Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 578 Backstab Success
Using magic perception to observe the scenes in each warehouse, the smile on Mike's mouth became brighter and brighter.

The reason they came here to carefully plan a backstab to the Ministry of Magic was not only to accomplish their goal in one fell swoop, but also for the massive amount of supplies stored here.

As long as he has the supplies here, even if this backstab plan fails to achieve the desired effect, Mike will be able to put the Ministry of Magic into an embarrassing state of supply shortage, leading to its slow death.

Thinking of this, Mike moved.

He walked slowly in the long corridor, waving his arms with a smile on his face as he walked.

The elderberry wand flew up and down in Mike's hand like a musician's baton, and as Mike moved, the doors on both sides of the corridor opened one after another.

Immediately afterwards, tiny invisible blades flew in, taking the lives of the house-elves one after another.

Here, Mike had to admire the talent of Professor Snape. The Hierophant he created has now completely replaced the Fire Spell and officially became Mike's most commonly used offensive spell.

This is a very normal thing. After all, the Divine Sword Shadowless Spell is so useful.

The casting process is concealed, consumes little energy, is sudden, and also has the healing reduction properties unique to curses.

And with Mike's legendary magic and spiritual blessing, its power and controllability are greatly enhanced.

And most importantly, its applicability is among the best of all spells.

It can be transformed into a spell of mass destruction like the one Mike had just used in the Abuse of Magic Office.

You can also do it like this first, and achieve precise killing of the target without damaging surrounding objects and buildings.

With the help of the improved version of the Sharp Sword Shadowless Spell, Mike quickly cleared the entire logistics department and came to the end of the corridor.

What appeared in front of him at this moment was a dark red solid wood door with a warning sign hanging on it, with the words "Minister's Office" written in large letters.

Mike pointed the wand in his hand and the door opened with a click.

Mike walked in slowly and saw an extremely luxurious office.

No! It is not appropriate to describe this place as an office. Compared with the usual office, this place is more like a noble's study.

But at this moment, there was no sign of Chris in the study.

Mike looked around the study room carefully, and Benjamin appeared behind him unknowingly.

"Done?"

Mike said without turning his head.

Upon hearing this, Benjamin lowered his head slightly and replied:
"Yes, Mike. Now the entire Department of Magical Law Enforcement is under our control. Of course, the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office has also been protected by me. The people in charge of this matter are the two Weasley brothers."

"Good job." Mike continued, "Then let's start moving the supplies."

"I understand, but the Aurors and strikers from other floors have also gathered here. If we call all the people to move the supplies, then the downstairs might..."

"I understand. Leave it to me."

Mike said with a smile, and then walked downstairs with a smile.

By the time he returned to the second floor underground, it had already turned into a battlefield.

Under the leadership of Arthur, Franklin and his party, as well as the twenty elite Los Saint wizards, were fighting with the Ministry of Magic's strikers and Aurors at the elevator entrance.

The elevator entrance of the Ministry of Magic is not much different from that in Muggle buildings. It is straight up and down, which is very advantageous for Arthur and others who attack from top to bottom.

It was precisely because of this geographical advantage that Arthur and his men were able to resist the attack of the Ministry of Magic, which had a force several times theirs, with such a small number of people.

"Mike, you're here."

Franklin turned his head to avoid a killing curse and greeted Mike excitedly.

He was different from others. Not only did he not feel any fear about this extremely dangerous battlefield, but on the contrary he enjoyed it very much.

"Ah, here I come." Mike nodded, walked straight through the crowd and came to the front of the battlefield, "Leave this to me, you guys go to the underground floor and move the supplies."

Hearing this, Arthur and Franklin looked at each other and finally nodded.

"Then I'll leave this place to you. Be careful!"

Arthur gave some instructions, then led everyone upstairs from the elevator.

Upon seeing this, the Aurors and strikers below immediately began casting spells like crazy, hoping to take this opportunity to catch Arthur and the others in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, Mike took action.

There was a flash of golden light in his eyes, and a wall of light shining with hazy golden light suddenly appeared in the elevator entrance. The massive amount of spells shot by the opponent could not shake it at all, and at best could only create layer upon layer of ripples on it.

This sudden change stunned the Aurors and strikers downstairs.

They instinctively stopped attacking and could only watch Arthur and the others rush up to the basement.

Paklo, wearing a dark brown windbreaker, walked out of the crowd. The cold expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by a solemn and serious look. At this moment, he was looking at Mike through the golden wall of light.

"Mike Townley!"

Pikelow called out Mike's name.

The moment he saw him, Paklo confirmed one thing.

That means there must be a mole inside the Ministry of Magic, and the level of that mole is very high.

Otherwise, McTominay would not have attacked the Ministry of Magic at the exact moment when Chris left the Ministry, and McTominay and his men would not have been able to bypass the Magic Hall and appear directly on the second floor underground.

"Everyone retreat! We retreat back to the Department of Mysteries!"

Pecklo growled through gritted teeth.

He knew very well that without Chris's presence, their group would not be able to resist the attack of the legendary wizard Mike Tonley.

But he still said it a little late.

Just as the Aurors and strikers received the order to retreat, Mike's attack arrived.

The wall of light that blocked Mike, Paklo and the others suddenly darkened, and a large ball of cursed fire emitting an ominous aura instantly filled the entire elevator and whistled towards the people below.

Seeing this, the Aurors and strikers turned around and ran away in fear. This was their only way to move in the Ministry of Magic, which was under the Anti-Apparition Charm. But how could a person run faster than the flames, especially in such a crowded environment?

In an instant, the Aurors and Striker Corps, who were originally so aggressive, were engulfed by the raging flames.

Fortunately, Mike had no intention of torturing them this time. The extremely high temperature cursed flames turned them into ashes the moment they came into contact with them, and the victims couldn't even utter a scream.

Pikelo was lucky.

He knew very well how powerful the legendary wizards were, and he also knew that Mike would never show mercy to them.

So he turned around and started to flee as soon as he gave the order. It was because of this action that he was one step ahead of others that he escaped the punishment of the fire and jumped off the elevator.

But this was only temporary safety, because the flames did not stop after engulfing the Aurors and strikers gathered on the third underground floor, but continued to flow into the elevator entrance as if they had life, and spread downstairs.

The flames spread very quickly, but Paklo's falling speed was not slow either, especially after he cast Transfiguration on himself and turned his clothes into load-bearing iron blocks.

Finally, Pike Luo was in the courtroom on the tenth floor underground.

The roaring flames were blocked above the Department of Mysteries on the ninth underground floor. As the most mysterious department of the Ministry of Magic, the entire organization is protected by a special spell originating from ancient times.

Under the obstruction of this ancient spell, even Mike's cursed flame could not advance an inch.

"what!"

Paklo groaned and climbed up from the ground. He felt as if his ribs were broken, and now he felt a piercing pain in his chest every time he moved.

And this was because he used a levitation spell to slow down his speed before landing, otherwise he would have been smashed into a pool of meat.

Looking up with difficulty at the raging flames that were still attacking the protective layer of the ancient magic, Peklo's eyes were filled with fear.

He almost died just now.

In the face of death, even someone with a paralyzed face like him couldn't remain unmoved. This was his instinct as a living being.

Although he was still in shock, Paklo pressed the brooch-shaped communicator on his chest with trembling hands.

Pecklow had already passed the news of the attack on the Ministry of Magic to Chris once, but he now felt that he needed to send the message again to emphasize the crisis of the current situation.

Because if Chris didn't come back, the entire Ministry of Magic might be destroyed today.

……

At the same time, Mike was standing at the elevator entrance on the second floor underground, looking down with interest.

From his perspective, the entire elevator corridor was filled with surging flames.

Considering that the Ministry of Magic has a total of ten floors, Mike easily connected the current Ministry of Magic with Hell.

In fact, there is no difference between the two now.

Pecklow did escape the flames, but others in the Ministry of Magic were not so lucky.

The fire released by Mike was not just to kill him alone. Mike's real target was everyone else in the Ministry of Magic. Pecklo was just a by-product.

Every time they reach a floor, the blazing ominous fire will spread wantonly around under Mike's control.

The Ministry of Magic is currently under high martial law, and all external channels have been closed.

Normally this was a guarantee of safety for the Ministry of Magic employees, but at this moment it became a cage that restricted their escape.

At this moment, the Ministry of Magic has really become a flaming hell just as Mike had imagined.

With a slight smile, Mike jumped into the elevator entrance filled with flames.

The flames instantly engulfed him, but did not harm him at all. Instead, it was like warm little hands gently caressing his body.

Through the flames, Mike could clearly see the elevator shaft wall which was now burned red by the flames. You should know that the main body of the Ministry of Magic was built with super-anti-magic materials that have been mined out now. This also shows how high the temperature of Mike's flames is.

A series of vague howling sounds came from the flames, which were the last cries of the survivors before they died.

But when Mike heard the voice, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Right now, almost all the people in the Ministry of Magic are pure-bloods, and they are not within his range of appeal. Therefore, Mike does not feel sorry at all when he kills them now. Anyway, when he really comes to power, these people will be purged anyway, so it is better to burn them all now.

Falling straight down the elevator shaft, Mike finally landed on the ancient spell of the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor underground.

This is a layer of light grey film, which looks thin but is actually very tough. Even the cursed flame cannot break through it, except for those who possess the Ministry's internal brooch, such as Pecklow and the staff of the Department of Mysteries.

After feeling the magical composition of this layer of light film for a while, Mike curled his lips in disdain.

Although this layer of light film is already a very powerful protective spell, it is ultimately a dead object. As long as Mike is given time, it will not be difficult to break it.

But Mike didn't want to do that.

Through the information collected from various sources, Mike was well aware that there was a very powerful force hidden within the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

This can be seen from the fact that the Department of Mysteries is placed in the deepest underground of the Ministry of Magic.

The reason why Voldemort was seriously injured was because he was injured by the energy within him.

And since that energy could seriously injure Voldemort, a legendary wizard, it could also injure Mike himself.

But such a powerful force cannot be used without limits.

Judging from the fact that Voldemort had to destroy more than half of the Ministry of Magic before he was barely injured by this power, the power placed in the Department of Mysteries is most likely limited in its range.

Therefore, Mike would never enter the Department of Mysteries.

After staring at the dark scene in the light grey film again, Mike finally withdrew his gaze, and at the same time he also withdrew his gaze from the cursed flame that was spreading throughout the Ministry of Magic.

After the flame was taken back, the real scene of the Ministry of Magic's hall finally appeared in front of Mike.

This is a world of ashes. Everything that passes through the flames is turned into ashes and various glittering high-temperature crystals. The tiny gray-white residues are carried into the air by the hot air raised by the flames.

Now that the flames had disappeared, the ashes also lost the power to continue flying in the air, and suddenly they slowly fell from the sky like snowflakes.

Reaching out and grabbing a piece of ash that was still warm, he crushed it carefully, and the expression on Mike's face gradually became serious.
