Chapter 76: Ding, Your Headmaster Dumbledore is on His Way to Support You
Chapter 76: Ding, Your Headmaster Dumbledore is on His Way to Support You
"Avada Kedavra!"
A green light struck the spot where Ivan had been, and a deep, raspy voice echoed through the hall.
With his excellent dynamic vision, Ivan had already dodged before Voldemort could finish his wand movement.
Perhaps due to the bloodline fusion, Ivan felt a noticeable increase in his physical strength and overall body attributes, making him feel much lighter.
Voldemort, possessing Quirrell, disappointedly waved his wand to cast another spell, but at that moment, Harry had already charged towards his position.
"Get out of my way!" Voldemort, whose face was unrecognizable and body covered in wounds, kicked Harry away with a single foot.
If he were in better condition, Voldemort might have enjoyed toying with these two Young Wizards, savoring their expressions of despair. However, the pain he was enduring in this deteriorated body left him with no patience.
Harry, hit hard, lay on the ground, nearly vomiting his lunch. He clutched his stomach, struggling to get up. In the Mirror of Erised behind Voldemort, he vaguely saw another version of himself lying on the ground, winking at him and placing an irregular stone-like object into his robes.
Harry felt something hard in his pocket and guessed what it was, but he had no time to check. He saw Voldemort raising his wand and aiming at him.
"Incendio!" At the critical moment, Ivan, who had recovered, cast a Flame Spell at Voldemort.
The flames enveloped Voldemort, but Ivan was far from happy. The situation was completely out of his control, and he wasn't sure if he could defeat Voldemort, even in his weakened state.
The Flame Spell only delayed Voldemort for less than a second. A large cloud of black mist emerged from Voldemort's damaged body, extinguishing the flames.
Voldemort's face twisted in rage as he shouted, "Flame Spell? It's you!"
He had felt Ivan's voice was familiar earlier, and now he was certain that this young wizard, who didn't look much older than a child, was the one who had caused his current misery.
"I said it was an accident that day, would you believe me?" Ivan said guiltily.
Another green light shot towards him, and Harry was in no better shape. The black mist surrounding Voldemort was already engulfing him, moving too fast for him to escape.
"Ivan, catch! I'll hold him off, you run!" Harry, gritting his teeth, threw the Philosopher's Stone to Ivan, then forced himself to stand and charged into the black mist, running towards Voldemort with a determination to die.
He knew that Ivan had drunk a large amount of Fire-Resistant Potion, which would last for a long time, making him the only one who could cross the black flames. With Ivan's strength, he could easily pass through the berserk chessboard, deliver the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore, and prevent Voldemort's resurrection.
Ivan instinctively caught what Harry threw, and only then realized it was the Philosopher's Stone.
When he turned back, Ivan saw Harry being overwhelmed by the black mist and collapsing on the ground, his fate unknown. Voldemort, without even a thought of finishing Harry off, stared intensely at the irregular stone in Ivan's hand.
Harry, you actually betrayed me!
Ivan was so angry he wanted to swear. The main combat force had just fainted, leaving him alone. How was he supposed to fight now?
At that moment, the System notification sounded.
[Ding, obtained the Philosopher's Stone, the task to seize the Philosopher's Stone has been updated.
Task objective: Hold out for five minutes or kill Quirrell (Voldemort)
Task reward: Relevant Alchemy knowledge
Task hint: Your headmaster Dumbledore is on his way to provide support, and it will take about five minutes.]
"Go to hell, Dumbledore, would it kill you to use Apparition to teleport here for support?!" Ivan finally couldn't hold back his profanity.
He had been working hard for the school these past few days, and Dumbledore treated him like this. Ivan felt like crying.
Hearing Ivan mention Dumbledore, Voldemort was momentarily startled, even forgetting about seizing the Philosopher's Stone. He looked around fearfully.
However, Voldemort's face soon turned dark because he sensed no one else around.
Moreover, if Dumbledore were nearby, he would have been dead by now.
"It seems Dumbledore didn't tell you that Hogwarts is protected by magic, making it impossible for anyone to use Apparition here", Voldemort mocked Ivan's ignorance.
Ivan rolled his eyes, thinking Voldemort was naive to believe Dumbledore's lies. No wonder he would be so badly betrayed in the future.
That old bee was a master of Apparition, teleporting around Hogwarts multiple times in the future, even with people in tow.
After all, Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts, enjoying privileges that others didn't have.
"Hand over the Philosopher's Stone!" Voldemort extended his withered, charred arm and approached Ivan, who was hiding behind cover. The fingers on his hand were barely connected to the bone by a thin layer of skin, looking extremely repulsive.
This broken body made it impossible for Voldemort to run, and even his movements were slow.
Ivan shook his head resolutely, saying nothing. He didn't believe that handing over the Philosopher's Stone would make Voldemort spare him.
"Philosopher's Stone, come to me!" Voldemort lost his last bit of patience, pointing his wand at the Philosopher's Stone in Ivan's hand.
The irregular stone trembled in Ivan's palm, but to his surprise, it only quivered twice and then stopped, not flying out of his hand.
Voldemort was also surprised by this, but then he became excited. This indicated that the Philosopher's Stone contained far more magic than he had imagined, otherwise, it wouldn't have resisted his Summoning Charm from such a close distance.
With the power of the Philosopher's Stone, he might truly be able to resurrect!
"Flock of birds!" Ivan didn't miss the brief moment of Voldemort's distraction. With a wave of his wand, the debris on the ground transformed into a flock of birds that shot towards Voldemort.
The flock of birds was just a means to restrict Voldemort's movements, followed by a brilliant purple light.
Unfortunately, as streams of terrifying flames erupted from Voldemort's wand, the flock of birds was incinerated by the Fiendfyre, and the brilliant purple light was blocked by the thick black mist surrounding Voldemort.
