In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 342

  Chapter 342 340. Sphinx Manticore

   "It's true that I created the secret room by myself, but the castle has passed for so many years, and the structure and facilities inside should have undergone countless renovations and rectifications."

  Dumbledore's headmaster's room, on the wall covered with portraits of previous headmasters, the old monkey-like Slytherin whispered.

"However, I am sure that the location I reported to this little girl at the beginning is not wrong. The entrance to the secret room I designed at the beginning is a circular trapdoor. As long as you open it in snake language, I can get in successfully."

   Facing Slytherin, Dumbledore just waved his hand.

"I never suspected that there was a problem with the information you provided, Salazar. There are many possibilities that Hermione didn't find the entrance. Besides, he already knew that you joined us, so he would naturally guess that you could provide us with the According to the exact method and location of entering the secret room, according to the vigilance he has shown over the years, if the secret room really entrusted him with something, then he will definitely make some changes."

  Hermione looked at Dumbledore firmly.

   "So, shall we continue to search, Professor."

   In response, Dumbledore nodded and said.

"Of course, the more he hides, the more valuable the place we are looking for is, but it also means that the risk you personally face will be much higher. Since he can change the position of the entrance to the secret room, it will also increase the value of the place we are looking for. Prepare something different in the Chamber of Secrets."

   "I'll be very careful," Hermione said softly.

  Dumbledore looked at and smiled slightly.

"Of course I never questioned your ability, Hermione, but I think another piece of information you got last night may be worth our time to discuss. You said you saw a boy on the map, he Leaving the castle privately through a secret passage?"

  Hermione nodded without hesitation.

   "All petrified!"

  The red beam of light streaked across the ignited woods and grasslands, leaving a stream of magic power in the air!

  Jon turned his upper body suddenly again, avoiding Emil's spell, while stepping forward, he cast a spell to fight back.

   "Disarm you!"

   Emile is also dodging, but the way he dodges the attack is far less relaxed than Jon.

  After the Iron Armor Curse that had been maintained on his body was broken, he put on another layer of protection immediately, but even so, he didn't dare to take another spell from Jon easily.

  The power of Jon's spell was astonishing. Even if his iron armor curse was smashed, he didn't want to stop at all. The aftermath of the spell almost knocked him down to the ground.

   An ugly donkey rolled on the ground full of plant ash. Although the process was very embarrassing, it allowed Emil to avoid Jon's spell and at the same time opened the distance between him and him.

  But Jon didn't have the slightest intention to let him go. He stepped forward again and cast a spell at the same time, and his mouth never stopped to put pressure on him.

"I have fought many Death Eaters, including the uncle and aunt you look down on, but to be honest, compared with them, your method of casting spells is too rough, and the timing of casting spells is wrong. The speed is not fast enough, and even the way you swing the staff is not decisive. So there is not even a single spell of yours that makes me feel the pressure to defend. Is this what you have learned from magic for three years more than me? ?”

   "Swoon!"

  Emil gritted his teeth, his face flushed, obviously reorganizing a counterattack against Jon under the great humiliation.

  However, his counterattack still failed to achieve any effect. Not only was there a gap in spells and magic power between the two, but there was also a huge difference in combat experience between wizards.

With Jon's current level of casting spells without using the ring, it is completely comparable to the professionally trained elite Auror. The gap between Emil and him cannot be made up by blood or anger. Jon has already treated him steadily. Suppression was formed, and if Amir didn't think of a way to escape, it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.

  Finally, Emil couldn't stand it anymore, and under Jon's another disarming spell, he finally hid in an unavoidable place.

  He was close to a large tree, surrounded by bushes ignited by the dragon's breath, the orange-red fire reflected on his face, making his face look so pale.

  But the more it got to this time, the more vigilant Jon was.

  If he kicked Emil out of this event at this time, it would mean that Voldemort's two participating warriors were wiped out, and none of them completed the first event to get a result.

  Perhaps this does not represent the final result of the match, and they may have arranged other possible comebacks later on, but did Voldemort really not expect that Jon would kill all directions in the Forbidden Forest?

Jon was very skeptical about this, but this skepticism didn't stop him. He waved his wand as usual. The strength of the spell, but Emil has no chance to resist now.

  However, before the tip of his wand lit up with the red light of the spell, a huge figure suddenly rushed out from a hidden corner and rushed towards Jon!

   Its speed was extremely fast, and it was so nimble that Jon had no room to dodge even if he reacted. Two sharp claws and a barbed tail activated the Iron Armor Curse in front of Jon!

The light blue light suddenly lit up, and then shattered suddenly. This kind of interference directly interrupted Jon's original spellcasting. At the same time, after the fierce and huge creature smashed the Iron Armor Curse, it didn't stay for a moment at all. Meaning, continue to press down, the two claws close to Jon's head, as if to scratch his head directly!

  Jon was of course prepared for such an unexpected situation. He aimed at the creature and stretched out his abdomen. When he was not holding the wand, he did not chant a spell, and the magic on the ring was activated directly like this!

  The next moment, he flew directly into the air, and the creature with the size of a tiger and leopard just like that clawed into the air again and landed on the ground.

   But taking advantage of this effort, Emil seized the time. Taking advantage of the emptiness where Jon was stuck, he turned around and passed through the sea of ​​flames around him.

  Jon saw the running back of Emil, but he didn't chase after it immediately, but set his sights on the animal that suddenly rushed out to disrupt the situation.

   This is a monster with a human head, a lion's body, and a scorpion tail.

Its name is as straightforward as its appearance—the manticore, a xxxxx-class dark magic creature with a reputation of being more dangerous and notorious than Voldebat, and more feared than Charmander of danger.

  The monster stared at Jon flying in mid-air with a pair of blue-gray eyes, and the scorpion tail, which was said to kill on the spot with a light touch, slowly swayed from side to side.

  The hideous woman's face opened its mouth to Jon, revealing three rows of sharp teeth on the top and bottom.

   "Is your mission to protect him, or kill me?"

  Jon was not frightened by its terrifying appearance, but looked at the monster and said indifferently.

  The mouth on that human face was squirming, but no words came out, but a sound like a mixture of flute and trumpet sounded.

Seeing that there was no response to his question, Jon narrowed his eyes and didn't ask any questions. Instead, he held the wand tightly with both hands, and swung the wand with both hands together in a strange way. He raised it high above his head.

   "The rules say you can't kill the contestants, but you don't fall into that category, do you?"

  The Manticore seems to have sensed the approaching danger. Its fur, which is more fiery red than that of a lion, is taut, and the scorpion tail that is constantly shaking behind it suddenly swings!

  In an instant, countless poisonous thorns pierced the air and shot towards Jon, who was floating in mid-air with his wand raised high!

The weird swinging movement of Jon's staff didn't stop there, but his body also followed the levitating spell and immediately rose a certain distance when the venomous stinger was shot out. While avoiding the monster's attack , he also swung his wand down, holding the wand with both hands, leaning down and then swinging it horizontally!

   "Shenfeng Wuying!"

   "Om!"

   The second after Jon uttered the spell, there was a buzzing sound like trembling steel in the surrounding air!

  A gust of wind blew through the flames, lifting the hem of Jon's robe. Along with the wind, countless invisible things in the air swept past in an instant!

While Jon was chanting the mantra, the manticore was already feeling extremely uneasy. It roared, and its whole body jumped up from the ground. At the same time, it swayed sideways, trying to shake its tail In this way, the poisonous needle on it can sting Jon's calf.

  However, the next moment the wind blew, it let out a painful roar!

  The ground, trees, blades of grass, stones, and even the burning dragon flames were all split in half by an invisible sharp blade at this moment!

  The manticore's thick fur, which was even comparable to dragon skin in terms of magic resistance, also had countless bloodstains. Dozens of cuts were cut open on that hideous woman's face, and the scarlet blood stained its whole body in an instant, and the magic remaining in those wounds continued to deepen and corrode, almost every day. After a second, the wound on this monster's body will get worse, and the bleeding will be even more!

  Such a huge injury made it look at Jon resentfully, then turned around decisively and got into the bushes beside him.

Jon saw that it was about to run away, and had no intention of chasing it at all. This manticore was sure that it would not survive, unless it could find someone who could help it break the magic spell of Shenfeng Wuying. wizard.

  If that's the case, then things will become more straightforward.

   After this enhanced version of the God's Edge disappeared, Jon's own physical strength was also exhausted.

   This is the spellcasting method he learned from a forbidden book in the ring during the summer vacation. Holding the wand with both hands increases the flux of magic power to the spell, so that the spell itself can be extremely powerfully blessed.

It is very effective against areof-effect magic such as Blasting Spell and Shadowless God, but because of the high consumption and the long time before casting the spell, it is not too much in real one-on-one combat. practical.

   But it is much easier to deal with magical animals with extremely high defenses like this, especially when Jon has the air supremacy.

   That is, the contestants cannot kill each other, otherwise Jon would not have to play this kind of child's play house with Emil, and just use the death curse to force the manticore out.

The appearance of such a black magic creature can be regarded as confirming the guess in Jon's heart. In the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort's own territory, he must not be unprepared at all. Even Jon himself can use Hagrid's previous Friends who stay here get help, and it's not surprising that other animals in the Forbidden Forest serve Voldemort.

  At least the current situation let Jon know that Voldemort still pays attention to the result of this match, otherwise how could he care about the life and death of Emil and Draco with his personality?

   While thinking, Jon picked up a golden snitch from the ground that had been destroyed by the dragon's breath, and had trembling metal wings but could no longer fly. This was what Emil left behind.

Putting it in his pocket, Jon was ready to start dealing with the business of the game. Anyway, there were only so many fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest. As long as Emil wanted to continue to improve his performance, they would come back sooner or later. bumped into.

  Jon blew a whistle, and soon Hoss appeared beside him with a naive face.

   "Let's go, starting with the first Norwegian Ridgeback we marked this morning, one by one."

  The rules of the game to capture the Golden Snitch from the fire dragon may take a lot of effort and brainpower for other participating warriors who have no flying ability, but for Jon, there is no big risk at all.

   After all, he can fly himself, and he can also use the ring to capture the magic power in alchemy items.

  As long as he flies up, gets close to those golden snitches, and then uses the second gemstone in the ring to absorb the magic power of those golden snitches, he can catch these things very easily.

   And the influence of those fire dragons on Jon, there is no way to pose much threat to him.

  So from the very beginning, after learning the rules of the first event, Jon didn't worry much. As long as the competition is normal, it is easy to get a high score in this event. The only thing that needs to be considered is whether Voldemort himself will arrange any arrangements against him in the Forbidden Forest.

  Because of this, Jon plans to find Emil first. If there is really an arrangement, it will most likely be on him.

   Now that it has been determined that this arrangement is just a magical animal, Jon can let go.
