Soon, Elwyn knew what Hagrid meant by a horrible death.
An hour later, he and Sirius returned to the cave.
They did not see a single living giant along the way. The lake under the mountain was in a mess, with giants' corpses and wreckage everywhere, as well as the things that the giants did not have time to take away. The whole lake was dyed red.
It was because of the blood. The blood of too many giants had turned the mountain lake into a blood lake, giving off a pungent smell of blood.
This was originally a gathering place for giants, but now it was the most desolate place in the territory, a purgatory on earth.
The battle between Takuma and Kakus killed most of the giants living here, and the subsequent melee used the lake as the main battlefield.
In just three days, too many giants died here.
The originally powerful giant tribe split up, and all the giants who were still alive fled and moved to the nearby mountains.
In the cave, Elwyn saw Takuma's corpse, or what should be a corpse.
It was sitting on the throne under the statue of the Cyclops, and had turned into a black statue, silent.
On its head was the replica of the "Crown of Fate", and its expression was ferocious with a hint of shock. Its two arms were stretched forward, and the veins on its neck were bulging due to the pain. Its whole body was covered with a layer of uneven black rock, like a grotesque costume.
Around it, the other giant warriors were mostly the same, maintaining the appearance of their previous lives and turning into stone statues.
Elwyn looked at them in surprise, which was even more shocking than seeing a bloody scene.
The giants' magic resistance was very strong, and they were almost immune to most low-level spells, but now they were turned into stone statues.
"This is the curse of the Lord Voldemort, those ornaments mercilessly took their lives …" Sirius said.
Elwyn did not know much about the curse, this special black magic, but he could feel the magic in the other's body.
Like the Petrification Spell, or the eyes of the snake monster, Takuma and the giant warriors no longer had any breath of life.
He was not sure if they could recover, and several dispelling spells and potion formulas appeared in his mind.
"These stupid giants died just like that, making things a mess!" As Sirius spoke, he walked around Takama and walked to the foot of the giant statue of the cyclops. "Old Herbert told me that after Takama became like this, the other giants were very afraid. They didn't understand what had happened. This used to be their holy land, but now it has become a forbidden area. "
"I can feel a powerful curse power …" Elwyn took out his wand and tapped Tallhorse's body lightly.
He tried to cast a spell to dispel it, but the statue was more fragile than he thought.
As soon as his magic took effect, a crack appeared on the statue, making a shrill creaking sound.
Elwyn hurriedly stopped and frowned as he looked at the gradually expanding crack. The magic he used had a completely opposite effect.
Obviously, the Lord Voldemort had foreseen this situation and guessed that a wizard would use this kind of magic on a statue.
Now, even if the curse was successfully dispelled in the end, Tallhorse's body would only return to a pile of flesh.
Elwyn was silent. The Lord Voldemort was really scary!
Even if Dumbledore came, he would have to try one method at a time to dispel the curse. The Lord Voldemort did not intend to give his enemies any chance at all.
No wonder the giants did not dare to come to this place, this was not a power they could understand.
They only saw Tallhorse and his warriors offend the Death Eaters, and then turn into statues in an instant …
A terrifying curse, terrifying magic, and terrifying power.
Because of fear, the remaining giants did not dare to offend the Death Eaters.
This was the terrifying thing about the Lord Voldemort. The most dangerous Dark Wizard in history did not just wave his wand and cast a killing spell.
"Alright, Elwyn, don't worry about these giants!" Sirius said as he took out his wand. "It's not a good thing that they've become like this, but it'll be much easier for us to take the scabbard. No one will stop us."
He waved his wand at the scabbard on the cyclops' eye.
There was no reaction. Sirius frowned and looked at it, then disappeared.
He Phantom appeared on the cyclops statue's eye and gripped the scabbard tightly, trying to pull it out.
"How is it?" Elwyn shouted, looking at Sirius who had become a small black dot above him.
"No, I can't pull it out. There's a special magic on the scabbard that prevents my power. It seems to be one with the statue." Sirius said as he returned to Elwyn's side. "It's hard to imagine that this scabbard was stuck in by Gryffindor."
"Okay, I'll go up and take a look!" Elwyn said. He thought for a moment and Phantom appeared right above the statue.
It was nearly a hundred feet in the air, and from this vantage point, everything on the ground seemed tiny.
If the statue was the same height as the cyclops, then this was the only angle it could see.
Humans, giants, they were all insignificant ants in its eyes.
Elwyn was now standing on top of the cyclops' head. In front of him was its eye, a huge pure topaz.
The gemstone was as clear and shiny as a crystal. It was hard and had no flaws.
This kind of topaz had strong magical properties and had many applications in alchemy.
At the same time, it was also a valuable treasure.
Elwyn steadied himself and was ready to see if he could cut the gemstone.
He aimed his wand at the gemstone below him and cast a powerful attack spell.
A silver light flashed, but there was no trace of damage on the topaz. It was the hardest material Elwyn had ever seen.
Not far away, in the center of the huge eye, the scabbard of Gryffindor's sword was quietly stuck there.
It was an ordinary-looking scabbard that was silver-white in color. It was made of the same material as Gryffindor's sword.
It was engraved with patterns and magic runes that the fairies were used to.
There were small pieces of ruby scattered on the scabbard, emitting a hazy light like the stars in the night sky.
As if sensing Elwyn's gaze, the ruby on the scabbard flashed.
Elwyn walked over to take a closer look at the scabbard. Just as Sirius said, it seemed to be part of the statue.
It was emitting a strange magic power that belonged to Gryffindor.
This power prevented the scabbard from leaving the statue. It firmly sealed the cyclops below.
