The night grew darker, and the boundless darkness shrouded everything.
Elwyn, Dumbledore, and Keresis stood in front of the gate of Newmengaard and discussed the matter. What Keresis said sounded ridiculous and unbelievable. It was no less legendary than the story of the Three Holy Relics and the Grim Reaper.
"That monster …" Keresis said in a low voice. "According to the records passed down in the family, its body was huge and twisted. It was difficult to describe. It seemed to be pieced together from the bodies of countless creatures, and its existence represented despair."
"Pieced together from the bodies of countless creatures …" Elwyn remembered something.
"It's certain that it was part of the evil god that Salazar took away," Dumbledore said softly.
"But the evil god was broken down into a brain, eyes, and body …"
"It's a body!" Dumbledore said with certainty. "A body made of flesh and blood. That's why it can provide blood."
After a moment of silence, Elwyn felt that he was very close to the truth of the matter!
A thousand years ago, Salazar Slytherin came to Norway with the body of the evil god that he had broken down.
He sealed the eyeballs in the Hogwarts and dealt with the brain. The body was the last part.
In the end, Salazar sealed it there, deep in the tundra of Norway.
Because this part of the body was too powerful, in addition to leaving a seal, Salazar also selected some wizards to guard the seal. They were Keresis and his vampire clan. Their power came from the blood of the evil god.
This was the source of their power, the root of their strength, but it was also a curse, which explained why they had to guard the seal.
After all, once the seal was opened, the evil god inside would be out of control.
This meant that the vampires who used the blood of the evil god would be killed by the evil god or become its slaves.
There was no way to escape, because this was the power of the blood.
The evil god could sense the traces of the vampires who used its blood to complete The Embrace through the magic in the blood.
Therefore, in order to save their lives, they only had one choice, and that was to maintain the power of the seal.
The vampires probably had a special secret method to strengthen and maintain the seal, which allowed the magic to run for thousands of years, unlike the eyeball monster, which had lost its effect long ago.
But as time passed, even the strongest seal would lose its effect one day.
Next was the prophecy that Elaine had told Elwyn. The vampires believed that someone would help them strengthen the seal.
Elaine thought it would be Elwyn, while Keresis and the other vampires chose Lord Voldemort.
After all, the person mentioned in the prophecy had Salazar's belongings to prove himself, and both Elwyn and Lord Voldemort fulfilled the conditions.
What happened next was very clear. This was the main reason why Keresis wanted to help Lord Voldemort.
Of course, the Lord Voldemort was not the one in the prophecy.
He did not help the vampires strengthen the seal, but only made things worse.
If time magic was added, it would explain why there were no vampires in the original work.
Because Elwyn did not go back a thousand years to see Slytherin, he must have used other methods to deal with the evil god.
In other words, all these things were a test left by Slytherin, and it was related to his secret treasure key.
That was why the seal had lasted for a thousand years and only started to collapse now …
Things were very clear, but there were still some details that needed to be clarified. First was the appearance and strength of the evil god's body.
Elwyn voiced his doubts, and Keresis explained, "I saw that monster before. To be precise, it should be a memory, a memory left by my ancestors."
"Where is that memory?"
"I gave it to Lord Voldemort. If you want to see it, I can extract what I saw." Keresis said and sighed. "By the way, Elwyn, you saw it too. Do you remember when I used the Soul Snatching Spell and the Mind Snatching Spell on you in class? You resisted my spell and entered my mind. What you saw was that monster. "
"Is it that guy?" Because he was very shocked at that time, Elwyn remembered it very clearly, and it left a deep impression.
He still remembered that in Keresis's memory, he saw an endless abyss. The surrounding stones were all black, tightly stacked together, extending outwards, and at the highest point was endless darkness.
When his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, he realized that there was something there.
It was a huge alien monster, like a mixture of the world's most terrifying creatures.
Its body was dark purple, and it was made up of piles of rotten meat.
In the middle was a humanoid creature. It could not be seen clearly, but one could vaguely make out that it was covered with barnacle-like things. There were irregular holes one after another, which made one's scalp tingle.
Further up, there was bright orange hair, like the patterns on a poisonous spider.
A bony spine extended downwards, and with it as the center, a twisted and grotesquely shaped torso extended in all directions.
Elwyn still remembered that he saw many familiar characteristics of magical animals, but they were all specious.
It felt like someone had mixed and minced the bodies of hundreds of magical animals together, and then casually put these pieces of meat together.
It could be said that this was definitely the worst work in history, a terrifying monster that could give people nightmares just by looking at it.
For example, the body closest to the top of the middle was the body of a snake monster. It coiled downwards, and one could not see the end. Vaguely, one could see something that looked like the head of an air-dried fire dragon looming in the darkness.
The snake monster's body was no longer beautiful dark green scales, but was replaced by purple wrinkled muscle patterns.
Every few feet, there would be a blue or yellow, trembling, wriggling tumor, as if it could burst at any time. There seemed to be something hidden inside, and it could not wait to rush out …
This was definitely not a happy memory. Just as Keresis said, the body of this evil god represented despair and fear.
"It is made up of the corpses of countless creatures …"
