Chapter 433: Steel, Gunpowder, and Spellcasters

After three or four centuries of controlled population growth, the total number of inhabitants in Tyria has remarkably remained steady at approximately 150,000 to 160,000.

The vast underground complex, referred to as the "dungeon," has six primary exits to the surface. Five of these are located on the outskirts of what were once the Free Cities of Tyria, while the largest and most significant is positioned directly beneath the temple. Armed with intelligence supplied by Boryas, Viserys'...

Chapter 432: The Death of Aerea

The sudden shift in circumstances forced Viserys and the two-headed man into a direct confrontation atop the dragon's back. The precarious battleground highlighted the man’s grotesque and unnatural nature.

This creature isn’t a natural anomaly, Viserys thought grimly. He’s definitely a “mutant,” shaped by magic.

The elongated neck, stretching three feet like something from a horror story, was unnatural enough, but the true terror lay in the gaze of...

Chapter 431: The Two-Headed Man

The huge doors of the hall slammed shut, leaving Viserys with a growing sense of entrapment. The only source of light was the red glow streaming through a massive window near the top of the hall, twelve or thirteen meters high. Below it, skeletons were piled, as if some unfortunate souls had tried—and failed—to escape through the window.

Outside, the Yellow Dragon sensed the danger and let out a loud cry toward the hall. Yet the thick walls offered excellent soundproofing; Viserys h...

Chapter 430: The Giant Gates of Tyria

The people of Volantis revered the Dragonlords, but their loyalty was to the idea of power, not to any specific Dragonlord. This only reinforced Viserys's determination to eliminate others Dragonlord houses. The arrogance of the high Dragonlord houses posed a clear danger—betrayal was not beyond them. If they ever harbored the delusion of aligning with the Night King, it could spell disaster.

Without control of the skies, future battles would grow infinitely more perilous.

Viser...

Chapter 429: The Year of the Great Calamity

The Yellow Dragon sensed something deeply wrong with these few of its kind.

For humans, the instinctive response to seeing a corpse turn into a wight would be to flee. Dragons, however, reacted differently; when they saw the corpse of a fellow dragon behaving unnaturally, their first instinct was to attack.

Fortunately, Viserys intervened in time.

“It's fine, just relax,” he said, stroking the Yellow Dragon's neck while studying the gray dragons before him.

Despite...

Chapter 428: Valsha’s Dragon

Viserys recounted his experiences battling the wights, sharing his worries and concerns. He also mentioned the Dragonbone Tower. Valsha listened intently, her expression calm but intrigued, as though she were hearing an entertaining tale rather than a plea for her involvement.

When he finished, she responded with a faint smile. “Interesting. But the Night King cannot reach me, and I trust you can mine enough Dragonbones on your own.”

Her smile widened, revealing a set of unnat...

Chapter 427: Return to the Palace of Sorrow

Margaery's invitation, which was clearly an extension of Viserys’s command, immediately eased any lingering concerns the Roths might have had. Both Margaery and the Roths were perceptive individuals, and without explicitly acknowledging it, they had defused a potential long-standing tension. The meeting ended on a note of mutual understanding and relief.

A few days later, after the Roths had departed, Viserys returned to King’s Landing with Daenerys and their dragon. Shortly after, ...

Chapter 426: Margaery’s Invitation

King's Landing, Red Keep.

Roth Zalyne paced back and forth in the dimly lit reception room of the Red Keep, his nervous energy almost palpable. The flickering light from the torches made his eyes strain, adding to his unease. Occasionally, his gaze drifted to the window where the dragon banner fluttered in the wind, a stark reminder of the man he was about to face. His thoughts spiraled back ten years to the day he first crossed paths with Viserys Targaryen.

Back then, Viserys had...

Chapter 210: What About Your Egg?

After March, the weather gradually warmed up, and the ice that had blanketed the Black Lake all winter finally thawed last week.

Lately, the giant squid had taken to occasionally poking its head and tentacles out of the lake's depths to bask in the warm sunlight on the surface. This sight had drawn a crowd of fascinated students.

Although many who’d read Hogwarts: A History knew about the giant squid in Black Lake, sightings were rare. With the exception of Slyther...

Chapter 425: The Savior’s Appearance

"If only we had bows and arrows, we could have saved so many lives!"

"Yeah! If I had a bow and arrow, I could’ve taken down at least ten more White Walkers!"

"Damn this weather. It's freezing."

"It’s all because of that cursed Icebone Tower!"

For Edmure, a commander whose expertise lay in archery, losing access to crossbows was akin to losing his arms. Though his own skill with a sword was mediocre, his ability to lead and command archers was unmatched. While he co...

Chapter 209: A Good Place to Relax

This was probably the most extraordinary Quidditch match Hogwarts had seen in a century.

Hufflepuff, who had been unfairly targeted throughout the entire match, won the game, yet none of them felt any joy. They celebrated briefly and symbolically before hurrying back to the Changing Rooms.

Gryffindor, who hadn’t been the target of Snape’s ire, lost once again, and naturally, they weren’t pleased either.

Even many of the spectators found their enthusiasm dampened by the...

Chapter 424: The First Battle Ends

Benerro, still perched on the dragon’s back, no longer cared about the prophecies. The supposed Nissa Nissa, Viserys, had been pierced by the Lightbringer, yet he was somehow still alive. Every time Benerro was certain of Viserys’s imminent death, he defied all expectations and survived.

Desperate for answers, Benerro scoured his memory, searching for any account of magic powerful enough to explain this. Nothing came to mind. His frustration mounted as he considere...

Chapter 208: Snape’s Solo Performance

As the only Keeper captain among the four teams, Wood’s skill was indisputable. Kyle hadn’t really expected to score right at the start, though—this opening shot was just to get a feel for the game. Now he knew: this match was going to be a tough one.

“We’re in trouble,” he muttered, his face serious, a flicker of regret passing over him. Shutting Gryffindor out with zero points wasn’t going to be easy... If he’d known, he wouldn’t have bragged to Cedric just now.

Chapter 423: The Death of the Night King?

The sight of the Lightbringer in Daenerys's hands clearly unsettled the Night King. He stared at the blade as though confronting a mortal enemy—or perhaps even his natural nemesis. For a fleeting moment, Viserys saw something unexpected in the Night King's icy gaze: fear.

So, that thing really is the real deal, Viserys thought. His earlier doubts about the Lightbringer’s authenticity—once only 30%—now rose to 70%. Yet even in the face of...

Chapter 422: Yet Another Dragonlord Family

As far as Viserys knew, the words spoken by the Child of the Forest should have been in the ancient language. Even if the White Walkers—beings from the same era as the Children—did not use the ancient tongue, there was no reason for their speech to be in Valyrian, a language that had not emerged until thousands of years later.

Previously, when the Night King had communicated with him through the wight puppet, he had used the common tongue. By all logic, he should have continued usin...

Chapter 421: The Fall of the Dragon

Even with an endless supply of White Walkers on this side of the Icebone Tower, only five or six could escape from it at a time. Viserys would kill the White Walkers, and the Icebone Tower would create or release more, maintaining a fragile, dynamic balance between the two forces.

With all three dragons present, the overall situation had improved. But the prolonged fighting was taking its toll. More White Walkers and wights were gradually advancing from the ruins of the Great Wall.

Chapter 420: The Battle for the Icebone Tower

Viserys's yellow dragon and Monterys's blue dragon swooped down toward the seven-meter-tall Icebone Tower designated by Benerro. Surrounding the tower were hundreds of White Walkers and twice as many wights. These wights, however, were not the typical dismembered "cannon fodder" variety but fully intact "special wights"—giants, reindeer, ice wolves, and more.

As Viserys and Monterys approached, the wights and White Walkers turned their attention upward, sensing their presence. Even th...

Chapter 207: Overwhelming Support Rate

As the second week approached, anticipation for the match continued to build, and the atmosphere in Hufflepuff became tense. The stakes were high; this game would determine who would claim crucial points and gain a solid lead heading into the final. It was the weekend, but the Hufflepuff common room was unusually quiet—no one even attempted to do their homework.

Harris, the team captain, was visibly jittery, pacing the common room with a Toy Broomstick in hand and repeatedly going ove...

Chapter 419: The Tower of Dragonbones

An orange path of fire streaked through the black and grey ranks of the White Walker army. It seemed to have materialized from nowhere, as though the frozen legion had been soaked in fuel and set alight. Yet these so-called flames were not ordinary fire—they were pitch-black dragon fire.

Spewed forth by the dragons, the fire retained its black hue even in the air, blending seamlessly with the darkened sky. But as it struck the ground and consumed the White Walkers, it ignited into sha...

Chapter 206: How is Quirrell Still Alive?

“We just went to talk to Hagrid for a bit, and you already know who Nicolas Flamel is?” Ron asked, stunned, as he and Harry sat in the Gryffindor common room. Neither of them had expected Hermione to spring such a revelation on them as soon as they got back.

“Where on earth did you find that out?” Harry asked, wide-eyed.

“On Dumbledore’s Chocolate Frog card!” Hermione replied impatiently. “You two go on about how many cards you’ve collected, and yet neither of yo...

Chapter 205: Hermione’s Intuition

"Amazing," Madam Pomfrey said, glancing at Hagrid, who had just asked to be discharged from the hospital. She turned to Kyle with a look of astonishment.

She had only intended for Kyle to help lift Hagrid’s spirits a bit, but she hadn’t expected him to go this far. Hagrid had been so stubbornly resistant, refusing to listen to anyone even when he was on the verge of collapse. Now he was actually begging to be discharged!

This was almost too good to be true…

“Poppy, i...

Chapter 204: Hagrid’s Self-Blame

When Hogwarts returned to normal the next day, Kyle went straight to the Hospital Wing.

Almost everyone was buzzing about the previous day’s events, with rumors flying in every direction.

“A Dark Wizard attacked Hogwarts…”

“The Death Eaters are making a comeback…”

“Magical Creatures are rebelling…”

“The bastard son that Dumbledore abandoned is seeking revenge…”

“The bastard son that Snape abandoned to seek justice…”

......

Chapter 418: Blood of the North

Jon led his forces into an arc-shaped formation atop the slope, a defensive line that resembled a white shield. With their weapons equipped with obsidian spearheads, they braced for the onslaught of wights surging uphill.

The obsidian spears were devastating against the undead. Each strike pierced through the chest of a wight, instantly collapsing it into a lifeless heap. Some of the skeletal wights were so fragile they scattered like dry straw when struck, their disjointed limbs tumbli...

Chapter 417: Ghost’s Blood

The Night King placed his Icebone Tower on the ice floes. Using the tower, he created colossal "ice boats" that transported tens of thousands of wights and White Walkers, encircling Ned's army.

Who would have imagined that the Icebone Tower could actually float on water? It was simply incredible.

"My lord, there are about 100,000 wights and White Walkers to our right rear!"

"Lord, 30,000 wights are appearing directly behind us..."

"Lord, behind our left flank..."

Chapter 416: The Night King’s Encirclement Strategy

“Here they come! Here they come!”

Grenn, stationed closest to the ruins of the Wall, readied himself. As the Night's Watch commander responsible for detonating the mines, he had the most perilous vantage point. The once-mighty black Wall had been reduced to scattered boulders and gravel. Dusted by the falling snow, the black rubble now appeared as if lightly frosted with sugar.

Grenn and his men were concealed among the debris, their dark cloaks blending with the ice and stone...

Chapter 203: Mars Is Very Bright

In the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore stood quietly amidst the ruins. His face was expressionless, a terrifying calm that seemed to chill the air.

"Dumbledore..." Snape approached him, speaking in a low tone. "The students have all returned to the castle. No one was hurt."

"Thank you, Severus," Dumbledore replied.

Snape's eyes flashed with frustration. "What on earth happened here?"

"Apparently, someone was trying to use Unicorn blood to extend their life..." Dumbledore ...

Chapter 202: The Dark Wizard in the Forbidden Forest

Professor Flitwick looked unusually serious, his tension so palpable that it seemed as if an out-of-control dragon might appear at any moment. Some older students approached him to ask what was happening, but he remained tight-lipped, urging everyone to return to the castle quickly.

As the students moved back toward the castle, whispers filled the air. Most speculated that the source of trouble had something to do with Professor Quirrell, the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Chapter 415: The Fall of the Wall

The Night's Watch had abandoned the Wall.

It had been less than two months since Viserys left the Wall, but staying there had become impossible. The relentless cold was unbearable, especially at night. More and more brothers of the Watch were dying in their sleep. To prevent them from turning into wights and attacking their comrades, guards had to stand watch even in the barracks while others rested. The situation was equally dire for those stationed at the lighthouses along the coast. ...

Chapter 414: An Esper Was Born

Malora, often called the old maid of House Hightower, was known for her obsession with magic. In one of her experiments, something went disastrously wrong, leaving her head inexplicably fused to a table. Faced with this bizarre predicament, House Hightower had no choice but to seek assistance from the royal family, offering three dragon eggs as payment.

The transaction set significant events in motion. Duncan, the son of Little Rose, received one dragon egg. Dany retained the remaining ...

Chapter 413: Hope Against the Icebone Towers

Viserys saw the ice and bone spear hurtling toward him, its form menacing in its sheer size—over ten meters long and as thick as an adult's thigh. He could already envision the gruesome scene if it struck him: his body skewered like meat on a barbecue spit.

Acting on instinct, Viserys reached out and grabbed the deadly spear mid-air. His grip stopped it from piercing him, but the force propelled him upward, suspending him in the sky. The weapon seemed almost alive, as if realizing it ...
