The Admiral of Hogwarts

“Moreover, the other party shouldn't have died from drug poisoning.” At this moment, Radiance tapped the stone basin with the cane in her hand and said, “This potion isn't lethal.”

“What!” Sirius looked at Radiance, puzzled. “You know, that person is Voldemort. How could he not set up potions in this place? You must know that he killed thousands of people back then. How could he not kill people in this place?”

“This is also what we analyzed based on Voldemort's personality.” Looking at Sirius's anxious face, Radiance said directly.

“He would let them live for a while longer to find out how they were able to get through his defenses. Most importantly, to find out why they were so eager to empty the stone basin.”

“After all, with Voldemort's inexplicable arrogance, he would definitely believe that his Horcrux was an exceptionally secret existence unknown to others, so naturally, he would have to figure this out.”

Saying this, Radiance looked at the stone basin filled with liquid, a thoughtful look on her face. Then, she quickly turned her head to look at Sirius, who was on the side.

“If you want to take out Regulus's remains from the basin, you may need to completely clean this place up first, because the magic on this basin is connected to the entire cave.”

“Everything here will be arranged according to your instructions.” Sirius nodded. He knew he wasn't good at this, so naturally, he would listen to the opinions of a true professional.

In the next 15 minutes, Hugo, Hermione, and Veneto quickly drew a large number of ancient and powerful runes on this small island, and prepared to lure the Inferi.

“Everyone ready? Then let's begin.” Seeing that everyone was in position, Radiance gently tapped the floor with the cane in her hand.

In an instant, all the runes on the ground were activated. A golden halo quickly expanded outwards from her as the center. Wherever this halo passed, the lake surface was no longer smooth as a mirror but was violently churning.

Hugo saw dense masses of corpses emerging from underwater. Those pale white heads and hands emerged from the dark, muddy water, men, women, and children. They all opened their sunken, sightless eyes, struggling and twisting, floating towards the rocks.

“May the Holy Light protect us.” Seeing this, Radiance stepped forward and raised the cane in her hand high. In an instant, a burst of light filled the entire cave, and then all the Inferi were enveloped in a ball of golden flames.

Under the scorching flames, wisps of black smoke emerged from these Inferi, and then various parts of their bodies gradually carbonized, layer by layer turning into powder and falling into the water.

However, even so, those seemingly charred Inferi still firmly surged towards the small island where Hugo and the others were, even like a black tide.

“Dispel evil!” Seeing those charred Inferi approaching step by step, Saint George drew the sword from his waist, then held the sword with both hands and thrust it forcefully into the ground.

As the tip of the sword sank into the ground a palm's depth, a flame emitting holy power formed a ring of fire around the island, and those Inferi that rushed up completely turned into a ball of black ashes after hitting the ring of fire.

And when those Inferi turned into ashes, everyone on the island could see milky white souls slowly rising from the ashes, their faces changing from hideous to peaceful. Then, after bowing to them, they turned into golden light and dissipated.

In the beginning, only a few Inferi crawled out of the lake, but as time went on, these monsters became more and more numerous, and even the ring of fire could not completely stop them.

“Now it's my turn.” Just as Sirius was watching the approaching Inferi and preparing to cast a spell, another girl's voice suddenly came from the side, and then a ball of golden-red flames that looked like a phoenix flew out from behind him.

This ball of flame revolved above the dark lake, while emitting phoenix-like cries, and all the Inferi touched by the flames emitted from this transformed fire phoenix burned up.

Turning his head, Sirius looked at the youngest-looking red-haired girl using her wand to command that ball of flame to continuously burn those Inferi trying to approach.

“Don't look at me!” Looking at Sirius, who had turned his head, Laffey glared at him and said. “Go and carry out your mission. We are responsible for these safety issues.”

The defense circle formed by the three ship girls joining forces had extremely powerful strength. Those Inferi were like the tide crashing on the reef, smashing themselves to pieces. After more than ten minutes, the seemingly endless Inferi finally became sparse.

“I found him, he's over there!” At this moment, Kreacher, who had been staring at the lake with wide eyes, suddenly shouted, “Master Regulus, Master Regulus is over there.”

Hearing Kreacher's shout, everyone immediately focused their attention on the place he was pointing at. Sure enough, they saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen slowly floating up from the lake.

Unlike the Inferi around him who were wearing ordinary people's clothes, he was wearing a wizard's black robe, and there was also a Black family crest embroidered with silver thread on his chest.

Regulus's appearance was very similar to Sirius in his youth, both with black hair, except that he looked slightly thinner than Sirius.

Perhaps because of the environment in the cave, the corpse had not rotted, and the face could be seen very clearly, but it looked slightly swollen because it had been soaked in the water for too long.

“Regulus!!!” Sirius shouted shrilly, his voice echoing repeatedly in the deep cave, like a wounded wolf howling. Then, he suddenly rushed forward, looking like he wanted to pull his brother back.

“Saint George!” Seeing this, Radiance grabbed the agitated Sirius and shouted to Saint George.

“Understood.” Saint George immediately summoned a warhorse composed purely of holy light, then jumped on the horse and rushed towards where Regulus was.

Them as one, covered in golden flames, burned all the Inferi on the road into balls of ashes. Soon, they rushed to where Regulus was, and then Saint George reached out and grabbed Regulus's arm, bringing him to the island.

When Regulus's body was brought to the island, Radiance immediately used the lower end of the cane in her hand to press against Regulus's chest and recited the incantation. As the chant, like a sacred song, was recited, Regulus gradually transformed.

He began to transform from an Inferius to an ordinary corpse, his body gradually softened, and his struggling strength became smaller and smaller. Finally, he lay there quietly without moving.

At this time, Regulus's remains were no longer as pale as before, nor did they emit the strange aura of death and coldness. The whole person looked as if he was asleep.

“Home, we're going home, Regulus!” Watching Radiance finish everything in her hand, Sirius immediately rushed up, holding Regulus's body and crying bitterly, and making heart-wrenching cries.
