Before Karl could feel sorry for Fawkes, the long spear trembled, and numerous spikes pierced through Fawkes' body, turning the magnificent Phoenix into a porcupine.
Holy cow! What a vicious weapon this is!
Karl, in his Jungle Cat form, immediately bristled, disappearing into the sea of fire with a few leaps.
"Bang!"
Fawkes didn't even have time to shriek before transforming into a ball of flame and falling to the ground.
"This is... a Phoenix?!"
Elvis Heller's eyes widened suddenly as he realized Dumbledore hadn't left Hogwarts at all.
He desperately wanted to return to the altar, but now it was Karl's turn to make a move.
The angry sea of fire roared, stirring up monstrous waves, and nine Dragons ascended, besieging and strangling Elvis Heller.
"Finite Incantatem!"
A bright yellow light flickered for a few breaths before being torn apart and extinguished by the Dragons; even his wand turned to ashes.
Elvis Heller could only wave his long spear, using an ominous bloody glow to resist the rampant Fiendfyre.
That thrust of the long spear earlier was clearly a killing move, and failing to land it had put him in a dangerous situation.
Karl, treading softly and using the cover of the sea of fire, found where Fawkes had fallen and pawed twice in the ashes.
Huh? Why did it feel like he was burying poop?
Then he saw Fawkes, which he had dug out, tiny, wrinkled, and truly ugly.
Forget it, can't think about it anymore.
It would be impolite to keep thinking about it.
After all, it was trying to save him, which is why it ended up like this; he should remember this... huh?
"Detecting..."
"Extracting keywords..."
"Nirvana Rebirth, Legendary Phoenix, Elemental Power, Sacred Immortality..."
"Matching..."
No need to think, this time Karl knew in advance which hero it was, after all, the characteristics were too obvious, unique across the entire Rune Continent.
"Match successful!"
"Summon Hero: Ice Phoenix Anivia!"
In the center of the light curtain's vortex, a noble frost spirit bird appeared, flapping its wings in flight.
Its crystal-clear wings soared across the sky, and its sharp cry pierced through the tornado.
Wherever it went, frost covered the ground and snow filled the sky, and the biting cold breath from its flapping wings transformed into a gale that swept across the land.
"Anivia: I am the fury of the blizzard, the bite of the cold wind, the chill of the true ice. I am Freljord."
"Ice Phoenix Anivia has experienced countless cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. She is a demigod born in the biting ice wind, capable of manipulating the elemental power of ice and snow."
"Ice Phoenix Anivia and Phoenix Fawkes are both non-human entities, gaining the Ice Crystal Phoenix form."
"Anivia's heart is full of benevolence, fighting tirelessly to protect her home, never fearing sacrifice, for she knows she will be reborn in a brand new tomorrow."
Karl looked at the left side of the light curtain, below his avatar.
Vastaya Xayah form change — Jungle Cat.
Ixtal Flame First Principle — Calming Fire.
Ruinous Curse — Silent Dementor Night Black Mist.
Demigod controlling the elemental power of ice and snow — Ice Crystal Phoenix form.
Karl's excitement was indescribable; could this be considered getting a resurrection shield on Easter?
The cat and the bird looked at each other for a moment, feeling unable to communicate, so he called out Fire Treasure.
"Yiya!"
Fire Treasure, appearing above Karl's head, had eyes that had turned into narrow triangles, holding two tiny fists, ready to fight.
It had been waiting for a long time, constantly shouting to help, but Karl was reluctant to let it out to fight.
This made Fire Treasure anxious, spinning around in the core fire, gathering all its strength to help summon Fiendfyre.
"Ow!"
Hurry, hurry, you take the bird, I take you, and then we'll sneak away.
Although Elvis Heller was currently surrounded by Dragons and being burned, appearing as if he would soon turn to ashes and be scattered by him.
But that bloody long spear was a bit sinister, and its attack method was particularly vicious; Karl didn't want to get stabbed by it.
If he didn't want to turn into a porcupine, it was better to stay far away.
"Jee?"
Fire Treasure scratched its head in confusion, then obediently flew towards Fawkes.
Then it became happy, because this ugly little bird was also a spirit of flame, which it liked very much.
The two little ones affectionately rubbed against each other, then Fire Treasure picked up Fawkes and flew back to Karl's head.
"Ow~"
You lead the way~
Karl, with Fire Treasure and Fawkes, took off running, disappearing into the black sea of fire in an instant.
"Boom!"
An explosion suddenly occurred in the sea of fire, and a bloody shockwave pushed the Fiendfyre back continuously.
Revealing Elvis Heller's miserable and terrifying appearance: half of his body was charred, and the other half was a bloody mess.
If not for the protection of the long spear, he would probably have been burned to ashes by the Fiendfyrelong ago.
But that was all; on his hideous face, where his skin had vanished and bones were exposed, there were no longer any eyes.
Two empty sockets emitted foot-long blood-red light, looking extremely terrifying.
"Albus Dumbledore! Karl Olonlin! You truly deserve to die!"
Elvis Heller couldn't find their location, so he roared and rushed back into Stonehenge.
However, just as he reached the bottom of the altar, he stopped, because a figure appeared next to the stone of destiny.
This was an old man with a white beard, blue eyes, and a crooked nose, the old man he least wanted to see.
"Dumbledore!"
"Professor Heller, you don't look too well. Do you need to come with me to the Hospital Wing?"
Dumbledore spoke in a casual tone, as if asking if the other person wanted to go eat together.
At this moment, Karl, seeing Principal enter Stonehenge, also relaxed, leaping onto the altar in a few jumps and changing back into human form.
"I don't think Madam Pomfrey is very good at treating burns caused by Fiendfyre."
"Then to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries?"
"No! The most suitable place for Professor Heller is St. Elizabeth's Psychiatric Hospital!"
A terrifying hospital that had treated 120,000 patients, yet possessed 1,400 brain specimens and 100,000 brain tissue slices.
It was a prime location for horror novels and a hotbed of urban legends; Arkham Asylum would be considered a harmonious community in comparison.
"Enough!"
Elvis Heller roared, interrupting Dumbledore and Karl's mind-games chat.
"What are you two? How dare you defy a god's command!"
He walked up the steps one by one, the long spear in his hand shining with blood-light, while his body gradually shrank, transforming into a mummy-like appearance.
"I am a servant of the gods! You two fools! You won't stop me! I must... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, the blood-light was shattered by an invisible force, and Elvis Heller was sent flying.
After drawing a graceful arc in the air, he fell heavily to the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Elvis Heller wiped away the black-red blood he spat out, glaring at Dumbledore with hatred.
Karl: (⊙ ˍ ⊙)
What just happened? He only saw Principal move his sleeve.
Dumbledore explained lightly, "Just a simple Repelling Charm, you've already severely injured him."
Huh? Is that right?
On the other side, Elvis Heller propped himself up with his long spear, his expression still frenzied.
"As expected of the great Dumbledore, I admit your power, but do you no longer care about the students of Hogwarts?"
"The Castle has probably been breached by the Acromantulas from the Forbidden Forest by now. What will you choose?"
Karl and Dumbledore exchanged glances and both smiled.
"Professor Heller, are you sure?"
