Chapter 210 A Shocking Explosion! Chains That Snag Souls!
Just as the three professors and Sirius Black each released their guardian spirits and retreated, the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan burst straight out of the crack in the ground.
His appearance aged another ten years. Holding the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner with increasingly terrifying energy fluctuations, surrounded by blood-black, chilling ghostly energy, he soared into the sky, heading straight for the Ghost King above.
Meanwhile, the Ghost King in the sky temporarily repelled Dali's orca guardian with a single claw and rushed downwards, intending to merge with Mo Xuan in a two-way rush.
Dali was flying in mid-air, relatively close to Mo Xuan, and of course he couldn't just sit idly by and watch the enemy complete his transformation.
Immediately, another Guardian Spell was unleashed, condensing a wave of silvery-white guardian energy. Together with the four Guardian Gods of different forms released by the three professors and Sirius, they intercepted the energy, attempting to sever the contact between Mo Xuan and the Ghost King.
At the same time, the orca guardian spirit that Dudley had been knocked away angrily spewed out water-like protective energy and charged at the Ghost King again, wanting to use its two large and wide pectoral fins to slap the Ghost King twice across the face.
"It's no use, you know nothing about the power of the Myriad Souls Banner!"
The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan let out a frenzied roar, ignoring the guardians' attempts to stop him, and swung the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner as he charged forward.
The blood-black radiance and the silvery-white energy collided rapidly, resulting in a tremendous explosion.
A powerful energy wave spread rapidly outward in a spherical shape from the center of the explosion. Wherever it passed, trees were snapped and blown away, shrubs and meadows turned to ashes, and even the ground was scraped away.
Dudley activated the Triple Armor Spell and flew more than two hundred meters away in the direction of the explosion's shockwave.
He then swiftly drew circles in the air, summoning a spatial passage that rejected all entry, which he placed in front of him. He curled up and floated behind this 'shield' that was practically absolute defense, thus surviving the earth-shattering explosion.
The three professors and Sirius were warned by Dudley to retreat in advance, so they received much less impact from the explosion than Dudley. However, they still suffered the destruction of their multiple armored charms and were blown far away.
The formation could not be maintained, and the four were scattered by the explosion.
After the explosion, Dudley emerged from behind the black tunnel, shaking off a layer of black ash from his outer Ironclad Charm energy shield.
He can only construct one spatial passage at a time, which can block the area in front of him but cannot protect his sides.
The explosion was incredibly powerful. The spatial passage withstood the impact in front of it, but it was powerless against the explosive shocks that passed through the edges of the passage and deflected inwards.
These lateral attacks continued for some time, breaking through Dudley's half-weight Ironclad Charm shield and covering the translucent white shield with a layer of black ash.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, and Dali himself wasn't injured.
At this moment, the power of the earth-shattering explosion had been exhausted, and dust and charred debris slowly fell, gradually revealing the situation at the center of the explosion.
Mo Xuan, who was holding the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner, was gone, but the giant ghost king with a blue face and fangs was still there, and he had changed his appearance.
The Ghost King's body is now covered in blood-red patterns, giving him an even more tangible, fleshy appearance. He also wields a weapon—a long-handled, ghost-headed giant axe—from which faint sounds of ghostly wails and wolf howls can be heard.
"You filthy foreigners who ruined my plans! Today I'll chop you to pieces! Then I'll extract your souls, collect them into the Myriad Souls Banner, refine them into ghost generals, and enhance the power of my magic weapon!"
The arrogant words of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan emanated from within the Axe-wielding Ghost King.
He sounded full of energy, as if the earth-shattering explosion had had no effect on him or the Ghost King.
"Everyone, retreat! Back to the castle! Don't get entangled with this man!"
Dudley activated the 'Loud Voice' spell, amplifying his voice dozens of times, and shouted loudly in English to remind his teammates.
Then he pointed directly at the axe-wielding demon king who was rushing towards him from two hundred meters away, gathering all his malevolent malice to incinerate everything, and loudly chanted a spell:
"Vulcan clears the way!"
The blazing, eerie crimson flames were summoned by Dali, transforming into fire dragons and phoenixes, viciously pouncing on the axe-wielding demon king.
He wasn't using ordinary flames, but fierce fire.
Fiendfire formed from the dark magic Fiendfire spell!
It is extremely difficult to extinguish, and the more it burns, the stronger it becomes!
After unleashing his fiery entanglement on the axe-wielding demon king, Dudley sensed that the three professors and Sirius Black had moved far away. He then ceased his fight, his body transforming into a blur as he purposefully flew towards a specific location in the distance.
That was the predicted location of the giant serpent Nagini.
Before the explosion, Dali controlled the tall, sword-wielding, armored warrior that Smetin's staff had transformed into to capture the bound serpent Nagini.
Judging from the vague feedback from the transformation, the armored warrior must have completed the task assigned to him.
It's unclear whether the giant snake Nagini is alive or dead, or whether it has been charred by the energy from the explosion.
Dudley flew at an extremely fast speed, and soon he saw the armored warrior clinging tightly to the giant snake Nagini, lying on a patch of scorched earth.
The armored warrior has now been forcibly 'slimmed down', his body covered in charred and damaged marks.
The giant snake Nagini in its arms was not much better off. Its scales were no longer green, but charred black, and it remained motionless. The Voldemort fragment within its body was also silent.
It looks like it's really turned into a dead snake!
Dali didn't really care whether Nagini was alive or dead. As long as he got a part of the snake's body, he could revive her when the conditions were right and complete the regret event.
However, as a living Horcrux, Nagini still serves as a Horcrux test subject for Dudley at present.
Furthermore, Dudley didn't want a Voldemort split soul with its own thoughts, memories, and body to be running rampant outside uncontrollably.
It would be best to eliminate them now, or capture them and put them under control.
"Heart-piercing and bone-scraping!"
After a moment's thought, Dali cast the Cruciatus Curse on the giant serpent Nagini.
The purpose of this Cruciatus Curse is not to torture, but to confirm whether the serpent Nagini is alive or dead.
As a result, when the Cruciatus Curse struck Nagini, her serpentine body did not react, but instead triggered an unexpected change.
A long chain of souls suddenly appeared.
The chain was filled with ghostly energy; one end had long since pierced Nagini's body, while the other end stretched into the distance, its edge nowhere in sight.
Following the direction of the chains, one could see the axe-wielding demon king surrounded by raging flames.
"You treacherous little foreigner! I was prepared for this! You think you can steal my precious soul right under my nose? You're dreaming!"
The voice of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan came from the distant fire, making Dali's expression extremely ugly.
Before Dali could react, the extremely long soul chain embedded in Nagini's body suddenly contracted.
Dudley pulled Voldemort's fragmented soul from Nagini's charred snake body right before his eyes.
Voldemort's split soul coalesced into a black, smoke-like, noseless monster face, squealing and cursing incessantly.
It also emitted waves of dark magic, tightly holding onto Nagini's soul, which was still inside the snake's body, resisting the dragging of the soul chains.
But the arm can't twist the thigh; judging from the situation, it's only a matter of time before the Soul Chains pull Nagini's soul out along with Voldemort's split soul.
