Hogwarts Wasteland: The Witch from the Borderlands

Chapter 542 Broken Weapon

Beneath the shadow of the colossal Holy Grail, warriors wielding four swords are encircling and capturing the Emperor's Sword, which resembles a dark red demonic star.

The others retreated far away to avoid being pierced through by a sword without warning.

With the chain in one hand and the sword in the stone in the other, Harry stood at the forefront in his strongest close-combat stance, clashing with the cursed sword time and time again.

Neville, holding a wand in its scabbard, had thin strands of mercury connecting the Gryffindor sword to its scabbard like ribbons, making the sword resemble a silver dragon, tumbling and dancing wildly in the air, providing support from the side.

Levi's mythical seed had just been pierced, and although he would recover quickly under the golden moonlight, he could only play a supporting role for now, wielding his torch-like sword of light on the outer edge.

Meanwhile, Krum rode a flying broomstick and, with his superb flying skills, blocked the Demon Sword's hope of escaping from the air.

The clanging sounds of their weapons clashing were incessant. The demon sword would instinctively avoid the fairy sword, but it couldn't withstand the wielder's deliberate attempts to ram it into the demon sword.

Due to the binding of the contract, the demonic sword automatically loses all its power when struck by other swords; its sharpness is completely gone.

Curses and high speed were useless; the opponent could only be repeatedly thrown high into the air and then fall back down.

"They're the real protagonists—" Ron, standing far away on the periphery, murmured with a tone of envy and regret.

He was right not to take the sword from the stone; these swords will choose their own masters.

From the moment they first went to Gringland in Warm Rain together, Harry and Neville were already recognized as "the right ones".

Now, the four warriors wielding the sword, just like in a chivalric romance, surround the demon king's weapon and gradually cut off his arms.

Although these four swords were forged by fairies, they were all forged a thousand years ago. At that time, the relationship between wizards and fairies was much more harmonious than it is now. In fact, these weapons were forged by fairies for Muggle heroes at the request of wizards.

It is imbued with the magic of ancient wizards, and has various inexplicable selection mechanisms. It seems that only those destined by fate can wield the sword and unleash its power, while at the same time, they will be led by the sword to their predetermined destiny.

However, this was not yet the end for the warriors. Their swords were divinely aided, possessing immense power, and they forced the demonic sword to retreat steadily, unable to withstand their attacks.

"Maybe I should explore other secret realms; perhaps there are still undiscovered swords there?" Ron thought to himself, lost in thought.

"Be careful! Don't get touched by that blade!" Krum warned with red eyes. Although the four of them had little interaction before, and even had some grudges, they were now working together to carefully deal with the terrifying demonic sword.

After all, the death of his comrade was still fresh in his mind, and there was no room for carelessness in the fight against this dangerous weapon.

For the first time, Harry fastened his flail to his waist and swung his sword with all his might. The earth cradled him as he lay on his back, moving him forward at high speed in an extremely low and strange position. This allowed him to dodge the blades while simultaneously striking the bottom of the magic sword.

The latter was sent spinning through the air by the blow, and then another sword, coated in mercury, stabbed in from the side, striking it back to the ground with a clang.

Levi summoned the still-incomplete miniature rock golem, wrapped it around himself like a stone man, and swung the Everburning Sword with tremendous force, once again sending the ferocious soldier flying.

Then Krum rode down on his broom, smashing the blade with the momentum of his charge.

Finally, with a loud bang, four precious swords struck the demonic sword from four directions.

This seemed to have reached the limit of the Emperor's Sword; it finally succumbed to the blows and broke in two.

A tremendous burst of energy erupted from the shattered sword, blowing the four warriors far away.

The broken front half of the sword fell onto the ruined ground, turning into dark red molten metal, while the remaining half, still attached to the hilt, trembled, wanting to fly back to its master.

"Stop him!"

But everyone was too far away. Even though the demon sword was broken, its remaining power was not something that could be stopped by some insignificant spells.

Adam was the fastest; his back thrusters were at full power the moment he hit the target, creating a sonic boom in the air as he fearlessly blocked the path above the Demon Sword.

Numerous tiny, densely packed missiles flew out from his shoulder; this was his only kinetic energy weapon, and it took a long time to replenish it each time it was used.

The Broken Sword, like a ferocious wolf making a desperate last stand, charged towards Adam with its last red light. No, it didn't intend to kill Adam, but rather to bypass him and fly directly to the Holy Grail.

Boom! Explosions erupted continuously on the broken sword, but they only had a slight effect in slowing down the explosion. The demonic sword flew past the little robot's face at an astonishing speed, and the storm it generated cracked its artificial skin, revealing the metal structure inside.

Adam reacted just as quickly, his left hand flying out like a cannonball, just like when he tried to grab Hermione last time. This time, he precisely caught the hilt of the cursed sword as it brushed past him.

The alloy steel cable was quickly taut and straightened, and Adam, who was flying in the air relying on the jet engine, was almost pulled away.

He adjusted his flight mode in just 0.1 seconds, using full power to counteract the pull of the magic sword.

The creaking and groaning sounds came from the chains and the mechanical parts inside his body, but the robot, disregarding its own limits, continued to struggle with the demonic sword.

After being thwarted time and again, the spirited broken sword finally got angry. It suddenly turned around and, using Adam's pull, thrust back fiercely. The remaining blade pierced through Adam's chest with overwhelming force!

Krum was almost there on his broomstick, but it seemed too late.

Intricate gears sprang out from the boy's back, and the little robot actually looked pained, but he still manipulated his right hand, using the remaining blade of the broken cursed sword he was holding to stab at the hilt of the demonic sword.

"If you rely on operation—then, perhaps breaking the curse—can also—penetrate—" He could no longer speak coherently, and the speaker was also interfered with.

The Demon Sword also sensed the danger. It suddenly accelerated, shaking off Krum who was rushing over, and flew towards the Greater Grail with Adam's pierced body in its wake.

Above the Blood Lake, Lanlock II stood suspended in mid-air, while on the silver throne beside him sat the lifeless First Emperor.

"The Holy Grail is almost full again." He looked up at the falling rain of curses, his voice becoming low.

"Fairies are still no match for humans, as evidenced by countless rebellions throughout history."

He lowered his bloodshot eyes: "Even your father, who was worshipped as the God-Emperor, was defeated by Grindelwald—though you don't look too good either."

He looked at the Dark Lord with a cold smile.

"However, the battle for the chance to make a wish is not over yet." He shook the scales in his hand, and half of the scales spun on the tray.

"Even if you kill me, who will get the chance to make a wish?" His eyes darted between the witch and the white-haired old man.

"Have you ever fantasized about what you would wish for after defeating the demons?"

He slowly posed the question, as if disregarding his own life and death, using the simplest of schemes to provoke the two most powerful wizards of humanity.

"This is a chance to have any wish granted, and there's only one chance—"

The golden moon shone brightly, but Hermione remained unmoved.

But Grindelwald, deeply troubled by the impending doom, has an inexplicable mental state.
