This made Sean frown. Standing in front of them is Albus Dumbledore, one of the most powerful wizards in the world today and one of the smartest.
Even if there is an unbreakable vow, the Returners have no chance of dealing with a person like him.
Sean could attribute those half-beings who were neither human nor ghosts in the past to the fact that they had no brains. After all, they didn't have one physically. But Thomas is a living person, and he didn't act rashly when he met him during the day.
How could they be so sure that Dumbledore belonged to their side? How do they trust Dumbledore completely without considering the consequences?
Sean can't understand this group of people. It is undeniable that there are idiots among the Returners.
However, there must be smart people in it. Looking at the current situation, even those smart people are sure of one thing: Dumbledore will never betray them and take the initiative to terminate their cooperation.
The Returners are not that stupid, so it can only explain one thing. Dumbledore has used some means to completely win their trust, at least let the Returners believe that Dumbledore will never betray them.
The unbreakable vow is one aspect, but Sean feels that this is not enough. There must be other reasons. He looked at him with a relaxed expression, and a huge question arose in his heart.
The three seemed completely shocked by Dumbledore's words, and they had never imagined such a situation.
"Mr. Thomas," Dumbledore looked calm, "Sometimes I have to say that you are so confident to the point you don't see things clearly."
The three took a step back and panicked at the same time, "Dumbledore! Have you made a mistake?! This is an unbreakable vow, and even if you don't kill me, as long as you do something to me, the vow will turn on you!"
Just as Thomas said, the unbreakable vow is already about to move. The magic power is entangled on Dumbledore's wrist, constantly wriggling towards his heart. But Dumbledore didn't seem to care about it at all; he even raised his hand and looked at it easily.
"Oh, I have tried it many times. Breaking the vow at this level will indeed cause something. The vow is a very terrible thing. For most wizards, they will definitely die from this."
"However, I can suppress it."
Almost as soon as Dumbledore said this, the three immediately moved. Instead of the three acting in unison, Thomas stepped forward while the man in the hood stepped back. The magic power belonging to the Sloth exploded in an instant, and Sean felt the magic power nearby.
Thomas and the other person seemed to be ready to jump and unleash all their magic power directly. Two dark green spells almost made Sean's scalp tingle, and he was sure that his flame might not be able to stop these two spells.
While the black hooded figure didn't Apparate to escape, his wand was making a quick motion. However, all of this was within Dumbledore's expectations.
Dumbledore finally took out his wand. The moment the two dark green spells struck, the Elder Wand waved, and a shield that had appeared in front of Sean appeared again.
It made Sean cover his ears, and the two magic collided. There was no explosion, only a trembling sound, and the spell disappeared. The surface of the shield fluctuated and returned to calm.
Thomas and the other person, who cast the spells, were kneeling on the ground, panting violently. They're buying time for the other one to leave.
The spell cast quickly by the black hooded figure has also taken shape; the tip of the wand flickered slightly, and there was no fluctuation. Sean saw that Thomas' face suddenly changed.
"Dumbledore, you dare to do this!"
Dumbledore nodded, "Mr. Thomas, thank you for your trust."
At this time, Sean felt that there was a transparent barrier around him that he hadn't noticed before. This barrier seemed to be hidden in the air, and only after intercepting the spell of the hooded figure did a slight fluctuation appear.
"I can't let you guys. After all, there is still a lot of things to be done together." Dumbledore said relaxedly.
"Dumbledore! You!" Thomas clenched his teeth tightly.
"What a magical power..." Dumbledore muttered to himself.
He turned to look at Sean, "Sean, I'm sorry. But I might need your help."
"You can probably guess it. Although I can't explain it clearly, I really can't do anything to them, so I need you to control them."
Dumbledore added, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side. I think this is a good opportunity for us to make a move."
Sean narrowed his eyes. Dumbledore had something to say. He has a lot of fighting experience and has come into contact with all kinds of enemies.
Although Sean was still a little puzzled, he nodded in agreement, "Alright, Professor."
Thomas heard the conversation between the two, and his expression became resentful, "Dumbledore, you can't do anything to us. What happens if you trap us here? The One Who Sees will definitely see this. Relying on this boy who has great power but doesn't know how to use it is usele-"
Thomas was interrupted by Sean's spell in the middle of his words. A dark green light streaked across his cheeks, heading straight for the black hooded figure.
Thomas' eyes widened. Sean didn't have the power to grasp the Sin. How did he, a student who hadn't reached the fifth grade, cast such a powerful spell?
He seemed to want to question it, but he didn't say anything.
The ground beneath him squirmed and turned into a prison, tightly wrapping him and another person who was paralyzed. At the same time, the soil squirmed and turned into a steel mask, tightly sealing his mouth.
The black hooded figure was the only one left with the ability to fight. He swung his wand violently, and the Sloth's power fluctuated again. A transparent barrier appeared in front of him, forcibly blocking Sean's curse.
Sean had already taken back the flame at this point. He kept waving his wand and relentlessly threw all kinds of spells at the black hooded figure.
Whether it's a Killing Curse or even a variety of prank spells mixed in between, all he does is make that figure fall off.
The black hooded figure showed great strength. He kept dodging Sean's attacks, shielding, dodging, and moving around. His skills were amazing. Even though he was attacked first at a disadvantageous position, he was able to find a little space to cast a spell on Sean.
Sean tilted his head to avoid the spell, and the spell slid across the bushes beside him, making the sound of being burned by flames.
While maintaining his concentration, Sean tried his best to feel the magic power from the Sloth. It was strange that no words can describe it.
There is no doubt about the power, but what made Sean even more puzzled was that during the process of fighting the black hooded figure, he felt that the nature of his magical power was changing. The power that originated from himself rather than Sloth seemed to be slowly changing. Although Sean was still able to freely control his own magic power, this change made him a little uneasy.
Sean glanced at Dumbledore, who was watching the battle in mid-air, and he gave him an encouraging look. Sean hesitated for a moment but decided to trust Dumbledore. However, he also knew that Dumbledore was not a god, and he could not do anything to ensure his safety.
He awakened the Obscurus and let it start to fill his magic power output.
The red light grazed the top of the black hooded figure's head. The spell did not hit him, but Sean's spell slightly hit part of his hood.
What made Sean puzzled was that the black hooded figure hadn't completely come off. Instead, the part that was taken away by Sean's spell revealed a dark section.
How did these three people become what they are now, or are the other two people a clone of Thomas in some way?
Sean took a step back to avoid his spell; the ground splashed; Sean's left hand suddenly blurred and shot towards the figure. The sudden large-scale attack caught him off guard, and the black hooded figure hastily pulled up the dirt to form a mud wall to resist Sean's attack.
A few spots pierced the mud wall, hitting his body directly. A muffled groan came, but it wasn't the black hooded figure but Thomas.
They share the same consciousness. Such a thought flashed through Sean's mind, and another spell came out of his hand. The dazzling red light reached him in an instant.
The black hooded figure's shoulders, thighs, and abdomen were all pierced. He raised his hand, and the magic power gushed out.
Tremendous pressure surged up all of a sudden. It was the first time Sean had encountered this kind of feeling, and he didn't panic at all. The black hooded figure also noticed it and instantly increased the output of his magic power.
Two magic spells, one red and one green, are connected together, with a dazzling white light in the center. Sean frowned, and the hand holding his wand tightened even more.
It's not a matter of the total amount of magic power. Sean has a very powerful source of magic power, and there is also the Obscurus power. Although the power that can be borrowed is limited, it is more than enough to fight anyone.
Sean can clearly feel that without Thomas and another person's help, the power output of the black hooded figure cannot keep up with him.
However, they have The Sloth. That magical power seems to be the same as other magical powers. Obviously, the output cannot keep up with Sean, but it has always been able to suppress Sean's magic.
It was obvious that Sean was stronger, but the black hooded figure's strength was pushing Sean away in a strange way.
At the same time, the slowly changing behavior of his magic power happened again. Moreover, Sean noticed that the more his magic power was used, the greater that person's resistance was, as if his magic power was evolving and upgrading.
Sean hesitated for a moment and closed his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, his magic power directly overwhelmed the black hooded figure's power as if a powerful energy had been injected, and Sean's magic began to suppress him.
