The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 613 The final blow

The terrain of this small piece of land changed due to the duel between the two, and was shattered and devastated by Mo Mo Ran's ravages.

After being knocked down by the air current, Dumbledore sat on the ground to recover his strength, with the phoenix Fawkes hovering around him. The headmaster was exhausted, and the rapid consumption of energy and magic made him look pale, like an Inferi.

Ada's face was also not good. Mo Mo Ran was one with her, and causing such damage was also a burden to her. However, she was young and a wall-hanger, so she recovered quickly.

Although this outbreak of Obscurus is dangerous, it actually brings more benefits than disadvantages to Ada.

For years, Ida had believed that the Obscurus had dissipated and that she had merely inherited a portion of it, until that night at Little Hangleton.

Being struck by the killing curse yet remaining unharmed was a little unbelievable even for Guabi. However, if Mo Mo Ran protected the host again, this matter would not seem so difficult to understand.

After having a conversation with her younger self in her inner world, Ada recognized the meaning of her existence, identified with this world, and no longer felt separated, so she reached her first peak.

It is precisely because of Ada's change in state of mind that the Momoran hidden deep in her body established a connection with her.

Before today, Ada's relationship with Obscurus was one-way. She could rely on her inner strength and her own power to suppress Obscurus and use this power at will.

Just like when casting a flying spell, Aida would call upon this power to make herself fly faster and better.

If you want to get something, you must give it first. The silent ones are not good men and women. Most of them can hardly live past the age of ten. People like Ada are special cases.

Perhaps, Mo Moran has been waiting for this day, either to live with the host or to die with the host.

Ada raised her left hand, and under her gaze, a layer of oily substance quickly covered her left hand. However, the color was not the rich black before, but somewhere between gray and white. Even the feeling it gave people was different, becoming much gentler.

When her body was controlled by the Obscurus, Ada still retained a trace of consciousness and tried to tame this unstable power. Fortunately, Dumbledore was there, and the headmaster's words gave Ada strength, making things much simpler.

After confirming her achievements, Ada looked at Dumbledore in the distance. She wanted to say something, but found it difficult to speak.

According to the result, Ada and Dumbledore were tied, but deep down she felt like she had lost.

When imprisoned in the water dungeon, Ada had the ability to break free, but she chose the Obscurus, so she believed that she had lost to Dumbledore and should return to Hogwarts as agreed in the bet.

However, Ada couldn't bring herself to go back to school in such a shameful way, as she was a person who cared a lot about her reputation.

Dumbledore stood up in the distance. He looked well recovered and his face was no longer as pale as paper. The Phoenix's tears are not the only useful thing. The Phoenix's song is also full of magic.

Dumbledore said, "Now is not the time to rest. Our duel is not over yet! You have the help of the Obscurus, and I also have Fawkes to help me!"

As he spoke, Dumbledore swung his wand, a spell was cast, and Fawkes's cry became louder.

Facing the powerful attack, Ada subconsciously raised her wand to block it. The spell slipped past Ada's side and fell into the water, splashing water and pouring down on her head, making her feel cold all over.

Dumbledore's words did not make Ada give up immediately and stop the duel between the two.

Ada was confused. She couldn't understand why the principal was so considerate at this moment. Since the duel had already had an outcome, why should she continue?

Do you want to lose to me and hand over the Elder Wand to me?

But it doesn't look like that. The old man just tried his best and didn't show any signs of letting up! He was beating me like Voldemort!
Are you afraid that you will default on the gambling debt, so you want to beat yourself up until you admit your mistake?
It doesn't look like that. This old man is too confident. He doesn't take himself seriously at all! This is too much!
After a confused brain supplement, although it was still unclear what Dumbledore was up to, Ada's hands were not slow at all, and she threw a bunch of spells with her forehand, backhand, left and right hands. The spells of the two stirred up lakes of water, which fell like raindrops.

Fawkes sometimes hovered around Dumbledore, and sometimes pounced on Ada, using his sharp claws and beak.

Every failure is a learning experience. With the painful lesson of being trapped in the water dungeon, Ada also adjusted her pace accordingly. She was no longer impatient for success, but took steady steps and did not give Dumbledore any chance to defend and counterattack.

Dumbledore is 115 years old, very experienced, and has seen all sorts of things.

Often, what seemed like no opportunity to Ada was actually a perfect turning point for Dumbledore, allowing him to reverse the situation and win in an instant.

At this stage, the strength of the two is comparable. The Elder Wand gives Dumbledore an advantage. If Ada wants to defeat the headmaster and overcome the mountain in her heart, she must play to her own strengths.

What are Ada's advantages?
Of course it was because of his youth. Dumbledore was more than ninety years older than Ada, old enough to be a grandfather. Ada definitely had the advantage in terms of physical strength. If the battle dragged on, Dumbledore would collapse.

Seeing that Ada stopped attacking, Dumbledore instantly guessed her thoughts and understood her intentions.

But what can he do if he guessed it, Dumbledore didn't have any good way to deal with it. He could only cooperate with Fawkes's harassment, intensify his offensive, and capture Ada as soon as possible.

After dodging Dumbledore's stunning spell, Ada was about to fight back when she saw Fawkes swooping down at her from high in the sky. The phoenix turned into a ball of fire and streaked across the sky like a meteor.

There is an animal in this world that never changes, and regenerates immortal copies over the long years. The Assyrians call it the Phoenix. Fire is their destination and also their origin. The Phoenix is ​​born to be good at controlling fire!

Aida did not dare to be careless. She waved her left hand, and an oily substance between gray and white suddenly appeared and gushed out silently, covering Aida's head like a towering tree, welcoming the phoenix fire.

With a loud bang, flames filled the sky!

The light of the flame made Dumbledore's face red. He pointed the Elder Wand at Ada again, and a dazzling white light shot out.

Aida, who was protected by Obscurus, attacked at the same time. She chanted a spell loudly and shouted "Expelliarmus!"

The two spells crossed in mid-air, passed each other, and flew towards their respective targets. The disarming spell hit Dumbledore, and the dazzling white light hit Ada's chest.

Dumbledore staggered and took several steps back before he could steady himself. His hands were empty, and the Elder Wand had already slipped out of his hands, drawing an arc in the air and just caught by Fawkes.

The white light was so powerful that it not only hit Ada in the chest, but also knocked her away. With a "bang", she fell into the lake not far away, looking very embarrassed.

However, Ada was fine. Her buff offset the damage, and after being forced to drink two sips of water, she crawled back to the shore.

"As a wizard, I lost because my wand slipped out of my hand," said Dumbledore (Ada had just climbed ashore), "as a teacher, I am glad to see that you have surpassed me."

The phoenix Fox folded its wings and landed in front of Ada, its beautiful big eyes blinking as if it was observing the girl with water plants on her head.

Then, Fawkes put down the elder wand in his mouth and flew away. With the cry of the phoenix and the light of fire, Dumbledore disappeared, and only his words were still floating in the air.

"You can always trust Severus Snape, no matter what he does next."
