Chapter 779: The Harbinger of Doom
🕑 Added 2023-05-15 08:46:05 +0000 UTCWith amazing beauty and skills, no man could easily escape Natalia's control.
Although everyone knew that she was a black widow, a poisonous black spider, there were still many wizards flying into Natalia's arms like moths to a flame, willingly giving all they had and welcoming death with open arms...
During the heyday of Grindelwald, Natalia had many avid admirers. Most of them were powerful wizards, willing to die for her.
Therefore, she was the strongest among the Dark Legion formed by Grindelwald.
It was well known that greedy Natalia did not follow Grindelwald for wealth, power and powerful evil magic like other dark wizards. These things were easily available to her and she did not need to turn to him for that.
What she really wanted was eternal life, to keep her youth forever. The true enemy of those who relied on beauty was the passage of time, and it was the ultimate goal of the Dark witch Natalia to have eternal beauty.
It was unknown whether she got what she wanted from Grindelwald. Soon after Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned in the topmost cell of Nurmengard, Natalia disappeared.
Some said she was dead, others said she had achieved her goal of keeping her appearance at the age of twenty forever.
She changed her face and continued to bewitch the rich men with her beauty, taking everything away from them. There was a saying in the wizarding world that all the wizards who could become Natalia's husbands were the most outstanding ones, but their fate was very miserable.
In a book about Grindelwald, Evan had seen information about the Dark witch Natalia and thought she was dead.
Unexpectedly, not only was she still alive, but she had also joined Raven's Claw, becoming a high-level member of this mad organization.
"Natalia, this evil witch is still alive?" asked Sirius with a frown.
"Like her husband, the Harbinger of Doom, she is one of the top members of the organization," Kagal replied in a dull voice, and uncontrollably extended his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, with a greedy look on his face. "I saw her from a distance five years ago. She was surrounded by a bunch of admirers. She was a woman who would move any man who saw her. I had an impulse to rush up and possess her. She looked about twenty years old, and she had enough beauty to make anyone fall for her at first sight, with jade-like, crystal-clear plump skin and..."
Obviously, Kagal was very impressed with Natalia. Although he had only seen her from a distance, even he was obsessed with her and couldn't stop himself from ranting about her.
The fact that Natalia was successful was frightening. Not many Dark wizards achieved their ultimate goals.
Although she looked only twenty, she was in fact an old woman, nearly a hundred years old...
She was the same age as Dumbledore and Grindelwald, but she was still able to keep Kagal passionate about her from a glance.
Perhaps, it was this new master that granted her wish.
"Where is she now?"
"I don't know. The members of the organization are not allowed to socialize. I have been here for more than five years with the Harbinger of Doom and other members. I have never been out. I don't know where the others are or even know them."
It seemed that the Raven's Claws were even more secretive than Evan imagined. They had strict rules to prevent members from leaking information. Low ranking members like Kagal wouldn’t know much.
"Well, let's talk about this Harbinger of Doom. In addition to being Natalia's last husband, what other information do you know about him?" Evan asked. "Think carefully and see if you've missed anything."
Kagal hesitated markedly, and then he slowly answered, "I've heard other people talk about his past. That's not something I should know. I tried to tell myself to forget, but I couldn't..."
"His past would be interesting. Let’s hear it!"
“They told me that before joining the organization, the Harbinger of Doom was a prestigious wizard. His family was very powerful in Austria and had a territory inherited from their ancestors, a small town inhabited by wizards,” said Kagal. "The Harbinger of Doom himself was also very strong. He was a very powerful wizard, approachable and willing to help other villagers. He was deeply loved by the residents of the small town. Because of his outstanding talents, he became Natalia's target."
"Natalia was already a member of Raven's Claw at the time. It is said that when he first saw Natalia, the Harbinger of Doom, who had always remained celibate, became speechless for about five minutes, overwhelmed by her beauty. A day later, they had their wedding; and a week later, destruction and disaster struck the quiet town. That was the power of the master. Natalia was interested in the Harbinger of Doom, and hoped that he would join the organization. She showed him the greatness of the master. In the town, people were constantly getting sick and dying. Cursed souls were wandering at night, dark monsters were attacking the town's residents all the time, and even the dead came back again. The whole town had fallen into darkness and despair."
Evan listened to Kagal intently. If this was true, then finding out the identity of this Harbinger of Doom would be easy! Such big events taking place in Austria must have been documented.
No wonder Kagal felt uneasy and wanted to forget about it.
The Dark wizard called the Harbinger of Doom had never shown his face, and even hid his name. He clearly did not want others to know his true identity and learn about his past. There must be some reason for that...
This was a very important piece of information.
"Residents in the town couldn’t get in touch with the outside world. The power of the master shrouded in that place. They couldn’t leave. They could only suffer in obscurity, hoping that someone could save them." Kagal couldn't stop shivering, and his voice became weird. "However, all that awaited them was destruction and death. After their marriage, the Harbinger of Doom and his wife did not step out of their mansion and allowed the disaster outside to happen. When everyone was dead, they came out from there to be welcomed only by corpses, including the citizens of the town, wizards, and the family members of the Harbinger of Doom. He had fallen. His once dazzling blond hair turned white, his body was cold, and he had a badge of Raven's Claw on his chest. He looked mercilessly at the corpses and the monsters around him. Naked, Natalia stood at the gate of the villa and looked at everything in front of her, with a smile of satisfaction on her face..."
