At the same time, Diagon Alley.
Because it was already late at night, and wizards were not as keen on nightlife as ordinary people, so the shops in Diagon Alley were basically closed. Except for a few shops that had a faint light, the entire street was basically dark. into the darkness.
Only two places were still brightly lit.
One is the Leaky Cauldron, and the other is the heavily guarded Gringotts.
It was under this circumstance that a group of uninvited guests walked into Diagon Alley from Knockturn Alley next door, hiding in the darkness in the distance, looking at the Gringotts guards under the lights.
"Sir, let me do it?" Mrs. Black took a step forward and walked to John's side and said.
"Haha, no need, wait until you show up!" John, who was shrouded in shadow as usual and couldn't see his appearance clearly, said with a chuckle.
Then he saw his hand slightly raised, and several black shadows slid from under his body like liquid through the darkness, towards the guards at the door of Gringotts.
Shadow Demon, a strange energy creature composed of pure twisted shadow energy.
In the game, this creature does not perform well.
Basically, a mage can be killed with a magic explosion or a physical sword.
For the Shadow Priest who can summon the Shadow Demon, it is only a relatively important mana recovery skill. It does average damage and does not last long.
But that's a setting for game balance.
In the real world, the seemingly inconspicuous shadow demon is actually a very terrifying creature.
Especially for the legal profession, it is simply a nemesis, even more terrifying than the well-known legal nemesis Cerberus in the Holy Light Source world.
Cerberus can restrain mages mainly because this kind of demon can swallow the magic of mages and absorb the magic of mages. At the same time, its super high magic resistance allows ordinary mages to cause minimal damage to them.
And the Shadow Demon has these characteristics!
At the same time, the Shadow Demon has a unique ability that Cerberus does not have - it can interfere with people's minds and has the spatial ability to freely shuttle through the shadows.
And the shadow demons are not as squishy as in the game. In fact, their vitality is extremely tenacious. As long as you fail to kill them at once, you can rejuvenate them as long as you give them a chance to absorb magic!
It is precisely because of these terrifying characteristics that there are actually not many shadow priests who can summon and control them. They are not recruited at will like in the game.
If the shadow priest who summons them does not have enough control, he may be killed by such terrifying creatures.
Such a terrifying creature, placed in the Harry Potter world, which is mainly about magic but at a lower level, can be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow to a certain extent.
Think about it, when a wizard is unprepared and the shadow demon suddenly emerges from its shadow, what will be the result?
Of course, this creature is not without its weaknesses, that is, it is afraid of fire, light and brainless.
Not only magical flames and holy light, but ordinary flames and strong light also have a certain killing effect on them.
As for brainlessness, it means that shadow demons do not have intelligence. If no one controls them, they will only act stupidly based on instinct. If their existence is discovered in advance, it will be easier to deal with them.
In addition, as a pure energy creature that is not very large in size, the physical attack ability of the Shadow Demon is actually not very powerful. It is a great threat to most legal professions with weak bodies, but it is not suitable for those with strong bodies. For physics professionals, that physical strength is not enough.
But now, facing a group of wizard guards who know nothing about the Shadow Demon, you can imagine what their ending will be.
Especially as the Lord of Shadows, the shadow demons summoned by John are more powerful than the ordinary shadow demons naturally born in the void.
Ever since, under John's control, the shadow demons escaped into the shadows when the lights of Gringotts were approaching. When they reappeared the next second, they suddenly sprang out from the shadows of the guards. , the tentacles firmly covered their faces, while frantically absorbing the magic power from their bodies.
In almost a short time, the outer guards could not even send out a warning, and lost consciousness due to suffocation + magic power exhaustion.
It's just that they were lucky, John didn't mean to kill anyone.
Although the "Twilight Hammer" he founded is undoubtedly a dark organization.
But after all, John is not a lunatic like Voldemort who likes to kill.
Therefore, his request to his subordinates is to try not to kill anyone if they can.
Especially ordinary people.
In his words, the purpose of the existence of "Twilight's Hammer" is to pursue powerful power, but powerful power is used to deal with the strong, not to harm the weak.
During this period of time, the people he recruited through Mrs. Black and Regulus were also young dark wizards who were relatively principled and ideal, and who only learned black magic in pursuit of power.
In terms of acting style, the "Twilight Hammer" is actually more similar to Grindelwald's Wiccan Party back then, rather than the crazy Death Eaters.
But it's just a similarity. After all, John doesn't have such unrealistic ideas as dominating the world.
As the guard at the door fell to the ground, more shadow demons entered the Gringotts hall under John's control.
At the same time, a dozen dark wizards behind John also rushed in, cooperating with the shadow demons' attack.
Soon, the second line of defense was broken.
The goblin and wizard guards in the hall were lying on the floor.
Like the guards at the door, most of them were just in a deep coma.
As for whether there were accidental deaths such as the unlucky guy hitting his head, that was not what John cared about.
The next step is to enter the goblin's treasure house.
John did not take the goblin's little "subway". Instead, under the admiring gaze of the dark wizard's subordinates, John summoned the Phoenix, and then rode the Phoenix with Mrs. Brighton and Regulus toward the deepest part of the treasure house. Go ahead.
The remaining dark wizards followed behind in the goblin "subway".
Phoenix Ao's speed is very fast, far beyond what the Fairy "Metro" can match.
Soon we arrived at the Thief-proof Falls.
It's just of no use. It caused a lot of difficulties for Hermione and the others in the original plot. The anti-thief waterfall, which can wash away all spells, is completely ineffective against a strange power like the power of shadow.
It was just a shadow barrier, and even John and the others didn't even get a hair wet.
Next is the penultimate line of defense: the fire dragon.
However, facing this fierce fire dragon, there was no need for John to take action.
The Phoenix Ao beneath him, which was originally just a little larger than a regular mount in the game, let out a sharp cry, and instantly became dozens of times stronger, transforming directly into the huge BOSS Ao in the team copy.
It directly scared the Ukrainian Iron Belly, which roared and breathed flames at John and the others, into a quail.
"Ao, watch it, don't let it hurt the people behind it," John led the two of them to jump off Ao's body and told Ao.
Ao stretched out his claws, trampled the Ukrainian iron-belly's head under his feet, and neighed, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, John nodded and followed Mrs. Black towards the Lestrange family's treasure house.
Bellatrix Lestrange's real surname is Black. As an in-law family and a frequent visitor to Gringotts, Mrs. Black is well aware of the location of the Lestrange family's treasure trove.
