Chapter 371 Besieged on All Sides
At the same time that loud, echoing explosion resounded through the old house, another person activated Apparition.
Under the cover of a loud bang like a gunshot, the person quietly appeared behind Belvina, aimed at her back, and cast a killing spell.
Fortunately, Belvina was focused enough to narrowly escape the fatal blow of the Killing Curse.
She was furious, her mind was in turmoil. She darted up the stairs, now extremely agitated. She wanted to destroy something to vent her anger. Anger burned in her dark pupils, immense magic surged within her body, and Blake's bloodline stirred within her veins!
Hearing the faint rustling footsteps inside the house and smelling the heavy, pungent stench of blood in the air, Belvina flicked her wand, and the floating dust instantly changed.
Dust floating in the air, dust accumulating on the stone steps—this dust quickly gathered together, forming a large, coiled snake.
Immediately afterwards, the giant snake made of dust opened its mouth and rushed down the stairs like an arrow, pouncing on the person who was slowly approaching the stairwell.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Belvina quickly left the stair railing that served as temporary cover. With another flick of her acacia wand, a beam of red light shot out—Heart-Piercing Bone-Scraping!
The person downstairs raised his wand, and a whooshing sound suddenly rang out. The large snake made of dust was as if it had been whipped or sliced by a sharp blade, and its flat head was instantly cut in half.
Then, the man dodged again, narrowly avoiding the attacking Heart-Rending Curse.
While dodging the Unforgivable Curse, the person didn't forget to unleash a spell on the stairs.
Belvina raised her left arm, and the spell struck the silver kite-shaped shield that appeared out of thin air, producing a deep, muffled sound that sent shivers down one's spine.
Using the flashes of magical light, Belvina, descending the stairs, was able to see the face of the attacker.
"Barty Crouch!"
It was Barty Crouch, the Director of the International Department of Magical Cooperation, and the father of Barty the Death Eater.
At this moment, Barty Crouch's suit was no longer crisp, and his hair was no longer neatly styled; the straight, unnatural parting was gone.
Barty Crouch, who appeared at Riddle House and ambushed Belvina, looked disheveled, worse off than a homeless person on the street.
The strong, pungent smell of blood was also coming from Crouch; his left hand was covered in blood, and the wound was so deep that it was impossible to tell where it was.
The people living in Little Hangleton could never have imagined that in the dilapidated Riddle House on the hilltop, two wizards were fighting to the death in the cave-like kitchen.
Barty Crouch raised his wand, and another beam of green light flew toward Belvina. Belvina lightly touched the ground with her feet, dodging the attack while swinging her wand.
The plates and dishes that had been stored there for who knows how many years flew out of the cabinet and flew towards Barty Crouch like throwing knives.
Barty Crouch kicked over a long table, then waved his wand repeatedly, sending the overturned table flying toward Belvina.
At the same time, the magical spherical dome turned all the plates and dishes near Crouch into powder.
boom!
The long table, which had been tumbling and flying, broke in half, and the spell was instantly before Barty Crouch's eyes.
"Barty Crouch!" Belvina shouted, her voice like thunder, raising dust and making people's eardrums ache.
Despite her anger, Belvina remained rational. Although she considered Barty Crouch a hypocritical villain, Belvina didn't believe Crouch would side with Voldemort.
Belvina tried to wake up Barty Crouch.
She'll only try this once; if it doesn't work, then she'll have no choice but to consider Barty Crouch her enemy, and fight him to the death.
However, Voldemort's Imperius Curse was not so easy to break free from. Barty Crouch, under control, did not regain his senses and instead intensified his attack on Belvina.
In just a few rounds of fighting, the kitchen of Riddle House was a complete mess. Not to mention the broken plates and dishes, the old furniture was either broken or burned.
The failed spell sparked flames everywhere, which quickly turned into a fire that spread rapidly throughout the kitchen.
At that moment, Barty Crouch found Belvina by the light of the fire, raised his wand, and another beam of green light shot out.
From his initial Apparition attack, Crouch always used the Unforgivable Curse, sometimes the Killing Curse, sometimes the Cruciatus Curse, and every attack was aimed at killing.
It was as if Barty Crouch had some deep-seated grudge against Belvina; as if Barty Crouch had received orders to kill Belvina.
With the situation as it is, there is no hope of waking up Barty Crouch, and Belvina, who has tried, feels she has done nothing wrong.
Since that was the case, Belvina no longer held back and decided to send Mr. Crouch to reunite with Mrs. Crouch.
The acacia wand was raised high, and the accumulated dust in the room pressed against Barty Crouch like a solid, high-speed wall, as if trying to crush him into a Crouch-like figure.
With no way to avoid it, Barty Crouch raised his wand and pressed down hard with both hands. The solid dust wall instantly shattered, dust filled the kitchen of Riddle House, and even the spreading flames were extinguished!
"what!"
A burst of blood mist exploded, scattering flesh, blood, and bone fragments everywhere.
Barty Crouch let out a piercing scream that sent chills down one's spine.
A spell that seemed to come from nowhere struck Barty Crouch, and if he hadn't raised his left arm to block it, it would have been fatal.
At the same time, alarm bells rang in Belvina's mind as she held her wand. She seemed to hear a rustling, sliding sound and smelled a pungent, fishy odor—
Suddenly, a giant snake appeared out of nowhere, cutting through the swirling dust, its gaping maw aimed straight for Belvina's neck.
Belvina leaned her upper body back sharply, her excellent flexibility allowing her to perform a backbend-like movement and barely dodge the snake's attack.
In the brief moment before she nearly perished in the snake's jaws, Belvina got a clear look at the giant snake that had launched the attack. This snake was at least twelve feet long; it was even longer than Hagrid!
The twelve-foot-long giant snake wouldn't tolerate its prey's continued hesitation. The moment its massive body hit the ground, its thick tail lashed fiercely at Belvina.
As Belvina stepped off the bridge with one hand, she twisted her body and dodged the sweeping snake tail in an incredible pose, while simultaneously straightening her body.
She raised her wand, and the acacia wand trembled violently, flashing a blinding green light accompanied by a series of chaotic sounds.
Avada Kedavra!
However, the enormous snake, despite its exaggerated size, moved with extraordinary agility and easily dodged the killing curse.
Immediately afterwards, the dimly lit, dusty room became bright, and Belvina waved her wand, from which streaks of golden-red flames shot out.
Flames continuously drove the giant snake away, forcing it to retreat time and again.
Meanwhile, the flames continued to ignite the furnishings inside the house, spreading rapidly throughout the room with unstoppable force.
Using the flames as cover, Belvina took three steps at a time and slipped out through the back door. She had no intention of fighting the giant snake in the room.
Soon, the flames spread rapidly from the kitchen, thick smoke billowed up, and Riddle House teetered on the brink of collapse amidst the raging fire.
Click!
A crisp popping sound suddenly rang out.
The giant snake smashed through the glass and burst out of the sea of fire, then charged at Belvina once more.
Belvina raised her wand, and with a flash of red light, the giant serpent was sent flying into the air, its heavy body crashing into the overgrown weeds.
Then came another loud bang, and Barty Crouch, with a broken arm, struggled to get out of the fire. Belvina turned around, and another flash of red light appeared.
Just as he rushed out of the fire, Barty Crouch collapsed to the ground, writhing and screaming in agony. Blood gushed from his severed arm, quickly forming a horrifying pool of blood.
Even if you do nothing more to Buddy Crouch, he will still die from blood loss.
The giant snake, disappearing into the weeds, crouched low and crawled slowly, its slithering body leaving wide, winding trails.
Just as the giant snake was about to launch another sneak attack, Belvina suddenly raised her left hand upwards, and the overgrown ground suddenly rose, sending the giant snake flying high into the air as if it had been thrown by a giant hand.
A bolt of lightning flashed from the acacia wood wand as it descended.
A blinding green light shot out from the trembling tip of the wand.
