"Make your choice. You can either experience nirvana with me or be destroyed with the school."
Hoffa stared into Silby's eyes. There was no emotion in those eyes, only madness hidden under the vicissitudes of life.
The last trace of fantasy was shattered, and he saw the truth.
The other party was well-prepared, had superb acting skills, meticulous plans, ruthless and methodical in his actions. He could endure loneliness and resist temptation. He always had a backup plan. He was a living example of a male protagonist in a novel with a high IQ.
As for himself, he was just a second-year student. Even if he lived a few years longer than the average person, he was no match for this thousand-year-old demon.
He knew that what Silby wanted was not as simple as a school, a country, or a continent. His desire, his ambition, and his ideals would never allow him to stop.
Perhaps he was just one of the countless obstacles that he had to overcome.
At this moment, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he saw in Barcelona surged into Hoffa's mind again. He saw the ruins and countless lives turned to ashes in a scheme.
That was his inner demon, and also his fear.
Over the past year, he had woken up from nightmares countless times and realized his insignificance and powerlessness. And a similar scene was about to happen again.
He looked down at the orb, then looked up at the mirror image on the lake. More and more collapsed structures and explosives were placed in the school.
At this moment, Hoffa truly understood the weight of the sentence on the coin.
Seek the light under the darkness.
It was not as simple as a sentence. It was the torture of the soul, the interrogation of life.
Who am I?
Why am I here?
In the center of the black lake, under the thick black clouds of 1940, Hoffa once again tried to understand himself, tried to understand life. However, the final result was not as he had hoped.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Hoffa exhaled and finally calmed down.
"Do you want to hear my thoughts?"
"Tell me."
Silby tilted his head.
"For the past six months, I have three minutes every day for myself to repent of the past.
There was once a person who faced life and adventure optimistically even though he was physically disabled. But I couldn't protect him. I watched him die in front of me. It was my fault.
I have wondered countless times if I could have done better if I was given another chance.
That man is my friend. I'm willing to help him and take risks with him. "
After a pause, Hoffa said, "But that person is not you.
The coin of Ravenclaw should have been with you a long time, but you never seemed to understand the meaning of it. Or rather, you understand it, but you disdain to follow it. "
Looking at the expressionless Silby, Hoffa smiled calmly and said calmly, "You're right.
"I think that you are a schemer, a murderer, an unscrupulous coward, and a spider living in the world of darkness. I don't want to be associated with you.
Do whatever you want, endless power, endless wealth, and power? Oh, those things are as funny as stinking dung to me.
Sometimes, I often ask myself what I want and what my life goal is. Thinking about it carefully, what I want is happiness. But I haven't found the true meaning of happiness. But the only thing I'm sure of is that you can't give me what I want. "
Then, he placed the Hogwarts Orb on the ground. "To prove my strength, I can't do it. Give up."
Silby stared at him in silence for a long time.
Then, a smile appeared on his face. His palm deformed and opened, revealing a black muzzle. He pointed at Hoffa's head. "Nice to see you again, brother."
Hoffa raised his middle finger and smiled.
"Go back and f * ck yourself."
Bang!!
The gun fired, and the fire reflected on Hoffa's face.
The bullet was only one meter away from him.
Strangely, in the last 0.01 seconds of his life, he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he felt relaxed. It was a kind of unreserved calmness, a kind of purity that faced his own heart. The demon that troubled him for an entire year suddenly collapsed at this moment.
However, the expected scene of his brain exploding didn't appear.
The bullet spun, but stopped one centimeter away from his head.
Hoffa saw a transparent figure standing in front of him. She stretched out her hand and blocked the bullet.
Her body glowed with a hazy blue light, and ripples like water floated on her body. It was like a Mirage made of magic, or an illusory ghost.
When he turned his head, there were three figures standing beside him. One glowed with a green light, thin and short. One glowed with an earthy yellow light, slightly plump and kind. One glowed with a red light, tall and strong.
And the Hogwarts Orb was floating beside him at some point.
"Help us."
The female Mirage who blocked the bullet in front of him said softly. "Help this school."
Hoffa looked at the four Mirage in a daze. He didn't recognize three of them, but he recognized the gentle woman standing in front of him, because her statue was in his common room.
Ravenclaw.
What about the other three?
"You guys."
Silby's eyes were filled with nostalgia, and his voice was filled with vicissitudes of life. "You guys have been dead for a thousand years, and you're finally willing to come out?"
The four Mirage didn't look at him. They all stood in front of Hoffa.
A handsome and tall male Mirage pushed Hoffa's back and helped him up. He sighed in his ear. "I really hope you can wield my sword."
"Chubby Hufflepuff, bend down and place the Orb in Hoffa's hand. Hold on to your will."
Slytherin only said dryly, "Be careful."
Silby supported himself in his wheelchair and stood alone in the distance. He looked at the five people arrogantly and sneered.
"Using choice as a password and using death to filter out those who aren't suitable to be pawns. That's really your style, Ravenclaw."
Ravenclaw's illusion turned around and said indifferently, "How sad. Everything you see is black."
"Isn't it?" Silby roared.
Ravenclaw shook his head and let go of the bullet. He placed his palm on Hoffa's forehead.
"I'm proud of you," he said.
An endless amount of magic flowed into Hoffa's body from his forehead. The Orb's light completely dimmed, and the four Mirage disappeared at the same time.
Magic surged in his body. Hoffa looked at his watch, and the needle on it spun wildly.
1x，2x，3x，4x，5x！！
It was full!
What a surging magic power. He turned his head to look at Elby.
Silby moved his brain and sneered. "A group of hyenas huddling together for warmth. You want to challenge the strength of a lion? Wishful thinking!"
He instantly disappeared, and so did Hoffa.
The next second.
Bang!!
The two appeared in the middle of the island and punched each other.
The huge sonic boom caused the entire lake to churn, and the white stones on the ground shattered.
Flesh collided with steel. The bones in Huo Fa's left arm were shattered, and his skin and flesh were torn apart. He saw the cold smile on Silby's face and the indifferent gray eyes under his gray hair in the fierce wind.
Silby blocked Hoffa's heavy punch. The huge force made him bend over and sink into the stone floor.
Magic was crazily converted into life. Hoffa's bones were broken inch by inch under Silby's huge force, and at the same time, they were repaired instantly. Every time they were repaired, they became harder and harder.
Seeing Hoffa's body recovering bit by bit, Silby was not afraid at all. He held Hoffa with one hand and pressed his thigh with the other. He slowly straightened up and sneered.
"Everything is according to my plan, brother."
As he spoke, he lifted his leg. The joints on his black body were all opened, and the hidden purple magic crystal was revealed.
Boom!!
He kicked Hoffa in the chest.
Hoffa directly went through the pile of books on the ground.
He heavily smashed into the statue of Salazar Slytherin, and the statue suddenly collapsed.
Hoffa slapped the ground, and his whole body somersaulted 720 degrees in the air, avoiding the falling stones.
Then, he bent down, kicked back, and punched Silby's lower abdomen without any fancy moves.
Boom!!
Silby flew upside down and hit the tall statue of Gryffindor.
The statue was directly broken into two pieces, and heavily fell on Silby's steel body. He kicked away the stones, jumped out, and stood on the ground. He said indifferently, "Is this all you've got?"
After that, he bent down, and all the mechanical joints lit up with purple magic light. He shot back like a cannonball and suddenly appeared behind Hoffa.
"A real wizard has to learn to look behind you."
Hoffa's eyes widened, and he did not hesitate to activate Ghost Walk, but he was a second too late.
Rumble!
He was hit in the cheek by a black fist behind him. He spat out a mouthful of teeth, and his cheekbones were shattered. His whole body flew back more than fifty meters, directly out of the lake island, and directly smashed through the train that was parked on the lake. The train rumbled and swayed on the lake twice.
Hoffa rolled and fell on the tracks.
His spine was broken into three sections, and almost half of his ribs were broken. He lay on the tracks and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
The magic power in his body was transformed into a huge amount of vitality, constantly healing his injuries. His chest bulged out like an inflated doll.
In the distance, Silby did not give Hoffa any time to react. He looked at the place where Hoffa fell on the ground.
He raised his arm, which was completely split open, revealing a black hole in the muzzle. Dozens of cannonballs flew out of his arm.
The moment he passed through Ghost Walk, Hoffa floated on the lake. When he turned his head, his whole face was illuminated by the cannonballs in front of him.
Boom boom boom!!
The next second, the cannonballs hit Hoffa.
Gravel flew everywhere, smoke billowed, and water splashed everywhere. The tracks were blown into a fried dough twist, standing high on the lake.
Silby lifted his leg and jumped.
He jumped directly dozens of meters away, and heavily smashed into the lake. The tracks bent, rolling up waves several meters high.
He landed on the ground, stretched his body, and slowly walked over the tracks, his steps firm and decisive.
The rolling waves hit, blowing away the smoke of the explosion. In the billowing water vapor, a huge shadow appeared.
Silby's lips curled into a grin.
"You really didn't let me down, Hoffa Bach."
The thick fog dissipated.
The shadow gradually became clear.
It was a creature covered in metallic wings. Every feather was made of cold steel. It completely blocked the power of the explosion.
The huge wings with a metallic luster slowly opened up, up to ten meters long, revealing Hoffa's figure behind.
Silby nodded. "Interesting."
Hoffa stood up, and with the help of a huge amount of magic power, he began to try the most advanced human transformation he learned this year.
At this moment, the injuries in his body were healed with the help of Life Transformation. He looked at Silby on the white lake in the distance. He raised his head, exerted strength in his legs, and with a flap of the metal wings, he rose rapidly in the air.
Thirty meters high, the metal wings on his back quickly faded, turning into specks of blue light, floating in the air with him.
It was pure magic power.
He raised his hand and pointed, and the floating magic power gathered at Hoffa's fingertip, turning into tens of thousands of volts of electricity.
Boom!!
The high-energy ray directly swallowed the man on the tracks.
On the white lake, electricity jumped and flashed, and the free electricity in the air made people's hair stand on end.
This move had made the Dark Wizard Schmidt Rutterov lose his ability to fight on the spot last year. However, this time, Hoffa's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to slack off.
Sure enough, the water vapor dissipated. Silby stood calmly in the flying blue electric current, tilting his head. The electric current hit him, scorching his face, but it didn't change his expression at all.
He looked at the electric current on his palm, shook his head, and sighed.
"It's too scattered, these fancy abilities are useless to me, Hoffa. You still don't understand the nature of magic. "
"Okay."
Hoffa wasn't discouraged. He fell from the sky, bit his finger, and the huge Thunderbird magic power transformed and flowed in his body.
Activated state!
His whole body grew a head taller, and his bones quickly split in his body. He turned into a more complex creature. His tendons were slender, and every muscle was like steel wire. Sharp bone spurs grew out of every joint, and his fingers were pure black and sharp. His whole body was abnormally lean.
As the electric arc flashed, he raised his head slightly.
"Come on!"
He took a step, stepped on the curved track, and slid out along the lake.
Crack crack crack!
Silby's back straightened, and all his joints spurted out a surging thrust.
The two of them punched each other again!
This time, the train on the track was directly pushed over by the impact, and the lake was turbulent.
Silby's forearm was directly dislocated, and the black metal pierced through his elbow and stuffed into his upper arm. Purple electric arcs crackled, and in the air, the leaked magic power surged.
Then, Hoffa kicked Silby's chest, but his palm firmly clasped his shoulder blade.
Bang!!
With a huge crisp sound, Hoffa raised his leg and kicked.
One of his arms was forcibly torn off, and Silby flew more than a hundred meters away, smashing into the White Stone Island. The huge impact directly smashed the entire White Stone Island into pieces.
The gravel completely drowned him.
Hoffa threw away the mechanical arm, and strode forward, faster and faster. This state was a huge burden for him, as if he was doing anaerobic exercise.
"Boom!"
Silby got up from the gravel, patted the pages on his body with one hand, and looked up at Hoffa, whose body was flickering with electric light, and said calmly, "You can still do this to me when I'm in full state, as expected of the talent I've chosen."
Hoffa, who was charging forward, didn't dare to be careless.
Silby stood up, bent his knees, and opened the joints of his legs, and the magic power in the magic crystal flowed to the joints. A huge amount of energy spewed out, and the reaction force almost blew the White Stone Island into pieces.
In the midst of the explosion.
Once again, he disappeared on the spot.
Hoffa entered Ghost Walk, but Silby put one hand into his lower abdomen and held his spine.
With a cruel smile, he forcibly dragged Hoffa out of the Shadow World.
He pulled out his palm, clenched one hand into a fist, and punched Hoffa in the cheek, directly breaking his nose and all the teeth in his mouth.
Within ten seconds, Silby stepped Hoffa on the rail, the metal soles of his feet separated, and he grabbed his throat, and with one hand like a pile driver, he punched him fifty times in an instant.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!
Hoffa's entire body caved in like mud, and at the same time, it quickly recovered under the huge amount of magic power, as if it was metal with a memory. Hoffa stared at his opponent, and a metallic luster covered his body little by little.
It was Ossivia's human transformation.
Gradually, where he was hit by Silby's heavy punches, the dents became shallower and shallower, and finally, the sound of flesh breaking turned into the sound of metal clashing.
"Good punching bag."
Silby praised, then swung Hoffa's thigh and smashed him into the deserted island in the middle of the lake.
Hoffa fell from the sky at supersonic speed and smashed into the island with a boom.
White stones flew everywhere, and the statues of the Four Great Founders were completely shattered. The pile of thousand-year-old forbidden books was smashed into pieces, and the pages of the books danced high in the sky.
For a moment, the lake water flowed backward, and the whole mirror world was a mess. After a while, the surging and boiling lake water slowly calmed down.
The papers of the forbidden books fell from the sky, mixed with raindrops, and landed page by page at Silby's feet. He stood on the lake with one arm, looked at the completely smashed white island in front of him, shook his head and muttered:
"Come on, come on, come on, brother, is this not enough? Don't do this, don't do this, don't do this."
As if in response to his whisper.
Boom!!
With a loud explosion, the thick fog dispersed again, and a large amount of lightning and lake water was wrapped in it.
The one-armed Silby laughed fanatically: "Come on!!"
His voice stopped abruptly, and the winged Hoffa appeared in front of Silby in an instant, choking Silby's neck. The whites of his eyes were completely covered by a dazzling golden light, and his whole body seemed to be made of steel.
While retreating, the one-armed Silby raised his leg to sweep Hoffa's cheek, but his cheek was caught by a palm.
"It's over, Silby."
Hoffa's fingers exerted force, and Silby was stunned. His leg that was pressed against Hoffa's cheek was crushed by the palm.
Then, Hoffa's arm exerted force and directly broke Silby's right leg.
Then, he directly lifted Silby horizontally and grabbed his crotch and ribs. Blue veins popped out on his metal arm.
The activated state was at its peak.
Health 5
Health 6
Health 7
Health 8
Health 9
"Ha!"
With a loud roar, Silby was directly torn in half at the waist.
Hoffa smashed Silby's lower body with a bang, and with one hand holding Silby's neck, he lifted his upper body above the lake.
Purple electric arcs crackled, and sparks flew in all directions. Green engine oil dripped from his lower abdomen onto the lake.
"You lost."
Hoffa said: "I will tear off all your limbs, then put your head in a box and mail it to Wissengammon with an owl."
"Lost?"
With only one hand left, Silby mocked in the air: "Brother, you don't think that I will bet the soul of my Hogwarts on your punches and kicks, do you?"
Hoffa's tearing action of his left arm paused.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh."
Silby grinned: "You can use the power given to you by the four founders to have a boxing match with me, or you can save the world."
With that, he snapped his fingers with his only left arm.
Click.
As if some kind of switch had been triggered, a muffled rumbling sound came from his ears. On the mirror under his feet, specks of fire suddenly appeared, and the fire gradually grew bigger and swallowed the entire mirror.
Then, there were explosions around him. The rails exploded section by section, the statues of the four founders were swallowed by the sea of fire, and the entire White Island was turned into dust.
Huo Fa's heart had completely sunk to the bottom. He grabbed Silby by the arm tightly.
"What did you do!?"
"Nothing."
