harry potter book of crimes

Based on John's fighting situation at this time, it is actually difficult to describe it as "difficult". Because compared to Brooks on the opposite side, his own strength is still enough to ensure that he always has the upper hand - even if the opponent is still standing behind him.

A dark wizard with rich dueling experience, used the influence of the Imperius Curse on Brooks to vaguely control the direction of this battle.

And perhaps it was precisely because he had seen through this that the Shtabe boy standing behind him did not pay too much attention to the brotherly duel in front of him.

Of course, this foreign boy was not unclear in his heart. If he could help John more, the stalemate at that moment would obviously be easily resolved.

But he couldn't, because he knew better that in the half-open room at the end of the corridor, there was an enemy who needed his full attention and could not be disrespected for a moment, watching covetously in the dark.

The animal nature originating from his bloodline was constantly releasing warning signs, making him unwilling to move his eyes away from the door of the room for even a second, so that when he just smashed the little snake to death for John, he just

Attack direction determined by peripheral vision.

The boy had a hunch in his heart that as long as his focus left the door, even for just a moment, the situation here would undergo unpredictable drastic changes. In fact, the Shitabe boy had always firmly remembered that he was now

This is the enemy's territory!

Fortunately, what the Shtabe tribe lacks most is patience... At this moment when the situation is still not clear, he can wait and wait for the other party to come out and "tell" him what to do next.

However, the premise is of course that John can win this battle that belongs to him by his own ability, or at least, the longer he can hold on, the better.

…

"boom!"

It can be said that John did not disappoint the foreign boy behind him.

The family's evaluation of him was correct. He may indeed be an outstanding wizard who can accurately seize opportunities in on-the-spot battles and give full play to his own strength. Even though he was still young at the time, he had great experience in the application of combat spells and

His own talent in spiritual and willpower has been faintly revealed.

Facing his younger brother, whom he had always loved very much in the past, but was now controlled by a dark wizard and attacking him, after the initial restraint and embarrassment passed, he already understood what he should do.

Even if it is for Brooks's good, he should no longer miss the opportunity with restraint, even if it is very likely to injure the opponent, he should go all out!

So, when he once again caught Brooks's habitual loophole in returning the stick to defend, John no longer hesitated like he had done several times before, but decisively thrust out the tip of the stick.

The time was short, and there was no room for him to accurately control the intensity of the spell, so John's spell suddenly became sharper. Only a crimson arc of magic light was seen across the distance that was no longer far away, and suddenly passed by like lightning.

The side of the wand that Brooks had just backhanded to cast the Iron Armor Curse landed hard on the center of the opponent's chest.

However, John still had reservations in the end, and he still chose a coma spell that was not very lethal.

Then, Brooks's not-so-tall figure flew out diagonally and hit the wall on one side of the corridor. After scraping against the wall and knocking down several paintings, it rolled and landed on the floor.

John did not relax, because he was not sure whether this stun spell could completely disable Brooks's combat effectiveness, making him unable to get up again and continue to fight back in a short period of time.

After a few seconds of silence, the boy from behind gave the answer he wanted most at the moment:

"He fainted temporarily, but he should be fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, before John could turn around, he found that the young man had already walked to his side, and then without stopping, he stood in front of him again as he had done at the beginning.

"But," the young man said without looking back, "it's best not to go there right now."

Because of the impact of John's coma spell just now, Brooks fell down not too far from the door of the room at the end. If you want to check his state at this time, you will undoubtedly put yourself in danger. John actually

He is also very aware of this, so even if the Shitabe boy doesn't say anything, he will not go there for the time being... Even if what he wants to do most now is to take the unconscious Brooks to his side, or even just hold him and leave this terrible place.

The ghost place.

Just when John was looking at the door at the other end of the corridor with a little upset, a hand suddenly stretched out from the inside of the door and placed it on the half-open door. Then, as

That old-looking hand opened the door a little, and the mysterious old man who had been hiding inside since the beginning finally walked out.

Not only that, but at the corner leading to the dungeon in the middle of the corridor, several figures also walked out, causing John's pupils to shrink and his eyelids to twitch suddenly.

Fortunately, the Shtabe boy in front of him remained as calm as ever, and just said in a calm tone:

"He's the same weird wizard again."

In the eyes of this alien boy, humans who can use magical power may be all the same, and the difference is only in strength and weakness, but in fact this is not the case. Only one of the adults is walking out of the corner right now.

He is a real wizard, and the others are just ordinary children who have been inspired by the power of Obscurus by malice, not even little wizards.

But no matter how you put it, the situation in front of you is obviously extremely bad.

"Two dark wizards and three Obscurials," John whispered, "What should we do?"

As soon as he asked this question, the young man in front of him immediately gave the answer:

"escape."

It is very obvious that although the Shtabe boy is very strong, he is not so strong that he can even face such a battle. In his current state, it is difficult to deal with even the three Obscura, let alone

Not to mention the mysterious abbot standing at the door looking calmly at the very back.

To be honest, even if they wanted to escape, neither of them had any plans. The boy would say this just to set an irreversible tone for the next course of action.

But soon, an old voice came from the other end, erasing the idea of ​​an unplanned retreat for the two of them.

"There's no need to run away," the old man smiled, and after looking at the Shitabe boy again, he looked at John calmly and said, "Is your name John Stewart? Boy, do it for me.

One thing, and actually I don't mind letting you leave safely...Yes, don't worry, don't be anxious, of course this can include your brother Brooks Stewart."
