Chapter 573 573. Let him rest here forever
Facing King Arthur's pressing pressure, Slytherin seemed to have no effective means of counterattack at this moment.
After all, he has lost the body he snatched from Medea again, leaving only a broken soul.
But King Arthur is different. Although he only has his soul left, the phantom of the holy sword condensed with magic power in his hand can cause real harm to Slytherin.
Moreover, his previous red dragon state was already terrifying enough.
"Why doesn't King Arthur remain a red dragon?"
Scott asked Merlin curiously.
"Obviously, with just one breath of dragon's breath, he can completely eliminate Slytherin."
"He doesn't have that power now."
Merlin smiled and spoke.
"When he was the red dragon in the sky, he could draw on the power of all Avalon, but now, he has left his throne."
"throne?"
Scott thought of the pillars and chains on the sky and raised his eyebrows.
"I thought it was confinement."
Merlin said: "It is a imprisonment, a throne, and a curse."
"I don't understand," Scott said, "why he was able to escape the confinement after I threw the gem over."
"It has to do with the content of the curse." Merlin said.
Scott was very surprised, "Slytherin is also included in the curse? But they are not from the same era."
"You'll know."
Merlin had no intention of elaborating.
Scott could only shut his mouth and continue to watch the battle inside the different space.
Slytherin was completely at a disadvantage at this time and gradually lost the ability to fight back.
Despite this, Scott was still worried.
He remembered Slytherin's words before the battle began.
He believed that King Arthur's arrival was a turning point.
Since he said this, it means that he is certain to turn the arrival of this king into a turning point for him.
Thinking like this, Scott quickly saw Slytherin's methods.
The translucent golden holy sword in King Arthur's hand pierced Slytherin's equally transparent chest.
Golden light erupted from the inside of Slytherin's soul.
"ah……"
Slytherin screamed in pain, with a twisted smile on his face.
In an instant, thick black smoke erupted from the "wound" pierced by the sword, covering the two people facing each other at close range.
Then, Scott heard a muffled groan from King Arthur.
The black smoke formed a small tornado, spinning rapidly and gradually shrinking.
Finally, when the black smoke suddenly dissipated, only King Arthur was left.
He lowered his head and covered the left half of his face with his hand.
When he put down that hand, Scott saw clearly what he looked like at this time——
His originally blue left eye had turned pure black, and even the white part of his eye had turned black.
In addition, the left side of his face was covered with black "blood vessels", which looked particularly terrifying.
"This is……"
Scott looked at King Arthur at this time in surprise.
He saw clearly that Slytherin wanted to snatch King Arthur's power and take all his soul power as his own.
Although he didn't seem to succeed, he didn't fail either.
Their two souls seemed to have merged.
I just don’t know who is in the dominant position at this time.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that Slytherin didn't use this move on him, and he didn't get close to him.
"ah……"
At this time, King Arthur, who turned into a yin and yang face, raised his head and roared.
This roar was mixed with his and Slytherin's voices.
At the same time, the black "blood vessels" on his left face began to squirm and spread towards his right face.
"So that was your idea!"
King Arthur spoke.
It's his own voice.
"This is a delusion!" He said firmly, "How can the king's will be surrendered!"
Red light loomed, spreading from the right half of his body to the left half.
The squirming black "blood vessels" were slowly forced back under the threat of red light.
"It has nothing to do with will."
Slytherin's voice also came from his mouth.
"You have to blame your teacher Merlin. He only taught you how to fight with weapons. You didn't learn magic, and you didn't do any research on the soul at all."
Following his words, those black "blood vessels" began to riot, twisting and growing, and instantly wrapped around the left half of the soul body, including the left hand and left leg.
Seeing this, Scott couldn't help but glance at Merlin again.
The smile on Merlin's face was as motionless as a fixed mask.
He was still holding the gorgeous long wand, with his hands in his wide sleeves, and did not react at all to Slytherin's words in the different space.
"That is my own choice and has nothing to do with Master Merlin."
King Arthur's voice came.
He raised his right hand and the golden holy sword in his hand.
"I am a king! I am also a knight!"
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and inserted the sword edge with his backhand into the left side of the soul body, where the heart was.
"Ah... you're crazy!"
Scott heard the Slytherin scream.
Those black "blood vessels" began to turn into black smoke and disperse.
"I said!"
King Arthur's right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.
"I am the king! The king's will will never surrender!"
The black "veins" left the surface of the soul body, waving like the tentacles of a monster.
"This will make you disappear with me!"
Slytherin roared angrily.
King Arthur laughed.
"I should have disappeared a long time ago! I am different from you. Although all I have left behind during my lifetime are regrets, I have no regrets and I never look forward to eternal life!"
As he spoke, cracks appeared in his soul body, and dazzling golden light leaked from those cracks.
"the same as you."
His right hand pushed the sword hilt until it touched his chest.
"You have been dead for thousands of years, so you should just be obedient and become established history with me!"
The golden light bloomed again, like a bright sun.
The black smoke that is constantly being eliminated in the golden color is like the sunspots in the sun.
After a long time, the light slowly extinguished, revealing King Arthur's golden soul.
At this time, his soul was almost transparent and seemed to be blown away by the wind.
"I know you're watching me, Merlin."
He spoke.
"Then, everything is left to you."
A hearty smile appeared on his face, and then disappeared completely.
Scott looked at the shadow of another world that had become completely empty and fell into silence.
"it is finally over."
Merlin on the side stretched lazily, seemingly not having any emotional fluctuations at all because of King Arthur's complete disappearance.
This made Scott feel unreal.
"It's over? King Arthur and Slytherin have disappeared?" Scott asked.
"yes."
Merlin nodded.
"Congratulations, this has finally come to an end. You are no longer bound by the prophecy."
Scott asked again, "Are you not sad at all?"
"Sad?" Merlin tilted his head, "Is it because of Arthur?"
Scott nodded.
Merlin shook his head, "No, this is nothing to be sad about. This is a good thing for Arthur."
"Good thing?"
"Yes, good thing, he is finally free."
"What exactly is going on?"
Scott had a lot of questions at this moment and he wanted to know everything.
"Let's go to the Secret Land of Flowers again."
Merlin said with a smile.
“You’ll find your answers there and you’ll get what you want.”
He turned his head and glanced towards the center of Avalon.
"Ah, but I have to remind you, you have to speed up, otherwise, maybe someone will get your reward first."
After saying that, his figure disappeared without a trace like a bubble.
"Is it Aaron?"
Scott reacted immediately.
He immediately reached out and took back the gem, controlling the crow to swoop down quickly.
As he approached the oak tree, he shouted, "Savannah, come up!"
An eagle passed through the branches of the oak tree, landed on the back of the crow, and became Savannah.
The wand in Scott's hand shook slightly, and the magic text circuit appeared in the air.
The strong wind suddenly picked up, wrapped around the crow and the two of them, and flew quickly towards the center of Avalon.
Scott briefly described what happened just now to Savannah.
"Sorry." Savanna apologized directly, "Aaron's matter is my responsibility."
Scott shook his head, "It's none of your business. The situation was urgent and it was my idea to deal with him."
Without the influence of the red dragon in the sky, the crow flew extremely fast on the wind.
It didn't take long for them to cross the journey of several days and land on a small island in the middle of the lake surrounded by apple trees.
"Sure enough, Aaron has woken up."
Savannah looked at the vines that were originally tied to Aaron's body in the open space.
She knelt down and reached out to touch the vines, and green light emitted from her hands.
"It's not too late, he just woke up not long ago!"
With that said, she stood up and pulled Scott onto the stone slab that entered the secret realm of the sea of flowers.
The light and shadow in front of them changed, and in the next second they were at the edge of the sea of flowers.
Their eyes jumped across the mess ahead, and they saw Aaron walking into the white tower in the distance.
"Aaron!"
Savanna shouted, transformed into an eagle, and flew toward the tower at extremely fast speeds.
Aaron glanced back and quickly slipped into the tower.
The next second, countless thick thorn vines broke out of the ground and entangled themselves on the white tower. Not only did they seal the entrance to the tower, they also formed a new thorn jungle around the tower.
Watching this scene, Scott also transformed into a peregrine falcon and flew towards the tower.
Savannah quickly reached the top of the thorn jungle.
When she wanted to fly through the jungle, the thorns suddenly began to grow upwards, desperately trying to stop her.
So she landed on the outskirts of the jungle and returned to her human form.
When those thorns and vines were twisting and lashing towards her like a group of snakes dancing around, she raised the long wooden staff in her hand.
Dazzling green light burst out instantly.
Savannah stabbed the long wooden stick in her hand into the ground.
In an instant, fresh green began to spread, and the real forest appeared in the green light.
Trees emerged from the soil one by one, occupying the entire space of the thorny jungle.
Soon, those trees grew into towering trees, spreading their branches and leaves vigorously.
On the contrary, the thorny jungle quickly withered and disappeared into the shadow of the trees.
Savannah walked forward with a long wooden staff, her steps staggering a little.
Scott fell from the sky, transformed back into human form, and reached out to support her in time.
"Hurry in!"
Savannah gasped.
"Do not bother me!"
Scott nodded, let go of his hand, and ran into the forest.
Two steps later, he was surrounded by a breeze.
The wind took him around the freely growing trees with extraordinary flexibility, quickly reached the entrance of the tower, and rushed into the tower in one breath.
Bang.
He heard a crisp sound.
Aaron held a new wand in his hand, broke a layer of magic barrier, and was approaching the [Clairvoyance] that was working again.
"Stop."
Scott pointed at him with the wand in his hand.
"Alas..."
Aaron, who had his back to him, raised his hands and slowly turned around.
"I didn't expect you to catch up."
He still had a bright smile on his face.
"Don't get excited, don't do it."
Scott looked at his expression and always felt a little awkward.
Aaron has always been like a pervert, always acting cheerful and smiling.
But the expression on his face at this time made Scott feel something was wrong.
Scott began to carefully sense his magic fluctuations.
"Avada Kedavra!"
At this moment, a dazzling green light shot out from the wand in Aaron's hand.
Luckily, Scott never let down his guard.
A white light shot out from his wand.
The air in front condensed and turned into a thick steel wall.
But what he didn't expect was that the green light suddenly turned before touching the wall and attacked Scott again.
Hu...Hu...
Suddenly, a whirlwind blew up and carried Scott's body upwards.
The lightning-like green light turned at the same time and followed closely behind him.
This familiar scene made Scott begin to re-examine "Aaron".
"Medea!"
He called out the guessed name.
Sure enough, the smile on "Aaron"'s face disappeared.
The wind took Scott to avoid the pursuit of the green light, and Scott waved his wand decisively.
Because he didn't want to destroy the [Clairvoyance], Scott only used the most common coma spell.
But this was enough.
"Aaron" moved his feet to avoid the coma spell, and his control of the Kedavra spell was no longer accurate.
Scott took the opportunity to cast another disarming spell.
"Aaron" could only stop casting the killing spell and use the armor charm to block the disarming spell.
Scott also fell back to the ground.
"Did Voldemort give you inspiration, Medea?"
He looked at "Aaron" and spoke slowly.
"I guess you must have let Aaron carry your Horcrux with him, and took over his body after he fell into a coma."
"What?"
At this time, Savannah just walked into the tower and looked at "Aaron" in shock.
"What is going on?"
"Sorry, Savannah." Scott said, "I think the facts are what I guessed."
Savannah looked at "Aaron" for a long time.
"You are right, Scott."
She said a little dejectedly.
"He is no longer Aaron."
"Sorry."
Scott apologized again.
Although he would not feel sorry for Aaron's death itself, he would still feel sorry for Savannah's loss of her loved ones.
"It's not your fault, Scott."
Savannah still stared at "Aaron" tightly.
"Help me, I want Aaron to rest here."
"Okay."
Scott nodded.
