71 Chapter 70: Death

Harry Potter lands in London. The one inside is Leonard Taylor. The members of the Order of the Phoenix are hiding their presence using a Confundus Charm and an Invisibility Cloak. They decided to rush to the Ministry of Magic as if Harry Potter had been lured in, assuming that the enemy would also anticipate the Order's arrival. The Aurors, who were contacted by the Order, are also set to join the battle when the fight between the Order and the Death Eaters begins.

He enters the Entrance Hall on the eighth floor underground from the red telephone box for visitors. Normally, there should always be staff present, but there was no one to be seen. Leo steps into the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor underground. He has visited several times for joint research, so he arrived at the Hall of Prophecy without hesitation. The unpleasant atmosphere filled the room, proclaiming that it was a trap. He finds the one with the names of Harry Potter and Voldemort written on it among the glass orbs where the prophecies are stored. Normally, only those related to the prophecy can take it out, but that countermeasure is irrelevant because he analyzed it with the "Eye". The moment he picked it up, a large group of Death Eaters appeared from the back, led by Lucius Malfoy.

"Hello, Lucius Malfoy."

"Harry Potter. Hand over that prophecy to us."

As soon as Lucius said that, before Leo could do anything, a group of Death Eaters in front of him began attacking their comrades behind them.

"Now!"

At Dumbledore's signal, the Order, who had been hiding their presence, also joined the battle. Most of the Order thought that Lucius Malfoy's betrayal was 100% a lie. However, seeing them attacking their comrades with desperate expressions, using unforgivable spells and spells with high killing power, they had no choice but to judge that the betrayal was true. Even if you add the traitors and the Order, there were still many more Death Eaters in terms of numbers. But in terms of quality, the Order was overwhelmingly superior. Furthermore, even the numerical superiority was overturned. The Aurors, led by Scrimgeour, also joined the battle after the battle began.

In just a few minutes, the Death Eaters were cornered to the wall. There were less than ten people left. The Order and the Aurors were injured, but there were no serious injuries. The desperate traitors were also not missing anyone. The outcome was already decided. Everyone was convinced of victory. But only Dumbledore felt a sense of incongruity.

(It's strange... It's too easy. But, Lucius Malfoy's betrayal seems to be from the heart.)

"Now, give up. Don't worry, we won't kill you. You are valuable sources of information."

Scrimgeour called on the remaining Death Eaters to surrender.

"Hehehe. Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

One of the Death Eaters at the front started laughing like a madman. He removed his mask and revealed his face.

"What!? Who are you!?"

Lucius Malfoy and the traitorous Death Eaters were surprised. They had never seen that Death Eater before. Even Lucius Malfoy doesn't know all the Death Eaters. But it was impossible that he had never seen a member who participated in such an important operation.

"Hehehe. Hahaha! I didn't expect things to go so well!"

"Could it be... You, are you Tom!?"

"That's right, Dumbledore. The minions here, other than the traitors, are all Muggle-born puppets whose souls have been destroyed and manipulated after being kidnapped. Now they are using magic to deliver my voice. But... I'm disappointed, Lucius. I didn't expect you to betray me."

"My lord, no, Voldemort! I acted for the sake of my loved ones!"

"Hah! Love! Ridiculous! Well, it doesn't matter, now that I know who the traitors are. Now, die with them!"

"No! Everyone, run!"

In an instant, the ninth floor underground where the Department of Mysteries is located was engulfed in flames and shockwaves. Not only that, but the eighth floor underground where the Entrance Hall is located also exploded, and debris rained down towards the ninth floor underground. Unable to withstand the weight of the debris falling from directly above, the Department of Mysteries collapsed down to the lowest level. The destruction blew away all the research materials, tools, prophecies, rooms, doors, and walls of the Department of Mysteries. It was filled with a tremendous killing intent that would not leave anyone alive.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Voldemort, the Dark Lord, lands on the lowest floor, which is nothing but rubble. He is alone, without any followers. This is not due to negligence. He has long since abandoned arrogance. This level of destruction would not kill the Order or the Aurors, let alone the old man or the boy.

"Dumbledore, Taylor. Come out. I don't think you're dead. It would be a blessing if you were even slightly injured."

A part of the rubble flies off. The one who appears is Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century. He survived this destruction by creating magic to protect himself and several others around him in that instant. However, the figures of several others, McGonagall, Snape, Scrimgeour, are not visible.

"Tom...! How dare you...!"

"Hahaha! Good face, Dumbledore! A face stained with anger and regret. How many bodies are under this rubble? Are there any fools still surviving?"

Voldemort laughs. But that smile also disappears immediately. The rubble rises, and a giant snake appears from it. The snake immediately becomes smaller, and Leonard Taylor and his servant Ku appear on the spot.

"As expected, you're not hurt... Well, it's within expectations."

"Ku. Go back to the study room first."

"Understood."

Ku disappears with the invisibility cloak.

"No, no, I didn't think you would use such a method. That explosion... it's a Muggle bomb, isn't it? And you combined it with magic."

"That's right. That's right! I did! I'm the Dark Lord Voldemort! I relied on the filthy, vulgar, and foolish Muggle weapon! But, there is no more suitable means to dispose of those traitors. To die by the weapon of the Muggles they looked down upon! It's the most humiliating end. However... however! The sin of making me choose such a vile and worst method is great! Leonard Taylor!"

"Eh? What is it?"

"The existence of you made me choose such a vile and worst method. ...Let me confess. I was afraid of you. Therefore, I decided to eliminate you no matter what. I even relied on the unbearable Muggle weapon because of your existence! But! That's only for tonight! I will kill you here!"

Voldemort prepares his wand. Leo also steps forward and takes a combat stance. Leo was desperate to hide his inner smile. A one-on-one fight with Voldemort, there couldn't be better conditions. He won't let anyone interfere. He has to settle it before Dumbledore tries to stop him.

"Die! Nesus Avada Kedavra Corscus!"

Voldemort casts the spell of death at Leo. It was not just a spell of death. The color of the flash was a pattern of green and black, creating a more ominous atmosphere. Leo, who analyzed it with "the eye", dodges it by stepping sideways.

"I see. It seems you've enhanced the spell of death with invulnerability, penetration, speed increase, etc. With that spell, it seems like you could kill me by piercing through any shield or my defense method."

"Know that the I'm also evolving every day. Now, your proud defense is meaningless. If you want to give up, I'll kill you in one go."

"No way. I have no intention of dying for free."

"Everyone doesn't want to die. But... death always comes suddenly."

A green flash pierces Leo from behind. The Nesus Avada Kedavra Corscus developed by Voldemort had another effect. It was a tracking effect. The ability to assault from behind the target that dodged. Leonard Taylor fell on the spot and stopped moving. And only the laughter of the Dark Lord echoed in the place.

Dumbledore was confused. He saw something impossible. Leonard Taylor was pierced by the spell of death. That means Leonard Taylor is dead. He wanted to think it was a lie. He believed that there was no stronger existence than him. If the prophecy is true, isn't Voldemort the one to perish!? So the prophecy is not certain? Is Voldemort an existence that overturns the prophecy? Voldemort looks at him. He felt fear. He had always been afraid of Leonard Taylor. But he felt more fear for the one who had buried him.

(We're in trouble...! There might be survivors under the rubble. It's not a good idea to fight here. We have no choice but to retreat for now...!)

As he was looking for a chance to escape, Voldemort made a proposal.

"Dumbledore, I will retreat here. The spell I used earlier was more exhausting than I expected. It's a bit disadvantageous to fight you here. I've achieved my main goal of eliminating the traitor and killing Leonard Taylor, so let's call it a day. The next time we meet will be your end."

With a triumphant look on his face, the Dark Lord disappeared using the Disillusionment Charm.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

With the staff who rushed to the scene after the collapse of the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and the others dug up survivors from the rubble. The only survivors were those who were able to use the shield spell Protego in the nick of time. Even so, they were not unscathed and were in a terrible state. The surviving members of the Order were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Mad-Eye Moody. All other members of the Order, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Arthur Weasley, Hestia Jones, Dedalus Diggle, Elphias Doge, and many other members were killed. Only Lucius Malfoy survived among the traitorous Death Eaters. Even Lucius Malfoy had lost both hands and one eye, and it was a close call. Those who were manipulated had bombs planted inside them, so only pieces of flesh remained. Only Rufus Scrimgeour and two others survived among the Aurors. The result was almost a total annihilation.

And, Leonard Taylor died. Many people were saddened, angry, frightened, and confused. That's why no one even noticed that the ring was missing from Leo's finger.

"Hahaha! I've buried Leonard Taylor! I've won!

From the next episode, the story of me ruling the magical world, the world, will begin!

I guess I'll have to change the title again! Hahaha!"

The bowed man, arrogance, carelessness, pride, and everything else are thrown away at full power.

I was constantly thinking about how to kill him because of Leo's existence.

Magic→Sensing, counteracting→If it's not magic, what can I use?→Muggle weapons, that kind of feeling.

Killing the traitors with inferior Muggle weapons also has a sense of punishment.

By the way, I thoroughly investigated Muggles, so the winning rate in case of war with Muggles also increase

The difficulty level of the Order has also skyrocketed due to Leo.

Leo was unharmed, which was within the range of expectations as a bow.

The attack with the Muggle weapon was just a bonus if it worked.

He had decided to try every means to kill him.

Nesus Avada Kedavra Corscus

The trump card of the bow. It means to definitely kill and destroy.

Physical defense penetration, magic defense penetration, speed increase, tracking function added.

The drawback is that the fuel economy is dangerous. Even with the bow, two shots are the limit.

However, it also means that two people can definitely be killed.

A lot of people died in this incident. Moreover, the named characters of the Death Eaters are almost unscathed

Should I add a death tag for the original characters by the next time?

Leonard Taylor is dead. What will happen to this story?
