Hogwarts: Starting as a Card Maker from a Failed Art Student

Chapter 460 Who said Ethan was fighting alone? The Dark Lord makes his grand entrance!

"Merlin! What kind of monster is this?!"

The Aurors retreated in terror, staring in shock at the thick black mist that appeared before them like a collapsing mountain.

Suddenly, someone noticed something and exclaimed in surprise, "Look! Those Death Eaters!!"

The Death Eaters who had been knocked to the ground were swallowed up by the black mist, and the crunching sound of bones being crushed could be heard.

Then, the black mist opened its new orange-yellow vertical pupils and new terrifying fangs.

He chuckled and looked down at them.

"This...this is definitely not just the power of dark magic..."

'

An Auror, his eyes bloodshot, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "Could this be the Grim Reaper Ethan spoke of?!"

Does Death really exist?!

Upon hearing this...

Fenrir Greyback, the leader of the Black Mist, grinned, revealing his countless mouths, and said in a hoarse voice:

【Foolish mortals, are you only now realizing the existence of a great god? Or... are you simply unwilling to acknowledge it?】

As a Death Eater who had experienced the Voldemort Wars, he knew all too well the Ministry of Magic's ability to whitewash the truth.

Yes, as the chosen one, I received the blessing of Death, which granted me unparalleled power!

A surge of black mist erupted, from which countless wolf howls rose, like a bone-chilling wind sweeping across a graveyard.

""

The Aurors pursed their lips, their eyes widened, and their faces turned ashen, looking extremely ugly.

I never imagined that Ethan had been telling the truth all along.

Death truly exists and aids the evil side, with the aim of causing rivers of blood to flow across the world.

As if to achieve some kind of KPI, they began to actively create killings.

"My God, what are we doing? Ethan is right, he's truly thinking of the wizarding world, he's standing up against an incredibly powerful enemy!"

"All that chaos, those twisted and dark paintings, the rebellious organizations. And the bombing of Gringotts, Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic... usurping, seizing the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts, it was all for..."

""

Auror couldn't continue speaking, and his expression became strange.

Why does it seem like Ethan is really enjoying himself?

In short, he doesn't seem like a good person.

The struggle against death is more like a battle of wits between two thieves.

Tonight, I will kill Ethan Vincent, obeying the will of Death, and put everything back on track!

Fenrir roared.

You're just appetizers, hehehe, I'll use my boiling blood to stain every inch of Hogwarts!

talking.

The black mist suddenly billowed up!

Like a flood, countless orange-yellow vertical pupils and countless terrifying mouths surged towards them!

"Quickly, quickly set up a protective barrier!"

"Damn it! The barrier won't even last a few seconds!"

"Let the students run first!"

Screams, roars, and cries of alarm.

Connie stood amidst the chaotic current, her beautiful eyes gazing up at the engulfing black mist, her face remaining calm and resolute.

A hint of wild anticipation even surfaced.

"Lord Vincent, this is the moment you've been waiting for. Please let me witness your dazzling brilliance once more!"

The words fell.

As if responding to her call, a dazzling golden light, like the dawn piercing through the night, shot into the black mist!

"Chirp!"

A clear and melodious cry rang out, drowning out the eerie wolf howls, and a sense of clarity rippled through everyone's minds!

【roar!】

Fenrir let out a miserable scream as a large chunk of its body was instantly snatched away by the dazzling golden light!

"This is my favorite spell—flocks of birds."

A clear voice came from behind the crowd.

Connie turned her head excitedly, looking up at the black-haired youth who was walking slowly towards her with utmost piety and trust.

I don't know when.

Ethan had already put on that pure white mask.

It's as if to show that private matters are over, and from now on, it's all about "business" without any mercy.

His entire being exuded an aura of coldness and oppressive power that made people want to bow down in worship.

Behind the pure white mask, diamond-blue eyes stared emotionlessly at the black mist wolf monster.

He raised the gilded staff that his magic wand had transformed into, and said slowly, "Fools, you are only worth as firewood."

Every gift of fate comes with a price tag in secret... which will make you vomit it all up, bone and all.

"You've finally made your move, Ethan Vincent!" Fenrir grinned, completely unconcerned about his torn body. "Overestimating yourself, daring to defy a god. After you die, you'll see who the real fool is!"

【roar-!!】

With a roar, countless mouths lunged at Ethan!

That terrifying aura made everyone tremble with fear!

Merlin! The struggle between inhumans is truly terrifying!!

"snort."

Looking at the meat grinder-like fangs, Ethan let out a soft snort.

He raised his hand, holding a glittering golden fruit in his palm.

One of the remnants of the Grim Reaper from Nagini, the Fruit of Light.

"The black goat cub was eaten. The other party clearly has a special ability to attack living beings or physical entities, just like a real gray wolf."

"In that case, let's just use pure magic."

Ethan grasped the Light Fruit, and instantly, an incomparably powerful magical force poured into his body!

"Haa~"

Ethan squinted, couldn't help but sigh, and felt a surge of satisfaction and hunger rising within him.

The veins were stained gold, showing through the skin, causing a rash of fine goosebumps to appear.

Just as a person consumed by the remnants of death would crave his flesh and blood.

He, too, craved such a high concentration of magic!

"6

"...One strike is enough to deal with a wolf."

"boom--!"

The tide of black fog engulfed Ethan.

A gurgling chewing sound rang out, like a wild beast greedily gnawing on a hard bone.

The Aurors and students had already hurriedly retreated to the side when Ethan appeared.

At this moment, looking at this huge, writhing black mist, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety!

"Could it be... that Ethan has been defeated just like that?"

"Impossible! Ethan is the man who's going to destroy the world!"

"But that monster possesses the power of death..."

""

Hogwarts.

Almost no students were willing to stay quietly in the auditorium.

Anxious faces pressed against the windows, gazing at the deathly still battlefield, their hearts burning with urgency.

"Ethan will be alright, Ethan will be alright... Merlin, you certainly don't want Ethan to go to your place, do you?"

Hermione clasped her hands together, muttering a prayer or, more accurately, a "threat."

Just then.

Luna suddenly spoke up: "They're here."

Hermione paused, then turned to look into Luna's resolute and composed blue eyes.

Following her gaze, I looked outside.

next second.

"Pfft."

The writhing black mist suddenly solidified, piling up on the ground like asphalt.

A faint golden light seeped out from the black mist.

Immediately afterwards!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

Like countless rays of sunlight piercing through the fog, arrow-like golden light pierced out more and more from the black mist!

"6

Chirp!

A loud and high-pitched cry suddenly burst forth!

Soaring into the sky together was the dazzling light that spread out!

As if bursting from a shell, the black mist shattered with a whooshing sound, flowing across the ground like a smashed watermelon.

A golden bird, almost half the size of Hogwarts Castle, soared into the sky from the black mist!

Like the rising sun, it illuminated the thick night and reflected in everyone's eyes!

Beautiful, powerful, and incredibly awe-inspiring.

Even using every beautiful word in the world to describe it would not be an exaggeration.

"A rampaging Gorgon..." Ron's eyes widened, his mouth agape in disbelief. "To kill wolves, Ethan's gone and launched a nuclear bomb..."

"7

Hermione collapsed to the ground, gazing up at the golden light, feeling almost bursting into tears.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

A sudden change has occurred!

Title: The Golden Crow Obscures the Sun

[Rank: Tier 3 - Golden Legend]

[Type: One-time magic]

[Effect: Absorbed a portion of the power from the remnants of Death, pushing "Flock of Birds" to its peak. Surely, no one will forget this glorious moment.]

【Lamp Door (Hands Together)】

Congratulations! You have successfully defeated Fenrir, the big and wicked wolf and henchman of Death!

[Soul Fusion Increased by 0.8%]

They gave 0.8% right away!

Ethan's eyes lit up.

With a "whoosh".

An invisible force lifted his body, causing him to comfortably squint his eyes slightly.

"Chirp—"

'

The golden sun lingered freely in the sky, scattering its rays like raindrops.

"The soul fusion rate has reached 98.16%... Just one more point is needed to reach 100%!"

Ethan clenched his fists, his heart pounding with emotion.

He had a premonition.

This battle might just allow him to reach the maximum score in one fell swoop!

"Hehehe, as expected, anything related to death is very exploitable~ Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Fenrir."

Ethan narrowed his eyes and put away the Light Fruit, which still had most of its energy left.

He looked down at the black chunks of flesh scattered all over the ground.

Unlike his joyful mood.

the other side.

The Aurors were all dumbfounded.

"That's it? That's all? It's that simple?"

"Simple? If you could launch a nuclear missile, you could easily solve everything."

"Merlin's socks... Could this boy really be Merlin reincarnated? He can actually contend with a god!"

The Aurors were invigorated.

When I stood on the same side as Ethan, I realized how wonderful it felt to be carried along!

Connie excitedly stepped forward, wanting to congratulate Ethan on his victory once again.

But at this moment...

"boom!"

A huge explosion suddenly came from the direction of Hogwarts!

Everyone turned around in astonishment, only to see bricks and stones flying everywhere, and a claw covered in scales grabbing the castle's dome from above!

[Hissing, hissing...]

An enormous snake head followed closely behind.

Hissing and flicking its tongue, it stared at the "insects" on the ground with a mixture of pleasure and malice in its terrifying, lantern-like vertical pupils.

It's obvious at a glance.

All protective barriers are of no use to him.

I've come to find you... you overconfident mortal, Ethan Vincent...!

A strange and hoarse voice echoed through the desolate wilderness.

Some Aurors with weak willpower or overly high inspiration immediately let out a painful scream and knelt down.

Even Connie turned pale and trembled as she said, "This...this is 'Death'?"

"No."

Ethan's clear voice rang out as he looked up at the enormous snake body and said softly, "This is nothing more than the incarnation of death."

In spiritual vision.

It can be clearly seen that, in order to compensate for his severely damaged vision, the Grim Reaper incarnate this time has incorporated the power of a snake.

even..

"Is there a part about Nagini?"

Ethan raised an eyebrow.

Within his azure eyes, the embodiment of death, swirled a trace of magic originating from the same source as Nagini.

If Nagini could be completely freed from Death's control...

"Perhaps we can kill this incarnation of death right here!"

"Let the Grim Reaper himself take the field!"

Ethan's eyes burned with a wild and excited light.

This time, he would never let Him escape again!

Look at you, your excitement and joy are practically written all over your face...

The Grim Reaper incarnate spoke slowly, revealing a deep-seated malice.

Due to severe erosion, the voice could no longer be distinguished as male or female, and it almost completely lost its original appearance.

What makes you different from me?

[You say it all, but actually you enjoy it too... Admit it, everything you do is just a pursuit of extreme excitement and chaos.]

After all, only in this way can you create the perfect painting in your mind, right?

""

Ethan remained silent.

High in the sky, the golden bird cried out angrily and flew towards the incarnation of death like a streak of light!

It tore through the black mist, but in the end, it was trapped in place by the increasingly dense and viscous evil power, struggling desperately.

Ethan lifted his foot to step forward.

A clump of sticky black mud suddenly wrapped around his ankle!

Don't even think about it... Don't even think about running away...

Fenrir, the black mist wolf who had been smashed into mincemeat, shakily rose to his feet again with the power of death.

Greedily and thirstily sucking the blood from the soil, it enveloped the field like a net.

The vertical pupils shattered, filled with chaos and fear.

Like puppets on strings, they are controlled by the god who governs death, experiencing unimaginable pain and torment.

Countless mouths made sounds at the same time:

No, don't try to run away... Gaaaa... Don't try to run away...

"Oh dear," Ethan raised an eyebrow, mercilessly popping the mud off his ankle, "What did I tell you? Every gift comes at a price."

They promised to give me power, but they didn't say what I would become after receiving it.

Simultaneously.

Ethan also noticed that his opponent had become harder to kill.

After all, in theory, it is already "dead".

"Time is of the essence, and I don't want to waste too much time on this guy."

Ethan glanced back at Hogwarts, his brow furrowing slightly.

Since no one else can handle this monster, Hogwarts has no choice but to hold it off for a while.

Upon seeing this.

The Grim Reaper smirked triumphantly, his crimson tongue rubbing against his scales.

Although we were temporarily defeated last time, we also saw that Ethan's biggest weakness was that he was the only high-level combatant!

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, fate had never arranged for this to happen. The strongest enemy this world faced should have been just an ordinary human being who studied dark magic.

Even if it's just one step away, it could have saved us from death.

But it wasn't much better.

Who would have thought?

Suddenly, "Ethan Vincent" appeared out of nowhere.

They saved some people who were supposed to die, instantly maxing out the world's difficulty.

This means that normal wizards and normal humans are completely unable to cope with his power.

The Grim Reaper, his eyes dark and sinister, slowly sneered:

What a pity, we could have shared the world's Omega and wielded supreme power...

]

But now, you're left fighting alone, watching those fragile lives slip away before your eyes once more...

Ha, all you've done is a wasted effort. Nobody cares.

"Who said that kid was fighting alone?"

Sudden.

An old yet powerful voice rang out from under the night sky!

Immediately afterwards, a dark blue flame, like a rising curtain, instantly pounced on the black mud on the ground!

It burned, emitting mournful howls!

【Aaaaaaah, fire! It's fire!】

Ethan's eyes suddenly lit up; a flash of inspiration struck him!

Yes! Wild animals are generally afraid of fire!

It was because his Cerberus was too evil, burning more and more fiercely, that I didn't think of it for a moment.

【who?!】

The Grim Reaper whirled around, his vertical pupils shrinking to needle-like shapes, his expression a mixture of shock and rage as he glared in the direction from which the sound came.

A thin, haggard old man with white hair and beard was seen walking slowly across the flames.

The wind tousled his white hair, and in his heterochromatic eyes, one black and one white, was reflected the raging, dark blue flames.

Even though the years have worn down his body and spirit.

But that deep-seated majesty still sent chills down the spines of the Aurors!

"Thump."

He planted his cane on the ground, his eagle-like gaze fixed intently on Ethan.

He chuckled and said hoarsely, "I knew it, I've had this ominous feeling lately."

Ethan smiled, opened his arms, and said, "Welcome."

"Mr. Gellert Grindelwald!"
