The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 255 The Gloom Dissipates

The blue whale, riding the waves and bathed in brilliant blue light, swam towards the fallen raven.

The Fallen Raven sensed a deadly threat from the blue whale and let out a series of sharp, piercing screams.

The walking corpses on the ground also roared in the same way, and wisps of black smoke rose from their bodies, which gathered together to form small patches of black mist.

"The embodiment of dark power!"

Moriarty frowned. The fact that the wizards were being further corrupted by dark forces was not good news.

The corrupt crows must be eradicated as soon as possible!

Moriarty gripped the Slytherin staff and hooked it upwards, creating a wave hundreds of meters high.

The blue whale leaped from the crest of the wave, its gentle aura like the ocean that embraces all things, encompassing darkness and softening the passage of time.

The blue whale leaped into the air and crashed straight into the fallen raven. The ghostly fire in the fallen raven's eye sockets grew eerily larger, and it flapped its wings and flew away over the blue whale's head.

The blue whale missed its target and fell from beneath the fallen raven, which cawed loudly.

The call carried a smug tone, as if mocking the blue whale's foolishness.

However, as the blue whale descended, its shape and outline gradually blurred, and with a "splash," it turned into clear, bright seawater!

Moriarty stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the Fallen Raven from afar.

The seawater transformed into a giant blue hand, flying towards the smug, fallen raven. The fallen raven realized something was wrong and tried to escape, but it was too late.

A large hand grabbed one of the fallen crow's legs; the leg had no flesh, only dry bones.

The fallen raven flapped its wings and struggled violently, cawing loudly, trying to break free from the large hand.

A blue light flashed, and the giant hand transformed into a blue whale.

The blue whale held the fallen raven's leg bone in its mouth, and swirling black smoke rose from the bone, making a hissing sound as it corroded.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The blue whale exhaled a series of bubbles, which shimmered with a bright blue light.

The bubbles possess a magical protective effect, safeguarding the blue whale's mouth from corrosion.

Some flew to the ground, grew larger and longer above the walking dead's heads, and slowly descended, trapping the walking dead inside.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!"

The colorful crows screeched as they flew toward the blue whale, using their long, hard beaks as weapons to pierce its body!

"Ugh! Ugh—"

"Ugh! Ugh—"

The blue whale emitted a cry, a beautiful, ethereal, and melodious tune that rippled outwards in concentric circles.

The colorful crow that was close to the blue whale was hit by the sound wave, writhing in pain before turning into a cloud of black smoke and dissolving in the water mist in the air.

Upon witnessing this, Diana exclaimed, "So that's why there are seven-colored crows in Japan! They're also manifestations of dark forces!"

She clung to Moriarty, using both her arms and legs, like a koala.

Moriarty created a bubble and sent Diana inside, where she floated in mid-air beside him.

Inside the bubble, Diana, like a little girl, curiously poked the inner wall of the bubble. Her fingertips were immediately enveloped in warmth, and a warm current spread from her fingers throughout her body.

"What magical bubbles! Is it a protective magic?" Diana smiled as she looked at Moriarty.

Moriarty stared at the fallen raven and said, "It's about protection, and it's also about purification. I want to use a different kind of magic to break through the darkness."

The gentleness of the sea is the best remedy for the wicked crow.

In mid-air, the blue whale bit the fallen raven's leg and turned its head to the side, pulling the fallen raven to the blue whale's side. The blue whale then spat out a huge crystal bubble and put the fallen raven inside.

The fallen raven cackled incessantly, but the water elemental magic gathered and transformed into azure seawater, filling it with bubbles.

The seawater surged and flowed, and the cries of the fallen crows faded from high to low until they fell silent, completely submerged as if sinking into the vast, tranquil depths of the sea.

The safe environment, tranquil atmosphere, and warm seawater make the deep sea feel like the forgiving embrace of the ocean goddess, soothing all sorrow and grief.

Black smoke continued to billow from the fallen raven's body, and gradually, the will-o'-the-wisps in its eye sockets went out.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions rang out, and the black gold coins shattered into powder, disappearing without a trace in the wind.

The zombies trapped in the bubbles let out unwilling roars, and the abnormalities in their body parts quickly returned to normal, but their eyes still shone with a scarlet ferocity.

"All signs indicate that the effect is very obvious!" Diana beamed with joy.

Moriarty nodded gently; the sea's benevolence and gentleness were surprisingly effective.

Unexpectedly, the third leg of the Fallen Raven seemed to have its own sentience, gathering a large amount of dark elemental magic on its claws and kicking the inner wall of the bubble!

"Bang!"

The bubble burst, and the Fallen Raven escaped.

"The dark forces have been weakened by more than half, yet they still have the power to resist! Perhaps the crows of Japan are protected by some kind of evil god."

Moriarty's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a single clenched fist, the seawater transformed into hundreds of waves that crashed down, drenching the Fallen Raven completely.

"roar!"

The Fallen Raven let out a muffled roar and plummeted toward the ground. Its third leg emitted a burst of black light, and dark power gathered once more. The Bone Raven's entire body was engulfed in ghostly blue flames!

The fire was unstoppable; fallen crows flew over the waves, creating waves of heat that evaporated them completely.

The fallen raven flapped its wings, and feathers fell like arrows, shooting towards the blue whale.

Each feather was as sharp as a dagger, gleaming with a cold light, and a sliver of black hung from the spikes at its tip.

An ominous and eerie atmosphere descended once more, and the sounds of lamentation and weeping suddenly rose, drowning out the sound of the flowing water.

Unable to contain her worry, Diana blurted out, "Be careful!"

A brilliant golden light flashed, and the fallen feather was completely burned away by a ball of golden heat.

"Fallen wizards not only need to be treated with kindness, but also need to be given a glimmer of hope."

Dumbledore's voice rang out from the stands, and Moriarty and Diana looked over.

The white wizard looked exhausted, but his eyes were sharp and bright. His voice was slightly hoarse, but full of energy.

"Wizards under this sky, no matter when, where, or what difficulties you encounter, even if it's a matter of life and death, please do not give up hope!"

Dumbledore's words seemed to be half chant and half sigh.

He raised his elder wand, aimed it at the fallen raven, and slowly said, "Hope Phoenix!"

Moriarty's eyes lit up as he felt Dumbledore's magic surge and converge, transforming into a brilliant beam of fire that shot into the sky through the Elder Wand.

Dumbledore exuded a chilling aura, and his robes billowed without wind.

The flames distorted in the air, accompanied by a clear and loud cry, as if being tempered and shaped by fire, and a beautiful golden phoenix flew out of the flames!

"Hope Phoenix".

Dumbledore muttered to himself, manipulating the phoenix to launch an attack on the fallen raven!

Taking advantage of the moment, the blue whale swung its massive tail, creating waves that continuously crashed against the fallen crow.

Soon, the three giant beasts were locked in a fierce battle.

Diana cheered on the blue whale and the phoenix.

Moriarty did not watch the battle. Gentle Blue Whale had already suppressed Fallen Raven, and with the help of Hope Phoenix, it was only a matter of time before Fallen Raven was defeated.

What Moriarty was particularly interested in was Dumbledore's method of getting rid of the dark forces, until he saw Dumbledore wearing a necklace with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, and he had a sudden realization.

Perhaps Dumbledore saw Grindelwald in his painful memories?

Perhaps swallowed by darkness, Dumbledore thought of Grindelwald?

In short, Dumbledore's method of getting rid of the dark forces is inseparable from Grindelwald.

Grindelwald was like a ray of light in the darkness, Dumbledore's last hope in his despair.

"boom!"

Brilliant sparks lit up the sky. Moriarty slowly raised his head, hoping that the phoenix would spew forth flames from its beak and chase after the fallen raven.

Seeing the Fallen Raven weakened by its defensive stance, Dumbledore swung his Elder Wand and unleashed, "Shatter to pieces!"

The Shattering Spell, gleaming brightly, swiftly streaked across the sky, as if splitting the night in two, and precisely struck the third leg of the Fallen Raven.

The third crow's leg exploded with a "bang," and the fallen crow let out a miserable cry.

Moriarty flew higher into the sky, raised his staff, and the blue whale transformed into a streak of blue light, shooting towards the Fallen Raven.

Dumbledore also transformed the Phoenix of Hope into a blaze of fire, shooting it at the Fallen Raven.

Two beams of magical light, "Gentleness" and "Hope," simultaneously struck the fallen raven, turning its negative emotions into positive ones, saving it from its depravity and purifying the darkness.

The Fallen Ravens' laughter gradually faded, and the walking corpses on the ground returned to their normal human forms. Diana noticed that the red light in their eyes had disappeared, and everything was peaceful.

Nearly 100,000 wizards awoke in a daze, their memories ending with the magician's death, having forgotten everything that had been controlled by the dark forces.

The wizards scratched their heads and looked around in confusion. When they found that their loved ones, relatives, and companions were still alive, they couldn't help but hug each other and cry tears of relief.

The first rays of dawn shone on Moriarty and Diana. Unbeknownst to them, they had been fighting all night. Now, daylight had broken, darkness had receded, and the gloom had dissipated.

Moriarty and Diana smiled at each other. If you ignored the sad weeping and the mess in Hyprose, it would be a good place for a honeymoon.
