Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

"What happened?"

"What is the Dark Lord doing?"

"His attacks seem to be completely suppressed by Eric."

"How...how is this possible?"

Everyone was shocked.

They simply couldn't imagine how the two people, who were evenly matched just moments before, could suddenly undergo such a dramatic change.

Voldemort's attacks were completely ineffective against Eric, and were entirely countered.

This is really unbelievable.

Even disregarding that, the fact that Eric received equal treatment from Voldemort was enough to shake the entire wizarding world.

Whether in terms of personality or strength, the number of people who can gain Voldemort's recognition can be counted on one hand.

Voldemort was notoriously brutal.

So to others, this is simply a fairy tale.

Just as everyone was in shock, Voldemort's black mist suddenly vanished.

The next moment, Voldemort suddenly appeared behind one of the Death Eaters who was watching.

A burst of intense green light erupted from the head of Voldemort's wand in an instant, striking the Death Eater behind him.

"what!!!"

The Death Eater who was ambushed by Voldemort let out a scream and was killed on the spot by Voldemort.

Everyone around, whether or not they were Death Eaters, was startled.

Has Voldemort gone mad? He'd actually turn on his own people at a time like this?

Chapter 193 Horcruxes and Dumbledore!

Voldemort roared, "Give your master everything you have!"

After killing the Death Eater, he waved his wand again, striking his own head, and his eyes suddenly became unfocused.

A thick cloud of black mist emanated from his head, gradually condensing into a ball.

Upon closer inspection, the black mist looked exactly like Voldemort, only more transparent and without any solid form.

Voldemort roared, his whole body trembling as he struggled to suppress his physical reaction. He flicked his wand, sending the cloud of black energy flying toward a tree on the outskirts.

Immediately afterward, Voldemort's water arrow appeared behind him.

However, after Voldemort removed the black mist from his body, the water arrows suddenly lost their target.

Just before it was about to touch Voldemort's skin, the water arrow flew straight past Voldemort and appeared directly in front of the tree Voldemort was pointing at.

With a sharp crack, the thick tree root, which required several people to encircle, split in two.

The wound caused by the water jet was not a complete cross-section.

Instead, it formed a vast, empty area, much like a vacuum zone.

In this area, not even tree debris remained; it all vanished with the water jets.

A moment later, Voldemort's body reappeared before everyone.

His face was a mess, his clothes were torn and tattered, and there was a long scar on his chest.

This time, he could no longer conceal his tracks, because the water arrow was too fast and had a burning effect, making his skin smell burnt.

However, he ultimately escaped unscathed.

Should I say you're lucky or unlucky?

Eric laughed.

Only he and Voldemort knew what had just happened.

Just as the water arrow was about to pierce Voldemort's body, Voldemort miraculously created a Horcrux, splitting a portion of his soul and attaching it to the tree.

Horcruxes are a form of extremely evil magic.

For a user to split their soul, they must commit murder to fulfill the prerequisite for this magic.

Of all the targets present at the time, the only ones Voldemort could easily defeat were the Death Eaters who were completely unprepared for him.

For his own safety, Voldemort had no time to consider the feelings of the Death Eaters.

This is also because the water arrows Eric uses do not require Eric to command them himself.

Eric had set Voldemort's soul as the target of his water arrows from the very beginning.

This is because he had studied Voldemort's Horcruxes in depth, which enabled him to use such magic.

If there is anyone in this world who understands Voldemort's soul and his Horcruxes best, it can only be Eric.

Even Voldemort sometimes couldn't fully control the state of his own soul.

But Eric can do it.

Therefore, Eric was able to directly target Voldemort's core.

What followed was remarkably simple. He only needed to combine the Transfiguration spell, the Water Cleansing spell, the Pulling spell, and more than ten other spells into one, and he created the water arrow that Voldemort was now facing with great alarm.

The power of this composite magic is sufficient to destroy Horcruxes.

Unfortunately, Voldemort saw through Eric's magic at the last moment.

After Voldemort's attempts to escape using conventional methods failed, he quickly realized that Eric's magic was targeting him.

And it must be a part of his soul.

This is why he felt like he was being followed by a shadow the whole time, and he couldn't shake off that feeling of being locked on.

Therefore, even though the risk of splitting his soul on the spot was quite high, Voldemort still did it.

After all, if he didn't separate that part of his soul, the water arrow would target his main body.

Voldemort was not lacking in the resolve to make tough decisions.

However, the consequence of doing so was that Voldemort completely exposed himself.

It wasn't just the Horcrux magic that made Eric realize something; more importantly, it made Eric understand something.

That is, when a Horcrux is destroyed, its remaining power will return to the original body first!

Eric's mental stance was already established when he Apparated to save Harry and the others, along with Sirius Black.

From a spiritual perspective, Eric could clearly see this fact.

After the tree containing Voldemort's soul fragments was destroyed, the large mass of black energy representing Voldemort's soul, which had been separated from it, actually floated out again.

Then, in a place where Voldemort couldn't even notice, the black mist was reabsorbed by Voldemort himself!

It wasn't that she was attracted to Eric.

What this signifies is self-evident.

For Eric now, this conclusion is even more important than Voldemort himself.

With this as corroborating evidence, he finally had strong and compelling proof to support his conjecture.

The splitting of the soul is not a permanent solution!

On the contrary, it's a trap.

A trap created by the Horcrux itself, a type of magic.

The separated soul will eventually return to the wizard's body.

"Damn it, who are you?!" Voldemort glared at Eric.

He couldn't understand why Eric had blocked his attack and was even able to counterattack.

"I am Eric Clapton, your gravedigger," Eric said with a faint smile.

"And I am Voldemort!!!" Voldemort roared.

"Ten years ago, this name was very famous, but unfortunately, now you are nothing," Eric said.

"I don't believe it! How could you possibly be stronger than me?!" Voldemort roared.

Eric shook his head and said, "You're wrong. Aside from Dumbledore, you are indeed the strongest wizard I've ever seen; however, your weakness is also your most fatal flaw."

"Weakness?" Voldemort was taken aback.

This word was completely foreign to him.

"Are you talking about my weaknesses? Ridiculous! How could I possibly have weaknesses!" Voldemort laughed and said disdainfully.

Eric nodded slightly and said, "Your weakness is your arrogance."

"Arrogance is your flaw, and also your greatest weakness."

Voldemort was enraged upon hearing Eric's words.

"Damn it!" Voldemort roared and charged forward once again.

A cold smile appeared on Eric's lips. He raised his right hand, and the light on his wand shone brightly once more.

Voldemort's body, which was halfway through his charge, suddenly stopped.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

A tremendous fear rose within him.

I haven't felt this way in a long time.

He could feel an unparalleled power emanating from the wand, constantly eroding his soul.

This force is too powerful.

He felt as if his soul could be destroyed at any moment.

And this feeling comes from Eric's power.

"how so?"
