Harry Potter: Demon Monarch

Chapter -59.

Bernard's agonizing scream sent chills through all the watching wizards, but Lester, the one who cast the spell, found no surprise in Bernard's cries.

"Fiery Flames, charge!!!"

As he watched Bernard clutching his lower body and wailing in pain, Lester's eyes gleamed with malice as he summoned two fierce flaming dragons.

With a flick of his wrist, the raging inferno enveloping the Ministry of Magic trembled, and two purple fire dragons erupted from the blaze, racing toward Bernard.

In the midst of his torment, Bernard was so consumed by pain that he didn't even notice the fire dragons approaching.

Boom!!!

With a thunderous blast, Bernard, who had just used a secret technique to unleash his magical power, was blasted away once more.

His body, cloaked in black mist, flew upward like a bowling ball, crashing through several floors above.

Thanks to the hardness of Bernard's body, along with Lester's potent attack, he was sent soaring higher and higher.

...

Meanwhile, in the hall, tension thickened as the prisoners and Aurors stood at a standoff, ready to explode into action at any moment.

After an intense battle downstairs, their animosity was now heightened as they faced off; even the smallest mistake could spark a full confrontation in the hall.

With both sides warily eyeing each other, a shadow enveloped in black mist suddenly shot up through the floor, maintaining its momentum as it rose.

At the same time, a massive fiery dragon pursued relentlessly from behind, attacking the black figure.

The prisoner preparing to strike: "."

The Auror preparing to strike: "."

Both sides instinctively retracted their wands, retreating to the corners of the hall, staring in disbelief at the suddenly reappearing Lester and Bernard.

"Have these two heavyweights just broken through the Ministry of Magic and are now coming back up?"

"Not really; it's less about them fighting each other and more about that guy just pummeling Bernard."

Bernard, battered and bruised, was rendered ineffective in a very short time; all he could do against Lester's relentless attacks was endure.

"Die for me!!!"

Seizing the opportunity of Bernard's weakness, Lester unleashed a series of fiery blasts beneath him, targeting Bernard, who couldn't muster any resistance for a brief moment.

Every fiery blast that collided with Bernard's mist-covered body propelled him upward, embedding him into the dirt layer between the first underground level of the Ministry of Magic and the ground.

"Fiery Blaze!!"

Seeing Bernard stuck in the dirt, Lester gathered his strength, conjuring up a massive fireball.

All his magical power coalesced into this immense fireball, which he then hurled at Bernard.

Boom!!!

The sound of the explosion resembled that of a nuclear bomb echoing across central London.

This time, unlike their previous battle that took place miles away, Lester and his opponents were only separated from the surface of London by a single layer.

At that moment, all the Muggles on the surface were struck with terror, mistaking the intense shaking for an earthquake.

[...]

While Lester ignored the fear values accumulating from the frightened Muggles, he focused seriously on Bernard.

He noticed that Bernard, overwhelmed with pain and unable to fight back, was now holding a small black worm, his crimson eyes filled with resentment.

Lester: "."

He hadn't anticipated that Bernard would discover and counter his most powerful attack spell.

The best way to eliminate a flaw is to 'eliminate' it entirely; Lester didn't expect Bernard to be so ruthless, swiftly severing his own weaknesses.

"Let's die together!!!"

With malice in his eyes, Bernard charged directly at Lester, spewing black mist from his hands in a frenzied attack.

In response, Lester showed no signs of weakness; standing fiercely on two fiery trails, he soared into the air to engage Bernard in aerial combat.

It became a back-and-forth exchange: Bernard would land a hit, and then Lester would retaliate.

Wrapped in black mist, Bernard often managed to shake off the impacts and keep fighting, even after being hit by Lester's fierce flames.

Lester, clad in a striking fiery battle robe, would automatically unleash fierce flames to repel any contact with the mist.

Gradually, the two reached a stalemate in mid-air.

After a seemingly endless series of encounters, Bernard, utilizing a secret technique to unleash a surge of power, found his footing shaky. The once solid black mist began to dissipate under Lester's relentless assault.

"It's time to finish this," Lester declared, gazing at the increasingly desperate Bernard while surveying the chaotic scene below.

At that moment, the entire Ministry of Magic was engulfed in flames, with a crowd of wizards gathered in the entrance hall, intently watching the battle.

Even members of the Wizengamot seized the brief pause to soar up on their broomsticks, as the area below was already ablaze, with lingering there a certain guarantee of death.

"Throw him down!" Suddenly spotting Bernard wobbling, Lester swiped downward with his right hand.

In an instant, a gigantic fiery hand materialized above Bernard's head, crashing down toward him.

Boom!!!

Taken by surprise, Bernard was slammed into the sea of flames below, where the chaotic fire beasts promptly surrounded him and launched a frenzied attack.

"Die!!!"

Simultaneously, with a serious expression, Lester waved his hands, causing a massive fiery dragon, formed of intense flames, to materialize in the inferno below.

This dragon alone took up one-fifth of the Ministry of Magic, its neck extending upward to the height of one floor.

[...]

"Roar!!!!"

The moment the colossal dragon emerged, the formerly rampaging fire beasts shrank away to the corners, acknowledging the arrival of a true sovereign.

Lester stood proudly atop the fiery dragon, surveying everything below like a deity.

"Burn him alive!"

Pointing at Bernard, now engulfed in raging flames and still attempting to put up a fight, Lester coldly stated, "Bernard, you shouldn't have crossed me; it's time to rest in hell!"

Hearing Lester's command, the massive dragon opened its huge mouth, unleashing a torrent of demonic flames.

"No!!!"

As Bernard faced the overwhelming deluge of flames, his pupils shrank in terror.

He tried to use the last remnants of the black mist as a defense, but found that everything around him had already been locked down by powerful magical energy.

He was rendered immobile in the face of this impending attack.

"No! I won't accept this!!!"

As the deadly curse approached, Bernard's eyes burned with the purple glow of fierce flames.

His weary face twisted in agony, filled with infinite resentment and regret!

He regretted his own greed, raising a tiger and inviting disaster, and lamented not having eliminated Arlis directly.

"Arlis, I'll be waiting for you in hell!!!"

With Lester's final thunderous roar, the red dragon hurtled straight at Bernard.

In an instant, the frail body of Bernard was reduced to dust under the tremendous force of the attack.

He evaporated right into thin air!
