Chapter 381: Percy's Most Terrifying Episode! Ethan Has Special Door-Opening Skills
"Huh? What's that sound?"
Inside the cave, Percy looked up warily.
Through the thick rock slabs, it seemed as if a faint vibration could be heard.
And a faint shout.
It seemed as if some kind of chaos had occurred in Azkaban.
at the same time.
A bright light reflected off the rock face in front of them.
It seemed to emanate from afar, dazzlingly bright, making even the salt crystals condensed on the rock face shimmer with a brilliant light.
It far surpassed the glow of the wand in his hand.
"Glug."
Percy swallowed hard, his heart pounding.
A sense of unease and fear grew stronger and stronger.
To bolster his courage, he muttered to himself, "Once I find Ethan, I'll definitely have a good talk with him..."
'
"With such outstanding talent, how can you not use it for good! If you wholeheartedly serve the Ministry of Magic, you'll definitely be given an important position!"
"To do something that ruins one's future is utterly foolish."
In the midst of conversation.
Percy adopted a haughty air.
People who believe that they are "loyal and devoted" and "willing to break with even their own families" are the truly "correct" ones.
however.
In just two minutes.
The noise from above grew even more intense!
"Do not move--!"
"Are you all insane?! You're all petrified!"
"Aaaaaah!"
The noise came from the rock wall, a chaotic mix of roars and the thuds of spells being struck!
"What happened?" Percy looked up, astonished. "Is there a riot in Azkaban? That can't be!"
Even without the Dementors watching over them.
Azkaban's prison was also quite sturdy, and was enchanted with multiple spells.
These wandless prisoners could not possibly break through it.
But soon.
Percy felt the ground beneath his feet shaking!
It was as if countless feet were simultaneously treading across the ground, rushing towards this place without looking back!
Gravel fell from above with a soft rustling sound.
What Percy then saw was a wave of prisoners surging towards him!
Among those ashen, skull-like faces, their eyes gleamed with a blinding golden light!
It almost stretched out as a continuous golden wave!
Percy's eyes widened in terror as he staggered backward, shouting in shock, "W-what's going on! Don't come any closer—there are too many obstacles!"
He frantically waved his wand, but as soon as the spell knocked one person down, another immediately took their place!
They were clearly alive, yet they seemed like controlled, undead corpses!
They ran towards this direction numbly and quickly!
"Aaaaaahh ...
Percy was knocked to the ground and was then wrapped up by countless arms and legs!
They were forced to run forward together!
He stretched out his arms desperately, just like a drowning person!
Unable to resist, I was swept up in this golden wave!
—They're insane! They've all fucking gone mad!!
Azkaban, known as "invincible," has indeed experienced a prisoner riot!
How did they manage to escape?
And why, as if possessed, did they frantically rush towards this underground cave?
Percy was swept up and down in the crowd.
Upon closer inspection, he felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of those numb cheeks gleaming with golden light!
It was as if that dazzling golden light had washed away all self-awareness.
It has become the most loyal being, like a puppet.
Finally, after who knows how much time had passed.
The crowd came to a stop.
"Ho, ho, ho ah—!"
Percy crawled out weakly and with difficulty, his eyes blurry and his face bruised and swollen.
It was like playing football the whole way, except he was the football, and he was practically being kicked around by the ball!
"What exactly is going on...?"
"
Percy shakily raised his head, his vision blurred.
A figure appeared, standing still.
"Are you a new prisoner? You haven't been brainwashed yet. Looks like your faith isn't very strong."
A familiar, clear voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the figure bent down slightly.
She stretched out her fair hand to him.
Golden light shimmered in his palm.
...This hand has long, slender fingers and distinct knuckles.
It was clearly completely different from the hunched, claw-like hands of the man-eating old witches in the storybooks.
It's like the hand of a noble young master, utterly harmless.
But in that instant, it instilled in Percy an immense sense of fear!
Just before your palm touches yourself.
Percy blurted out, "It's...it's me! Ethan! Percy Weasley!!!"
The words fell.
The hand stopped.
Immediately afterwards, she grabbed his collar!
He lifted it up suddenly, like picking up a chick!
A blurry vision appeared, revealing Ethan's handsome smiling face.
Ethan: "What's Percy doing here? And he looks like a toad!"
"You must be faking it! How dare you! Watch me show you the power of art!"
Percy:
'
'
Injustice!
He became like this because he was beaten by prisoners!
Percy shuddered, a genuine sense of fear finally welling up inside him.
He protested urgently, "I am Percy! If you don't believe me, use detection magic on me, or just heal me!"
Under the gaze of Ethan's cold, indifferent cobalt blue eyes, Percy's legs trembled like leaves, and he felt as if every second was an eternity!
He finally realized, belatedly:
If Ethan really is a vicious and ruthless villain.
How could we possibly reminisce about our past relationship?
Percy: *sobs*
Just as his fear reached its peak, and he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, clinging to Ethan's leg.
Suddenly, Ethan flashed a bright, sunny smile.
He laughed out loud twice.
Putting Percy down, and seeing his bewildered expression, the two patted him on the shoulder like buddies: "Hahaha! I was just kidding, of course I recognize you, Percy! My friend!"
talking.
Ethan winked playfully at Percy: "Isn't it interesting~?"
Percy: ? ? ?
...It wasn't just "interesting," it nearly scared the soul out of me!!
"What...what are you doing, Ethan!"
Percy called out in a trembling voice, and once he was sure Ethan seemed to remember him, his tone immediately became a bit lecturing.
She first cast a healing spell on herself, then crossed her arms and said sternly, "Do you know your second trial is about to begin! And you're still fooling around here!"
"Oh?"
Ethan raised an eyebrow and said regretfully, "So soon? I haven't had enough fun in Azkaban yet."
Percy said seriously, "That's not funny, Ethan."
Ethan: "I'm not kidding!"
Percy: ?
The two stared at each other for a while.
Percy took a deep breath and felt a throbbing pain in his head!
It's like talking to a being from another dimension!
In short!
Percy grabbed Ethan's arm, turning him around as he said, "You're coming back to the Ministry of Magic right now, apologize to the Minister, and accept the verdict of the second trial! That way, you can leave this hellhole!"
Incidentally, this highlights his contributions.
Percy couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile, and the thought of being able to show off in front of everyone made him hum involuntarily.
then.
He turned his head.
He looked at a numb, blank face.
—No, not just one.
Instead, there were hundreds of faces!
Like a silent wall, there were the prisoners who ran up to him and kicked him like a football.
At that moment, she stood silently behind him.
They formed walls that blocked the way.
A strange light flickered in their eyes.
"6
""
For an instant.
Percy was so frightened that his mind went blank and his body froze on the spot.
They stared blankly at these terrifying figures.
My thoughts finally came to a turn.
Why did they go so deep underground?
Who exactly is responsible for this situation...?
Percy slowly turned his head.
In the clear vision that returned, the smiling face of the black-haired boy appeared.
I also saw it clearly in the notebook he had opened in his hand.
The brilliant light it released.
Ethan Vincent!!
This "imprisoned" new savior is actually the mastermind behind the massive riots that swept through Azkaban!
"These...all of these are under your control?"
Percy's voice trembled, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Facing that thick wall of people, I was breathing heavily.
I finally realized how ridiculous and powerless his words had been!
...able to easily break through Azkaban's defenses, and like brainwashing, control countless vicious criminals.
With such power, Ethan has no need to curry favor with the Ministry of Magic!
Rather, it's more accurate to say...
The Ministry of Magic should be trying to curry favor with Ethan!
until now.
Percy then understood.
Why, when there are many outstanding seniors, was he, a newcomer, specifically chosen to contact Ethan?
This is a complete dead end!
In complete silence.
Ethan's clear voice rang out: "Why are you leaving, Mr. Percy? The feast is just beginning."
Ethan raised the corners of his mouth.
His azure eyes were fixed on the young man who had caused the Weasleys so much heartache.
I shifted my gaze to the prisoners whose lamps were gleaming.
He opened his arms wide and said, slowly and deliberately, "Go."
"Offer up your defiled souls and burn yourselves."
"Open the door to my advancement for me!"
