"Bang--"

With a roar, the hatch leading to the deck suddenly broke into pieces and shot open, causing Flitwick and others nearby to look over there in surprise.

However, what they saw was a tall figure covered by a cloak, walking out of the hatch.

Who is that person? Why did he come out of the cabin? At least...no one here seems to remember that such a person exists on the Change!

"who?"

When Sprout subconsciously asked, Flitwick pulled out his hand slightly and decisively cast a spell straight into the opponent's chest - the Transformation was currently experiencing a catastrophe and could not afford any more.

There is one more enemy. No matter who the opponent is, it is only right to strike first and gain the upper hand.

But in the next second, everyone around them only saw that the moment Flitwick's magic light hit the opponent's chest, it was as if it hit an indestructible wall and was bounced away!

But what shocked everyone even more was that just as Flitwick hurriedly prepared his defenses, the tall and muscular mysterious figure seemed not to pay attention to the attack just now. The opponent did not even turn around to approach Flitwick.

I took one more look here, and as soon as I got out of the hatch, I immediately turned around and took a step towards the bow of the ship.

Different from the roughness when he broke open the hatch just now, this step was taken silently. But in the blink of an eye, the other party suddenly burst out under the gaze and vigilance of the professors, and rushed into the front at an incredible speed.

Disappeared in the mist.

A few seconds later, Flitwick and the others saw another person running out of the cabin door - it was McGonagall, and she finally came out of the cabin.

"Minerva?" When Sprout saw it, he quickly grabbed the vine and took two steps forward, "Minerva, that person just now... did you see it?"

"Well," Mag nodded immediately after hearing this, "I just came out after that person. But don't ask me, I don't know anything yet."

But just as the two were talking, everyone heard a sudden chaotic roar from the direction of the bow of the ship, and the deck beneath them shook and shook again.

…

"...I can leave you annoying guys and leave here at any time!"

When Snape said these words, it was also the time when the shadow octopus raised another tentacle and swung it down suddenly.

Although no one knows yet what the shadow that makes up its body is, and why it looks as incorporeal as a ghost, yet it is so powerful and destructive.

But obviously, anyone with eyes knows that its blow is not something that ordinary people can withstand! Perhaps even the giant monster will be beaten to pulp in minutes by the opponent's thick tentacles.

While hurriedly waving his wand and pushing Enns and Alexander back, Snape himself also quickly moved back.

"Boom!"

The shadow tentacle fell heavily in front of the eyes without any surprise, and sawdust flew everywhere again, leaving a long dent on the bow deck.

To be honest, if Snape had been slower just now, he might have become part of the depression by now.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have followed Tia's lead. If I had taken her directly to the refuge community provided by the Blois family in France, we wouldn't have so many troubles now!"

Snape's heart has always been filled with contradictions. In the past, it was because of his love for Lily, but now... well, in fact, even he himself can't figure it out.

Maybe it’s because of Tia, the only remaining relative? Or maybe it’s because of Maka, one of the few students who can gain his approval?

I don’t know, maybe it’s just because I once promised Maka, but now I don’t want to break it! Even if it sounds like an excuse, Snape relied on this reason to subconsciously stand on the bow of the ship, standing more than anyone else.

Get closer to the location of this monster on the bow of the ship.

"Bang! Crack-"

Suddenly, a potion bottle flew out of Snape's hand and exploded on the deck in front. Then, a large dazzling blue flame spread towards the shadow octopus in an instant.

The number of Lihuo bottles that still exist today is very small, and only people who have a good relationship with Maca will have one or two bottles on hand. For ordinary wizards, this thing is actually not very useful, because one

If you are not careful, you may even hurt yourself.

But in the hands of those who know how to use it, its magic-fueled properties can often produce miraculous effects in emergencies.

"Chi——"

As expected, the unknown shadow tentacles couldn't shake off the blue flames after they were stained by them. They immediately burned along the surface and spread all over the body at an astonishing speed.

It's a pity that an enhanced version of the Lihuo Bottle has not been produced for a long time. The magic power it can consume when burning is still too little, and it is obviously not enough to "lose weight" for this big octopus.

Fortunately, the blue flames that gradually spread throughout the body seemed to affect the other party's judgment, so that he no longer had time to take care of Snape and the three of them. The already very urgent situation finally had a chance to ease.

"Walk!"

After Snape reminded him before, Enns had already turned around and ran back, but Alexander was still hesitating. Now that he saw that he was still behind him, Snape immediately grabbed him and pulled him

His clothes also ran towards the middle of the boat.

"Boom!"

The behemoth was still making a fuss behind it, as if it was trying to extinguish the blue flames on its body. As the shadow tentacles danced wildly, loud noises hitting the deck were heard one after another.

The Transformation began to shake again, as if it would completely fall apart at any time.

But at this moment, Snape suddenly glanced upward from the corner of his eye. In the thick fog, there was a vague figure rushing towards the bow of the ship like lightning.

After he vaguely noticed this, he couldn't help but pause slightly. But soon, the instinct to stay away from danger immediately eliminated the doubts in his mind, and instead he ran towards the hatch at a faster speed.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was another shock on the deck, and then the scream that had happened twice before sounded again in everyone's minds.

But this time, the sound suddenly stopped inexplicably right after, leaving people unable to even recover.

Then, with a roar of "Plop", the deck that was tilted forward gradually began to return to normal!

"What?"

Snape immediately turned around hastily. Although due to the mist, he could no longer see the bow of the ship from this distance. But he knew that the huge shadow octopus should have left the Change, otherwise it would have been so

How could the hull of the ship, which was pressed down by the big monster, return to level?

But, what happened just now? Who is that figure...?
