In the silver-white space of his consciousness, the seventeen-year-old Gryffindor in front of Elwyn suddenly glowed.
Like a ghost, its body gradually became translucent and fainter …
Elwyn knew that it was because the will left behind by Gryffindor at the core of its body was quickly dissipating.
In a few minutes, it would completely disappear and become pure energy attached to the scabbard.
"Not long ago, the Dark Sorcerers of Raven's Claw returned. They're conducting an evil magic ritual down there," the young man said.
It did not seem to notice the changes in its body, or maybe it did, but it did not care.
"What are they planning to do? Awaken the Cyclops?" Elwyn asked.
"That's not it. The cyclops is dead and can never be revived. Those dark Magi know this, which is why they came back. What they want is the enormous power left behind by the cyclops' body. They want to extract that power!"
"Extract the Cyclops' power?" Elwyn said in surprise.
"Yes, you've felt it before. It's a very pure and powerful power with a primitive aura of destruction. They're going to use this power for other evil purposes. I heard them say that they're going to summon something that shouldn't exist in this world." The smile on the young man's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Ivan sternly. "We have to stop them. As the seal of the Cyclops, this is my duty. At the same time, it is also your duty, Gryffindor's successor!"
"What should I do?" Elwyn looked at the young man who was almost translucent.
"Go to the depths of the rock core and stop their magic ritual. Don't let them take away the magic that they've extracted. As for the great power left in the Cyclops' body, you'll have to stab the scabbard into its eye again …" Just like his gradually dissipating figure, the young man's voice became weaker as if it came from far away.
Elwyn nodded his head hesitantly. This fellow made it sound easy, but stopping 13 fully armed dark Magi was not an easy task.
In the worst case scenario, he would have to borrow the power of the Sorcerer's Stone again. However, the Dark Wizards were not stupid giants. They would not allow Elwyn to finish drawing the runes.
"Don't worry too much, Gryffindor's successor!" As if sensing Elwyn's doubts, the young man smiled again. "Use the power of the scabbard well. It will help you. I believe you will succeed!"
In the next second, before Elwyn could ask any more questions, he left the spiritual space and returned to the real world.
He and Sirius were standing at the edge of the cave. The space in front of them was still shaking, and the cave was full of smoke and dust.
After pulling out the scabbard, the statue of the Cyclops, which was nearly a hundred feet tall, completely collapsed.
The conversation between Elwyn and Gryffindor's consciousness seemed to last for a long time, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed in the real world.
There was still a powerful force on the scabbard in his hand, but there was no longer any will on it.
Now, it was pure energy that slowly flowed into Elwyn's body.
This was the primal power of destruction that came from the Cyclops. It was different from Elwyn's magic. It did not repel, nor was it compatible with.
It only rotated in Elwyn's body according to a certain path, and finally returned to the scabbard …
Elwyn remembered what Gryffindor had told him through his will. He waved his wand and tried to use this special magic.
He did not chant an incantation. He simply flung out the magic that flowed into his body from the scabbard, and it emitted a red magic light.
The light fell on a boulder in the distance, accompanied by a terrifying noise, and a scarlet lightning flashed.
The boulder shattered. This lightning was amazing, comparable to a high-level offensive magic, but the casting speed was much faster.
Elwyn looked at the scabbard in his hand in shock. He did not expect it to be lightning.
As long as he held this scabbard, it was equivalent to holding the powerful lightning power that was unique to the Cyclops.
Even a weak little wizard could easily cast a powerful and damaging magic.
Elwyn was not sure if this scabbard could only be used by him, or anyone else, but it was already amazing enough!
Beside him, Sirius was also shocked by the magic that Elwyn had just cast.
"Elwyn, what was that lightning?" He said in surprise. "I've never seen this kind of magic."
It was no wonder that Sirius was surprised. The various magic spells that wizards could use did not include lightning.
It was the power of nature, and could not be converted by the wizard's magic. It could only be done with the help of very specific magic tools.
These magic tools were usually Legendary magic tools, and were very, very rare.
"It's this scabbard …" Elwyn briefly told Sirius the information that he had obtained in the spiritual space.
He looked at Elwyn and the scabbard in his hand in disbelief. He then took the scabbard and tried it out. He could also use the power of lightning.
After Gryffindor's will disappeared, the power on the scabbard could be used by anyone.
For thousands of years, this scabbard had been the core of the sealing magic, constantly absorbing the Cyclops' power from the depths of the earth's core to maintain the seal.
In the end, the scabbard itself became a powerful magic tool, and its value was no less than Gryffindor's treasured sword.
Sirius studied it for a while more before returning the scabbard to Elwyn.
They discussed the black magic ritual that the Raven's Claw Dark Sorcerers were performing and the request from Gryffindor's will. They both agreed that they had to end the battle quickly and solve the problem below as soon as possible. They had to take advantage of the fact that the Dark Sorcerers were unprepared to go down and attack them.
Although there was a huge difference in numbers, just as Gryffindor's will had said, Elwyn and Sirius had a high chance of success if they used the power of the scabbard properly. They just had to stab the scabbard into the eye of the Cyclops below, and they could destroy the ritual and solve the problem.
When that happened, they could just leave in a phantom form, or they could use different strategies according to the situation.
The most dangerous part was the stab process. They had to figure out a way to not attract the attention of the Dark Sorcerers.
Ten minutes later, the rumbling sound in the cave completely disappeared, and the two entered again.
The statue's original position was replaced by a pit. It was completely dark below, and they could not see the bottom.
"How do we get to the depths of the Rock Core? Are we going to jump down from here?" Sirius asked, looking at the bottomless pit.
"No, there's a passage. The Cyclops went through it," Elwyn said, carefully observing the cave.
If they knew the exact location of the magma in the Rock Core, it would be more convenient to use the door key or the phantom form.
The Raven's Claw Dark Sorcerers entered the Rock Core using this method, but Elwyn and the others did not know, so they had to find the passage.
This passage was last used a few hundred years ago, by the first Dark Sorcerer who sensed the presence of the Cyclops.
He and Sirius searched carefully in the huge cave and found a stone door at the innermost side.
