Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 780: Plans and Action

Chapter 780: Plans and Action

There was a brief silence. Whether what Kagal said was true or not, the past experience of the Harbinger of Doom was unpleasant.

No wonder he would be called the Harbinger of Doom, a person who brought endless disaster and death.

Obviously, all the residents of that town had died because of powerful curses and Dark magic.

Most wizards wouldn’t even believe that such an event took place, but those who knew how wicked the Dark Arts could be would not count it out. Evil curses, spiritual invasions, monster summoning and more would allow a Dark wizard with enough power to do all this and more…

Raven’s Claw was truly evil, and to a certain extent, even crazier than Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

“Who is the master you’re talking about?” Evan asked. He did not continue to pester Kagal on the matter of the Harbinger of Doom.

“The master is our Lord. I have had the honor of receiving his teachings. He is the supreme omnipotent god. When the Judgment Day comes, he will come to this world and purify it and restore the chaotic order. At that time, only true devotees would survive …” Kagal shouted.

After mentioning the so-called master, he kept breathing heavily and looked more and more excited.

Evan asked him some more questions about this master, and finally came to the conclusion that this master was an indescribable monster, just like an evil god. Compared to overflowing emotions of fear and devotion, Kagal’s words were actually of minimal value in explaining what this being was about.

“What a fool!” Sirius said dismissively, looking at Kagal who kept mumbling.

Kagal said a lot about Raven’s Claw and the ancient god he believed in. Most of it was about his own feelings, and most of what he said only showed how much of a lunatic he truly was.

He even thought that his torturing other lives was an act of piety, hoping to get the favor of his master. That’s why he tortured the house-elves frantically, making their life worse than death.

“I am not afraid of death!” There was a flash of madness on Kagal’s face. “The Harbinger of Doom once said that the master clearly told him that all the devouts who died in the great cause will be reborn in the new world, and we will be reshaped by the master to obtain true  power beyond flesh and blood, beyond form, beyond life and death, beyond our mortal bodies… “

Evan frowned at the guy. Such a thing would be frightening indeed.

The senior members of Raven’s Claw seemed to know about some sort of Dark magic, which could strip their beings of flesh and blood through secret Dark rituals, fill their souls with pure dark power, and transform a wizard into a unique undying pure magical creature.

If some members had already obtained this “gift”, this magical creature would be very powerful. Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case.

“Enough. Stop talking about the master. Tell me where the Harbinger of Doom is going to take the crystals and the power he has extracted from the Cyclops. Where is the city and what is he going to summon?” Sirius said impatiently.

“There is a magical city on the seafloor near the island. There is an ancient existence inside. I only know that it is a powerful magical creature left over from ancient times. The Harbinger of Doom got in touch with it. We intend to summon it with the power we have gained from this cave, make the world more chaotic, and use its power to get to the relics in the city.”

Sure enough, this ancient existence, if not an evil god, would not be something pleasant.

The powerful magical creature left from ancient times was in the city of the dead that had sunk to the bottom of the sea…

Kagal didn’t know the exact location of the city, but he told Evan and Sirius that the Harbinger of Doom had ordered people to occupy the lighthouse by the sea. He seemed to be observing something that should be related to the Lost City.

There was also the great whirlpool of Charybdis, where Rowena Ravenclaw had been.

The Raven’s Claws had claimed to be the orthodox descendants of Rowena Ravenclaw. They followed Ravenclaw’s footsteps and came to this sea area, trying to find something in the ruins deep in the whirlpool, but they had never succeeded and were cut off by the powerful sealing force.

With Kagal’s account, a general outline was formed in Evan’s mind.

First, the ancient creature in the Lost City of the sea contacted the Dark wizards of Raven’s Claw and told them that it was willing to help them enter the relics in the great whirlpool, but only if it was summoned back to this world.

Summoning it required a huge amount of power, and the Dark wizards without the Philosopher’s Stone had to rely on the dead Cyclops.

Evan and Sirius asked some more questions carefully. After feeling that they could no longer get any valuable information, they knocked Kagal out, bound him and threw him behind the rocks with the two house-elves.

“What are we going to do?” said Sirius anxiously, looking at Evan. “We only came to seal the Cyclops. Now the situation is a mess. We’re not even keeping up with Death Eaters, and now, a group of even crazier Dark wizards has emerged!”

“Well, we’ll find a way to take them all down, together!” said Evan slowly, also feeling that the current situation was a little bit out of control.

The Dark witch Natalia, as a witch of the same generation as Dumbledore and Grindelwald, was very powerful, probably at the level of Caresius and Snape. To some extent, she was even more dangerous. As for her husband, the wizard known as the Harbinger of Doom, his strength could also be beyond imagination.

It would be too hard to fight them with the power of Evan and Sirius, not to mention the mysterious Raven’s Claw had many unexplored secrets, as well as the ancient unknown existence that was to be summoned from the undersea city.

But Evan and Sirius both knew that they had to rise to the challenge and stop the Raven’s Claw plot in Sicily.

Now, they were no longer merely following the will of Gryffindor’s thoughts. The conversation with Kagal gave them new conviction.

After all, these Dark wizards were going to join Voldemort and attack Hogwarts. They were their enemy.

On top of that, the purpose of Evan’s visit to Sicily this time was to look for clues that Madam Ravenclaw had left in the whirlpool, complete her test, and get Ravenclaw’s secret treasure key. Raven’s Claws were aiming at the same target, so now, it was a race!

There was a huge gap in power, and there was no way to fight them head on, but Evan and Sirius just needed to sabotage their ongoing ritual…

The two of them discussed for a while and decided to stop the Dark wizards from absorbing the power of the Cyclops, and then go to the beach to take a look at the lighthouse. Perhaps it was there that they could know the location of the city the Harbinger of Doom was going to.
