#553 - Talk about loyalty (ask for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

"Retreat!" Seth no longer hoped for the unrealistic feat of defeating Thunderbird. Even without using Fiendfyre, its conventional combat power was beyond their reach. "Everyone retreat! I'll cover your escape!"

Hearing Seth's call, the others finally woke up as if from a dream, scrambling back behind Seth in a panic. Google Search Read

After shouting, Seth immediately fired several 'Avada Kedavra' curses at Thunderbird. He didn't expect these killing curses to hit, but merely tried to delay Thunderbird's slaughter, as his priority was to bring back as many Jacobson family members as possible to preserve their strength.

Seth was even prepared to sacrifice himself for this.

It was quite ironic that the Pure Land Society, as the largest violent organization in Northern Europe, was much more ruthless in their actions than smuggling groups like the Silver Spears.

Yet, this very organization was more united internally. If anyone offended one of their members, it would trigger retaliation from the entire family.

On the other hand, the Silver Spears, which seemed relatively gentle and prioritized profit, had internal managers who were disloyal, suspicious of each other, and focused on their own interests.

Seth was now ready to fight to the death, so his killing curses were fierce and fast. This slightly disrupted Thunderbird's attack rhythm, forcing it to pull up a wall of earth and stone to block his attacks.

The Pure Land Society members were very active in escaping, each mounting their broomsticks and rushing backward. Seth also took this opportunity to mount his broom and flee.

"Heh, realizing you should run now? Isn't it a little too late?"

With the blue Fiendfyre blocking the way, Thunderbird was in no hurry, leisurely mounting a broomstick to give chase, occasionally firing spells to try and hinder them.

The threat of death from Thunderbird seemed to stimulate their potential, and each of them performed various difficult maneuvers in the air to avoid the incoming spells.

However, under Thunderbird's intense offensive, some of them were inevitably hit.

One wizard, weaving left and right through the forest, was too hasty and accidentally brushed a branch with the tail of his broom while dodging. For skilled wizards like them, it would only take two seconds to regain balance.

But this was not the time for mistakes. The wizard's misstep was immediately targeted by Thunderbird's Impedimenta Curse, which blasted his broomstick into pieces.

The unbalanced wizard was controlled by Thunderbird, then dragged forward at high speed for more than ten meters, following Thunderbird's broomstick.

"Ah!!!"

Finally, he was slammed heavily into a thick ash tree, the hard branches piercing straight through the wizard's chest.

Like a piece of cured meat, he was hung high in the tree, slowly losing his last consciousness in the cold wind.

Another family member was lost. Hearing the other's miserable screams, Seth's eyes turned so red that they almost bled. He now wished he could tear Thunderbird apart.

But the last bit of reason in his brain told him that he couldn't contend with Thunderbird behind him. The most important thing now was to save the remaining family members.

Originally, excluding Karkaroff, Knut, the wounded, and the previous warriors, there were only 16 wizards who launched the attack, including him. After only a few minutes of fighting, 9 had already died at Thunderbird's hands. The opponent's killing efficiency was frighteningly daunting.

Fortunately, after more than ten seconds of sprinting, they had reached the edge of the blue Fiendfyre barrier. But now the problem was how to break through the azure Fiendfyre in front of them, in addition to Thunderbird chasing behind them?

"Don't slow down! I'll open a passage for you!" Seth mustered all his strength and shouted loudly to the surrounding family members against the cold wind. →

"Finite Incantatem!"

Seth mobilized all the magic power left in his body, ignoring his high-speed forward momentum, and slammed the Finite Incantatem spell firmly against the blue Fiendfyre barrier.

Seeing that the barrier was getting closer and closer but still hadn't been broken, Seth still didn't slow down. Every second he delayed reduced their chances of escape.

Perhaps the goddess of luck finally glanced at him. Just as Seth and the other Pure Land Society wizards were less than ten meters away from the barrier, the protective shield made of blue Fiendfyre was finally pierced with a large hole by his spell.

The Jacobson family wizards, seeing this, rushed forward like hungry wolves seeing prey, with their eyes closed. To cover the successful escape of all family members, Seth paused for a moment at the risk of being caught up, just to maintain the gap in the barrier for another second or two.

But this action brought Seth a fatal disaster. Thunderbird behind him was not slow. After rushing to the front, he fired two 'Impedimenta' curses at him.

Gu Huai

"Ugh ah!!!"

Seth, with only the lives of his family members in his eyes, was hit head-on. The huge impact directly slammed him into the blue Fiendfyre barrier not far away.

After crashing into the barrier, the raging azure flames instantly engulfed Seth. He couldn't resist the intense heat and could only let out a miserable scream.

"Silver Spears! The Pure Land Society and the Jacobson family will never rest until you are dead!" Seth, about to be burned to ashes, mustered his last magic power and let out a curse-like roar.

"Hmph, I want you to fight to the death with the Silver Spears, otherwise why would I let some of you go?" Anduin, playing the role of Thunderbird, smiled coldly, but couldn't help but admire Seth before he finally dissipated, "I didn't expect you old thing to be so loyal, willing to use your own life to cover the escape of others."

"Jacobson... family..."

At the last moment before his consciousness dissipated, Seth's mind was still on his family. Perhaps saving the remaining family members at the last moment could bring him a trace of comfort.

Watching Seth dissipate in front of him, Anduin couldn't help but stroke his chin and consider, "Just escaping the blue Fiendfyre barrier can't get rid of the anti-Apparition jammer I set up. But what should I do with the remaining people? It doesn't seem appropriate to just let them go."

After a moment of thought, a sneer appeared on Anduin's face, "Alright, I'll let Karkaroff, that coward, have it. It'll also pave the way for his headmaster position."

At this time, the 6 Pure Land Society wizards who rushed out of the Fiendfyre barrier were all gritting their teeth with tears in their eyes. They all heard Seth's last roar.

But at the same time, they also knew that this was the time Seth had bought for everyone with his life, so even if everyone hated the Silver Spears and Thunderbird, they had to try their best to escape.

"No! Even escaping the Fiendfyre barrier still can't use Apparition. What should we do next? That bastard will catch up soon." A Pure Land Society wizard, after failing to Apparate, looked at the other companions with a grim expression.

"It must be because we haven't escaped the influence of the blue Fiendfyre. I'm afraid we have to escape further to Apparate," another wizard suggested.

"What about Karkaroff and Knut? We can't leave them behind!" Although the Pure Land Society wizards were evil, they always valued loyalty, and someone immediately asked about the remaining family members.

"The place they retreated to is not far from here. Let's go meet them first and see if we can Apparate there. If not, we'll take them with us to escape!" A wizard suggested.

"Okay!"

"Let's do it!"

His suggestion was immediately approved by everyone, and they immediately adjusted their direction and rushed towards the location where Karkaroff and others were taking care of the wounded.

In fact, with the current situation of these Pure Land Society wizards, choosing to escape separately would have a greater chance of success, and at the same time, it could divert the enemy's attention from those wounded.

But these people were used to acting as a group, and subconsciously had no concept of abandoning their companions and escaping separately. In addition, they were in a state of intense emotional shock and could not think rationally.

After a while, the group found traces of Karkaroff and others in the air. At this time, Karkaroff and Knut were feeding potions to the wounded, and the bodies of the three fallen wizards had also been collected, ready to be taken back to the family for burial at any time.

The group of 6 quickly pressed down on their broomsticks, jumped off, and quickly shouted at the others, "Hurry up and pack up, we have to leave here immediately!"

"Leave? What do you mean? Why are there only a few of you? Where's the headmaster?" Knut and Karkaroff exchanged puzzled glances, then greeted them with blank faces.

"We encountered an unstoppable enemy, Seth, he..." A Pure Land Society wizard briefly and urgently recounted what had happened, even shedding tears when he talked about Seth sacrificing himself to cover their retreat.

"What? So many of you couldn't stop that Silver Spear? Even the headmaster..." Knut stared at everyone in surprise. He couldn't understand that the headmaster, who was invincible in his eyes, would one day be killed.

Seth is really dead?

Compared to Knut's incomprehension, Karkaroff was even more shocked at this time. He knew the hint Anduin had given before, which meant that this trip of the Pure Land Society would definitely not end well.

But he didn't expect Seth to die so easily. Although the Pure Land Society's offensive was hindered before, the situation was clearly in their favor?

Karkaroff had previously doubted the accuracy of Anduin's information, but how long has it been? They may not have even been retreating here for half an hour, how could the news of Seth's death suddenly come? Could Anduin predict the future?
