Wizardry System - Chapter 77

“Dominic!” A blonde frizzy-haired woman shouted as she started racing towards falling Dominic whose soul has already left his body. However, before she could get close, more green lights started to appear forcing her to move away in order to dodge it.

The rest of the group moved slightly away from each other as well in order to give each other space to dodge the killing curses. However, the awaited killing curses didn’t arrive. Instead around 45 people wearing black hooded robes appeared out of the forest. They surrounded the group like the group had done to the Death Eaters earlier. A few seconds after the Death Eaters revealed themselves, 3 more people not wearing a hooded robe stepped out of their hiding spot.

“Rodolphus Lestrange, Thorfinn Rowle, and Walden McNair… What are they doing here? Even among the Death Eaters, they’re at the top. They’re not supposed to come out in a small mission like this…” The frizzy-haired woman muttered shakily. Her body started to tremble and she almost fell down due to fear.

“Well well well, look at who is here right now!” Rodolphus shouted with a happy tone. “It looks like the resistance sent us Harry Potter right at our doorsteps wrapped in wrapping paper and a bow on top for decoration! We’ll gladly take this gift of theirs to the Dark Lord!”

The three Death Eaters smiled while thinking about the praises they’ll receive from their lord. Rodolphus scanned the group a little bit more and his eyes landed on Chris.

“Ah Mr. Evergreen. We also have many uses for you and your family. It seems that you’re also a great gift for the Dark Lord. I’ll gift Potter and McNair will gift you. Rowle will have to find someone here that’s suitable for the Dark Lord as a gift. Maybe a mudblood for the Dark Lord to play with. I’m sure that it’ll be a great stress reliever for him. Oh yes, our little spy, come back to us,” Rodolphus said.

Everyone was surprised and was even more shocked to see Luthor slowly go to Rodolphus’ side.

“You dimwit! You’re too slow. Come faster next time. The Dark Lord is not a patient person especially matters concerning Potter,” Rodolphus said as he hit Luthor’s head. “Originally, we were planning on keeping this dimwit in your base for a little longer to get more information, but I suppose for the sake of Potter, using him early was worth it,”

“Then if you had that traitor on your side this entire time why let all 30 of your men die? I suppose the Dark Lord loves sacrificing people for no reason,” Chris said trying to buy some time.

“You impudent… The Dark Lord merely wanted to root out the spy in that small group,” Walden said. “Well I suppose that since you left no one unharmed, there’s no spy within that group. It doesn’t matter though. Once Potter is lost, we will win the war,”

“No need to say everything to people that are going die Walden,” Thorfinn said angrily at Walden. “Kill them all except for Potter and Evergreen,”

At his command, the other Death Eaters got ready to attack. However, before they started to attack, many of them were hit on the back with various spells ranging from the Stunning spell to the Incarcerous Spell.

“Looks like my worries were right,” Chris said. “Luckily, the commander didn’t let us down,”

The invisible wizards and witches that Cassia sent revealed themselves and gave an effective surprise attack on the Death Eaters and were able to take out a quarter of them. However, the remaining Death Eaters quickly composed themselves and positioned themselves to fight. They quickly shot their killing curses and the fight began.

Chris’ group quickly started to shoot their spells as well. The frizzy-haired woman angrily rushed towards Luthor.

“In honor of Dominic, I will kill you!” She said as she started to rapidly cast powerful spells that left no room for Luthor to counterattack.

“I knew that you liked Dominic for a while Lilly. Didn’t you say that you wanted to confess to him a while back? Well you can confess to him in hell! I cannot beat people like Rodolphus, but I can kill a witch like you in my sleep!” Luthor said as he was defending himself from Lilly’s spell.

Meanwhile there were 2 people that surrounded Chris and another two that surrounded ‘Harry’. Chris quickly walked next to ‘Harry’

“Don’t reveal yourself until the battle is decidedly over. If they know that we tricked them, they’ll retreat since they’re fighting a losing battle. If they think that they have a chance of killing or capturing Harry Potter, they’ll stay until the very end or at the very least until their forces are almost annihilated,” Chris whispered.

‘Harry’ nodded and the two started their fight against the Death Eaters surrounding them.

Meanwhile, as there were 25 people in the invisible group, Rodolphus, Walden, and Thorfinn were fighting 3 people each with all 9 people being the strongest within both the invisible group and Chris’ group.

“This doesn’t look good for us Walden. Should we retreat?” Rodolphus asked as he defended himself with difficulty.

“We can’t,” McNair said. “If the Dark Lord hears that we retreated when Potter was in our hands, he’ll kill us himself. I’d rather kill Potter then die rather than dying a dog’s death because we failed a mission,”

With the Dark Lord’s anger acting as motivation, the three desperately fought against the 9 people.
