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

Chapter 461 The Dark Lord's Most Baffled Moment Ever! Grindelwald: What's the current situation? Ethan: Attacking Death!

Gellert Grindelwald?!

The moment the name was uttered, all the Aurors stared in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief!

They stared in disbelief at the figure slowly approaching.

The eerie blue flames illuminated his aged face, reflecting in his cold eyes.

They trudged through the black mud that wailed in agony, without pausing for a moment.

"Grindelwald, is that Grindelwald?!"

"That Dark Lord who led the Saints and started the First Wizarding War?! Wasn't he imprisoned in Nurmengard?!"

"Why are they here? Why does Grindelwald know Ethan? They're from completely different eras!!"

Everyone froze in place, some even beginning to wonder if this absurd and bizarre scene was an illusion!

Are the first and second Dark Lords "reunited"?

Even the most unscrupulous newspaper, the Daily Prophet, wouldn't dare write something like this!

Grindelwald stopped in front of Ethan.

With one black and one white heterochromatic eye, she looked at the boy, who was almost unchanged from their first meeting, and the only one in decades.

Time changed his beliefs, eroded his fighting spirit, and took away his youth and health.

However, the decades seem to have left no trace on this black-haired boy.

...Or, for him, it was just a fleeting moment.

"Thank you for this generous gift, Mr. Ethan Vincent," Grindelwald said in a deep voice, his tone unconsciously respectful. "It has shown me that there are still stubborn fools these days."

Grindelwald refers to André Auror from Germany.

Despite being his own followers, his tone was cold and ruthless.

He raised his eyes, glancing at the colossal, serpentine structure atop Hogwarts Castle, and said calmly, "What's the current situation? Have you bred some kind of alien monster?"

Ethan: "Oh, that's Death."

Grindelwald:

...?

He elegantly cleaned his ear and politely asked, "Excuse me, I'm getting old, and my hearing isn't very good. Could you please say it again?"

Ethan: "That's Death. We have to fight Death. Now Death wants to destroy Hogwarts."

Grindelwald: "

'

A crack appeared in the elegant old man's expression.

His mouth was slightly open as he stared blankly at Ethan.

It felt like a hundred giant monsters were running rampant in my mind!

Are you kidding me?

Is this the "bright future" you were talking about? It looks like the world is about to end!

"This is precisely the struggle that must be made for a bright and beautiful future."

Ethan said firmly.

Then, stroking his chin, he slowly said, "Besides... it's all to save Mr. Dumbledore from the clutches of death. After all, in his original destiny, Dumbledore was supposed to die at the end of this term."

When I heard the name "Dumbledore".

As if triggering some keyword, Grindelwald's expression immediately became solemn!

"I'll take control of the outer perimeter. You can focus on the castle and fight that so-called Grim Reaper!"

Grindelwald immediately spoke up.

With a wave of the wand, azure flames swirled across the field like silk!

【Aaaaaah—!!】

The black mud was constantly burned, emitting mournful howls, its body twisting and struggling in the flames like a ghost!

But she was no longer able to get entangled with Ethan.

Upon seeing this.

Ethan's eyes lit up, and he gave Grindelwald an appreciative look.

Like two good buddies, he patted the old man's withered shoulder and said, "Very good. The organization hasn't trained you in vain; this place is now in your hands!"

Grindelwald: "

""

So the saints have become your backup force?

"Ha, still the same as before, choking people to death without any remorse."

Grindelwald smiled helplessly, looking at the spirited Ethan, as if he were seeing his younger self.

A sense of nostalgia and respect rose in his eyes.

However... what's different from me is that the other person's mind is always as clear as a mirror.

Never hide anything.

On the path you have chosen, move forward firmly and without hesitation.

"It's really...somewhat enviable."

Grindelwald murmured, watching Ethan open the portal, and sighed almost imperceptibly.

A "genius" who appears only once in a century, no, a millennium.

He is several times stronger than him, or that bald terrorist!

Grindelwald sighed for two seconds.

He turned his head and glanced sideways at the stunned Aurors.

His tone returned to its arrogant state as he commanded, "Why aren't you moving? Do you intend to stand here all night?"

"oh oh!"

The Aurors then realized what was happening and hurriedly raised their wands to help Grindelwald cast spells.

They exchanged a shocked look.

"...Ethan can even control the Dark Lord! My God, is there anything he can't do?"

"They must have had a friendly exchange."

"Why are you calling me Ethan! That's rude! You should call me the great Vincent, or 'Mr. Lamp'!"

"Good heavens, the light's already off?"

They were just about to ask their captain, Connie Rozier, for her opinion.

The latter stared at Ethan, his eyes shining with intense brilliance!

Her cheeks flushed, she murmured, "Oh, oh! Even the Dark Lord is under your control and in your plans? Unbelievable, so powerful, so amazing!"

"This is justice! This is the light of our time! I swear to serve you to the death!!"

Everyone:

'

'

They looked at their captain, who resembled a fanatic, and thought to themselves:

It’s over.

The Rozier family bloodline has finally proven its worth.

"...The British Ministry of Magic, that's pretty much it."

"An Auror said with a sigh."

Above Hogwarts.

The Grim Reaper, incarnate, gazed at the eerie blue flames burning fiercely across the plains, feeling a surge of anger rising within him!

His facial features immediately became distorted and deformed!

Why?! How could this happen?!

As I just said, Ethan is isolated and helpless; no one but himself can fight against him.

Then, out of nowhere, a Dark Lord appeared!

Is there no justice left?!

Don't even think about getting in my way!!

The Grim Reaper roared and extended his scale-covered claws toward Ethan, the force of which was like a mountain collapsing!

The air was compressed instantly, and the pitch-black Anywhere Door seemed to be squeezed, with the door frame bending inward and the passage experiencing unstable fluctuations!

Death curled his lips into a smile, his orange-yellow vertical pupils filled with intense malice.

Just watch as I kill your companions one by one.

Just then.

"Whoosh!"

A bright, silvery-white full moon suddenly shone from the castle's dome!

It emitted a cool moonlight, and although it seemed light, it actually flew towards the snake's body at an extremely fast speed!

Like a falling meteorite, it exploded the moment it touched the black and green scales!

"boom!!"

The massive shockwave resembled a cosmic explosion, with countless fragments of starlight, shrouded in a veil of white light, sweeping outwards from the snake's body!

Followed by.

"Chirp!!"

A loud and clear cry soared into the sky right before our eyes!

Like rising fireworks, its fiery red form pierced the darkness, burning a blazing cloud of fire in the night!

The trapped Golden Crow was rescued. The two divine birds, one large and one small, together illuminated the night sky with a golden and red hue, making it almost as bright as day!

That is...

'

Grindelwald stared at the circling phoenix, his pupils contracting.

As if spring water had suddenly gushed forth from the parched earth, he heard his heart beating again after a long time.

...So, why is the phoenix mixed up with that golden bird?

"ah!

"

The Aurors gasped in surprise, for some reason, the dark blue flame suddenly swelled up a size.

【Gua! !】

Under the relentless bombardment, the embodiment of death cried out in pain, his eyes wide with rage!

The seemingly gentle moonlight shattered its scales, chilling it to the bone, and even freezing the magic of the sleeve for a moment!

The resonance between the phoenix and the golden crow felt more like a constraint, trapping its sharp claws.

[This is high-level magic?! No, how is this possible?!]

Is there another high-ranking person here?!

The embodiment of death stared wide-eyed, filled with shock and rage.

For a moment, I felt that this small school was full of hidden talents!

A sense of confusion arose within me.

Is this still the mortal realm? Where did they get Him?

Several figures stood in the blown-open castle dome!

Leading the group is Luna Lovegood, Ravenclaw's "madwoman" and "hereditary moon magician"!

The other one is Albus Dumbledore, the former headmaster of Hogwarts who single-handedly defeated three Dark Lords and knocked down the first two, and who can command phoenixes!

Behind them were Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout.

Each of them gripped a magic wand, their bodies enveloped in a shimmering magical glow.

Despite his face being filled with tension and instinctive fear.

But they still stood firm, unwavering before death!

"Don't even think about getting in Ethan's way!"

Luna raised her wand, pointing it directly at the enormous and terrifying serpent's body.

His blue eyes sparkled, gleaming with tiny, crystalline lights.

Her voice was clear and calm, yet it contained an undeniable power!

"Hogwarts may be destroyed, but not today."

Dumbledore said calmly.

His face hardened, his beard and hair flew wildly, and his once kind and gentle face now exuded a powerful sense of majesty!

far away.

Ethan's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

...This is the Hogwarts he's trying to protect.

The first home that accepted him.

Ethan didn't delay, taking advantage of the moment when the Grim Reaper incarnate was suppressed.

Lift your foot and step through the Anywhere Door!

"Whoosh!"

The door slammed shut, and the dark passageway swallowed Ethan's figure.

The next second, a terrifying force poured down!

Like a tremendous force, it crushed the upright door frame in half!

—However, at this point.

Ethan's figure had already disappeared into the dark passageway.

They've been teleported to another location.

【roar-!!!】

Death roared, his eyes bloodshot, he was almost driven mad with rage!

Damn it, those overconfident humans!!!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He furiously slammed his fists into the castle's protective shield, and the defensive barrier composed of countless of the best wizards shattered almost instantly.

If it weren't for the curse that Ethan initially drew.

Now, Hogwarts is probably a ruin, with no one left alive.

Ethan didn't teleport to the dome; he faced Death directly.

No one knew where he went, but no one thought he would run away.

...It wasn't out of trust in Ethan's character.

It was Khorne, the Great Demon King, who would never miss such a "feast".

"We must hold on while Ethan is preparing."

"Dumbledore said in a deep voice."

His eyes darted slightly, glancing at the distant, raging blue flames, a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Finally, a helpless smile appeared on his face as he rubbed his fingers together in his pocket, holding the token that represented their former blood oath.

"Ethan really is... capable of surprising you at any moment."

"Are you waiting for your savior? Ha! I will crush you, and that damned brat, into a pulp..." Death, in his guise, said hoarsely. "This is your destined fate!!"

His response was a powerful full moon and unwavering spells!

Never again will I submit to the so-called "God" or to the so-called predetermined fate!

Even ordinary people can have the courage to resist!

"boom!"

The shock of the explosion reverberated throughout the entire Hogwarts!

Ethan fell through the Anywhere Door and jumped into a cloud of steaming heat.

"Bang!"

He casually brushed aside a spell, raised his azure eyes, and looked at the terrified old professor in front of him.

"Yes, it's you, Mr. Vincent..."

Slughorn paused for two seconds, then let out a sigh of relief and lowered his wand.

I thought it was a "7"

"Let's not talk about that." Ethan strode forward, his imposing figure looming over the old professor. "Is the healing potion for the Blood Curse Orcs ready?"

Only a healing potion can save Nagini from her death.

Only then can we create an unexpected and crucial breakthrough in the face of death's siege!

"Just... just one last step...!"

Slughorn stammered, pointing to the huge crucible beside him.

The failed waste materials piled up like mountains to the side.

There's not enough time.

If this achievement were made public, those wizards who conduct research would all personally pull a carriage to invite Slughorn to sit as the guest of honor!

They exclaimed that Ravenclaw's arrival meant the Potions world was saved!

However, this is at Hogwarts, a place teeming with talented individuals.

It is also a critical moment of crisis.

Ethan must obtain the complete Blood Curse Potion.

"We just need one more ingredient!"

Seeing Ethan frown, Slughorn quickly pointed to the cabinet next to him.

Various bottles and jars of different colors are neatly arranged on top.

"I eventually narrowed it down to seven materials, but only one of them was the correct answer."

If he has enough time, he can try them one by one.

But now, he must succeed on his first try!

"if..

'

The old professor rubbed his robes, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he looked up at Ethan and said hoarsely, "If you can let me use the Ravenclaw crown one more time, I think I'll get the right answer!"

Upon hearing this...

Ethan turned his head to look.

In the eyes of this walrus-like, obese old professor (who had lost a lot of weight), I saw a glimmer of longing.

It was remarkably similar to the look of madness for the crown that Miss Helena described!
