Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"It seems that Percy is planning to pick up something ready-made..." George, who was watching, curled his lips and smiled.

"If it were me, I would do the same." Hermione nodded in approval, "The enemies on the left road have already been cleared by the second team, and we can quickly catch up with the progress along this safe route.

, and there are still some leftover equipment on the road that can be picked up for free.”

"But this is too tasteless, but this is something our prefect can do, Percy, who is very calculating." Fred shrugged noncommittally.

"But by doing this, they may waste precious development opportunities." Cedric lowered his head thoughtfully, "The actual combat simulation arranged by the professor may not be as simple as they imagined."

"Development?" Hermione was shocked when she heard this, "Cedric, did you discover something?"

"Yeah!" Cedric nodded, "Didn't you notice? The strength of the monsters in these ruins is obviously abnormal. Forget about the ordinary skeletons, but those special skeletons are not something that a first grader can handle at all. Even

Wood was injured as a result."

"I guess in the several high-rise buildings and shopping malls where the hostages are trapped, the defense intensity will definitely not be weaker than those of the enemies blocking the way."

"Judging from what Wood and the others have experienced, if they deal with the elite enemies, they can seize equipment that greatly increases their combat effectiveness."

"So if we want to rescue the trapped hostages, collect as much loot as possible from the enemies in the ruins, and arm ourselves may be the right choice, otherwise..."

Hermione also reacted at this time, "Otherwise, even if we reach the location where the hostages are hidden, we may not be able to do anything against those enemies!"

"That's right!" Cedric nodded firmly, "In my opinion, those scattered enemies were originally meant to improve us."

"I see, so what you're saying is that blindly avoiding the battle will reduce the harvest. So what should we do when it's our turn to enter?" Terrence, who had been silent, also woke up.

"In that case, how about we go directly to the wild and explore directly from the ruins. Since we can seize equipment from the enemy, maybe there will be good things that can be collected in the wild." George and Ron's thoughts

Almost everyone realizes this key point.

"But we were the last to enter." Hermione said with some concern, "You may gain more if you take the wild path than the normal path, but the speed will definitely be much slower. I think Percy will choose to take the left path, and there will definitely be some

Similar ideas.”

"Well, I think so too. If we start from the ruins, we will be too far behind!" Cedric also affirmed.

"Then let's follow Percy's example and follow the second team from the left side?" Fred asked himself, holding his chin in his hand, "But this way, although our speed will be faster, the harvest will definitely be much less."

"I think..." Hermione glanced after thinking for a moment, "How about we take the main road in the middle?"

"But there is a giant skeleton guarding over there! The entire first team was dispersed by it, wasn't it?" George thought Hermione was crazy.

"No!" Cedric grinned, "My idea is the same as Hermione's, I also want to take the main road!"

After saying that, he and Hermione looked at each other and smiled, while the twins frowned and looked at them with puzzled expressions.

"Oh? Could it be that your idea is..." Terrence seemed to understand his idea, "to target that giant skeleton?"

"Yes, the location and behavior pattern of that giant skeleton have been shown to us once, so we might as well..." When Cedric said this, he stretched out his thumb across his neck and made a touch.

Throat movements.

"You mean we directly find a way to kill that giant skeleton? And then seize the equipment on him?" George and Fred also reacted at this time.

"But that guy is difficult to deal with at first sight. Can we crack this bone?" Although Terrence understood Cedric's thoughts, he still had concerns.

"As long as we are prepared, there is no chance!" Cedric waved to a few people, "Come closer, he listens to me."

When everyone heard this, they immediately gathered together and formed a pile.

"Look..." Cedric pointed to the sketch he drew on the ground, "The giant skeleton is in this position. It will only appear after it reaches a certain distance."

"And he was accompanied by a group of skeleton archers ambushing both sides. I guess they didn't appear out of thin air."

"So after we arrive at the target location, we don't trigger the giant skeleton first, but prioritize getting rid of the ambushing archers on both sides. Then only this giant skeleton will be left."

"After clearing the threats on both sides, you can send a more flexible person to attract the attention of the giant skeleton, while the others use long-range magic to attack. I don't believe this guy can withstand our sustained firepower!"

"I think it will work!" Hermione added at this time, "And to deal with such a huge monster, you can use the transformation spell to restrain the opponent, just like Tonks did when he dealt with the Iron Golem."

"George and I both have Level 3 Transformation Spells, let's give it a try!" After hearing what Cedric said, Fred also felt that there was a lot to be done, and looked at his brother excitedly.

"Then let's do this! Leave the task of attracting the giant skeleton's attention to me. As long as I run fast, it shouldn't be able to do anything to me." Terrence also volunteered, he was obviously very satisfied with his speed.

Have confidence.

"Okay, then it's settled!" Cedric clenched his fist and waved, "As long as we kill that giant skeleton and seize its equipment, our follow-up actions will have a greater chance of winning."

Several people gathered together and talked excitedly, and Anduin smiled happily when he saw this scene. It was somewhat beyond his expectation that these brats were able to deduce so many things based on the existing information.

Another ten minutes passed, during which two more wizards were teleported back to the starting point, namely Susan from the first team and Daphne from the third team. It seemed that the ruins were more dangerous than imagined.

"Alright, Team 4 is ready to enter!" After staring at his pocket watch to confirm that the time had come, Anduin turned his head and looked at Cedric and the others.

"Yes, Professor!" The members of the fourth team stood up happily after discussing for a while. They couldn't wait any longer.

So everyone in the fourth team followed the originally discussed strategy and headed directly along the central main road.

Sure enough, the mechanism in this ruins copy did not change. The first few hundred meters went very smoothly without any twists and turns.

After they approached the location where the first team was attacked, Cedric winked at the remaining people, and then he and Hermione ran to the left, while George and Fred entered the one on the right.

There were several broken rooms, and Terrence was waiting downstairs.

After investigation, it was found that there were indeed a large number of skeleton archers on the upper floors of the houses along the street, but they were all on standby at this time. These archers would not take the initiative to attack until the giant skeleton in the middle of the road jumped out.

After discovering this, everyone in the fourth team was not polite to you. They rushed upstairs and started killing these archers.

Without front row cover, the skeleton archers are no match for these little wizards. Basically, one of them can be eliminated with a crushing spell.

The fourth team picked out four people and divided them into two teams. They cleared away the archers on both sides along the way. In a short time, they cleared out more than twenty remote skeletons in several houses.

And the scene was just as they expected. This did not disturb the giant skeleton hiding underground.

"Fred! Have you checked everything over there?" Cedric, who had completed his task, came to the balcony and shouted to the twins opposite.

"It's a piece of cake!" Fred also grinned, "Even George was almost shot by an archer, but it was just a false alarm."

"Okay, let's start the action!" Cedric nodded and glanced at Terence, who was waiting below.

When Terrence saw this, he knew it was time to take action, so he took out his wand and moved forward cautiously. He was actually not particularly sure of the actual location of the giant skeleton.

"boom!"

After constant testing, Terrence finally came to the opponent's ambush position. The skeleton was still the same as before, roaring loudly and jumping out of the ground, and vigorously swinging the sledgehammer in his hand.

However, Terrence had already been on full alert and did not want to be frightened like Team No. 1. But as soon as the giant skeleton showed signs of appearing, he quickly turned back and retreated without any delay.

"Fred! George! Get a hold of it!"

When the skeleton giant just appeared, Cedric shouted loudly, and together with Hermione, they began to attack condescendingly.

"Leave it to us!"

George and Fred were also unambiguous. This time they were counterattacking an ambush and had already prepared in advance. The moment the giant skeleton appeared, they cast a spell decisively.

Although they were only two third-year minor wizards, the jointly cast third-level transformation spell still turned a large area of ​​ground under the giant skeleton into a quagmire. Not only was the area large, but the depth was also shallow.

The roaring skeleton giant that wanted to rush forward didn't take two steps before its legs were knee-deep in the quagmire, causing it to keep raising its legs and struggling, but it still couldn't get out successfully for a while.

On the other side, Cedric and Hermione's attack spells also arrived. The crushing spells and knockback spells of continuous shooting hit each other continuously, and a burst of dazzling light was reflected like fireworks.

Terrence, who had already run some distance away, saw that he was no longer in danger, so he turned around and joined the siege.

However, the resistance ability of this giant skeleton is indeed extraordinary. It is not comparable to ordinary skeleton structures. Under the bombardment of more than ten consecutive magic spells, the opponent is still very strong, but if you look carefully, you can still find it.

Some cracks have appeared.

After all, it was just a small boss blocking the road. After nearly a minute of violent attack by five people, the giant skeleton was still reduced to pieces of bones.

"pretty!"

Seeing that the terrifying giant monster was finally killed, the twins cheered loudly with excitement, and even Hermione smiled with ecstasy.

They can be considered a victory.

"Quick, look what equipment this guy exploded!" After celebrating, Cedric shouted quickly and jumped down from the second floor impatiently.

After hearing the words, everyone didn't hesitate, and they all came forward to inspect the items dropped by the giant skeleton. After some counting, they determined that the giant skeleton also had two pieces of equipment with attributes, namely the sledgehammer in the opponent's hand and the

A belt.

【Skeleton Hammer】

Basic attack power: 30-40

Durability:54/60

Equipment requirements: Strength attribute ★★☆ or above

Additional features: 1. Transformation. After enchantment, this hammer can freely change size between 1 meter and 4 meters according to the user's control.

2. Shock wave. After being enchanted, every time the hammer face of this hammer is used to attack an enemy, a short-range shock wave with a power value of 50 points can be released.

【Giant Belt】

Durability:42/50

Equipment requirements: Physical attribute ★★ or above

Additional characteristics: 1. Giant's strength, which increases ☆ strength for the wearer, up to a maximum of ★★★★.

2. Power burst. After activating this ability, it can temporarily increase the wearer's strength. The duration is 10 seconds and can be used once every 2 hours.

"Wow!"

After seeing the properties of these two pieces of equipment, the five of them couldn't help but widen their eyes. Both of these items were incredibly powerful. With them, they could even make a third-year student explode with strength close to that of an adult wizard.

.

"Great, our strategy is correct!" Hermione waved her fist excitedly, "With these two pieces of equipment, it will undoubtedly be much easier to face future challenges."

"Yes, but who should use these two pieces of equipment? This [Skeleton Hammer] requires ★★☆ strength to use, and even if I pair it with the [Giant Belt], it doesn't meet the conditions for use." Terrence

He curled his lips in some distress.

After hearing this, several people reported their basic attributes, and then discovered that only Cedric, George and Fred among them could use the giant hammer normally after wearing the [Giant Belt].

After a short negotiation, everyone unanimously decided to temporarily let Cedric use these two pieces of equipment. After all, he was the captain of the team and the most outstanding wizard among the third-year students, and he was able to transform the equipment into combat effectiveness.

And using this giant hammer means that you need to attack difficulties alone, but the twins are used to cooperating with each other, and they have a better understanding when they are together.

After Cedric put on the belt, he immediately felt as if someone had lifted him up. His whole body felt light and full of energy. After shrinking the giant hammer to the minimum, it was only one meter long. Can his hands be used smoothly? Occasionally, he could use it alone.

It is not very difficult to operate by hand.

Putting the sledgehammer on his shoulder, Cedric suddenly changed his style. From a distance, he looked like a decoration worker rushing to start work, which looked a bit funny.
