Chapter 389: Rage
1 Second.
‘Am I too late?’ The first thing Harry noticed was the intense smell of blood.
His sharp green eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to make sense of the situation in the shortest time possible.
2 Seconds.
Three vampires were looking at him, but he did not recognize them. Two young-looking women and one elegantly dressed man with dark hair.
His eyes were drawn for a moment to the figure on the ground.
‘Fred?!’ He saw Molly kneeling beside one of the twins while the other lay motionless.
3 Seconds.
He couldn’t detect any magic from the one lying down, which meant he was already dead.
‘Where are the rest?!’ His mind was racing.
4 Seconds.
His eyes snapped back to the vampires and noticed that the two female ones were holding something.
‘Ron…’ He was hurt but still alive, his neck gripped tightly by the brunette vampire.
5 Seconds.
Harry’s eyes widened. ‘Ginny!’ The brunette vampire was grasping the familiar girl by the neck.
She was bleeding... her magic felt weak, almost completely faded. That was why he hadn’t noticed her at first, and she appeared to be only half conscious.
“Ginny…” Harry muttered.
6 Seconds.
This scenario was so familiar to him that memories of the past began to rush to the front of his mind.
That day, he had found his wife lying in a pool of blood when he returned home from working at the Ministry.
She was barely alive, left with just a whisper of life in her. Voldemort had wanted Harry to find her like that...to watch her die in front of him.
Just as this Ginny was dying now.
“Who is this?!” Rodolphus asked, his yellow eyes scanning Harry’s still figure.
7 Seconds.
“No…not again...” Something inside him snapped.
The idea of failing once more was the one thing he feared most. Ginny and all his friends dying in front of him...the world being destroyed.
'Is your fault...' The inner voice that he had heard for countless years, came back to him.
Inside Harry’s body, a tremendous amount of magic raged, ready to be unleashed at any moment. He always kept it controlled to avoid harming others.
The nine arkstones embedded in nine pieces of magicite jewelry began to glow with an eerie blue light, releasing their magic without Harry’s command.
His subconscious had activated them, along with everything else within him. Every offensive tool he had prepared was now ready to obliterate his enemies.
8 Seconds.
In a flash of rage, all the restraints he’d placed on himself were gone.
“Master? What a—”
The blonde vampire bride holding Ginny was interrupted by an explosion.
A surge of magic from the activation of the Nine Arkstones Array erupted in front of them.
Magic was present in such concentration that it was completely visible by the naked eye. It was moving so violently that it almost felt as if a tornado had suddenly come to life right in front of them.
As the last Deadly Hallow activated, Harry’s body was entirely enveloped in thick darkness, leaving only his bright green eyes, which quickly shifted to the same shade of blue as the magic surrounding him.
9 Seconds.
Rodolphus was still trying to make sense of the situation amid the pain he was feeling. He had no idea who this wizard was, but the fact that he’d just shattered a blood ward crafted by his Lord...and that he could see the wizard’s magic swirling visibly, did nothing but signal danger to him.
His instincts screamed at him to get away. Fortunately, the destruction of the blood wards meant he could escape. Like his brother, Rodolphus had access to two emergency portkeys: one around his neck and another in his right pocket.
This meant abandoning his two brides, but the decision was made instantly.
10 Seconds.
Rodolphus reached for the pocket of his trousers.
The vampire brides felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on them as Harry unleashed his magic.
They saw only a pair of blue eyes in front of them, but fear had already begun to creep in.
“Master…”
“Master!” They both called with desperation, not realizing their master had already decided to leave them behind.
11 Seconds.
The pressure the three vampires felt only grew stronger, like a massive stone pressing down on them.
None of them realized this was caused not only by the magic in the air but by what Harry was doing with it.
Rodolphus’s fingertips reached the round stone that was the portkey. All he needed now was to speak the activation word, and he’d vanish for good.
His lips parted, and he began to speak.
12 Seconds.
Despite his temporary loss of control and the sudden release of magic, Harry’s mind stayed sharp enough to know exactly what to do.
His magic washed over the area, touching every individual present, including the dozen Inferi surrounding the Weasleys.
After taking a short moment to connect with his targets, Harry let his power do the rest.
Like a faucet turned fully open, all that energy surged into their bodies. All of his magic and rage went into them.
Even for magical beings like vampires, there was a limit to how much they could contain before it became deadly.
13 Seconds.
By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.
The Inferi collapsed like stringless puppets, only for their corpses to explode into hundreds of pieces moments later.
But it was the vampires who bore the brunt of the attack.
Harry poured every last drop of magic from the Nine Arkstones Array into them.
They didn’t have time to feel pain before they were reduced to dust.
