Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

Even Helena beside her didn't notice that a drop of water the size of a mung bean was floating in front of Xifa's eyes.

On the way back, the two of them were silent, except for the sound of their feet crunching on the dead branches and leaves.

Through the gaps in the trees, the two of them could already see the sparkling black lake.

Just when the two were about to step out of the forbidden forest.

Xifa slammed down Helena's head without any struggle.

Accompanied by Helena's exclamation.

A thin, flat ax whirled past the two men's backs with a whistling sound.

With strong force, the ax floated several times in the black lake before sinking unwillingly to the bottom of the lake.

"What?"

Helena was a little confused. She didn't know whether it was because Xifa's actions were too rough, or because she was frightened by the life-and-death crisis.

"As expected..."

After being vigilant all the way, I usually relax after walking out of the woods.

Xifa did not warn Helena in advance, not only because he was worried that her acting skills would not be up to par, but also because there was no means of confidential communication between them.

Turning around, before Xifa could take a closer look, another ax flew towards him.

"Armor for protection!" The Auror-level iron armor curse appeared in front of him along with Xifa's spell.

However, there was a black airflow on the flying ax.

The armor spell that can withstand tank shells is like butter cut by a hot knife, without causing any hindrance to the flying axe.

Fortunately, Xifa was cautious and did not completely trust the Iron Armor Curse.

He rolled over with Helena in his arms and fell into a pile of dead leaves on the roadside.

"Is that the corpse?!"

Helena struggled to get up and exclaimed to Xifa.

Xifa nodded with an ugly expression. After all, there was no second awakening and his body had not been systematically trained.

The girl fell down with this cushion, and she really couldn't breathe.

"Yes..."

It seemed that the two axes thrown had consumed most of the power of the greasy corpse.

When Xifa and the two struggled to get up, he just stared at the two of them with his bloodshot and swollen red eyes without making any further movements.

Xifa just proved that his ordinary magic has no effect on these dark creatures.

Helena gritted her teeth and decided to use the power of her spiritually activated Pen of Acceptance to release the spell.

However, as soon as she raised her hand a little, her wrist was quickly grabbed by Xifa's hand.

After struggling slightly for a few times, Xifa's attitude was determined.

She was very moved in her heart, but she pretended to be dissatisfied and complained verbally.

"What do we do now?"

Helena's meaning is very clear. If Xifa doesn't have a good way to deal with the corpse in front of you or escape from his pursuit.

Then it is an essential choice to pay some irreparable price yourself!

"Wait a minute...let me try again."

Xifa still insisted on letting Helena wait before taking action.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, pay early and end early, take advantage of opportunities quickly, and change late.

This is just the beginning, the darkness was almost exhausted that night, and now it is the weakest time!

Don't take this opportunity to study the weaknesses of these dark creatures.

When the time comes, even if Helena fills everything in, she may not be able to stop its erosion!

"Crackling explosion! Falling apart! Flames are blazing! Transform quickly!..."

Xifa's wand emits beams of blazing magic light.

After each spell was fired, the staff trembled slightly and let out an inaudible groan.

Obviously, every magic spell is the limit of the magic wand, not the limit of Western magic!

But even though it was expected, Xifa couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw the result of the curse.

All the magic rippled on the surface of the corpse without causing the slightest effect.

Except for transfiguration.

Four thick tree branches tightly bound the body into a cocoon shape.

However, with the sizzling sound, it is estimated that it will not take long for the corpse to break free and continue to pursue the two.

Could it be that I couldn't get rid of this trouble completely without relying on Helena?

The tree strips on the body were removed, the limbs of the body were bound, and the body was hung in the air in a large shape.

Xifa once again used the explosive spell to test the weakness of the corpse.

Under the armpit! It’s actually here!

All spells will cause ripples on the surface of the corpse.

Except for the right armpit of the corpse, there are no longer ripples here, but a twisting trickle like a whirlpool.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

Xifa decisively cast the Patronus Charm, and a beam of silver-white light fell straight on this weak point.

The ferocious corpse no longer roared with hunger and thirst, but instead screamed in agony.

Success!

Xifa noticed that the hazy light film covering the corpse was broken!

He decisively fired the splitting curse!

Bang——

"Armor protection!"

Fortunately, the iron armor spell was cast quickly, otherwise he and Helena would have been showered with corpses!

but...

When everything settled, Helena found that the corners of Xifa's serious mouth turned up slightly.

Facing the girl's inquiry, Xifa explained with a smile.

"Even if he is a god! As long as he dares to measure his health bar, I will try to kill him!"

Helena's domineering speech made little stars appear in Helena's eyes. Seeing this, Xifa quickly changed the subject.

This damn chuunibyou, my body at my age can actually affect my sanity!

"Hey! Xifa, the road is this way!"

When Helena saw Xifa walking towards another trail without looking back, she looked at the surrounding environment to make sure that she had made a correct judgment, and hurriedly shouted.

"You're right! Helena, we can't go back if we take the original path."

Seeing Helena's puzzled look, Xifa sighed and pulled her forward dozens of steps.

The vision suddenly opened up, and the two of them walked out of the densely planted forbidden forest without any hindrance.

I saw Hogwarts Castle standing in front of me like a creeping beast.

but!

There is no way back to Hogwarts from the Forbidden Forest...

A thin circle of mist separated the Forbidden Forest from Hogwarts.

Helena stretched out her wand, and the tip of the wand emitted a light blue hemispherical light wave that spread forward rapidly.

After a long time, the broken light shield returned and gathered at the tip of her staff.

After some analysis, Helena told Xifa that the mist was full of twisted space cracks, which could cause splitting if not careful.

"You are right, we should return to the Forbidden Forest..."

After walking for a while, Helena still couldn't hold back the silence. On the path of the Forbidden Forest where you could hear the drop of a needle, she took the lead to break the silence softly.

"Xifa...do you know what we are doing?"

"Of course, we are playing a game with the devil!"

Xifa didn't hesitate at all and answered simply.

"What? Are you worried that I won't be able to withstand temptation?"

Helena did not answer directly, but remained silent, which was no different from admitting!

"Helena, when I used magic to lift the desk for the first time, I realized that I had entered an extraordinary world!"

"I once swore an oath to God with high spirits!"

"As long as there is a trace of extraordinary power under my control, I will use it to pry the shackles of the material world and fight for my way in the world!"

"However, there was an old man who didn't follow martial ethics and bound me with fetters, making me act before and after..."

"Now it seems that something is beyond his expectation. He has to take action to cut off the restraints on me!"

Hearing this, Helena vaguely understood Xifa's mentality that was about to change.

She took a breath and asked in a sharp voice.

"You want to gain power by any means necessary?! Even if you sacrifice all your family and friends?!"

"Of course! If a cultivator wants to make rapid progress, there are no more than two paths, the compassionate path and the ruthless path! But don't worry, when I stand on the long river of time, I will fish you out and let you see the new world!

"

Xifa promised confidently, Helena looked at him blankly, and after a long time, she burst out laughing.

"After doing this for a long time, you are trying to comfort me and change the subject! I don't believe you will sacrifice innocent people to gain a rapid increase in strength. I believe you! Let's play games with it!"

Xifa nodded, turned his back to Helena, and murmured a few words inaudibly while leading the way.

"When I feel that this world is wrong, sacrificing innocent people...that's hard to say...at the worst, I'll just open up the world again!"
