Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 319, Section 317: Eat My Great Thief's Technique!

"Avada Kedavra, eating a giant melon!"

Dudley was answered by a faint green light.

The fairy, or rather Voldemort, had no intention of greeting Dudley and promptly unleashed his prized magic.

Avada Kedavra! Or rather—the instant death curse!

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Voldemort had only one thought in his mind, and he put it into action.

He had no concept of martial ethics or the dangers of sneak attacks. He was capricious and reckless throughout his life, which was his style.

Voldemort's attack was sudden, but Dudley had been on guard.

The instant Voldemort uttered the incantation, he stomped down hard. Just a second before the incantation was about to hit his body, something suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the instant-death spell.

"Senior Tom, a surprise attack is much less fun."

"Dali said slowly, and as he spoke, he changed his posture again."

Where is Harry Potter?

Voldemort's hoarse voice rang out.

He needed to get Potter's blood, otherwise, because of that protective spell, he wouldn't be able to get close to him until he came of age.

"Of course, it's with our beloved principal."

Upon hearing Dudley's words, Voldemort's face darkened completely. It seemed that Barty Jr. had truly failed. His most trusted servant had also failed.

What a piece of trash!

Although Barty Jr. said that he and Voldemort had a relationship that went beyond father and son, it was all just wishful thinking on his part. Voldemort did not refute this, but he also did not admit it. In Voldemort's heart, only he himself was the most important.

"I know you. Harry Potter's cousin."

Voldemort's face was grim, his marble-sized eyes filled with venom: "You've ruined my plans multiple times. Do you know the consequences? I will kill you in the cruelest way possible."

Dudley wasn't sure what kind of connection existed between the Horcruxes, nor whether they could communicate.

From his conversation with Voldemort, it can be seen that the Horcrux should have some memories, but they seem to be incomplete.

"Senior Tom."

As soon as Dudley finished speaking, another spell struck, which he casually deflected with his wand.

"Don't call me by that name!"

Voldemort shrieked.

Not all fairies have such shrill voices; most are quite calm. However, the fairy called "Golden Brick," possessed by Voldemort, has a rather shrill voice.

"But that's your name, isn't it?"

Dudley's wand swept through the air, revealing a name.

Tom Riddle

Then the wand was waved, and the name formed a sentence.

"I am Voldemort"

"Look, senior, isn't that your name?"

Tom Riddle, Voldemort's father also had this name. Both father and son used the same name, so strictly speaking, Voldemort should be called Tom Riddle II.

Voldemort fell silent. He had learned firsthand how annoying the other man's mouth was. Now, he only wanted to do one thing.

"Avada Kedavra, eating a giant melon!"

kill him!

Another dark green beam of light shot straight at Dali's face.

Although it failed for some unknown reason just now, this spell is still Voldemort's most trusted magic. He has used this spell to take the lives of countless powerful wizards.

Unlike other spells, Avada Kedavra is a curse that no magic can defend against except through a contest of pure magical power.

The reason this curse is so terrifying is because there is no way to defend against it, nor is there a way to counter it.

Even the most famous guardian spells cannot be used.

Only life can withstand the Avada Kedavra curse.

Voldemort seemed to have already foreseen the miserable state of his opponent.

With another stomp of his foot, something appeared in front of Dudley, blocking the Killing Curse.

This time, Voldemort saw it; what blocked the Killing Curse was a black sphere.

What could possibly stop a killing curse?! How is that possible?!

Voldemort's eyes widened, though even those marble-sized eyes could only widen to a limited extent.

"Senior Tom, stop with the surprise attacks all the time."

"."

Voldemort had no intention of speaking to Dudley, and his Killing Curse failed once again, unsurprisingly.

This time, however, Voldemort saw what the sphere looked like. It was a "living sphere," a sphere formed by a dense mass of unknown creatures gathered together!

It is absolutely true that only life can withstand the Killing Curse.

This is the characteristic of this instant-death spell.

There's a saying in the wizarding world: every spell has a way to be broken. So, throughout thousands of years of magical history, countless people have tried to break the Killing Curse.

One suggestion was to use hamsters to break the curse. The idea was to make clothes with many pockets and put hamsters inside. If the other party used a killing spell on you, the hamsters on your chest would block it before you could.

Spells have no intelligence; they don't know which one is the target.

The experiment did indeed show good results; the special clothing worn as "hamster clothes" did block the killing curse.

However, when the "Hamster Suit" was actually put into use, it failed. The wizard who invented the "Hamster Suit" died under a killing curse.

As we all know, hamsters are very timid creatures. Keeping them in a small, enclosed bag for a short time might be okay, but if it's for too long, and they also have to be carried around and engage in strenuous activities (fighting), it will be a problem.

Before the other party can even cast the killing spell, these hamsters might scare themselves to death.

When he confidently faced off against his opponent, he was killed by a fatal curse.

Similarly, some people tried to use the Transfiguration Charm to turn into living beings to block the Killing Curse, but unfortunately, although their idea was good, the creatures created by advanced Transfiguration Charms, although they looked no different from ordinary creatures, were not true life in essence.

It cannot deceive the Killing Curse, nor can it deceive the nature of magic.

Perhaps the ancient wizards of the Age of Gods were able to create truly alchemical life forms, but modern wizards cannot. That is why the wizard who proposed the Transfiguration Charm to block the Killing Curse died under the Killing Curse.

From then on, no wizard ever suggested stopping the Killing Curse again.

Until Dudley appeared.

He didn't choose the second wizard's approach, but instead chose the first. However, he didn't choose a hamster, but a cockroach. Cockroaches are different from hamsters. These creatures, nicknamed "little strong ones," are as tenacious as their name suggests, and they don't know what fear is.

Even if their own head is twisted off, they can still survive for seven days.

The cause of death was still starvation.

The sphere that Dudley used to block Voldemort's Killing Curse was a cockroach ball formed by thousands of cockroaches gathered together.

I heard you're good at using the "Gnawing on a Big Melon" spell?

Eat my great thieving oil-stealing technique!
