Hogwarts: Harry Returns from Azeroth

Chapter 55. Harry slew Voldemort... but not completely
Unlike the earth elemental giant which has human-like legs, the lower body of the giant transformed by the water element is a rapidly rotating mass of water, spinning upwards like a whirlpool, as if constantly drawing water from the water surface beneath its feet, splashing up waves.

The upper body has a human-like torso and head, plus a pair of strong arms and hands. At the beginning, Harry could be seen behind it through the body of the water element, but as it quickly absorbed the water, it was as if the water was compressed inside its body and then condensed, it no longer became transparent, but showed a dark blue-green color like the water of the Black Lake.

For reference, the one Harry summoned had no helmet↓
There was a constant stream of rotating water splashing around from the water element's body. Its body was very tall, and its head even reached the top of the corridor, almost occupying the entire section of the corridor, making it impossible for Voldemort to see Harry behind it.

The green light transformed by the killing curse seemed to disappear into the sea after entering the body of the water element. It was unknown whether it was digested or dispersed.

“What kind of magic is this?” Voldemort looked at the huge monster in front of him in amazement. He had never seen such magic before - even the principle, the process and the source were completely different from the magic in his mind.

But this is undoubtedly a magical creation, and Muggles cannot create such a thing.

In Voldemort's view, the creature summoned by Harry was undoubtedly created from the water in the Black Lake, because he clearly saw that there were even fish swimming in the body of the creature - no, can it swim?

But how is this possible? !
He is just a first-grade wizard. No matter how gifted and talented he is, his physical development has already limited the magical power he possesses.

So how could he possibly grab all the water from the Black Lake and even create such a monster? !
And now, the monster moved.

It simply raised its right arm and waved it towards Voldemort, and a ball of water arrow broke away from his fist and shot towards Voldemort rapidly.

Voldemort, who was well prepared, did not take the unknown magic lightly. He dodged the water arrow and was shocked to see it hit the wall behind him, leaving a fist-sized dent in the wall of Hogwarts that had been reinforced with magic.

The destructive power of this magic is even comparable to some low-end black magic! But Voldemort is very sure that this is not black magic, it is simply that the water jetted by the water monster opposite is very fast and powerful.

Before Voldemort could continue to speculate on the effects of this unknown magic, the next wave of attacks from the water element had already arrived - freezing magic!

A clear ice ring quickly spread out from the water element at its center, and wherever it went, the water was frozen into ice. This was a magic with the effect of friend-or-foe identification, which would only impact enemies within a certain range and freeze them in place.

but failed.

A raging flame gushed out from Voldemort's wand. The flame was red in color, and after leaving his wand it even changed into the shapes of several birds, mixed with flames, and impacted by the spreading ice ring.

In an instant, the originally cold water flow was evaporated into hot water vapor. The fire summoned by Voldemort had an astonishing temperature and astonishing evil. It devoured everything around it almost the moment it appeared, including the oil paintings on the wall, the statues placed on the wall, and even the wall paint.

The water element summoned by Harry was not to be outdone. It raised its hands and guided more water pipes to burst. A large amount of water from the Black Lake rushed out from the broken water pipes and the bathroom - water jets! !

A stream of water even thicker than the one three or four people hugging together gushed out from the water element's hand. If Voldemort was hit by this, the body he possessed would at least be turned into a pool of rotten flesh, let alone casting magic.

The gushing icy water quickly heated up when it came into contact with the flame, and then turned into steam. Amid the steam, the temperature in the corridor also rose rapidly, as if it was a sauna. The white steam and smoke obscured the view.

He couldn't see what was on the other side, but Harry did hear a scream - it was Hermione's voice!

He suddenly became anxious, because in addition to Hermione's screams, Harry also heard the roar of the trolls. He did not forget that there were two trolls on Hermione's side.

Harry had already noticed that something was wrong with the flame, because it seemed to be endless. As long as there was something for it to burn, it would never go out - even if the thing it burned was water, which was naturally incompatible with fire.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Voldemort laughed wildly. “See it! Harry!! This is the power of dark magic!! The monster you summoned with so much effort is useless in front of the Fiendfyre! If you give it a little more time, it can even devour the entire Hogwarts! Burn Hogwarts to ashes!!”

call--! !

The sound of the whistling wind, even the beast transformed by Fiendfyre couldn't catch the figure when it pounced, it was Harry!

There was a layer of ice armor surrounding his body, which was the ice shield added for him by the water element when it was summoned. Harry was very fast, and we usually call this speed a charge. Voldemort was startled, and he instinctively stopped releasing Fiendfyre and then added a shield for himself, but Harry's target was not him originally.

Harry whizzed past Voldemort, passed through the steam-filled corridor where his vision was obstructed, and slid across the icy ground with a whoosh. It was so smooth.

It was at this moment that the entire body of the water element began to become scattered, as if it had merged into the surrounding lake water, turning into a surging wave, pressing towards Voldemort with a momentum that almost submerged the entire corridor.

The reason why Harry couldn't even take care of Voldemort was naturally Hermione. Especially after he realized the power of Fiendfyre, Hermione who stayed behind Voldemort became more and more dangerous - Harry didn't think that Voldemort would be kind enough to let Fiendfyre stay away from Hermione.

When Harry walked over and saw Hermione, the little girl was kneeling on the ground with fear on her face. She was probably so scared that she was limp. She tried hard to stand up and run away, but her legs were too weak to stand up. She could only try to move backwards, trying to get away from the two horrible monsters in front of her.

One of the giant monsters had already noticed Hermione's presence. He scratched his head, which was too small compared to his body, and raised the stick in his hand with a silly smile, smashing it down towards Hermione! !
Elemental shock!!!

The corridor was already full of water elements, and the ubiquitous storm elements and fire elements quickly condensed into a ball around Harry, even taking a piece of the wall next to the bathroom door. It was still the same sentence - concrete elements are also earth elements! !

At this time, when human lives were at stake, there was no point in caring about protecting the castle. The four elemental forces spun and condensed and directly hit the giant monster's head! !

Unlike spells that have no real weight, the elemental impact has a very strong impact because of the earth element, which caused the troll's entire body to tilt - but even so, the wooden stick it swung down only deviated from Hermione's head and fell towards her body.

"what--!!"

Hermione instinctively covered her head and screamed.

But at the last moment, Harry suddenly leaped forward, and his entire body turned into a translucent ghost wolf out of thin air. He opened his huge mouth, grabbed Hermione's waist and pounced with her!
For Hermione, the whole world turned upside down and spun wildly in an instant. The huge force coming from her waist made it impossible for her to resist. She was swung around like a rag and had no ability to resist at all.

After briefly losing control and falling back to the ground, Hermione opened her eyes and saw a translucent blue giant wolf turning around and pouncing on another troll. The two behemoths fought a shocking battle in the corridor, and the troll was directly knocked to the ground by the giant wolf.

Hermione also saw another troll - not to mention the head, even the flesh near the neck had disappeared without a trace, blood was oozing out rapidly between the charred flesh, and the huge body fell down limply.

The little girl's screams had basically never stopped from the beginning until now. She was now struggling desperately in the water, and finally managed to avoid the fallen body of the dead giant monster.

"Ugh!!" It was the first time that Hermione saw a corpse with such a tragic death, and she couldn't help but dry heaving.

But for Harry, Hermione's reaction was a good thing. At least it proved that she was safe. Compared with Voldemort, it was not difficult for Harry to kill these two giant monsters.

The ability to cast magic makes wizards much more threatening than seemingly physically powerful magical animals like trolls.

To Harry, the most threatening thing about magical animals like trolls is the smell on them. For wild beasts like wolves, this smell is too...

But then again, as a shaman who had been on the battlefield for a long time, Harry had encountered everything. Compared with ogres, wild boars, demons and other things, as well as various places and sewers he had visited during his adventures, these trolls were nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

It even bit the troll's head and pulled it out. The huge ghost wolf stepped on the troll's falling body and fell to the ground. After spitting out the head, it looked at Voldemort again. All this seemed to have taken a long time, but in fact it only happened in a few seconds. Voldemort had just used a spell to seal the water element, whose whole body turned into surging waves, on the other side of the corridor. When he turned around, Harry had already killed two trolls and was staring at him.

“Is this the soul magic you have mastered?” Voldemort laughed in a low voice. He seemed to have had an attack and his reason had regained control. “Interesting – come on, Harry, let me see how powerful your soul magic is.”

Without saying anything, Harry growled.

next second.

"Avada Kedavra!!!"

A blinding green light shone through the corridor, and the beast transformed by Fiendfyre controlled by Voldemort pounced on him with its fangs and claws bared. Harry could even feel the scorching heat!
Twisting his body swiftly to avoid the light of the Killing Curse, Harry pounced on Voldemort! !

Then——"All curses are over!!!"

A loud, old voice suddenly pierced the entire corridor, and a visible orange-yellow halo quickly spread from the ground. Wherever it went, the fierce fire quickly weakened, and even the transformed beasts began to shrink back.

Even the golden shield on Voldemort's body flashed quickly a few times and then disappeared without a trace. Just as the literal meaning of the spell, all spells would be ended.

When Harry arrived in front of Voldemort, even the fierce flames that were just waving their claws had been completely extinguished - the huge wolf claws swung down! The sharp claws even tore Voldemort's entire body apart!
A screaming black shadow emerged from the black robe, howling in pain, while Voldemort was laughing wildly at the same time. Without even saying a word, he dived under the floor and disappeared.

There was a flash of blue light, and the giant wolf in the middle of the corridor disappeared. Harry stood on the ground again, looking at the corpse in front of him - if it could really be called a corpse.

melted.

As the words say, the corpse that Voldemort possessed was transformed.

There was no flesh or blood, nor any bones. Only the black robe was left, soaked in the water that had flooded the entire corridor. The robe was swaying, and some charred liquid that looked like melted asphalt was seeping out from the robe and mixing into the running water.

Staring at the place where Voldemort disappeared, this was the first time that Harry clearly saw Voldemort's soul - it was indeed his soul, not some new dark magic creature or shadow creature, but a fragment of the soul, with only the head part left.

And on that fragment, Harry saw Voldemort's painful expression.

In addition to the fundamental pain that Voldemort suffered from his soul being split into pieces, there was also the damage left by the claws of the ghost wolf that Harry had transformed into.

When Harry transforms into a ghost wolf, he will also cause some damage to the target's soul when causing damage, not just tearing the target's flesh.

But these were only minor post-war summaries. What Harry felt familiar with was actually the state of Voldemort's soul fragments now manifesting itself - he was very familiar with it, very familiar with it.

Because when he was in Azeroth, Harry had seen such a soul fragment that was emitting a dark light all over. It was not anywhere else, but on Harry's own body.

To be precise, it is the position of his forehead.

That scar.

As a gifted shaman, Harry discovered the existence of the soul fragment only after he had mastered the shamanic art to a certain degree, received the infusion of elemental power for the first time and temporarily transformed himself into the form of an elemental ascender, which is the ascension ceremony.

And then nothing happened.

Unlike Harry who had already gone a long way in the shamanic path, that soul fragment seemed to have no consciousness of its own and knew nothing about the shamanic path.

The so-called ascension ceremony is actually to transform the shaman's flesh and blood body into an elemental body, which is essentially even a new elemental creature.

During the ritual, the person performing the ritual will be baptized by the power of elements both physically and spiritually. Only the shaman who is well versed in the essence of elements and skilled in their power can successfully complete the ritual and obtain the form of an elemental ascender.

Flame, atmosphere, and water↓
There are many forms of ascension that an elemental ascender can master, not just limited to the four elements, there are even forms such as ice, mercury, and source to choose from.

For Harry, it was simply a matter of gaining a new power to protect Azeroth.

But for the piece of soul in Harry, this could only mean one thing - death.

During the entire Ascension Ritual, Harry could clearly sense the existence of the soul fragment above his head, and could also clearly see it being shattered and destroyed under the infusion of elemental power. In the end, not even a trace of soul residue was left.

There wasn't even a last word, and Harry didn't even know why there was such a piece of soul fragment in his body, and whose soul fragment was scattered everywhere, when it was obvious that Harry's own soul was very complete and healthy.

But now the question that had troubled Harry for a long time was finally answered. Harry had never thought that the soul fragment would be a part of Voldemort - it was too small to even retain its own consciousness.

It was impossible for Voldemort to cut off a part of his soul and put it into the body of his enemy, so everything could only be an accident - an accident that happened on the night of the killing eleven years ago.

This sudden truth made Harry feel a little complicated.

"The clouds and fog have dissipated."

Behind him, the sound of Dumbledore's spell and the splashing sound of water as many people walked across the water were heard again. Then, the water vapor that almost filled the entire corridor and made it impossible to see what was ahead disappeared.

"Oh my god!!"

Harry could hear Professor McGonagall gasp and then exclaim.

She was shocked by what she saw now.

"Is it him, Harry?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

"Yes, Headmaster." Harry turned around and scanned the faces of several professors one by one. "It's just as you thought. He set a trap here."

“—Voldemort.”
