The mastermind behind Hogwarts

When Moriarty arrived in the land of the dead, chaos erupted in the city.

Light and Gamp carried out a massacre inside.

Upon realizing this, Moriarty was delighted.

"When did these undead mess with Light and Gamp?!"

"Guard and Gump risked exposure and returned to the Ministry of Magic just to deal with a bunch of undead?"

"What is this? A double-cross? Dogs fighting?"

"If this place is truly the realm of the dead, as I imagine, then the souls are inexhaustible!"

Moriarty looked at the city-state so close at hand, showing no intention of entering it.

"Although it's unclear why Light and Gamp are causing trouble for a group of undead, don't even think about letting me in."

As Moriarty spoke, fire elemental magic erupted, like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia awakening.

Fire elemental magic rained down on the city-state, instantly turning the realm of the dead into a sea of ​​fire, and countless souls were instantly vaporized!

Light and Gamp felt Moriarty's magic and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Moriarty is as domineering as ever. Even if this is hell, he wants to turn it into a fiery inferno, is that what he means?!"

"hehe."

The two communicated with great ease, as if they had not seen the raging flames sweeping towards them.

"boom!"

The Heat erupted, engulfing both players.

Undeterred, it continued its rampage, turning everything around it into a sea of ​​fire before disappearing into the distance.

Outside the city, Moriarty's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Did I burn Guang and Gamp to death?"

"No, wait, what kind of trick are they playing?"

Moriarty couldn't believe that his two arch-enemies, whom he had fought for so long, could be so easily destroyed.

as predicted.

Just one minute later, Moriarty's fire elemental magic disappeared, and the city-state destroyed by the sea of ​​fire reappeared.

The souls inside, as if resurrected, were lively and energetic.

Light and Gampo were naturally among them.

Moriarty's expression gradually turned serious.

Rather than resurrection, it's more accurate to say that these souls never truly died.

The disappearance of the black python previously proved that the magic could only last for one minute, and now it has proven another point:

Magic has no effect on the soul.

At least that's the case here.

at the same time.

Inside the city, Gamp wore a mocking smile.

"Mr. Hikaru, did you see that?"

"Once the magic fails, Moriarty will be out of options."

"In the end, he was nothing more than a vessel driven by elemental artifacts!"

"He wasn't a magical legend, nor did he possess any elemental artifacts. Anyone in his shoes would have achieved the same level of success."

Gamp was somewhat resentful of Moriarty, the "current magic legend," and would take every opportunity to mock him.

A pair of triangular eyes peered out of the city. Now that the elemental artifacts are gone and everyone is in a soul state, what can you do to fight against the commander?

You must understand that this is the realm of the dead, the territory of the undead.

In the truest sense, you can't take anything with you when you die!

Wealth, reputation, connections, strength, tools, and magic—all are useless.

All gains will be reduced to zero!

It was a death match in its purest form.

Thinking of this, Gamp's smugness became even more apparent.

"Mr. Hikaru, you and I are older than Moriarty and have experienced countless strange things. We can easily adapt to all kinds of environments, which is our greatest advantage."

"In this original state and with a system resembling primitive society, you and I are better suited to survive than Moriarty!"

Gamp spoke with great conviction, but overlooked one fact.

This is not the first time he has spoken with such certainty and pride.

Guangke hadn't forgotten his previous experiences of being humiliated. He noticed Gamp's smugness and couldn't help but remind him, "Don't forget that Moriarty is a miracle worker."

"Every time we encounter difficulties, we actually experience a huge boost."

"This has happened to you and me before, so let's not open the champagne halfway through, okay, Mr. Minister?"

Gamp's smile froze instantly. "You're right."

"Our goal is not to eliminate Moriarty, but to refine our souls."

"By doing this, we can become stronger."

"We must be cautious."

"I'm glad to see that you understand this." Guang breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Gamp might take the opportunity to cause trouble for Moriarty.

Although this is a good location to ambush Moriarty, Guang doesn't think it can completely eliminate Moriarty; at most, it will only cause him some obstacles.

However, Moriarty will certainly not let Hikari and Gamp off easily, making it difficult for them to achieve their goals.

"Let's continue our unfinished mission, Minister." Hikaru used honorifics.

At the same time, he sighed to himself: as long as the minister doesn't get carried away, he's a good minister.

……

outside the city.

Moriarty used wind elemental magic to create gentle breezes that blew into the city-state.

The breeze, like Moriarty's eyes, saw the true situation within the city.

"Although my magic only lasts for a minute, that's enough for me to observe and understand the operating principles here!"

Moriarty is exceptionally intelligent; just as Gamp and Light could see through this, so could Moriarty.

Because he was a time traveler, his understanding was actually more advanced.

"The earliest form of life!"

With the breeze, Moriarty saw not only human-shaped souls, but also strangely shaped soul forms, most of which belonged to animals on Earth.

"Apart from that, it operates according to rules similar to those of primitive societies."

"And, the Dark Forest Theory!"

A glimmer of light appeared in Moriarty's eyes; here, the Dark Forest Law became:

"Once a soul appears, it will inevitably be attacked by all the other souls!"

"And the souls here are endless, which means there is only one way out: to fight your way through."

"As long as we keep fighting, we'll definitely become stronger. Hikari and Gamp came here to strengthen their souls."

In an instant, Moriarty understood and deduced that Light and Gamp had used some method to strengthen themselves.

However, some minor problems arose in the soul during this process.

"So they came here."

"Seek a solution."

"Then I absolutely cannot do as you wish!"

Moriarty resolutely entered the city-state.

So what if magic is ineffective? So what if it's a soul state?

After learning this, Moriarty's smile never faded.

Moriarty was a wizard, but he never forgot his instincts.

It was just murder.

Anyone can do that!

Thus, the land of the dead lost a wizard but gained an assassin.

One by one, the dead were harvested by Moriarty like wheat, with ease.

Moriarty discovered that the undead, apart from their sheer numbers, did not possess any particularly powerful abilities.

"By weakening me, everyone else is also weakened, so it's relatively fair."

So Moriarty changed his tactics. He became like an assassin, infiltrating the dead with godlike maneuvering, avoiding enemies, and searching for Gamp and Light.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Moriarty quietly approached Gamp and Light.

Ganpu and Guang attacked the dead, focusing on someone who had worked hard and was trembling with fear.

However, they did not see a pair of gray eyes appearing behind them, taking in their every move.
