Chapter 366: Master and Student Duel, Mixed Doubles, and Escape

Crack, crack.

The cement ground shattered beneath them. Black gelatinous substance wrapped around Dumbledore from all directions.

Dumbledore raised his hand and pushed. A silver-white light circle dispersed.

The gelatinous substance scattered like leaves in a windstorm as the white magic swept through it.

A beautiful, scantily-clad woman walked out from the black mist.

"Long time no see, my dear professor."

The woman's melodious voice surrounded Dumbledore's ears.

"Seems you've fully adapted to life as a woman," Dumbledore said. His hand produced an ebony wand.

"Of course. After all, there are so many joys to experience."

Tom extended a finger, stroking thoughtfully down her own chin.

"And you, look—you wore the ring I left at Gaunt Manor. It seems my great enemy's time grows short."

Tom's face filled with delight upon discovering Dumbledore's withered hand.

"Just a minor injury," Dumbledore said.

He waved his wand. A chain made of lightning flew out. Tom turned into black mist and dispersed.

The lightning pierced through where she had stood. The surrounding mist rapidly dissipated under the onslaught of electricity, spreading an acrid smell of ozone through the air.

"Why so brutal from the start? Surely it's because you're dying soon and eager to pave the way for your students?"

Tom appeared behind Dumbledore. Her words carried temptation and provocation.

"I remember you didn't talk this much before."

Dumbledore stabbed his wand backward like a knife. Black gelatinous substance surged from Tom's arm, forming claws.

The claws and wand collided. Magic erupted at their contact point.

"Look, professor, my powerful body. I've already mastered it. Hahahaha."

Tom laughed maniacally while attacking Dumbledore with her claws.

"But their power isn't so easy to use."

Dumbledore Apparated and disappeared. The next moment, a Silencing Charm exploded from his position.

The surrounding black mist retreated like encountering a natural enemy.

"Indeed, Aiden's magic restrains you. No wonder you fear him so much."

Dumbledore carefully observed the black mist surrounding Tom.

"Don't speak of that name!" Tom roared.

More black gelatinous substance wrapped around her. Heads made of vipers floated up from the black substance.

Claws tore through the membrane before her. Her legs merged into a snake tail, the tip swaying gently.

Dozens of snake eyes locked onto Dumbledore. An icy aura sealed the entire field.

A Gorgon stood before Dumbledore.

"Avada Kedavra!" Green light beams shot at Dumbledore.

Feeling death's aura approaching, Dumbledore also stopped holding back.

Within his body, crimson runes were infused with hateful power.

Then, under Dumbledore's thoughts of love, the hateful magic was purified. Powerful magic twisted the surrounding land.

Wave-like disturbances spread outward from Dumbledore as the epicenter, scattering Tom's Killing Curses with magical force.

A massive silver-white phoenix appeared behind Dumbledore. Its wings gently wrapped around, blocking half his face.

"Are these fragments of your past? However, given your age, how many more battles like this can you endure?"

Tom writhed toward Dumbledore, opening her eyes wide to curse him with a Gorgon's gaze.

"I can fight you for a day."

Dumbledore simply closed his eyes and used Supersensory Magic as a substitute for sight.

Then he raised his hand. A ghastly blue Fiendfyre shot from the phoenix's mouth.

"Impossible!" Tom was caught off guard, burned by the Fiendfyre.

"Why impossible? Although Aiden always teases me, I truly inherited Gellert's legacy."

Despite keeping his eyes shut, nostalgia showed on Dumbledore's face.

The silver phoenix dispersed. An elderly man holding an old wand walked out from inside.

"Enough talking. Finish her."

Standing beside Dumbledore was none other than Gellert Grindelwald, absent from the wizarding world for fifty years.

Grindelwald waved his wand. Fiendfyre swept as a magical dragon burst from the flames, savagely biting at Tom.

Tom summoned large amounts of black gelatinous substance to block.

Meanwhile, the black, gelatinous substance continued to fill her body. The red runes on her snake hair grew increasingly vivid.

A massive serpent-human rose from the black substance, simultaneously spreading four pairs of wings.

Her voice was sharp as cold wind. Her pupils completely turned purple. Magic flowed from them, revealing charming yet deadly radiance.

"Dumbledore!" Tom shouted, raising her hand to slam down.

"Truly pathetic. You've abandoned human form entirely?"

Grindelwald stood on the rooftop, both hands supporting his wand, as if holding a staff supporting the ground.

Space flickered. Dumbledore appeared beside him.

"Let's work together," Dumbledore said.

The two raised their wands together. The magical dragon and phoenix pounced on Tom together.

Sensing the approaching danger, Tom pointed all her snake heads at the incoming attacks.

Purple light beams shot from the snakes' mouths, forming a giant serpent in midair.

Then the serpent, phoenix, and magical dragon collided.

Boom.

A massive white light rose. All sound was consumed. The entire port was engulfed in white light, turning to ash.

Three collisions of the Deep Realm King's power caused the Silent Tablets worldwide to ring. Every country's Deep Realm defense sequence was activated to maximum.

At the port, the magical response hadn't ended. The white light first imploded, then expanded outward at greater speed.

Boom!

A second explosion arrived. The magical chain reaction released a massive amount of light and heat.

In a place Dumbledore and Grindelwald didn't notice, the massive Gorgon's tail cracked open slightly.

A giant python crawled out and Apparated away.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald also Apparated away.

The next moment, the Gorgon and the location where they stood were consumed by explosion.

The entire city of Klaipėda was erased from maps, leaving only a massive crater.

When Unspeakables, Ferryman, Blood Priests, Ascetics, Watchers, and others arrived at the scene, only a big crater and lingering Deep Realm power awaited them.

"Which three Deep Realm Kings' powers were involved?" Zhang Tianshi asked, looking at the Director.

"Hell, Resentment, and Chaos," the Director said. His expression was terrible.

Three figures instantly appeared in everyone's minds.

"Britain bears primary responsibility for this," an Ascetic immediately accused the Director.

"Fine. I resign effective immediately." The Director waved his hands and directly abandoned his position.

"You..." The Ascetic was left speechless.

"All right, this matter requires all our attention," Zhang Tianshi finally stepped out to mediate.

They cast together, forming a massive meteorite. Fortunately, Unspeakables had already deciphered the meteorite structure; otherwise, this fabrication would be quite difficult.

Meanwhile, Unspeakables mobilized large numbers to perform memory modification on surrounding residents, with Lithuania's Ministry cooperating with specialists.

Plus a Manipulator coordinating from the shadows, this incident was finally defined by the Muggle government as a meteor impact event and covered up.
