The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 508 The battle is over
The battle in the small tomb chamber has ended, but the battle in the middle circular tomb area is still going on.

Unlike the good-for-nothing Fan Shang, Alan Rozier, the helmsman of the family, is quite capable.

Although Laura killed Pres and got Pres's wand to recognize her as the master, she still couldn't get used to using her own wand. For a while, Laura couldn't do anything to Alan.

One fought desperately to survive, while the other attacked desperately to avenge the one he loved. The two of them fought back and forth, and every spell they cast was aimed at killing the other.

On the other side, the battle between Vader and three Roziers of different appearances is gradually coming to an end.

Vida first knocked down the slightly fat Rosier with the Killing Curse, and then killed the tall and thin Rosier when he was not paying attention. Now only the shorter one was left.

Perhaps it was because he concentrated all the essence. The short Rozier was agile and smart, and he caused Vader a lot of trouble. His spells were released quickly and accurately, and at tricky angles. Thanks to Vader's rich experience, he didn't capsize in this ditch.

The aftermath of the collision of spells and the energy generated by the magic continued to impact the underground tomb, but there was no flying of rubble in the tomb, nor was there any sign of collapse.

I don't know whether our ancestors had anticipated this day, or whether they built a magic circle to protect the underground tomb in order to prevent their bodies from being dug out and exposed to the elements. This allowed the tomb to withstand round after round of attacks.

At this time, Ada also dragged Fan Shang's body back to the central circular tomb chamber.

The reason why Ada dragged the body back with great effort was that she wanted to show it to Alan Rozier, to kill him and destroy his heart. When they finally arrived at the place, Ada let go of his hands, and Vincent's body fell heavily.

This scene happened to be seen by Alan who was fighting with Laura. Seeing the body of his son made Alan lose consciousness for a moment, and his mind went blank. How could Laura let go of such a good opportunity? She cast a spell on Alan and knocked him away directly.

After landing, Alan struggled to get up, ignoring his bleeding arm, and stumbled to Fan Shang's body. Alan ran and crawled for a short distance, looking both embarrassed and pitiful.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Although this is not absolutely true, Alan and Fan Shang have fallen to their current situation because of their own fault. They can only blame themselves for picking the wrong opponents.

The battle in the catacombs had come to an end, and Alan was the only one left who had followed him down into the catacombs, and he no longer had the motivation to fight on.

Alan lay prone on Fan Shang's body, wailing. The sound of his cries echoed in the underground tomb, which was particularly creepy. Alan's blood fell to the ground and was also absorbed by the magic circle that protected the tomb, adding a bit of weirdness.

Ada did not look at the hateful and pitiful father and son. She cast her eyes on Rosier's family tree. In the light curtain, several rose petals that were originally in full bloom began to peel off and gradually withered.

Five people died at once, all of them middle-aged and young people. Even for Rosier, who had many family members, this was a big blow. Moreover, was the number of people who died in the tomb the final death toll?
To settle accounts is to root out the problem. Tonight is destined to be the night when Rozier withers and decays. And tomorrow morning, whether Rozier can bloom again is still unknown. Vida can't say for sure, and Ada can't say for sure even more.

"Alan," Vida came over, "We are of the same family name and clan. This shouldn't be the case."

From these words, one can hear the reluctance in Vida's heart. Who of those who died here today was not her junior, and who was not her relative. Wasn't the fight in the tomb just fratricide?

"You win, you win..." Alan seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. "The power is yours, and Rosier is yours too. I will watch from this tomb, watching you step by step towards the abyss, taking everyone with you!"

Alan's blood-red eyes were filled with resentment. He hated Vida, Louis, Ada, and everyone who stopped him.

Vida sighed and looked up at the dome of the tomb. Vida had always wanted to avenge Louis, but everything at the moment was not what she wanted. After all, her last name was Rosier.

"Every drop of blood today will not be shed in vain, you have to watch out." Vida said slowly, "Finally, do you have anything else to say?"

"I just want to ask one question," Alan said, "How am I worse than Louis?"

When Alan was young, Vida chose Louis between him and Louis, and this has always been an obsession of his.

Vida looked at Alan, his eyes showing no hatred or disgust, but a bit of pity. Vida said: "I chose Louis because he was younger at the time, and he didn't have a deep impression of his biological mother, so it would be easy to erase it."

When the family was selecting children to adopt, everyone thought that Vida would choose Alan. Alan and Vida were closer in blood. He was old enough to remember things at that time and was smart. Although he had a bit of a young master's temperament, he was born into a big family, so it was normal for him to have this kind of situation.

No one expected that Vida would choose Louis, a child who had just learned to speak. But the reason why Vida chose Louis was because he was young and because he laughed as soon as he saw Vida.

The baby's innocent smile healed the gloomy Vida at that time and brought a touch of color to her life.

"Haha...ha..." Alan actually laughed, "So Louis is also a poor man!"

Alan found it hard to accept such a reason, but he had no worries in his heart and no longer had any attachment to this world. He continued, "Go ahead, aunt. Send me off for the last time."

Vader did not let Ada or Laura do it for her, she raised her wand herself. Vader said coldly: "Avada Kedavra!"

The soul-stealing green light directly hit Alan Rozier's heart, and his lifeless body fell on Fan Shang's body. Alan's eyes were open, empty and without light, and the resentment in his eyes also dissipated with the passing of his life.

Vida stood there for a long time until Ada tugged at her sleeve and she came back to her senses.

"Let's go home." Vida said with a smile. She had calmed down. "I'm hungry. I hope that old Agnes isn't lazing around in the garden."

As he spoke, Vida opened the stone door of the underground tomb, and the group stepped onto the stone steps again, but this time there were fewer people on the steps.

After they all left the tomb, the huge stone door slowly closed, and the stone tablet containing the Rosier family tree was also closed, and it disappeared along with the petals scattered all over the ground.

The Rosiers in the cemetery above ground had no idea what kind of reversal had taken place in the underground tomb. They were anxiously waiting for Alan and his group to return, waiting for Alan to bring back a considerable fortune.

Do these people know what will happen if Ada follows Alan into the tomb?

They knew, of course they knew it was a dangerous situation, even a deadly one. But no one advised Alan, and no one chose to help Ada.

No, there was at least one more. For Vida's sake, Thierry wanted to make one last effort.

These Rozier were after money, and they didn't care how Alan got it or whether Ada was dead or alive. Even if Ada died in the tomb, it wasn't their doing, and the blood wouldn't splash on them.

Many people even plan where they will spend the money and what they will buy.

Hector's parents kept blaming him, saying that he shouldn't have agreed to keep Ida's wand, and asked him to throw the yew wand on the ground immediately. The way other people looked at their family made them even more frightened, as if they were going to divide up their family's property after dividing up Vida's inheritance.

But no matter whether his parents persuaded him gently or scolded him harshly, Hector did not throw away Ada's wand. Instead, he protected it more carefully.

Henry in the distance just glanced at Hector and then looked away. Henry didn't expect that the most sober person in the Rosier family was Hector. Even he only figured it out after Alan and others entered the corridor.

Time passed little by little, and Alan and others who had not returned made the Rosier people in the cemetery feel uneasy. Some timid people even felt panic and wanted to escape.

But the greed in their hearts made them unable to move, and they could only stand in the cemetery awkwardly, not knowing whether to stay or leave.

Finally, footsteps were heard in the corridor extending underground. Amid the desperate gaze of everyone, Vida, who had "come back from the dead", walked out first. There was no sign of sickness at all.

Next came Ada in black, and then Thierry and Lola who supported him.

Needless to say, they didn't know why the dead Vader walked out of the tomb safely, but they knew that some people would definitely not be able to get out.
