Chapter 163: Quirrell's Death (Second Update)
Chapter 163: Quirrell's Death (Second Update)
With the Disguise Charm and Superhuman Mode, Jerry immediately transformed into a top-tier stealth expert. He cautiously made his way in the direction of the mournful cries.
Two minutes later, Jerry crouched on a tree branch, parting the leaves before his eyes to peer at a clearing a hundred meters away.
There, a figure shrouded in a black wizard robe had already used Magic to pin a unicorn to the ground and was about to cut open its belly with a dagger to drink its blood.
The unicorn was moaning in pain, as if it already knew its fate.
"Dragon's Den! Invisibility!"
Jerry didn't act immediately. Instead, he first used the Snake Summoning Charm to summon three Black Mambas, cloaking them with the Disguise Charm. Then he clasped his hands together and began to form the most powerful single-target attack, the Particle Cannon.
Using the Killing Curse would have been better at this moment, but since the Killing Curse was Voldemort's forte, he feared it might not be effective. Therefore, he chose the Particle Cannon from another world.
As soon as the basketball-sized Particle Cannon took shape, Jerry, fearing the bright light would be noticed by Quirrell a hundred meters away, didn't hesitate to push it forward.
The powerful Particle Cannon moved at incredible speed, crossing the distance in a blink and smashing into Quirrell's back.
"Watch out behind you!"
At that moment, Voldemort, who was in the back of Quirrell's head, suddenly sensed something and urgently warned the blood-drinking Quirrell.
As a top-tier dark wizard, Quirrell's reaction was swift. Before he could even turn around, he already pointed his wand behind him and cast a Shield Charm.
The powerful Particle Cannon and the Shield Charm collided with a deafening boom, a blinding light instantly bursting in the center of the Forbidden Forest.
"Ouch!"
Just as Quirrell was struggling to maintain the Shield Charm against the Particle Cannon, he suddenly felt intense pain in his feet, nearly making him drop his wand.
"Idiot, there are three invisible venomous snakes at your feet. Deal with them first!"
Voldemort, who could understand Parseltongue, detected the three invisible Black Mambas even though they were under the Disguise Charm. However, since the snakes were summoned and controlled by Jerry, Voldemort couldn't command them to leave.
"Fiendfyre!"
Holding his wand in his right hand to maintain the Shield Charm, Quirrell used wandless casting with his left hand to cast Fiendfyre in a circle around himself, instantly incinerating the three Black Mambas.
He then immediately pulled out a bottle of Advanced Antidote Potion and drank it.
"Indeed, the reason the ambush last time succeeded was mainly because Quirrell was careless at school!"
Seeing Quirrell deftly counter his attack, Jerry realized that a serious Quirrell was quite powerful, especially with Voldemort strategizing from the back of his head.
He believed that even if he had used a sniper tranquilizer gun instead of the Particle Cannon, it would have been impossible to succeed given Quirrell's heightened vigilance.
"However, it's not that simple!"
Seeing the Particle Cannon explode without breaking Quirrell's powerful Shield Charm and the invisible Black Mambas failing to have much effect, Jerry didn't lose heart. Instead, a smug smirk appeared on his lips.
"Ahh, my eyes, ears, and buttocks!"
This time, Quirrell let out a far more agonizing scream. Blood flowed from his eyes and ears, and his left hand clutched his groin.
It turned out that after throwing the Particle Cannon, Jerry had immediately followed up with Silver Needles. When his three Black Mambas were burned by Fiendfyre and Quirrell was drinking the antidote potion, Jerry remotely controlled the Silver Needles to pierce various weak points on Quirrell's body, including two that struck the back of his head.
“Damn it, use Apparition to escape from here!”
Without even seeing their enemy, Voldemort, with his extensive battle experience, endured the pain on his face and urgently ordered Quirrell to use Apparition to retreat.
Quirrell couldn't die. If Quirrell died, Voldemort's soul fragment would have to attach to some small animal again.
So, the most important thing right now wasn't to kill the unknown wizard who ambushed them, nor to drink Unicorn blood to extend his life. The priority was to escape, to save their lives first.
Quirrell clearly understood this. Enduring the pain, he continued to maintain the Shield Charm to prevent further attacks while preparing to Apparate away.
As long as they could leave this place, the injuries he had sustained wouldn't be a big deal. Healing magic and potions could easily restore him. However, just as he was halfway through the incantation, he suddenly collapsed unconscious.
At that moment, a green light followed from a distance, striking Quirrell precisely.
Quirrell, dead!
"Damn Death Eater, daring to betray me!"
The Killing Curse wasn't exclusive to Death Eaters, but it was explicitly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic. Any wizard who dared to use the Killing Curse was likely a former Death Eater in Voldemort's eyes.
With Quirrell dead, Voldemort's soul fragment flew out from the back of Quirrell's head. Rather than pursuing the source of the Killing Curse, it shot straight into the sky and fled.
Although Voldemort's soul fragment was immortal due to the Horcrux, that didn't mean it couldn't be weakened or imprisoned.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hiding in Albania all this time.
Seeing Voldemort's soul fly away without stopping, Jerry sighed in relief and cautiously approached Professor Quirrell's body.
He waved his wand to retrieve the Silver Needles and cast a Healing Charm on the Unicorn, which had a gash on its abdomen. He then immediately removed the Binding Charm.
Drawing from his experience fighting Aurors in France, he had specially coated each Silver Needle with a powerful anesthetic that could instantly paralyze an elephant. If he had done this before, the battle would have ended as soon as the Aurors were pricked by the needles.
Searching through Quirrell's body, Jerry quickly found a Storage Box.
"Looks like Quirrell made another identical Box after the one he lost a few months ago!"
Opening the Panel, he saw that the Little Red Stars had significantly increased, nearly reaching ten thousand.
Although Voldemort's soul fragment hadn't been killed, killing Quirrell had thwarted Voldemort's plan to steal the Philosopher's Stone for his resurrection. It also saved the sacred Unicorn.
Speaking of the Unicorn, as Jerry was searching the body, the Unicorn, which he had healed, slowly stood up.
"You're safe now, you can leave!"
Jerry smiled and waved at the Unicorn.
Harming a Unicorn would bring a terrible curse. He wasn't a heartless monster like Quirrell and Voldemort, so he naturally wouldn't dare to harm the Unicorn.
"Neigh!"
The snow-white Unicorn looked at Jerry with gratitude, its horn glowing with a white light, before it slowly walked away.
Caught off guard by the Unicorn's white light, Jerry was stunned for a full minute before he regained his senses and thanked the Unicorn.
