"Dumbledore was backed into a corner and lost his wand. Well done. Draco, you're even better than we thought." A gruff voice said.
"Now is a good opportunity. Dumbledore is alone. He is surrounded by us. Kill him quickly, Draco." Another person urged.
Surrounding Dumbledore?
Kyle almost laughed. He quickened his pace again, eager to see how stupid a person could be to tell such a cold joke.
If numbers could make up for the difference in strength, Voldemort would have been beaten long ago.
"Good evening, Gibbon." It was Dumbledore's voice, his tone was very calm, as if he was inviting that person to an afternoon tea party.
"If you're in a hurry, why don't you do it yourself. I'm here. There's no need to embarrass a child."
"No, we have an order, Draco must take action." A dull voice said, "Okay, Draco, act quickly, think about Lucius and Sissy, they are waiting to listen to your wishes What’s the news?”
The threat in this last sentence is self-evident.
"Look at you, Dumbledore, you can't even hold the wand steady." It was that rough voice again, "I really don't understand why the Dark Lord cares about you so much."
"Oh, I'm exhausted and slow to react." Dumbledore's voice was filled with helplessness, "I'm over a hundred years old and I'm no longer useful, but one day... you will end up like this too. Yoshimoto of Abutachi...if you're lucky..."
"What do you mean by this? What do you mean by this?" The Death Eater's voice became sharp, "Hurry up, Draco, kill him!"
"Relax, don't be anxious, give the young people some encouragement." A lazy voice said: "By the way, have any of you seen Fenrir?"
"He might have gone crazy in school, that brainless beast." There was a hint of disgust in the voice of another Death Eater.
"Fenrir Greyback?" Dumbledore's voice was a little more solemn.
"Yes, a werewolf, and a werewolf who likes to bite children." It was still the same lazy voice, "Would you like to guess how many students will become werewolves after tonight?"
"What a shame, Oren, the moon isn't particularly full tonight."
"Sorry, I forgot." Oren said, "But Dumbledore, Greyback is far more cruel than you think. He doesn't care if tonight is a full moon night."
"It doesn't matter, I trust the professors at school...just like I once believed in you."
"It's such an honor," Oren said.
"Okay, stop reminiscing!" a woman said shrilly, "Do it quickly, Draco, or get out of the way!"
Kyle didn't hear Malfoy speak, and he also noticed that no one mentioned Harry.
He remembered that Harry's name was clearly on the Marauder's Map just now. As the savior and Voldemort's nemesis, the Death Eaters had no reason to ignore him.
But it doesn't matter,
At this time, Kyle had reached the top of the tower and pushed open the ajar door in front of him.
Dumbledore was leaning against a wall, and opposite him was Draco Malfoy, who was shaking non-stop. The wand, which was in pieces, fell on the floor not far from them.
Dumbledore was disarmed by someone else?
The corner of Kyle's mouth twitched, and he really felt that Dumbledore's acting was a bit fake. He was not injured now, how could he be disarmed by a student... But these people still believed him.
At the same time, the sound of pushing the door quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they subconsciously looked over.
When he saw that the person coming was Kyle, Dumbledore's eyes suddenly opened wide in disbelief.
At the same time... I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kyle also saw three parts of annoyance and seven parts of panic in his expression.
The Death Eaters on the other side were so happy that they almost screamed.
"It's you!" The witch in the crowd's eyes flashed with bitter hatred, "We were just thinking about how to find you, but we didn't expect you to come uninvited."
"Yeah, I'm here." Kyle said, "What then?"
"Leave him to me, I will kill him with my own hands! No, I will torture him severely with the Cruciatus Curse!"
"No, he should be handed over to me," Antonin Dolokhov said.
They both glared at each other, neither of them willing to give in.

Chapter 761 The Lighted Tower
Kyle's appearance broke the original situation in the tower.
So there was an interesting scene. On one side of the tower were a trembling Malfoy and a frail-looking Dumbledore.
On the other side, in order to compete for Kyle's ownership, the two Death Eaters had a heated argument and almost started fighting on the spot.
But Kyle ignored them and just looked at the familiar figure in the crowd.
"Long time no see, Professor Oren." Kyle extended his hand to say hello, looking like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Yes." Oren said calmly, "Long time no see. It's rare that you still remember me."
"So, aren't you going to try for it?" Kyle asked with a smile.
"what?"
Oren was stunned for a moment, but then quickly understood what he meant, and subconsciously looked at Alecto and Antonin, who were having a quarrel.
"No, I'm new here and don't have much say." He shrugged, "Just leave it to them.
"After all, the Dark Lord only ordered Draco to kill Dumbledore. As for you, he didn't have a clear order. It doesn't matter who comes, as long as the task can be completed."
"is it?"
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you, right?" As he said that, Oren walked to the window sill and sat down, pretending to be there to watch the show.
……
Tsk, Kyle curled his lips, feeling somewhat disappointed.
And his indifferent look also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Death Eaters around him.
Alecto and Antonin quickly reached an agreement... They decided to go together. As for who can kill Kyle, it all depends on his ability.
But just as the two stretched out their wands, the door behind Kyle was suddenly blown open.
An arm made of flames slammed through the oak door. Appeared in front of everyone.
Then came the head, the body... In just a few seconds, a giant made of flames appeared behind Kyle.
Because of the limited space, the giant only had one head and two arms. Under its neck was a fierce fire that surged like ocean waves.
The temperature in the tower began to soar, and there was a constant crackling sound.
"Kyle, you..."
Dumbledore was paralyzed. The space in the tower was limited, and such a large-scale fire was simply an indiscriminate attack.
At the moment, he couldn't care about anything else. He appeared in the corner at an incredible speed, reached out and grabbed Harry out of the invisibility cloak.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand, caught the flying wand, and pointed it at Malfoy from a distance.
An invisible force pulled Malfoy to Dumbledore's side, and Li Huo, who was following behind, was blocked five inches in front of the three of them.
Malfoy, who had escaped unscathed, couldn't hold on anymore when he saw the fierce fire raging in front of him. His face was covered with tears and snot, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
But others were not as lucky as him to be protected by Dumbledore.
The Death Eater closest to the door was hit by the giant's fist, and then a black shadow flashed and scratched his neck before he turned into ash.
The surrounding Li Huo, as if consciously, automatically bypassed the Poison Leopard who was finishing the last attack.
"Gibbon, damn it!"
"Protect them all!"
"Armor protection!"
The frightened screams of Death Eaters could be heard all around.
The windows of the tower exploded, and fierce fire poured out along the windows. From a distance, it seemed as if someone had inserted a huge burning torch at the highest point of Hogwarts, lighting up the dark night sky.
After what seemed like seconds, maybe minutes, the flames died down.
Because Hogwarts Castle itself has a certain degree of magic, the main body of the tower was not damaged too much, but the color became a lot darker.
In the tower, Harry and Malfoy were protected by Dumbledore and were naturally unscathed.
As for the Death Eaters...
Snape and Oren reacted the fastest, breaking open the window and escaping as soon as Li Huo came in.
I don’t know if Oren deliberately chose the window seat. He ran the fastest among these people. Even Kyle didn’t react. In the blink of an eye, the others disappeared.
Antonin, who had previously threatened to kill Kyle, also ran away. At the last moment, he pointed his wand at Alecto next to him, used her body to escape the first wave of fire, and then cruelly cut himself off. His right leg was entangled by Li Huo and he jumped out of the window.
Alecto, who had been stabbed in the back by his teammates, was lying motionless on the ground with only half a breath left.
But luckier than the Death Eater named Gibbon, she was not dead yet. The iron armor curse just saved her life.
The poisonous leopard stepped forward, wanting to mend its claws out of habit.
This is what Kyle explained before. In order not to leave a blood debt, it is most appropriate to give the final blow to magical animals... This is also the reason why the Poison Leopard killed Gibbon with fierce fire just now.
But before it could walk over, Alecto disappeared.
This scene made the Poison Leopard slightly stunned, and then it moved its nose, as if it smelled something, and locked its eyes on Dumbledore in front of it.
It lowered its body and the poison sac on its neck swelled again.
Fortunately, Kyle had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he took out the box in time and shoved it in.
Good guy, show your teeth at Dumbledore and risk your life?
He just had this poisonous leopard. It was precious and he didn't want to leave it here.
"I never knew that you actually brought such a dangerous creature." Dumbledore looked at Kyle, "The Poison Leopard... In a sense, it is more dangerous than the ten Death Eaters put together. ”
"I know, but isn't this a special situation?" Kyle said with some guilt.
He was about to graduate, and he didn't want to cause any trouble at this time. What if he was expelled like Newt and became an undergraduate.
It doesn’t sound good to say it out loud, it’s so embarrassing.
Dumbledore didn't speak, just looked at Kyle quietly.
But that didn't last long.
