London, England. In the Division of Mystical Affairs on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic's basement, a loud muffled sound came from the Hall of Death. Gray hot smoke and dust gushed out from the violently fluttering curtains. The terrifying shockwave continued to vibrate in the room. There was a sharp piercing sound in the air. Space seemed to be constantly distorted. Huge cracks appeared on the walls and the ground. The entire room was shaking. Broken bricks and stones fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Some skeletons and corpse fragments were turned into powder by the high temperature and shockwave. Black skeletons wrapped in rotten skin and Soul Eaters in black cloaks rolled out of the curtains along with the billowing smoke and dust.
Then, hurried footsteps sounded in the empty corridor. The moment Saul Kroc, the Silent Man who stayed in the Division of Mystical Affairs' British headquarters, saw the scene in the room, his pupils shrank slightly. Then, with a burning gaze, he raised his arm and covered his face with the wide sleeves of his magic robe. He hurriedly closed the door.
When everything in the room returned to normal, Saul, who had finished treating Kroc, adjusted the crooked wizard hat on his head and opened the door of the Hall of Death.
The hall was a mess. Apart from the scattered rubble and dust in the room, there were cracks and cracks everywhere. Countless cracks appeared on the walls and the ground, which appeared to be full of scars.
Even though the Soul Catchers were as tattered as ever and had rotten palms stuck in them, they were actually unharmed apart from being blasted out of the curtain by the shockwave because they were existences that transcended life and death.
These wild creatures that did not have an agreement with the Ministry of Magic immediately flew towards the Silent Man after discovering him, trying to satisfy their insatiable thirst.
Kroc, who did not know what was behind the curtains, had goosebumps all over his body. As the Silent Man, he was not afraid of these things that were known as one of the ugliest things in the world. Instead, it was because after being a Silent Man for so long, he discovered something new for the first time. Although his colleague Allen Harris had fallen into the curtains, he had no intention of telling him what was inside.
And now, Kroc knew that Soul Dementors were used to haunting the darkest, filthiest places. They lived in decay and despair. Although he didn't understand how it happened, he was thrilled to discover that the Soul Dementors were flushed out together with some undead creatures.
The Silent Man tightened his grip on the wand in his hand. The Soul Dementors' ability to suck peace, hope, and happiness out of the surrounding air did not affect the excited Silent Man. As the tip of the wand glowed with the light of hope, a Raven Guardian Angel emerged from the tip of the wand and drove the Soul Dementors away. The Soul Dementors knew that the man in front of them was not someone they could mess with. (Author's note: "Croaker" means "the one who foresees the murder". The word has this meaning because in English, "croaking" refers to the cry of a raven or raven. This bird is often regarded as a harbinger of death because it eats carrion. So, although the officials did not specify what the Guardian Deity of this character is, I set it as the creature in his surname that resembles a Ravenclaw.)
Then, Kroc began to clean up the dust and smoke, trying to determine what exactly happened. But not long after, his expression turned a little ugly. After cleaning up the thick dust, he realized that the room was contaminated by some kind of energy, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Every pore on his body felt as though it was blocked by thick silt, and his chest felt stuffy.
"What the hell is this energy behind the curtains? It's not magic, but it can contaminate me? " Kroc thought as he touched his skin that had just been healed. He also realized that the burn just now was not just a burn. So, he cursed and used his wand to remove the non-magical energy that was actually nuclear radiation. After that, he sensed the environment and his expression became a little depressed. "This room is full of it. Looks like I'll have to work overtime tonight …"
Because even if a large part of the Division of Mysteries had been moved away, under normal circumstances, wizards from other departments were not allowed to enter and leave. Kroc knew that he could not ask his so-called colleagues Allen, Luna, or the other silent members of the Harris family for help. So, the joy he felt just now had diminished a lot. He cursed and used his wand to remove the radiation while studying it. From time to time, he would also release a Guardian Deity to wake up the monsters that were obviously more irrational than the dementors in the Ministry of Magic, allowing them to float on the ceiling obediently.
As Kroc observed the situation, he felt a little relieved. Judging from the skeletons that rushed out earlier, he could tell that the shockwaves and energy seemed to have been weakened by the energy barrier of the arch. Otherwise, the only remaining Department of Mysteries facility in London would have been destroyed.
On the American side, Penello stood in front of the police station and bit her lip. She secretly decided to increase her personal training time when she went back. Otherwise, the gap between her and Allen, who was already inferior to him in terms of strength, would only grow bigger and bigger.
Penello just saw with her own eyes that before she noticed the movement in the distance, Allen had used prophecy to capture the approximate range of the missile that was flying quickly towards her. Then, she was dazed for a moment, and the Otherworld Gate in the distance began to appear out of thin air. She blinked a few times, and with her excellent dynamic vision, she could see the afterimage of the missile rushing into the Otherworld Gate that had just been completed not long ago.
And with the removal of the portal, everything disappeared without a trace in the air. Except for the residual tail left behind by the missile due to its high speed, it was as if nothing had ever appeared.
"Penello, when we're done here, send someone to help Kroc get rid of the radiation. Otherwise, he'll have to work overtime for several days … He doesn't have the authority to let others in." Allen's tone was very relaxed, and then he raised his eyebrows at Penello. "By the way, Penello, have you mastered the Fire Shield?"
"Of course …" Penello was stunned after she answered. Then she saw Allen's smile, and her shoulders shook slightly. She held the staff in her hand and began to get excited. "Want to burn down a city? I've actually thought of doing that a long time ago! But why don't we use fire? Even if there's no evidence, the Fire Shield will let the Americans know that we did it. "
"Although fire burns faster and destroys more thoroughly, it's not easy to control. If a few fire beasts fly out, we'll really be sinners. You know how powerful the Americans are … We have to command them to go into the sewers." The staff in Allen's hand spewed out blue flames, and they burned around them. "Things have come to this. Although I personally feel that the Grim Reaper is to blame, I'm still responsible for it … At least this will ensure that the virus is completely eliminated. This kind of evil shouldn't be borne by one person. I'm not afraid of dirtying my hands."
The blue fire that had just been thrown to the ground became more and more ferocious. The fire snake moved violently like an eel, quickly spreading and rushing out with a very ferocious momentum. Penello was no longer trying to persuade her. Her attention became a little jealous when she saw that the blue flames that Allen had released were unharmed by the thick fog, so she also began to use fire escape to protect herself.
More blue flames rose into the sky as if they were completely out of control. They rose as if they were determined to destroy everything. The roars of the dragons resounded through the sky. Some of the blue flames turned into the five-headed dragon that Luna once turned into — a four-legged giant dragon with five different dragon heads. They rose in the city, and wherever the dragon's breath swept across, the sky was full of blue flames.
Beside the ferocious dragons with five different heads, a fire phoenix that looked very similar to Allen's Animagus hovered majestically in the sky. Its clear cry didn't inspire courage, but surging flames that set off a blue heat wave that mercilessly swallowed everything in the city below.
Penello, who was standing at the intersection of the blue flames released by Allen, noticed with some annoyance that the thick fog didn't begin to disperse quickly as she wanted to avoid the part of fire shield she cast. The thick fog didn't move and was unharmed as it was in the face of Allen's blue flames. Instead, it easily resisted Penello's part.
