[Newt: Good heavens! The power of that thing just now was enough to rival ten Norwegian Ridgeback dragons! I’ve never seen such a terrifying, such an evil creature, not even a Dementor!]
[Newt: And to swallow even something like that in one go, Anton’s previous life was frighteningly powerful in the field of defensive magic!]
[Harry: Ron just went to the bathroom. That thing looked a bit like a spider, and it scared him badly.]
[Harry: I can’t believe Anton could deal with a monster like that so easily! If I’d known, I would’ve asked him to tell me about these things on the train.]
[Hermione: I’m trembling too. What was that monster? And what spell did Anton use? It was incredibly powerful!]
[Snape: I don’t know. In all my years of studying magic, I’ve never seen such a powerful spell. To transform a gigantic beast into energy in an instant… Whoever possesses such power could leave their mark on magical history.]
[Dumbledore: An immensely powerful force. Although I cannot understand Anton’s magic, I can sense the determination in his casting movements. He must have been driven by an extraordinarily strong obsession to use such magic.]
[McGonagall: Although I really don’t want to ask this, don’t we have two masters of the Dark Arts here? I’d like to hear your opinions.]
[McGonagall: Is our student Anton actually any good?]
[Snape: Minerva!]
[McGonagall: I believe in our student Anton.]
[Grindelwald: To be honest, if I had to deal with that thing, I wouldn’t use Avada Kedavra. I’d use the Imperius Curse.]
[Grindelwald: But Anton directly devoured its life force. I admire that approach, though I wouldn’t recommend it.]
[Grindelwald: Because only an extraordinarily powerful Dark wizard, one with absolute confidence in their mastery of magic, would dare to devour such a massive amount of magical energy.]
[Grindelwald: Your student Anton accomplished something even I couldn’t. If the highest score is ten, I’d give him a ten.]
[Grindelwald: As for the other person who calls himself my successor, I’d only give him four points.]
[Grindelwald: By the way, why has he stopped talking?]
….
On the outskirts of Albania.
The Death Eaters looked at one another.
Not a single one of them spoke after witnessing the battle before them.
There was only one reason.
They were afraid.
They were even more confident that the Dark Arts they possessed could overcome anything.
But just now, when they saw the monster on the screen, every one of them was terrified.
That monster, whether in terms of its enormous size or its terrifying power, had reached a level capable of destroying the world!
With the magical abilities of these Death Eaters, even if the most terrifying Unforgivable Curse, Avada Kedavra, struck that thing, it probably wouldn’t even make its nose bleed.
Yet that Anton, the powerful wizard shown in the video, had treated that monster like a mere appetizer, and the entire process had taken less than ten seconds!
What kind of terrifying magical power was that?!
It had even surpassed their master!
Thinking of this, the Death Eaters all turned toward Voldemort.
Voldemort, who had been coldly observing everything moments ago, was now completely silent, staring blankly at the screen.
His mind had been utterly overwhelmed by shock.
Given the sheer size of the monster on the screen, even if he summoned his entire army of Inferi, they would be powerless against it!
That was an absolute world-destroying monster!
And he could not even be certain that his spells would have any effect on that creature.
But Anton…
Anton…
When Anton fought that monster, it was nothing short of a completely one-sided slaughter!
Voldemort had not even seen Anton utter a single spell.
With nothing more than an ordinary magic circle, he had completely devoured that world-destroying monster!
The difference between the two in their mastery of magic could only be described as the difference between heaven and earth!
“That was magic that directly seized life energy.”
Voldemort muttered to himself.
What he was referring to was a forbidden spell he had never even dared to imagine.
No incantation.
No wand.
Directly absorbing life force.
If such a thing could truly be achieved, then he would no longer need Horcruxes.
He could obtain true immortality immediately.
And now, the dream he had pursued was being effortlessly realized by another wizard.
The shock this brought Voldemort far surpassed anything in the world.
Voldemort said nothing more.
He simply watched in silence as new messages appeared on the screen.
He wanted to see just how far this Supreme Dark Sorcerer could really go.
Could it truly be as Grindelwald had said?
Was even the most basic magic he possessed less than one ten-thousandth of Anton’s?
[Hermione: Professors, I have another question. What exactly is Anton trying to do by absorbing so much powerful magic?]
[Dumbledore: We don’t know either. We can only keep watching and see whether we find an answer.]
The screen began glowing again.
This time, the scene had already changed.
It seemed to be several days later.
On the screen, Strange stood in the middle of the galaxy.
Opposite him stood a strange machine covered in countless gemstones.
But Voldemort could sense that the machine contained an incomparably powerful force.
