Chapter 72: Everyone Who Sees It Gets a Share?
"Oh, that's very... Avada Kedavra!"
Suddenly, a emerald green flame left the wild dragon dealer's sleeve, slicing through the air like an arrow and rushing toward Ares's chest. Where the flame passed, a strong aura of death rippled through the air like a small boat breaking the surface of a tranquil lake.
None of the dark wizards watching coldly around them showed any surprise; such a cunning little ambush was nothing out of the ordinary in the eyes of these desperados.
Ares's response, however, left them both amused and exasperated!
Ares, facing death, remained calm, not even the hem of his robe fluttering. He did not try to dodge, but simply stood still, in front of a magnificent, solid crystal wall that suddenly appeared before him.
And that is precisely why he was ridiculed.
The Killing Curse in the Unforgivable Curse isn't exactly a spell capable of causing large-scale destruction, but its efficiency and success rate in killing make it seem like a spell that a wizard couldn't have invented!
There is currently no other reasonable way to avoid death besides dodging or using obstacles to shield oneself from the Killing Curse.
To date, no well-known or obscure magical barrier has been able to withstand the Killing Curse... That's why the boy who survived the Dark Lord's Killing Curse is so incredible!
And the wizard before them, still appearing thin despite wearing a cloak—
The protective barrier he created for himself was clearly some kind of unknown magical barrier!
The onlookers sneered, and the dragon trader also smiled mockingly.
The killing curse he unleashed left a fleeting mark in his eyes. He smiled confidently, waiting for the curse to strike this troublemaking fool, waiting for Ares to die, and anticipating the spoils of his upcoming 'corpse looting'...
He knew that the wizard in front of him was quite wealthy... He had come to him to buy dragon blood more than once, and he was very generous, never haggling over the price.
He had long harbored the idea of "murdering for money," but he had been struggling to find a suitable opportunity.
And now...
A thought flashed through his mind, and the wild dragon dealer's smile grew even wider. He saw the Killing Curse strike the empty wall, and then—
he died.
The dragon traders, along with the surrounding dark wizards—the former died in silence, while the latter quietly revealed their bewilderment.
They didn't see the wall reflect the Killing Curse's light back, its trajectory through the air... it was just a blur before their eyes, and then the light that should have passed through the crystal wall and struck the black-robed wizard spread across the wild dragon trader's chest.
Like a burst of fireworks...exquisitely beautiful, it gently took away a life.
Thump—the body fell to the ground, and the onlookers all shrank their shoulders in unison.
They saw the wizard, who had killed a man as casually as sweeping up the scum on the ground, raise his head, look around—then, with calm and steady steps, he stepped over the corpse of the wild dragon trader, came to the stall, opened a wooden box, and took out a huge, metallic-looking dragon egg.
Dragon Eggs
As the wild dragon dealer said, this thing is actually not worth much money in the eyes of most people, unless it is a hatchling.
唳—
The fire dragon, bound to the cross, saw everything through its swollen, narrowed eyes. It saw the wizard take out his dragon egg, and so, filled with unease and anxiety, it cried out.
The wild dragon's cry also awakened the greed in those wary eyes.
Dragon eggs are worthless, but a fire dragon—even a dying fire dragon—can be worth a lot!
More people gathered around.
Dark wizards, vampires, wandering goblins, werewolves, centaurs rejected by their own kind—
In the eyes of greed, all intelligent beings are treated equally.
The unrest spread silently, growing stronger and stronger, until finally—
"Everyone who sees it gets a share."
Someone in some corner of the crowd whispered something.
Then, just like ice water being poured into boiling oil, the atmosphere suddenly became chaotic!
"Everyone who sees it gets a share!"
"Everyone who sees it gets a share!"
"You broke the rules, so everyone who sees this dragon gets a share!"
Greed always exists in people's hearts; it just lacks an opportunity to be unleashed.
The werewolf bared its claws;
The vampire bared his fangs;
The fairy poked out her sharp armor;
The centaur raised his bow and arrow;
Many people were even sharpening their knives and drawing their wands or even older staffs inlaid with magical gems or metal.
The phrase "Everyone who sees it gets a share" has attracted a large following!
In this market, the only calm one is probably the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon bound like the crucified Jesus.
【唳——】
It raised its chin at Ares with all its might, signaling him to leave quickly and take its dragon egg with him... As for itself—
The Norwegian Spinosaurus has accepted its fate.
It could sense Ares's vague goodwill.
Even if Ares could take it away, it might not survive... And judging from the current situation, if Ares remains "stubborn," then it, its dragon egg, and Ares himself will all die here.
A chilling killing intent swept across the shopping mall, raging and gradually threatening to spiral out of control.
Yes, this black-robed wizard is indeed a bit eerie.
They used some unknown method to even reflect the Death Curse back.
But... so what?
The group that wants a piece of the pie is much larger; could he possibly kill them all by himself?
Even the Ministry of Magic can't do anything about them!
Just when everyone thought the situation was clear, the besieged black-robed wizard made a move.
A finger emerged from beneath his cloak... the finger was long and slender, with exceptionally fair and delicate skin.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the finger gently nodded at the crystal wall that had just blocked the Killing Curse!
Buzz—
The crystal wall immediately hummed and then vanished amidst continuous, trembling... turning into countless dust particles, faintly glowing with seven colors.
What does that mean?
They wisely gave up the resistance—people speculated.
What happened next silenced everyone who wanted to gain something!
The crystal dust did not disappear; it gathered and dispersed in the void like the ebb and flow of the tide, and under the gaze of focused eyes, it transformed into a... spear?
That's right, it's the crystal spear!
Similar to the lances used by medieval Muggle knights when charging on the battlefield!
In the silence, subtle changes appeared on people's faces... There was more than one spear—it seemed to split itself, with one spear multiplying into two every second, and two into four... Ten seconds later, the area above the crowd and the marketplace was densely covered with crystal spears brimming with sharpness!
They drifted slowly, the gunpoint pointed at everyone's throat...
Some people had been hiding behind the magical barriers, but these crystal spears seemed to possess the properties of a killing curse, piercing through the various magical barriers with ease and pointing directly at the pairs of eyes behind them, their pupils constricted in fear!
The underground marketplace was completely silent except for the humming of hundreds of crystal spears vibrating in the air.
Ares looked around again.
"A share for those who see it?"
