Chapter 163 Prepare for Trial, Tom & Arthur!
The golden light shone like two branding irons.
It pierced straight into Arthur's eyes and into his brain!
"Aaaaaah!"
Arthur couldn't help but scream, shouting in terror and anger:
"W-What is this?!"
He instinctively covered his eyes with both hands, but the golden light still managed to penetrate his skin.
Even the darkness came alive.
It kept changing and wriggling before my eyes.
In a daze.
Arthur seemed to see Ethan's figure, which was also twisting and deforming.
It transformed into the appearance of a monster, its face completely black.
Only those cobalt blue eyes, radiating an inhuman inorganic quality, looked down at him coldly and indifferently.
It became the only cool tone in this radiance that almost melted away human flesh and bones.
No, no, how could he be defeated in a single move?
Arthur clutched his cheeks with both hands, tears of golden light streaming down his face.
"How could I be defeated by a mere second-year student... How could I stop here...."
"Clatter".
The wand fell to the ground and rolled away alone to one side.
Ethan looked down at Arthur, who was kneeling on the ground, and said:
"It seems you still don't understand. Magic is the power of the soul, not age."
Lockhart, who was still an idiot at his advanced age, and Harry, who defeated Voldemort at just 17, are two stark examples.
"not to mention."
Ethan raised his hand, placing his five fingers on his chest as if introducing himself, his back ramrod straight.
He curled the corners of his mouth and said:
"I'm still a genius."
Clutching his left chest, back ramrod straight, exuding heroic spirit, he shouted, "No—!!"
Arthur raised his head like a wild beast, roared in resentment, his eyes filled with shame.
next second.
"Bang!"
The sealed wardrobe suddenly burst open from the inside, and pitch-black magic surged out!
It wrapped around Arthur, like a hatching creature!
Ethan's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly:
"That's more like it, little Tom!"
It can't end too quickly; the experience will be terrible.
Struggle, struggle with all your might.
Until they were completely exhausted, they found themselves firmly bound in the spider silk.
Only then will it bear the more delicious fruit of despair.
Ethan waved his wand and shouted:
"Flocks of birds!"
Land repair.
Golden light streaked across the sky like arrows, leaving golden streaks in the secret chamber.
"boom!"
The arrow pierced through the dark "", pinning it heavily to the wall!
Instantly.
The walls cracked, stones fell and crashed down, raising clouds of dust.
The room fell silent.
Ethan squinted, staring at the smoke and dust.
The dark magic at the core was not destroyed.
It surged and rose, mingling with Arthur's original magic.
It completely distorted his appearance.
Hey, the second phase has started.
Ethan licked his lips.
My eyes were bright as torches, and my heart was pounding like a drum, pounding against my eardrums!
Extremely excited!
"I was hoping you could live a little longer."
From within the smoke and dust came a hoarse voice that sounded like Arthur, yet also like someone else.
"I'll let you live until the real secret chamber is opened, then I'll take over your body... Too bad, you're just unlucky."
"Thump, thump".
Heavy footsteps sounded.
A figure even taller than Hagrid emerged from the smoke and dust.
Gradually approaching.
When he finally appeared before Ethan,
Ethan couldn't help but exclaim "Oh!" and widened his eyes, revealing an expression of appreciation.
Arthur's body swelled up, and his muscles bulged unnaturally.
His wizard robes were ripped open, and his bright red, bulging arm was disproportionately swollen, just like Hagrid's pumpkin, with every tendon clearly visible.
She pressed Arthur's body to one side, as if trying to wrest control of his body.
And that seems to be true.
With a soft "plop," a huge eyeball opened on that side of the shoulder.
With those snake-like, yellowish vertical pupils, it stared intently at me, filled with bone-chilling hatred and malice.
Perhaps it's because Tom has stopped being human.
That's probably why they weren't afraid of the basilisk's gaze.
Ethan felt a pang of regret.
Check it out!
The human body has ruined me!
.....
If I could make an even bigger breakthrough, I imagine Headmaster Dumbledore would collapse in joy.
Seeing that Ethan remained silent.
Arthur—
Or rather, the "Tom" who had merged into Arthur's body said smugly, "Scared stiff yet?"
"Magic isn't just about sending 'fireworks' at each other!"
Ethan blinked and said sincerely:
"I really envy you."
"Only an orphan can be so reckless."
"If I turned into this, someone would feel sorry for me~"
Tom:
"Die—!!!"
"roar!"
"Arthur," controlled by Tom, let out a furious roar!
With a single step, he appeared in front of Ethan in the blink of an eye!
He was enveloped like a mountain, and with his thick, hammer-like arm, he slammed it down!
"Portal".
Ethan murmured, and the door beneath his feet opened instantly, plunging him into the darkness.
"boom!"
A tremendous force slammed into the ground, hitting the door that wasn't fully closed.
The stone slab immediately began to vibrate in a wave-like pattern!
"Woolen cloth."
The corrupting magic invaded, causing Ethan to groan.
He raised his eyebrows, a metallic taste rising in his throat.
Arthur looked up and laughed, "How foolish of you to run into mid-air where you can't move!"
With a sudden kick, he soared into the air like a cannonball, hurtling towards Ethan!
"Hmph, who says I can't move in mid-air?"
As Ethan spoke, he held up a swirling card and shouted:
"The Nest of Fusion! Fusion between me and the Phoenix of Death!!"
Hyperfusion, even card masters can fuse!
Unfortunately, it wasn't a permanent fusion at the level of life itself, but only a temporary change.
In an instant.
An invisible shriek rang out!
"Hmm!"
Ethan cried out in pain.
I felt a sharp pain, like my bones were breaking, as they were being cracked and reassembled inside my body.
However, Ethan grinned, his eyes gleaming with excitement and madness!
From the depths of the pitch-black pupil, a ghostly blue flame suddenly burst forth.
next second.
"Plop!"
Along with the splattered blood, a pair of withered gray wings rose from Ethan's arched back!
"call!"
With a gentle wave, he instantly circled behind "Arthur".
The magic wand in his hand transformed into a silver-white, rhomboid long stick, which he thrust out with a sudden force!
The sharp point pierced Arthur's back, causing blood to splatter everywhere!
"Nya-yi-yi!!"
A scream erupted.
Ethan: "It's not over yet!"
A ball of eerie blue flame engulfed Arthur.
As if immersed in aqua regia, the swollen muscles were instantly corroded into a graphite-like substance!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the secret chamber!
In excruciating pain, "Arthur" furiously swung his arm backward.
But Ethan, having landed his blow, had already flapped his wings and vanished into the distance.
Watching "Arthur" helplessly and furiously plummet to the ground.
...This "Nest of Fusion" can temporarily boost one's strength.
However, it's not very good for depleting one's rationality.
Just like now.
Ethan was influenced by the idea of the dead bird.
Looking at "Arthur" is like looking at a big, tender, and juicy piece of meat.
Suck.
Arthur glared at Ethan in mid-air, his expression twisted with hatred, and roared, "You're asking for it!!!"
He raised his arm, and his massive left arm stretched out like a worm.
The palm split open, transforming into a gigantic mouth.
It lunged at Ethan!
Holy crap! The power of nine dragons!
Ethan's eyes widened, suppressing the saliva welling in his mouth, and he said softly:
"go."
Foggy!
The black snake head in the giant painting leaps out!
【hiss--】
With his teeth wide open and a chilling aura, he bit down on the left arm in mid-air!
With a flick of its head, it tore at the ground!
!!!
"Arthur" let out a scream that was inhuman from the pain.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Ethan, a question surfacing in his muddled mind:
Damn it, just how many dirty tricks does this kid have?
Like a torturous pit, it keeps pulling out one ingenious little gadget after another.
However, it's about time to reach the limit.
Arthur grinned as he watched Ethan fall from mid-air, his wings detached.
Such a huge consumption.
This kid definitely can't hold on.
This can be seen from the fact that he did not summon the powerful three-headed dog.
As long as you continue your relentless attack and don't give him a chance to breathe.
That damn brat will be exhausted sooner or later!
At that point, they'll be at my mercy...
The situation seems to be exactly as "Arthur" predicted.
As he poured out his life force, Ethan's offensive gradually weakened.
In the end, they resorted to magic spells to fight each other.
Finally, "Bang!"
Ethan couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying, crashing into the statue opposite him.
He fell to the ground, coughed up blood, and gasped for breath.
And this time.
Arthur—or rather, Tom—was in a terrible state.
His entire body was charred black, with blood and new tissue seeping out.
His body was covered in bloody craters from bites and explosions.
If it weren't for black magic sustaining his body, he would have died long ago.
Arthur's head had been drained of an excessive amount of life force.
It has already turned ashen and as dry as a withered tree.
But under Tom's control, the mouth still opened and closed, saying:
"Ha, I won."
He knelt down and walked step by step toward Ethan, who had fallen to the ground.
"You're still inexperienced after all; you went all out from the very beginning."
"That's why they ended up like this."
"However, to fight me, 'Voldemort,' 'Flying Over Death,' to this extent, I must commend you."
"Unfortunately. In this world, there can only be one Demon King. And that one—"
"It can only be me!"
"Die!!"
Ethan, panting, stared intently at Tom, who was smugly opening his arms to him.
It was as if a laser beam was about to shoot from his palm and blast him away.
Suddenly, he spoke:
"That's enough for the warm-up."
Tom: ?
He stopped abruptly, staring in surprise at Ethan, who was swaying as he stood up, and laughed loudly:
"Still being stubborn!"
"How pathetic, so intelligent, yet unable to recognize reality."
however.
Tom looked at Ethan's calm face and felt a chill run down his spine!
No, that's impossible...
That brat is just bluffing!
"Roar!!!"
The river of blood gushed out, crashing towards Ethan like a surging wave, threatening to completely engulf him!
The crimson hue was reflected in Ethan's cobalt blue eyes.
He whispered:
"You're the one who can't see reality."
The words fell.
A brilliant, fiery red light shone from Ethan's neck!
A bright red pendant, shaped like a curled-up spider, was revealed!
The heart of the eight-eyed giant spider!
The Spider's Heart

The power of love is boundless!
The magic flowed from the pendant into Ethan's limbs and bones.
Let the magic in Ethan's blood boil again!
It flowed down his arm, transforming the magic wand into a radiant paintbrush!
Under Tom's shocked gaze, he shouted:
"Tom, it's time for them all to stand trial!"
