Chapter 427: A Fierce Battle
A torrent of magic surged around Harry, pushing the water away with tremendous force as he floated just a few inches above the lake's surface.
The oppressive energy was palpable, a heavy weight that seemed to bear down on everyone present, making their bodies feel inexplicably heavier.
" This sensation...that can't be a Young Wizard Lord. I fought one of those before...no, it has to be more...no... it can't be. " Sebastian felt shivers on his spine.
Desperation crept into his voice as he turned to the only one he thought capable of dealing with this situation. "Lady Enkara!"
The beautiful, young-looking woman tilted her umbrella just enough to reveal her face.
Seeing this, Sebastian clung to a thread of hope. "I need your assistance in dealing with this Wizard Lord. Please, Lady Enkara."
Her response was cold and immediate. "No."
"What?!" Voldemort's crimson eyes widened in disbelief. He had no illusions about the loyalty of these Vampire Lords, but given the dire circumstances, he couldn't fathom why she would refuse to assist. Especially considering that she was the one who had the most to gain in this particular scenario.
Sebastian, however, seemed to understand the motives for her refusal more than Voldemort. His voice was tinged with bitterness as he spoke. "I see... I did not mishear you before. You've made a pact with this Wizard Lord..." It was the most logical conclusion he could reach.
Then there was the form of Wormtail. The rat-like man was looking extremely mangled, with his face partially melted and some of his body seeming to have completely dissolved.
"Wait..." His crimson eyes darted across the bodies. Three men... but no...someone was missing. The most important person that he had sent with them.
"Right, you won't find Bellatrix there," Harry said nonchalantly. "I reduced her body to dust."
Without giving Voldemort a chance to react to his provocation, Harry vanished with a crack, reappearing next to Sebastian. The Vampire Lord barely evaded Harry's swift strike, moving with preternatural speed to dodge the thrust of the staff.
But Harry did not relent. Every time Sebastian created distance, the metallic tip of Harry's staff would emerge through spatial tears, striking at him from impossible angles.
Sebastian avoided each attack with a skill born of centuries of combat, but his frustration grew with every close call.
"Enough of this!" Sebastian snarled, making a sharp gesture with his hand.
Six black daggers materialized in the air before launching themselves toward Harry.
Harry's shield flared to life, absorbing the impact. The weapons dissolved into nothingness as they struck as if they had never existed.
"Interesting," Harry muttered, studying the aftermath. "That looked like conjuration, but..."
Sebastian growled. "So be it..." Reluctantly, he raised his hands again.
This time, dozens of shadowy weapons manifested into existence. There were daggers, swords, axes, and spears... all of them were behind him, floating ominously in the air.
"Let's test the limits of that shield of yours," he said with a cruel smile, sending the shadow weapons hurtling toward Harry like bullets.
