Chapter 89: Forgiving you is Merlin's business; I'll take responsibility for sending you to see Merlin.

"Ah—. Ah ah—"

Hamburg uttered meaningless syllables, his eyes wide open, an endless fear rising from the depths of his heart.

It was as if I was facing not a ten-year-old child, but an indescribable monster!

The wands fell to the ground with a thud.

There is no need to fight anymore.

The opponent is a monster or demon that can withstand even the strongest killing curse.

What can he do?

For the first time in my life.

As a Slytherin student selected for the Challenger Tournament, and a noble pure-blood.

For the first time, Hamburger felt so small and so powerless.

"No, please, please—I was just momentarily bewitched—"

He knelt down on the ground.

He pleaded incoherently, tears streaming down his face.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into my mind.

"It's the Pig's Head Bar—yes! I was cursed by a hooded man at the Pig's Head Bar!"

Upon hearing this...

Ethan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Pig Head Bar, hooded men

It sounds like Hagrid in the original story also encountered this person and was tricked into revealing the secret of Fulve the Cerberus.

Is this describing you? A Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who acts differently in public and in private?

And so this "wild man" is actually a Hogwarts student?!

How did it turn out like this...?

but.

The other party didn't seem to be under a soul-stealing curse.

Perhaps it's just that the evil thoughts that were already in one's heart have been amplified.

Seeing that Ethan had reacted, a glimmer of hope rose in Hamburg's bloodshot eyes.

"Yes, Ethan, that's it! I'm only just realizing it now!"

"I'm being controlled! This isn't what I wanted to do!"

Listening to the other party's heart-wrenching explanation, Ethan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled:

"fine."

Merlin will forgive you.

"And I will take care of getting you to Merlin."

Hamburg's smile froze, and the hopeful light in his eyes vanished instantly.

"No, please, have mercy, no—"

Before our eyes, a great golden light shone.

It was like a judgment from the gods.

Like a wheel crushing an ant, it irresistibly and forcefully engulfs it.

"Bang!!!"

Outside the mansion.

Auror John Dexter, who had been waiting outside, suddenly stood up, staring in shock at the scene before him!

The base of the mansion suddenly exploded, and smoke and dust billowed out like a flood bursting its banks!

It shone with golden light, surrounded by countless shimmering tassels.

Like an arrow, it shot into the dark night sky, the enormous impact causing the surrounding viscous swamp to ripple slowly.

What happened again?!

Delilah gritted his teeth, and with a "snap," he Apparated and arrived outside the mansion.

Coughing, constantly waving away the smoke and dust, his heart filled with anxiety:

Please don't let anything else happen, his salary isn't enough to cover the deductions... ::

however.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The scene that came into view shattered Delixi's illusions completely.

A young man covered in blood was pinned to the ground by a golden arrow.

His hands and feet were broken, his limbs were twisted, and he was pierced by a sharp arrow.

His eyes stared blankly, filled with a terrifying fear!

No need to go to San Mungo.

Even Delilah could tell at a glance that this man was beyond saving.

"What...what exactly happened?" Delilah said, trembling. "An attack by a black wizard?"

However, looking at the golden bird still hovering in mid-air, he couldn't help but roar in his heart—where did they train such a dark wizard to use such holy magic?!

Suddenly.

Deli suddenly seemed to sense something.

Looking up, I met the gaze of a figure standing atop the ruins.

The newcomer stood there quietly, with handsome features.

However, despite his slender figure and youthful face, he exuded a cold and stern aura.

The immense, surging magic around him made Delilah tremble with fear.

Looking down at me with those cobalt blue eyes, I was like a field mouse being watched by an eagle, unable to move.

This accident will definitely be investigated.

But at this moment, Delilah just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Under the gaze of that figure, Delizi slowly squatted down and grabbed the young man's limp arm.

Then, with a snap, the phantom disappeared.

Tiny specks of black substance drifted into Ethan's body.

This made the light inside Ethan's head shine even brighter.

You gathered the darkness and lit the lamp.

You have illuminated more hidden places and obtained the secret treasure: Star's Splendor

【Starry Night Pigment】

A mineral pigment made from a meteorite that fell from deep space emits magnificent colors that are not fully visible to the human eye.

Extraordinary pigments required for level 2 paintings and above

A slender, elegant glass bottle floated in mid-air.

A silvery liquid flows inside.

When Ethan gazed at it, he saw countless indescribable splendors, like a kaleidoscope.

It's as if all the colors in the universe, whether perceptible or imperceptible to humans, are contained within it.

"So beautiful...!"

Ethan muttered.

He carefully reached out and took it, staring at it with fascination, unable to put it down.

This is the best gift.

Ethan couldn't help but smile, his heart filled with joy.

"I've figured out how to deal with you, Professor Quirrell..."

Ethan murmured, a sudden inspiration striking his mind.

"Isn't your ultimate goal to steal the Philosopher's Stone? The journey to the Philosopher's Stone is filled with challenges left to Harry by Dumbledore, and they're all very simple."

"Then, I'll rearrange it."

"Using the newly learned second-tier murals, we will create a challenge that matches your abilities."

"Hehehe..."

.

Ethan grinned with delight and tightened his grip on the glass bottle.

There was not a sound around.

All living things hid, afraid to make a sound; a deathly silence reigned.

At this time.

A ray of morning light appeared in the clouds, shining down on the earth and bathing Ethan.

Ethan tilted his head back and took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain.

He laughed heartily:

"It's dawn."

What a fun challenge!

I'll come again next time.

Ethan took out the key and was about to teleport away.

My gaze shifted and I suddenly noticed something stuck in the ruins.

"Um?"

Ethan bent down and picked it up.

They discovered it was a broken magic wand.

"It seems......to be the wand of that dark wizard student from earlier?"

Ethan thought for a moment, then put it in his pocket.

Maybe we'll need it.

Goodbye, my beloved home. Now, I'm off to claim my own glory.

Ethan turned his head and waved reluctantly towards the mansion.

Then, he poured magic into the key and vanished in a flash.

Not long after Ethan left.

Gemma Farley and Penelope left hastily, their expressions somewhat complicated, teleporting away one after the other.

then.

"Boom—!"

The mansion collapsed.

It's like an old man who has stood for thousands of years and finally breathed his last.

Wood chips broke and dust flew everywhere.

Everything was buried in ruins and mud.

Return to dust.

"Smack."

Still feeling uneasy after much deliberation, Delito teleported back to the mansion. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the collapse of the residence: Delito: ? ? !

Everyone was dumbfounded.

After a long while, he murmured blankly:

"I wonder if Gringotts can provide loans..."

This job is so awful, I can't even go a day without it.

Outside the swamp of corruption, at the starting point.

Cedric, who had been eliminated before even entering the mansion, stared intently in the direction of the Great Swamp.

He clenched his fists with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.

Ethan hasn't come out yet... Did something happen to him, or will he get a ranking?

Can it make the top ten?

For some unknown reason, many contestants were sent to San Mongol as soon as they left the dense forest.

Cedric had no idea what had happened.

He reasoned rationally:

"I think I lost this time, but I don't think I'm that far behind Ethan."

"I guess it's just the difference between tenth and eleventh place."
