The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 581 The Power of Thunder
The smoke and dust had just settled when it rose again with a burst of hurried footsteps. Aurors and Death Eaters ran towards Ada and Voldemort respectively.

The scene in front of them was clear at a glance. Both demon kings must have been injured and were temporarily weak. The two groups of people each ran towards their own demon kings to protect their top combat power.

No one wants to launch a sneak attack or fish in troubled waters.

They had no idea about the specific conditions of the two demon kings. Instead of taking risks to attack, it would be better to protect their own demon king first and observe for a while.

The Aurors and Death Eaters each set up defenses around Ada (Voldemort), raised their wands and confronted each other, not daring to make any rash moves.

The difference is that the Aurors stood very close to Ada, while the Death Eaters stood far away from Voldemort, and they did not dare to get too close.

Ada inhaled the rising smoke and dust, causing her to cough. The violent coughing made her sway even more. If Mr. Weasley had not supported her in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

Ada coughed as she recalled her final battle with Voldemort.

The linked spells failed to trigger the flashback spell, and the powerful collision of magic caused a violent explosion, the aftermath of the explosion blew away Ada and Voldemort at the same time.

The main building, which was already badly damaged and shaky, could no longer withstand the additional force and collapsed.

Although the impact of the explosion made Ada dizzy and her mind a mess, fortunately, the magic power worked on its own and the collapsed house did not kill her directly, but only buried her.

Ada was alone and weak, and it took her a long time to push away the bricks that were pressing on her. She was so dizzy that she even forgot her identity as a witch.

As she coughed, Ada felt something sweet in her throat. Without covering it up, she coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Mr. Weasley was horrified and unconsciously increased the strength of his arms as he supported Ada. The Auror's heart tightened and his palms began to sweat.

The Death Eater at the far end smiled broadly, his eyebrows raised.

Although Ada was not killed as expected, it was obvious that her injuries were more serious. As long as the Dark Lord recovered and led them in one last charge, the Ministry of Magic would no longer be a threat.

Voldemort lowered his hand that was supporting his head. He said slowly, "Oh, I am the winner after all. I am afraid you can't go back to London."

Hearing this, the Death Eaters surrounding Voldemort became even more excited. Wasn't this the reason they followed Voldemort?
Kill indiscriminately and persecute those who have defiled magic to satisfy your own tyrannical desires!
Ada patted Mr. Weasley's arm, signaling Mr. Weasley to be at ease.

She smiled and said, "If there is blood, just spit it out. You are already quite old, don't try to hold it in. It's not good for your health."

Facing the impact of the explosion and the crush of the collapsed buildings, it was normal to get injured. After coughing up the blood, Ada felt a lot more relaxed.

I was injured internally, so I thought that Voldemort, who had suffered the same injury, should also be injured. Could it be that the old father's ten-fold tonic soup also has the effect of strengthening the body?

Voldemort continued without comment: "Showing off? Whether I am showing off or not, you will know for sure if you try it yourself." As he spoke, Voldemort raised his forearm and the yew wand raised with it.

The Dark Lord's attitude remained tough, which was in stark contrast to Ada, who was so weak that she was vomiting blood. It seemed that the Ministry of Magic was doomed tonight.

Ada didn't know how seriously Voldemort was injured, she was just trying to put herself in his shoes.

However, in Ada's opinion, the fact that the other party did not take advantage of the situation and kill him directly already explained a lot of problems.

Ada, who knows the pain himself, vomited a mouthful of blood even though she had a cheat. How could Voldemort be completely fine?
Voldemort was injured, but he was too proud to show his weakness, like a woman. Moreover, Voldemort couldn't let anyone know that he was injured. If he hadn't been physically unable to continue fighting, how could he have given Ada a chance to breathe?

Ada, who was making a sissy sound, was leaning on Weasley to recover her strength.

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger", Long Xin's evaluation is not just talk. At this moment, Esmeralda Tank Mammy Drizzt joins!
If the situation drags on until Ada accumulates enough strength, she might be able to take advantage of the situation to attack and capture all the Death Eaters back to the Ministry, and let these desperadoes atone for their crimes.

The only thing that is uncertain is Voldemort's physical condition. Once Voldemort recovers in time, it will be another fierce battle.

Ada tried to move her fingers, then pinched the yew wand and raised it with some difficulty. Her movements seemed slow, and her slow movements naturally caught the eyes of others.

The Aurors' tension was slightly relieved, the Death Eaters stopped laughing wildly, and Ada seemed to still have the strength to fight.

Voldemort was also observing Ada, trying to figure out her condition so as to decide whether to advance or retreat. Voldemort was already at the end of his strength, and he urgently needed to rest and recuperate to adjust his physical condition to prevent others from taking advantage of his weakness.

The slender scarlet pupils flickered unsteadily. The Dark Lord subjectively wanted to capture Ada and all the people in the Ministry of Magic in one fell swoop, but objectively his current physical strength did not allow him to have such delusions.

Voldemort was still hesitating. Such an opportunity was rare.

Without Ada's strong support, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were no match for the Death Eaters. If Ada's injuries were minor, even if she couldn't exert her full strength, with her restraint, the Death Eaters would not be able to wipe out all the Aurors.

Hesitant, Voldemort thought again of the night in Little Hangleton Village. The girl was clearly hit by the Killing Curse, but she did not die under the vicious Unforgivable Curse.

Also, she could still perform short-distance Apparition under the restrictions of the Anti-Apparition Charm, which was what Voldemort was most worried about. If Ada recovered and stabbed him again, Voldemort would not have the confidence to dodge it.

This girl has too many secrets, Voldemort thought.

Perhaps, compared to Albus Dumbledore, this girl with a similar background to his own is the real threat and the stumbling block on his way to success.

Just when Voldemort was having trouble making a decision, Ada remembered a long-lost martial arts skill, and she decided to give it a try.

Ida ignored her own injuries and raised her left hand to point at Voldemort. Then, she hooked her finger in disdain and shouted loudly, "Come here!"

The loud shout seemed to drain all the strength in her body at once, and Ada suddenly felt her legs go weak.

Mr. Weasley, who was supporting Ada, clearly felt her weakness. Although he could not figure out Ada's intention, he still tried his best to support her body and prevent her from staggering again due to weakness.

The Aurors surrounding Ada felt calm, but the Death Eaters were a little panicked, as the situation did not seem to be what they expected!
Voldemort's heart also trembled. He forced himself to make a decision quickly so as not to give the other party time to accumulate physical strength and recover magic power.

The night sky was as dark as ink, the stars and the moon had all disappeared, and the burning fire had become weak. Darkness once again enveloped Malfoy Manor, like a thick fog that could not be dispelled, a dark cloud that could not be blown away.

At this moment, Voldemort, who had recovered some of his strength, suddenly leaped up and delivered a fatal blow like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. Following his movements, the Death Eaters also chanted spells, and the light brought by magic illuminated the ruins.

The Aurors, who had been on edge, immediately fought back and engaged the Death Eaters.

Everyone knows that this is the last fight of the night, and victory or defeat depends on it!
The violent Voldemort also approached the Auror, but his only target was Ada. As long as Ada died, he could win tonight and take down the Ministry of Magic that had been resisting him.

But what was waiting for Voldemort was not a weak, vulnerable little girl, but a yew wand held high and a pair of bright, emerald green eyes.

The thunderclouds that had been brewing all night began to descend, and the raised magic wand led the thunder to strike down on the ruins. The light was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, and the power made people lose the courage to resist.

When the thunder faded, only Ada and a group of Aurors were left in the manor. Voldemort and the Death Eaters were long gone.

Heavy rain fell, soaking everyone's clothes. This night of blood and fire finally came to an end.
