Chapter 244: 'The Dark Mark”

Chapter 244: “The Dark Mark”

Antonin Dolohov’s body tensed immediately because of the ‘boy’ opposite him.

A pure-blood radical, he had always enjoyed torturing Muggles and those who did not support the Dark Lord. He is even one of the few people who knows the true identity of the Dark Lord because of his friendship when he was young. However, his trust in the Dark Lord gradually wavered during the year.

The Dark Lord has never led them to do great things since the Death Eaters have been established for so long.

On the other hand, in Dolohov’s eyes, the Dark Lord doesn’t seem to be that powerful anymore. Although the spell just now was quick and without a trace, the unlucky one who was cursed was just shrieking. As someone who has experienced the Cruciatus Curse, he felt that this was not what a Dark Lord level of power.

Apart from these two factors, the most important and most difficult point for Dolohov is the terrible, evil, and cruel Dark Lord seems to have forgotten his identity.

Why? He chose a Mudblood as a body vessel.

This is unacceptable to Dolohov.

As a pure-blood wizard, Dolohov has always been highly confident. When he joined the Death Eaters, he acknowledged the power of the Dark Lord and wanted to learn more from him. At the same time, he was looking forward to the new world that he had described. Muggles became pets, and Mudbloods became their slave.

But now, after the Dark Lord was dealt with by Dumbledore and Grindelwald. He occupied the body of a Mudblood for no reason?

Dolohov had already called him that in his heart, and in his opinion, he was no longer worthy of being his Master.

He would rather his Master become a terrible monster. But when he got into the body of a Mudblood, Dolohov thought the Dark Lord no longer deserved his allegiance.

Of course, other Death Eaters are still there. Dolohov is not going to turn against them on the spot. He is still a little afraid. However, he had always had a good relationship with most of the Death Eaters, and his own strength was outstanding enough that after this meeting, he could find a way to slowly withdraw from this organization.

Dolohov didn’t expect the wand to turn, and he became the chosen one by the wand.

Without a wand or a spell cast, the short surge of magic power almost made him tremble. He’s a powerful wizard and a duelist, but never has he felt such a strong sense of power in his life.

Dolohov had no time to take out his wand, let alone recite the spell. He instinctively cast out his defensive spell wandless.

Under the horrified gazes of the Death Eaters, Dolohov had no strength to resist. He opened his mouth wide terrifyingly, and hot flames emerged from his mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears.

Without struggling or screaming, Dolohov instantly turned into a burning man.

Sean breathed out lightly, and the ashes dissipated in the air.

The remaining Death Eaters all trembled. They lowered their heads firmly and lay down on their bodies. The sweat on their foreheads was not only because of the high temperature just now but also because of the unspeakable fear.

No one was suspicious, and no one even dared to look up at the young man anymore.

Their Master has returned. He has not lost his strength because of his new body but is stronger.

Although Dolohov did not lift the mask, the Death Eaters all knew his identity. This wizard was one of the best among the Death Eaters, and he completely disappeared from this world in just a second.

They have never doubted that the Dark Lord has the ability to cast spells without a wand and nonverbally. But there are some limitations. The power of a wandless and nonverbal cast will not be as good as normal casting.

The few people closest to Dolohov swallowed and peeked at the ashes on the ground. One side of their bodies was suffering from the high temperature just now, but they dared not move.

Sean raised his eyebrows and showed a regretful smile, “I’m just going to give him a warm reply. It’s my fault, I should be more careful next time.”

What Grindelwald taught him about this spell was surprisingly terrifying. In order to deter others and dispel the Death Eaters’ doubts, Sean was prepared to do this from the beginning.

Sean stood up by silently matching the information in his heart with each Death Eater and ranking them according to loyalty and strength.

“Do you know why I didn’t respond to you before this?” Sean showed an incomprehensible smile.

“Master, were you still recovering? I called you many times.” Barty asked respectfully.

“But master heard my call.” Bellatrix said eagerly.

Sean smiled slightly, “Barty, Bella. I have seen your loyalty. In the future, you will receive unimaginable rewards.”

Under the excited and expectant eyes of the two, Sean paced slowly, “Sean Wallup, the original owner of this body, has acted against me. That idiot Quirrell screwed up everything and put me into Dumbledore and Grindelwald’s trap.”

“Damn fool!” Bellatrix screamed.

“However—” Sean imitated Tom’s morbidly proud expression and stretched out his hands, “I’m prepared, and those two stupid old men were still fooled.”

The Death Eaters all laughed in unison with him.

“This lovely boy who was of great use to me has fallen into the hands of the great Dark Lord!”

“However—” Sean narrowed his eyes and changed the topic, “For my plan, I must continue to operate under the eyes of those two old men. With that, I learned something.”

The Death Eaters felt the chill in their Master’s words, and all of them stooped unconsciously.

Sean glanced at everyone coldly, “My friends who are united under the Dark Mark. Someone betrayed all of us.”

The Lestranges and Barty Jr. stood up angrily and pointed their wands at the rest of them.

“Master, who is that despicable traitor?!”

“Don’t get too excited. It has to be said that my new body still has limitations,” Sean stroked his forehead, “I have become too weak and couldn’t even find the traitor who hid himself.”

The remaining Death Eaters shuddered.

Barty narrowed his eyes, and he looked at Sean, “Master, there are a few people who didn’t come tonight. Snape has been working under Dumbledore’s control.”

“Severus’ loyalty doesn’t need to be questioned, Barty,” Sean twitched the corner of his mouth, “I have my own arrangements for some people.”

“Yes, Master.”

Sean smiled sinisterly, “Everyone, show your Dark Mark.”

Although there is fear in their hearts, the tragic example is right before them, and no one dares to hesitate. Everyone rolled up their robes to reveal the Dark Mark.

Sean took out his wand and tapped it on the nearest Lucius’ forearm. In Lucius’ eyes, the Dark Mark became weaker and weaker and then disappeared. A new dark Dark Mark appeared. Lucius looked at Sean tremblingly.

“Don’t worry, as long as you stay loyal to me, the new mark won’t do any harm. Of course, when you try to betray me and everyone here, be prepared to meet me.” Sean showed an inexplicable smile.

In this way, no one dared to resist. Sean eliminated the Dark Mark that Tom had planted one by one and then replaced it with his own. When the last one was finished, Sean raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.

From now on, Tom will no longer receive calls from his followers. If he is lucky enough to recover, only a few people who were not present today will receive the news when the Death Eaters are summoned.
