In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter
Chapter 489: The Apex of the Wizard

Jon stared at Voldemort, he had never underestimated this man.

From the start, he had shown beyond-average resourcefulness and strength, and a large part of being able to push him to that extent before was actually luck, apart from the fact that Jon had a bit of real skill.

And now he has become stronger.

Jon, who understood the way Voldemort became stronger, understood that after completely devouring the soul of Voldemort in this normal timeline, the increase in his strength became more than just 1+1=2.

And having once been able to defeat Dumbledore in his heyday even before he had completely concluded the fusion, he would of course only become stronger now than before.

However, the point in Jon's favour was that he had just completed his resurrection, and his strength was definitely diminished, not the state he was in when he fully possessed a body.

Furthermore, in the Atrium, the Apparition was not completely blocked, allowing Jon to have a wider range of movement, and at the same time, the magic power in the ring's second gemstone was in a state of overflowing, lastly, there was also the Phoenix Resurrection ability.

All these factors added up, making Jon feel that he could completely take this opportunity to try to clash and find out the difference between them.

By utilising the magic power stored in the ring to enhance his power, he made those golden-red Nirvana flames reach a level that was enough to be able to compete against Voldemort's black mist.

Jon stood in front of Dumbledore; before it had been this old man protecting Hogwarts and Witching Horizon as the biggest pillar, and now he could have someone to keep Voldemort at bay for him at last!

And just as the red light intertwined and collided with the black mist, Jon raised his wand high in his hand!

"CONFRINGO!"

He didn't use a killing curse because he knew that Voldemort's current level of nimbleness was enough to dodge all magic that used light rays as its manifestation toward the target person's position, so he chose the blasting curse that had a larger target effect, was less likely to be dodged, and at the same time, had a notable amount of power!

The added power of holding the wand in both hands, coupled with the fact that Jon had enchanted it with a little more magic power, made the power of this blasting curse extremely significant!

Obviously, Voldemort thought that the battle was over and started to repair the Ministry of Magic too early, under Jon's blasting curse, the entire floor of the Ministry of Magic shook as if it was going to collapse.

The ceilings that had been partially repaired began to collapse and fall again, and a huge cloud of smoke rose in the Atrium.

But even if he couldn't see Voldemort's movements, Jon could feel that the blasting curse hadn't caused him much damage. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

At the same time that the smoke and dust filled the room, a silent spell suddenly shot out from it!

The bright green pillar of light was as thick as a baby's arm, and was as fast as lightning, even if Jon could fly, there was no way he could react enough to dodge it!

Fortunately, at the same time when the green light lit up, his body also began to flash with red light, the whole person instantly disappeared from the spot and then reappeared again in the next moment, that is, in the time between his such a flash, the green light column hit the wall directly behind Jon, leaving a charred black hole the size of a basketball!

Jon became slightly short of breath, Voldemort's dark magic did give him great pressure, that killing curse, not to mention being directly hit, even if it was only slightly tainted, perhaps it is also the case of death on the spot.

"The way you've been performing has really surprised me, I've never seen such a brilliant young man like you before, I admit that even I couldn't do what you did when I was younger, Jon Green."

Voldemort's bland voice came out from the black mist, making it simply hard to tell exactly where he was at this point in time.

"But even the most powerful talent would be nothing until it is converted into true strength. Your soul is surprisingly powerful, far beyond that of a normal wizard, which is why I chose you as a replacement target before, but even such a powerful soul without enough time to hone its magic would only reach this far."

Again, he didn't recite an incantation, and there wasn't even a sign of waving his wand in sight.

Just in the next second after the words fell, countless pieces of debris around Jon levitated up and wrapped around him, and then each piece of debris changed into a chain that looked like a tentacle, completely blocking off all positions on all sides of Jon!

Then these countless chains were going to tighten instantly, trying to make Jon use an Apparition before he could react, and then lock him in!

However, Jon's reaction was much faster than Voldemort had expected, he didn't use Apparition, instead he directly snapped his fingers with the hand with the ring!

The next moment countless invisible and shadowless sharp blades appeared around him, instantly cutting off all the chains that had been transfigured, and the momentum did not diminish! There was still energy left to fly over in the direction of the black mist!

However, these blades did not cause Voldemort any damage other than creating some air currents in the black mist!

Soon, Voldemort's next round of counterattacks also arrived, as if he knew that Jon, who had the advantage of the Phoenix Apparition, was like a slippery loach that was difficult to be caught, he didn't hesitate to scatter all the black mist!

The entire Atrium was completely filled with black mist, no matter where Jon would be flickered to, he would be enveloped in it.

Voldemort's flat voice also sounded again.

"Want to learn just what a true wizard is?"

As soon as his words fell, a green killing curse beam lit up at Jon's side for no apparent reason amidst the shroud of black mist!

Because of the extremely close proximity, Jon almost didn't react, only dodging away from his original position and avoiding the sudden killing curse in front of him!

However, Voldemort's attack was not limited to this, after this killing curse ended, the surrounding area likewise flashed with the light of countless spells again!

Voldemort had completely abandoned the wand and spell-casting method as if just by moving his thoughts, the spells would have the effect that he wanted them to have.

This was where the magical gap became completely apparent, in terms of pure spellcasting, Voldemort had far surpassed almost everyone else in the magical world.

Not only Jon, but even Dumbledore in his prime form had no way to compete with him in this aspect!

Jon could only keep flickering in the black mist, dodging those spells, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash of lightning, and soon, one thought let him be sure.

If it would just be a duel on spells, sooner or later Jon would be exhausted by Voldemort like this.

At present, Voldemort had already stood at the pinnacle of wizardry, whether it was the end of magic or not was unknown, but it had certainly become the end of wizardry to date.

He had to find another way to escape from here if he wanted to take Dumbledore with him!

And right now, an idea rose in Jon's mind.

He stared in the direction of the thickest part of the black mist, Voldemort could not always be positioned as an illusory being, his physical body was in that location!
