#601 - The strange thing happened again (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

“Why… why?”

Though the Thunderbird, having been heavily thrown, had taken an Avada Kedavra curse head-on, he wasn't completely dead yet, seemingly because his life force was strong enough. However, lying on the ground, he not only lost his wand but couldn't even crawl. He could only barely raise his head to look at the two people in front of him. Google search reading

“Sorry… my child, I really didn't want to be so cruel to you, but your proposal was indeed very tempting. However, following you to America, facing you and the Black Dragon who completely control it there, is just too risky for me.”

At this time, the Golden Flying Thief, who had completed the sneak attack on the Thunderbird, walked to the Runespoor with regret in his tone, shaking his head while teasingly pulling the dagger from the latter's back. The Runespoor also groaned slightly in pain, indicating that his previous injury wasn't entirely a pretense.

“Child?!” Hearing the Golden Flying Thief's address to him, the Thunderbird stared at the two in disbelief. “You… who exactly are you?”

Hearing the Thunderbird's question, the Golden Flying Thief and the Runespoor looked at him, their actions unified as they gently removed the masks from their faces, answering one after another:

Golden Flying Thief: “Who else could I be?”

Runespoor: “I am naturally your hated father…”

Golden Flying Thief: “Also the leader of the club, the Runespoor, the controller of the elixir of life formula…”

Runespoor: “Even your former brother, now the club's lance, the Golden Flying Thief…”

Golden Flying Thief: “Originally, I was also the German Minister of Magic, Dario Pitt, but unfortunately that clone was destroyed by some brat who popped up out of nowhere, causing my injuries to not heal completely until now.”

Runespoor: “If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have designed such a trap specifically for you. It's truly regrettable…”

Golden Flying Thief: “Gerald, although you've always been the one clamoring against me, you're also the most capable one in the club.”

Runespoor: “It's a pity that the current me is not a complete entity. With you and the Black Dragon both existing, it's really difficult to control…”

Golden Flying Thief: “I didn't want this either. If things had gone smoothly, if you hadn't pushed me so hard, we might have been able to coexist.”

The Runespoor and the Golden Flying Thief finished speaking one after another, their tones and rhythms of speech were quite in sync. Except for slight differences in pitch, it was as if they were speaking with the same voice.

At this time, the Thunderbird finally saw the true appearances of the Golden Flying Thief and the Runespoor. The facial features of the two were somewhat similar to the previous Pitt. If one were to make a simple comparison at this time, it would be found that the figures of the two were also extremely uniform.

However, compared to Pitt, the Golden Flying Thief appeared younger, while the Runespoor had the appearance of being about forty years old. Moreover, the sides of his cheeks and the areas extending down from his chin had mottled patterns similar to snake skin, as if he had a skin disease.

“This… how is this possible! You were the same person from the beginning? But the Golden Flying Thief… he grew up with us!” The Thunderbird seemed unable to accept this absurd fact for a moment, struggling to sit up, but he felt powerless, and could only roar in grief with a hoarse voice.

“Gerald, Gerald…” The Golden Flying Thief walked slowly towards him, shaking his head and scolding, “You're always so short-sighted. The magical spells in this world are as numerous as the stars in the sky. When will you, this reckless guy who only knows how to increase the power of spells, understand this principle?”

Saying this, the Golden Flying Thief also squatted down gently beside the Thunderbird, reaching out and removing the mask from the Thunderbird's face.

Then, the Golden Flying Thief smiled mockingly, “Before, you asked me why I didn't use the Killing Curse during the sneak attack. Look, I'm using it now, but speaking of which, your physique is really outrageously strong. You can actually withstand my Killing Curse and still last until now. →”

“In that case, letting you die like this would be a bit of a waste. It just so happens that I can use your powerful body to create a 'physical clone' again. Although this body of yours will need to take the elixir of life like the main body, it can quickly increase combat power. Considering it this way, it's not a loss!”

After saying that, the Golden Flying Thief reached out and touched the Thunderbird's body, seemingly wanting to recover the elixirs of life from him.

However, when the Golden Flying Thief touched the Thunderbird's body, the sensation on his hand made him feel very surprised, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

And at this moment, another unexpected event occurred!

The Thunderbird, who had been showing extreme weakness, suddenly stretched out his left hand and fiercely grabbed the Golden Flying Thief's right wrist. At the same time, he raised his right hand, and a long sword instantly appeared in his palm, then he swung his arm and swept it back!

The sharp long sword cut through the Golden Flying Thief's neck without any resistance, like a hot knife through butter.

Pfft!

The Golden Flying Thief's expression still retained his astonishment, but his head suddenly felt light, then gradually moved away from his body. Immediately afterwards, a stream of scarlet blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain.

“Ah!!!”

The Runespoor in the distance was also struck hard, tightly covering his chest with his hand, his face suddenly covered in cold sweat, as if he was enduring unbearable intense pain!

After cleanly and neatly disposing of the Golden Flying Thief, Anduin first threw the corpse heavily to the side, then did a carp jump, straightening up with a 'swoosh', nowhere near as weak as before.

After getting up again, Anduin didn't stop at all, smoothly holding Annihilation at his waist, then making a posture of thrusting straight with a spear.

“Thunderclap Sword - Thrust!”

Zzzt!

As Anduin thrust his sword straight, an astonishing pressure suddenly surged from Annihilation, and then a blue-silver electric light, like a laser cannon, shot towards the Runespoor in the direction pointed by the long sword!

Although the Runespoor on the opposite side was severely injured due to the death of the Golden Flying Thief, he didn't forget his many years of combat experience. Seeing the menacing thunderbolt, he instinctively raised his wand and also shot a blue-green spell head-on, which was the [Secret Art Serpent] he had used once before.

The straight [Thunderclap Sword Thrust] collided head-on with the intertwined and spiraling [Secret Art Serpent], like two Super Saiyans fighting each other, stalemating at the point of intersection and erupting a violent roar.

The intertwined magic power rolled outwards continuously, converging into a light stream mixed with silver and green. These light streams continued to pour outwards, affecting the surrounding walls, ground, and even the ceiling of the corridor, causing them to either corrode or be annihilated.

Before long, the magnificent corridor where the two fought was riddled with potholes, especially the center of the magic collision, where the ground and walls were completely annihilated by magic power, almost drawing a clear dividing line between the two.

This power struggle lasted for nearly 30 seconds, until Anduin, who was desperately outputting magic power, felt exhausted. His magic power was almost bottoming out at this time, but the Runespoor was still going strong.

This made him couldn't help but be secretly startled. According to his speculation, after the two clones of Pitt and the Golden Flying Thief were killed, the other party should have suffered a severe negative impact. How could he still show such a strong combat power now? How exaggerated is this guy's magic power reserve?

No, I can't compete with the Runespoor in a war of attrition at all. This old thing has lived for hundreds of years. Even if he is in a weakened state now, his magic power value is probably several times, or even ten times, mine!

Thinking of this, Anduin immediately switched to holding the sword with both hands, then suddenly used force to pick upwards, converting this lightning giant sword that could almost penetrate the sky from a thrust into a slash.

Along with his change of move, the Runespoor's spell was also affected, changing from a state of mutual struggle to pouring upwards, causing the Runespoor to stagger backwards.

This change of direction aside, the Runespoor's mansion was inexplicably affected!

If one were to observe from outside the manor, they would find two light pillars, like searchlights, cutting out from the inside out at roughly one-third of the house's position, instantly dividing the mansion in two like cutting a cake.

And these two light pillars continued to rise after rushing out of the mansion, pointing straight to the distant sky, as if they wouldn't even let go of the clouds in the high sky.

However, after getting rid of this pure magic power bombardment, Anduin immediately withdrew his magic power, then quickly reached into his robe, pulled out a crystal bottle smaller than a thumb from the front of his tactical vest, and poured the liquid inside into his mouth after removing the cap.

This was the 'Phoenix Tears' that Anduin had prepared in advance. After drinking it, it could not only quickly restore injuries but also quickly replenish magic power. He had tested it before. With his magic power value of just over eight hundred, it could be replenished in just a few seconds.

At the same time, after drinking the Phoenix Tears, Anduin reached towards the position of his lower back again for the sake of caution, and then actually pulled out a circular shield about 30 centimeters in diameter from there!

Since discovering that the Golden Flying Thief was still alive, Anduin had rushed to make a large number of alchemical equipment during this time in order to cope with the battle that might break out with him next.

This shield was one of them!

In addition to its hard structure giving it extremely strong defensive capabilities, this shield also had the function of absorbing and reflecting magic spells of a certain intensity, and it could also release large-area protection spells with the magic power absorbed.

And it was also relying on this shield that Anduin dared to be so calm and carry out the plan when he noticed that the Golden Flying Thief was preparing to sneak attack him.

So the Golden Flying Thief was right before, using Avada Kedavra was like a joke to these people, how could the fully armed Anduin be hit by a Killing Curse.
