Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 624 The sun falls
"Cough, cough, cough!"

After finally suppressing his smile, Harry coughed twice and changed the subject:
"If Professor Snape is not dead, and has recovered, then why hasn't he returned to Hogwarts?"

Mike had a smile in his eyes. The Harry who was grinning just now was the friend he was familiar with.

Upon hearing this, he spread his hands and said helplessly:

"You know, Professor Snape is very hostile to us because of Victor's unauthorized actions. Now we are at a critical moment, and he has powerful magic, so..."

"So you put him under house arrest?"

Harry interrupted Mike with a frown.

"Of course it happens." Mike continued, "But don't worry, this house arrest is not what you think. In fact, Professor Snape's living conditions are very good. Except that he cannot use magic, he is treated like a noble lord. In a sense, this can also be regarded as recuperation. And his house arrest will end when the war is over."

Harry nodded and said, "Then...can I go see him?"

"Of course. After all, your relationship is extraordinary. I think he must miss you very much."

"You know my relationship with Professor Snape?"

"I already knew it."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Harry said this angrily. He thought that if he had known all this earlier, many things would not have happened.

But Mike didn't intend to answer. He just looked at Harry quietly, his eyes calm and pure.

Looking into those eyes, Harry finally calmed down.

At this moment, the entire palace began to shake violently again, accompanied by a rapid rise in the surrounding temperature.

At first Harry thought it was the temperature brought by the cursed flames around him, but he soon understood the true source of the temperature.

Because the ceiling above the palace, which was covered with various exquisite murals, suddenly melted, and dark red magma fell like raindrops. As the ceiling disappeared, the sunlight outside also shone in.

The sunlight on the top of the holy mountain was already very strong, but this time the sunlight from the sky was a hundred times brighter than before, and the strong sunlight naturally brought with it extremely high temperatures.

As soon as the sunlight hit him, Harry screamed.

A burst of white smoke instantly rose from his exposed arm, and a large dark red burnt mark spread rapidly.

Mike had the same experience, but his reaction was faster. He reacted the moment the sunlight touched him. With a thought, the cursed flames around him and Harry's head quickly condensed, and then quickly lost their fire attributes and turned into a pure black cursed force to block the horrible light for the two of them.

The coverage area of ​​the curse power was not large, and it could only barely cover Harry and Mike, allowing them to escape.

But other things were not so lucky.

The tables, chairs, walls, and even the liquid in the Sky Breaking Pool began to evaporate slowly!
Everything around the two of them was melting away at a terrifying speed, just like ice cream left in the sun on a summer day.

Harry covered his injured arm and watched all this in horror.

At this time, Death Cloak sighed and murmured in Harry's ear:

"The Sun Rod, he finally used that thing. The Holy Mountain... is over."

"boom!"

As soon as the Death Cloak finished speaking, the surrounding walls collapsed one after another, and looking out through the gaps, Harry and Mike could clearly see that the entire holy mountain had turned into a purgatory.

The magma that had gradually solidified and cooled down because Mike took back the cursed flame began to boil again, and was eroding the remaining rock walls at a faster rate. Under the illumination of the terrifying light, the entire holy mountain was melting!

Being in such a purgatory, those terrifying green plants were naturally affected.

Faced with the terrifying sunlight, they are withering quickly and turning into ashes.

But every time the old plants disappeared, more plants would emerge from the magma and then be burned...

This went on and on, and a strange balance was achieved between the terrifying sunlight and the green plants.

Mike instinctively squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, trying to see what was emitting this horrible light.

With the help of the power of the curse, the bright light did not blind him, so when he looked up, he saw a huge sun that covered most of the sky, and a black spot in the center of the sun.

Mike shook the elderberry wand in his hand and cast a telescope spell on himself, and then he could see the true appearance of the black spot!
It was none other than the golden-armored warrior from before—Motore!

At this moment, Motore's white hair was fluttering in the wind, and his whole body was emitting a sacred light, which could not be obscured even by the bright sun behind him.

And what he held in his hand was the golden scepter that he had previously carried behind his back.

However, the color of the scepter was no longer the golden color as before, but almost transparent. The huge diamond-shaped gem on the tip of the scepter was the source of the divine light on Motore's body.

Mike gasped.

It was hard for him to imagine that Motore, whom he had just treated as a gopher, could possess such power. If all this was true, why didn't Motore use this power to kill him instantly from the beginning?
Are they afraid of destroying the holy mountain?
Mike couldn't understand, but he didn't want to understand.

The only thing he was clear about now was that they needed to leave the Holy Mountain immediately. The terrifying sunlight was extremely powerful, and even his own cursed flame could not stop it for too long. If they continued to delay, he and Harry would end up like those plants.

But... Pokongchi's analysis of the spatial coordinate objects has not yet been completed!

Looking at the pool that was still bubbling with bubbles, Mike frowned deeply.

At this moment, another series of violent vibrations came from under the feet of the two people.

Mike instinctively looked down, and his pupils shrank sharply in an instant.

Because the holy mountain under the feet of the two people actually cracked!
I saw a huge crack spreading rapidly on the top of the holy mountain, and in a short while it had split the entire holy mountain into two halves.

Immediately afterwards, countless huge vines grew out from the cracks.

Even though the appearance of the cracks caused the magma on the surface to continuously flow back into the cracks, the vines were not afraid at all and continued to grow outward while expanding the cracks.

Finally, when the crack expanded to an exaggerated angle, a huge throne made entirely of trees and vines rose from the ground.

And on the throne sat a handsome man wearing full body plant armor, with a pair of pointed ears and long emerald green hair.

The man sat casually, but he exuded an incomparable majesty, which made people unable to resist the desire to worship him.

Most importantly, with his appearance, the original balance between plants and direct sunlight on the holy mountain was broken.

The growth rate of those plants increased sharply again. Like soldiers who wanted to show themselves in front of their king, they expanded madly despite the enemy's offensive!
Their king, the green-haired man, sat on the throne indifferently, his eyes calm and motionless, as if nothing in the world could change his mood. He just sat there quietly, watching the green on the ground gradually swallow up the magma that was flowing wildly.

Motore, who was in the sky, saw this scene more clearly. Looking at the holy mountain that was gradually dyed green, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together and murmured:

"For Uranus..."

His figure gradually became illusory and finally merged into the huge sun behind him.

At the same time, the Sun Scepter in his hand also moved. It shone with light and fell from the sky like a meteor, and stabbed fiercely in front of the throne of the green-haired man.

Its appearance attracted the attention of the green-haired man. He took a closer look at the exquisitely shaped scepter, as if he was considering whether to pick it up.

But soon, the green-haired man suddenly raised his head as if he realized something.

The next moment, an expression finally appeared on the green-haired man's face for the first time.

It was a complex emotion mixed with shock, fear, nostalgia and hatred, and the main reason for his expression was - the sun had fallen!

That’s right! The sun above everyone’s head was falling at an alarming speed.

As it approached rapidly, the temperature on the ground was further increased. The plants that had originally had the upper hand suffered a devastating disaster again. They retreated rapidly under the burning of the sun's fire, and this time, they didn't even have the chance to grow again.

The palace where Mike and Harry were was also melting rapidly. Facing such a terrifying sun fire, even Mike's cursed flame could not resist.

Fortunately, the Sky-Breaking Pool finally calmed down, and the Masonic gold coins inside had been completely melted.

Mike was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly pulled Harry in.

As ripples spread out from the Sky-Breaking Pond, Mike and Harry disappeared.

At the same time, the curse power that had been blocking the sunlight for the Sky Breaking Pool also disappeared. Without the protection of the curse power, the liquid in the Sky Breaking Pool was evaporated by the terrifying sun fire in just an instant.

The green-haired man on the throne in the distance has stood up. He stares at the sun getting closer and closer in the sky, and his expression gradually returns to calm.

At this time, the throne behind him also began to deform. It and the surrounding plants slowly wrapped around the green-haired man's body, protecting him firmly inside.

The next moment, the scorching sun finally collided with the holy mountain.

For a moment, the whole world was swallowed up by the blazing white light, and all things were annihilated!
……

In the Masonic secret realm, inside the teleportation hall.

As ripples of space spread out in the air, Mike and Harry finally appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground.

At this time, Harry had not yet recovered from the shock of the sun's fall, and he still looked a little dazed.

Mike's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

His injuries were so severe that even with the suppression of the cursed flame, he was almost reaching his limit after fighting for so long.

'Harry! Now, go get the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand!'

The sound of the Death Cloak brought Harry back to his senses a little. He turned his head to look at Mike who was lying on the ground, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Harry went through so much suffering just to make Michael seriously injured so that he would have a chance to seize the Deathly Hallows.

Now his harvest season has finally arrived!
But does he really want to do this?
Can the bright future that Death Cloak talks about really come true?

Harry hesitated.

What the Death Cloak did inside the Holy Mountain has made Harry doubt everything the Death Cloak said, and now Professor Snape is not dead, wouldn't it be nice for him to just enjoy his life?

The screams of the Deathcloak were still ringing in Harry's ears, but Harry stood there, motionless.

I don't know how long it took, but a surging crowd of people poured in from the various entrances of the teleportation hall.

Soraka, dressed in a white robe, was the first to be attacked. Without even looking at Harry who was standing nearby, she rushed towards Mike with the healers behind her.

Looking at Mike who was carried away by Soraka and others, Harry sighed, his face full of melancholy and relief.

He knew he no longer had to make that choice because the best opportunity had passed.

For a moment, Harry felt empty inside, and he suddenly wanted to talk to someone.

The first thing he thought of was the Death Cloak, but unfortunately, the Death Cloak had shut up when the crowd appeared. No matter how Harry pulled the cloak, it did not respond to him.

'Maybe he's disappointed in me too?'

Thinking of this, Harry smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The next moment, Harry was hugged hard.

Harry was startled by this sudden change and instinctively wanted to wave his wand.

But when he saw clearly who was hugging him, his hands suddenly stopped moving, because the people hugging him were none other than Ron and Hermione, who were already in tears.

"It's okay, Harry! Everything's going to be alright!"

Hermione said this with a sob, and hearing this, Harry's eyes finally became moist.

……

At the same time, in the secret realm of the Holy Mountain.

An endless sea of ​​lava was flowing freely on the earth. While spreading high temperature, the lava was also constantly bubbling and spraying the toxic gases in the body into the air.

Although the sun has disappeared here, the light still exists.

A dim light shone out from the sea of ​​magma, illuminating the gray sky.

There is no hope in this world anymore. All that is left here are the ashes of the old world.

Perhaps when these embers are completely extinguished, the world will return to the embrace of darkness.

However, at this moment, a green sprout slowly emerged from the sea of ​​magma...
