Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 476 Slytherin: A Dirty Thief! I'm up at 8 AM!
Slytherin's expression turned serious.

Since the start of the fight, the vampire on the other side, who calls himself Cain, has been using wizard magic, not the kind of magic that vampires are good at!

But that's not the most crucial point...

Cain held a slender wand in his hand, calmly dealing with Slytherin's storm of attacks.

"Stab!"

Slytherin's spell was deflected.

"Finally found it?" Cain smiled. "Aren't you surprised?"

Slytherin remained silent, focusing solely on their attack.

"Heh, I knew you'd figured it out even if you didn't say it. That's right... I know all the magic you know, and I also know the magic you don't. How are you going to defeat me?"

The next second, a white bone phantom erupted from Slytherin's wand and lunged at Cain!

Cain chuckled, and an identical skeletal phantom emerged from his wand!

"puff!"

The phantom images collided, exploding into a strange cloud of black mist...

Slytherin gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Fighting Cain always felt like attacking a mirror... No matter what magic he used, Cain could always counter with the same magic!

Cain laughed and said, "Didn't I already say it? I am you, and you are me. You understand, so how could I not understand?"

Slytherin said coldly, "No! Even if you know all my knowledge, even if you know everything about me, you still won't be me! Slytherin will never allow its bloodline to be tainted! Die, you despicable thief!"

"I already told you, I know everything you know, you can't break my defense... Hmm? No, that's not right!" Cain transformed into a flash of blood.

At the same time, a purple spell grazed past him, blasting a large crater in the ground behind him!
Inside the large pit, an unidentifiable green liquid was slowly eroding the ground!

"What kind of magic is this? How come I don't know it?!" Cain stared in surprise at the large pit.

Slytherin didn't answer, but silently bombarded him with all the dark magic he and Livid had been researching!
Didn't you say you know everything I know? Then try this!
Cain never imagined that a ghost would have the ability to learn... and even learn so much dark magic that he himself had not mastered!

In fact, his mistake is that he is still applying common sense about ghosts to Slytherins.

How could an ordinary ghost use a wand and magic?
Cain, who had never seen these new spells before, was initially overwhelmed by the Slytherin's attacks.

“That kid Vader was right, magic and fighting styles aren’t necessarily stronger the older they are. Now it seems… that’s definitely true…”

Slytherin looked at Cain, who had completely inherited his fighting style and magic, and it was as if he were seeing himself a thousand years ago.

Although they were powerful, their spellcasting revealed many flaws because the casting speed of magic at that time was far slower than that of magic today...

The combat style is outdated and unoriginal... It's completely uninspired.

Slytherin could deduce that the being that had taken over his body must also be an old thing that had lived for a long time and had been asleep for a long time, just like himself.

Therefore, he only inherited the memories and fighting style that remained in his physical body, without making any changes.

In other words, if it were Li Weide controlling his own body, he certainly wouldn't be as rigid as this thief when using the magic he knows.

The battle continues.

Slytherin's spellcasting relied on the layer of clothing given to him by Livid, but in terms of magical power, it was ultimately no match for Cain.

The advantage gained unexpectedly was quickly reversed.

When two fighters are evenly matched in combat skills, the deciding factor becomes a pure contest of magical power.

Moreover... Cain is only using wizard magic right now; he hasn't even used his vampire magic yet.

Moreover, to Slytherin's surprise, this despicable thief also possessed remarkable learning abilities!
After only a few minutes of playing, the problem of my spellcasting being slow was actually corrected!

Clearly, when the other party stole his physical body, they also stole his talent!

This was the first time Slytherin had ever truly hated his own talent...

"Heh heh, I'd like to see how long you can hold out," Cain chuckled.

In his view, Slytherin's ability to fight as a ghost must be subject to very strict conditions.

He didn't believe the other side could hold out for much longer!
“You should worry about yourself!” Slytherin replied calmly.

Li Weide's improved magic clothes allow him to fight at full strength for a long time.

Unless Cain defeats him now, it's almost impossible to wear him down!
Therefore, Slytherin was not worried at all.

Seeing Slytherin's composure, Cain on the other side seemed to realize that his guess was wrong.

"Since that's the case, then I'll just have to defeat you head-on... How lucky! I only wanted to ask you for that branch to make a wand, but I never expected to run into you. Great... even better if you're here. If I can devour your soul as well, then I'll be completely perfect!"

Cain originally came to America in search of other blood ancestors, but unexpectedly saw the snake tree outside Ephamoni.

As the wand that Slytherin once owned, snakewood naturally held an attraction for him as well.

Because the serpent tree had not yet become a wand when Slytherin died, Cain did not recognize its origins.

He subconsciously felt that this snakewood could be used to make a wand that would be perfect for him, so he came.

Unfortunately, snakewood is incredibly hard; even Cain couldn't break off even a small twig from it.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to give up and leave, he ran into Slytherin who had obtained the branch!
Then there was this scene.

"You want to eat me? Then you're welcome to try!" Slytherin roared in fury.

This bastard stole my body, turned into a vampire, and now he even wants to devour my soul?
How can there be such disgusting people!

As Slytherin's anger intensified, Cain felt the pressure increase dramatically. He realized that defeating Slytherin quickly today would require more than just wizarding magic.

The battle is raging now, and Ilvermorny's professors will soon come out to check on the situation. He must deal with the Slytherins as soon as possible! At the very least, he must severely injure them!
Thinking of this, Cain didn't stop wielding his wand in his right hand, and he also raised his left hand, where dense blood energy began to gather!

The next second, "Puff!"

Cain exploded! He scattered into a sky full of blood bats!

Blood bats surged toward Slytherin, blotting out the sky!

Slytherin calmly drew out a long Fiendfire, which instantly enveloped his entire body, and pounced on the blood bats that were rushing in from all directions!

Thanks to Livid and Miravia's experience fighting vampires, Slytherin now has a thorough understanding of vampires.

Even when faced with such bizarre magic, they can calmly deal with it!

Fiendfyre, a dark magical flame capable of burning everything, Slytherin didn't believe Cain would be foolish enough to run into the fire!
Sure enough, the Blood Bats didn't dare to approach the Fiendfire, but just when Slytherin thought they had dealt with this wave of attacks...

The blood bats suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then, a deadly curse shot out from each of them!

Hundreds and thousands of deadly curses turned the night sky a dark green!
Slytherin's pupils contracted slightly.

It's almost impossible for one person to unleash so many killing curses! Therefore, only a very small number of these attacks are likely genuine!
However... he couldn't tell, so he only had two options: block or dodge.

However, it seemed too late for Slytherin to defend themselves.

Therefore, the best way to deal with this is to Apparate to avoid it!
But... is Apparition really safe?

For wizards of their caliber, even short-range apparitions can be instantly determined by the trajectory of their magic!
It's highly likely that Cain was waiting for him right where he appeared, right after he Apparated!
However, there is currently no available method...

Slytherin gritted his teeth, then Apparated. The instant he vanished, he reached into the pocket of his robes… “Heh! I’ve been waiting for you!”

Sure enough, just as Slytherin Apparated to appear a few meters away, Cain had already Apparated to his side as well!
The emerald green spell directly illuminated Slytherin's milky white ghostly face!
"clang!"

With a crisp metallic clang, Cain's sure-fire spell was blocked!
Cain was slightly taken aback. The Slytherin opposite him had already run out of the attack range and was leisurely putting a glittering silver watch on his wrist...

Several silver shards, moving as fast as lightning, were spinning around Slytherin!

It was the self-defense watch that Li Weide had made back then...

"Sigh, that kid was right... good equipment can really be a big help..."

Slytherin had to admit that he had been narrow-minded before.

Slytherins were initially somewhat resistant to this equipment because it was too "automatic".

If the battle were all automated, that would indeed go against his ideal of the art of wizard combat...

However, it seems that while the art may not have been artistic enough, it certainly saved lives.

Cain wanted to say something more, but Slytherin was too lazy to waste words with him.

"go with!"

Five silver metal pieces, except for one left to protect himself, the other four slashed towards Cain like bullets!

Hearing the gates of Ilvermorny House being opened not far away, and that someone was running towards them, Slytherin felt much more at ease.

Although he couldn't catch the thief, vampires were now the common enemy of wizards worldwide, especially once those Iphamoni professors arrived.

Cain would then have to face even more enemies.

Even though those professors weren't as strong as Cain, their presence kept him from focusing on dealing with the experienced Slytherins!

Most importantly, he cannot be exposed to the light. If a powerful vampire were discovered in the United States, no matter what his purpose in coming to the United States was, his whereabouts would definitely be discovered and he would be delayed!

Sure enough, after Cain casually blocked the attack of those metal pieces, he also heard the commotion over there, and his movements became hesitant.

"What? You think you can leave?" Slytherin sneered. "You can leave, but leave my physical body behind!"

Slytherin realized that this guy might want to leave.

"Heh, what use would it be to leave it to you? This is already my body! And my bloodline has been defiled by me... If I give it back to you, would you still want it? Hahaha! Would you want to become a vampire?"

Cain's words completely broke Slytherin's defenses...

What's the difference between this and having your wife kidnapped and then being returned to you while heavily pregnant?
"Cain! I'm up at 8 AM! @#@￥..."

The only sounds at the scene were birdsong and the fragrance of flowers...

However, when a person is angry, that is also when their vigilance decreases... because they lose their composure.

Losing composure means making mistakes in judgment...

In battle, any mistake can be fatal!

This was also Cain's purpose in deliberately provoking Slytherin!

Sure enough, just as Slytherin was completely off guard, dozens of blood-red thorny vines silently sprang up from the ground and stabbed towards Slytherin's back!
By the time Slytherin realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge, and the metal plate protecting him couldn't stop so many vines...

Slytherin could sense a destructive power emanating from those thorny vines... Even as a ghost, he couldn't escape the cursed damage they carried!

Cain laughed triumphantly.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a beam of green light descended from the sky!

"puff!"

"what!"

Cain's laughter turned into a scream!
Half of his body was fried into minced meat!
Cain looked up once, and the remaining half of his body instantly turned into a red light and disappeared into the sewer!
Slytherin stared in astonishment at the sudden turn of events, while the crimson thorns that were aimed at his back turned to dust and vanished...

The nearest vine was only centimeters away from piercing his back...

The silver pieces flew back into the watch on Slytherin's wrist, and he slowly looked up.

In the night sky, a black vintage car is suspended high above.

A beautiful young witch was standing on the roof of the carriage, looking down.

"What the hell?! It took my ancient magic-enhanced Killing Curse and it still managed to escape!" Miravia was shocked.

"Whoosh!"

The car pulled up beside Slytherin in an instant, and Miravia asked, "What's going on?"

“Let’s go... Ifamoni’s men are coming,” Slytherin said in a low voice.

Because of Li Weide, the two had met before and knew each other.

Miravia glanced in that direction, her wand flashing through the air, a wisp of white mist dissipating in all directions...

"It's alright now, they can't see us anymore."

Sure enough, when Miravia said this, the professors who had walked ten meters away and were about to ask her questions suddenly turned around and left.

It was as if they hadn't seen the two people and the car in front of them at all...

“Your magic seems even more powerful than before…” Slytherin exclaimed.

"So what exactly happened?"

Slytherin felt a sense of confusion as he recalled what had just happened.

His greatest obsession was to find his physical body, but now that he has found it, however... he would rather he hadn't found it!
As Slytherin recounted what had just happened, Miravia's beautiful eyes widened. "So that's how it is! I was wondering where this incredibly powerful vampire came from. He survived my Killing Curse and even escaped! That's outrageous!"

While Slytherin was grieving, Miravia had already run to the pile of flesh and blood...

It was the very spot where Cain was blown to bits...

Logically speaking, the Killing Curse shouldn't cause such injuries. The Killing Curse always kills people without causing any harm, so how could it explode on a person like this?
Even the vampires she killed with the Killing Curse before, she didn't leave a single trace.

“That was my physical body…” Slytherin walked over and quietly looked at the flesh and blood on the ground. “I suspect that the thief who controlled my body wasn’t actually attached to my body! He was controlling it remotely!”

"Hiss... So that's why the Killing Curse hit that person like it hit an object! Because his soul wasn't there!" Miravia suddenly realized. "The first vampire in history? This guy is really something else!"

As Miravia spoke, she pulled out a plastic bag that had previously contained small cakes from her bosom. After slightly expanding the inside with a Seamless Stretch Charm, she began to grit her teeth and magically move the mass of flesh into the bag bit by bit…

"What are you doing?" Slytherin asked.

“Take it back and give it to Li Weide; he’ll definitely like it.”

"No...this is my physical body..."

"Isn't that it? You didn't know, did you? With just a little blood, Li Weide can clone a person directly. Maybe he can even help you restore your physical body?"

“I don’t want it even if it’s restored!” Slytherin said angrily. “That damned! Shameless thief! He’s turned my body into a vampire’s body! I’d rather be a ghost than become that kind of monster!”

"Alright, alright... But old man, you know, right? Li Weide has broken most of Nagini's blood curse. Do you think he can regenerate a body for you that hasn't been tainted by the vampire curse?"
