Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

Voldemort patted his clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles caused by the Imperius Curse.

He said, "I'm tired of those vulgar sneak attack techniques and those old-fashioned 'Soul-Stealing Curses.' Let me show you something fresh!"

With that, Voldemort raised his right hand, and the power of death surged from it.

Black mist condensed and transformed into a giant black python, flicking its tongue as it crawled toward Lucius.

A sense of fear rose from the depths of Lucius's heart; his instincts told him that the black python before him was absolutely no match for him.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

"Split into pieces!"

"Shattered to pieces!"

Lucius unleashed several spells in succession.

However, these spells either passed directly through the black python or stirred up some black mist on its body before disappearing without a trace.

The black python slowly approached Lucius, opening its blood-red maw to bite him.

Lucius tried to dodge, but found himself unable to move.

He looked down and found that he had been silently bound by Voldemort.

Black chains wrapped around Lucius's body, forcing him to watch helplessly as the black python lunged at him.

At the critical moment, Draco rushed over to shield his father from the black python's fangs.

Lucius cried out, "No! Draco, get out of the way!"

However, even if Draco wanted to make another move, it was too late; the black python's fangs were already close to Draco's neck.

The only thing Draco could do was close his eyes and face his death.

Just then, a dark shadow flashed by, shoving Draco and Lucius aside, but was bitten squarely by the black python.

Draco kept his eyes closed for a long time, but the pain he had imagined did not come.

He opened his eyes and saw a scene he didn't want to accept.

His dragon, Hydra, shielded him from the black serpent's attack.

At this point, the Hydra had lost its vitality. Without the support of life, the Hydra's originally shrunken body began to slowly return to its original size.

Voldemort said with interest, "Oh? I didn't expect you to have such an interesting dragon that can control its size at will."

"What a pity. If he were still alive, we might have been able to study him."

"But you don't think my attack is over, do you?"

As Voldemort finished speaking, the chains binding Lucius suddenly burst open, and the power of death instantly enveloped him.

It was clear that Lucius was about to have his life consumed by the power of death.

The next instant, a white, semi-transparent shield emerged from his body, completely isolating him from the power of death.

This is the protective rune "Guardian of Faith" that Zicomo originally engraved for Lucius.

The effect is that it can withstand one fatal blow, with a two-day cooldown.

Lucius was incredibly grateful that he had asked Zicomo to carve the rune for him.

Draco, by this time, had recovered from the grief of losing the Hydra.

He took two small gray balls out of his pocket and threw them to the ground, and a gray mist enveloped Draco and Lucius.

This is Zicomo's teleportation fog, leading to Zicomo's house.

Draco got the nickname because he once complained to Zicomo that his house was too far from Zicomo's, and that he had to waste time traveling every time he visited Zicomo's house.

Then Zicomo casually gave Draco a small ball made of teleportation mist.

Anyway, this thing is cheap to make, just like Floo Powder.

Draco had originally planned to visit Zicomo this afternoon, so he carried two teleportation orbs with him.

Unexpectedly, these two teleportation balls came in handy at a crucial moment, becoming life-saving tools for the father and son.

Upon seeing the familiar gray mist, Voldemort recalled his experiences in the Triwizard Tournament.

He knew that this gray mist would teleport the Malfoys somewhere.

However, Voldemort did not stop them. Instead, before the gray mist could teleport the two away, he waved his hand and unleashed two bursts of deathly power.

The two deathly forces struck Lucius and Draco respectively, and before they could react, they were teleported away by the gray mist.

When the fog cleared, even the Hydra's dragon corpse had vanished.

Bellatrix, one of the Death Eaters, walked to Voldemort's side.

She asked respectfully, "Lord Dark Lord, shall we give chase?"

“There’s no need. You don’t even know where they went,” Voldemort said. “Besides, we’ve already achieved our goal in coming here.”

Bellatrix thought about it and agreed.

Before leaving, the Malfoys were struck by Voldemort's death power, and even if they escaped, they would likely not live much longer.

There's no need to keep chasing after two dead people.

Little did they know that Voldemort's goal was not to kill the Malfoys at all.

Although he came to Malfoy Estate with the intention of settling scores with Lucius, his main purpose was to test Zicomo.

Voldemort believed that the Malfoys and Chicomo had a good relationship when he last saw them together.

If they encounter any danger, they will definitely ask Zicomo for help.

That's why Voldemort came to cause trouble for the Malfoy family.

The departure of the Malfoys is exactly what he wanted.

Voldemort's two deathly attacks just now will not cause the Malfoys to die quickly.

Instead, it will slowly erode their vitality, like a persistent carbuncle.

At the same time, these two forces of death also have a locating function.

If the Malfoys seek help from Chicomo, Voldemort will be able to locate Chicomo's house through these two death forces.

Yes, Voldemort 4.5, to this day, doesn't even know where the Zikomo family is.

To ensure the safety of the Grangers, Zicomo used magic to make the area around their home as solid as an iron barrel.

Not only that, Zicomo even used the power of curses to put a curse on his home address.

Without his permission, no one who knows his home location can reveal his home address.

Of course, he didn't set any punishment for the curse, otherwise who would dare to be friends with him?

That's why Voldemort went to such great lengths to locate the Chicomo family's house in this way.

At the same time, the death power emanating from the Malfoys was also a test.

To test whether Zicomo also possesses the power of death.

If so, then he will be more cautious in his next actions against Zikomo.

Chapter 293 Hermione the Cat Reappears, and the Ministry of Magic Remains Silent

After gaining the power of death, Voldemort did not become blindly arrogant; instead, he became much more cautious.

He needs to determine his next course of action based on whether Zicomo has mastered the power of death.

If Zicomo truly possessed the power of death and unleashed it from the Malfoys, then...

That means Zicomo might be stronger than he thought.

After all, his power of death was bestowed by the Grim Reaper, and the Grim Reaper clearly had a grudge against Zicomo.

This suggests that Zicomo's power of death was most likely something he developed on his own.

This also explains why Death would want to kill Zicomo.

As a deity, one would certainly not want someone outside of one's control to wield one's power.

Voldemort snapped out of his reverie and left Malfoy Manor with his Death Eaters.

Next, all he needed to do was carefully sense the movement of the death energy emanating from the Malfoys.

It's a pity for these Death Eaters; they originally thought that following Voldemort would lead to a major battle.

Unexpectedly, Voldemort only took them out for a short while before returning.

In fact, Voldemort brought this group of Death Eaters along simply to show off his status.

The Granger family's backyard.

Hermione, now in Animagus form, lay lazily in Zicomo's arms, basking in the afternoon sun.

The next moment, a huge black shadow fell from the sky, startling her.

Hermione looked up and saw a dragon corpse suddenly appear in front of her.
