"...Muriel...Where are you? Where are you..."

Under the darkened night because of the thick fog, a figure walked forward in a trance in the streets.Seeing his footsteps are vain, he staggers involuntarily every step, as if he might fall to the ground at any time.

Obviously, this was Martin, who had just taken away his beloved by Helbo.

Since leaving the underground black market, he has been wandering the streets of London almost aimlessly.If you just listen to the mumbling in his mouth, people who don't know may think he is looking for someone named "Muriel".

However, he happened to walk extremely slowly again, and coupled with the dangling, desperate appearance, how could he mean looking for someone?

"Muriel... where have you been?"

It seemed that Martin had only these words left in his heart.

However, what can he do?He didn't even know where Hailebo had taken Muriel... No, what if he knew it?Does he still have the ability to snatch people back from Helbo?

Therefore, it seems that he is already powerless to do everything, so he can only walk on the streets so purposelessly.He didn't know what else he could think of, so he didn't think about anything at all, only the miss of Muriel, which could not be driven away, still lingered in his heart.

"Muli...uh..."

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling of nausea suddenly rose from his heart, causing him to support the street wall with one hand, and leaned down to retching.

The long period of depression and loss of Muriel’s pain seemed to make his body appear a little strange-his retching lasted for a long time, and when he raised his head again, the corners of his mouth followed. Hang a trace of glitter.

However, since he hadn't eaten much for several days, there was nothing in his stomach to vomit.Just the vomiting he had just now was just a bit of sour water.

Martin leaned against the cold brick wall as if he was a little relieved, breathing hard.

But at this moment, another discomfort suddenly drove away the nausea just now and forcibly occupied his heart.And in his mind, there was a strange dizziness immediately.

It was not ordinary dizziness, but a peculiar feeling that even the consciousness had fallen into a fuzzy state.He didn't know what happened to him, but he could vaguely understand that this was definitely not a good sign.

In the chaos, Martin seemed to think of something, almost struggling to mutter to himself:

"...It's... Helbo."

Yes, it was Helbo—like the other apprentices that Helbo received, the so-called "seed of power" was planted in his body.

Once upon a time, this seed rooted in the soul was still his hope, and he looked forward to gaining his own strength from it.

And now, that seed seems to finally bloom and bear fruit.

Will you gain any power?Maybe there will be!But the price I have to pay is probably much greater than I had ever imagined.

As the dizziness in his mind became heavier, Martin could hardly support his weight even if he was leaning against the wall, and could not help but slowly slide down the wall and gradually withered at the root of the wall.

He suddenly began to tremble, not because of the cold, but because he needed to do his best to resist the growing dizziness.

He could vaguely feel that if he had lost consciousness in this way, he might not be able to wake up again.

But at this moment, at the end of this small street where he was originally alone, there was a burst of slightly messy footsteps.

Who is that?Who is coming?Is it Muriel... or the damned Helbo?

Martin, whose consciousness has gradually fallen into chaos, thinks wildly, he can't even realize that Muriel is obviously impossible to appear here.

Martin, who was kneeling down on the corner of the wall, raised his head laboriously. He saw his eyelids half drooped, and his blurred vision and ubiquitous gray fog made him unable to see what was ahead.

With a faint hope, he still tried to prop up his body, staggering in the direction of the sound of footsteps with a more erratic pace than before.

But in the next moment, a strong green light suddenly aroused his instinctive vigilance.At the moment he felt the danger, he immediately wanted to dodge aside, but his weak legs made him take a step diagonally, and then fell heavily on the slab-paved road.

"boom!"

As he stumbled and fell to the ground, the green arc of light that broke through the fog in front of him slammed past him and crashed onto the ground behind him.

All of a sudden, the rubble flew in all directions, and many of them hit him.

"Well……"

Although this fall made his bones aching, it didn't hurt him.On the contrary, it was the gravel splashing behind him, and a piece of it hit his head badly by accident, and immediately hit his head to blood.

However, it was this sudden pain that made his mind temporarily clearer.

"Hi...who is that?"

Seeing Martin clutching the back of his bloody head and then crawling up again, he finally pulled out his wand with his other hand.When he found another killing curse on the other side of the street coming straight to him, he quickly waved his magic wand and dragged a flower pot from the street to block the extremely deadly curse.

"Wow!"

Accompanied by an explosion, the flower pot that flew into the air shattered, causing the soil inside to splash all over the floor.And taking advantage of this opportunity, Martin, who had a little understanding of the current situation, immediately waved his wand again, releasing a rather powerful Smashing Curse.

"Ok?"

After casting a spell, he realized that the intensity of his spell was much higher than usual. Is this the power of the seed that Helbo "gives" him?

However, the dizziness that is still constantly impacting his willpower, but it continues to remind him that the price he will pay may be extraordinary.

At the same time, Martin's Smashing Curse and the figure in the gray fog passed by.

It wasn't that he had missed his aim, but that the opponent's reaction and actions were unusually agile. It seemed that he was running staggering, but he easily avoided his attack by turning sideways.

Seeing the eye-catching green light on the other side once again, Martin hurriedly continued to drag things to block.But the dangerous curse was blocked, and the other party got closer to him.

Just a few seconds later, the figure finally came into the field of vision that he could barely see clearly. This somewhat familiar figure made him startled at the time.

It was the short wizard-the apprentice who was also Helbo, the dwarf wizard he had met in the Dragon Sleeping bar on the black market before!

"You...Stop it!"

Martin saw clearly who the other party was, and that the other party should have seen his side clearly.But it was obvious that the other party didn't mean to stop at all, because the familiar green light had once again bloomed with a devastating brilliance on the wand in the other's hand.

"……damn it."

Martin has no strength to dodge now, and the two sides are so close, it is too late for him to try his tricks again and drag things from the side to resist.

However, he obviously didn't want to die at all.

To be honest, when he had just lost Muriel earlier, he really thought about dying.

Because at that time, he suddenly realized that not only was it difficult to get back his beloved woman, but even the hope of following Haierbo to do things in the past had been completely wiped out with Haierbo's ruthlessness.

Not only that, but in order to help Helbo, he had an irreparable relationship with the Ministry of Magic, his alma mater Hogwarts, and Namaka McLean.

After losing everything and eventually becoming a lonely man, what meaning does he have in this world?

However, Muriel may not be dead after all.In order to see her again at least...Yes, even for the last time, Martin didn't want to die so meaninglessly.

Maybe in this life, he has become a total loser, but he is really not reconciled.Even if he was only struggling at the end, he had to hold on for a while.

In the next second, the tip of Martin's wand also lit up with a dismal green light, almost at the same time as the dwarf wizard who looked like a mad beast on the opposite side cast the killing spell.

"Killing Curse--"

Suddenly, two green lightning bolts crossed the street. At that moment, he only felt as if the time of the whole world had slowed down.

He could even see that the two green light arcs, which should have been so swift, were advancing inch by inch. While the two were rubbing against each other, they were also slightly entangled and deflected due to the effects of the magical power moving at high speed.

But at the end, Martin gritted his teeth and stared at the green light that was getting closer and closer to his body.

Is it still worse?

After all, he was a step late for the other party, even if he had some extraordinary performance in the final moment of life and death, it was still not enough to make up for the gap in reality.

However, just as the opponent’s life-killing curse was about to touch his chest, the fog that had originally filled the streets shrank and flowed suddenly, and suddenly formed a gray-black spot one inch in front of Martin. Vortex of mist.

And then-

"Boom!"

Both Martin and the crazy dwarf wizard were impacted by the power of the Killing Curse and flew upside down, sliding for a certain distance on the stone road before they came to a stop.

There was a moment of dead silence, and both sides fell to the ground as if dead, and there was no sound.It wasn't until several minutes had passed before Martin's fingers twitched slightly.

"Cough...cough cough... I... still alive?"

He opened his eyes with great difficulty and looked at the mist that had long since returned to calm, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.
