Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1337: Purification at the Cost of Life



But he couldn't give up, and there was no way to give up.

This was a war he could not afford to lose. If Braxius failed to defeat Evan, he would face attacks from all the wizards present.

Originally, according to his plan, as long as he acted swiftly enough, he wouldn't be detected.

But now the Great Hall was completely shrouded in holy light. Once he withdrew his magic, the residual magical energy of such magnitude would undoubtedly be noticed by the wizards.

No matter what explanation he gave, no one would believe it, not even Malfoy who was secretly in cahoots with him.

Under such circumstances, it was already very unusual that Salazar Slytherin, who had left earlier, had not returned.

Braxius no longer cared about being on guard against Slytherin in the dark, he only knew he had to win.

Otherwise, let alone facing so many wizards, if a fight really broke out, he would not even be sure to overpower any of the Founders of Hogwarts.

By then, he wasn't sure how much strength he would have left to fight.

As he moved, the dark golden glow within the pillar of light surrounding Evan began to condense under the overwhelming magical force. Gradually, it formed the shape of a book.

Clutching his staff tightly, Braxius sent several more beams of light crashing onto Evan.

Now it was visible — still not completely clear, but faintly recognizable. …

The origin of this high-level magic item was a book, and numerous legendary books flashed through Braxius's mind.

He couldn't be sure which one Evan had on him, but considering its rank, whatever it was, it would shake the entire Wizarding World once it appeared. He had to determine the name of the book. Braxius made up his mind and mobilized all his magic power without reservation.

A torrent of magic poured out from the scepter in his hand, and Braxius felt unprecedented pain. He knew this was because he had used most of the magic power, pushing his body to its limits. After all, he was just a mortal, not a god. There was a limit to the strength that his body and mind could withstand.

Although the magic power in the scepter seemed to have no end, if it continued, he might be finished.

Should that be enough? This much power should be enough to make this legendary magic item visible.

There couldn't possibly be anything more after this. A girl like her couldn't carry anything higher-grade than this legendary magic item. …

Absolutely not, Braxius assured himself. Even His Holiness the Pope wouldn't possess a higher-grade magic item.

Inside the Great Hall, beams of light fell on Evan one after another, and the light at his location became extremely dazzling.

Evan had closed his eyes long ago and lost control of his body.

In fact, it wasn't just Braxius. Under the huge pressure of magic, Evan felt his body nearing its limit as well!

A large amount of pure magic power rushed towards him, flowing into all the magic items he was carrying through his body.

It was only thanks to this that he hadn't been crushed by this huge amount of magic power. However, as Braxius pressed on, it became increasingly difficult for him to endure.

The huge amount of magic power turned into substantial pressure, squeezing him from all directions.

The skin, flesh, and bones were being compressed by magic power, which was a sensation he had never experienced before.

If this continued, Evan feared he might either be reduced to a lump of flesh or transformed into a being composed purely of magic.

Under the control of his will, the physical form of theBook of Abrahamfloated out, hovering in front of him.

Countless streams of magic surged wildly into the book through the pillar of light, causing its dark golden glow to grow increasingly intense.

Evan actively took the book into his hands, hoping it could absorb all the magic and alleviate his pain.

But no, there was too much magic power coming from all directions!

"Meow!" The cat's cry sounded at the right time, and a green light flashed before Evan's eyes.

"It's that strange cat!" This was Evan's only thought at this moment. Because the oppression of magic was too painful, he no longer had the energy to think about anything else. But soon he found that his pain was relieved, and the magic power pressing from all directions began to weaken, and the oppressive force on Evan gradually decreased.

'What's going on?!' Evan looked at the green cat in front of him in surprise, and the magic power was flowing into his body.

He was sharing Evan's burden, and his body became more and more substantial.

But this didn't seem to be what the cat wanted. He bared his teeth and let out another couple of cries, his voice laced with anger.

At the same time, theBook of Abraham, which had remained closed as it floated in front of Evan, suddenly opened. …

In contrast to Evan, who felt the pressure easing, Cardinal Braxius, standing on the high platform, was completely speechless.

He didn't need to rely on perception anymore — he could finally see the cat. It wasn't some illusion; it was undeniably real. He also felt the changes occurring within the pillar of light surrounding Evan. Apart from extreme shock, Braxius didn't know how to express his current feelings.

He swore that even if a god descended into this world, he would not have been as stunned as he was now.

Another legendary magic item — an existence surpassing all ranks. Evan, this … monster…

"Meow!"

What in the world was this green cat? Braxius had no time to ponder!

Because with his appearance and his cries, he found that his magic had gone out of control. He could neither pause nor continue to direct. More and more magic power surged from his scepter into his body. The holy light filling the Hall grew even stronger.

At the same time, changes also occurred among the three Founders of Hogwarts, who had always been calm.

Almost as if coordinated, the legendary magic items in their light columns began to actively absorb Braxius's magic power.

"Stop it!No, no, no!!!"

Braxius was horrified to discover that as he lost control of his magic, he also lost control of his body.

It was as if something had taken over him and he was now using magic recklessly. Braxius felt unprecedented divine power and immense magic, but for the first time he felt fear of this power. This was not what he wanted.

He couldn't explain it, but Braxius felt pain, and then the pain disappeared immediately, leaving only warmth.

He lowered his head and saw that, starting from his feet, his body was rapidly melting under the overwhelming magic power.

The so-called warmth he felt was the sensation of his body dissolving. …

It was terrible, he was melting like a candle, Braxius stared with wide eyes as he watched himself disappear bit by bit.

This terrifying sensation was indescribable to anyone who hadn't experienced it firsthand. Not even the most evil Dark magic could produce such an effect. Braxius's vitality was rapidly draining away, while the surrounding magical energy only grew stronger.

Under the joint efforts of Evan, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, all the magic power in the scepter in Braxius's hand was sucked out, along with his life force. …

In his final moment of life, he raised his head. Amid the radiant white light, he saw a god hovering above the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

His already dim and lifeless eyes reignited with hope. He offered everything he had to the divine figure.

And here, this Wizarding School, would definitely be purified!

In the last scene in front of him, Braxius saw that the Great Hall — originally illuminated by beams of light — transformed into a space filled entirely with brilliant white radiance.
