Chapter 677 The Crisis of the Half-Blood Prince

A sneer appeared on Voldemort's face, which seemed to be mocking Snape's passion for Lily and also mocking Snape's weakness.

It was Snape who leaked the prophecy to Voldemort, and it was Snape who knelt down and begged Voldemort to spare Lily's death.

Useless affection, Snape was unable to protect Lily. He counted on his master to spare Lily's life, and he placed his hope on Dumbledore to protect Lily.

As everyone knows, Lily and James, who had mistakenly trusted others, eventually died at the hands of Voldemort, leaving only one-year-old Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived.

"It's so touching, Severus." Voldemort was not angry because Snape pointed the wand at him. He completely ignored Snape's behavior.

In Voldemort's view, Snape could not pose a threat to him, and life and death could only be taken at his own discretion.

"When did your betrayal of me begin?" Voldemort continued, "It was the child I thought was prophesied, the child of the Mudblood... Was it then, Severus?"

Snape's right hand clenched the wand harder and he said, "Yes. As long as someone can protect her, I am willing to give everything I have in return."

"For a Mudblood, you betrayed the great King Voldemort!" Voldemort continued, "For a Mudblood, you actually protected Harry Potter!"

"Lily is not a Mudblood!" Snape hissed.

His wand trembled slightly, and the invisible sharp blade slashed at Voldemort. However, Snape's sneak attack had no effect. There were no wounds on Voldemort's body, and there was no fountain of blood.

With a simple move of his robe sleeves, Snape's signature curse was resolved.

Voldemort didn't wave his wand, just as Snape had never betrayed him or laid a hand on him. For a moment, Snape had an illusion in his mind, making him think that he could walk out of this wooden house and continue to live.

Then, Voldemort's intentions became clear.

The big snake Nagini rolled its body and suddenly shot out. Its bloody mouth opened wide, and its sharp fangs continued to expand in the field of vision. Nagini struck Snape like lightning.

Snape waved his wand quickly, and the air in front of him was condensed into a solid wall. However, the wall of air could block the charging Nagini, but it could not block Voldemort.

With a slight wave of the yew wand in Voldemort's hand, the solid wall of air was easily broken open like tofu, and the big snake Nagini attacked again.

Just when the smelly snake's mouth was about to bite his neck, and the sharp fangs were about to pierce the skin and inject venom, Snape felt a huge force coming from the back of his neck——

Snape's body flew backwards stiffly, crashed through the wall of the wooden house, and fell to the open space outside the house.

When his body came into contact with the hard ground, waves of pain spread throughout his body. Snape didn't have time to feel the pain on his body. He raised his wand again and fired several spells at the wooden house.

The simple wooden house collapsed and fell in an instant.

Voldemort was unharmed, with a starry transparent sphere formed by magic floating beside him, and the serpent Nagini was properly placed inside.

"Esmeralda Drizzt!" Voldemort said coldly. The Dark Lord's hatred for Ada skyrocketed to the level of Harry Potter.

Anyone whose good deeds are ruined by one person over and over again would want to cut that damn bastard into pieces with a thousand knives.

"You are too harsh on my professor, Tom." Ada said, her tone was normal, as if she was chatting with an acquaintance.

Snape broke away from the battle and sneaked away without anyone noticing. No matter how sharp Voldemort's eyes were, he couldn't duel with Ada while observing whether Snape escaped.

Absolutely no, no, no, Snape shouldn't be so reckless as to kill Nagini.

It is true that Voldemort's connection with each Horcrux was very weak due to the excessive number of Horcruxes. Even if the Horcruxes were destroyed one after another, Voldemort was not aware of it at all.

But Nagini was different from other Horcruxes.

Before becoming Voldemort's Horcrux, Nagini was a snake, a snake completely controlled by Voldemort. This situation is also extremely rare among Parseltongues.

Nagini is also closely related to whether Voldemort can survive - before Voldemort returned to his physical body, he ordered Foley to continuously draw venom from the big snake and use Nagini's venom to prepare potions to obtain a basically usable form.

On Christmas Eve 1995, Nagini broke into the Ministry of Magic at night and attacked Mr. Weasley who was on duty.

At that time, Harry witnessed the entire attack from Nagini's perspective. Only then could Harry issue an early warning and save Mr. Weasley, whose life was hanging by a thread.

Before that, Harry could only establish a spiritual link with Voldemort and could only see what Voldemort saw.

There are many examples that prove Nagini’s uniqueness.

It is precisely because of Nagini's extraordinary nature that it was able to immediately report the situation in the cabin to Voldemort on the front line after it sensed Snape's murderous intent.

At that time, Voldemort and Ada were fighting fiercely. The black and blue flames were intertwined with each other, and the sparks flying out were enough to kill the people around them.

But when he learned that Nagini was in danger, Voldemort left without hesitation and returned to the cabin to rescue Nagini. If the fire is allowed to spread in Hogsmeade, it may even destroy the coalition forces under his command.

For Voldemort, Nagini was his last Horcrux and the last guarantee of his immortality. There must be no accidents.

Once the Death Eaters have been exhausted and exhausted, they can be recruited and retrained. If Nagini is gone, then it is really gone. Voldemort cannot bear the consequences.

Making a Horcrux itself is a very difficult task, and it can be said to be against the will of heaven. And Voldemort has made six Horcruxes (he didn't know that Harry was also a Horcrux), which is something no one has done before.

Whether the soul can be successfully split again, Voldemort himself is not sure.

Therefore, for Voldemort, Nagini is the most important at this stage and has the highest priority. Even Harry Potter has to wait a little bit.

Kill the prophesied enemy Harry Potter while ensuring the safety of Nagini and ensuring his own immortality. Voldemort could not tolerate the tragedy of 1981 happening to him again.

This is why Voldemort broke away from the front line and desperately returned to the cabin to stop Snape.

And why did Ada follow and save Snape in time?

The answer is actually very simple. When Voldemort comes, Ada will naturally follow.

Although she didn't know why Voldemort suddenly chose to run away, driven by curiosity, Ada followed Voldemort and left Hogsmeade.

Although she was delayed for some time on the trail, Ada arrived at the cabin at the perfect time.

"To you, he is a professor, but to me, he is just a dirty traitor." Voldemort said coldly, "A traitor who can betray a great and noble cause for the sake of a mudblood."

"Great? Sublime?" Ada asked, "You seem to have some misunderstanding about these two words, Tom."

Ada stepped forward holding the Elder Wand, blocking Snape behind her.

She continued: "Your mother, Merope Gaunt, is a pure-blood, and your father, Tom Riddle, is a Muggle. No matter how much you hide it, you can't change the fact that you are a mixed-blood wizard. According to the pure blood you promote, In terms of blood doctrine...what, you kill yourself?"

This was a fact that Voldemort didn't want to admit, but had to admit. Even after Voldemort killed his Muggle father, the blood of Tom Riddle Sr. still flowed in his veins.

"I have already purified my bloodline, starting from when I abandoned the name Tom Marvolo Riddle." Voldemort said.

"If purifying the bloodline is to split the soul, and then undergo a few dangerous black magic transformations, turning yourself into a human and a ghost...then I have nothing to say." Ada teased.

Voldemort was furious, but he didn't do anything.

He said, "Albus Dumbledore is dead, easily defeated by my plan. You are next, Drizzt."
