Chapter 190 Big Explosion

Snape, who had become Slughorn, waited for Lily to arrive in an empty classroom.

He naturally did not enter the Gryffindor common room, but asked a painting in the castle to help him call Lily out of the girls' dormitory.

Not long after, there was a gentle sound of pushing the door, and Lily, wearing a robe over her pajamas, poked her head in.

"Professor Slughorn? You're still looking for me so late? And why aren't you in your office?"

From the tone, it can be heard that Lily is indeed very familiar with Slughorn.

Snape tried to smile as much as possible, trying to show the gentle smile that Slughorn usually showed.

"I have something to ask you, Lily, come on, sit down here."

Even though Snape had tried his best, Lily still looked at him with a strange expression.

"Professor, are you in a bad mood? It feels like you are forcing a smile."

Snape said reluctantly.

"Some accidents did happen, but they are not important. I have something to give you."

He did not say anything extra. The more he talked, the easier it would be to reveal the truth. So he went straight to the point and took out the lab notebook that Sherlock had given him from his pocket.

"Take this thing and try to learn the contents before graduation! It will help you one day in the future."

Lily took the lab notebook from him with a puzzled look on her face, and simply flipped through it, but could not see any clues.

"Why do you give me this? The magic about the soul is generally very profound, and I can't seem to learn it for the time being."

"You have to work hard to learn it even if you can't learn it. I can't tell you the specific reason, but it is very important to you!"

Lily felt a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions and put the notebook into her pocket.

Snape continued to exhort with a serious expression.

"This thing must be kept well, don't let anyone find it, no matter who it is, and don't mention it to anyone later, including myself!"

Hearing him emphasize this, Lily's expression became even more confused.

But out of trust in Slughorn, she still nodded hesitantly.

"Okay, I understand."

The scene fell silent. Originally, Snape should have completed his mission and left at this time, but he struggled and didn't want to leave directly.

He showed a stiff smile on his face, and he was eager to talk to Lily for a while, as if this was his only chance.

"How are you...living in school recently?"

......

Sherlock stared at Eddie.

"There are a lot of people, and you are not like me. It's dangerous to go there."

Eddie didn't show any nervousness on his face at this time, but he laughed easily.

"Do you remember the three sentences I said to you that night?"

Sherlock nodded silently.

"I am an Auror in the magic world. My responsibility is to fight against these people, so I can't retreat at this time and hide behind you." Eddie said calmly but powerfully, "No matter what the reason is, I should stand in front with you!"

Thinking back to the time since he met Eddie, after getting along for so long, Sherlock also saw his character clearly, and knew that persuading him to retreat at this time was equivalent to mocking him.

So, he finally nodded.

"But don't be stubborn. If you have to give up something, cherish your life and think more about Amy."

Eddie's smile was a little bitter.

"I haven't forgotten that I am still a father, although I have never been competent from the beginning."

"It's good that you know it yourself."

They didn't say anything more. They left the lighted hall together and walked back into the dark maze.

Under Bella's leadership, the Death Eaters' speed was not much slower than Sherlock and his team.

Mrs. Selwyn, who was brought back by Barty, had a very comprehensive memory. Not only did she know the location of each door, but she also had a complete route to pass through the maze.

Just when they were about to reach the end and walk out of the maze, hundreds of bright lights suddenly flashed in the darkness ahead!

It was not until those lights came on that Sherlock's belated spell came over.

"Thunder Explosion!"

The walls in the maze were very strong. He had tried many times before, but he couldn't blast them open with the explosion spell.

So with the wall between them, Sherlock could control the wands unscrupulously and let them use the explosive spell in front of the wall on the Death Eaters' side without worrying about affecting himself and Eddie.

The darkness here can absorb light sources, even if it suppresses his control magic a little, but even if it suppresses it, the control magic can extend to a distance of about eight meters.

Within a radius of eight meters, the darkness is equivalent to no longer existing for him, and he can directly observe the positions of those Death Eaters.

Hundreds of explosive spells exploded in silence like fireworks blooming in the night sky, on the straight road where Bella led the Death Eaters!

The light was swallowed up by the strange darkness again the moment it lit up, but the huge roar that followed suddenly sounded as if it would pierce people's eardrums!

"Boom!!!"

The whole world seemed to be shaking, and even Eddie and Sherlock had to hold on to the wall beside them to prevent themselves from being shaken to the ground by the earth-shaking tremor.

The Death Eaters who faced this scene felt it more directly!

The moment the light came on, Bella's face changed drastically, and an uncontrollable sense of panic rose in her heart!

In just one second, she made an extremely correct decision, and fell backwards, falling under the Death Eater who was only half a shoulder behind her.

As she landed, the other Death Eaters just reacted.

But it was too late!

The shock wave that was enough to tear everything apart, accompanied by the scorching heat wave, ravaged the entire corridor!

The partition wall closest to the center of the explosion could not withstand the almost devastating power, and the wall suddenly collapsed, and countless debris like stones were blown everywhere.

The Death Eaters were still some distance away from the most powerful explosion, but when the wave spread to where they were, the Death Eaters walking in front suddenly lit up with orange light shields.

These armor spells took effect immediately, but even the wall could not stop the power, and the Death Eaters' armor spells could not last for two seconds, and they were broken!

The iron masks on the faces of the three Death Eaters standing in the front and the black robes on their bodies were directly blown to pieces, and the whole person was almost unrecognizable. The face and front body were all bloody and fleshy, and they died on the spot and fell on their backs.

The corridor was very narrow, and there were many Death Eaters, so the team was stretched very long.

As a result, only the three Death Eaters in the front were actually fatally injured. The further the aftermath of the explosion went, the weaker the power was.

The armor spells were broken one after another, but the people behind were only slightly injured.

Bella was originally dead.

However, she reacted quickly and used her companion's body as a meat shield.

The three Death Eaters who were killed in the explosion fell on her body, not only helping her to block the impact of the explosion, but also blocking many small stones that were blown off the wall, so that only the Armor Charm was broken, and her hair was baked more fluffy by the high temperature.

Under the observation of the control magic, Sherlock could not see all the Death Eaters, but he could "see" the most seriously affected people in front clearly.

The power of nearly two hundred explosion spells was beyond the imagination of normal people, but far below Sherlock's expectations.

With the help of the dark environment around him, he chose to detonate the location very close to the Death Eaters, which should have caused greater results, but the result was only three people died.

There is something strange about the darkness in this room!

Not only can it swallow light, but it can also affect the power of the inversion spell.

In addition, he used a lot of spells in succession today. In addition to the one hundred universal breaking spells used on the locket containing the time converter every day, there were fifty petrification spells in the time hall, and two hundred transformation spells.

That's 350 spells, plus the 200 Explosion Spells he just used, a total of 550 spells have exhausted his body.

Eddie obviously noticed this problem, and he stared at Sherlock's pale face.

"Your physical strength is too much, you can't force yourself to cast spells continuously like this."

"I know, this time it was just a good opportunity for a sneak attack, so it was wasted." Sherlock said regretfully, "but the effect is very average, only three people died on the opposite side."

Sherlock's condition was very bad, but the people on the Death Eaters' side didn't know.

"Back off! Everyone back off first!"

Bella stood up from the ground with a dusty face and screamed.

Even without her reminder, these people didn't dare to move forward, and kept backing up to a corner behind.

Among the three dead people was Bella's brother-in-law, Rodolphus's younger brother Rabastan.

But Bella didn't even look at the unrecognizable corpse, and retreated back to the Death Eaters.

Although it was important to get what Voldemort wanted, the Death Eaters here could not suffer too many casualties, otherwise Bella would not be able to explain.

"There are at least fifty Aurors casting the Explosion Curse together! Where did they get so many people!"

The Death Eater who asked the question was a young voice. Bella stared at him and frowned and said

"The Ministry of Magic cannot have so many Aurors! The man in the Time Hall just now is not right. He can use many spells by himself!"

She took another look at the big hole in the corridor partition wall that was blown open by the Explosion Curse, and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

"Lucius, you take fifteen people to continue to waste time with him here, and I will take the others and go around from that side!"
