Chapter 498 The Backbone of the Magical World

Fudge's body seemed to have been drained of all its strength and he fell limply to the ground.

His eyes were wide open and there was still an unyielding look on his face, which was his last stubbornness and resistance.

The Minister of Magic died, just like that, in front of everyone, falling on the dirty floor.

The entire hall fell into deathly silence in an instant. No one spoke, only the sound of heartbeats echoing wildly in the chest.

The Aurors were pale and stood there stiffly, staring at Fudge's body. They felt extremely complicated and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Take action?

With Voldemort here, taking action will not be able to stop anything, and it will be a waste of sacrifice.

Just stand there in silence?

I also feel a little sorry for Minister Fudge's final swan song, and a little sorry for the justice in my heart.

"Bella, you are still so impatient." Voldemort's voice broke the silence. He looked down at Fudge's body and said with a hint of disapproval, "He is just an idiot who doesn't know the current situation. There is no need to get angry about it."

Bellatrix retracted her wand, bowed slightly, and said in a fanatical tone: "Master, he insulted you, you deserve a better response."

Voldemort curled the corners of his mouth without saying anything more. Instead, he raised his scarlet eyes and slowly glanced at the remaining Aurors. For a moment, everyone held their breath.

"That's all for today." Voldemort's voice sounded coldly, his tone calm but chilling. He turned to the Death Eaters behind him and said, "I've already greeted you. Let's go. I've prepared a welcoming banquet for you."

The hall was in a mess, with broken stone pillars and scattered debris silently telling of the destructive nature of the raid. The Death Eaters' previous wanton destruction had completely rendered the anti-Apparition effect here ineffective.

No longer needing to use the fireplace, these Death Eaters began to Apparate and disappeared into the air one after another.

Voldemort was in no hurry to leave. His scarlet eyes stared at the Aurors cowering in front of him, as if he was savoring their fear and entanglement.

He would wait until all his men had left before leaving, thus putting a successful end to today's operation.

Watching the Death Eaters disappear one by one, Amelia became extremely anxious. She was waiting for Sebastian's support, but Sebastian was on vacation in Australia for the past two days and it was difficult for him to arrive in time.

Do not!

You can't rely on Sebastian for everything.

Facing the mysterious man, the Ministry of Magic cannot just act like a cheerleader and must do something.

If you don't even dare to draw your sword or take any risk in the face of a powerful enemy, then there is no need for the Ministry of Magic to exist. It would be safer to just disband it on the spot and join Swann Alchemy and become Sebastian's employee.

You know, even Fudge, whom he had always looked down upon, did not bring shame to the Ministry of Magic in the end!

Amelia blushed and began to feel ashamed of her previous thoughts. She decided to delay the mysterious man as long as possible until Sebastian arrived, even if it cost her life.

"Wait!" A sharp shout rang out, and Amelia stepped out from the crowd.

"Everyone listen!" Her voice was clear and loud, with a power that could not be ignored. Although it was still trembling slightly, everyone present was attracted by her.

"Cornelly Fudge may not be a perfect minister, and he may have made many wrong decisions, but he just did something that no one can deny - he chose to die standing instead of living on his knees!"

The hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Amelia. Even the remaining Death Eaters gave up Apparating and looked at Amelia with ill intentions.

"Fudge's resistance tells us that no matter how powerful the darkness is, we should not surrender! If we put down our wands today and choose to escape, what will that mean? It means the victory of the Dark Lord! It means that the Ministry of Magic - the land we protect, will no longer be the hope of the wizarding world!"

"I won't let this happen, because we are the guardians of the magic world! We stand here not to appreciate the performance of the mysterious man, but to fight for the ordinary people who believe in us and rely on us!"

"We may fall, but our will cannot! We are the backbone of the wizarding world!"

"Now, I ask you, no - I command you! Cheer up, hold your wand tightly, and show the You-Know-Who that he can never defeat true justice!"

"Sebastian is on his way. Everyone, follow me and hold back the mysterious man!"

As she spoke, she raised her wand and sent a spell at Voldemort: "Thunder Explosion!"

The other Aurors were encouraged and roared out spells.

"You ignorant fellow!" Voldemort easily blocked the opponent's spell. "Since you don't want to be decent, then I will help you be decent."

"Avada Kadawa!"

Seeing the oncoming green light, Amelia had no ability to dodge, but her heart was extremely calm, and she just said silently: "For the magic world!"

In the blink of an eye, a phoenix cry resounded throughout the hall. At the same time, the fallen centaur statue in the fountain suddenly came to life. It rushed out to help Amelia block the fatal spell.

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Dumbledore walk out of the fire.

Fortunately, Dumbledore came, so so many people would not have died in vain.

However, the people in the Ministry of Magic cannot just become spectators and must help Dumbledore share the pressure.

"Dumbledore is here, come on everyone, catch the remaining Death Eaters!"

Seeing Dumbledore appear, all the Aurors were like being given a shot of adrenaline. They changed their targets and attacked the Death Eaters one after another.

However, a wall of fire suddenly rose up, separating the Aurors from Voldemort and others.

"It's not time for the decisive battle yet."

Dumbledore gave the instructions calmly, glanced at Fudge who was lying on the ground, then walked through the wall of fire and slowly towards Voldemort.

"Tom, you shouldn't have come here today, let alone killed Fudge..."
