Although Voldemort was unwilling to admit it from the bottom of his heart, he was indeed at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Albert. The young guy in front of him was even more dangerous than Dumbledore made him feel back then.
If this continues, defeat will be inevitable sooner or later.
Voldemort didn't think he would lose anyway, because he could apparate and leave here at any time, and Albert Anderson couldn't stop him at all.
But Voldemort didn't want to do that, because it would be a shame for him to be forced to escape.
Just hold on a little longer!
Maybe, Snape will come back with other Death Eaters, and then he might be able to leave this annoying guy in front of him forever.
Voldemort didn't know that he was destined to be unable to wait for reinforcements.
Because after Yaxley received information about the headquarters from Snape, he directly rejected the idea of bringing people back to aid Voldemort, and instead chose to intercept the Auror coalition that did not exist from the beginning.
The reason is also very simple. They all believe that Voldemort will not lose, and they probably won't be able to catch the mudblood if they take people back.
Instead, he would fall into that guy's scheme and lose his best chance to stop the Auror coalition.
Since Voldemort will not lose, they should naturally focus on the Auror coalition that may pose a major threat to them, rather than allowing them to join forces with the Order of the Phoenix, otherwise they will pay a greater price.
This decision was recognized by the majority of Death Eaters.
In fact, even if the Death Eaters run back for reinforcements, they may not necessarily have an advantage.
After all, the level of Death Eaters is limited. Unless they launch a surprise attack, they are more likely to become cannon fodder in the war between the two sides.
This decision directly caused Voldemort to fall into the embarrassing situation of being beaten unilaterally.
Although Voldemort also knew that the death stick in his hand was holding him back because he had not yet obeyed him, the gap in magical power between the two sides still made Voldemort a little doubtful about life.
This made Voldemort even more eager to possess the power of the Death Rod.
He shouldn't have said that nonsense to Snape before, but should have directly killed Snape's power over the Death Rod.
Even if Albert Anderson took Felixir to strengthen himself, he would not be able to escape death when he wields the Death Stick.
Yes, this is the conclusion Voldemort finally came to.
To a certain extent, the guess was correct. Albert did take a small amount of Felixir to smooth the experience gap between the two parties.
Otherwise, even if Albert uses the power of the Elder Wand to surpass his opponent in magical power, Voldemort will not be trapped in a difficult battle.
The gap between the two sides is really not that big.
Voldemort, who escaped a fatal spell and turned into black mist, did not appear around Albert to launch a brazen counterattack, but chose to appear far away from Albert.
Not only to avoid being judged by Albert's foothold and being hit by the silent wandless magic again, but also because he was already considering whether to retreat directly.
After experiencing that stormy onslaught, Voldemort finally realized that something was wrong.
Albert Anderson was not here to kill him from the beginning, because they all knew that a powerful wizard with extraordinary power was difficult to kill head-on.
Perhaps forcing himself to retreat was the real reason why Albert Anderson appeared here.
That guy's target has never been himself, but the Death Eaters and dark wizards under his command.
This is also the main reason why Voldemort did not leave. If he left directly, it would probably trigger a chain reaction and cause everything he had now to be reduced to nothing.
The proof is that Snape is still alive.
If Albert really wanted to kill Snape, he would definitely not wait until now to do it. The guy even deliberately let Snape go during the battle just now.
In Voldemort's view, Snape's escape was entirely due to Albert's deliberate attempt to escape. His real purpose was probably to get the Death Eaters to return for reinforcements.
That's right.
This guy appeared here not only to hold him back, but probably to use the Auror coalition to severely injure his servants.
Voldemort didn't even need to look for evidence, and it wasn't the first time that this had happened to Albert.
Such a bold plan is undoubtedly the confidence that the Elixir of Fortune gave him.
The Auror coalition should also be happy to serve as this sharp blade. Not only can they take the opportunity to eliminate a large number of dark wizards around Voldemort, but they can also easily obtain this pair of enviable achievements.
Putting himself in his shoes, he had no reason to refuse.
The worst thing is that even if Voldemort has noticed Albert's conspiracy, it is already too late, because once Voldemort retreats rashly, the group of Death Eaters who turned back because of Snape's words will not know how long they can survive.
?
Voldemort didn't care much about the casualties suffered by his subordinates, and he definitely didn't want to be left alone.
Of course, Albert was not very clear about Voldemort's rich inner changes, but he also noticed the other party's hesitation from the high-intensity confrontation with Voldemort. Both sides tacitly slowed down their offensive at hand and chose to delay their own.
opponent.
After all, he didn't come here just to fight Voldemort, and even if he fought hard, he might not be able to kill Voldemort.
Although he didn't know what that guy was thinking, Albert didn't think Voldemort could guess the truth because he released a lot of smoke bombs to confuse others.
No matter how smart Voldemort's mind is, no matter how powerful his Legilimency is, he probably won't be able to clear his mind in a short time.
"You can't kill me, not Dumbledore, and neither can you."
Voldemort calmed down completely. He knew very well that he had to get through the current difficulties before he could have a chance to kill Snape and completely conquer the death stick in his hand.
"How do you know I can't kill you?"
Albert waved his wand in the direction of Voldemort, and countless rubbles beneath his feet covered the area where Voldemort was like sharp arrows, leaving him with almost nowhere to hide.
Of course Voldemort can easily block it by erecting a magic barrier, but in this confrontation between extraordinary wizards, the party that gives up attacking and passively defending can easily become the target of the other party.
That means that Albert Anderson's next spell is likely to directly penetrate the protective magic and cause him trouble.
Voldemort naturally couldn't be stupid. He concentrated the magic power in his body on the wand in his hand, and suddenly waved it over his head, blasting the gravel shooting from all directions into dust in one breath.
Dust fell all over the sky, making Albert's golden spell fail.
Voldemort took the opportunity to turn the dust into a ferocious face, and rushed straight towards Albert, completely enveloping him in the wind and sand, temporarily blocking his sight and diverting Albert's attention.
The next moment, a ray of green light penetrated the dust in the sky, printing Albert's eyes a forest green.
