Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

"Hmm, the principle of magic is similar to the age limit I set at the Goblet of Fire last year."

Dumbledore stroked his beard, studied the barrier, and spoke slowly.

"There are two ways: either tear it apart directly, or disguise ourselves and make the barrier think we have the blood of Gaunt."

Dumbledore looked at Kevin and continued, "Tearing apart the barrier is simple, but if it was left by Voldemort, he will sense it and may come to stop us."

After listening, Kevin replied without hesitation, "Then tear it apart. I'm not afraid at all."

Dumbledore smiled but did not refute.

If he were alone, he would probably try to find a way to bypass the barrier.

Although he wasn't afraid of Voldemort, he worried that Voldemort might discover his movements and come to take away any Horcruxes that might be hidden there.

However, with Kevin by their side now, if Voldemort dares to come, they dare to keep him here and destroy his Horcruxes right in front of him.

With this thought in mind, Dumbledore, for once, took out his wand, red light flashing at the tip, and with a single stroke, he began to draw it.

The barrier in front of them was like a piece of paper, torn open.

Meanwhile, Voldemort, far away at Malfoy Manor, suddenly opened his eyes and gazed in the direction of young Hangleton.

The next moment, he Apparated and disappeared from the spot.

......

Although the old house in Gaunt is dilapidated, some of its former decorations can still be seen.

Most of them are Slytherin-themed decorations filled with snake elements.

The last time I saw this kind of decoration was at the Order of the Phoenix, the former Black mansion.

It's not surprising that the Gaunt family, as direct descendants of Slytherin, have these traits.

What really intrigued Kevin was that, not only the Black family, but most families with pure-blood faith would decorate their homes like snake dens, dark and damp.

And they were even proud of it, as if Slytherin had some connection to them.

Are there no other figures in the wizarding world worthy of admiration?

Dumbledore and Kevin strolled around as if they were in their own backyard, stopping and talking as they went.

"Hmm, another barrier."

After entering, Dumbledore broke through two more barriers and one seal.

It's obvious that the level of protection left here is excessive.

It seems Dumbledore's prediction was correct; Voldemort may very well have also hidden a Horcrux here.

"Hmm? It seems the homeowner has returned."

Just as Dumbledore was about to continue breaking down the barrier, he paused, slowly turned around, and looked at the figure already standing in the lobby of the old house.

And there was that terrifying giant python at his feet.

The newcomers were Voldemort and the giant python named Nagini.

"Long time no see, Dumbledore, and Kevin too."

Voldemort, like a gentleman, greeted the two with an elegant smile.

"It has indeed been a long time, Tom."

Dumbledore, wand in hand, slowly descended the steps and stood before Voldemort.

Kevin had somehow acquired a crowbar.

Although he often mocked Voldemort, he never dared to underestimate him.

"I thought we'd have to wait until the final battle to see you show your face."

Kevin slowly walked down the steps to Dumbledore's side and said with a smile.

"Hehe, since you've all come to my turf as guests, how could I not come back and show you some hospitality?"

As he spoke, he simply waved his hand, and a series of creaking sounds emanated from the dimly lit old house.

Gradually, countless shadowy corpses emerged from the darkness, surrounding the two of them.

As more and more corpses appeared, only the spot where they stood remained in the old house.

Even the dilapidated walls of the old house were covered with corpses, their empty eye sockets staring at Dumbledore and Kevin, but they only surrounded them without making any other moves.

Soon, the air became quiet.

Voldemort stood amidst the horde of Infernals, his smile gradually fading, his expression turning serious as he stared at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked at Voldemort seriously, but neither of them made the first move.

Kevin stared at the giant python lurking at the feet of the Yin Corpse.

The opportunity to test whether that snake is a Horcrux is right in front of us.

"Gah!"

A strange bird call suddenly rang out.

next moment.

With a deafening boom, a bolt of lightning struck the Gaunt old house directly.

A sudden storm raged across the area, tearing off the rooftops.

At the heart of the storm, Dumbledore and Voldemort attacked simultaneously, their red and green spells clashing, creating a terrifying energy tremor in the center. An immense pressure emanated from the surrounding area, preventing anyone from getting close.

Kevin, who had already transformed into a white tiger, instantly wiped out all the Yin corpses around him. The power of lightning surged out continuously, and except for himself and Dumbledore around him, the lightning indiscriminately swept across the entire area, setting the forest around the old house ablaze.

Voldemort seemed completely unsurprised by Kevin's transformation into a white tiger.

Meanwhile, the residents of Little Hangleton, far outside the forest, discovered the catastrophic scene in the woods and fled in terror in that direction.

The lightning bolts failed to strike Voldemort; whenever a bolt approached, it seemed to dodge Voldemort, unable to hit him.

The giant python ignored all the lightning and charged straight at Kevin, its speed unlike that of an ordinary python.

At this point, Kevin was basically certain that the snake was one of the Horcruxes.

However, Kevin completely ignored the snake, his body wreathed in wind and lightning, and directly rushed into the area where Dumbledore and Voldemort were exchanging spells. He arrived behind Voldemort and struck out with a claw.

Voldemort was instantly sent flying like a rag doll by that terrifying blow, crashing through the wall and flying into the forest.

Dumbledore didn't care at all that the one-on-one duel had been interrupted. He immediately stopped the spell and waved his wand again.

Giant steel nails appeared out of thin air and pierced directly into Nagini's body.

However, it still couldn't penetrate Nagini's body.

Dumbledore acted decisively, manipulating the nails to cross each other and drive them into the ground at various angles, firmly locking Nagini to the ground.

"Hahaha!! Kevin!! I knew you were a despicable person without any martial virtue!!"

At that moment, Voldemort's loud laughter echoed through the forest, his tone filled with madness. He seemed unharmed by Kevin's attack.

Voldemort had long ago developed a defensive spell that did not protect against magic attacks but was specifically designed to protect against physical attacks in order to deal with Kevin, which is why the attack just now did not cause him any harm.

The next moment, several terrifying fire tornadoes carrying countless black lightning bolts rose from the ground.

At the same time, thunder raged all around, even more exaggerated than the scene Kevin had just created, as if the world had changed dramatically.

This time, not only the residents of Little Hangleton, but even people from further afield discovered the natural disaster.

Dumbledore looked at the spell that caused the world to change color, but his expression did not change much.

Kevin, even more stubborn, unleashed a surge of wind and thunder from his body and plunged headlong into the fire tornado, forcefully smashing it apart with his ferocious power.

Voldemort suddenly Apparated and appeared not far from Kevin, unleashing a Killing Curse.

But what followed was Dumbledore's spell, which directly blocked Voldemort's attack.

The other fire dragons continued to sweep across the land, but they could not get close to Dumbledore and Voldemort.

Each of their spells clashing caused a tremor in space; it was a clash of pure magical power.

Kevin watched as the fire tornadoes rapidly moved out of the forest, heading straight for Little Hangton. Without hesitation, he used the power of wind and thunder to disperse all the fire tornadoes.

He also transformed back into human form from his white tiger form.

To be honest, the white tiger form is not as powerful as the human form.

Not only are their attack methods limited, but they also consume a great deal of energy.

It's decent for clearing out large areas of trash, but it's clearly not enough to deal with a boss like Voldemort.

Looking back at the battlefield between Dumbledore and Voldemort.

Their spells kept colliding.

Even a tiny bit of magic can plow a hole in the ground.

However, neither of them seemed to be using their full strength, appearing quite relaxed.
