#195 - Section 195
Unfortunately, I haven't managed to harvest any spirits yet; it's still a zero-sum game.
“I'm almost there now.”
Follen contacted the security personnel stationed above again, but this time the voice coming from above was particularly noisy.
He had already slowed down, but he still arrived first, which further confirmed that he was just cannon fodder for intelligence gathering.
But having come this far, he couldn't back down.
Otherwise, he had volunteered to come down in the first place, and if he retreated at the last moment, he would never be able to hold his head up again.
“Okay, be careful, and keep the communication line open.”
“That fire dragon just flew up and caused a lot of trouble, but fortunately, it has now been subdued.”
“Okay, I understand!”
Clutching the communicator, Follen had no choice but to continue forward.
Soon, the remaining five goblins arrived at the edge of the sea of fire, but they were stumped. How were they supposed to get in?
Fire-resistant charms were useless against Fiendfyre.
As for Finite Incantatem, could the five of them really extinguish this sea of fire with it?
They didn't enter on their own initiative, but Ethan sensed that someone had arrived outside and took the initiative to show himself.
Follen, who was reporting the situation on the ground to his superiors, watched as the sea of fire in front of him began to wriggle and churn. He immediately abandoned the communication and raised his wand in alarm.
When facing a wizard of this level, being distracted by other things was a death wish.
“You're not Norris Pierce, who are you?”
Looking at Ethan, who was surrounded by flames and whose face was unclear, Follen asked in a deep voice.
Follen had seen Ethan, disguised as Norris Pierce, enter the booth in the hall, and the current figure didn't match.
These words were naturally transmitted to the ears of the security personnel above through the still-connected communicator.
They also quieted down at this moment, wanting to glean more information from this conversation.
“Where are the others?”
“Just the five of you?”
Ethan carefully looked around. He originally thought that these five were just bait, and that others had used means to evade Ethan's detection and were lying in ambush elsewhere.
But it really was just five of them. Who were they looking down on?
“The five of us have only arrived ahead of the others. The others are already on their way and will be here soon.”
“I advise you to give up this futile resistance, drop your wand, and show your true face. That's your only way out.”
“Otherwise, it will be too late to surrender when they all arrive.”
Although Follen thought the possibility of persuading him to surrender was slim, he still wanted to try.
What if he succeeded?
He really didn't want to fight with a wizard like that.
“Heh heh!”
Ethan sneered and then waved his hand.
The sea of fire that was already churning and roaring behind him instantly swept out a wave of fire tens of meters high, directly pouncing towards the goblins.
During the Quidditch World Cup, Ethan had been tricked by the goblins.
They had directly leaked the news of how many Galleons Ethan won each time, making it known to everyone.
Ethan had always remembered this grudge.
When facing goblins, he would naturally kill them if he could.
“Finite Incantatem!” × 5
As security personnel of Gringotts, this financial institution, they were naturally the elite of the goblin race.
After all, Gringotts was the foundation upon which the goblins could establish themselves in the wizarding world, and it must not be lost.
Those with flexible and clever minds would enter to serve as receptionists, managers, and other positions, while those with good strength would work in the Curse-Breaking Department, or simply become security guards.
They naturally knew the Finite Incantatem spell.
At this moment, the five goblins also formed a circle, simultaneously pressing their wands to the ground. Circles of red light connected into a line on the ground, wrapping them up, and then expanding outward.
It was certainly impossible to directly eliminate this sea of fire. The only thing they could do was protect themselves, using the characteristics of Finite Incantatem to prevent Fiendfyre from spreading to their sides.
“Tell Dick to hurry up, we can't hold on for long.”
While maintaining Finite Incantatem, Follen appealed for help over the walkie-talkie.
Facing their resistance, Ethan didn't care at all.
In front of the wave of orange-red flames, these red lights were turned into scattered red glows and dissipated into the air the moment they pounced down.
Then, in the horrified and terrified eyes of the goblins, the sea of fire directly engulfed them.
When the wave of fire receded, only five pale blue spirits remained.
Originally, Fiendfyre could burn souls, and spirits could not be made after being burned by Fiendfyre.
But Ethan also improved it a bit, relying on his extremely high fire affinity and tenth-level mastery of the Fiendfyre Curse, he could freely control whether Fiendfyre burned souls.
Chapter 240: The Auror Reinforcements
“Boss, we've completely cleared out the vaults here!”
About thirteen or fourteen minutes later, Little Tom led Hepzibah Smith and twenty members of the Wizard's Heart Association to Ethan's side.
Many of them had dragon-hide pouches tied around their waists.
During this time, Ethan hadn't encountered anyone coming to stop him.
He had been waiting down here for more than ten minutes, until they had looted all the Level 1 vaults.
“Okay, come in!”
“As for the profits, we'll distribute them when we get back!”
As he spoke, Ethan directly opened the box, allowing them to enter directly as they had come.
Before long, there was no one left in this empty area except for Ethan.
As for the three goblins, Ethan didn't ask, and Little Tom didn't say, but Ethan knew that Little Tom knew how to deal with them.
Anyway, Ethan hadn't sensed their aura anymore.
It was just that he had made such a big commotion down here, but these goblins didn't even come down. Weren't they too cowardly?
Of course, Ethan also knew that this certainly wasn't the goblins of Gringotts giving up, but rather placing the battlefield above.
Looking at the surrounding Fiendfyre, Ethan was silent for a moment.
It can't be wasted.
Immediately, with a wave of his wand, the endless sea of fire began to swirl, until it became a giant fire phoenix hovering in the sky above Ethan.
Ethan was becoming more and more adept at transforming the Fiendfyre Curse.
After all, Ethan's Transfiguration skill had reached its maximum level today.
As early as when he completed his Animagus form, Ethan's Transfiguration skill jumped from level eight to level nine, and then in the past half year, Ethan also took some time to specifically train his Transfiguration.
Now Ethan's Transfiguration level is definitely stronger than Professor McGonagall's.
As for Dumbledore, this is uncertain, who let this old schemer take action too few times.
Ethan had never seen him cast any spells seriously, and he couldn't find any criteria for judging.
Transfiguration, according to Ethan's understanding of the highest level, mythical creature transformation, Ethan also completed it well.
Surtr, the fire giant in mythology, the guardian of Muspelheim, Ethan has constructed it quite decently.
The panel has also changed a lot.
Name: Ethan Adrian
Age: 14
Bloodline: Dragon Vein Wizard 240 Talents: 《Excessive Soul》《Strong Physique》《Heart of Darkness》《Concentration》《Animal Affinity》《Fire Affinity》《Parseltongue》《Lightning Affinity》《Determination》
Spells: Killing Curse (10), Cruciatus Curse (10), Imperius Curse (10), Fiendfyre Curse (10), Fire Style Body Protection (10), Gubeilai Immortal Fire (10), Fiendfyre Body Protection (10), Vulcan Opens the Way (10), Occlumency (10), Legilimency (10), Mjolnir (10), Gungnir (10), Shield Charm (10), Undetectable Extension Charm (9), Siphon Energy (10), Shadow Sneak (9), Pack of Wolves (10), Raven Storm (8), Apparition (9), Transfiguration (10), Potions (8), Alchemy (9), Ultimate Flash (7), Nibelungen (9), Helheim (8), Patronus Charm (8)……
In addition to this, the biggest difference is the amount of magic power.
At the end of each school year, there is an increase in magic power.
The blessings brought by various buffs, and after taking the Blood of Magic, another huge increase after bloodline awakening.
Now Ethan's magic power is absolutely terrifying, and every year there is a very obvious upward trend.
Even after taking two vaults at an extremely fast speed, and releasing such a quantity of Fiendfyre, Ethan's magic power is still abundant.
Standing on the head of the fire phoenix, in just a moment, Ethan arrived near the entrance of the cave, and he didn't encounter a single minecart along the way.
In the depths of Gringotts, there is more than one minecart track. In the past, no matter whether going down or up, you could encounter many minecarts, but now there isn't a single one. Obviously, this is a clearing of the area.
"Finite Incantatem!"
Before Ethan could fly to the entrance of the cave, loud shouts came from above.
Then the entire upper part of the pit was covered by a layer of red light, as if a red transparent pot lid was put on top.
Because the structure of the cave below Gringotts is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and there is only such an exit, so just blocking the opening above like this, the people inside will have nowhere to escape.
Ethan did not choose to force his way through in the face of such a situation.
In his perception, there are more than a hundred sources of magic power outside, that is, more than a hundred wizards.
It's just that I don't know how many are taking action, and how many are bystanders.
If they are all using Finite Incantatem.
Forcing his way through will definitely be a disadvantage.
After all, in terms of attributes, Finite Incantatem is more restrained against the effects of some spells.
Ethan didn't want to reveal too much, and there was an identity that was quite suitable, that is, the identity of the one who fought Voldemort in the black-eat-black incident.
Although only Dumbledore knew about that identity.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, an old goblin with a completely white beard and eyebrows looked inside, temporarily without any movement. The bandits did not forcibly attack, which was a relief. He was the head of Gringotts in Great Britain.
After Furen and his gang were completely wiped out, he decisively contacted other Gringotts in Europe and asked them for rescue.
Not only that, but he also contacted the British Ministry of Magic.
In this case, the Ministry of Magic cannot ignore it.
So, the longer the event is delayed, the more reinforcements he will have, and the greater the possibility of catching the guy inside.
This is also the reason why he did not choose to let people continue to go down.
As long as all the forces are concentrated to trap the person below, no matter how many gold galleons he took below, he will have to spit them out with interest.
The people above are not in a hurry, and Ethan below is not in a hurry either.
Although he doesn't forcibly break through the barrier, it doesn't prevent him from increasing the power of the Fiendfyre Curse.
Everyone knows that the Fiendfyre Curse is not only extremely hot, but also not easy to extinguish. But similarly, it also needs the support of combustibles.
Of course, the best combustible is the magic power of the wizard who uses the Fiendfyre Curse.
And Ethan's magic power goes without saying. There are so many spiritual bodies in Nibelungen as a backup for restoring magic power.
Ethan could also guess some of the situation above.
Immediately, he manipulated the fire phoenix under him to split directly, forming small fire phoenixes that crashed into the doors of each vault.
These vaults cannot be opened by ordinary means, but this does not include the high temperature of Fiendfyre.
But this also takes a little time, so the people above are not in a hurry, and Ethan is not in a hurry either.
Anyway, all the losses here are paid for by the goblins. It's just that the compensation ratio of the first-level vault is not as high. In the end, the goblins are the ones who suffer.
