Chapter 541: Collapsed Ruins
It was not only the surrounding walls that had disappeared, but the whole temple!
Evan was not simply floating up now, but in a strange space.
The ancient building left by the ancient warlocks was no longer visible here, and the boundaries between reality and magic were getting blurred.
The magic vortex was still going on around Evan and The Book of Abraham, with the stone platform as its center.
Numerous swirls of light mist, made up of floating blue magic runes and ancient magic texts, were rolling, and the Philosopher’s Stone provided them with powerful magic as a support, forming this entire space and eventually converging into The Book of Abraham.
In the face of such power, Evan deeply felt his weakness.
The power of today’s wizards in front of the powerful magic of ancient warlocks was just as ridiculous as ants facing a giant.
The power of this magic in its complete state was totally beyond Evan’s expectations, and could only be described as shocking and surprising.
He looked around in disbelief and was immersed in this power to the fullest.
In the distance, the deep darkness was still spreading outwards, seemingly never ending.
The constantly surging magic power not only constructed this space, but also formed a strong cage at the same time.
Being trapped in this cage, without any power, and unable to go anywhere; this was the essence of this “Silence” magic. This was a protective spell that was completely beyond ordinary people’s understanding.
It would take unimaginable forces to build a space independent of the real world.
The will of the ancient warlocks to keep something trapped in this space was absolute, and nothing could ever defy it.
Evan never knew that the power of magic could reach such intensity.
He floated there quietly, feeling that he had touched the source of this magic power.
The words in The Book of Abraham were recorded very quickly, and before he knew it, all floating magic symbols were absorbed.
Right then, Evan returned to the ruins and slowly fell down.
He looked at the thick Book of Abraham in his hand, still immersed in the strong magic power.
Evan carefully understood the feeling and seemed to have caught something, but it was not clear at the time.
Undoubtedly, the harvest of this exploration was very big, far beyond Evan’s expectations.
Boom, boom, boom!
A continuous loud noise awakened Evan. He raised his head and looked around.
The stone platform in front of him had been split into several pieces, and the entire ruins were collapsing in a large area, and large pieces of rubble were falling from above.
The surrounding walls and the ground were also full of cracks, which were rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Under the impact of strong magic power, this ancient building was about to be destroyed.
If he didn’t want to be buried alive here, he had to run away.
“Damn!” Evan did not hesitate. He grabbed the Philosopher’s Stone, turned around and ran back.
Now, the entire ruins were shaking constantly. The boulders were falling and the walls were broken and collapsed. The magnificent stone pillars fell one by one. The gullies reaching the abyss appeared on the ground. It was a totally apocalyptic scene.
Evan sprinted forward as fast as he could. He had never run so fast before.
The interior space of the ruins was too large. He was exhausted, but he did not dare stop.
He kept waving his wand in his hand, emitting dazzling red lights, hitting away large stones on the road ahead.
This was not only a test of physical strength, but also a magical and spiritual test.
Before a few huge chasms, Evan gasped and flew a giant fallen column with Wingardium Leviosa.
He moved this huge stone pillar, which weighed a hundred tons, without thinking about its size or what it was made from.
Evan mobilized the magic of his whole body to move it across the gully. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and had no fear in mind… He had no time for fear!
Looking at the crumbling ground behind him, he hurriedly scrambled up with his hands and feet.
On both sides of Evan, there was a deep bottomless abyss. With the tremor of the ruins, the pillars were trembling constantly, and could collapse at any time.
If he fell into the abyss, there would be no possibility of survival.
He tried not to think about these things, his eyes fixed on the front, and he rushed forward.
As Evan ran over, the cracks on the ground widened.
He turned his head in fear. The stone pillars behind him were falling into the abyss, making a series of terrible noises.
A few minutes later, as he gasped and rushed into the hut that was used as a lair by the Manticore, and Buckbeak was standing on a pile of bones, incessantly fluttering his wings, and all the Fire Crabs and the Blast-Ended Skrewt were running around restlessly.
This place didn’t collapse as badly as the ruins hall, but the cracks on the walls were obvious.
Evan turned over and climbed onto Buckbeak and lay down on it, running out of strength.
He felt like he was back to the forest with Buckbeak when the light was bright again. The breeze blew, giving him a feeling of returning to life.
A burst of black light flashed, and Caresius appeared behind Evan and landed on Buckbeak.
Evan looked at him enviously. If he could Apparate, he wouldn’t have had to work so hard.
“What did you do down there?” asked Caresius.
“Nothing!” Evan replied, supporting himself and sitting up.
He could not tell the vampire about the evil god, the Philosopher’s Stone, the powerful magic left by the ancient warlocks, or The Book of Abraham. But looking at Caresius, it seemed that he had no intention of getting an answer from him anyway.
Evan plucked his head and looked down.
Because it was too far away, the Manticore had become a small black dot.
Caresius gently waved his wand and released the magic control off it.
Freed from the chains, the Manticore roared at the sky a few times and turned back to his lair.
Not long after he had gone down, there was a terrible and tremendous echo.
Boom!!!
It could be clearly seen that the entire ground was deeply sunken down, and this ancient relic was completely destroyed.
Buckbeak flew several rounds over the sky and headed for the castle again.
More than half an hour later, they returned to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
“Don’t call me for such a thing again!” said Caresius coldly.
He did not care about Evan’s condition. He jumped off Buckbeak’s back, took out a hip flask and drank twice.
In the blink of an eye, Caresius’s body was back into Moody’s appearance.
He placed the magical eye in his eye socket, and the electric blue eyeball swirled wildly inside.
He turned to look at Evan and hurriedly left the Forbidden Forest.
