Chapter 433: Grawp
“Someone! Get someone in here! We are here on Dumbledore’s orders to negotiate. You can’t treat us like this!”
“All right, Hagrid, I think you can be a bit quieter.”
The sudden voice made Hagrid jump. Madame Maxime, who had been sitting with her eyes closed inside the cell, opened them at once and smiled in the direction of the sound. “I did not expect Dumbledore to send you, Sean.”
“Professor Dumbledore and the others are trackin...

Chapter 325: Malfoy Manor
Malfoy Manor was a stately lord’s residence, its main house encircled by a meticulously planned garden. Fountains played in the gloom, and white peacocks wandered freely across the lawns. A pair of ornate wrought-iron gates stood before Dudley like a boundary between two different worlds.
"Mr Dursley, since this is your first time at Malfoy Manor, I need to lead you inside," Dobby explained.
"All right, Dobby. But from now on, you cannot call me...

Chapter 406: Ministry Infiltration (Prelude)
At Grimmauld Place, in the old Black house, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat in a circle before the fire.
"Shall we see where Aiden said the Ministry remnants are?" Hermione suggested.
Harry nodded, pulled the black-covered book Aiden had given him from the pouch, and opened it.
Ink welled up in the centre of the page. The sight brought back bad memories. For a moment, Harry wondered, half in dread, whether Ai...

Chapter 177: Arrival at Whole Cake Island!
Totto Land.
Also known as Totto Land, it was a vast kingdom built from its core island, Whole Cake Island, and thirty-four surrounding islands, each with its own distinct theme, spread across the first half of the New World.
If one ignored the fact that its ruler was Charlotte Linlin, this truly was a storybook land.
Including Whole Cake Island, all thirty-five islands had their own gourmet theme: Cheese Island, Biscuit Isla...

Chapter 176: Charlotte Linlin’s Invitation
In the span of a blink, the Charlotte family arrived.
The moment Charlotte Linlin saw Loki bound from head to toe in Sea Prism Stone chains like a small mountain, the feral snarl on her face melted away. In an instant, it flipped to a gentle, spring-breeze smile.
A true master of changing faces.
“Mama mama… Loki, you do not look so good. Let Auntie Linlin help you.”
Her tone was soft, her smile...

Chapter 175: Loki Boards the Ship
“Ragnarok!”
“Dragon Ascent!”
Red light and green light, a flood of annihilation and a sky-splitting beam, two ultimate powers representing their respective peaks slammed together without any ornament or flourish.
For a heartbeat, heaven and earth changed color. Time itself seemed to freeze.
Boom.
Words could not capture the terror of the explosion that followed. It was the only thing that existed.

Chapter 174: VS Loki II
“Feel honored. This is the first time I’ve used this form outside Elbaf.”
Loki’s voice rumbled like molten rock, dripping with absolute confidence.
He raised his warhammer high. Flames surged up its length, turning the head a blinding, molten red, heat rolling off it in suffocating waves.
“Die, insect!”
With that thunderous roar, the burning hammer came crashing down.
At the same time, a colossal pillar of flame erupted...

Kai only wagged a finger lazily at Loki’s challenge. “They call me ‘Calamity.’ I don’t argue with them about that. But you, Loki…”
His tone shifted, carrying a king’s weight. “If you ...

His place was taken by Brand, who had already won his own share of merit and esteem.
At his investiture, Brand drew the Dragonflame sword that had come down to him from his father, Bain, and laid it before him.

Kael shifted at once into phoenix form and wheeled above Saruman, then opened his beak and breathed out a blossom of red‑gold fire.
The flames felt warm rather than searing to those watching, but Saruman’s face twisted in terror. He thrashed against the cage of light, desperate to get away.
This was Kael’s truest flame, the phoenix’s rebirth fire, the power that fuelled its own resurrection. It could heal and restore life, but it could also ...

“But I have seen a line or two in old books. They live on the unmapped snowfields of the far North and almost never cross the mountains. Folk in Middle-earth have little chance of ever meeting them.”

Gandalf was not one to lose sight of what mattered.
Precisely because he had confirmed that much, he had not rushed, but remained in Gondor a while longer.
After leaving Gondor, he rejoined Aragorn.
Together, they began searching every place Gollum had ever been seen. Their tracks ranged east of the Misty Mountains, fro...

Just like that, Aragorn was whisked away by Gandalf.
They left Roadside Keep together and headed east, following faint traces and old rumours.

Gandalf shook his head helplessly.
It seemed the fellow had not been short of unwanted company of late.

“Frodo, I am not as good as you think I am.”
One night in Bag End, while Frodo slept, Bilbo lit the lamp in his study and began to write a letter.
“I do not even know what made me reach this decision, but it is certainly not kindness. Perhaps it is simply that, of all my kin whose names bear ‘Baggins’, you alone seem to have the true Baggins spirit.”
“So I have decided to leave Bag End, and all that I own, in your keeping.”

Every spell Edward had learnt, Saruman could cast, and with frightening power, not much weaker than Kael’s own.

But the wand itself, bound to Edward by long companionship, still carried Edward’s ...
