Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 188 Tom Riddle's Amazing Plan
Mike remained unmoved by what he said, and continued to hold his wand and look vigilantly at Tom by the campfire.

Tom didn't get angry when Mike didn't respond, and said with a smile:

Mike, I have no ill will towards you. You may not believe it, but it was not me who sent the basilisk to attack you and your girlfriend, but the original owner of this body, the ridiculous and sad Percy Weasley.

Hahaha!
Sorry, I can't help laughing when I think of him.

It was really ridiculous. He complained to me like an abandoned woman, complaining that you had stolen his lover and that your girlfriend was blind and would rather choose a second-year gangster wizard than be with him, a Gryffindor prefect and a future senior official of the Ministry of Magic.

Haha, this is a common trick used by incompetent people to shirk responsibility.

He even blocked the Ravenclaw door, which was really stupid."

Tom paused, and then said in a voice almost in a dream:

“You are different from him. You are gifted, tenacious and ambitious. Perhaps we can become friends.

Don't worry, I am different from the Voldemort you know. I am not a racist. In fact, I am a mixed-race myself.

To be honest, I have summarized my original experience during this period, and finally I was surprised to find that even if he succeeded in dominating the British wizarding world in the end, it would be meaningless, because his theory of pure-blood would exclude all wizards of Muggle descent from joining, and without these fresh bloods, the wizarding world would slowly die.

So I decided to improve my original strategy. Perhaps I should be more tolerant towards those Muggle-born wizards. At the same time, we should not only focus on the wizarding world. We should overturn the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, invade the Muggle world, and make it a breeding ground for wizards.

Mike, I sincerely invite you to join my team and create a new era together! "

"Puchi!" Mike laughed out loud at Tom's bewitching voice. "Tom, when you used the Horcrux to split your soul, did you also split your IQ? How could you say such stupid things? You also want to invade the Muggle world. With your current strength and the two or three big cats and small cats under your command, do you believe that you will be wiped out before you even occupy Britain?"

As soon as he said this, the gentle smile on Tom's face finally froze, and seeing his expression, Mike decided not to waste words with him anymore. He secretly said, "He is still just a teenage Voldemort after all," and raised his hand to release the Killing Curse again.

A dazzling green light suddenly appeared, emitting a strange aura and shot straight towards Tom. However, this killing curse was easily knocked away by Tom just like its predecessor.

"It seems that this is your answer, really..."

Tom waved his hand lightly to knock away the killing curse, and was just about to say a few harsh words when a sharp spike emerged from under his feet. Although he relied on his excellent magical perception ability to discover the spike in advance and made an evasive move, his movements were too slow and the spike still pierced his foot.

"you wanna die!"

Tom's eyes turned red after eating it all. He waved the magic spell lightly in the air and a green light flashed at the tip of his wand.

Unlike Mike's Killing Curse, the Killing Curse released by Tom had no ballistic trajectory at all. Almost at the moment the green light appeared on his wand, Mike felt a horrible breath of death brushing past his cheek.

Turning his head, Mike discovered that a large tree with a radius of nearly two meters behind him had been broken in half.

Watching the big tree slowly falling down with a creaking sound, Mike couldn't help but feel lucky that he had drunk the Felicity Potion before, otherwise the killing curse would have hit him directly.

Tom's spellcasting technique of making it impossible to see the movement track of the spell was so terrifying that Mike couldn't react at all.

However, the fact that the Killing Curse just now did not hit him has already shown that although Tom in front of him has a lot of spellcasting skills, the magic power he possesses is still Percy's magic, and at most is at the level of a seventh-year student in Hogwarts.

Otherwise, in the face of absolute strength, the luck bonus of the lucky potion will not work at all.

Just as Mike was thinking, Tom took the opportunity to break free from the thorns, pouted his lips and whistled. Then, dense rustling sounds were heard in the dense forest around the open space, and then one after another, eight-eyed giant spiders came out of the dense forest and attacked Mike.

At the same time, Tom was not idle either. Regardless of his bleeding feet, he waved the wand in his hand repeatedly, casting one spell after another as if they were free.

Faced with Tom's terrifying spellcasting skills that could hit the target almost instantly, Mike, who knew the magical effect of the Felicity Potion, didn't even have the desire to dodge. He directly used multiple spellcasting skills to summon three layers of armor to protect himself, then turned around and released a fire spell at the eight-eyed giant spiders.

Huge flames rose up, and in just a few breaths, the open space in the forbidden forest turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the flames continued to spread to the dense forest outside the open space.

Faced with this wave of fire that was like a huge wave in the sea, the few eight-eyed giant spiders in the front didn't even have time to scream, and were burned to ashes in almost an instant.

It was not known whether the eight-eyed giant spiders that followed were lucky or unfortunate. Although they were not attacked by the most violent first wave of fire, they were continuously burned by the spreading flames and finally died screaming in the sea of ​​fire.

Mike looked at the eight-eyed giant spiders struggling in the flames in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. He lowered his hands and walked slowly towards Tom as if taking a walk.

Wherever Mike went, the flames automatically separated to both sides, forming a path for Mike to pass through, as if Mike was the master of the flames.

Most of the spells flying towards Mike inexplicably deviated from their original targets under the effect of the Felicity Potion, and the very few spells that hit the target were powerless in the face of the three layers of armor protecting Mike, and could only explode in front of Mike with a brilliant light before disappearing.

"Tom, you are too weak. I can't believe that a weakling like you could be Voldemort in your school days."

Mike unscrupulously laughed at Tom who was struggling to hold on in the sea of ​​fire relying on the protection of armor, but Tom did not talk back at Mike's ridicule. He just stared at Mike who was slowly approaching with a ferocious expression and without saying a word.

Tom knew very well that he was not in a good position to speak in this situation. No matter what he said, the other party would definitely use the words he had just used to describe Percy to describe him.

As for Mike, although he spoke arrogantly, he did not let his guard down.

Mike knew very well that the fundamental reason why he could defeat Tom was that Tom was now using Percy's body and he also used the Felixir.

The former limited Tom's strength, making him have a lot of spellcasting skills but unable to exert 100% of his combat power.

The latter allows Mike to almost ignore Tom's terrifying trackless casting skills.

If it weren't for the Fuling potion, I would probably be the one being beaten today.

Mike finally stopped in the sea of ​​fire, standing not far from Tom and using his mental power to direct the surrounding flames to gather towards where Tom was. Although Tom wanted to escape, a big hole was pierced in his right foot by the ground spikes, and he had no way to break through Mike's fire attack due to his impaired mobility. However, his armor protection spell seemed to have some high-end casting skills, and it did not break even after being burned in the sea of ​​fire for so long.

But Mike was not in a hurry at all. He was still injured and was not suitable for doing strenuous exercise.

Judging from the magic power currently in his body, he can sustain a fire attack of this scale for at least half an hour. If Tom is scorched by high temperature for such a long time, he will be burned into a roasted chicken even if his armor is strong.

However, at this moment, an arrow suddenly appeared, whizzed through the flames in the open space, and directly hit Mike in the center of the sea of ​​fire.

There was a sound of breaking glass, and the armor on Mike's body, which was reduced to only one layer by Tom's continuous spells, was shattered directly. An arrow flashing with cold light did not slow down after piercing through the transparent shield, and still shot towards Mike's head.

Just when the arrow was about to hit Mike, the Duel Champion President who was pinned to Mike's underwear suddenly emitted a white light, and then a translucent shield appeared in front of Mike again, directly knocking the arrow away.

The arrow fell to the ground with an almost inaudible sound. Mike stared at the arrow on the ground with his mouth wide open, cold sweat oozing out of every pore of his body.

'I almost died!'

This line of big words automatically appeared in his mind. The arrow just now was only three centimeters away from his head. If the duel champion badge was just a few tenths of a second later, the arrow would have pierced his head.

Mike's body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and a strong feeling of fear arose.

But then, the fear turned into anger.

Mike clenched his fists and looked fiercely in the direction where the arrow came from, then he saw a centaur with the upper body of a human man and the lower body of a horse walking out of the darkness with a bow and arrow in his hand.

"Luke! Kill him! He's a crazy arsonist!"

The moment the centaur appeared, Tom roared at it as if he had found a life-saving straw.

And the centaur did not disappoint him. After hearing Tom's words, he immediately drew his bow and arrow and locked his target on Mike in the sea of ​​fire again.

"Warrior who killed the King of the Acromantula, your enemies are my enemies!"

There was a loud sound of a bowstring, and an arrow shot towards Mike again.

Mike certainly wouldn't sit there and wait for death. He swung his wand while running, not only shooting down the arrows but also entering stealth mode.

The next moment, Mike appeared in front of Tom.

Tom's mental strength is not low, and Mike's illusion spell is basically ineffective in front of him, so when Mike appeared in front of him, there was no panic on his face, and he even had a hint of joy in his heart.

Because just as Mike guessed, Tom actually had a trump card that he hadn't revealed. Originally, Mike was too far away and Tom couldn't guarantee that this trump card could kill Mike 100%, but now that Mike had appeared in front of him, things were different.

Thinking of this, Tom sneered and pointed his wand at Mike who was close to him.

However, just as he was about to cast the spell, a pitch-black raven suddenly flew out from Mike's neck.

"Gah!"

The raven Papi made a shrill cry, and Tom felt a sharp pain in his brain. The wand that was originally pointing at Mike fell to the ground unconsciously.

Taking this opportunity, Mike reached his right hand into a traceless stretching spell bag tied to his left waist.

Suddenly a golden light flashed, and Mike pulled out the Sword of Victory and Oath from the Traceless Stretching Spell Bag and slashed towards Tom from bottom to top.

"puff!"

Like a red-hot knife cutting through butter, the Sword of Victory and Oath easily cut through the translucent shield in front of Tom. There was a sound of the sword cutting through flesh, and one of Tom's arms was severed.

Tom fell to the ground with a scream, covering his broken arm and rolling over. Blood kept spraying from the broken arm onto the ground and was immediately absorbed by the soil. Soon the ground around Tom was dyed dark red.

Mike, who cut off Tom's arm, turned his head to avoid the arrow shot by the centaur in the distance, raised his hand and shot a killing curse in the direction of the arrow.

The Centaur in the dense forest in the distance looked at the green light representing death, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He could easily avoid this speed curse.

However, just as he stomped his four legs on the ground to avoid the landing point of the killing curse, he saw that the green light that should have missed suddenly changed direction and hit the centaur directly in the chest in front of its astonished gaze.

Seeing the Centaur falling to the ground after being hit by the Killing Curse, a smile appeared on Mike's face. He turned around and began to search Tom's body.

The Horcruxes made by Voldemort are very different from those made by Ravenclaw. The purpose of Ravenclaw's diadem is to allow its main soul to be reborn in another body, while Voldemort's diadem is only to ensure that his soul will be immortal when he dies unexpectedly.

So compared to the almost perfect possession of body that can be achieved by the crown, the Horcruxes made by Voldemort have some more flaws in controlling people's minds, such as distance.

This means that the reason why Tom Riddle was able to control Percy was because the Horcrux diary was very close to Percy, and it was very likely on Percy's body.

Sure enough, Mike didn't search Percy for long before he found the legendary Horcrux, Tom Riddle's notebook, in a hidden pocket inside Percy's robe.

Tom's eyes turned green when he saw the notebook, and he even tried to use his other hand to stop Mike from taking the diary, despite his bleeding wound.

However, Tom, who had lost too much blood and had a broken arm, was no match for Mike. Mike only used one blow to knock him unconscious and fall to the ground.
