"Arctus, what are you doing in the Forbidden Forest? There won't be anything good there."
A strange yet familiar voice came into Lewis's head, and the scene in front of him surprised him again.
He seemed to be back in the Forbidden Forest, the most dangerous place in Hogwarts. Thick vegetation covers the entire forest, and even though it has existed for thousands of years, its appearance has not changed much.
"Malfoy, what are you yelling about again?"
The man following him replied with great dissatisfaction,
"We are all adults now. You don't just remember the school rules. I don't know how obedient you were when you were a student."
"I'm not like you, Nott. I'm a prefect after all." Malfoy retorted, "Besides, I heard there are some extreme beings here."
Hearing their words, Louis instantly realized that this was another memory about Arctus Black, just after the previous memory ended.
Arctus Black, as the first guardian of the Hogwarts legacy, has been keeping his secrets in obscurity. The last memory was about the origin of the power of the legacy. Louis was curious about what surprise this memory wanted to bring him.
"You're not afraid anymore, are you?"
"Don't you know that legend?" Malfoy lowered his voice and said close to Nott and Arctus' ears, "There is a pure-blood vampire in the Forbidden Forest."
"Pure-blood vampires? Didn't they become extinct three hundred years ago?" Nott said in confusion. He usually loves to study books. Although he works next to the Muggle Pope, as a liaison between the magic world and the wizarding world, You need to be familiar with the history of both parties.
Three hundred years ago, a brutal civil war broke out among the vampire race. Coupled with the intervention of wizards, the number of pure-blood vampires plummeted.
In order to continue their own bloodline, vampires have no choice but to intermarry with wizards, but this also leads to the mixed nature of their bloodlines, so that the drawbacks of blood-sucking gradually become apparent as the vampire bloodline decreases. From that moment on, wizards began to regard them as heretics.
After three hundred years, all known pure-blood vampires were almost extinct. Although vampires have extremely long lifespans, the rise of mixed-bloods has gradually squeezed the living space of pure-bloods, coupled with the hunting of wizards. , there are no pure-blood vampires left in this world.
Although Arctus had seen vampires who only ate vegetarian food during his previous travels, they still could not control their blood-sucking nature, just like werewolves.
"That's why I said it's a legend. But few people know this news." Malfoy said, "My father only occasionally heard them talk about it."
Arctus naturally knew who Malfoy said they were. Apart from the four of them, who else knew the secrets of Hogwarts best in the world today.
Arctus naturally believed the legend told by Malfoy. After all, this was the purpose of his visit today.
"Here we are."
With an understatement, Nott and Malfoy's voices stopped, and they looked towards the field full of woods.
"This is nothing?"
As soon as Nott finished speaking, the sky suddenly changed color. A blood-red light enveloped the earth in an instant, and an extremely strong smell of blood hit his face. In an instant, the bats in the forest responded and moved toward them overwhelmingly. Three people attacked.
The huge number of bats turned into a huge blood-red palm the moment they were about to attack the three people, and the pressure of a powerful magical force fell on the three people in an instant.
Malfoy and Nott reacted quickly. They immediately raised their wands and chanted an extremely complex spell into their bloody palms. The power of ancient magic can be seen. A bolt of lightning and a huge fire snake were ejected from the two wands. Even Louis, who knew something about ancient magic, could not tell what spells the two used.
Fire snakes and thunder and lightning have a certain blocking effect on the palm, but it seems to have little effect. The magic of vampires is more powerful than the wizards imagined, not to mention that they are facing people who have fought side by side with the four founders.
of vampires.
The huge bloody palm stirred up a layer of ripples the moment it came into contact with the two magics, but it was only a layer of ripples. The palm gently grasped down, and the fire snake and thunder and lightning shattered and went away.
Along with the shattering of the curse, there was a powerful magic shock. The vampire magic was aimed at the wizard's blood. Malfoy and Nott felt the surge of blood. They both spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to their knees.
In just one round, the winner was determined. There were actually many spells against vampires, but what they didn't expect was to encounter such a powerful pure-blood vampire.
Just as the two retreated, Arctus finally took action. He seemed to be unaffected by the blood pressure of the vampire. He waved his wand quickly, and the spell marks under his feet continued to appear.
Just when the bloody palm was about to attack him, a pair of bronze armor suddenly grew out from under his feet and wrapped him around him. The armor's hand held a long sword and raised it to the sky. With a crash, the armor Slash forward and split the big hand into two.
"Oh? It's interesting..."
A surprised exclamation came from the blood, and the big hand turned into a bat fighting with the armor.
The collision between metal and magical energy sparked bursts of sparks, but it was obvious that the bat's power was superior, and the armor was quickly torn to pieces. It fell to the ground and turned into a wisp of smoke.
But Arctus did not rush around. He waved his wand again and muttered words, and a reflection effect appeared in the space of the bloody bat.
It is a mirror spell, a powerful space magic that can transform a space into a mirror world.
The effect of the mirror spell is constant compression. Unless the caster reads out the spell, he will be severely squeezed.
The bat quickly dissipated into a stream of energy under the power of mirror magic, but Dracula himself also had a certain understanding of space magic. Before the mirror space completely collapsed, he found a space loophole and escaped under the bloody light. come out.
He was very fast. The speed of vampires has always been the proud advantage of this race. His true body flashed quickly in front of Arctus, and slapped Arctus hard on the body with a palm.
Even Louis didn't see clearly how Dracula appeared. This vampire had traveled with the four founders for many years, and he knew deeply that the greatest weakness of wizards was their slightly fragile bodies.
Most magical creatures can withstand several magical attacks relying on their bodies, but as ordinary wizards and humans, their bodies are their most vulnerable part.
Dracula did not kill him. After all, as a student of Hogwarts, he had no reason to destroy the humans in front of him.
The expected attack did not succeed. The close physical attack seemed to touch the empty space.
"Illusion spell?"
The figure quickly disappeared, and Arctus' true body appeared behind him at some point. Dracula realized that he had been deceived. When he turned around, he saw Arctus holding him up with a wand. The bodies of those two partners extracted a trace of
