Chapter 342 340 Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion-Tailed Beast

Chapter 342 340. Manticore

"It's true that I created that secret room, but so many years have passed in the castle, and the structure and facilities inside should have been renovated and renovated countless times."

In Dumbledore's principal's office, on the wall covered with portraits of previous principals, the old and monkey-like Slytherin whispered.

"But what I am sure of is that the location I gave the little girl at the beginning was not wrong. The entrance to the secret room I designed at the beginning was a circular trap door. Just speak in snake language to open it. Can get in successfully.”

Facing Slytherin's words, Dumbledore just waved his hand.

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

Hermione looked at Dumbledore firmly.

"So, should we continue to search? Professor."

In response, Dumbledore nodded and said.

"Of course, the more he hides, it means the more valuable the place we are looking for, but it also means that the risks you face will be much higher. Since he can change the location of the entrance to the secret room, it will also Make some different preparations in the back room.”

"I'll be paying close attention," Hermione said softly.

Dumbledore looked at it and smiled slightly.

"Of course I have never doubted your ability, Hermione, but I think another piece of information you got last night may be worth spending more time discussing. You said you saw a boy on the map. He Leaving the castle privately through a secret passage?"

Hermione didn't hesitate, she nodded.

"All petrified!"

The red beam of light streaked across the surrounding ignited woods and grass, leaving a trail of magic in the air!

Jon turned his upper body sharply again, avoiding Emil's spell. At the same time, he stepped forward and cast a spell to counterattack.

"Expelliarmus!"

Emile was also hiding, but his way of dodging attacks was nowhere near as easy as Jon's.

After the iron armor spell that had been maintained on his body was broken, he immediately added a layer of protection, but even so, he did not dare to take another spell from Jon easily.

The power of Jon's spell was astonishing. Even if his armor spell was shattered, he had no intention of stopping. The residual power of the spell almost knocked him to the ground.

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

But Jon had no intention of letting him go. He stepped forward again and cast spells at the same time, never stopping to put pressure on him.

"I have fought against many Death Eaters, including the uncle and aunt you looked down on you, but to be honest, compared to them, your method of casting spells is too crude, and you did not find the right time to use the spell. The speed is not fast enough, and even the technique of swinging 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 magic for three years more than me? ?”

"Collapse!"

Emil gritted his teeth and turned red, obviously reorganizing his counterattack against Jon under 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 gap in combat experience between wizards.

Jon's current ability to cast spells without using a ring is completely comparable to that of a professionally trained elite Auror. The gap between Emil and him cannot be made up by being hot-blooded or angry. Jon has been steadily treating him. Suppression was formed. If Emil didn't find a way to escape, it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated.

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

He was clinging to a large tree, surrounded by bushes lit by dragon's breath. The orange-red firelight reflected on his face, making his face look so pale.

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

If he kicked Emil out of this competition event at this time, it would be equivalent to the two participating warriors under Voldemort being wiped out, and no one would complete the first competition event and get a result.

Maybe this does not represent the final result of the game. Maybe they will arrange other comeback possibilities later, but did Voldemort really not expect that Jon would kill everyone in the Forbidden Forest?

Jon was very doubtful about this, but this doubt did not make him hold back. He waved the wand as always. This time in order to speed up the process of casting the spell, he even omitted the step of reciting the spell, although it was reduced. The intensity of the spell, but Emil now has no chance to resist.

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 its agility made Jon have no room to dodge even if he reacted. Two sharp claws and a tail with a hook activated the armor spell in front of Jon!

The light blue light suddenly lit up, and then it shattered with a bang. Such interference directly interrupted Jon's original spell. At the same time, the ferocious and huge creature smashed the armor spell with one pounce, and there was no intention to stop for a moment. It continued to press down, and the two claws closed on Jon's head, as if to directly scratch his head!

Jon was of course prepared for such an emergency. He aimed at the creature's empty abdomen and stretched out his wand without chanting a spell. The magic on the ring was directly activated!

The next moment, he flew directly into the air, and the creature that looked like a tiger and leopard pounced again and fell to the ground.

But taking advantage of this opportunity, Emil seized the time. While Jon was stuck, he turned around and crossed the sea of ​​fire around him.

Jon saw Emil's running back, but he didn't chase him immediately. Instead, he 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 - a human-headed lion-body manticore, a xxxxx-level black magic creature, with a reputation that is more dangerous and notorious than a bat, and more dangerous than a fire dragon.

The monster stared at Jon flying in the air with a pair of blue-gray eyes, and the scorpion tail that would kill on the spot if it was lightly touched in the legend was slowly shaking left and right.

The hideous and terrifying woman opened her mouth to Jon, revealing three rows of sharp teeth on the upper and lower sides.

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

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

The mouth on the human face was moving, but no human words came out. Instead, a sound similar to a mixture of a flute and a trumpet sounded.

Seeing that his question was not answered, Jon narrowed his eyes and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he clenched the magic wand with both hands and raised it high above his head in a strange way.

"The rules say that you cannot kill the contestants, but you are not in this range, right?"

The man-headed lion-body scorpion tail beast seemed to have sensed the coming of danger. Its hair, which was more fiery than that of a lion, was tense, and the scorpion tail that was shaking behind it suddenly swung!

In an instant, countless stingers pierced the air and shot towards Jon, who was holding the magic wand high in the air!

The strange swinging of Jon's staff did not stop there, but his body had already risen a distance following the floating spell when the poisonous sting was shot out. While dodging the attack of the monster, he also swung the magic wand down, holding the staff with both hands and then slashing it horizontally!

"God's Edge Without Shadow!"

"Buzz!"

The next second after Jon chanted the spell, a buzzing sound like steel trembling came out in the air around him!

A gust of wind blew over the flames, lifting the hem of Jon's robe. Following the wind, countless invisible things in the air swept across in an instant!

When Jon chanted the spell, the human-headed lion-body scorpion tail beast had already surged with extreme uneasiness. It roared, and its whole body leaped up from the ground, and at the same time swung its body horizontally, trying to swing its tail so that the poisonous sting on it could sting Jon's calf.

However, the next moment the wind blew, it burst into a painful roar!

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

The thick fur of the human-headed lion-body scorpion-tailed beast, which was even comparable to dragon skin in terms of magic resistance, also bloomed with countless blood marks. The hideous and terrifying woman's face was also cut dozens of times, and the scarlet blood instantly stained its whole body, and the magic remaining in those wounds continued to corrode it. Almost every second, the wounds on the monster's body would become more severe, and more blood would flow out!

Such a huge injury made it look at Jon with resentment, and then turned back decisively and got into the bushes beside it.

Jon looked at it trying to escape, and had no intention of chasing it. The human-headed lion-body scorpion-tailed beast was already determined to be dead, unless it could find a wizard who could help it remove the God's Edge Shadowless Spell.

If that was really the case, then things would become more straightforward.

After this enhanced version of the Divine Sword, Jon also consumed a lot of his own physical strength.

This is the method of casting that he learned from a forbidden book in the ring during the summer vacation. By holding the wand with both hands, the flux of magic power to the spell is increased, so that the spell itself can be extremely powerful.

It is very effective against area damage magic such as blasting spells and Divine Sword, but because of the high consumption and the long pre-casting time, it is not too practical in real one-on-one combat.

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

That is, the contestants cannot kill each other, otherwise Jon would not have to play this childish trick with Emil, and would have used the killing curse to force the man-headed lion-body manticore out.

The appearance of such a dark magic creature also confirmed Jon's guess. In the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort's own territory, he would definitely not be unprepared. Even Jon himself could get help from Hagrid's friends who stayed here before, and it was not surprising that other animals in the Forbidden Forest served Voldemort.

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

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

After putting it in his pocket, Jon was ready to deal with the business of the competition. There were only so many fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest. As long as Emil wanted to continue to improve his performance, they would meet again sooner or later.

Jon whistled, and soon Hoss appeared beside him with a silly look on his face.

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

The rules of this competition to seize the golden snitch from the fire dragon may take a lot of effort and brains for other participating warriors who have no flying ability, but for Jon, there is no big risk at all.

After all, he can fly, and he can also seize the magic power from alchemical items through the ring.

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

And the impact of those fire dragons on Jon can't pose much threat to him at all.

So from the 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 project. The only thing to consider is whether Voldemort himself will arrange something against him in the Forbidden Forest.

Because of this, John planned to find Emil first. If there is really an arrangement, it is likely to be on him.

Now that it has been confirmed that this arrangement is just a magical beast, John can let go.
