Chapter 104 If you don't die, then I'm not okay
"To be honest," Lynch said, looking at Voldemort's snake-like face, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather, "I don't feel well because you're still clinging to life."
His face wore the same smile as always: "I'd be much better off if you just died peacefully."
"Hehehe."
Voldemort let out a chilling laugh, like a snake hissing. He manipulated Quirrell's body, seemingly casually taking a small step to the side, his wand hand hanging down naturally, disappearing into Lynch's blind spot.
"Then I'm sorry to say, your peaceful days will probably have to wait a while longer... because I will never..."
Before he could finish speaking, the wand suddenly rose at a tricky angle: "Avada Kedavra!"
A blinding green light tore through the air and headed straight for Lynch!
Lin Qi showed no panic whatsoever. He didn't even move his feet. He simply raised his hand casually and grabbed and pulled at the dusty stone brick floor beside him!
During the fog, the floor seemed to come alive. The hard stone bricks were torn up by an invisible giant hand like soft clay, instantly solidifying into a thick, ancient-patterned rock wall that precisely blocked the green light.
boom!
The ghastly green light slammed into the stone wall, creating a deafening explosion. The spell was forcibly deflected and annihilated, but at the cost of the entire stone wall being blasted to pieces. Head-sized fragments of stone scattered in all directions, accompanied by dust, like shrapnel from cannonballs!
Harry, who was hiding at the edge of the room, quickly covered his head and shrank his neck. A piece of gravel flew past his scalp and hit the wall behind him, leaving a dent.
A cloud of dust rose from where Lin Qi was standing, but before it could dissipate, Lin Qi's voice came from within it:
"Now is indeed your weakest moment... Remember more than ten years ago in Glencoe Valley, I needed to move a boulder the size of a house to stop your Killing Curse, now... just a few bricks will suffice."
Before he finished speaking, a violent whirlwind erupted from the center of the smoke and dust, instantly clearing away all the dust and revealing Lin Qi's unharmed figure once again.
Voldemort's snake-like eyes, gleaming with a scarlet light, were fixed on Lin Qi, his rage and resentment almost overflowing.
"It's my turn." Lin Qi's voice remained calm, yet it contained a chilling killing intent.
He spread his five fingers and clenched them tightly in Voldemort's direction!
"Soul-reaping ritual!"
In an instant, a dozen completely transparent, invisible ropes, barely perceptible only by the fluctuations of magic, condensed in the air.
These ropes, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, made a sharp, piercing sound as they coiled around Voldemort's limbs, torso, and neck from all directions!
Voldemort's control over Quirrell's body was faster than anyone could have imagined!
His arm swung rapidly, the wand flashing through intricate patterns.
A thin, long rope of fire shot out from the tip of his staff, and the moment it appeared, it began to expand wildly.
In the next instant, a gigantic, monstrous serpent made entirely of scorching flames appeared out of thin air, coiling around Voldemort and protecting him at the center.
The intense heat distorted the air, and Lin Qi's invisible magic ropes slammed into the fire snakes, making a "sizzling" sound as they were burned and annihilated by the evil flames.
The fiery serpent raised its ferocious head, letting out a silent roar, and opened its molten lava-like maw with an aura that could incinerate everything.
It lunged fiercely at Lin Qi!
"Armor for protection."
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Lin Qi simply uttered four words. A semi-transparent, solid barrier with silver starlight flowing like water on its surface instantly unfolded in front of him.
Boom!
The enormous fire serpent wolf slammed into the starlight barrier with a deafening roar!
The raging flames and shockwaves radiated wildly backward in a fan shape along the edge of the barrier, and the high temperature even caused the stone bricks on the ground in front of the barrier to turn red quickly!
However, the seemingly flimsy starlight barrier remained as immovable as a mountain, firmly blocking all the destructive energy in front of Lin Qi. The entire room was completely divided in two: one half was Voldemort's side, a scene of raging flames and hellish chaos; the other half was the Absolute Domain behind Lin Qi, calm and undisturbed, where not even a speck of dust had been disturbed.
Voldemort's eyes narrowed sharply. He had already exhausted all his strength in this state, and his stored life energy was completely depleted. He could no longer squeeze any more power out of Quirrell's body.
Quirrell's magic, combined with his own will, reached its peak power.
But it was clear that Lynch on the other side was still in complete control.
It seems that this attempt to steal the magic stone is destined to end in failure.
But escaping... is probably impossible now... at least it's impossible to escape with Quirrell again.
It's a pity, this servant was quite loyal.
Let him be faithful to his Lord one last time in the final moments of his life!
Kill that boy before you run away!
Voldemort made a decision.
He decided to sacrifice Quirrell here in exchange for the opportunity to attack Harry Potter—the boy who survived.
With this thought in mind, amidst Quirrell's desperate cries and desperate pleas for release deep within his consciousness, Voldemort coldly extracted the last bit of his life energy.
Quirrell's body dried up at a visible rate, his skin turning ashen.
But before he could take the next step, Lin Qi on the other side made his move first.
While the remains of the fiery serpent were still burning and exploding violently on the barrier, Lin Qi pointed his other hand like a sword and swiftly pointed at the countless rubble scattered around the room.
As if invisible carving knives were flying, the powder on the surface of all the stones was peeled off and instantly shaped into hundreds and thousands of extremely sharp stone cones that gleamed with a cold light, densely packed and suspended in mid-air, their spearheads pointing directly at Voldemort.
Lynch suddenly swung his arm!
Mouth mouth mouth l——!
The stone cones shot out from all directions toward Voldemort with a dense whooshing sound, as if they were being launched from a powerful bow and crossbow!
Facing the overwhelming barrage of stone spikes, Voldemort, controlling Quirrell's body, took a deep breath—the movement was so bizarre it was almost inhuman.
With the action of inhaling, his wide black robe expanded violently as if inflated, as if turning into a black vortex that swallowed and enveloped his entire body.
The dense barrage of stone spikes rained down on the swollen black robe, but they vanished without a sound, as if all the attacks had been sucked into another dimension.
The next moment, the swollen black robe suddenly contracted!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
All the stone cones that had just been fired were now shooting back at Lin Qi at an even faster speed, carrying a chilling energy!
Lin Qi remained unfazed and shoved his palm hard against the still-burning starlight barrier in front of him!
