Chapter Sixteen: Harry vs Khione (Part Two)
Previously in the last chapter.
After a few moments, Harry lowered his wand from the air and pointed it forward, right where Khione is. He then grabbed his right forearm with his left hand in a tight grip and said two words in a deep and powerful voice, causing the female spectators to blush heavily.
"Elemental Form…"
(In the Present; With Harry and Khione)
As soon as those words left Harry's mouth, a huge wave of Magical power erupted from where he was standing and the Magical power was heading straight at Khione, who quickly raised up an ice shield to block the huge wave of Magical power.
'Holy shit! This Magical power is ice-cold…so cold that I can actually feel it all over my body!' Khione thought, as she struggled not to shiver from Harry's Magical power. Even though she was an Ice Goddess and was used to the cold for thousands of years, she would always shiver a bit from it. 'But aside from that, I can feel Harry's Magical power increasing greatly and it's starting to make my ice shield crack a bit!'
It was true, the ice shield Khione raised up was starting to crack a bit from feeling the heavy pressure of Harry's Magical power, making the Ice Goddess a bit stunned.
"How can a boy so young and hasn't completed his O.W.L.S have this much Magical power?" Khione muttered to herself.
"Mistress Khione!" Two voices yelled out from behind Khione, making her widen her eyes. She recognized those voices. She quickly made a bigger and stronger ice shield and hoped it was strong enough to at least block the Magical power.
Satisfied that the ice shield wasn't breaking, Khione turned around to see Anna and Xenia rushing towards her with panic looks on their faces.
"What are you two doing here?!" Khione exclaimed, feeling angry that her two servants had disobeyed her orders. "I thought I told you to leave the room!"
"I'm sorry for disobeying your orders, Mistress Khione." Anna said with regret in her voice, bowing her head forward. "But me and Xenia felt Harry's Magical power and we wanted to help you."
"And we can't ignore the fact that this boy," Xenia spat, glaring at the person who was responsible for hurting her Mistress. "Is hurting you with his ice powers and normal magic. When me and Anna heard you scream of pain and felt that brat's power, we feared the worst and we came to help you." Her purple eyes became a bit misty. "And even though you are immortal, we still want to make sure that you are safe."
Khione's anger vanished when Xenia said that, and she couldn't help but gave the purple-hair woman a soft, caring smile.
"Aw, how can I stay mad at you, Xenia, for worrying about me?" Khione asked, walking over to Xenia and give her a kiss on the lips, which the purple-hair woman returned, before pulling away. "And I'm happy that you and Anna cared about my wellbeing, even when I'm facing a new Ice Elemental."
'Oh, Mistress Khione! You're too kind!" Xenia exclaimed, throwing her arms around Khione's neck and kissed her passionately again.
"Did Harry activate his Elemental Form, Mistress Khione?" Anna asked, looking at the huge Magical power with great interest, but Khione knew better. Anna was trying to ignore the jealousy she had inside her.
"Yes, he did, Anna." Khione replied, turning to look at Anna, as she gently unwrapping Xenia's arms around her neck. "This is the first time he has activate it. I'm kind of curious on how the form will turn out, even though we can't see him because of this Magical power."
"You mean ice tornado, Mistress Khione." Anna corrected, nodding her head where Harry was. "The Magical power changed into an ice tornado."
Xenia and Khione turned their gazes to look at what Anna assumed an ice tornado which was supposed to be a wave of Magical power, only to widen their eyes that the huge Magical power had indeed changed into an ice tornado.
The ice tornado was swirling around in the air in a rapid pace. It was also creating a wall of snowflakes and a gust of wind, which the wind was making the Ice Goddess's and her friend's hair flying backwards.
"Impressive ice tornado Harry created with his Elemental Form, and I really like the wind the vortex created." Khione complimented with a soft smile on her face. "What do you girls think?"
"I love the wind and the ice tornado, Mistress Khione." Anna replied with a small smile on her face.
"Do you think that Harry's Elemental Form will be the same as that man you faced a thousand years ago?" Xenia asked, ignoring Khione's question. "And do you think he has inherited that thing?"
Khione was silent for a moment, not sure how to answer Xenia's particular question. "I'm not sure if Harry has inherited that thing, Xenia." She replied. "The similarities between Harry and that man was their auras, which are dark blue, and their hair color. But there are differences between them."
"Like?" Anna and Xenia both asked.
"The man I faced was from the Black family, whose name was Brutus Arcturus Black, and Harry is from the Potter family." Khione replied, as memories of the dark-hair man that she faced a thousand years ago flashed into her mind once again. "While Harry has the looks of a Potter and Peverell, he has the dueling and cunning skills as a Black. Harry is even related to the Blacks because of his Grandmother, Dorea Potter nee Black."
(A/N: Brutus Arcturus Black is an OC person I came up with. He is not actually from the Black Family I looked up from the internet, but I thought he could be the ancestor of the Black Family)
There was silence between the three women as they continued to watch the ice tornado, which was becoming more bigger and deadly.
"Well, I think it's time for you two to leave the room so I can resume my battle with Harry." Khione said, as she started walking towards the ice shield.
"Can me and Xenia at least give you some of our powers, Mistress Khione?" Anna asked, turning to look at Khione, who stopped walking. "Using your Ice Regeneration and Blizzard Waves made you a bit exhausted and you know that it was draining your powers a bit. Despite you being a Goddess and immortal, your powers will drain like a Witch and Wizard and leave you exhausted."
Khione was very tempting to refuse Anna's offer, but she had to admit that the white-hair woman was right. She was starting to feel a bit exhausted, and her powers were starting to drain. Using Ice Regeneration doesn't drain her powers at all, but it was the Blizzard Waves that drains her powers the most.
"Alright," Khione said, releasing a light sigh. "I don't know how long that ice tornado will last, but if you two can give me some of your powers before that tornado disappears, then can you two please get started now?"
"We'll get started at once, Mistress Khione." Anna and Xenia both said at the same time.
After that, Xenia and Anna got to work on giving Khione some of their powers, while the Ice Goddess kept a train eye on the ice tornado.
It was going to be a while before the ice tornado will disappear.
(An Hour Earlier; At Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
The crowd was shocked, stunned, speechless and horrified when Harry's childhood was revealed by the boy himself.
"This…this can't be…" Bagman stuttered out. "The Boy-Who-Lived, our savior to the Wizarding World, the one who vanquished You-Know-Who, was being abused by Muggles for nearly thirteen years?"
But the crowd didn't had time to talk about the shocking information, as they felt Harry's Magical power again, but since this Magical power is ice-colder, it caused a lot of reactions to erupt once again.
"HOLY MERLIN'S BALLS!" Bagman screamed out, forgetting the fact that they are children in present, as he shivered in coldness. "I AM NOT SURE WHAT MR. POTTER JUST DID, BUT IT SURE IS COLD AS HELL!"
The teachers, including the older students, were furiously casting Hot Air Charms to make the younger students warm. But it was proving fruitless and useless, since Harry's Magical power was weighing heavily on all of them. Except Esdeath, who was the only person not effected by the cold.
"Bagman! Can you do something to get rid of the cold?!" Minerva exclaimed loudly, as she waved her wand on a pair of shivering First years. "Or better yet, can you turn off the Magical effects that you explained about?! The effects of feeling one of the champion's magic?!"
"I can't!" Bagman replied, as he tried to fight off the cold. "I can't turn off the Magical effects if the champion isn't here! There's nothing I can do!"
"Damn it!" Everyone in Europe cursed.
Because of the chaos that was happening, everyone had momentarily forgotten what Harry just said about his childhood before he went into his Elemental Form, except Hermione, who stared at Harry's screen with a look of pure horror on her face.
(Back with Harry and Khione)
'It has been a while since Harry activated his Elemental Form, and I'm starting to get a bit anxious.' Khione thought, still staring at the huge ice tornado. Xenia and Anna left the ice-covered room once again after giving some of their powers to the Ice Goddess. 'It usually takes ten minutes for the Magical power to disappear for the Goddesses to see the Elemental. So, how long will it-"
Khione's thoughts were completely gone when the ice tornado suddenly began to evaporate into tiny ice particles, making the Ice Goddess narrowed her eyes a bit. As the last ice particles evaporate, she narrowed her eyes even more from what she was seeing.
In the center of the ice tornado was Harry, standing tall, proud and confident, while looking over his left shoulder with his eyes closed. Khione was pleased to see that Harry still had blood on his face, but he seemed to change when he activated his Elemental Form.
For instance, Harry's hair was a bit longer, making it shoulder-length and his hair had a streak of pure white going across the left side of his head. His skin had become a bit paler, but it was the outfit that standout the most.
Harry's outfit was a deep red, black trimmed, long-sleeve jacket that was V-shape and went to his feet, black baggy trousers and deep red leather boots. He wore no shirt underneath the deep red jacket, revealing a small part of his upper bare chest. He had a red sash tied around the black trousers like a belt and he wore black, fingerless gloves.
It was then Khione notice that Harry was holding a weapon in his left hand, a katana sword. But the sword was different than most swords she seen. The sword's blade was completely black with a slight curve at the sharp point and there were rune symbols on the blade that were red and went from top to bottom. The cross-guard was red and was shaped like a snowflake, while the rain guard had a red gem with an eye pupil that was slitted like a snake. The hilt was black like the rest of the blade and red leather wrappings were around the hilt. At the end of pommel was a thick, black chain with red lining that had a moon symbol at the end of the chain.
"Elemental Form: Diamond Saber." Harry suddenly spoke, as he turned around to face Khione, his jacket flying behind him because of the wind. His eyes were still closed, but he opened them after a moment later, making the Ice Goddess and the crowd from Hogwarts gasped in surprised.
Harry's eyes had changed from bright green to sky-blue. They are glowing brightly that caused Khione to become a bit unnerved.
There was a long silence in the ice stronghold, as Harry and Khione stared at each other before the latter suddenly began laughing, a hysterical laugh that echoed in the large room. She was laughing so hard that tears were falling down her face.
"That's it?!" Khione shrieked in-between laughs, getting on the ground and banging her fist. "That's your Elemental Form, Harry?! That outfit you are wearing and that little sword in your hands?!" Khione's laughter increased a bit. "It looks just like a normal sword, one that people use to hang on their walls! And your outfit is so stupid and hideous! That's not an Elemental Form!"
"…" Harry didn't say anything but narrowed his eyes. He knew that he should be defending his Elemental Form, especially since the outfit was representing the Potter House, but he wasn't going to say anything.
As Harry continued to stay silent, he didn't know that Khione was having thoughts about his outfit and his sword. 'I can't believe that Harry is wearing the same outfit Ignotus Peverell use when he was battling against me during the Elemental Trials a thousand years ago. And it seemed that Harry has inherited the sword what Brutus Arcturus Black used during the Elemental Trials, but not the other item.'
Khione stopped laughing, stood up and glared hard at Harry. "I'm going to say it again, Harry. That is not an Elemental Form. An Elemental Form is design to make the person wear real ice-like clothing, not some weird Muggle clothing you have on." Khione's face turned distaste from seeing Harry's jacket, but underneath the distaste look was happiness. She was happy that Harry has activated his Elemental Form.
"If a person activates an Elemental Form, does the form come with a weapon of choice?" Harry asked, as he swung his sword a few times. "Like can the person choose a weapon for themselves or does the Elemental Form choose the weapon for the person?"
"The Elemental Form chooses the weapon for the person, Harry. Like the wand chooses the Wizard. Except that your weapon is too small. An Elemental Form's weapon should be something more sharper and bigger." Khione replied, as teaching a young child in school. "And do you want to know something?" Harry nodded. "The outfit you're wearing was the outfit Ignotus Peverell wore when he was battling against me."
Harry's eyes widened in disbelief, before he looked at his outfit. "Really? My outfit was the same as my ancestor?"
"Yes, Harry." Khione nodded her head. "Even though I said the outfit was hideous, it makes me happy to see it again." She said, smiling at the memories of seeing Ignotus Peverell outfit.
A small smile spread across Harry's face. "Thank you, Khione, for telling me that. And I promise you that I will go to Gringotts to see what the Peverell family is."
There was silence once again in the large room, before it was broken by Harry this time.
"I supposed that we should resume our battle, right?" Harry asked, pointing his sword at Khione with one hand. "After all, I do need to pass the Elemental Trials, to see if my skills have improved after the First Task." 'And get some payback for catching me off guard with that kick and those Blizzard Waves.'
"Yes, we should resume our battle." Khione agreed with a smirk, liking the fact that Harry was pissed about the sneak attack she did a few moments ago. She then got into a familiar stance that made Harry tense. "Blizzard Waves!"
The familiar pillars of ice appeared out of thin air and swirled around, before launching themselves at Harry with a wave of Khione's hand. But Harry was ready for it.
At the last moment, Harry jumped into the air to dodge the Blizzard Waves and once he landed on the ground, he started making his way towards Khione, who was shocked that the raven-hair man dodged her attack at the last moment. She got out of her shock and sent two more pillars of ice at Harry, who twisted his body to the left to dodge the first one and slashed the second one horizontally with his sword, which had secretly absorbed a small part of the ice pillar.
Harry then vanished out of thin air and appeared right in front of the Ice Goddess, crouched on the ground before raising his sword into the air to perform a downward strike. Khione's eyes widened as she watched Harry swung his sword downwards, ready to injure the Ice Goddess.
…Only for Harry's sword to meet an ice wall that Khione quickly summoned.
"How did Khione managed to block my sword?" Harry wondered, staring at Khione in amazement, before remembering that he was in a dangerous position, including the fact that he can sense a pillar of ice coming straight at him from behind. He did a long backwards jump to dodge the attack, but since the floor was made of ice, Harry began skidding on the ground for a bit, before he dug his feet into the ground to stop.
'That was too close!' Khione thought; her heart beating faster than normal. 'A couple seconds later and I would've felt that blade pierce my skin! Thank god I managed to summon a shield just in time.'
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
After Harry's ice-cold Magical power had died down, everyone in Europe let out a huge sigh of relief, very glad that the Magical power they felt was finally gone and they can be warm again.
The crown's attention went back to Harry's screen, and they were surprised to see Harry in a different outfit and holding a katana sword in his left hand.
"Look at that awesome outfit Harry's wearing!" A male from the crowd exclaimed with awe in his voice.
"He looks like a badass!" A female from the crowd exclaimed dreamily.
'What's with that sword Harry's holding?" Another person from the crowd asked.
"Is that what an Elemental Form looks like, Dumbledore?" Bagman asked, turning to look at the old Wizard. His voice being heard all over Europe. "The clothing Mr. Potter is wearing? Is that an Elemental Form?"
The crowd leaned forward to hear Dumbledore's answer.
'I'm impressed that Harry has managed to acquire the Elemental Form in just four months, even though it takes like a couple years to get the form.' Dumbledore thought, as he stared at Harry's outfit and sword with a calculating and narrowed look. 'But I'm very concerned about his Magical power. It's dark, huge and filled with anger and hate. I definitely need to talk to Harry about it.'
But before the old Wizard can say anything, the crowd heard Khione's voice.
"An Elemental Form is design to make the person wear real ice-like clothing, not some weird Muggle clothing you have on."
The crowd blinked a couple times, before realizing that Harry was indeed wearing Muggle clothing.
But before the crowd can talk about this information, Bagman suddenly announced, "Ooh, looks like Khione has used the deadly Blizzard Waves again!"
The crowd instantly turned their heads to look at Harry's screen and saw the familiar ice pillars swirling around in the before they were heading towards Harry, who hasn't even moved a muscle.
"Harry, move!"
"Why are you standing there?!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Raise your sword! Defend yourself!"
Everyone in Europe exclaimed loudly to Harry, even though he couldn't hear them. But it seemed that the words had reached him, because the moment the Blizzard Waves got close, Harry jumped over it and began making his way towards Khione.
'No way!' Everyone in Europe thought, shocked at what Harry just did. 'He jumped over the Blizzard Waves at the last moment!'
'Hmm, it seems that the Elemental Form had increase Harry's speed.' Esdeath mused, leaning back into her seat and resting her legs on the table. 'But there's got to be more to it. Time to observe the battle and see what that sword does.'
(Back with Harry and Khione)
'I got to be careful now.' Harry thought, getting into his fighting stance, which was spreading his feet a bit and holding his sword by his head with both hands. 'This is the first time I activated this form, so I'm not sure what the abilities are. But I'm going to figure out what the form does and see any changes.'
Khione was still shocked from seeing Harry moved with such speed to not only dodged her Blizzard Waves but got closed enough to strike her. The mere thought of a mortal getting closed to her and about to strike caused the Ice Goddess's blood to boil in anger, but she calmed down. Getting angry won't solve anything.
'For the second time, I lost sight of him again, and I was thinking that Harry Apparated to get close to me.' Khione thought; her bright blue eyes were narrowed. 'But now I understand, he didn't Apparate at all. He used his speed to get close to me.'
There was a tense silence once again in the ice stronghold, and the tension steadily grew higher since Harry and Khione was releasing their Magical power to the highest point that the temperate reached the sub-zero degrees.
"Ice Spikes!" Khione suddenly yelled out, placing both her hands on the ground, and a large number of ice spikes were appearing out of the ground and heading right towards Harry.
But what Khione didn't noticed was the smirk on Harry's face, as he began concentrating the Exploding Charm onto his sword, causing the red symbols on the blade to turn white. He then placed his sword into a sideways position and waited.
When the ice spikes got closed to Harry, he made his move.
"Bombarda Maxima Sword Strike!" Harry shouted, swinging his sword sideways and a wave of white light came out his dark blade. The wave of white light headed straight towards the ice spikes and Khione, who was completely caught off guard from what Harry just did.
"What the?!" Khione shrieked loudly, her eyes were wide as saucers, as she watched the wave of white light collided into the ice spikes, creating a massive explosion that sent her flying in the air.
As she crashed into the wall and slide down to the ground once again, Khione said three words and three words only.
"What the hell?!"
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
"NO WAY!" Bagman shouted. "EVERYONE, DID YOU ALL JUST SEE THIS?! DID WE JUST SEE HARRY POTTER CAST A SPELL FROM HIS SWORD?!"
Everyone in Europe was stunned and shocked to see a spell coming from Harry's sword. It was impossible, completely impossible, to cast a spell from a sword. The only way to cast a spell was a wand, so how can Harry cast a spell from his sword?
'The rune symbols on Harry's sword.' Dumbledore thought, a completely surprised look on his face. 'The rune symbols must be the reason why Harry can cast spells from his sword. I'm extremely impressed, Harry. You really are becoming a powerful Wizard, just like your Grandfather.'
But Dumbledore and the rest of the Wizarding World had one question in their minds that they were wondering.
What else does Harry has yet to show the Wizarding World?
(Back with Harry and Khione)
"What the fuck was that move you just did, Harry?!" Khione screamed at Harry, as she stood up from the ground and spat out a bit of spit and blood. "What was that?!"
"That was part of my Elemental Form's power, Khione." Harry explained, resting his black sword on his left shoulder. "This sword," The raven-hair man gestured to the black sword. "Can let me cast any kinds of spells, including the Unforgivable Curse's, as long as I concentrate my Magical power and the spell on my blade, despite it being 'small', you say."
Khione was completely stunned and shocked as she stared gob-smacked at the black katana on Harry's shoulders. Her mind was also shocked from hearing what Harry just said.
'That's…that's completely impossible…' Khione thought, her mind still shocked. 'There is no such weapon like a sword that can cast a Wizard's spell, but I have seen Elementals uses their weapons to cast an Elemental move. So, how did Harry cast a Wizard's spell?'
It was then Khione felt something sharp cutting across her shoulder to her chest, cutting her thoughts about Harry's sword. A scream of pain left her mouth as blood gushed out of the wound and stained the ice floor.
The Ice Goddess stumbled back a bit, before she regained her balance and placed a hand in the middle of the wound. She was about to use her Ice Regeneration to heal the wound, but she froze when she felt a tip of a sword underneath her neck.
"You really shouldn't be thinking when you're in a battle, Khione." Harry said, his voice was low and serious. "Especially when you're facing an Elemental. Thinking in battle will get you injured and make you look like a fool." He then jumped back away from Khione to a small distance. "And the Ice Goddess who trained multiply Ice Elementals can't afford to be a fool!"
"He took advantaged of my thinking and hit me with his sword." Khione said very quietly, ignoring what Harry said and looked at the wound on her shoulder with a complete blank look. "He also had the nerve to tell me to never think during a battle against an Elemental." She then looked towards where Harry was, and her blank look turned very furious. 'I'm getting bested to a fourteen year old boy and I hate it.'
'What is Khione saying?' Harry thought, a confused look on his face. 'And why does she suddenly look furious?'
"Tell me something, Harry. Why did you remove the tip of your blade away from my neck when you had the chance to end the Elemental Trials?" Khione suddenly ask, not even taking her blue eyes off Harry. "You could've won the event if you just killed me. So, why didn't you do it?"
Harry was silent for a long time as he thought about Khione's unnerved question. Why didn't he do it? He could've won the Elemental Trials and learned more powerful moves to make his own powers greater than before. But it was then he realized something, something that made his mind go blank and came up with one answer only: He was changing.
Harry was changing from a shy, lazy and scared person to a more confident, intelligent and powerful person who would not take shit from other people. His reputation had also changed from the Boy-Who-Lived to being the true Hogwarts Champion. The Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, a begrudgingly Hufflepuff and a surprisingly few Slytherins had to agree that Harry is the true Hogwarts champion, not Cedric Diggory, who didn't mind about Harry being the true champion.
The raven-hair man can still remember Hermione's words when he told her about the goal of proving Esdeath that he was not a weak person after the selection of the Goblet of Fire.
"While I am happy that you're about to take your studies and spell work seriously, Harry, I'm worried about that you're becoming obsessed with the idea of proving Professor Esdeath wrong about you being weak and changing into a person who believes in the survival of the fittest. I'm scared of losing you, Harry. I love you as a brother, and I don't want to lose you because of this silly obsessed idea."
"Am I really changing into that person Hermione warned me about?' Harry thought, looking at sword in his left hand with a deep frown. 'Am I really obsessed with the idea of proving Esdeath wrong about me and changing into a person who believes the survival of the fittest?' Memories of battling the Grindylows and his strange behavior caused Harry's frown to deepen more.
"Well, Harry? What is your answer?" Khione's voice broke Harry's thoughts and he looked up to see the Ice Goddess standing a few feet away from him. "Why did you not kill me when you had the chance to do so?"
"I…I found the killing part unnecessary." Harry finally replied.
"You found it…unnecessary to kill me?" Khione tilted her head to the side. "Why?"
"Even though I'm taking my studies seriously, becoming more powerful than any Wizard and believing a bit of the survival of the fittest, I don't like the idea of killing someone." Harry explained.
"But don't you want to prove yourself to the Wizarding World?" Khione asked, titling her head to the side. "To prove that you're not the Boy-Who-Lived and show them the true you? The true Harry Potter?"
Harry didn't answer but nodded his head.
"Then that case…" Khione muttered, backing up a bit. "You are a foolish boy! You had a miracle chance to end the Elemental Trials and you threw it away. As a person would say, 'a miracle only happens once'." She then spread her arms out. "Let the battle resume again! Blizzard Waves!"
Multiply pillars of ice swirled around in the air for a moment, before heading straight at Harry, who did a flip-front the first ice pillar and began running around. His movements were a blur and every time an ice pillar got closed to Harry and was about to attack him, he dodges it and continues to run around.
'What the? How is Harry moving with such speed?' Khione thought; her eyes widened a bit. 'My Blizzard Waves can't even keep up with him!' Her eyes continued to widen when she saw Harry moving from one spot to another, and in a few moments, Harry was now appearing and disappearing around Khione in a blur, while creating ice dust behind him.
"What's the matter, Khione? Can't keep up with me?" Harry taunted with a cocky smirk, as he kept moving around in a blur. "I can move a bit faster than before!"
"Don't get too cocky, Harry! Or else you'll find yourself in a bad position!" Khione snarled angrily, waving one hand to make an ice axe and swung it sideways to cut Harry in half. But to the Ice Goddess's great frustration, Harry dodged it by vanishing in thin air and appearing on the other side of the ice-covered room, before he continued running around.
Khione then summoned three ice pillars out of thin air and sent them at Harry, who widened his eyes a bit from seeing how fast the ice pillars were being summoned. He slashed the first ice pillar to his right with his sword, came to a complete stop before jumping high in the air to dodge the remaining two. Harry then quickly looked around him to see four ice pillars coming at him from the sides, front and back.
Once the ice pillars got closed enough, Harry pointed his blade forward and spun around in a circle, slicing the four ice pillars, creating a sprinkle of ice dust. He then vanished and landed on the ground.
"Did Khione's ice moves got faster?" Harry wondered, turning around to look at Khione with a narrowed look. "Or did I get slower?" He didn't had time to think about it, because an ice pillar was coming at him, and he vanished once again.
'Using the palm of my hands, my ice pillars are twice as fast.' Khione thought, waving her hands gracefully and calmly, not even moving from her spot. 'I'm surprised that an Elemental can not only survived my Blizzard Waves, but to dodge them.' A smirk suddenly spread across her face when she saw Harry getting surrounded by multiply ice pillars, which the raven-hair man didn't noticed. 'Any second now…' When the pillars of ice reached the ceiling and Harry finally notice that he was surrounded, Khione's smirk grew more. 'Gotcha now, boy!'
"Let the pillars of ice hurt you again, Harry Potter!" Khione exclaimed, thrusting her hands forward and all the ice pillars around Harry began heading towards him, ready to injure him. Khione still had that smirk on her face as she watched the ice pillars doing damage to Harry. She was a bit disappointed that she couldn't see the boy getting hurt, but the ice pillars will vanish any moment, and Harry will come out all bloody and injured and the Elemental Trials would be over.
…Only to be shocked to see the ice pillars decreasing rapidly.
"ARGHHHHHHHH!" Harry roared, slicing all the ice pillars with his sword in a rapid pace, before finishing off the last ice pillar by swinging his sword to the left, making his jacket and hair bellowing because of the cold air.
"No way…" Khione breathed out, her hair and kimono bellowing in the cold air, as she stared at Harry with shock wide eyes. "Harry sliced all my ice pillars and didn't get injured!" Her eyes further widen when she saw Harry vanished. "Where did he go?!"
"What was it you once said, Khione? 'A miracle only happens once'?" Harry asked from behind Khione, who completely stiffen. "So, what do you call for a second miracle?"
Khione didn't had time to gasp or scream as she turned around to see a black blade thrusting towards her and the sound of cutting fleshed filled the room before everything went absolute quiet.
(At Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
The crowd from Hogwarts let out a shock gasp when Harry's katana penetrated Khione's skin, but what really made them shock was the fact the Ice Goddess caught the blade with her left hand, which was spurting drops of blood onto the ice ground.
"No way! She grabbed it with her hand!" A male from the crowd exclaimed.
"Is she okay?!" A female from the crowd exclaimed worriedly.
"Of course she's okay, you idiot! She's a Goddess! They can't feel pain!" Another male from the crowd exclaimed at the female.
"How was I supposed to know?!" The same female screamed at the male who called her an idiot.
"Silence." Esdeath said in an ice-cold voice, causing the crowd to become silent instantly. "You all will be quiet, or I will assign you all a month of detentions. And we all know what my detentions are, don't we?" A sweet smile spread across her face when she saw the students go white as a ghost.
"W-w-w-we'll b-b-be q-q-quiet, Professor E-E-Esdeath!" The Hogwarts students exclaimed. "W-w-we won't say a-another w-w-word!"
"Guys, call me crazy if you want, but I swear Professor Esdeath is like a drill sergeant." Susan whispered to the champions and their hostages. The last part earned confused looks from Cho, Cedric, Fleur, Gabrielle and Krum, except Hermione, Akame, Tatsumi and Leone.
"It's a Muggle military person who ranks over recruits." Hermione explained to the confused people around her. "Like Mad Eye Moody ranked over Auror recruits."
"Oh." The confused people said.
"I wonder what Professor Esdeath's detentions are." Hannah Abbot wondered, placing a hand under her chin.
"You don't want to know at all." Tatsumi said, wincing inwardly.
"Tatsumi's right, Hannah." Leone agreed, also wincing inwardly. "You don't want to know."
(With Harry and Khione)
'No way...' Harry thought, staring at Khione in pure shock and disbelief. Like the crowd in Europe, he too was shocked to see that Khione caught his dark blade with her hand, which the blade was stained with blood. 'She caught my blade…with her bare hand?! No ice powers, just her hand only?!'
"I finally get it now," Khione said, breaking Harry's thoughts. "By concentrating all your Magical power into that outfit and small blade, your speed, spells and strength had increased very rapidly, which is exactly what I'm hoping to see." Khione then let go of the blade and both her and Harry jumped away from each other to a small distance. "And I have to admit, not many Elementals can at least activate an Elemental Form, considering that it takes nearly five to ten years to acquire."
"But it took me four months to obtain the form, Khione." Harry stated, wiping the blood off his sword with a conjured handkerchief. "So, I wouldn't say that I got the Elemental Form in five to ten years." 'Probably because I didn't had ice powers when I was born.'
"I-it took you f-four months to obtain the Elemental Form?" Khione repeated in a shocked tone. "But you would've had this ice power when you were born."
"The thing is, I never had these ice powers when I was born. In fact, I wasn't even an Elemental at all." Harry revealed, shocking Khione further. "I got my Ice Elemental powers from Esdeath who also uses the power of ice. And it also took me four months to become an Ice Elemental."
Khione couldn't believe what she was hearing at all; her mind was becoming numb, and her eyes were wide as saucers. 'That's…that's completely impossible. No Wizard can become an Elemental by training with a person who can use the power of an element. The only way to become an Elemental is to be born with the power. Just what kind of training is Harry doing with this 'Esdeath'?'
"Khione, I'm going to admit, I've been surprising you all day." Harry said, breaking Khione's thoughts. "Not only I have surprised you with a couple of new spells I learned and using basic ice moves, but I'd surprised you by activating my Elemental Form and using it's abilities so I can get close enough to hit you." He then threw the bloody handkerchief into the air and sliced in half with his sword. "However, I think the most shocking thing I did was using a spell from my sword, right?"
Khione nodded her head, her blue eyes not leaving Harry. "How did you do it, Harry? From what you said a moment ago, this is the first time you activate your Elemental Form."
"That's…a good question." Harry muttered to himself. How did he cast a spell from his sword? He didn't know much about his Elemental Form; except the outfit he's wearing was the same as his ancestor wore, but that was it. He didn't know about the sword, so how did he cast a spell? "Unfortunately, I don't have an answer."
Khione blinked owlishly a few times, not expecting such an answer. "Y-you don't know how you cast a spell from your sword?"
"Nope." Harry replied, shaking his head. "I didn't know how I cast a spell from this sword, Khione, since I don't even know much about it."
'Could it be possible that Harry has inherited Brutus's memories?' Khione thought with a curious frown. 'It has to be the only the way for him to use the sword's abilities, otherwise he would've just swung the sword around foolishly.'
Khione's thoughts were broken when she suddenly sensed a presence right in front of her, but she was prepared for Harry's sudden attack. There was no way in hell that she was going to get bested by that sudden attack.
With great speed and a wave of her hand, Khione quickly conjured an ice shield and placed it right in front of her, just as Harry swung his sword to attack the Ice Goddess.
Clank!
"What?!" Harry shouted.
"Nice try, boy!" Khione shouted. "I was prepared this time to block your sudden attack! It worked once before, but it's not going to work again!" She then vanished the ice shield and sent a fist at Harry, who hastily raised his sword up to block the first. The fist struck the sword, but the punch was so strong that it sent Harry flying into the air.
Crash!
"Oof!" Harry grunted, as he slowly slid down to the ground. "I'm going to feel that for a week."
"Ice Spikes!" Khione yelled out, slamming both hands to the ground to summon the familiar ice spikes, which had become bigger and sharper than before.
Harry quickly got up from the ground, raised his sword high above the air and began concentrated the Fire-Making Charm onto his sword, causing the symbols on the blade to turn orange this time. "Incendio Maxima Flame Strike!" Harry shouted, swinging his sword downwards, causing a wave of orange-fire to come out of Harry's sword and headed straight at the ice spikes.
Since the ice spikes were made of ice, the Fire-Making Charm had no problems or resistance of melting all the ice spikes, which turned into water instantly.
Khione, not wanting to get hit by the Fire-Making Charm, moved one hand towards the water on the ground, and with a wave, the water had risen into the air and began swirling around before the Ice Goddess sent the water towards the Fire-Making Charm.
The action Khione was doing right now just gave Harry an idea. An idea that would do a lot of damaged to the Ice Goddess, but he needed to start the plan now, otherwise he won't get another chance to do it.
Holding his sword in a sideways stance, Harry began concentrating the Water-Making Charm onto his sword, which made the symbols to turn liquid-blue. Once Khione looked his way when she was done dealing with the Fire-Making Charm, Harry made the first phase of the plan he just thought.
"Aquamenti Water Wave!" Harry shouted, swinging his sword around in a circle to release a huge wave of water, which caused everything in the room, including Khione, to become wet.
"Thanks for the sudden shower, Harry." Khione said sarcastically, moving her wet brown locks away from her face. "What was that spell supposed to do, give me a cold shower or have my clothes wet so you can see right through them?"
"That's a big no for the last part, Khione." Harry said, shaking his head. "You may be beautiful, but I'm dating two girls I love and I'm not going to ruin their feelings by looking at your see-through clothes."
A bright smile appeared on Khione's face when she heard Harry's matured answer.
"But enough about my love life. It's time for me to finished what I was about to do to you, Khione." Harry said with a sadistic smile on his face, causing Khione to lose the bright smile on her face. Instead of attacking her, the raven-hair man created an ice stage behind him with a wave of his right hand and jumped on it. He then aimed his sword at the water, causing Khione to become confused.
'What is he doing?' Khione thought, staring at Harry with a raised eyebrow. 'How is aiming at the water going to-' Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw the runes on Harry's sword turned yellow, making her a bit worried. She doesn't know what spell Harry was going to use, but she was sure that it was going to cause a lot of damage.
The worriedness Khione had increased tenfold when she saw lightning surrounded the dark sword and realized a horrified, yet important, fact: Harry was going to use a lightning spell on the water.
'OH, SHIT! HE'S PLANNING TO DO A COMBO MOVE!' Khione thought, as panic and horror overtook her mind.
"Lightning Static Attack!" Harry shouted, swinging his sword sideways to release a wave of yellow lightning, which was heading towards the water.
Khione was so shocked and scared that she didn't had time to protect herself as the lightning attack hit the water and traveled over to her in a very fast pace. The moment she felt the slightest tingles of electric in her body, she let out a huge,
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!"
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
"Harry is really kicking Khione's ass." Leone said, staring at Harry's screen with amazement and awe on her face.
"Language, Leone!" Hermione chided.
"I'm impressed what Harry is doing right now." Cedric stated, ignoring the bickering between Hermione and Leone. "Not only he's using different ice moves in the beginning, but he's also using different spells, too."
"Is that a good thing or bad thing, Ced?" Cho asked with a confused look on her face.
"It's a good thing, Cho, because when you're in a battle, you want to use different spells instead of using the same one repeatedly." Akame said, finally taking her red eyes off Harry's screen to look at the Asian girl. "You also want to make sure that you don't stay one spot forever, otherwise you're either going to get injured or captured. That's an important fact about dueling or battling."
"Amazing…" Cho said with awe in her voice.
"I really like the lightning and water move Harry just did." Tatsumi said, greatly impressed with the combo move Harry came up with. "When did he learn to do that?"
"Maybe Professor Flitwick told him." Hannah replied Tatsumi's question. "He was a Dueling Champion when he was young."
"Harry is probably one of the most powerful and smartest Wizards in Hogwarts." Susan said with a smile. "He spends so much time in the library, looking over all kinds of books, like Magical Creatures, Transfiguration, Charms, Runes and Defense. He also looks over advance books from the Restricted Section. And when he's done look over the spell books, he goes into the Forbidden Forest and tests the spells out." Susan was earned with disbelief looks from everybody around her, including Hermione.
"Susan, you are kidding, right?" Hermione asked, disbelief in her voice. "Harry actually goes into the Forbidden Forest to test new spells out?"
"Yeah, Harry does go into the Forbidden Forest to test new spells out, Hermione." Susan replied, nodding her head. "He has been doing that for a while now." The red-hair girl sent the bushy brown-hair girl a confused look. "Didn't Harry tell you about it?"
"No, he didn't!" Hermione exclaimed, a look of anger on her face. "Why didn't he tell me about it?"
"Maybe because when Harry, Susan and Daphne are finishing practicing the new spells, they stay in the forest to have passionate love." Leone said, wriggling her eyebrows in suggestion. A grin spread across her face when she saw the redness on Susan's face. "I knew it! You three have been doing 'that' in the forest!"
"I'm so jealous that you got a handsome boyfriend, Susan, and I don't." Hannah said grumpily, releasing a huff. "When am I going to get a boyfriend?"
"Maybe if you stop sending dreamy looks to a certain shy Longbottom and spend time with him, you will get a boyfriend." Susan teasingly said, causing everyone to laugh at the blond-hair girl, whose face turned bright red.
"Ooh, looks like Mr. Potter is about to do something amazing!" Bagman suddenly said, making Susan, Akame, Hannah, the champions and their hostages to turn their attention towards Harry's screen.
(Back with Harry and Khione)
'Time to step it up.' Harry thought, as he placed one hand on the ground and began concentrating his Magical power on his most powerful ice move. "Ice Cannons!"
The familiar rows of ice cannons, which seemed to be bigger than before, appeared in a circle, ready to fire at the paralyzed Khione, whose eyes widen from seeing that ice move. She tried to move, but the lightning and water combo was still affecting her body. She did, however, closed her eyes when she saw the ice energy balls heading straight towards her.
Boom!
White smoke filled the air as Harry slowly walked over to where Khione was, with his sword raised and ready to defend himself. But when he got closed to the white smoke, a sudden coldness filled the air and Harry jumped back to avoid the coldness.
"THAT'S IT!" Khione screamed loudly, causing the white smoke to disappear to reveal the Ice Goddess and boy, did she look terrible and angry. Her brown hair, once wet, was now dry and sticking straight up from the lightning attack, something that Harry snorted a bit. Her face was covered in blood and bruises and her dark blue outfit was teared up so much that it was barely protecting her modesty. "I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU SURPRISING ME ALL DAY, POTTER! THAT IS THE LAST STRAW!"
At the end of her shout, Khione suddenly vanished from her spot and appeared right in front of Harry, while sending an ice-covered fist at the Ice Elemental.
'Shit, too fast!' Harry thought, quickly raising his sword up to block the punch Khione was about to throw at him. But Khione grabbed the sword by the blade and roughly pulled it towards her, making Harry stumbled forward. She then channeled a small ball that was filled with ice energy and punched Harry on the left side of his face with great force that caused the audience from Hogwarts to wince.
"Argh!" Harry yelled in pain, feeling the skin on the left side of his face being teared off. It was like below-zero cold was being poured on his face. He can feel something warm and wet running down his face and knew that it was blood.
Sensing a fist coming straight at him, Harry ducked down and jumped backwards to land a few distance away from Khione. After landing, he conjured a small mirror and looked at the damage on his face. Aside from the blood that was running down, there was a reddish mark on his face. Harry knew that it was going to leave a scar, which won't mind him at all.
"Aww, did the punch I did to your face hurt, Harry?" Khione said with mock sadness and concerned. "Are you going to cry like a little baby?"
"Screw you, Khione!" Harry yelled angrily, extremely pissed at the voice Khione was doing. "I'm not going to cry like a child! Crying is for the weak!"
After that, Harry rushed at Khione with speed that no one would be able to pick up, but Khione, who had picked up Harry's speed, also rushed at Harry, not before summoning an ice sword. Once they met in the middle of the ice-covered room, they began clashing their swords against each other in a fast pace.
'This might take a while…' Harry and Khione both thought, as they sent each other a slash with their swords.
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
"Holy Merlin…" A male from the crowd muttered.
"They're so fast!" A female from the crowd exclaimed.
"I can't even see their weapons clashing against each other!" Another male from the crowd exclaimed.
Esdeath could feel a smirk spreading across her face as she listened to the crowd's exclamation about her pupil. Not only Harry was going toe to toe against the Ice Goddess, but he was starting to talk like a person who believes the survival of the fittest. That was a very good thing, since Esdeath has been pounded the information into Harry's head, wanting to make sure to use the survival of the fittest as a word of advice to push him further into his training.
However, despite the training she was giving Harry, Esdeath can feel Akame's glare at the back of her head and she couldn't help but sigh. Akame has been a nuisance to the blue-hair woman ever since she had started training Harry, and it didn't help that the raven-hair assassin would glare at Esdeath during class or dinner.
But Esdeath was not stupid. She knew the reason why Akame was acting like a nuisance: The raven-hair assassin was worried about Harry, worried that Esdeath's teaching was turning him into a person who believes the survival of the fittest.
'Honestly,' Esdeath thought, an annoyed look on her face. 'What does Akame know about Harry? Nothing, absolutely nothing about him. She may have spent time with him for the last four months, but I know him the longest.' It was true, whenever Esdeath and Harry aren't training, they would spend time together and tell each other about their lives.
Some people would say that it was a student and teacher bonding, but it wasn't. It was a mother and son bonding. That's right, Esdeath considers Harry her son, even though he strongly resembles Tatsumi's and Akame's son, with Harry inherited Tatsumi's green eyes and messy hair and Akame's black hair and pale skin.
Esdeath never told the Empire Group about this fact, since it could lead to disasters, like Akame trying to separate her and Harry and Leone teasing the Ice Queen of the Capital merciless. Esdeath wasn't too worried about Tatsumi's opinion, considering that he was trying to change her mental well-being ever since she told the brown-hair assassin about her past.
'The look on Tatsumi's face was priceless when I told him about my past.' Esdeath thought, enjoying the look of shock on her boyfriend's face with a smile. The smile turned into a frown when she imagined a smiling Harry replacing Tatsumi. Why is she suddenly thinking about Harry? She loves Tatsumi as a lover, so why did the image change into Harry?
Esdeath can worry about her thoughts about Harry and Tatsumi later. Right now, she needed to continued watching Harry fighting against the Ice Goddess.
(Back with Harry and Khione)
Harry and Khione kept trading blow and blow with their swords, while moving around in a blur, which Harry's blur was red because of his red jacket, and Khione's blur was blue because of her kimono. There were a few times that both ice users used their legs to kick each other, but they would dodge it or block it with their own legs. And needless to say, both Harry and Khione are getting very annoyed.
"Take this!" Harry shouted, sending a horizontal slash at Khione's mid-section, only for his sword to be block by Khione's ice sword.
"That was a pathetic slash, boy!" Khione exclaimed, thrusting her ice sword forward at Harry, who leaned to the right to dodge. "Why don't you do me a favor and surprised me with another move?!"
"Oh, I got a move for you, Khione! A move that will give me the advantage!" Harry shouted, as he jumped back to a small distance after he and Khione stopped clashing their swords against each other. Wasting no time, the raven-hair man began concentrating an ice move, but the ice move wasn't going to appear from thin air. No, the ice move was going to come from Harry's sword, which the rune symbols turned icy blue.
Once he made sure he had enough Magical power in the blade, Harry readied his sword and took a deep breath. He needed to have his energy back because transferring a lot of Magical power into his sword was not only draining his Magical Core, but his exhaustion as well.
"Starting to feel exhausted, Harry?" Khione asked with a smirk on her face. "It must be true, considering all the Magical power you've been transferring into your sword."
"I may be exhausted a bit," Harry said, a slight cough of blood leaving his lips, causing Khione to lose the smirk on her face. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to give up. I'm not leaving this place until I beat you."
A frown appeared on Khione's face as she observed Harry's form. "While I am flattered that you have a desire to beat me, Harry, you are almost at your limit. Despite getting your body healed from all the abused things your relatives did and training for the last four months, you can't keep fighting forever. In case you haven't noticed, your Elemental Form is straining your body. It's causing you to become exhausted."
"Bu I'm worried about you, Harry." Khione continued, causing Harry to raise an eyebrow. "Have you not noticed a few things about yourself? Like your weird behavior about believing the survival of the fittest? Your thirst for knowledge? A desire to face stronger Wizards?"
"I may have noticed my weird behavior today." Harry said, remembering the events when he was battling against the Grindylows.
"That attitude of yours is exactly the reason why there are no Elementals out there in the Wizarding World." Khione said, as memories of the past Elementals filled her mind. "They abused their powers to get what they want, and they, like yourself, believed in the survival of the fittest and believed that Muggles are not worthy. It's what caused Salazar Slytherin to start the Blood Status."
"…" Harry didn't say anything.
"We don't have to do this anymore." Khione said, slowly walking towards Harry before stopping a few feet away from him. "This fight has gone long enough, and I'm willing to let you be the victor. I don't want the last Elemental to perish, just because you have this desire to prove everyone wrong about you. I can feel your hate and anger at the people who abused you and Dumbledore. If you let those emotions take control of you, you'll go down a path that you won't be able to walk away from. It will cause you to go Dark."
For a moment, Khione thought that Harry was going to consider her words, considering that Harry had a pensive look on his face, but her words didn't seem to reach Harry as he shouted, while swinging his sword in a downwards strike, "Deep-Zero Arctic Slash!" A white wave of ice with blue highlights headed straight at Khione, whose eyes widen from the sudden ice move before hastily summoning an ice shield to block the attack.
"Don't you dare tell me what to do, Khione." Harry whispered quietly, though his voice traveled across the large room. "You don't know a single thing about me. No one does, not even an adult. They think they do, but they don't. I don't care if you are worried about me. I stopped caring about adults' concerns about me when I received upsetting information, except Esdeath, the teacher who I love as a mother."
"And the path I'm going down is nether Light or Dark. I'm walking the Road to Neutral." Harry continued. "I'm a Grey Wizard, and I don't give a shit if the Ministry starts writing stories about me. As far as I'm concerned, the stories mean nothing to me at all. So, don't you go tell me what's Light or Dark, because there is no Light, Good, Evil or Dark. There's only power in this world and people who cannot seek this power are weak and have no worthy of becoming a true Pureblood."
There was very tense silence in the ice stronghold as Harry and Khione stared at each other before the latter broke it.
"I see…" Khione finally said, her voice was very flat, and her blue eyes were a bit dull. "Instead of taking my offer to end the Elemental Trials, you still want to keep going until you exhausted your Magical Core, despite your body objections of resting." A look of irritation appeared on Khione's face, including her eyes. "Fine then, we'll keep fighting. But just to be clear, I'm done holding back."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"This outfit is not even my Elemental Form." Khione said, gesturing to her ruin kimono. "This is just my regular outfit." A smirk appeared on Khione's face when she saw the look of shock on Harry's face. "Yes, Harry. This whole time, you've been wasting your Magical power. And now, it's time for me to unleased my true power!"
With that, Khione spread her arms out like she was about to give someone a hug and said two words that caused dread to fill Harry's stomach.
"Elemental Form…"
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
Everyone in the Wizarding World that was still watching the battle between Harry and Khione was starting to get worried. The battle has been going on for three hours, and they can see that Harry was starting to become exhausted from using so much Magical power and running around. Not to mention, he had a lot of cuts on his body and was still bleeding, meaning he could go unconscious from blood loss.
The crowd's worriedness increased when they saw Harry coughed some blood out his mouth, though some of the crowd, namely Malfoy and his gang of Slytherins, were looking gleeful at seeing the Boy-Who-Lived losing a lot of blood.
"Why is Harry coughing out some blood?" Hermione asked in a worried tone. She was the only person who was extremely worried about her friend and seeing him coughing out blood made the worriedness inside the bushy-hair girl increased tenfold.
"The Elemental Form is starting to strain Harry's body." Akame explained, also getting worried about Harry. "When using a weapon or form for a long time can cause terrible side effects to the body."
"Not to mention, Harry's using so much Magical power." Cedric added. "Concentrating a lot of magic onto a spell that you want can cause your body to become exhausted. And since he has a lot of cuts on his body, he is suffering blood loss."
"Will he be okay?" Hannah asked, looking at Harry's screen with a worried expression on her face, along with Susan.
"Maybe, but unless Harry can get back here to get healed up, he has to fight the blood loss and unconscious." Cedric replied grimly.
Silence took over the champions and the hostages as they, along with the crowd from Hogwarts and the Wizarding World, continued to watch the battle between Harry and Khione, which was starting to become entertaining in Bagman's and Esdeath's case, with the former liking to commentate the battle and the latter liking the battle strategies Harry was using, and so far, nothing interested was happing. Except when Harry used a water and lightning combo attack.
It wasn't until the crowd began whispering to themselves when Khione started talking about how the Elementals disappeared because of believing of the survival of the fittest and the fact that Salazar Slytherin used the survival of the fittest to make the Blood Status. The whispering increased when Harry mentioned upsetting information.
"What upsetting information is Harry talking about?" Tatsumi asked with a frown. "Hermione, do you know what Harry's talking about?"
"No, I don't know what Harry's talking about, Tatsumi." Hermione replied, shaking her head. "He didn't tell me about the information when Professor McGonagall dragged him off to her office." A scared expression appeared on her face. "But…when I saw him entered the Common Room after he was done talking with Professor McGonagall, he had this very angry look on his face, and he was leaking out magic that it caused me and everyone in the Common Room to freeze. I never seen Harry that angry before, and I was too scared to ask him questions."
"It sounds like the information McGonagall told Harry must be very important for him to leak magic like that." Leone said with a deep frown.
"Susan, do you know what Harry's talking about?" Cho asked, turning to look at Susan. "You're his girlfriend and you and Daphne spend much time with him, so you must know what he's talking about."
Susan let out a deep sigh when Cho asked that question. "It's not my place to say it. If you want to know, you have to ask Harry." She was earned a couple of disappointment huffs that made her smile a bit. However, the huffs of disappointments were silence when they heard Harry speak again.
"The Road to Neutral?" Tatsumi asked with a raised eyebrow. "What's that?"
"The Road to Neutral is a road that walks between the Light and Dark, meaning that Harry can either use Light spells or Dark spells." Hermione explained, learning what Daphne told her about the different fractions of the Wizarding World.
"Oh." Tatsumi said.
The crowd suddenly became shocked when they heard Harry speak out a quote that a certain person used during the First Wizarding War.
"There is no Light, Good, Evil or Dark. There's only power in this world and people who cannot seek this power are weak and have no worthy of becoming a true Pureblood."
"Oh, Merlin…" Minerva breathed out in shocked and horror before turning to look at Dumbledore, who is hanging his head down. "Albus, he's talking like You-Know-Who."
"This is all your fault, Esdeath!" Leone yelled, getting the students at Hogwarts, as well as everyone in the Wizarding World's, attention.
"My fault?" Esdeath asked, curiously titling her head to the side. "How is this my fault? I didn't do anything." She was earned with disbelief looks from everyone around her, including the Professors of Hogwarts.
"What do you mean it's not your fault and didn't do anything?!" Leone shrieked angrily. "You're the reason why Harry is pushing himself and his body to the limit and you're also the reason why Harry's attitude changed!"
"I knew it was a bad idea to have you teach at Hogwarts." Dumbledore finally said, lifting his head up and turned to look at Esdeath with a frown.
"I don't see what the big deal is, Dumbledore." Esdeath said, waving a dismissive hand at Dumbledore, whose frown deepen.
"The big deal is, you've been corrupting Harry's mind when you first started training him!" Akame shouted, making everyone around her shattered away. "Not only you insulted his parents and call him weak when we first met him, but you also pounded the knowledge of survival of the fittest into his head, and now look at him! He's talking like you!"
"I saw potential in those green eyes, and I thought I give the boy a little push." Esdeath said, shrugging her shoulders uncaringly, causing Akame's and Leone's face to go red in anger. "And besides, we should be proud of Harry for the way he is."
"Proud?! Proud of what?!" Leone shrieked, releasing a small amount of killing intent, causing everyone around her to freeze. "Proud that Harry is becoming a cold, powerful and uncaring person who doesn't care about saving people and believes the survival of the fittest?!"
"Yes. We should be proud of Harry becoming like you said, Leone. A cold, uncaring and powerful person that believes in the survival of the fittest and would not save anyone who is too weak to even be in this world." Esdeath replied in a most obvious, yet blunt, voice, shocking not just Akame and Leone, but the entire Wizarding World.
The entire Wizarding World was so shocked that they didn't notice that Khione had activated her Elemental Form.
(Back with Harry and Khione)
'Are you fucking kidding me?!' Harry thought, as he summoned an ice dome to protect him from the wave of coldness, along with an icy mist, Khione developed when she said her Elemental Form. 'All this time, I've been wasting my Magical power on a Goddess who wasn't even using her Elemental Form?! How can I be so foolish?! I should've seen it! As soon as we started battling, I thought Khione's outfit was the Elemental Form, only for the outfit to be a normal outfit! I'm so foolish!'
Just then, after Harry got rid of his thoughts, the wave of coldness vanished as if it was never there in the first place, and the icy mist started to slowly evaporate, revealing a silhouette figure in the mist. Once the icy mist was completely vanished, Harry became extremely tensed from what he saw and slowly shifted into his sword in front of him, not even realizing that he had an ice dome surrounded him.
Standing in the middle of the icy mist was Khione, who had her eyes closed to either protect her from the icy mist, or just wanting to make a grand show. But she seemed to undergo a transformation when she activated her Elemental Form, and Harry took his time to observe her, which he regretted to do so as his face became slightly red.
Khione's skin was now blue instead of snow-white, and there were a couple of white markings on her arms and legs, including her face. Her hair, once brown, was now light green with blue tips at the end, and some of blue-green locks were swept to the side to reveal her forehead, where a single scar was visible to see.
But what really made Harry's face a bit red was the outfit Khione was wearing. It wasn't a dress, robes, kimono, or a simple shirt or pants.
The outfit was lingerie.
Lacy, silver lingerie with white outlines is what Khione's wearing, and since the outfit was showing off a lot of the Ice Goddess's skin, it further increases her beauty. Luckily, some of the skin was blocked off from view by a very long light-blue scarf that was wrapped around the chest, making the soft fabric an X-shape, and the lower body, making the fabric a small skirt. Since the scarf was long, some of the fabric was flying in the air behind Khione, almost like she used a Levitation Charm to make it float in the air.
'Get your mind out of the gutter, Potter.' Harry thought, as he slapped himself in the face to get rid of lewd thoughts about Khione's outfit. 'You're dating two girls you loved, and a woman wearing lingerie isn't going to change my mind about dumping them.'
"Elemental Form: Frozen Rose." Khione said, causing Harry to almost gap at her voice. It was like the voice was mixed with a Phoenix and a Vampire. And the mixed voice was causing a slight tingle sensation in Harry's head, making him grip his head with one hand. Harry shook his head to clear the tingle sensation, but it only made the sensation stronger and slight pain was starting to appear.
"Damn tingling sensation…" Harry muttered, gritting his teeth. "Why won't it go away when I shook my head?" However, he didn't had time to think about this weird sensation when he suddenly sensed something coming towards him. Looking up, Harry was met with a sharp icicle that somehow gotten past his ice dome and was heading towards his right eye. Panicking a bit, he quickly leaned backwards to avoid the icicle, and the said icicle went through the ice dome and crashed into a wall. If he was a bit slower, he would've lost his eye. "Holy crap!"
"Damn it, you dodge it!" Khione shouted, pouting like a child and stomp her feet at the ground in frustration, causing Harry and the spectators from Hogwarts to sweat drop. Though, it did gave Harry a chance to see Khione's eyes, which were still bright blue but with a glowing green in the middle. "Why did you have to dodge my attack?!"
"If I didn't dodge, I would've lost my eye, you stupid bitch!" Harry shouted back at Khione.
"How dare you call me a bitch?!" Khione glared at Harry.
"Oh, I dare!" Harry glared back at Khione. "And do you need me to spell it out? It's B-I-T-C-H."
"That's it! For using such language, I guess I need to teach you some manners!" Khione exclaimed, surrounding herself in her aura before she waved her hand. "Thousand Ice Shards!" A thousand ice shards with pointed tips were aimed at Harry in all directions, and with another wave from Khione, they were heading towards him in a very rapid pace that caused Harry to be surprised. He wasn't sure, but he could've sworn that Khione's attack were getting faster and faster.
Harry quickly waved his hand to vanish the ice dome and jumped high into the air to dodge the ice shards. However, the moment Harry got ready to jump, some of the ice shards got lucky enough to pierce through his legs, making him cried out in pain and causing a trail of blood to run down his legs. "OW!"
'Now's my chance to get close enough to hit him!' Khione thought, as she summoned a pair of ice wings that were shaped like an angel and risen up into the air with a soundless flap before she started gliding towards Harry, who was unaware of what was happening as he was trying to get the ice shards out of his legs. Once behind him, Khione whispered in Harry's ear. "Hello, Harry."
Harry whirled around, wide eye and forgetting what he was doing, to see Khione floating behind him with a pair of ice wings on her back. 'How did she get close to me?!' Harry thought, as he tried to raise his sword up, but Khione punched it with one hand, causing the black katana to be sent flying away. The Ice Goddess then grabbed Harry in a tight grip around the throat and moved one hand up to summon a ball of ice energy that was shaped like an X before thrusting the energy ball towards the right side of Harry's mid-section, which pierce through his body to make an X-shape scar.
Harry cried out in pain again when he felt a wave of extreme coldness in his mid-section before it was replaced by a warm and wet sensation that was traveling down his body. But Khione wasn't done yet as she, after making sure she still had a tight grip, began punching Harry's stomach with such strength that it almost caused Harry to vomit, but he managed to hold it in and raised one hand up to channel a wandless and non-verbal Flipendo Jinx onto his hand before curling the hand into a fist and sent a punch at Khione's stomach, who didn't had time to dodge or block it.
Khione was sent flying in the air the moment she felt the fist, but because she had ice wings, it didn't take her long to recover. Harry, on the other hand, didn't had ice wings and was sent crashing into the ground, causing a small dust of ice to appear. But he didn't care as he was busy thinking. 'How the hell did Khione got behind me? I would've sensed her presence, but my senses didn't pick up or alert me at all. Could it be that her Elemental Form is blocking my senses?'
"A wandless and non-verbal spell?" Khione asked in a surprised tone, as she descended to the ground. "I'm impressed, Harry, not many Wizards or Witches can use wandless spells."
Harry didn't say anything but got up from the ground and waved his hand behind him that caused his katana to come flying towards him and into his awaiting hand. He then slashed downwards to get rid of the small dust of ice.
"Ooh, staying silent, huh?" Khione asked, a smirk appearing on her face. "You got nothing to say, Harry?" Silence is what she got from Harry before she sighed. "Well, it doesn't matter. I might as well start using my advanced Elemental Moves, including using my Secret Arts."
"Secret Arts?" Harry asked in a confused tone. "What's that?"
"The Secret Arts are the hidden and more powerful techniques an Elemental can use." Khione explained. "There are three power levels of using an Elemental Move and they are the basics level, the advance level and the Secret Arts. The basic level is to make people practiced their element, the advance level is to make their own Elemental Moves, and the Secret Arts…" She paused. "Well, you're about to find out, Harry."
If Harry wasn't extremely tense before, he was now because he doesn't even know what a Secret Art is. He never heard of it before when he was reading the Elemental books Esdeath gave him.
Khione slammed both hands on the ground and announced loudly, "Elemental Secret Arts: Darkness Blizzard Creation!" Nothing happened at first, but the ice-covered room was suddenly engulfed in a flash of blue light, and the flash of light was so bright that it caused Harry to cover his eyes with his hands.
'What the hell is that bright light?!' Harry thought, as he tried to summon an ice dome to protect himself from the light, but the attempt was useless because the room began shaking very violently like an earthquake, causing him to drop to the floor. 'And what the hell is this shaking?!'
All Harry could do now is wait until the light dies down and the earthquake to stop.
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
While Harry was thinking on the floor, the crowd from Hogwarts was in chaos because of the bright light. It was shining brightly and it was causing a lot of people to exclaimed things like,
"Holy Merlin, that light is bright as hell!"
"I can't see a thing!"
"My eyes!"
"What is happening?!"
"To everyone who is watching this, close your eyes and turn away from the screen!" Dumbledore ordered; his voice being carried all over the Wizarding World.
'I don't know what that light is, but be careful, Harry.' Susan and Daphne both thought, as they were busy shielding their eyes from the blue light.
(Back with Harry and Khione)
Harry wasn't sure how long it took for the flash of light to faded and the earthquake to stop, but it seemed to take about ten to fifteen minutes to finish, and he slowly opened his eyes. He was still lying on the floor when the earthquake started, and he stood up from the ground after picking up his sword he let go of during the earthquake.
After getting his bearings right, Harry stood up and look up to see what happened, only to let out a gasp and become extremely baffled what he saw.
Instead of a large, ice-covered room with banners and torches, Harry was standing in a place – a place that he just couldn't describe at all. All around him was blackness with tiny bits of blue lights that would flicker slightly. It was like he was outer space! The thought of that made Harry widened his eyes before he instantly looked down and to his very great relief, he wasn't in outer space. He was just standing on solid ice.
'Thank the heavens!' Harry thought, getting onto his knees and sending a silent prayer to the heavens.
"Do you like my Secret Art, Harry?" Khione asked, appearing right in front of Harry, who looked up to see a proud smirk on her face.
"This is the weirdest and scariest shit I have ever seen in my whole life." Harry admitted, standing up and looked around. "And I thought I was in outer space because of the endless darkness and the blue lights that flickers. But I'm just glad that it's an illusion."
(Back Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
"You got that right, Harry/Potter! It scared us for a moment!" Everyone in the Wizarding World exclaimed, completely baffled from what they were seeing. Even Esdeath was baffled from what she was seeing.
(Back with Harry and Khione)
A sudden, soft chuckle escaped Khione's lips, causing Harry to raise an eyebrow in confusion. "What's so funny, Khione?"
"Oh, I was just thinking past memories of your ancestor when he battled me, Harry." Khione replied, remembering the look of shock on Ignotus's face when she activated her Secret Art, the same one she just said a few moments ago. "And he even said the exact same words you said about this being an illusion."
"Really?" Harry asked, getting a nod of confirmation from Khione. "Then, despite not knowing the Peverell family, I must've inherited my ancestor's words."
'Oh, you inherited more than just your ancestor's words, Harry.' Khione thought with a small snort. 'You also inherited the Cloak of Invisibility, one of the Deathly Hollows that my friend, Death, created and gave to the three Peverell brothers.'
"What the hell is this place?" Harry asked, breaking Khione's thoughts.
"This place, Harry, is one of my favorite Secret Arts. The Darkness Blizzard Creation." Khione explained. "The Elemental Move makes every surrounding thing turned to darkness, and the blue lights that flickers slightly represents my Magical power. The more blue lights they are, the powerful my attacks will be." Seeing that Harry was about to ask a question, she continued. "However, the reason why it's called Darkness Blizzard Creation,is because I can create almost everything that is life-like in this room."
"Create life-like stuff?!" Harry exclaimed, widening his eyes. "Like, instead of having an ice Dragon, it will be a real-life, fire-breathing Dragon?!"
"Yep!" Khione replied with a bright smile on her face, as if she didn't mind that Harry was starting to panic. "That's the point of this Secret Art, to turn ice into real-like animals or objects!"
Harry couldn't form words at all as he took a step back, while looking around with a scared expression. Cold sweat was appearing on his face, and his breathing became faster. 'Fuck, this is bad! If Khione just said about this Secret Art was true, then I'm fuck! She could create any Magical Creature out of thin air, which I'm sure I can handle, but I'm worried about her summoning Dementors! I don't know if I can produce a Patronus Charm with my sword!'
"So, Harry…" Khione's voice forced Harry to look up to see a sadistic smirk on her face. "Shall we start the battle again?"
Alright, I hope you readers enjoyed this combined chapter. I was going to have one more part chapter, but I decided to have all the chapters combined. The next chapter will be the finale of the Harry vs Khione, and there will be either three to four parts of the chapter.
