Chapter 803: A failed Summoning Ceremony

Evan’s attention shifted back to the Time-Turner in front of him, watching the dial above.

A Time-Turner that could travel freely on the timeline without restrictions, this was simply a magical piece of art.

When he got the Time-Turner before, he felt that it was different, but he didn’t really realize its wonderfulness.

His understanding of magic was not profound, and the power of the Time-Turner itself was incomplete. Ravenclaw had mentioned that it had been damaged!

After Evan returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago, Ravenclaw reclaimed it.

Evan didn’t feel anything unusual at the time, but now in retrospect, the whole situation was far from simple.

The Time-Turner he got was specially left in the school by Ravenclaw. She had long known that a student would use this Time-Turner to travel back to a thousand years ago, returning to Hogwarts and starting a series of events involving the secret treasure.

As for whether she was sure that the person must be Evan, he didn’t really know!

But from the moment Evan acquired the Time-Turner, he’d been involved in this complex event.

“This Time-Turner is part of my core power. I can sense its location,” said Cronos, as the light blue Time-Turner floated in front of Evan. “All existing Time-Turners are kept in one place, underground in London.”

“The Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic?!” Evan thought of the room where this Time-Turner was kept.

“Oh, it seems that you know about that place. Go get this Time-Turner, Evan. I gift it to you!” Cronos continued, “I know you have many questions now, but I cannot answer them all, and some things have to be done by you. Find that Time-Turner and fix it, it will help you solve all the questions in your mind.”

Evan didn’t answer. Going to the underground of the Department of Mysteries was not that simple. It was the Top Secret of the Ministry of Magic.

The Department of Mysteries was heavily guarded and protected by a lot of magic, and only personnel with specific identities were allowed in.

Then, Evan thought of Voldemort’s goal to get the prophecy ball. He had planned not to let it happen…

But if he wanted to get the Time-Turner, that was his only chance, and he couldn’t rashly break into the Ministry of Magic.

He could not wait until Voldemort had control of the Ministry of Magic. He might be able to do it then, but it would be too late. Voldemort would definitely seize all the Time-Turners.

“Evan, use that Time-Turner to go back in time. It will help you. You will follow the footsteps of Rowena Ravenclaw and come to this place to find what you are looking for, and it will be handed over to you by her a thousand years ago.”

“You mean Ravenclaw’s secret treasure key?!” Evan looked at Cronos.

He never expected that Ravenclaw hadn’t passed this item down but had given it to him a thousand years ago…

Evan and Rowena Ravenclaw had another chance to meet, to communicate and delve deeper into time magic. It truly was a miraculous phenomenon.

“I know some things about that secret treasure. When Ravenclaw came to me for help, she shared with me some of her thoughts. It was indeed a very smart approach, but there is no time to talk about it now,” said Cronos, looking at the hourglass above, “Well, Evan, if you have no other questions, I think …”

“Wait!” Evan had also noticed that time was running out. Unbeknownst to him, Twenty-four minutes had passed, and the illusions of all the buildings in the cave began to blur once again. He hurriedly asked, “What about the coming monster in the undersea city?”

While other matters weren’t as urgent,  the trouble being summoned by the Dark wizard of Raven’s Claw needed to be solved urgently.

“Speaking of that creature, the wizards of Ionia once used my power to leave an interesting magic in this place, which is still active and can disrupt the ongoing ritual, causing chaos in the timeline there,” said Cronos, pointing to the row of statues. “The tablet you brought had been left by the last high priest of Ionia. It contains a crucial rune formation that can trigger the ancient magic. I will also assist you. After all, it’s not yet time for the final battle… “

“What should I do?” Evan asked .

“Just put that tablet where it was originally.”

In the direction pointed at by Cronos, Evan walked to the obsidian statue of an elder.

On the ground in front of it, there was obviously a missing tablet, exactly the same size as the one in Evan’s hand.

The cyan magical lines encircled the statue and extended all the way to its body, gleaming faintly.

Evan scratched it and put the tablet in.

The next second, a slight noise came from the entire temple, as though something had happened, but there was no obvious change.

“Is that alright?” Evan shouted, but there was no response.

He hurriedly looked back and saw that Cronos was waving to him. His figure was fading, and eventually disappeared with the temple.

In the blink of an eye, the light in the cave became dim again, the magnificent temple turned into ruins again, and the huge hourglass returned to the shrine.

It was all over, but the tablet glowing blue in front of Evan had disappeared.

“Fear, mortals, your suffering brings me pleasure, and I will show you the scariest things in the world.”

Within the ruins of the undersea city, the dreadful whispers were still echoing, and the figure of the ancient monster was getting clearer and clearer.

It was about to come to this world, with the waters of the abyss drowning everything, making the world taste the flavor of fear…

Beside the abyss in the center of the city, the Harbinger of Doom was waving his hands while chanting ancient curses.

The shadow beneath his hood became deeper and deeper, just like the abyss before him, shrouding him in impenetrable darkness.

He felt puzzled by the recent departure of the ghost ship. It seemed that something had happened. None of the dead in the whole city could have left. They would all become part of the ritual, but now the Harbinger of Doom couldn’t care about anything else.

The ritual had reached a critical stage, and the energy stone filled with the Cyclops’s power was floating in front of him.

A potent force emanated, converging into intricate purple magical runes.

Under the increasing attraction, the ghosts and the dead hiding in the ruins of the city were gathering here uncontrollably, their faces showing extreme fear, but their bodies out of control. Even if they had been dead for thousands of years, they still had the deepest fear in their hearts…

They were drawn into the magical runes in front of the Harbinger of Doom, transformed into special energy, and became part of the ongoing consciousness of evil.

These forces were infused along a purple beam of light into the body of the coming dreadful being.

“It’s about to be a success. Come on, great and ancient existence, will you …” The Harbinger of Doom shouted loudly, and suddenly stopped.

He looked up in astonishment, realizing the sudden surge of abnormal magical energy around him.
