Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Under normal circumstances, Fiendfire will strongly backfire on the wizard who cast the spell, usually when there is nothing around to burn.

Or, if the scale of the Fiend being fed becomes too large and completely out of control.

Fiendfire has "life," and the so-called Fiendfire Spell is more like a summoning spell to summon Fiendfire.

The Fiend summoned by Isaac is smaller, so it has a smaller appetite and a smaller temper, making it easier to control.

"Then send that goblin manager outside to Scrimgeour and tell him that the Lestrange family's vault has been cursed with Fiendfire, and have him bring the Aurors to deal with it."

Snape nodded and moved his wand.

"Would the goblins really let the Aurors into Gringotts' vault? You know, these goblins trust their own spellbreakers more than the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic."

Abernathy didn't think these goblins were so sensible; they were only so obedient to the Death Eaters because the Death Eaters really would take their lives.

But for the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, it's a completely different set of standards.

These fairies never conceal their malice towards wizards who are not their customers.

“It’s alright.” Isaac waved his hand gently. “The fairies are unhappy, and Scrimgeour is even more unhappy. What difference does it make who we take our anger out on?”

Let the fairies temporarily serve as Karkaroff's scapegoats.

Oh, Professor, remember to inform Karkaroff that he can return to Durmstrang to continue being his principal.

Chapter 114 Hey, as long as I can fly faster than you, that's fine.

Karkaroff was still waiting for the Dark Lord's orders in Gringotts. There was nothing he could do; the mission had turned out this way, and he didn't know if Snape had gotten what the Dark Lord wanted.

Karkaroff knew that when you bet, you should bet big, and when you withdraw, you should withdraw cleanly and completely.

Therefore, he was a core member of the Death Eaters, and after Voldemort's downfall, he was also one of the core members who was quickest to turn against the Death Eaters.

Why should a Death Eater caught red-handed be exempted from punishment by the Ministry of Magic?

It's because the list of Death Eaters he provided was substantial enough.

This must include members of those pure-blood families—with Karkaroff's confession, the Ministry of Magic can extract even more money from these guys.

Now that he's been pulled back to the Death Eaters' table by the "respected" Dark Lord, Karkaroff has to place a heavy bet.

Wizards who are unwilling to give out chips will only be kicked off the Death Eaters' poker table by the Dark Lord as trash.

It's important to understand that leaving the Death Eaters' card table doesn't guarantee their safe departure.

Below is a sheer cliff; leaving means certain death.

Therefore, Karkarov could not leave, nor dared to leave.

Even though the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic had already subdued Gringotts' fire dragon, he still had to wait until the very last moment.

He prayed frantically to Merlin in his heart, praying that Snape could successfully complete the task given to him by the Dark Lord.

"Igor, let's go."

Just as Karkaroff was struggling with his inner turmoil, Snape's voice floated into his ears.

Karkaroff didn't even bother to figure out how Snape had managed to get the sound into his ears. He immediately sprang into action and fired a Killing Curse at the Death Eater who had just launched "Resurrected Bones" into the sky.

Avada Kedavra!

Karkaroff's shout made the Aurors instinctively start to dodge; the Killing Curse was somewhat like an anti-material sniper rifle.

Both are fatal if they come into contact with the enemy, and death is inevitable if they are even touched. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to charge forward under the green light of the Killing Curse.

Karkaroff, or rather Isaac, timed it perfectly.

The Aurors had just subdued the fire dragon that Gringotts had unleashed and hadn't had a chance to deal with them yet.

His shout of "Avada Kedavra" and the green light emanating from his wand shattered the Auror's formation.

Even Scrimgeour immediately found cover and hid.

He had experienced the First Wizarding War in England, so he had a deeper understanding of the power of the Killing Curse.

He became an Auror in his youth and spent most of his life fighting dark wizards.

So many comrades, leaders, and subordinates have died under the Killing Curse; it's a miracle Scrimgeour didn't develop PTSD.

Similarly, the Aurors under Scrimgeour's command, because they had to deal with dark wizards, had a greater understanding of killing curses than ordinary wizards.

How many times in a lifetime can an ordinary wizard encounter a killing curse?

This is especially true for wizards born after Voldemort's downfall.

This group's understanding of the Killing Curse was limited to the textbook introduction, and very few people were "lucky" enough to see the green light that took away a person's name.

After taking down the idiot who launched "Reappearance of Bones," Karkaroff immediately rushed into the Quidditch boutique.

Quidditch Boutique is a shop located on the north side of Diagon Alley that sells all sorts of Quidditch gear, such as Quaffles, Runaways, Quidditch toolboxes, and the like.

But the store's most important business is still flying brooms.

Karkaroff was the first to rush into the store and immediately grabbed the latest flying broomstick on the display shelf—the Nimbus 2000.

Fortunately, what the store was displaying turned out to be the real thing.

That makes sense; aren't the display cars in 4S stores all real, drivable cars?

Even if there were any anti-theft devices, they were probably disabled by the store manager immediately.

There was no other way; a Death Eater who had just killed someone burst in, wanting to steal the flying broom. If the Death Eater had just gotten it, it would have been fine; they could have just taken it and left.

The maximum loss was three flying brooms.

But if we don't let them take it... Death Eaters really do kill people.

The store suffers the loss, but your life is your own.

Even if the boss wanted to punish the manager, he wouldn't go so far as to kill him, would he?

And so, Karkaroff effortlessly snatched a Nimbus 2000.

The two Death Eaters behind were clearly not as lucky as Karkaroff. There was only one Nimbus 2000 in the shop, so they had to settle for the second-best flying broom.

One of them stole a Comet 260, a product of the Comet Trading Company from the 80s, which was a mainstream model in amateur Quidditch matches during the 80s.

Another one snatched the Nimbus 1500, an upgraded version launched by Nimbus Racing Broom Company in the 80s, which was the flagship model before the release of the Nimbus 2000.

The reason the three of them came to the Quidditch boutique to steal the flying broom was because when Scrimgeour arrived, he had someone set up an "Anti-Apparition Spell" throughout Diagon Alley.

As the name suggests, this spell prevents wizards in a certain area from using Apparition to leave.

Besides the Anti-Phantom Dispersion Spell, there is also the Anti-Phantom Manifestation Spell against Phantom Dispersion/Manifestation.

The purpose of this spell is to prevent wizards from "landing" in this area using apparition.

In summary, one controls what comes in, and the other controls what goes out.

Scrimgeour is now preventing the Death Eaters from leaving, so they have to steal flying brooms to get out of the area.

After grabbing the flying broom, Karkaroff soared into the sky, followed closely by two other Death Eaters.

The quick-thinking Auror immediately mounted his flying broom and began chasing the Death Eater trio.

At this point, the advantages of the flying broomstick became apparent, allowing Karkaroff to leave the Aurors far behind.

Even his two accomplices couldn't catch him.

It doesn't matter. As long as he isn't caught red-handed by the Aurors, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.

Could the curses of the British Ministry of Magic possibly affect Principal Durmstrang?

Bulgaria has its own Ministry of Magic!

At this moment, the Aurors chasing behind them began to shoot spells at them.

However, aerial combat is quite different from ground combat, and the Aurors' aim is rather poor.

In addition, most of the Aurors arrived via Apparate and did not bring flying brooms, so they could still handle it.

The moment Karkaroff realized he could use Apparition, he immediately activated the spell.

Apparition!

With a burst of Apparition sound, Karkaroff and Nimbus 2000 disappeared into the sky above Diagon Alley.

A few seconds later, two other Death Eaters also risked using Apparition.

They couldn't simply Apparate away from Britain, but it would take the Aurors time to track them down.

This amount of time is enough for them to use the "door key" that they prepared in advance.

Just as Scrimgeour was about to lead his men to continue tracking the three Death Eaters, the goblin manager, who had just been controlled by the Imperius Curse, stumbled and broke through the blockade of the Aurors around him.

"Director Scrinker, Director Scrinker! I am the manager of Gringotts, and I need to see Director Scrinker!"

I have an urgent report to Chief Scringer!

Chapter 115 Scrimgeour Driven to the Brink of Collapse by the Fairy

"Let him come over!" Scrimgeour ordered through gritted teeth.

He gets annoyed whenever he sees these fairies, because they've caused so much trouble.
