Chapter 297: Daphne's Blood Magic

Harry was too distracted by the two nundus to realize that Daphne had left the barrier and was now running across the chamber.

Luckily for her, the two beasts were completely focused on Harry and didn't care about chasing anyone else at the moment.

When she reached the pool of blood, she knelt down in front of it, touched the thick liquid with her wand, and began to chant in Old English.

"Seeketh those folk, seeketh those liketh thee..."

The blood began to stir.

"Findeth those folk, and killeth those folk all..." The pool of blood came to life. It divided itself into several equal parts and remains in the air... waiting for the final command.

"Sanguinus Caedum." Daphne's wand was pointing at the two nundus.

The orbs of nundu blood adopted the shape of sharp needles before flying to their targets, moving as fast as bullets.

Harry had noticed an intense magical current behind him but was not able to turn his attention away from these two.

He was using his wand in his left hand, forming a barrier to block one beast while using his staff to fight off the other one.

They didn't give him even a second to breathe. And that was also starting to apply in the literal sense as the air around him became increasingly toxic to breathe.

Then, out of nowhere, some red spikes came flying and buried themselves into the flesh of the nundus, making them yelp in pain.

The blood needles were sharper than the average steel and were able to pierce the surface of their tough hides.

But Daphne's magic wasn't finished yet.

The needles use the wounds as an entry point to bury themselves into the bodies of the beasts and continue to cause havoc from the inside.

"You know... the materials of the nundus would have been worth a fortune... what a shame, there is not much left."

"If I didn't use that curse, the ones dissolving on the ground could have been us," Harry said.

"I wasn't complaining!" Daphne huffed.

"I just thought it was a shame to lose such valuable materials. And... I think I helped you quite a bit this time, right?" She got a bit closer.

Harry turned around and went to retrieve his staff.

"I had everything under control."

"Really? Because those two last ones appear to have been giving you a hard time from where I was standing."

"Nonsense," Harry brushed her off.

"I was about to take care of them with..."

"With what?" She asked.

"Now you'll never know." Harry shrugged.

"But..." He stared at her directly.

"You were very helpful back there... so thanks."

He turned to face the Peverell vault.

"Well... if there are no more security measures... we can open this door now."

"I don't think it will open with your touch. Your Peverell blood must be too diluted to pass the safety protocols," Xenos said.

"Yes, I think we all noticed that..." Daphne said.

"But Harry may have another way."

"Sure, I do..." Harry tapped the gate with his staff.

"You may want to stand back for this..."
