When did I become so powerful that I needed the Dark Lord to come here in person
At this moment, Albert's expression almost couldn't hold back. He originally thought that Voldemort would not appear here. After all, there were so many spectators at the duel competition. If Voldemort attacked him personally, it would directly expose the fact that Voldemort was still alive. Unfortunately, the Dark Lord actually disguised himself as someone else.
You are the Dark Lord, how dare you disguise yourself as someone else
Your Dark Lord status has fallen to the ground!
Is he really planning to kill me openly in a duel
Being killed by the opponent in a duel, no one can be blamed, and it will not expose Voldemort's identity. What's more, dying at the hands of the dark wizard Afjie does not seem to be a strange thing.
Who made the dark wizard Afjie kill so many people
The situation is not good!
Albert reached out for his wand and placed it on his knees, ready to defend himself against a sudden attack from Voldemort at any time.
Fortunately, I was not unprepared.
Albert let out a light breath, reached into his pocket and took out a few candies, peeled one and put it in his mouth to chew, and picked out the candy that contained the elixir.
If possible, Albert didn't want to fight Voldemort so early, because he would be at a disadvantage in all aspects, and he was still in the development stage.
If he is given another fifteen years, no, ten years, ten years will be enough. When he reaches the peak in all aspects, it will not be a problem for him to fight Voldemort head-on.
After all, after ten years of preparation, Albert was confident that he could defeat Voldemort.
As for now, maybe he could avoid being killed, but... Albert really didn't like this duel with a very low chance of winning and risks.
The effort and benefit are not proportional.
At this moment, the task panel triggered a new task.
When Voldemort was being held back by the organizer's staff, Albert quickly opened the task panel and glanced at the name of the task: The Beginning of a Legend.
He didn't bother to read the content of the task, and went straight to the end to see the conditions for completing the task: defeat Voldemort and win the game.
Mission rewards: 30,000 experience points, 3 skill points, 2,000 reputation in the wizarding world, and one of Voldemort's designated skills.
The mission rewards were very rich, but... The mission rewards were generally related to the difficulty of the mission, so the difficulty of this mission was quite high. Moreover, the most difficult part was not how to defeat Voldemort, but winning the game afterwards.
If you throw your moral integrity to the dogs, you can now shout: He is Voldemort.
Then, if they could drag the organizers and even all the audience into the water, they might be able to force Voldemort to retreat, but there would probably be no hope of winning, and the competition might even be cancelled.
In addition, there is another rather odd mission: Dark Wizard Nemesis.
The condition for completing the mission is to defeat the remaining two dark wizards and win the duel competition.
The reward is not much experience, but it gives 1,000 points of reputation in the wizarding world, and also gives a "Dark Wizard Nemesis" skill.
This mission is actually pretty good, and it would be even better if Voldemort wasn't here.
However, Albert suspected that the mission was triggered by the appearance of Voldemort.
He sent a message to the house-elf Carla outside, asking the house-elf to confirm whether Dumbledore had come. If the headmaster had come, he should tell him the news about Voldemort.
As long as Dumbledore comes to watch the game, it will become much more difficult for Voldemort to kill Albert.
As for whether Dumbledore came or not
Albert really didn't know, he only knew that Bard invited Dumbledore to watch the duel.
Ever since the old man knew that Albert was being targeted by the Death Eaters, he invited Dumbledore to watch the dueling competition together to provide an extra layer of insurance for Albert's safety.
The tickets for the members of the Order of the Phoenix were obtained from Bard. The tickets for the dueling tournament are so expensive, who would be so rich as to give them away directly? Their relationship is not that good!
I hope Bud can be more reliable and stop hanging the chain.
Otherwise, we might have to activate the backup plan.
Just because he couldn't defeat Voldemort didn't mean that the other party could kill him.
Albert naturally had his own plans. Voldemort might have expected his strength, but he certainly didn't know his specific strength.
Of course, this kind of good thing probably only works during the initial fight, but that is enough.
Little Batty is the best example. He thought he understood Albert's strength, but he fell into the pit the first time and couldn't get out.
What's more, he also secretly brought some Fuling potion, which he could use directly when necessary.
Although they can't do anything in the face of absolute strength, that is actually related to the upper limit of the wizard's strength.
Albert is a type of person who has ability but lacks experience, which prevents him from exerting his full strength. The Felixir can make up for his problem in this regard.
The most important thing is that Albert had made a lot of preparations to deal with Voldemort as early as the Triwizard Tournament. Although some things cannot be used, Voldemort is now coming alone to kill him and disguised as someone else. I guess he doesn't want his identity to be exposed.
What's more, Dumbledore is still here. If necessary, the two of them can join forces to force Voldemort back.
Kara soon sent back the news that Dumbledore had really come, which made Albert feel relieved.
However, Dumbledore in the audience had a very serious expression. If Snape had not told him that Voldemort was going to attack Anderson, Dumbledore would not have come here at all. He originally tried to persuade Albert to give up the game.
Unfortunately, when he received the news it was too late. He rushed to Spain but didn't find Albert.
When Dumbledore saw the house-elf Carla coming to deliver the message to him, he realized that the worst had happened.
However, he still failed to convince Albert to give up the game.
Dumbledore really didn't understand why Albert took the risk. Was it because he was here
Or is it really as Albert said, that Voldemort can't do anything to him for the time being, and maybe he can force Voldemort to reveal his flaws and completely expose the news of his resurrection to everyone
To be honest, this proposal made Dumbledore very hesitant. As long as the news of Voldemort's resurrection was exposed in advance, he would not have to continue to bear such great pressure in the British wizarding world.
"The master has given me another task... Please persuade him to give up the competition." Before leaving, the house-elf took off the communicator on his wrist and handed it to Dumbledore along with the parchment, then left in a hurry. He needed to follow the master's orders and take the McDougal sisters back to the safe house.
Looking at the thing in front of him that looked like a Muggle watch, Dumbledore fell into a brief silence. In the end, he continued to communicate with Albert, hoping to persuade him to give up the competition.
Dumbledore carefully looked at the dark wizard named Afjie in the audience. According to the information provided by Albert, this guy was actually Voldemort in disguise
Honestly, not even Dumbledore could tell.
"How did you know that?" Dumbledore's eyes fell on the parchment and he immediately understood what was going on.
There were two sheets of parchment inside. The first was densely packed with countless ink spots, but the second was the players' dugout, with ink spots marking Albert Anderson.
It seems that Anderson is more cautious than I expected. Now I can only hope that his preparation can work!
Before the duel, the commentator was giving a motivational speech.
“… Tonight’s magical feast is of such a magnitude that our descendants will envy us for having witnessed such an extraordinary moment!”
The duel competition kicked off amid excitement and cheers.
However, the noise suddenly stopped, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Many people stood up at once, and there were even sobbing sounds around. Some audience members even buried their faces in their hands in fear.
The duel on the stage is over.
Yes, it's over!
The two sides fought for only one round, and Pierre, who was favored by countless people, died. He was killed instantly by a stroke of black magic, which shocked many people instantly.
Voldemort cast spells very quickly and used dark magic just as neatly. The spells from both sides collided with each other in the air, and then... Pierre was crushed by Voldemort. He almost watched the spell coming towards him. Even if Pierre had declared surrender directly, it was too late.
He is dead.
Hit by black magic, died cleanly.
Even without using the Avada Kedavra curse, Voldemort can still kill people.
However, for Voldemort, the Avada Kedavra Curse is obviously more practical, because as long as the spell hits the target, it can take the opponent's life silently.
After Voldemort killed his opponent, Dumbledore immediately conveyed the message to Albert, he still hoped that Albert could give up the game.
However, the answer I got was still: Don't worry, he can't kill me in a short time.
Dumbledore really didn't know where Albert got his confidence from.
If the principal knew that Albert's confidence was from him, he would definitely tell him to stop making trouble. He was on the stage and could not stop this from happening at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Dumbledore went directly to the organizer. He was ready to appear under Voldemort's nose and put some pressure on the other party.
In fact, Dumbledore's face is still very useful. Except for the British people, everyone is willing to give him face.
Although the contestants have signed a magic contract, even if they die in the duel it has nothing to do with them, but... if this continues, it will definitely affect the holding of the next duel competition.
No one wants to risk their life by participating in the competition.
Dumbledore was invited by the organizers to be a special guest and will host the game together with the referee to avoid similar troubles from happening again.
When Albert entered and saw Dumbledore, he knew that he was safe from Voldemort, and now he should concentrate on dealing with the guy in front of him.
"Let's make a deal!"
The dark wizard Percival did not rush to take action, but smiled and said to Albert: "I can voluntarily admit defeat, but... if you become the runner-up, your runner-up prize money will belong to me. If you become the champion, then I will pretend that I said nothing."
"Give up just like that?" Albert looked at the guy in front of him warily, fearing that he would launch a sneak attack.
"I don't want to fight the black wizard Afjie. He is very dangerous and it is not worth losing my life. If you want to fight him, I suggest you accept my advice and face the black wizard Afjie in the best condition." Ignoring the referee's surprised look and the shouts of the audience, Percival continued, "Think about it. I think it will not harm you!"
"You have a lot of ideas. If I agree, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word later?" Albert did not refuse. It would be better if the other party surrendered directly, but it would not matter if he did not surrender and fought.
"Dumbledore, you should have heard it too!" Percival said to the old man, "You be a witness."
Dumbledore nodded expressionlessly.
The second duel ended with Percival choosing to surrender as a result of an internal transaction.
Of course, they were greeted with a lot of garbage and angry curses.
Everyone was very dissatisfied and asked the organizer to return the money.
They spent so much money to watch the exciting duel tournament finals, not to see this stuff.
"I like the way they are frustrated but can't do anything to me."
Percival still had a smile on his face, not caring at all that people were throwing things at him.
Well, even if some emotional audience members used the arrow-shooting spell at him, he still had a smile on his face. No matter what, this trip was not a loss.
To put it bluntly, most dark wizards are willing to participate in the competition just for the money.
"Mr. Boshival, are you sure you want to give up the game?" the referee asked with a dark face.
"Yes, I gave up later too." Percival said with a smile, "I remember that contestants can surrender!"
"Of course, but if you give up just like that, you may not be able to continue to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Tournament next time." The referee reminded with a dark face.
No matter how you look at it, this match was screwed.
If they refund the tickets, they will probably lose a lot of money. But they can't not refund everyone's tickets if they don't want to lose their reputation.
You know, tickets for the duel tournament finals are much more expensive than the previous two games. It should have been the most exciting game, but it ended up with a lot of trouble.
"I certainly don't want to die in vain. By the way, I suggest you persuade that boy. He's such an excellent young man, it would be a pity to let him die like this." Percival also didn't think Anderson could defeat the dark wizard Afjie.
However, these words don’t sound like what a dark wizard would say at all, but maybe Percival just made some money and is in a very good mood!
The wizard's expression twitched, but after hesitating for a long time, he decided to negotiate with Albert.
Of course they knew about Albert Anderson, who was a fairly famous genius and was well-known in many fields.
However, no one really knew how good Albert Anderson was at dueling, but in the dueling competition, Anderson undoubtedly showed amazing talent and strength. He felt that such a person really shouldn't die here, at least Dumbledore didn't want him to die here either, so the old man took the initiative to serve as a special guest.
"You really don't plan to give up. There's no shame in giving up the game. And there's no need to take the risk. Your life is worth more than 10,000 Galleons."
"I never think I will lose!" Albert refused. "I will try my best when the time comes. You may have to pay attention to the aftermath of the battle." The referee persuaded earnestly.
The referee from the organizing committee cast a pleading look at Dumbledore. The situation today was already so bad, and instead of having another person die, it would be better to give the trophy and prize money directly to the dark wizard Afjie.
Of course, there was another reason, which the gambling house had mentioned before. They said that as long as they could persuade Albert to give up the competition, they would be willing to help pay half of the championship prize money.
However, Albert decided to confront Voldemort. He wanted to grow up, and this process was inevitable. It was a good choice when it was relatively safe.
