The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 627 Fighting
"How is your magic preparation?" When the Aurors went to the heavy criminal ward to drive out the Dementors, Ryan quickly set up the magic circle and stood up to ask Hermione beside him. At this time, Hermione was nervously preparing a new magic that she had learned from Silvermoon City.

"No problem." Hermione made an OK gesture. "To prevent any accidents. This time I have prepared a powerful spell, I believe this spell is just right for evil creatures like Dementors."

Ryan nodded in relief after hearing this. Unlike himself who had a top alchemist as a guide, Hermione had no one to give her precise guidance after she began to analyze the rules of death. Therefore, she could only use marginal magic such as shadow magic or blood magic to try to exert the power of death while trying to collect information and study on her own.

Unfortunately, even with so many worlds as backing, there are still not many suitable ways to use the power of death. The only relevant information should be some information about Maoshan corpse driving that Uncle Nine brought out after hearing Ryan's distress, but for Hermione, raising corpses and driving corpses is not something she is interested in, not to mention that this cannot fully exert the power of death.

The same is true in this world. Apart from the Killing Curse, the only thing related to death is the creation of the Inferi. However, these black magics with serious side effects are only of reference value at best. Therefore, for a long time before, Hermione's use of the power of death was as clumsy and inefficient as using an RPG rocket launcher to attack people.

Fortunately, I solved all of this during my last trip to Faerun. As one of the most powerful legendary magicians in the North, Alustriel has collected almost all the universal magic. During that period of studying day and night, Hermione obtained the key to open the door to the power of death. Today is the first time she has shown her power since returning here.

Ryan used his wand to light up several pieces of carved metal that had just been placed in the corner, to ensure that he could make up for it in time even if Hermione made a slight mistake in her spell.

A few minutes later, as the chilly feeling intensified, a group of Dementors wearing cloaks with rotten limbs exposed from their cloaks rushed into the hall from several passages. Behind them were one after another of the patron saints driving them away.

"Soul Nova." Seeing that most of the Dementors had already rushed into the hall, and some even rushed to within five or six meters of her, Hermione calmly recited the spell and waved her wand vigorously. Instantly, an invisible soul wave spread out from her as the core until it enveloped the entire hall.

In the face of this magic that specifically targets incorporeal creatures, the Dementors, which in the Harry Potter world were believed to be defended only by the Patronus, were as fragile as castles on the beach. In the surprised eyes of the prison staff who caught up with them, the Dementors stopped moving at the same time when Hermione waved her wand.

A slight crackling sound came from the Dementors, and then all the Dementors began to release a large amount of black smoke around them. In just a dozen seconds, the Dementors in Azkaban Castle completely disappeared.

"This is incredible." After confirming that the Dementors had indeed disappeared, the guards put away their physical guardian spirits. After carefully checking the hall, the youngest Susan couldn't help but sigh in surprise, and looked at Hermione with curiosity. "It was just that simple, and all those monsters disappeared?"

"It's not too difficult, as long as you master the power of death--" Hermione was very happy about the achievement of using the power of death in the first battle, and she seemed very happy when Susan asked her about it. So she picked some unimportant things to talk about, but this was enough for a wizard who didn't know another magic system.

"Our next step--" The oldest Auror, Albert, had just opened his mouth to say something when he heard a huge roar coming from outside the castle, as if someone was hitting the wall with a huge battering ram.

"Damn, the attackers came too fast." Ryan immediately felt that Azkaban's magical defenses were hit.

"Now everyone, follow the previous plan and form teams to guard your respective areas. I believe that the mysterious man will not come here in person, so we can defend this place with the help of the magic circle on the castle." Ryan saw that the guards all looked unhappy, so he encouraged loudly and released a newly learned magic to consolidate his confidence.

This second-level magic was very effective, and after they calmed down, they also knew that Voldemort couldn't come here in person after he had just captured the Ministry of Magic. In a few seconds, the guards regained their composure, and then began to rush to their positions in the castle to prepare for defense. After everyone left, Ryan walked upstairs, and Hermione followed him and handed him a piece of parchment. She asked very quickly, "The prisoners downstairs are not a big problem. They were either arrested by the Ministry of Magic a while ago or some minor criminals who only need to stay in here for a few months for minor crimes. I believe they will stay in their own houses in a while, but what about the serious criminals upstairs?"

"Six real Death Eaters, plus three dark wizards who have committed a lot of crimes, only nine people in total?" Ryan did not stop, just looked down at the list and said, "Then you can go directly to the heavy criminal ward to guard after you go upstairs. I think I can stop those attackers by myself."

"I'm going to the heavy criminal ward?" Hermione thought about it and immediately thought of something. She bit her lip lightly. "Do we need to take emergency precautions today?"

"It shouldn't be that serious. I don't think it would be that easy for the Death Eaters to break in given the defenses here." Ryan comforted her. After experiencing so many worlds, Hermione still had some psychological barriers to killing unarmed people, even if these people really deserved it. "Just in case--"

"So just in case, as long as you give me a signal, I will execute all the serious criminals as quickly as possible." Hermione said, looking at Ryan who was slightly surprised. "After going through so much, I am no longer as naive as before. I know that there are some things that I don't like, but I still have to do them."

Ryan took a deep breath, then turned around and hugged Hermione. He knew how difficult it was for Hermione to make this transition.

A few seconds later, Hermione, with a flushed face, broke free from Ryan's arms and walked into the guard room next to the stairs leading to the entrance of the heavy prisoner area. Ryan took out his wand and continued to walk up the stairs.

The prison area for serious criminals was on the top floor of the castle. After saying goodbye to Hermione, Ryan continued up the stairs for a short distance and came to a heavy iron door. After knocking on several places of the iron door with magic using the method the guards had told him, Ryan opened the iron door and stood on the top floor of the castle.

Now a milky white translucent protective shield rose around Azkaban Castle, and from time to time one or two sparks of explosion bloomed on the shield. Through the shield, Ryan saw a dozen Death Eaters riding on brooms trying to attack with their wands.

Their skills were very average. If that was their level, Ryan thought they would not be able to break in. However, they did not intend to use this method to break into the castle. After seeing Ryan coming out, one of the Death Eaters shouted, "Stop your resistance immediately. According to the Ministry of Magic's request, you should immediately hand over Azkaban to us."

After saying this, the Death Eater waved the parchment in his hand. The sharp-eyed Ryan saw that it was indeed stamped with the seal of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

"Ministry of Magic? Sorry, I don't think the current Ministry of Magic is a legal organization." Although Ryan was a little surprised at the speed at which Voldemort and the Death Eaters took control of the Ministry of Magic, he flatly rejected the Death Eaters' request.

"Don't even think about fighting the Dark Lord. If you don't surrender now, no one can save you." The leading Death Eater shouted angrily after hearing Ryan's reply. "If you surrender now, I can guarantee your safety. But if you continue to resist, you and all the resistance will die miserably after we go in."

After saying that, he took out a small silver ball and smashed it hard at the barrier.
