Assassins in the Wizarding World.
Quick Note – Before we get into the chapter, I have an important announcement to make and it's about this chapter. Instead of being a part chapter for the previous chapter, which is part one, this chapter is going to a whole different one with a different title. The title of the chapter will be called Elemental Secret Arts Released.
With what I said out of the way, let's head into the chapter.
Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Elemental Secret Arts Released.
(At Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
Like the battle between Harry and the Dark Lord, there was a deathly silence all around the entire Magical continent of Europe and Hogwarts, only this silence is much deathlier than before and horrifying as everyone stared at Harry's screen with very wide eyes. They were currently having a very hard time to accept what Riddle said about Harry being raised to die as both a sacrificial martyr and a Horcrux vessel. Like him, they thought every word was lies.
Sadly, though, due to being under a Truth Potion that reveals the truth, every word had been real.
"Is this true, Minerva?" Esdeath asked very coldly, breaking the deathly silence as she glared extreme daggers at the old woman who felt an extremely cold chill running down her spine. She looked livid as hell, and it grew more upon hearing Harry's anguish scream. "Did Dumbledore really raise Harry, my son, as both a sacrificial martyr and a Horcrux vessel because he knew about the Horcrux being inside him the whole time? You better answer honestly before I do the same thing to you like I did with Dumbledore."
'Merlin, please give me the strength to face a mother's wrath!' Minerva prayed to the heavens as she gulped fearfully when Esdeath, who had a chilling sadistic smirk, summon a large ice sword in her hand and wave it around tauntingly. 'Especially one who is a powerful Ice Elemental and doesn't have any problems cutting off limbs!'
(With Harry and Riddle)
Harry has no idea how long he had been crying heavily on the ground upon learning about Riddle's revelations and Dumbledore's betrayal, but once he got his bearings under control…he felt very, very dark extreme rage coursing through his entire body, which made his pure rage upon learning Snape leaked a stupid prophecy to Riddle completely paled to comparison. He also felt something else inside him, a weird feeling he couldn't describe, but he gave it no mind at all as he was busy stewing in dark rage before he released all his anger out to the world.
Harry has finally snapped for the first time ever.
"I AM DONE!" Harry roared very loudly as he released tremendously amount of killing intent filled with very dark extreme rage, dark malicious and dark hatred. His sky-blue eyes flashed blood-red like before and it took a couple moments before the color changed once again. "FUCK THIS STUPID WORTHLESS COUNTRY AND EVERYONE IN IT! FUCK THEM ALL! I DID SO MUCH FOR THEM THE LAST THREE YEARS AND ALL I GET IS FUCKING MISERY, LONELINESS AND PAIN! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER TO KILL A RABID ANIMAL?! WELL, THIS IS THE LAST STRAW! I AM LEAVING THIS COUNTRY THE MOMENT I WIN THE TRI-WIZARD TOURNAMENT AND IF ANYONE TRIES TO STOP ME FROM LEAVING, THEY ARE DEAD!"
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
Everyone in Europe felt the tremendously amount of killing intent filled with very dark extreme rage, dark malicious and dark hatred washing over them, and they were completely terrified as hell. 'Holy fuck! What is with this insane amount of killing intent and this very dark rage?! It's very awful!'
(Back with Harry and Riddle)
Harry was breathing heavily at the end of his rant and looked ready to collapse on the ground, but out of sheer determination combined with stubbornness, he stayed upright. He then turned his attention to Riddle and gave him a very cold hatred glare. "And you, rabid animal, I'm done interrogating you. I've heard enough. You may have enjoyed all my shocked reactions whenever you revealed your dark secrets, but I'm going to very much enjoy the look of fear on your face when I released my very first Elemental Secret Art. In fact, I'm going to start it up right now."
With that said, Harry began channeling both his very dark extreme rage and ice powers onto his sword to create a powerful Elemental Secret Art, which would be use to finally kill the memory Riddle once and for all. He had a feeling Secret Arts require much Magical power to create one, so he's going to be channeling much power onto his sword, even if it may look overkill to some people. He didn't care because he was not taking any chances.
The runes on the dark blade turned into a darkish red with a blue highlight, which told Harry the Elemental Secret Art was ready to be released. A sadistic smirk appeared on his face as he held up his sword to stare at the runes. Oh, he was going to greatly enjoy what he's about to do the next moment. Still retaining the sadistic smirk on his face, Harry turned his attention towards Riddle and spun his sword around a couple times before pulling his arm backwards and getting into a slightly crouch position with his other hand in front of him.
Time to release the Elemental Secret Art.
"Elemental Secret Arts: Extreme Negative Deep-Zero: Ice Death Thrust!" Harry shouted, thrusting his sword forward to release a darkish red energy beam with blue highlights. It was quickly heading towards Riddle in a straight line with said person couldn't do anything since he's frozen but stare at the energy beam getting closer to him with wide eyes filled with horror.
Bam!
The energy beam passed through Riddle's frozen body, creating a large hole in his chest and making him released a loud scream of pain, though it was instantly silence when Harry froze his head entirely with a wave of his hand. Another hand wave caused an ice hammer with spikes on one side to appear in the air right above Riddle before it was very forcefully slammed down on him, enough to crush him completely and creating a pool of blood underneath.
Tom Marvolo Riddle, the memory Harry forced Khione to summon with her Elemental Secret Art, was finally killed.
Harry stared at the spot Riddle previously stood with wide eyes, unable to believe what he had done. He knew he had to kill the bastard, but he never thought killing someone would be…easy like killing an animal. Instead of feeling scared and horrified, he felt relief and happiness.
"I…I did it…" Harry breathed out as a smile filled with relief spread across his face. "I actually killed him…" A small chuckle left his mouth at first before it changed into loud laughter as he dropped his sword to spread his arms out. "YES! I did it! I killed him! Take that, you stupid snake-face fucker! You should've just killed me when you had me trapped under you! You are so weak! Hahaha!"
As Harry continued to laugh loudly with his arms spread out, he was unaware his shadow suddenly began moving on its own behind him. It moved away from him and rose out of the ground to reveal a very familiar person who is smirking in triumph. "You sure about that, Potter?"
Harry completely froze, his loud laughter coming to a screeching halt upon hearing that familiar voice before he whirled around to see a still alive smirking Riddle standing behind him, much to his pure shock. How did he survive his Elemental Secret Art?!
"IMPOSSIBLE! I KILLED YOU!" Harry roared, still shocked at seeing Riddle alive instead of being dead like he thought. He quickly grabbed his sword from the ground. "HOW DID YOU SURVIVE MY ELEMENTAL SECRET ART?!"
(Back at Hogwarts; With the Crowd)
"RIDDLE SURVIVED THE ELEMENTAL SECRET ART?!" Everyone in Europe, even Esdeath, shouted in shock, unable to believe Riddle had survived such an attack. They had been whooping loudly at both Harry's first Elemental Secret Art and Riddle's demise until they heard the latter's voice, which completely froze them all. "HOW?!"
(Back with Harry and Riddle)
"TELL ME! HOW DID YOU SURVIVE MY ELEMMENTAL SECRET ART?!" Harry roared, wanting to know how Riddle survived.
Riddle's smirk grew larger after hearing Harry's angry roars. "Your pathetic sobbing gave me enough time to finally let me use my shadow powers and create a shadow clone in its place while I slipped through my ice prison. Then I hid inside your shadow until the time was right to reveal myself. Gotta say, never thought I would see Harry Potter cry like a little bitch."
"SHUT UP!" Harry roared, began charging at Riddle with his sword raised in the air, a battle cry leaving his mouth as he ran.
The charging action proved to be one of the worst mistakes Harry has ever made in his life. What made it more worse than before was that Riddle had already anticipated this, knowing how to deal with a reckless Gryffindor.
"Shadow Long Sword!" Riddle exclaimed, summoning a long sword made of shadows in his free hand and thrusting it at Harry, whose eyes widened and didn't have time to dodge it.
"Argh!" Harry yelled in pain as the long shadow sword impaled through his body, blood dripping downwards from the new wound. His painful yell increased when he felt himself being lifted in the air.
"You are really a blind fool, Potter," Riddle stated, giving the raised Harry in the air a cruel smirk. "Charging at me with no plan whatsoever. It's a typical Gryffindor move I have known to deal with during the war."
'Here we go with the monologue again,' Harry thought tiredly, trying his best to push the pain in his body away, while resisting the urge to roll his eyes. His thoughts were interrupted when the shadow sword in his body moved violently, making him released a loud pain hiss.
Riddle's cruel smirk vanished to be replaced with an angry look as he glared darkly at Harry after reading his mind. "Since you have no interest of listening to me again, I'll just go ahead and get straight to your punishment for making me reveal my secrets." Riddle launched Harry into the air with ease, the latter releasing a startled yell as he soared upwards, before following after him. He then began channeling Magical power onto his sword, causing the runes to become black as night.
Now, it was Riddle's turn to release an Elemental Secret Art.
"Elemental Secrets Arts: Absolute Darkness: Piercing Sword Stabs!" Riddle shouted, very quickly began stabbing Harry's body in multiple places, causing him to released screams of pain as blood gush out from the wounds. Every stab hurt like hell, and it didn't help old wounds from Khione's Blizzard Waves were starting to reopen, which caused the pain to increase tenfold. Things were not looking good at all.
Riddle stabbed his sword through Harry's right foot, earning a pain hiss from the latter, but instead of taking it out to do another stab, he sent him ferociously soaring towards the ground. A yell escape Harry's mouth as he soared downwards, the wind rushing past him. He can't use his ice powers or even move his body to save himself after taking so many stabs to the body. The only thing he can do is brace himself for the crash that's about to happened.
Crash!
Harry impacted against the ground with a mighty crash, creating a crater and causing a large amount of dust to fill the air. Riddle floated in the air right above the dust and crater, never took his eyes away before raising his sword to the side and doing a single sideways slash to make the dust disappear instantly.
In the center of the crater with a pool of blood underneath was Harry, who was currently groaning in agonized pain as he tries to stand up, only to feel more pain coursing through him. His outfit was in tatters and filled with holes, blood is leaking down from his stab wounds and his sword is a bit distance away. All in all, he looked a complete mess.
'Damn it…I can't move…' Harry thought numbly as he continued to try standing up, but only feeling intense pain inside his body. 'My body…it hurts so much…'
Seeing the person who is destined to defeat him made Riddle laugh out loud. "Look at what has become of the last Potter: A pathetic weakling loser who let his anger and hatred get the best of him. I may have anger and hatred inside me because of Dumbledore, but I don't let them get the best of me."
Harry really didn't want to admit it, but Riddle was right about him being a pathetic weakling loser who let his anger and hatred get the best of him. He should've come up with a plan first instead of charging.
"And now, it's time to finally make the Potter family become extinct once and for all," Riddle stated with an insane grin on his face, looking extremely gleeful about what he's going to do the next moment. "And this time, I'm going to make sure I do the job officially right without any mistakes. You have no mother to die for you, Potter, no friends, no lovers, no protection, no anything at all. You are all alone, weak and pathetic for an Elemental. Now…DIE!"
With a determined roar, Riddle began soaring downwards with his sword thrusted outward, intending to kill the last Potter of the Potter family once and for all.
And done! That's the ending of the chapter! Like I said at the beginning of the chapter, this is a whole different chapter with different chapter title. I'm not going to be writing any more part chapters because we're getting much closer to the end of the story. I'm not lying, we are actually getting close to the end of the story.
Anyways, here is a brand-new different title chapter for you guys to enjoy and I hope you like it.
