Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"What do you think we should do in a while? I just observed that the entrance to the entire dungeon is mainly divided into two parts: the main road and the ruins. There are three obvious roads on the left, middle and right, two small roads and a big road in the middle, and the rest are

We can choose a path through the ruins, or we can choose to move forward across those ruins."

Cedric, who was appointed as the team leader, behaved very democratically and took the initiative to seek opinions from everyone.

"Of course, we should just take the middle road and rush towards the target point!" George spoke first, "Did you notice the point of what the professor said? Those hostages are distributed in those high-rise buildings, and our main task is to rescue them.

People, we actually don’t need to pay attention to the monsters outside."

"That's right." Fred also agreed, "I think we should aim directly at the most central shopping mall. I can guarantee that the 'Princess' will definitely be there, she is the most valuable!"

Both twins grasped the key point. The score was based on the number of hostages they rescued, rather than how many monsters they defeated.

"Do you mean to move forward in a straight line with the goal of shopping malls? Isn't this a bit hasty?" Terrence asked with a frown.

"Then what else?" George was not dissatisfied with Terrence's rebuttal. Instead, he looked at Hermione, the youngest in the team, "What do you think? I think the straight line between two points is the shortest, and it is the right one."

The view of the road in the center is also the best, isn’t it?”

"If what you said makes sense." Hermione nodded without denying it, but still raised her own doubts, "But I always feel that the ruins created by the professor are not that simple, since there is a direct line in the middle to the end.

Why is there such a vast area next to the road?"

"Hermione is right!" Cedric nodded as well, "In this way, we are the fourth team and we are the last to start taking action. Let's take this opportunity to observe more and act accordingly when the time comes!"

Cedric's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone, but they did not realize that there was a guy next to them who could eavesdrop quietly.

"Hey, let's just take the middle road in a moment and aim for the deepest shopping mall. That must be where the princess is trapped!" Ron, who had finished eavesdropping from the fourth team, returned to his own room.

The team immediately said excitedly.

"How do you know?" Malfoy looked at Ron questioningly, "It seems that the professor didn't say where the hostages are, right?"

"Of course I have deduced this based on my wisdom. Such an important role as the princess must be placed in the largest building. Why are you so stupid?" Ron didn't mention the eavesdropping at all, but said confidently.

.

"What Ron said makes sense." Penelo, their leader, nodded, "And the main road has the best view. Since we don't know the inside information, this might be a good idea."

"Then let's do this!" shouted Susan next to her. "This is better than climbing over the ruins of unknown conditions."

After several people discussed the action plan, Anduin also spoke up, "Attention everyone, the operation starts now, the first team is ready to enter!"

"Yes, Professor!" Penello and others from the first team responded loudly, and then walked out of the tent.

Naturally, the others would not miss this good opportunity to collect information. They gathered outside the entrance of the ruins and watched the five people walk into the main road.

"Everyone draws out their magic wands and be careful!" Penello is quite qualified as a team leader, and he is not sloppy at all in his command.

Then the group of five people walked majestically on the main road in the middle, holding their wands and looking around carefully.

However, after they had advanced a distance of two to three hundred meters, it was still eerily quiet, with not even an enemy running out to get in the way.

"Isn't it a little too quiet?" Malfoy felt the uneven stone pavement under his feet and the silence around him, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

"Doesn't this mean that the route we chose is correct?" Ron seemed to be very sure of his decision, "The professor's so-called monsters may be staying in the surrounding ruins. Maybe we can only see the real ones after entering the shopping mall. Enemy!"

"It's better to be careful, I also feel something is not good!" Penello's perception is not weak, and she faintly sensed that there seemed to be some danger approaching quietly.

"boom!"

Just as a few people were chatting, a large hole suddenly exploded in the ground five meters in front of them, and then an extremely burly figure jumped out of it.

After the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone discovered that it was a giant skeleton more than five meters high, and at the same time, the opponent was holding a long-handled giant hammer in his hand.

"Ouch!!!"

As soon as it appeared, the giant skeleton waved the sledgehammer in its hand and roared towards several people.

"Conceal!" Penello shouted immediately after seeing the enemy that suddenly appeared, and at the same time shot a disarming spell.

However, after her spell hit the skeleton, it was like scratching an itch and had no effect at all.

Seeing this, the other little wizards didn't dare to delay. They all ran towards the rear for about ten steps and quickly looked for cover.

At the same time, Ron among them was even more shocked, because he had never seen this giant skeleton in Anduin's construction warehouse, and he didn't know if it was a new model or a hidden special construction.

The appearance of this giant skeleton was too sudden, and it was right in front of everyone as soon as it appeared, so some people were still chased by it.

The giant skeleton took two steps forward and caught Mandy Blog who was trying to escape. It picked up the heavy hammer and hit Mandy in the back like a golf ball, killing her with one blow. Beat it into a white light.

Mandy, who turned into light and disappeared, naturally triggered the transmission vest on her body. From this, we can also see how powerful this skeleton's attack is. Each of these attacks is an instant kill for everyone.

And just when several people were shocked by Mandy's 'sacrifice', a rustling sound suddenly sounded from the surrounding dilapidated houses.

When they looked up, they discovered that a row of skeleton archers had appeared on the second floor of those houses, and they were ready to shoot at everyone with their longbows drawn!

"We can't stay on the road, evacuate to the house quickly!" When Penello saw these archers, she immediately realized that they had been ambushed, and she couldn't control them so much now. After shouting, she turned to her left He rushed towards the broken house and hit the room with a flying swoop.

Susan next to Penello immediately took action when she saw this. Of course, she may have been frightened, and her current actions were just blind obedience to instinct.

Ron and Draco on the other side were also in despair. After hearing Penello's order, they didn't have time to think too much. They screamed and rushed towards a dilapidated house like headless flies.

At this time, the skeleton archers had already started shooting, and the overwhelming rain of arrows made the already dilapidated street look even more desolate.

Malfoy, who was running wildly against the rain of arrows, closely followed Ron in front. During this period, he felt a sudden pain in his neck. However, Malfoy didn't have time to think too much at this time. He only knew how to run wildly.

And after rushing into the room, they were not at ease. They kept climbing along the broken wall of the house, and they took a deep breath until they escaped a hundred or two hundred meters away and could not even hear the screams of the giant skeleton.

"Damn! What bad idea did you come up with? We were almost wiped out just now!" After seeing that we were temporarily safe, Draco immediately shouted angrily at Ron in displeasure.

"How do I know these ghosts will suddenly appear?" Ron looked a little embarrassed at this time, and then he suddenly looked at Malfoy with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Malfoy looked at Ron in confusion.

"You...your neck is bleeding!" Ron pointed nervously at the other person's neck.

When Draco heard this, he raised his hand and saw that his palm was covered with scarlet blood! This must have been from being accidentally shot by a bow and arrow before.

"Ah!!!" Draco, a pampered young man, had never seen blood before, let alone his own blood!

"Oh my God, help me, I'm bleeding, am I going to die?" Draco wailed loudly, helpless, and his face turned pale.

When Ron saw Draco's injury, he immediately came closer to help check it out. Then he rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "It's just a little scratch on the skin. Why are you so nervous?"

"Humph, it's not you who was injured. Of course it doesn't matter. I feel like I'm going to die now. I have to go to the school doctor's office! This practical exercise is not fun at all!" Draco shouted with a tearful face, how could he?

I didn't expect that this actual combat exercise was actually for real, and now it's bloody.

"Then you can leave! Just activate the emblem on the vest to teleport out." Ron glanced at the other party with disdain, "Coward! It's just a little bit of skin. You had the nerve to brag before coming in."

"Who is a coward?" After hearing Ron's taunt, Draco immediately aroused dissatisfaction, "But this is different from what was promised before. I am really hurt."

"Then just teleport out. Anyway, I'm going to find the princess. In the meantime, just wait and envy the legendary items in my hand!" Ron stood up as if he didn't care.

"You..." Malfoy was so irritated by Ron that he gritted his teeth and said, "On your own? I'm afraid the princess will die without being able to see anyone. Why don't you come over and help me bandage my wound!"

"Tch, that's so pretentious..." Ron curled his lips in displeasure, but still neatly tore off a piece of cloth from his robe and carefully wrapped it around Malfoy's neck.

While being bandaged, Malfoy couldn't help but mutter to Ron, "By the way, did you notice just now? Those skeletons that popped up..."

"Of course I noticed, the names and health bars appeared on the heads of those monsters." Ron nodded seriously, "I guess that is another use of our pair of glasses. It seems to help us identify those monsters.

"

"The first one to appear is called the 'Giant Skeleton'. Its health bar is incredibly long, while those of the 'Skeleton Archers' are much shorter. However, Penello's disarming spell seems to have no effect on them. If we

What should I do if I encounter a similar opponent again?" Malfoy muttered worriedly.

"For skeletons of normal size, the 'Crushing Curse' and 'Repulse Curse' are more effective. They are highly resistant to the 'Disarming Curse' and the 'Stun Curse'. Their weaknesses are that their bodies are relatively fragile and their hearing is poor.

.”

"I don't know much about the Giant Skeleton, but I imagine there won't be too many elite monsters like it. As long as we are careful, we still have a chance to avoid this kind of enemy." Ron recalled that he had been in Anduin.

The information he got when he helped test the construction was described very calmly.

"How do you know so clearly?" Malfoy looked at Ron with a suspicious look on his face. He didn't believe that the other party's wisdom could summarize this information in such a short time.

"None of your business?" Ron rolled his eyes at Malfoy, then slapped him hard on the back, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave."

"It hurts!" Malfoy glared at Ron complainingly, and then did not continue to ask about each other's little secrets. He just muttered with some worry, "Penello and Susan fled to the left of the road, and we are on the right now.

What should we do now? Should we go back and find them?"

"Would it be too dangerous to go back?" Ron hesitated, "We finally managed to get this far, and we don't know if those skeletons have followed us along the way. And you are confident that we can find Penello and the others.

?"

"This..." Malfoy was satisfied that what Ron said made sense, "Okay, then let's find a way to get closer to the shopping mall and see if we can meet them there."

After the two people discussed the countermeasures, they carefully walked through the ruins of the building. They did not dare to return to the main road now.

After groping for a while in the direction of the shopping mall, I happened to meet two skeleton soldiers who seemed to be patrolling.

"It's a skeleton swordsman and a skeleton spearman." Malfoy withdrew his head from the ruins to observe, "What should we do next? Should we avoid them? If these skeleton soldiers really have poor hearing as you said,

If so, it seems we can avoid conflict with them."

"I mean they have poor hearing, but that doesn't mean these skeletons are deaf?" Ron rolled his eyes, "What's the level of your Crushing Curse? Let's see if we can kill them all at once."

"I know level 2 crushing spells and binding spells. I haven't learned the repel spell yet, but I know level 3 dancing spells. Is it possible to use this kind of spell?" Malfoy deliberately lowered his voice after hearing Ron's words.

Low, for fear of disturbing the enemy.

"The two-level crushing spell should be enough, and the dancing spell is unnecessary. I don't want to see a skeleton doing a funny dance." Ron himself glanced over, "In this way, when they walk away from this broken wall,

Go over there, and then we two rush out for a sneak attack. I'll deal with the swordsman on the left, and you deal with the spearman. Be careful of the swordsman's shield, it can defend against many attacking spells."

"Okay!" At this critical moment, it was rare for Malfoy not to refute Ron.

Then the two of them lurked quietly behind the wall, waiting for the two patrolling skeletons to slowly pass by.

Then Malfoy gave Ron a signaling look, and the two of them rushed out of the broken wall in unison and cast spells in unison.

"Shattered into pieces!" "Shattered into pieces!"

The two crushing spells were generated almost at the same time, but the two skeletons did not react at all to such a sneak attack, and were knocked apart with two "bang" and "bang" sounds.

"Quickly, throw away all their bones, otherwise they will resurrect on the spot after a while!" Seeing that the blow was effective, Ron immediately shouted excitedly.

"I know, I really don't know where you got the information about these guys." Malfoy cursed and followed, and together with Ron, they threw the bones of the two skeleton soldiers around.

"Wait... look!" Malfoy suddenly stared after picking up a skeleton soldier's spear, and then shouted to Ron excitedly, "This... this weapon has properties!"

"Huh?" Ron leaned his head curiously upon hearing this, and then realized that what Malfoy said was true, and a row of words did flash above the spear.

【Bone Spear】

Attack power:7-12

Attack distance: 2.4 meters

Durability:19/20

Features: None

"Could it be that..." Ron's eyes lit up, "We can also use the equipment dropped by these monsters?"

"I think that's 80% true!" Malfoy excitedly stood the spear beside him, as if to declare its sovereignty, "Look at the skeleton you knocked down, its equipment may be useful too!"

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Ron immediately pulled out the skeleton swordsman's equipment, and then discovered that their attributes were indeed displayed in the glasses.

【Bone One-Handed Sword】

Attack power:5-10

Attack distance: 1 meter

Durability:18/20

Features: None

【Bone Shield】

"This shield can even resist curses!" Ron showed it to Malfoy excitedly, and then couldn't wait to wear it on his left arm.

"It seems that there are not only monsters and hostages in this copy, but there may also be other good things hidden in it!" Malfoy's sense of smell is very sensitive and he immediately concluded.

"Then what should we say next? Why don't we also search those shabby houses a little bit?" Ron heard what Malfoy meant.

"I think it's okay. Let's head towards the shopping center, but don't miss the opportunity to search along the way. When I passed a few broken houses before, I found boxes and cabinets and the like inside. At the time, I thought they were just decorations.

, I really regret it now when I think about it." Malfoy muttered angrily.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go. If you encounter a small group of enemies on the way, don't let go. I'll get you a shield first. This thing may save our lives!" Ron was also very excited at this time. They

The two of them were originally very obsessed with alchemy items, but now they found out that they could actually explode equipment by defeating monsters, and their eyes immediately turned red.

On the other side, the people watching from the outside of the ruins dungeon saw what happened to Ron and the others from a long distance away.

The giant skeleton suddenly appeared, and the skeleton archers were ambushing from all directions. Even if you were watching from a distance, this scene was still very shocking.

Mandy, who was instantly killed, turned into white light and appeared directly in front of everyone, while looking at everyone with a confused face.

"What's wrong with me? Where is this?" Mandy's eyes were blurred and she didn't even react yet.

"You seem, it seems... you were killed. Strictly speaking, you are a corpse now." George next to him saw that the other party seemed fine, and then said jokingly.

"How's it going, Mandy, you're not injured, are you? I think that big skeleton knocked you away!" Terry from the same school looked very nervous. He looked at her up and down when he came forward, trying to check the injuries on her body.

.

"No..." Mandy shook her head in confusion, "I felt like I was pushed away by something, and then I appeared here. I didn't even feel any pain."

"Well, it seems that the transmission vest is working normally." Anduin nodded with satisfaction, then took out the recording board and wrote something.

"What exactly happened at that time?" Hermione on the side was more concerned about the information in the ruins. They were too far apart, and there were many things they could not see clearly.

"I am also in a mess now. It was very normal at the beginning, but suddenly the giant skeleton rushed out. Penello asked us to hide, but my reaction was slow..." Mandy sighed with some self-blame.

.

"Did you notice anything before the attack? For example, special sounds, figures, or smells." Hermione asked very carefully, trying to find any pattern from the other party.

"No, I didn't notice anything." Mandy shook her head regretfully, and then looked at Anduin with some confusion, "Professor, does this mean I was eliminated?"

"You are performing the mission as a team. You are not eliminated until they are all eliminated. However, what George just said is correct. You are considered dead now."

After saying that, Anduin looked at the rest of the people and said, "Those who are killed in battle are not allowed to speak. If anyone comes back after being 'killed' in battle, please be careful not to exchange information with other people who have not yet entered."

"Yes, Professor!" Mandy was very obedient when she heard the words and closed her mouth directly, which made other people nearby who wanted to inquire a little less interested.

"It seems that the option of taking the main road is not feasible. There are probably traps set up along the main road. And according to what Mandy just said, the ambushing enemies were very well concealed and did not reveal any flaws." Hermione said anxiously to her teammates.

member said.

"Yeah, but this just means that the main road in the middle is unsafe, and I don't know if the two side roads are similar." Fred analyzed it in a rare serious manner.

"Next, pay attention. I just saw from a distance that Penello's team seemed to be scattered. Let's see if they will appear in the field of vision again. Maybe we can collect useful intelligence from their status."

Cedric warned carefully.

At this moment, Anduin next to him spoke again, "The second group is ready to enter!"

"Ah?" Wood, who was in charge of the second team, looked surprised. "Don't you wait until each team's mission is completed or all of them are killed before sending the next team?"

"Who told you this is the rule?" Anduin curled his lips, "What you think is too good. Do you think you can safely collect intelligence about the predecessors here and then act with confidence? Then the further back.

Wouldn’t your team take advantage of it?"
