the dark space.

Hephis reappeared on the stage silently.

At this time, Dumbledore was concentrating on casting magic, trying to stabilize the collapsing space.

The surrounding audience fell into chaos, with panic and screams one after another.

There were even quite a few Shadow members who had already run down from the stands and rushed towards the ring.

Hephes' sudden disappearance undoubtedly cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of everyone present.

Hephis gently clenched his fist towards the space that was still collapsing.

The space seemed to be a curtain torn apart by invisible hands, and was distorted in an instant.

However, as he loosened his fist, the wrinkles and cracks miraculously smoothed out.

The space regained its tranquility and integrity, as if nothing had happened.

Dumbledore's head turned sharply.

When he saw Hephes standing there unharmed, he was visibly relieved.

As long as nothing happens to Hephis.

Hephis clapped his hands gently. Although the sound was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone.

Those who were still in panic looked in the direction of the sound.

When they saw Hephis standing on the ring unharmed, their nervousness gradually subsided.

One by one, they slowly returned to their seats.

"Dumbledore, that trick you just used was quite interesting. Can you tell me how you did it later?"

Hephis asked with a smile.

"Of course no problem." Dumbledore agreed readily.

Then he spread his hands out, his wand gleaming in the sunlight.

His voice resounded throughout the place, "'Sun's Wrath' is already my most powerful spell.

Now that you have returned safely, there is no need to continue this duel.

I lost this duel."

Hephis did not refute, he could see that Dumbledore really didn't want to fight anymore.

So he chose to respect the other party's decision.

He gently hooked his fingers, and the Elder Wand flew from Dumbledore's hand and fell into his hand.

According to the rules of wizard duels, the one who captures the other's wand is the winner.

The whole audience instantly erupted into thunderous applause and cheers.

Those voices merged into a torrent, resounding through the sky.

"king!"

"king!"

"king!"

The shouts became louder and louder.
