Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Not to mention Snape and his crew couldn't handle them, even the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic would give them a run for their money.

Karkaroff figured it all out in a very short time. He keenly realized that no matter how hard he tried to save his life from the Dark Lord, he would have to do it.

Whether they try to escape from the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic or not, they need to make a big fuss so that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic won't have time to deal with them.

Suddenly, a low roar of a fire dragon echoed from inside the vault.

Karkarov knew about this thing; a Ukrainian iron belly was imprisoned in Gringotts' vault.

This is a species of fire dragon found in Ukraine, and it is the largest fire dragon in the world, bar none.

Adult Ukrainian Ironbelly can weigh up to 6 tons. Due to its round body, it flies slower than other dragons like the Venomous Fang Dragon and the Longhorn Dragon, but being slow does not mean it is not dangerous.

The Ukrainian Iron Belly is so large that it can crush houses and some buildings into dust; it also has long, venomous claws.

Most importantly, this thing can breathe fire.

The Gringotts goblins imprisoned Ironbelly of Ukraine here because they had their own methods of taming him.

Now, this Ukrainian iron belly has clearly been awakened by the commotion caused by Karkarov and his group.

However, the fire dragon is deep inside the vault, so as long as they don't deliver it, it won't be used as an extra meal by this Ukrainian iron-bellied man.

'I've got an idea!' A crazy thought popped into Karkaroff's mind. Since they had already attacked Gringotts' vault...

How about we just release the "guardians" of this vault?

"Listen, that idiot up there messed up the mission he assigned us! The reason he sent us to attack Gringotts was to avoid any association with him."

Otherwise, how could we, the people hiding outside, be given this kind of job?

Since we've made a mistake, we need to make amends. We're going to release that thing down there in a bit.

"What's that thing down there??" The other two Death Eaters looked pale, a stark contrast to their black cloaks.

"You know what's down there, right? Ukraine's Iron Belly! The world's largest fire dragon! You think we should release that thing?"

"Kakarov, are you insane?!"

Chapter 108 Fudge Gets Hard

"Am I crazy? I'm not crazy, that's why I released that thing." Karkaroff grabbed one Death Eater by the arm.

"What else can you do? Are you planning to play the victim in front of 'him,' or just beg for mercy?"

Karkaroff sneered: "If begging for mercy really worked, what kind of Dark Lord would he be?"

Or are you planning to commit suicide before even seeing 'him'?

Karkaroff directly awakened the two Death Eaters' fear of Voldemort.

Yes, Karkaroff is right, they didn't complete their mission, they even messed it up.

If they don't make a big fuss, they'll really be on the run.

Running away for one's life is fine, but the problem is...

The two Death Eaters simultaneously thought of the Dark Mark on their arms; damn it, that thing was an indelible location curse.

Once Voldemort really wants to find them, it won't matter where they hide.

Of course, Voldemort's Dark Mark was not omnipotent.

Where prophecy can be blocked, Voldemort's Dark Mark can also be blocked.

The problem is, it's hard to say whether these people even know about this. Even if they do know, where would they go to perform this kind of magical ritual?

This thing is usually only placed in the residences of top wizarding families, and some places with special needs, like Gringotts, may also have it.

But firstly, they wouldn't be taken in by such a top-tier wizarding family, and secondly... they couldn't very well live in Gringotts' vault.

Without much hesitation, the two Death Eaters realized that releasing the Ukrainian iron belly below seemed to be their only way out.

If they don't want the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic to arrest them again.

"Let's do it! Karkarov, we believe you." The trio headed straight for the bottom of the vault, and with a few incantations, the chains binding Ukraine's iron belly were forcibly broken and released.

The Ukrainian Iron Belly, which had been trapped, didn't even realize it was free until Karkarov cast an Eye Strike spell on the dragon's eye.

The Eye Curse is an effective spell used to deal with fire dragons.

The intense pain will temporarily blind the dragon. It is worth noting that temporarily blinding a dragon requires a considerable amount of skill from the wizard in casting an eye curse.

If the strength is insufficient...

The Eye Disease Curse will not only fail to blind the fire dragon, but will even directly enrage it.

This Ukrainian iron belly has been trapped in the underground gold mine of Gringotts.

Its eyes had long been blinded due to prolonged lack of light, but Karkaroff's eye curse still caused it unbearable pain.

The next second, the Ukrainian Iron Belly flew into a rage and got up to find the wizard who had attacked it.

The moment it stood up, the fire dragon discovered that the chains that had bound it for years had already come off.

At this moment, Ukraine's iron-willed leader's yearning for freedom directly tempered his anger.

Fly, fly away from this place, fly away from this cage that imprisons you!

Because the upward passage was too narrow, the vault's passageway was not suitable for the fire dragon to fly upwards, so it had no choice but to climb.

Even so, the narrow passages on both sides made the fire dragon stumble and lose its way.

Karkaroff and the two Death Eaters simply used the "Digging Charm" to clear a path for the dragon.

The fire dragon, imprisoned for many years, realized that someone was helping it.

It immediately followed the opened path upwards.

-----------------

As the Dark Mark ascended into the sky, Rufus Scrimgeour immediately learned that Death Eaters had cast the Dark Mark in Diagon Alley.

The prerequisite for casting the Black Mark is that the Death Eater has committed a murder or done something terrible.

Since no Death Eater had dared to do something so brazenly for many years, Scrimgeour initially thought it was some kind of false alarm.

Are these Death Eaters crazy? They dare to cause trouble in Diagon Alley?

What's the difference between this and directly attacking him, the Auror office director?

When Scrimgeour confirmed that the Dark Mark had indeed appeared in Diagon Alley, and that Gringotts had been attacked by Death Eaters, Scrimgeour was like a raging lion.

"All Aurors on duty, move out immediately! Seize those bastards! What do they think this is?!"

Voldemort, the master of the Death Eaters, has been dead for so many years, yet he still dares to jump out and cause trouble.

Scrimgeour thought the Death Eaters who attacked Isaac's house were already very brave, but he didn't expect there to be even more formidable warriors among them.

Are these bastards so poor they've gone crazy?

Wait a minute... Weren't all the poor, powerless, and Voldemort's die-hard followers imprisoned in Azkaban? How dare the remaining two outside do something like this?

Scrimgeour led the team out, while simultaneously reporting the situation to the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Minister Fudge.

The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Bones, fully supported Scrimgeour's actions and even sent people to inquire whether Scrimgeour needed to send more personnel.

If needed, strikers from the Magic Law Enforcement Team can also be deployed to Scrimgeour.

This proposal was rejected by Scringer.

In his view, this group of Death Eaters was not worth such attention. Once all the strikers were sent over, the Ministry of Magic's armed forces would be almost fully mobilized.

The Aurors he brought were enough to handle the current situation, and there was no need to send more people.

If Director Amelia's anger stemmed from official business, then Cornelius Fudge was genuinely cursing in his office.

Cornelius Fudge was genuinely afraid that Dumbledore would find out about this and then suddenly say something like, "The Death Eaters are so rampant, it seems Voldemort is still alive."

Since Voldemort is not dead, I want to return to the fold and become Minister of Magic.

After his outburst of rage, Cornelius Fudge gave Scrimgeour 13 orders, demanding that he subdue the Death Eaters on the scene immediately.

Then interrogate them thoroughly to see what these bastards are up to.

Yes, Cornelius Fudge didn't think this was a sign of Voldemort's resurrection either; he just thought these Death Eaters seemed to be out of their minds.

Speaking of Death Eaters... Cornelius Fudge thought of Lucius Malfoy.

Although Lucius Malfoy proved through a hearing that he was actually under the Imperius Curse and that's why he was acting as a Death Eater.

How could Connery Fudge not know what was going on with this old guy?

To put it simply, Lucius Malfoy bled Fudge quite a bit in order to clear his name of the Death Eaters' guilt.

Why was Lucius able to become Cornelius Fudge's informal private advisor? It's simply because the guy gave him so much money.

Upon receiving Fudge's order, Scrimgeour joked with the Aurors beside him, saying that it was rare for their minister to be so assertive, and they had to complete this task perfectly.

Otherwise, they were genuinely afraid that Fudge, who failed to get hard this time, would never be able to get hard again.

Chapter 109 What does it mean that Death Eaters came to gank us riding fire dragons?

Apparition allowed Scrimgeour to quickly lead the Auror army to Diagon Alley and surround Gringotts immediately.
