Reaper Of The Wizarding World - Volume 1 Chapter 44 Extermination Iii
He looks up at me floating above him “You did this?”
I don’t respond and just watch him walk over and take a knee in front of a corpse.
He closes the eyes and speaks softly “May the Ancestors welcome you.”
He stands up and looks at me again. His eyes showing a writhing hatred lingering just behind the sadness. He still, however, gives a curt bow pulling his cape over his chest as he leans his head down.
“My name is Aadit Marius Von Bogdan The Second, I formally request a duel to the death as a member of the house of Bogdan and Leader of this Clutch.” His face stays stone as he speaks but his eyes say many things.
I speak in my monotone voice ‘You never had the chance to leave alive anyway.’
He grits his sharp teeth as he rushes me at speeds I barely see. I just watch him approach calmly waiting for him to hit me.
His hands turn into sharp claws as he swipes hard at my chest area. I let him hit me, I get pushed back but nothing happens to me.
If I could smile I would, I left my fog on my chest so when he struck my it would latch to him. But to my surprise, he decisively cuts off his own hand.
He leaps back away from me as his hand regrows at a rapid and visible pace.
He looks up at me “You’re far too large to be a Dementor, and your powers are also strange what are you?”
‘I am your Death.’ My dry voice speaks as I rush at him with four tendrils around me ready to pierce him.
He dodges quickly to my left but I was ready for it. A fifth tendril sprouts from my fog and pierces his throat expanding quickly to sever his head.
But something unexpected happens his body reaches out and grabs the severed head and runs away with it. I was caught off guard so I let him run, he stopped at the other end of the clearing near the massive amount of corpses.
He positioned his head over his destroyed neck as it began to repair itself. Arms of blood reached out and connected his head to his body as it quickly healed.
He rolled his neck around stretching as he spoke. “Those types of things don’t work on True-Blood vampires.”
I’m honestly shocked at what just happened but I don’t show it on my rotting face. ‘Then we will see how you fair having your soul torn out.’
He ignores my statement and raises an arm to me. “Since physical won’t work I’ll try this.” White wisps begin to leak from his hand as they take the shape of a large bat the size of a dog.
Seeing he produced a Patronus I quickly transform out of my Dementor form. I raise my wand “Expecto Patronum” and with a flick wisps burst from my wand forming the shape of my Patronus.
My Nundu begins chasing the large bat, like a cat chasing a bird. This puts me in a predicament; I can’t shift back to Dementor form without undoing my Patronus. But if I do that his Patronus will be able to hold me down.
Aadit looks shocked “You’re a child?!” But looking up at the giant Nundu Patronus in front of him he looks even more shocked.
Looking back at me he speaks “But now you can be hurt.” He runs at me again with newfound vigor.
I’m still tired from fighting all the others so I can’t cast much, I have to use my spells wisely. I use my cloak to fly up a large tree and look down at him. Where I was once standing has a hole in the ground and Aadit is looking up at me anger on his face.
He had stomped the ground hard enough that half his foot was in it and cracks webbed over five feet away from the hole. He pulls his foot out of the hole and crouches down as he launches himself at me leaving cracks on the ground from where he jumped.
I smile at his foolish action since he won’t be able to dodge me in air. My fog quickly forms into a thick arm as I slam my arm down so does the new arm of fog.
To my surprise it misses and Aadit seems to have vanished. I look around quickly with my eyes closed to find and see he is above me. I open my eyes to look up and see a bat flying above me, I point my wand at it as I use my cloak to float off the tree.
“Flipendo” I hit one of his wings and he comes tumbling down hitting the tree on his way. As he is about to hit the ground he shifts into his vampire form and lands on all fours as his cloak flutters. He looks up at me and pounces at me like a cat.
I send my arm of fog at him forcing him to jump away. I aim at where he will land with my wand and cast.
“Orbis.” As he lands the ground begins to suck him into it causing him to struggle violently. But his struggle does nothing the ground is like quicksand and devours him up to his neck.
I look back and see that my Patronus is in the process of tearing his apart and I smile. I turn back and walk up to him.
“It’s your loss time to die.” I smile and am about to shift into my Dementor form but he speaks first.
“Wait, at least tell me why you did it, why did you kill everyone.” His face is still cold but his eyes have a fading light inside.
“Because you tried to kill my family, NO ONE, touches my family.” I look at him with cold eyes and begin to transform.
His face is flabbergaster but quickly turns to rage, the rage he had been holding this whole time. “YOU MEAN YOU SLAUGHTERED MY KIN OVER SOMEONE I ‘ALMOST’ KILLED!” His face twists in anger as he yells.
He is about to yell again but I grab him by the neck pulling him out of the ground. My fog covers his body leaving him limp looking at me with fury.
My cold voice rings in his ears as my grip on his neck tightens ‘My sister’s life is worth any number of your Kin. Now die knowing you are the reason for their suffering.’
I put my face up to his and begin wretching the soul from his body. He is trying with everything he has to fight back but it is hopeless. He begins gagging as his soul reaches his throat, tears falling from his eyes. As I finish consuming his soul I feel a similar sense of fullness that I got from Sirius.
I drop his limp corpse on the ground and transform back into my human form. It would be smart to go through everything the vampires had and take anything useful.
