Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"Without further delay, let's hurry up!" Cedric also didn't expect that Percy and others would suddenly appear.

But this is very reasonable. The third team originally set off before them, and it is already slow to arrive at the shopping mall now.

However, even though time was tight now, no one dared to rush straight in. They had to go around to the right first, otherwise they would be in trouble if they attracted the guards at the main entrance.

When a group of six people arrived at the corresponding location, although the sound of fighting on the left side of the shopping mall was still fierce, it was much lighter than at the beginning. It seemed that Percy and others were also moving very quickly, and it would not take long.

End the battle.

"Shattered to pieces!"×6

After taking a detour to approach the side door on the right, Cedric and others did not hesitate and cast spells almost at the same time. Six crushing spells were fired at the stationed skeleton soldiers in no particular order.

"Ouch!"

The skeleton knight, who was obviously an elite monster, did not hesitate after seeing the crowd. He immediately howled and raised the spear with the flag in his hand high.

Immediately afterwards, a faint magic wave spread around with a spear as the center, and gradually covered the soldiers stationed at the side door, as if they were blessing them with something.

"Bang bang!"

Six consecutive rounds of crushing spells accurately hit six skeleton soldiers, but a scene that surprised everyone appeared.

Except for the magic spell cast by Penello, which successfully crushed one enemy, the other skeleton soldiers only took a few steps back after receiving the attack, and then rushed towards everyone with roars as if nothing happened.

"There's something wrong with the flag gun in that skeleton knight's hand!" Upon seeing this, Penello immediately reminded everyone.

"I see, that piece of equipment seems to be able to improve the defense of the surrounding soldiers. We must deal with him first, otherwise we will definitely fall into a hard battle!" Hermione found herself casting two crushing spells again to crush a skeleton.

, shouted anxiously.

"It's really troublesome, leave that guy to me, you guys can hold off the other enemies!" Cedric, who reacted quickly, greeted the people around him, and then rushed into the crowd with the heavy hammer in his hand.

Soon, the six wizards who attacked the door on the right divided into two groups. Cedric chose to go after the skeleton knight alone, while the others tried to fend off the soldiers.

Cedric was very fierce here, and no one could resist him holding the [Skeleton Hammer]. After a while, he used his speed and equipment to clear a path and attack the skeleton knight directly.

It's not that the skeleton soldiers around him didn't want to attack Cedric, but the Weasley twins also had a tacit understanding of helping their companions to cover.

As long as any skeleton mobs try to get close to Cedric, they will be trapped by the binding spells they shoot.

After a fierce battle for a while, the rest of the team discovered that these skeleton soldiers were not only strengthened in terms of defense, but their strength also seemed to have increased.

Basically everyone in the team has captured one or two [Bone Shields], so they are not particularly afraid of melee combat, but the attack strength of these skeleton soldiers in front of them is obviously much higher than before, which makes the shields in everyone's hands durable.

The speed went crazy.

This ferocious attack shocked everyone, so everyone could only fight and retreat.

Fortunately, there was a fifth-grade student Penelo in the team at this time. Her spell casting strength was obviously higher than the others. Each crushing spell could kill a skeleton soldier.

But there were at least thirty skeleton soldiers besieging them in front of them, and half of them were skeleton archers. The power and rate of fire of these long-range arrows had also been significantly enhanced, and everyone was shot into panic.

If they continue like this, they will be defeated or even killed in battle before long.

The opponent's attack was so fierce that everyone was almost suspicious. They were all curious at this time, how did Percy's team, who was attacking on the left, deal with these guys?

However, Cedric did not disappoint the teammates who were covering him. After breaking through the guarding skeleton soldiers on the first floor, Cedric quickly caught the skeleton knight.

Although this skeleton knight looks tall and powerful, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, his performance is not as powerful as expected.

I don’t know why, but after seeing Cedric approaching, the skeleton knight neither chose to drive his horse forward to meet the enemy, nor turned around to escape. Instead, he froze in place like a fool.

Of course, it cannot be said that the opponent was a motionless wooden sculpture. After Cedric approached, it still waved its spear bravely and stabbed at Cedric.

But facing such a motionless enemy, it was strange that Cedric could be hit by it. He simply lowered his head and leaned over to easily dodge the opponent's attack, and then hit the horse's head with his backhand.

hammer.

After those skeletal horses received this heavy hammer, their entire heads and necks were immediately smashed to pieces, and the skeleton knight above them also fell instantly.

Faced with several rounds of hammer blows from Cedric, the Skeleton Knight could barely parry a few attacks before Cedric found an opening and hit him with a single blow.

"boom!"

After a loud noise, the skeleton knight was beaten into pieces by the [Skeleton Hammer], and the dozens of skeleton soldiers amplified by the flag gun also quickly weakened, losing their original bravery.

After getting rid of the Skeleton Knight, Cedric didn't even have time to check the loot and immediately turned around to support his teammates.

After all, even without the increase of the Skeleton Knight, so many ordinary skeletons are still a huge threat. Even Terrence and Hermione have a few bone arrows inserted into their bodies at this time. If it is later, there may be casualties.

However, with Cedric's reverse support and the decline of the skeleton soldiers' combat effectiveness, everyone was finally able to clear them all out without any danger. Fortunately, there was no attrition.

"Everyone, hurry up and heal your wounds. It sounds like the battle at the door on the left is over, but we can't let them get there first!" Cedric said as he picked up healing potions such as 'White Fresh Potion', which they had along the way.

Collected a lot.

"Don't worry, we only suffered minor injuries and it will not affect the subsequent battle."

Hermione pulled out a bone arrow from her arm very fiercely, and did not even frown when facing the blood that was pouring out. Terrence next to her did the same.

The reason why they are so calm about this kind of injury does not mean that these little wizards are very nervous.

This was mainly due to Anduin's repeated training for more than half a year. There were endless surprise inspections, safety drills and the like, which made them all a little numb.

And in daily training, they actually get injured a lot, not to mention the high-intensity training they have received in every training session in the past month, which has always left them bruised and swollen.

Even girls like Hermione may not realize it. They have gradually become accustomed to and adapted to the pain, and they don't even care if their skin is broken or bleeds.

So from some aspects, Anduin's training did have a very good effect. At least the will of these young wizards is probably stronger than that of many adult wizards who are accustomed to peace.

After seeing how calm they were, Cedric nodded happily, "Okay, I'll go clean up the loot. Let's take a break for ten minutes."

After saying that, Cedric walked towards the flag gun exploded by the Skeleton Knight. When he saw the properties of this piece of equipment, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

【Guardian Halberd】

Attack power:18-25

Durability:42/50

Equipment requirements: Intelligence attribute ★☆ or above, Strength attribute ★☆ or above

Additional skills: Guardian Aura

Guardian Aura: It can provide a weak strength increase to surrounding allies, and comes with a full-body magic shield with a strength of 20 points.

Action radius: 50 meters

Consumption: After turning on the aura, 10 ticks of magic power are consumed every minute. At the same time, each time a friendly force is covered, an additional 5 ticks of magic power is consumed. The maximum number of people covered is 50 people. At the same time, the holder cannot move when the aura is turned on.

"No wonder..." Cedric nodded thoughtfully. He had previously wondered why the skeleton knight stood there motionless like a fool. It turned out to be because he couldn't move after turning on the equipment skill.

"But this piece of equipment is really ridiculously powerful. It was only used on ordinary skeleton soldiers before. If the target of the increase is wizards, we may be in danger." Cedric let out a long sigh.

The increase in power brought by this piece of equipment is okay, but the most outrageous thing is the whole-body magic shield that comes with it.

You must know that they, underage wizards, have been shooting "human targets" before. The current power of spells cast by first-year students is only about ten points, and the power of spells cast by third-year students is only about 30 points.

In other words, after the guardian aura is turned on, the shield can resist at least two spells from a first grader. A third grader also needs one spell to break through the shield. Only a fifth grader's spell can be easier.

to break through this layer of protection.

Therefore, having this piece of equipment is equivalent to giving them one more chance to make mistakes. You must know that none of them, the junior students, know the powerful protective spell of the 'Iron Armor Curse'.

"Unfortunately, the conditions for using this equipment are too harsh. The holder cannot move, and the consumption is ridiculous. If it wants to cover 6 people, it will consume 40 ticks of magic power every minute. Even I can't hold on for a few minutes.

"

"Moreover, if the skeleton knights defending on the left will also produce this item, it proves that they also have a [Guardian Halberd] in their hands."

Cedric shook his head in distress, then turned to look at Hermione and Terrence, "How much magic power do you two have left now?"

"I have about 50 minutes left." Hermione opened the Silver Flash Talisman and glanced at it.

"I still have more than 80 minutes left, so it shouldn't be a problem to continue fighting for two more times." Terrence also answered.

Cedric nodded, and then handed the [Guardian Halberd] to Terrence, "Then I'll leave this halberd to you. It may be the key to our victory next!"

Terrence took the spear and glanced at it with a startled expression, "This spear... is so powerful! But if I were to use it, I would only be able to activate it for two minutes. Wouldn't the time be too short?"

?”

"Battles between wizards are ever-changing. Two minutes are enough to decide the outcome of a battle." Cedric smiled and shook his head, "And you have to know that there are four first-year students in Percy's team.

My magic power reserves at this time are probably even lower than Hermione's."

"In other words, if they also have such a spear in their hands, it can only be turned on for one minute at most. They can't let Percy use this equipment by himself. We already have a great advantage."

"That's it." Terrence nodded clearly, "I understand. It seems that it will determine the outcome at the critical moment."

"Well, what you have to pay attention to is the timing and location of using this equipment. If Percy and the others know the information about this item, they will definitely take action against you. Of course, we will do the same, so how to use it properly is the best way.

Important." Cedric thought very deeply, so he said to Terence in a serious tone.

"Don't worry." Hermione also interrupted at this time, "When Terrence uses this equipment, I will be there to protect him."

"Okay, then leave the direct battle to me, George, and Fred. You should protect yourselves first." Cedric did not include Penello. When the decisive battle came, he did not believe that the other party would still fight.

We will stand on the same side as our own side.

After several members of the fourth team discussed tactics on the spot, they almost finished their rest, and then they headed towards the shopping mall without hesitation.

And Penello, who had been acting together with them, glanced thoughtfully at a corner behind him, deliberately slowed down the others for half a beat when moving, and threw something on the ground in a very subtle way, and then followed.

They walked through the door.

After several members of the fourth team left the right door, two sneaky little heads suddenly popped out from the far corner. They were Ron and Malfoy, who had disappeared for a long time.

At this time, the two of them were each carrying a small satchel and were unkempt. Those who didn't know thought they were two wild children.

"These guys are finally gone." Malfoy looked at the empty door on the right and smiled miserably, "Fortunately we are patient. If we had listened to your idea and sneaked in, we would have been beaten to pieces by those guards.

There are none left. Didn’t you see how powerful that team of skeleton soldiers is? Why do you think you can get away with it?”

"Now is not the time to worry about this." Ron rolled his eyes at Malfoy, "Did you see it? Penello actually mixed with Cedric's team. It seems that she was either kidnapped or incorporated."

"Who knows." Malfoy shook his head in confusion, "But I also saw Penello throwing something on the ground before leaving, and before leaving, he looked towards us specifically, you said

Has she discovered us?"

"Nine times out of ten." Ron nodded in agreement, "Come on, follow us and take a look. We have to wait until these guys notice us and find a way to take advantage."
