#557 - Chapter 557 Brothers

Everyone's attention was focused on the chaotic battle, no one noticed Bella's presence, and no one even thought that she hadn't chosen to escape, but instead launched a precise and deadly attack at this moment.

By the time Sirius Black realized the ambush, it was already too late. He didn't even have time to raise his wand, and could only watch as the deadly green light magnified infinitely in his pupils.

At the critical moment, Sirius Black suddenly felt as if he had been punched heavily in the chest, and his whole body flew backwards. The green light narrowly missed him and flew straight into the dark wilderness.

He staggered and fell to the ground, his chest heaving violently, his whole being caught in the fear of surviving a near-death experience.

A Knockback Jinx!

Someone had saved him first!

Was it Lupin?

No, it wasn't Lupin! Lupin was to his right, and the Knockback Jinx had come from the direction of the New Town army.

Sirius Black suddenly looked up, wanting to see who had saved him.

At the same time, Bella's expression twisted completely.

"Who was it?!"

The sudden Knockback Jinx completely shattered her ambush. Watching Lupin, who had rushed over, protect Sirius Black behind him, Bella roared furiously, her eyes burning with the rage of a hunter who had let their prey escape.

Responding to her was a series of rapid-fire spells, and a voice that seemed to be both laughing and not laughing.

"Bella, we're all family, there's no need to be so ruthless!"

Sirius Black quickly looked in the direction of the voice, and in the next moment, his gaze froze instantly.

A black cloak, steady steps, a deep and resolute face.

This familiar yet unfamiliar figure waved his wand nimbly, while teasing Sirius Black, "Sirius, can you still get up? Haven't seen you in years, how have you become so weak?"

A thunderclap exploded in Sirius Black's mind. His pupils contracted violently, his lips trembled slightly, and even his breathing almost stopped.

Regulus?!

This is impossible!

Shouldn't Regulus, who had been missing for more than ten years, already be dead? How could he still be alive!

Even if he was still alive, why would he be fighting with Bellatrix?

In Sirius Black's mind, this younger brother was the true heir of the Black family, an extreme pure-blood supremacist, who had entered Voldemort's camp early and sworn allegiance to him, becoming a loyal Death Eater.

But now, this younger brother was actually standing on the opposite side of Bellatrix.

Could it be that he had taken action to protect his older brother?

"Regulus!!!" Sirius Black and Bellatrix roared out the name almost simultaneously.

The difference was that Sirius Black's voice was full of shock and a hint of joy at being reunited after a long separation, while Bella's voice was full of rage and killing intent.

She stared at Regulus, the expression on her face gradually changing from initial astonishment to a frenzy of anger.

"You actually betrayed the Dark Lord?! You actually dare to stand on the side of these traitors? You traitor!"

"Betrayal? This is called realizing the error of one's ways," Regulus said with a cold smile, his eyes terrifyingly calm, "And by the way, I started looking for a way to completely destroy him long before the Dark Lord was defeated by the Savior."

Sirius Black's eyes widened, his heart pounding violently. He had many questions to ask, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he could only grit his teeth, scramble up from the ground, grip his wand tightly, and stand beside Regulus.

"Regulus," his voice trembled slightly, with excitement and anger, "Where have you been all these years, you bastard? I... I thought you were dead!"

"I left the magical world and lived as a Muggle, while also working with Sebastian to find the Dark Lord's fatal weakness."

Hearing Sebastian's name, Sirius Black completely relaxed and believed that his younger brother had truly left the Death Eater ranks.

Wait!

So, that stinky swan knew about Regulus all along, but he never told him?

Damn stinky swan!!!

Seeing the appearance of the two brothers, Bella could no longer bear it. She waved her wand fiercely, forcefully blocking the spell shot by Regulus, her eyes full of crazy killing intent.

"Regulus, you are as fallen as Sirius, you are not worthy of the blood of the Black family, I will kill you with my own hands!"

"In that case..." Regulus said coldly, "Let the members of the Black family resolve the affairs of the Black family themselves."

Seeing this, Sirius Black raised his wand without hesitation, joining forces with Regulus to launch an attack on Bella.

Although they hadn't fought side by side for more than ten years, the tacit understanding between their bloodlines had never disappeared.

Regulus's spells were precise and sharp, Sirius Black's attacks were swift and unrestrained, and at the same time, the two would alternately use Transfiguration Charms to accurately block the incoming Killing Curses, their cooperation was seamless, as if time had flowed backwards, returning to the youthful days when they were still practicing duels in the Black family.

Bellatrix's magical attainments were not to be underestimated, but under this sudden joint attack, she retreated steadily, without even a chance to catch her breath.

After only a few rounds, a powerful Stupefy Charm hit her chest directly.

With shock and unwillingness, Bella's eyes widened and she fell down, crashing heavily on the ground, completely losing consciousness.

The situation was excellent, with Death Eaters being knocked down or surrendering everywhere. Voldemort ignored all of this, staring only at Sebastian, the fanaticism and killing intent in his eyes almost solidifying. With a wave of his wand, deadly spells tore through the air, sweeping towards the opponent like a storm.

Not completely defeated yet!

As long as he could defeat or kill Sebastian, he could still turn the tide and regain control of the battle.

Those fallen Death Eaters, those who had already collapsed and surrendered, and those traitors were just insignificant pawns. Their survival was insignificant. What truly determined the victory was the contest between himself and Sebastian.

Isn't it just fighting to the death?!

I am Voldemort, the Dark Lord feared by all, the man who returned from death, the existence that the entire magical world dreads. No one can underestimate me.

.................

Riddle Manor, Snape felt the changes in the alchemical ring, and a subtle excitement flashed in his dark eyes.

Judging from the changes in the ring, Sebastian was about to fight Voldemort.

Be patient, the more it is at this time, the more you must not rush!

After waiting for a short five minutes, he unhesitatingly took out a huge Vanishing Cabinet from his Undetectable Extension Charm bag.

Then, he waved his wand, carrying the magical protective sphere containing the snake Nagini, and walked in without hesitation.
