Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 200 A mid-air strike ends the battle!

Seeing Barty's response, Dali remained calm and even offered his comments with great interest.

The hostages have been rescued, and Barty Jr. has run out of bargaining chips.

This is within the Hogwarts grounds, and Dudley can now sense and monitor everything from all angles, leaving Barty nowhere to hide.

With Apparition unusable, and the difference in movement and flight speeds being vast, Barty had nowhere to escape.

Moreover, Dudley has already made a 'voice call' to Dumbledore in the castle, and the call is still ongoing.

With Old Deng's intelligence, he knew what had happened just by hearing Dudley call out "Little Barty".

He's moving out of the castle all by himself right now!

Dumbledore realized that Dudley had the upper hand, so instead of summoning the phoenix to teleport, he chose to walk discreetly.

With all these favorable factors in place, Batistuta is now completely trapped, only able to struggle but with no chance of turning the tide.

Therefore, Dali can now fully demonstrate his strength and hone his combat skills.

If Hagrid's regret about raising dragons is perfectly resolved in two days, and he receives his reward, Dudley will have fused with Voldemort's yew wand.

Then, in all the world, there are few wizards who can rival him.

How lonely and boring!

Dudley's mind raced, and he silently conjured up an invisible boast in his mind. Then, just like Barty, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and soared away at lightning speed to chase after Barty.

This Smoke Flight Spell is a type of black magic used for short-distance flight evasion.

Back in Gringotts' underground vault, Voldemort's main spirit, controlling Quirrell's body, used this trick to dodge Dudley's 'Sandstorm' spell cast with Dugger's wand.

He then quickly rushed to Dudley's side and delivered a Cruciatus Curse to him.

Dudley also learned this move after merging with Quirrell's Cracked Wand.

The Smoke Flight Spell allows a wizard to transform into black smoke, abandoning the aid of a flying broom and achieving autonomous flight.

Moreover, the black smoke state provides a degree of immunity to physical attacks.

Techniques like Dudley's power-enhancing punches and Snape's invisible cutting blades created by his own Divine Edge spell are not very effective against wizards in this state.

Not to mention, the wizard in the black smoke state has a very fast dodge speed, far exceeding the reaction speed and spell attack speed of most wizards.

However, this black smoke state cannot be maintained for long, and this magic cannot be used to fly very far.

Even ordinary dark wizards cannot use this spell multiple times in a short period of time.

There are many restrictions.

Otherwise, this magic would be defying the heavens.

After Dudley turned into black smoke, he surged ahead of Little Barty's black smoke at a speed far exceeding that of Little Barty's black smoke.

And no matter how much the little black smoke dodged and weaved, it couldn't shake off the entanglement of the black smoke.

He has incorporated the Golden Snitch's abilities, allowing him to utilize the Golden Snitch's high-speed flight and evasion in any situation.

If Little Barty Black Smoke's maximum flight speed is 6000, then his flight speed can easily reach that.

No matter how Little Barty tries to escape, he can't get out of his grasp.

Little Barty realized this, and a furious shout immediately came from within the black smoke:

"Traitor! Damn traitor! How dare you use magic taught by the Dark Lord to stop me, the Dark Lord's loyal subordinate!"

Tell me! Who taught you this magic? It must have been those spineless cowards, right?

Damn it! The Dark Lord is alive and well! How dare they so completely side with Dumbledore, with you filthy, lowly... Ah—"

Dali couldn't stand Little Barty's foul language anymore.

Before Little Barty could finish cursing, he concentrated his mental energy within the black smoke and then suddenly swung himself around.

The black smoke he transformed into immediately stretched into a long strip like a dragon's tail, and lashed fiercely at the black smoke that Little Barty had transformed into.

Like an air-to-ground artillery shell being launched, Little Barty screamed in the black smoke, leaving a long black trail in the air before crashing heavily onto the playground.

Barty Jr. could no longer maintain his black smoke state before he even landed. When he landed, he simply slammed his body into the ground, blasting an unsightly crater into the grass of Hogwarts Field.

Dudley exited his black smoke form, gracefully landing in front of the large crater created by Barty Jr.

"Avada kneads... ah..."

Little Barty, still struggling in his death throes, lay at the bottom of the pit and cast a killing spell on Dudley. However, before he could finish the spell, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, along with a feeling of weakness as his life force continued to drain away.

This feeling of weakness, which hadn't been obvious before, has now become the final straw that broke Barty's strong will.

For a moment, he lost his focus, and the green light emanating from his wand dimmed.

The Killing Curse was not used.

"Except your weapons!"

"Immediately imprison them!"

"Inverted fuchsia!"

"Heart-piercing and bone-scraping!"

Dudley stood outside the pit and used a smooth combo to snatch Barty's wand, bound him tightly with a magical rope, and then hung him upside down in mid-air, where he was hit squarely with a rather malicious Crucifixion.

"what--"

Little Barty was upside down in the air, kicking his legs in pain, shaking off the mud from the soles of his shoes and splashing it all over his face.

Meanwhile, because Barty hadn't replenished his potion with Moody's Rose Flask in time, the Polyjuice Potion he had drunk earlier had already lost its effectiveness.

In an instant, a middle-aged man covered in wounds, missing an eye and a broken leg, transformed back into a healthy young man with a pale face and light yellow hair.

It was clearly Barty Crouch Jr.'s original appearance.

With this change, the X-ray vision eye that Little Barty wore in his right eye socket and the wooden prosthetic leg that replaced his broken leg no longer fit him.

Because that's Mad-Eye Moody's equipment.

With the straps binding it to its head, the X-ray vision was somewhat better, though it was slightly pushed outwards by Little Barty's healthy right eye.

But the wooden prosthetic leg was completely pushed out by Barty's healthy left leg, and to make matters worse, the wooden prosthetic leg also had straps tied to Barty's left leg.

So the wooden prosthetic leg hung limply on Barty's left leg, the wooden foot pressed right against Barty's head.

Little Barty struggled and thrashed under the torment of the Crucifixion Curse, while the wooden foot relentlessly kicked at his head.

It's quite comical.

Yes, at least that's how Dali sees it.

“Mr. Barty, I thought that you, an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, would be able to give me a thrilling and evenly matched battle.”

As a result, you collapsed before I even exerted any effort!

"You're making it hard for me to enjoy myself!"
