Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 481 You think you're so great! You think you're so high and mighty! Everyone likes you!
Sebastian clearly didn't have Cain's ability to withstand the Killing Curse, and quickly dodged to the side.

Vampires are incredibly fast, so theoretically he should be able to dodge it.

However, as he dodged, the blood mist thinned out a bit, allowing Li Weide's palm lightning to seep in...

Vampires are faster than the Killing Curse, but still slower than lightning.

"Stab!"

The lightning bolt pierced through the blood mist and struck Sebastian, blasting out a cloud of blood mist.

If Li Weide's palm lightning hadn't been weakened by the blood mist, it would have pierced through him directly.

Clearly, Miravia's killing curse was merely a cover for Livid's attack...

The killing curse was neither too fast nor too slow, and the timing was just right.

If I'm any faster, Sebastian will apparite; if I'm any slower, I can't scare him into weakening his defenses.

Only when the speed is just right will Sebastian feel he can dodge it on his own.

But the result was that, in this highly deceptive attack, if you dodged, you would be struck by lightning; if you didn't dodge, you would die on the spot...

Sebastian was blasted away by the lightning and fell some distance away, feeling excruciating pain from his wounds...

In the past, no matter how serious his injuries were, his wounds would heal quickly in a short time thanks to his vampire's self-healing ability.

But for some reason, this time the wound showed absolutely no signs of healing!

Sebastian was shocked to discover that his healing ability had been greatly weakened!
Had I unknowingly fallen under the other party's curse? No... there's something wrong with that lightning!

Sebastian finally discovered that a powerful, destructive force was preventing his wound from healing...

That power... it's very similar to the power contained in sunlight! It's vampire... no! It's something that all dark creatures fear!
After defeating Cain, Li Weide took a moment to look back.

Seeing that Sebastian couldn't get up for a long time, I knew I had guessed right.

This Yang Lei is indeed the nemesis of these dark creatures...

Even sunlight, harmless to humans, carries a corrosive, curse-like quality for them...

These vampires are simply more resistant to disease.

“I’ll deal with Sebastian. It’s time to settle this,” Miravia suddenly said.

Seeing Sebastian's condition, Li Weide nodded in agreement.

"Be careful. If something seems wrong, strike him with lightning. The lightning used in ancient magic is still lightning, and it works very well against them."

After saying that, Li Wade picked up the Elder Wand and chased after Cain, who had Apparated...

In the distance, Sebastian finally stood up.

It's frustrating to think about. After making so many preparations and finally having the opportunity to scheme against the progenitor of vampires, he hadn't even had a chance to exert his full strength when, due to Miravia's interference, Li Weide took away most of his fighting power with a single palm strike.

Sebastian now only feels like a clown.

Suddenly, a feeling of anger at being betrayed by a close friend welled up from the bottom of my heart...

“I considered you a friend… Back then, it was Orminis and I who saved you, risking our lives to protect you… And this is how you treat me?”

"Boom!"

In the distance, the sound of thunder could be heard incessantly; the battle between Li Weide and Cain had begun.

Li Weide's battle was accompanied by a large amount of thunder, which sounded very strange under the blazing sunlight.

Miravia didn't look over there, but instead looked at her former best friend.

“I’m grateful that you saved me, but… you shouldn’t have turned yourself into this…”

"What did I do wrong by trying to save my sister? What right do you have to accuse me?" Sebastian suddenly let out a contemptuous laugh. "Didn't you also resort to any means to gain power back then? Otherwise, where did your strange powers come from? Did they fall from the sky?"

“We all know the principle behind that residue… We couldn’t even imagine how many people you turned into emotionless puppets to absorb so much residue!”

"According to your current thinking, shouldn't we have done the same thing back then—killed you without saying a word?"

"I became a vampire to save people; it's my obsession, my desire. But... didn't you become like that because you couldn't suppress your thirst for power? Then how are you any different from me?"

"Now it's all right... You seem to have recovered from your illness and turned into a good person again..."

"You're so amazing... You're so aloof... Everyone likes you... And now you're turning around and criticizing me? Do you think you deserve it?"

Sebastian's words struck Miravia like a thunderbolt, bringing back those long-buried memories...

At that time, she was influenced by the remnants and her mind was indeed clouded by the power. In order to collect the remnants, her methods, while not as ruthless as Isidora Morgana's, were not exactly honorable either...

Seeing Miravia frozen in shock, Sebastian continued, "You seem like a good person who's seen the error of her ways now, but... if you hadn't been so full you were about to burst, would you have stopped? I doubt it. You would have become even more ruthless! You would have become worse than me! More vicious..."

“No, I… I won’t…” Miravia retorted, but her trembling voice betrayed her emotions; clearly, she had begun to doubt herself.

"No way? Do you know what Orminus told me back then? He said you'd changed! You'd changed so much he didn't recognize you! You'd stopped listening to your friends' advice and only wanted to pursue power. Orminus said, maybe I should just leave you alone... Until that day, when you were about to burst from overeating, you ran back and said you were wrong... Did you know you were wrong? No, you knew you were about to die!"

"But even so, you are still our friend. Orminis and I worked day and night to find a way to rescue you. Orminis exhausted himself to create the cloak that would envelop your powers... After hiding you in that place, Orminis's body couldn't take it anymore. Until his dying breath, he was still holding my hand and telling me that I must continue to find a way to rescue you. He said that you were trapped in that place, all alone, and it was really pitiful... Did you think that all my visits to various ruins after that were just for my sister?"

“No…that’s not how it is…” Miravia raised her wand, trembling. “You’re talking nonsense!”

"Really? Am I talking nonsense?" Sebastian scoffed. "Think back carefully. Did you seem to be in control of yourself back then? You haven't forgotten what Orminis and I said to you, have you?"

Miravia was completely speechless, because when she was obsessed with that power, these two had indeed tried to dissuade her.

Especially Orminis, who came from the Gaunt family, knew all too well how alluring this kind of pure power was to people...

However, by then Miravia was no longer willing to listen to any advice...

The memories that Miravia had been deliberately burying and avoiding were directly exposed by Sebastian, turning into a sharp knife that pierced Miravia's heart.

Sebastian slowly walked up to Miravia.

“Since you’re so high and mighty, and so eager to kill me, then come on.” Sebastian said, reaching out to grab the tip of Miravia’s wand and pointing it at his forehead. “It’s simple, just like countless times before, all you have to do is recite that spell… Kill me, and you can continue being your good guy. Anyway, all my obsessions have been fulfilled. I just hope you won’t hurt Anne…”

Miravia's hand holding the wand was trembling.

"Why don't you do it? Kill me! Use the killing curse I taught you back then to kill me!"

"Bah!"

The wand fell to the ground, and Miravia's eyes went unfocused. The memories of Orminus completely shattered her psychological defenses...

Ormenes died for her.

For her, it was her greed for power that killed her best friend.

Now, what right does she have to stand on the moral high ground and say such righteous words to Sebastian? What difference is there between her and Sebastian in essence?

Looking back, from the moment I agreed to learn dark magic from Sebastian, I was already the same kind of person as him...

Sebastian looked at Miravia quietly, his voice suddenly softening, "You're out now... Although I don't know how you did it, Orminus's last wish before he died has been fulfilled... And as for me, I've healed my sister, and I have no regrets... You can kill me now, it doesn't matter..."

"Boom!"

A dazzling bolt of lightning blasted Sebastian away... silencing his unfinished words.

Li Weide walked up to Miravia and carefully examined her pale, paper-white face.

"Didn't I tell you? If anything seems off, strike him with lightning! And you, instead, are being accused of being defensive..."

“Wade… I’m not a good person, I actually…” Miravia said sadly.

“What a coincidence, I’m not actually one either,” Li Weide said, shrugging.

"I……"

“Only good people feel guilt and repent, Miravia. And… if you want to repent, you have to kill the enemy first and then go back and repent slowly. Otherwise… if you don’t kill the snake, you’ll get bitten.”

“If it were you, what would you do?” Miravia suddenly asked.

“Me? I would say that at this point, I have no interest in distinguishing right from wrong. Kill him first and we’ll talk about it later…” Li Weide said, and he had already arrived in front of Sebastian.

Sebastian clutched his charred chest, glaring fiercely at Levi, "You..."

“I rescued her,” Li Weide said.

"So it was you... cough cough... no wonder..."

"Alright, that's enough. Since you say you have no regrets... Avada Kedavra!"

There wasn't a single unnecessary word; the action was swift and decisive.

A flash of green light...

Sebastian lay helplessly on the ground, his pupils gradually dilating.

In a daze, he seemed to see again the time he spent with his friends...

Miravia approached and quietly looked at the lifeless Sebastian on the ground, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Suddenly, Miravia seemed to remember something and asked, "Where is Cain?"

"I'm glad you still remember you're here to fight. And that you remember who the enemy is," Li Weide said speechlessly.

He turned his head and pointed into the distance.

Miravia looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw a mangled corpse lying in the wilderness, surrounded by charred remains...

“He’s dead?” Miravia stared at the corpse in shock.

How could such a powerful vampire be killed by Li Weide in such a short time?
When did he become so strong?
“Dead, but not completely dead…” Li Weide said.

Cain is indeed very powerful, but he can't withstand the kind of playstyle that Lee Wade uses, where he treats his ultimate as a basic attack.

Moreover, that kind of lightning is particularly effective against vampires.

If it were any wizard of equal strength to Cain, his body wouldn't have been blown to pieces so quickly by Levi.

What does "not all of them are dead" mean?

“The thing hidden inside the body has escaped. I’ll continue the hunt in a bit. You should go back first. Didn’t you want to go back to repent? I’ve already sent a message here to have someone come and clean up the mess…” Li Weide didn’t explain much, and turned to call Auduin down from the sky.

The boy boarded the dragon's back and headed northwest, soon disappearing into the horizon...

After a long while, Miravia turned to look at Sebastian, who had died rather hastily on the ground.

However, when she turned around, she saw that there was another girl behind her who had appeared out of nowhere...

It was Sebastian's sister, Anne Salo, who still looked the same as she did back then, a young girl.

“Annie…I…”

“He’s dead…” Anne said quietly, as calmly as if she were discussing what to have for dinner.

She looked up at Miravia. "I'm a vampire now. Are you going to kill me?"

……

Riding on Auduin, Li Weide headed northwest.

Although Cain's physical body died, he was not truly dead.

Just as Slytherin had predicted, there was no soul in his body!
That was a strange consciousness... If Li Weide hadn't studied a lot about consciousness and been familiar with that kind of magical fluctuation, this consciousness would never have been discovered when it was escaping!
However, after discovering the consciousness entity, Li Weide had already secretly tampered with it...

The consciousness's movements were completely under his watchful eye!
Li Weide guessed that this thing would definitely go back to its old lair!

Since we're going back to our base, the next move is pretty self-explanatory...

The principle of eradicating problems at their root must be thoroughly implemented, otherwise the trouble will never end!
But gradually, Li Weide began to feel that something was wrong.

As he tracked it, he found himself being led down a familiar path—a path he had taken when he first came to the Soviet Union…

Half an hour later, when Auduin stopped on a snow-covered mountain, Li Weide fell completely silent.

Because he recognized the place the consciousness had escaped into...

It was the same strange tomb I had entered when I came to the Soviet Union to rescue Slytherin!

The tomb door of the large grave remains half-closed, just as it was when Li Weide left.

The darkness behind the door was indescribably eerie...
