Ancient Wizards Return to Hogwarts.

Chapter 547 Slytherin excels at strategizing, Godric excels at warfare

Dumbledore and Cedric didn't give her much time to think; instead, they waved their hands to indicate that they should leave.

At the same time, the atmosphere at Hogwarts became quite somber.

The young wizards at Hogwarts weren't blind; they could naturally see the changing weather outside. They each had their own guesses about the sudden overcast sky.

Malfoy, with his sharp eyes, looked around and then discovered that Daphne and Astoria were both missing. Not only them, but also Rice, Hermione, and Ced—they had all chosen to stay at school.

The simultaneous disappearance of so many powerful wizards must mean something terrible has happened, and Malfoy quickly realized this.

However, after a brief moment of panic, Malfoy quickly regained his composure.

"Don't be nervous, this is a great opportunity to prove yourself, Draco!" He repeated this to himself, forcing himself to calm down.

Then he deliberately spoke loudly to his henchmen Crabbe and Goyle, "It's just a normal weather change; I think a blizzard is on the way."

Many people heard Malfoy's words, and although they scoffed at what he said, the young wizards in the Great Hall calmed down.

It's nothing serious! What could possibly threaten Hogwarts?

With that thought in mind, the young wizards breathed a sigh of relief and then resumed enjoying their rare Christmas holiday.

Hermione, along with Cedric and Dumbledore, had arrived outside Hogwarts. Feeling the almost tangible magic, her expression turned serious.

"Don't panic." Dumbledore's smile remained warm. "Remember, only bring one guy into your territory at a time, and leave the rest to us."

Hermione took a deep breath and nodded to indicate that she understood.

She must seize every second to defeat the invaders who have been drawn into her territory as quickly as possible.

"Fortunately, the domain has evolved, and now it can summon more than just Rice's phantom..." she thought to herself with relief.

Soon, the invaders from the underworld appeared before them.

Without exchanging a single word, the two sides immediately engaged in battle.

Flames suddenly rose up, accompanied by endless sand and dust.

"Flame Domain!"

"The power of the earth?! How could that be?!"

The power of fire and earth greatly shocked the invaders from the underworld.

"Don't panic, they are Hufflepuff students and the former headmaster of Hogwarts, not Gryffindor or Hufflepuff!" An ancient being with a better understanding of reality immediately spoke up to reassure everyone and calm them down.

They're just two newbies who've just entered the field; their appearance here is just an opportunity to feed them!

These words calmed the gods present considerably.

"Let's attack together and finish this quickly!" They decided to join forces to surround and kill these two reckless young men who dared to take the initiative.

Just as they charged forward, Hermione activated her own domain, pulling an ancient god that resembled a fire dragon into her domain.

The disappearance of Hermione and the Ancient Dragon King did not cause much of a stir. Such a realm is not uncommon, so they were not surprised by it.

However, in the blink of an eye, Hermione reappeared, along with the corpse of the ancient dragon king.

Its spirit was shattered, its magic dissipated; it was truly dead.

The ancient beings were astonished: they couldn't understand why the Ancient Dragon King couldn't even last a few seconds. Could this unassuming little girl possess the power to crush them?

While still in shock and doubt, Hermione made another move, pulling an ancient god into her domain.

It was still an instant kill.

However, continuously using the domain to kill beings at the level of a god-king also takes a huge toll on Hermione—summoning the phantoms of Rais and Rowena within the domain consumes a massive amount of magic power, which even Hermione, as the domain owner, cannot withstand.

However, she pretended that nothing had happened and remained calm and composed on the surface.

However, the chaotic magical fluctuations around her gave away her condition. After a few probing attempts by the ancient beings, she was exposed and could only retreat behind Cedric and Dumbledore, trying to adjust her state.

"Just two more minutes, and I can take down another one." Hermione gritted her teeth, glaring at the intruders, secretly cursing herself for not having enough magic.

Although it was a very short time, two fierce battles had already broken out in her domain, almost destroying it. It would be a very optimistic estimate if she could recover within two minutes.

Moreover, the impact of bringing people into this domain this time may be even more severe...

"I hope Cedric and Professor Dumbledore can hold on." Hermione glanced at the two of them again with considerable worry, her heart filled with concern.

To her surprise, the two of them fought against so many ancient beings without falling into a disadvantageous position in the slightest.

The ancient gods who emerged from the underworld gradually realized that something was amiss.

"Who are you two?!" The ancient god's roar was like thunder, and even the earth seemed to tremble.

Cedric and Dumbledore exchanged a smile, then each pulled a potion bottle from their pockets and tossed it on the ground.

"Perfect timing, it's about time," Cedric whispered.

The bottle shattered, spilling out a thick, muddy potion.

"A compound potion?!" Hermione recognized the type of potion.

"That's right," Cedric and Dumbledore answered in unison, and their faces began to change little by little—Dumbledore's beard was turning red rapidly, and his body was growing bigger and bigger, transforming from a frail old man into a strong man.

Cedric gradually became shorter and fatter, and the lines of his face softened.

A few seconds later, Helga and Godric appeared in mid-air, coldly looking at the ancient gods of the underworld.

Ancient God: ...

"Why...?" An ancient being struggled to squeeze out his confusion through clenched teeth.

"It was an idea from a friend of mine who likes to play with snakes." Helga smiled. "My student's domain is the same as mine, Dumbledore's domain is the same as Godric's, and what's more, our war weapons have very few side effects. By drinking Polyjuice Potion and carrying the war weapons, we can completely impersonate our presence."

"So why do you think we'll be bogged down?" Godric shrugged. "If we were really going to go all out, the problems at the other three schools would have been solved long ago!"

"Let's fight them! There are only two of them anyway!" The ancient gods decided to go all out, because at this point, they had almost no way out.

The two sides clashed again, but they were too rushed to subdue the two. Their lack of physical form was a significant disadvantage for the ancient gods of the underworld.

After a moment, Hermione dragged another ancient god into her domain.

She failed to execute the instant kill this time.

When the human and the god reappeared, both had fallen into a coma.

However, while Hermione was able to be sent to Hogwarts to recuperate, the unconscious Old God was left unattended and was soon swept into pieces by the aftershocks of the battle.

However, not long after, both sides in the battle felt an astonishing aura approaching them at an extremely fast speed.

"It's Slytherin and Ravenclaw!"

Now the ancient gods had lost all will to fight and retreated, attempting to break down the barriers between reality and the underworld and escape into the underworld to recuperate.

Hogwarts won this battle.
