Chapter 67 The Chosen Path

John's joining undoubtedly relieved a lot of pressure. Kingsley could free up his legs to cast more advanced spells, and Xingze didn't have to shrink behind the sculpture and wait for death.

"Hey, Charlie, when my mother died, did I laugh so happily?" John strode forward, not afraid of the oncoming tentacles and magic at all.

His wand flew quickly, and magic was released one after another, but such frequent casting would seriously damage the life of the wand.

"J——" Charlie roared.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, Kingsley completed an advanced spell and hit Charlie without hesitation. The ice cone like a sharp blade pierced Charlie's body, but it still didn't have much effect.

The thick tentacles hit Kingsley, and Charlie laughed even crazier, "Haha, hahahaha, come on, mortals, become part of his ascension path."

The ice cones were squeezed out of the body, and more tentacles emerged. John blocked a magic, and his wand was overwhelmed and turned into powder. A tentacle swept over and slammed him hard on the altar.

"Fuck!" he cursed, and saw another tentacle hitting him. Xing Ze jumped out from behind the statue, blocked the attack with all his strength, and then grabbed John and cast Apparition. The following tentacle smashed the statue.

"His head should be a weakness." Xing Ze, who escaped, said to John.

"Damn, does it have to be so difficult?" John stood up, "Let's see if he can hold him for a while."

After that, he took out a new wand from his arms and joined the battle again.

Xing Ze took out a cigar from the ring, found the right opportunity and rushed towards Charlie. Even if they were in the blind spot of vision, the tentacles could still sense danger. They changed their offensive and turned around to come towards Xing Ze. (っ◔◡◔)っ

John quickly cast a magic blade and cut off a part. He poured magic power into the wand and threw the wand at the remaining tentacles. Then he took out another one like a magic trick.

The previous wand exploded, and the magic power blew off a lot of tentacles. Kingsley's armor protection was just in time, and Charlie's black magic could not cause any harm to John.

"Don't make fearless resistance anymore. We will all become sacrifices to the King of the Underworld. Accept your fate, mortal!" Charlie roared, and without any obstruction, Xing Ze approached him at the fastest speed.

A scarlet tentacle emerged from Charlie's mouth and quickly wrapped around Xing Ze's legs. With a huge force, Xing Ze was dragged and thrown into the air.

John and Kingsley wanted to get out of the way to save him, but unexpectedly, a dozen ghouls rushed out of the passage and rushed towards them without asking for their lives.

Xingze was hit hard on the ground, and the pain in his back almost made him suffocate. Charlie's wand flashed green light.

"Really, I could have done a lot, God's messenger." He whispered, "Really, I chose the wrong path."

"He thought... it should be me who chose the wrong path." Xingze laughed, and the blue beak turned into a black cat and jumped away from Charlie's body. The cigar was twisted into Charlie's neck by the tentacles.

"No!" Charlie opened his eyes wide and aimed his wand at Xingze, and a red light hit the green light shot at Xingze.

The explosive cigar blew a hole in Charlie's neck, and he was unable to maintain the killing curse. Tonks's disarming spell knocked the wand out of Charlie's leg.

Xing Ze didn't care about the pain in his back, and jumped up from the ground. The blue beak attached to his leg and turned into a sharp blade.

"Haha, hahaha, it's the king of the earth!"

The leg rose and the knife fell, Charlie's head hit the sky, and the blue beak went into Charlie's body.

The body twitched a few times and fell to the ground. Xing Ze stepped back a few steps and exhaled a long breath.

Although there were many ghouls, they were still no match for John and Kingsley. They cleaned up the group of scum as quickly as possible, but found that Xing Ze had killed Charlie.

"Well done, kid." John smiled and took out the wine pot from his arms.

Kingsley cast a complicated look, he looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "He won't get up again, right?"

"What the hell did I mean by that?" John put the wine pot to his mouth again.

"They knocked him down three times, but he stood up each time, and each time he became more slender than the last time. I also saw the changes in his body."

Forced to evolve? Xing Ze speculated in his heart that the near death accelerated the pollution outside Charlie's body, causing him to have that terrible mutation.

Obviously, Charlie's left and right halves seemed to have become two life forms, like the fusion of two worlds, the combination of dreams and reality.

Kingsley's worries were unnecessary. Bluebeak was constantly absorbing those twisted things. In addition to magic power, it seemed to like to devour things in dreams.

John raised his legs, and a beam of light shot out of the magic wand. Charlie's head was immediately shattered. He took a sip of wine and said, "He thinks he won't."

What exactly caused the initial mutation? Xing Ze cast his eyes on the altar, and the starry sky on the dome quietly dissipated, leaving only the broken statue.

...

Xing Ze and John walked into a cafe, where Tonks had agreed to meet them.

Scrimgeour had to deal with the mess in the Colosseum and the East Room. With things developing to this point, it was only a matter of time before the Ministry of Magic intervened.

Scrimgeour mercifully let them go and agreed to share information. Kingsley needed to direct the work on site, so Tonks became their contact person.

"He really doesn't understand. After seeing that scene, I don't think I have such a good appetite." John looked at Xing Ze who was eating voraciously in disbelief.

"It's time for dinner now. He's hungry too." Xing Ze looked up and asked for a maple syrup pancake and a caramel pudding. He urgently needs sugar to replenish his energy.

Although Bluebeak absorbed Charlie's dream, it used more of it on its own body.

"So, John the Thousand Wands?" Xing Ze tried to change the subject.

John swung his legs and said impatiently: "Can't pancakes and pudding shut my mouth, kid?"

"How many wands do I have?"

"Is that a secret?" John replied with some pride, "Secrets should be kept in mind."

When Tonks arrived, Xing Ze had just finished the third pancake. The girl had changed a little. Her hair was no longer so gorgeous, but turned into ordinary black and brown.

She walked to the east and asked for a latte, then went straight to the point, "He said it first?"

"He doesn't mind." John poured some wine into his black coffee.

"Come on, let's talk for a while." Tonks reminded.

"Thank Merlin." John praised, "He needs time to rest now."

"Go ahead, Tonks, just be more specific, they don't lack time." Xing Ze also echoed.

"Sage and Ivan, the two missing Aurors, do we know?"

John nodded, "Are they also investigating this?"

Tonks looked puzzled and asked puzzledly, "Why? Director Scrimgeour did not ask for help from the Department of Mysteries."

"There is news that," John took a sip of coffee, "the missing Aurors can help them find the fragments."

"Fragments? Fragments that bring plague?"

"No."

"It seems that they think of the same thing." Tonks smiled helplessly, "I really don't know why things have become so complicated. If their goals are the same, why don't they cooperate from the beginning?"

"Then no politics, child." John replied.
