Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"The flames are blazing!"

Seeing that Ron was in critical condition, Hermione did not dare to delay and quickly cast a blazing curse. However, because she was afraid of hurting Ron, she cast the curse directly on the trunk of the dead tree.

"Ouch!!"

The flames cast by the furious Hermione were so fierce that they instantly enveloped the ghost tree. The ghostly face on the tree trunk was burned by the flames and let out a scream. The scream was so sharp that it made the eardrums of several people around it hurt.

But when Hermione saw this, she persisted in maintaining the spell. Neville and Harry next to her also took action decisively after struggling for a moment, shooting a Petrifying Curse and a Crushing Curse respectively, which hit the dead tree one after another.

"boom!"

After twisting in pain for a moment, the dead tree finally couldn't hold on anymore, but before it completely died, it didn't forget to throw Ron out of its claws, slamming him onto the muddy ground next to it, and then gradually lost it.

It stopped breathing and turned into a scorched dead tree.

"Ron!"

When Hermione saw that the crisis was finally over, she rushed to Ron's side eagerly. In this unfinished high-risk copy, no one knew what would happen. If something happened to Ron, Hermione could

Unable to forgive myself.

"Ahem! It hurts..."

Ron was helped by Hermione to sit up, with a frightened expression on his face, but he looked relatively energetic, but his whole body was covered in dust.

However, after a simple inspection, everyone found that although there were cuts everywhere on his body caused by the dead branches, they did not leave any major injuries on his body.

"Thank God!" Hermione breathed out while holding Ron's head.

"Let me take a breath!" Ron's neck was pinched by Hermione, and he couldn't help but struggled, and then stood up with Hermione's help.

"Fortunately, there were no stones on the ground, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. I was so scared that this ghost tree suddenly appeared!" Ron complained after searching for himself again and making sure that there was no serious problem.

"This strange tree has always been normal before, but it was suddenly possessed just now!" Harry glanced at the dead tree that had been burned by them, and said with lingering fear, "This ghost town is really evil, that so-called

Demons are so pervasive that I estimate that besides trees, other things will also be possessed by demons."

"Then what exactly is the so-called devil? There is no one else around, so how did it get close to us? Could it be that the other party is invisible?" Ron couldn't help but guess after taking a breath.

"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Hermione shook her head slightly, "If the other party just hides his figure, he should also reveal himself after possessing the dead tree. I don't believe that the devil has been eliminated.

"

"Is this demon invisible? Otherwise there is no way to explain what happened to us!" Neville's idea is very simple. Since he can't see the form, it means he is invisible.

"How could something like that exist?" Ron curled his lips in disbelief.

"No!" Harry interrupted Ron's retort at this time, "Maybe Neville's guess is not wrong, I have a similar premonition."

"Isn't that the end? How can we defeat the invisible enemy?" Ron held his head in despair. He already regretted entering this dungeon. Everything here had subverted his previous understanding.

After seeing Ron turning into such a coward again, Hermione slapped him on the back of the head with dissatisfaction, "It's impossible for the professor to create such an enemy that is completely unbeatable! The opponent must have some weaknesses or restrictions.

.”

"Can you stop hitting people in the back all the time?" Ron muttered to Hermione unhappily, and then asked in confusion, "Then what do you think the weaknesses and limitations of this demon are?"

"I don't know, but our biggest problem now is to find the revelation document and reduce the fear value!" Neville pointed at his goggles and said.

After his reminder, everyone checked their fear levels, and then they discovered that after the previous sneak attack by the ghost tree, the fear levels of several people had increased significantly.

Among them, Neville's originally high value has risen to 38%, while Harry and Hermione's have risen to 24% and 26% respectively.

Ron was in a miserable state. He had just been frightened by Hermione who was conducting an experiment, and then was attacked by the Grimace Tree. At this time, his fear value had exceeded half, reaching 57%.

"Damn, the fear value does increase according to the degree of fright. I'm afraid the greater the fright, the more the fear value increases." Hermione stared at the attribute column with an ugly face.

Then Hermione glanced at Ron angrily and said, "Can't you be more courageous? If this continues, I'm afraid you will be the first person to get the full score."

"This is not something I can control." Ron rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then frowned involuntarily, "Everyone had better be careful. After the fear value exceeds 50 points, I will have an inexplicable

The feeling of heart palpitations is very real, it doesn’t seem like a psychological effect.”

"Yes, I have a similar feeling." Neville next to him also nodded, "It's like feeling like there's someone behind you staring at you all the time. It's very uncomfortable."

"That is to say, in addition to 70%, will there be side effects if the fear value exceeds 30% and 50%?" Harry briefly summarized and couldn't help but feel worried, "And the trouble is, the situation you mentioned, maybe

It will cause the fear value to grow faster, and we must first find a way to eliminate these fear values."

"But we are already outside the quarry now!" Ron said with some reluctance, "I can still fight in my current state. I think we should find the first revelation document first, otherwise it will be too delayed.

"

"What Ron said makes sense. I suggest we go and explore the truth first." Hermione agreed at this time, "We already have information about the monster called [Demon Servant]. We already have information about its behavior pattern. If we encounter it again,

It will be much easier to solve later.”

"Okay!" Harry also knew that if he turned around and ran to the bonfire to eliminate the fear value, he would definitely waste a lot of time. The best option now is to explore the reality in the mining field. If there are not many enemies, he might be able to fight quickly.

quick decision.

The few people who had made up their minds tidied up and then readjusted their formation and went in.

The mining site in front of us is actually equivalent to a small residential area, including 1 office building, 3 employee dormitories, 1 shop, 1 workshop, and 1 bar. These buildings are all located in a stone building.

On one side of the mountain, there is also a mine on the edge of the stone mountain, but it has been sealed by an iron gate at this time.

After touching the edge of this residential area, the four-person group did not rush into it, but carefully investigated the surrounding situation.

After investigation, several people found that there were a total of 6 [Devil Servants] of the kind they had encountered in this mining camp, 3 of which were relatively far away from other monsters, and 3 of which were relatively close together.

After a brief discussion, a few people decided to give priority to the three [Devil Servants] that had dropped orders, and at the same time, raid the bars and workshops where they were guarding.

After confirming the plan, the four of them rushed towards the monster closest to them.

However, after having a previous combat experience, they learned a lot this time and did not choose to launch a volley, nor did they arrange for teammates to come forward to engage in close combat to avoid being affected by the monster's self-destruction.

The four of them used staged attacks to fire spells at the enemy intermittently in pairs. Neville and Harry gave priority to shooting to wake up the enemy. After the opponent used Flash to approach them, Hermione and Ron launched their attack again.

In this way, without much effort, a few people successfully eliminated three [Devil Servants]. At the same time, they also controlled the fear level very well. Even Ron's fear level was currently within 60%.

The group of four also discovered at this time that the fear value is most affected by unknown frights, and the greater the emotional ups and downs, the greater the improvement.

For example, when they encountered [Devil Servants] and the Grimace Tree for the first time, even if they were not attacked by the opponent, their fear value would increase a lot.

However, since several people have already seen [Devil Servants], their emotions will not change significantly if they encounter a similar enemy again.

After getting rid of the three demon servants, the foursome sneaked into the two-story workshop without stopping and started searching. After a while, they dug out a box of matches and some usable bits and pieces, which was particularly impressive.

Min also found some wound medicine, which could be used by Ron.

And just when a few people were resting, Neville's voice suddenly came from the soles of their feet, "Come here quickly and see what I found!"

Several people looked for a voice and found a trap door on the ground on one side. It turned out that there was actually a basement in this room.

After the three of them came down the stairs, they found Neville excitedly pointing to a piece of parchment on the table, "It seems that we are lucky today. The revelation document was found so easily!"

After hearing this, the others took a closer look and found that the parchment was clearly their target revelation document. However, in their goggles, apart from displaying the mission items, the revelation document did not have any other introduction. Presumably, this thing should not be there either.

Other functions.

"Well done! Neville!" Harry patted Neville's shoulder excitedly, and then carefully put the pages away.

"There's more than just this good thing here, look at that!"

Neville stretched out his hand and pointed with a smile. Several people looked in the direction of the finger and found that there was actually a treasure chest with a faint blue light in the corner of the room!

"It's a treasure chest!" Ron raised his eyebrows, but soon he said distressedly, "But we don't have the key!"

"The treasure chest in this dungeon doesn't seem to require a key. I just checked it and it can be opened directly using the unlocking spell." Neville led a few people to the treasure chest with a chuckle.

Sure enough, after he cast a simple spell, the treasure chest was easily opened, and then several people saw several props placed inside.

【Blessed Fire Ax】

Quality: green

Attack power:25-30

Durability:50/50

Equipment requirements: Strength attribute ★★ or above

Additional features: This item has been blessed, so when faced with contaminated enemies, the damage is doubled.

【amulet】

Quality: green

Durability:100/100

Dispel Evil: A passive skill that creates a 100-strength shield on the wearer's body, protecting the wearer from the evil minions, including direct damage and fear effects.

【Nourishment Potion】

The uncontaminated potion can slowly restore the user's physical strength and magic power.

After seeing these props clearly, everyone's eyes lit up, especially the weapon named [Blessed Fire Ax] and [Amulet], which were obviously two pieces of equipment specifically targeted at Despair Town.

But soon, facing the distribution of equipment, the four of them hesitated again.

This was not because some of them were greedy. For melee equipment such as the [Blessed Fire Ax], several of them unanimously agreed to give it to Neville for use.

What made them hesitate more was the amulet. Should they give it directly to Neville so that he could defend himself in close combat, or should they give it to Ron. After all, the amulet could prevent the fear level from increasing.

Although it only avoids the direct fear influence from the enemy and cannot avoid the fright that one suffers, it may be able to save Ron at a critical moment. You must know that his fear value is already hovering around 60%.

"Let's give it to Neville." Ron suggested very calmly. "Next, Neville will be our main combat force. The most important thing is to ensure that he can have stable output. As for being possessed by a demon after the fear value is full,

It may be too early for us to consider such a thing now."

"If Ron you insist on not using the amulet, for the sake of safety, I suggest you give up searching the remaining rooms. After all, we have obtained the revelation document." Seeing Ron's insistence, Neville no longer pressed.

Just giving my opinion.

"I think it's okay." Hermione nodded, "We don't need to stay here any longer. Before we grow up, our best choice is to make fewer mistakes."

Seeing that several people had unified their opinions, Harry raised no objections, and then evacuated the house after a brief rest, and then headed in the opposite direction of the quarry.

But this place is not one that you can come and leave at will. Until now, the four of them have never thought about why there are so few monsters living here and they are so scattered.

"Uh-huh!!"

Just when a few people were about to move to the edge of this residential area, a scarlet space crack suddenly opened in the void in front of them, and then they saw three [Devil Servants] jumping out of it, which could be said to be the same as the foursome.

It hit me directly.

Faced with such an unexpected incident, the four Harrys all changed their expressions. This sudden appearance of the enemy could be said to have caught them off guard.

What's even more terrible is that due to the fright caused by these monsters, Ron's fear level finally exceeded 70%.

At this moment, several high-pitched evil howls came from the quarry behind them. It was obvious that the [Devil Servants] in the camp were attracted by Ron.
