The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 169: Wand, Broken Sword, Flame and Death (3 in 1)

What Anthony can see, the centaurs can naturally see too.

Looking at the endless swarm of spiders, the atmosphere among the centaurs around him dropped to freezing point. They were busy shooting sharp arrows, but were unable to save the battle. This kind of consuming torture was brewing madness.

"The Acromantula has never been so crazy."

Several centaurs with bows and arrows subconsciously complained, but Anthony's eyes lit up.

Yes!

Living things, especially intelligent creatures, have a natural fear of death.Although Acromantulas are dark, ferocious, and terrifying, you might think that they are brainless beasts. In fact, their IQs are not low.

It can definitely be called a commanding creature.

That's why it seems strange that they attack the centaur towns so crazily.

Um...

Unless - someone - a spider is directing them.

For a moment, Anthony thought that the damn old spider might not be dead.And, there's a good chance it's around here.

"The Ultimate Fluorescent Flash!"

After thinking of this, Anthony immediately realized something.He threw a dazzling light into the forest ahead.

The pale moon-like fluorescence illuminated the entire forest.

And that huge, elephant-sized spider had nowhere to hide, it was too obvious.

"Aragok!"

Anthony's eyes penetrated the dense tide of spiders, and he saw from a distance that in the woods over there, surrounded by countless spiders, was an old spider whose body was covered with charcoal.

Other spiders around Aragog also discovered Anthony. They moved their large claws excitedly and made a clicking sound.

That was the language of spiders, and it was through the shouts of his descendants that Aragog knew that the wizard who destroyed his lair was right in front of him.

In an instant, the Acromantula's attack became even more frenzied.

"We can't hold it anymore." Margaret hurriedly walked over from the other side of the city wall.

He said to the other centaurs who were defending: "Let the tribesmen evacuate first, and we will take the rear."

At this time, behind him, Bain, Ronan and other centaurs also gathered on the city wall.

Bain's expression was solemn, while Ronan's expression was indifferent, as if the person about to face the battle was not him.

Margery looked passionate and died to protect his people. This was a great honor.

"A centaur shouldn't be like this." On the side, Firenze also walked slowly over with a bow in hand, and sighed as he shot the arrow in his hand at the Acromantula below the city.

"What do you want to say? Firenze!" Margery scolded with glaring eyes. This might be the most glorious moment of his life, and he would never allow anyone to desecrate this moment.

"I mean, maybe we should seek help from human wizards." Firenze looked like he had lost his soul, as if he had just lost his faith.

His eyes fell on Anthony, his expression quite complicated.It was a look of loss that Anthony had never seen before!

"Human wizard?" Margery snorted and asked disdainfully: "Do you think those cunning and hypocritical humans will help us?"

"At least, the situation we face will not be worse." He sighed, as if the world had collapsed.

In the end, they had to seek help, and the Eight-Eyed Spider's disaster was worse than he imagined.

At this time, all pride was blown away by the wind, and everything else seemed insignificant compared to the continuation of the race.

Margery on the side was choked by Firenze's words.He blushed and wanted to retort, but found that he couldn't say anything. He stopped talking, and finally left only a long sigh.

"There is still a chance." This is, Anthony suddenly interjected.

"What opportunity?" Firenze asked first.

"The leader of the spider swarm is in the forest not far away. If we can kill him or coerce him, no matter what the means, it will be enough to resolve this crisis."

Anthony's words attracted the attention of many centaurs.They all looked at him hastily.

Margery looked down at him and asked, "How to kill it?"

They were already having a hard time dealing with the spider army.Every second I spend now is like walking into a grave.

"I can try!" Anthony groaned.

"You?" Margaret snorted heavily.As if he heard some big joke, he was still giving some good advice to Anthony...Is this just the result?

Destroying a tree and breaking through an 'army' of spiders are two completely different things.

"Are you sure? I must warn you, this is very dangerous." Firenze's attitude was completely different from Margery's. His platinum hair was brushed from his earlobes, and his blue eyes revealed a touch of expectation.

"Tonight's Mars is brighter than ever, isn't it?" Anthony suddenly pointed to the sky in a roundabout way.

"Yes, this heralds that the most terrifying disaster is coming." Bain, Ronan and other centaurs also raised their heads one after another and murmured.

Firenze even said in his sad voice: "Yes! The most terrifying disaster."

He understood what Anthony meant. The disaster of Mars heralded the most terrifying situation: the centaurs tribe would probably disappear in the long river of history.

Face this future.What choice do they have?

"Did you know? Our principal once said: It takes a lot of courage to deal with our enemies, but it takes even more courage to stand firm in front of our friends."

"There is also the fate in the dark. Professor Dumbledore warned us: life should not be determined by fate, but rather by our choices."

"So, trust me as much as you trust yourself!"

As he spoke, Anthony shook his hair coolly, and the emerald green light shone in the brown hair. For a moment, Firenze was a little distracted.

"Choice?" Unable to calm down his heart for a long time, Firenze could only stare at Anthony and muttered to himself.

-

"Hmph! Are you going to die?" Margery snorted coldly, looking at Anthony's thin figure, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't think Anthony could be of any use, he could do it in this situation. Those who stand up are all heroes.

Horse people worship heroes!

Besides, he's just a kid.

"If you can't speak, you can shut up!" Anthony was really angry. He could vaguely sense that the other party seemed to care about him intentionally, but you couldn't change your bad mouth.

Are you actually a tsundere?

After saying that, Anthony withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to the forest in the distance.

Sirocco in his arms seemed to realize something and jumped onto his shoulders.

"It's up to you this time." Anthony touched its little head and said softly.

"I'll start in a moment..." - The next moment his figure disappeared from the spot. ——"Just take me to the tree in the distance..."

Anthony standing on the tree trunk was blinded, and so were the spiders around him.A piece of walking meat fell from the sky!

"I haven't even started yet!" Anthony quickly took out his wand, the petrifying spell and the cutting spell, and frantically threw it at the Acromantula beside him.

"Meow?" - You said it!

I heard meow in both ears!

Sirocco shook his two little ears, looking like 'I heard it right'.

"That tree!" Looking at the spider 'army' that was gradually gathering, Anthony had no time to defend himself. While shooting down the attacking spiders, he pointed at another tree in the distance and shouted loudly.

The next moment, just as a giant spider had quietly climbed onto the leafy canopy, its giant spider legs had stepped on the ground, and was about to fly towards Anthony, he disappeared again. .

"That tree!" Anthony continued to say as soon as he settled down,

"That tree!"

"there!"

"On the stone!"

-

"You dare to say that you can't understand people? Sirocco!! You definitely did it on purpose at the beginning! Right!!!"

In the jungle, Anthony moved around.

Sirocco carried out all his orders perfectly.This made Anthony suspect more and more that this dead cat definitely wanted to laugh at him on purpose!

"Meow~" A hint of cunning flashed in the kitten's sky-blue eyes, and the next second it led Anthony away from the place again.

-

Disapparating quickly, feeling uncomfortable.

It's like suddenly squeezing a person into a tube. You can be squeezed hard from all directions, and you can't breathe at all. Your chest seems to be tightly squeezed by several iron hoops.The eyeballs were pushed back into the head, and the eardrums were pressed deep into the skull.

However, the 'pipes' through which magical animals travel are much thicker than those used by human wizards.

When traveling through, that fantastic space is the 'pipeline' of space.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the anti-Apparition spell does not work on magical animals that can move, such as Zuowu.

However, although time travel is comfortable, the scene will still cause dizziness in humans if the scene is too fast.

It's like staring at a jumping screen.

Finally, after the seventh transfer, Anthony still couldn't control himself and vomited out his dinner.

"Where are you hiding?" He wiped the stain at the corner of his mouth, panting and looking at the spider at his feet.

After Aragog discovered him, he hid in the darkness.

That old spider's IQ is not lower than that of ordinary humans, and is even more cunning. Of course, he will not just stand there stupidly, waiting for him to run over and kill it.

"We have to hurry up." Standing on the tree trunk, Anthony felt a little worried. His physical strength was limited. Even if Sirocco could apparate infinite times, he couldn't.

Although this is a bit inferior to cats, it is an indisputable fact.

When he ran out of energy, the only option was to run away with Ron.Don't call him heartless, there's only so much he can do.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Just as Anthony looked at the endless waves of spiders, he was helpless.

Suddenly, Sirocco on his shoulder noticed a clue.He called "meow" at him several times.

Hearing the sound, Anthony quickly looked towards the sight directed by Sirocco, and soon discovered a low-lying area in the distance. The number of spiders was limited and abnormal.

The other spiders were either busy attacking the city or catching themselves, but the pile of spiders over there stayed motionless.

Could it be that he is fishing?

hehe!It's impossible to think about it.

A sneer appeared on Anthony's face, and as he spoke, with the help of Sirocco, he appeared on the stone next to the low-lying area.

He tested it first, and used an exquisite cutting spell to cut open the layer of Acromantula above.

Ok?

Seeing the spiders who were unwilling to pounce on him even if their companions died, Anthony immediately understood that the old spider was definitely hiding here.

Now that he has found the location, of course what he has to do is to set another fire!

Different from just now, this time, Anthony used his full strength as soon as he took action.

With Shilok around, he didn't have to worry about the flames burning him.

"Fierce fire!" The sparks jumping in the air directly ignited the dead leaves on the ground, and the red flames roared out of his wand like a demon being released.

"Catch a prairie fire!" The fire spread quickly and spread instantly. In Anthony's emerald green pupils, it turned into a red dragon. The dragon roared and burned its surroundings.

"Hiss!" The spiders wailed pitifully.

The spiders in the low-lying areas did not survive even a second, and were instantly burned to charcoal by the flames.

The spider swarm that lost Aragog immediately fell into disintegration.Started to run away like crazy in the forest.

However, Anthony did not intend to simply let them go.

If you beat them, they will know it hurts. Only if their number is reduced by an order of magnitude, will these Acromantulas know how to position themselves and be afraid of themselves and the wizard.

Moreover, this is also a good thing with immeasurable merit for the forest.

Immediately, a trace of cruelty flashed in Anthony's emerald eyes, and the wand in his hand continued to spit out flames.The huge magic power in his body violently poured into the wand in his hand, and the fire dragon turned into a fierce fire, burning a large area of ​​land into scorched earth, but its momentum remained unabated, and it still spit out flames unscrupulously towards the surroundings.

"Crack!"

Just as Anthony was burning crazily all around, suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking in his ears.

His pupils contracted slightly, because the source of the sound was actually the wand in his hand!

The wand that breathed fire actually cracked slightly and opened a gap!

For a moment, he clearly felt that he could no longer control the wand.

-

This...

Anthony's mind immediately thought of the knowledge about wands.

My own wand, with a sycamore wood body and a unicorn tail hair core.

Um?Unicorn Tail Feather Wand Heart...

He immediately understood why. Unicorns were a symbol of purity, and it was difficult for wizards to use dark magic with a wand made of unicorn tail hair.If used forcefully, unicorn tail hair can easily become "melancholy" or even "die" (lose its function).

It was because he forcibly used the Fire Spell.

In the firelight, Anthony looked down at the wand in his hand, completely unaware that it was right next to where he was standing.

Standing under exposed stones.

Under the land, there was a slight commotion.Something is hiding down there.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the surface land trembled violently, and the next moment, a spider jumped out from the ground, its huge claws pointed directly at Anthony's neck.

"Ok?"

The looseness under his feet caused him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.Shilok also jumped off his shoulders.

But at this critical moment, his wand still failed to work.

"There are many obstacles!"

Unfortunately, this was indeed an excellent plan, but he could still cast spells without a wand.

The slowed down Acromantula seemed to suddenly drop from sixty frames to a few frames.This gave Anthony enough time.Not time to escape, of course, but enough time to kill him.

He fumbled and took out the broken sword from a thousand years ago from his backpack.

This might be the broken sword of the legendary Sword of the Chosen King, the Sword in the Stone.It has long lived up to its former glory.

At this moment, the broken sword covered with rust marks seemed to have no lethality at all.But it didn't matter. He picked up the broken sword and smashed it several times on the head of the spider that had sneaked up on him. He didn't use it as a sword at all.

Hmm--it's a handy piece of iron!It's really good to use as a blunt weapon!

"Hey, you're hiding here too!"

After kicking away the spider that was blocking the way, either unconscious or killed by him, Anthony was surprised to find that there was another one hiding in the ground under his feet.

Looking at its white compound eyes, Anthony was convinced that this was Aragog, the Spider King.

"Humanity!"

Aragog's voice was low and weak.It's like I'm using my last breath of energy every time I say a word.

"Looking at you, you won't live long! What a good plan. The spider in the low-lying area just now was a bait, right? If you deliberately expose this stone, you are sure that I will appear here." Anthony, holding the broken sword in his hand, sneered. He looked at Aragog hiding in the soil and said disdainfully: "You are really cruel, using your own child as bait."

"From today onwards, every Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest will be your enemy, human!" Aragog's tone was full of resentment.At the same time, there was a faint gasp.It seems as if he will take his last breath in the next moment.

"Haha... As long as you are weak enough, even threats are ridiculous."

The fierce fire dragon has lost control. It has formed a whirlwind of flames, roaring and spitting out the last flames.

There were no living creatures around at this time, and the next moment its target shifted to Anthony in the center of the flames.

"What a pity!" Anthony looked at the fire dragon attacking him in the distance, and then slowly picked up Sirocco from the ground.

"Looking forward to seeing you next time." As he said that, he chuckled and waved towards Aragog: "If you have a next time!"

The next moment, Anthony suddenly disappeared.

As he disappeared, Li Huo also let out a "boom" and exploded a large area of ​​land.

————On the city wall, the onlookers looked at the frightening flames in the distance, and all of them briefly lost their minds. Even they who were far away could feel the terrifying residual heat.They could not imagine how high the core temperature would be.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

While muttering about the pity, Anthony's figure suddenly appeared on the city wall.The young man who looked so immature looked like the god of death in the firelight at this moment.

Firenze didn't know what to say.

He looked at the sky, trying to see some of the future from the tracks of the stars.But what troubled him was that the forest fires shot up into the sky.It's actually brighter than the light of Mars!

----------------

Anthony declined Firenze's invitation to wait for the centaurs. It was already too late, and it would be daybreak in the delay.

Then, after saying goodbye to the centaurs one by one.

Sirocco took the two of them and apparated directly back to the castle.

After several hours of twists and turns, the adventure finally came to a happy ending.

Early the next morning, when the first-born sunlight shines into the bedroom.

It seems that nothing has changed, but everything has changed.

Harry noticed that Anthony and Ron came back late at night, but both of them gritted their teeth and said nothing.

Anthony couldn't pay attention to the morning class at all. All he could think about was Ms. Atropos in Hogsmeade and what she knew.

Just after class ended at noon, he ran non-stop, 'borrowed' the invisibility cloak from Harry again, and ran towards the foot of the mountain like the wind.

Familiar mountain roads, familiar towns, familiar houses.

Anthony pushed open the door eagerly, looked up and saw Atropos sitting on the sofa.

"Ah~ you're back." Atropos seemed surprised that Anthony could be so quick.

She smiled and said: "Escaped from the castle secretly again?"

"Asking knowingly." He walked to the living room and sat on the sofa, breathing heavily and saying with disgust.

As he spoke, he took out a large bottle of venom from his pocket and placed it on the table.

About a gallon ([-] liters)

Of course, Anthony will definitely not take out all the venom. These are probably only a very small part of the total amount they obtained yesterday.

Fortunately, this is a magical world. He used the shrinking spell and the floating spell to bring so much venom. Otherwise, even if he and Ron were exhausted, they would never be able to bring so much venom back to the castle.

"Ho! There are so many, not bad!" Atropos looked at the glass bottles on the table in surprise.Then he took out a small cloth bag from his robe and handed it to Anthony.

"What?" Anthony opened the cloth bag in his hand in confusion. In an instant, he was almost blinded by the bright light inside.

Galleons...a lot!

"Buying it at market price, the old man will not take advantage of a kid like you." Atropos said with a smile. "But remember, don't use it indiscriminately, otherwise I will test your professor on how he sneaked into the Forbidden Forest at night."

"Ahem! Of course, I promise not to spend frivolously." Anthony said coyly.

But deep down in my heart, I was complaining like crazy.

——What old man, why can’t I see it?Someone who looks younger than his granddaughter still talks about the old man every day.

Material determines consciousness. If a person's body is still young, her spirit will never grow old.

"Ahem, that Ms. Atropos, about what you saw..."

Anthony said cautiously.

"Okay, let's see how anxious you are." Atropos rolled his eyes at Anthony, and then took away the venom bottle placed on the table.He walked towards the basement and returned to the living room after a long time.

Then she walked into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of black tea.

Just before Anthony's eyelids were twitching wildly and he was about to explode, he gave him a crystal ball with a lazy smile.

"Take it back and see for yourself."

"Huh!" After getting what he wanted, Anthony didn't want to stay for a second, got up and walked out of the house.
