The Admiral of Hogwarts

"It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't," Hugo said after a moment of thought, his hands not idle as he began pulling bottles of potions from his pouch. "Considering his condition, I doubt he can cast much dark magic at all. Besides, unicorns themselves have a strong resistance to dark magic, so using it would be more trouble than it's worth."

At this point, a lot of silver blood with a lot of foam began to appear at the unicorn's mouth, indicating that its lungs and internal organs had all been severely damaged, accompanied by a lot of internal bleeding. Fortunately, Firefly took out a large number of surgical tools from her ship装 space and, together with the potions in Hugo's hand, finally stopped the unicorn's bleeding.

Hugo had bought these potions before, because the Weasley twins were too easily injured during their experiments, so as their partner, Hugo simply bought some simple potions for treating wounds, things like dittany.

Even more fortunately, these wizarding potions could actually be used on magical creatures. For example, after pouring almost half a bottle of dittany on the wound, the unicorn's blood actually stopped.

"I just temporarily dealt with the bleeding point in its body," Firefly said. "I have to say, this kind of magical creature is much more tenacious than humans, and these potions are also very useful. I can basically confirm that it should be able to fully recover after a while."

"That's good—" Hugo nodded with a smile. In any case, saving an innocent life is always a good thing, not to mention that if this unicorn can survive, he will definitely be able to obtain a lot of Fate Points.

"Careful!" At this moment, Veneto suddenly warned Hugo through the Admiral Network. At the same time, she and Firefly packed up everything they had brought and then pulled Hugo away from the clearing and into the jungle.

"A point is rapidly approaching here on the edge of my radar detection," Veneto explained in the Admiral Network after entering the hidden jungle. "That guy should be Voldemort."

"Then what are you going to do now?" Hugo asked curiously. "But I don't recommend close combat, because I'm worried that he may still retain the ability to cast the Killing Curse."

"Of course I won't fight him in close combat, because he's not a physical entity right now," Veneto said as she and Firefly deployed their ship装. "Okay, my Admiral, please cover your ears first. Although the next shot isn't as loud as our ship's guns firing after deployment, the sound isn't small."

"Understood." Hugo immediately took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground, covering his ears. Then, he listened to Veneto and Firefly's final preparations before firing in the Admiral Network.

"Now, everyone, get ready! Target Voldemort, load semi-armor-piercing rounds, all main guns, one round of fire." Veneto's voice echoed in the Admiral Network. "Firing target, direction—"

As a series of parameters were reported, Hugo saw the turrets on the two ship girls' ship装 gradually adjusting their direction. After Firefly finished adjusting and confirmed, Veneto immediately issued the order to fire.

"Boom—" After a huge bang, nine 381mm shells and four 120mm shells were fired simultaneously from the two ship girls' ship装 guns, and then exploded into a sea of fire a kilometer or two away.

As ship girls, they can modify the shells according to their wishes when using artillery. For example, all of these semi-armor-piercing shells were equipped with sensitive point-detonating fuzes, so they could explode directly the moment the shells landed.

The reason for using semi-armor-piercing rounds was also very simple: Voldemort was a little too close to them right now, and Veneto was worried that high-explosive rounds might hurt themselves or innocent people. In fact, if Veneto hadn't confirmed that Harry and the others had appeared in another direction at this time, she would have preferred to use training rounds to see if she could smash Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, to death with iron lumps.

"The target is still alive, but is running away in the opposite direction." A few seconds later, Veneto quickly obtained feedback from the vicinity of the shell's impact point through her radar detection. "We weren't able to hit directly, but the target should still have been injured."

Speaking of this, Veneto smiled and looked at Hugo; "I feel great today. Firing these few shots makes me feel like my arms and legs are completely stretched out. By the way, let's get out of here quickly, or we'll be in trouble if we run into Hagrid and the others."

After speaking, she had Firefly carry Hugo as she had done when they came, and then returned to the castle as quickly as possible. Perhaps because the explosion in the Forbidden Forest caused enough commotion, the three of them successfully returned to the castle and went back to their respective common rooms without encountering any of the school's night patrols.

Just a few minutes before they successfully returned to the castle, a body wrapped in tattered, charred black robes also floated into the castle and, avoiding the monitoring portraits and armor in the castle, entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, then staggered to the cabinet, took out several bottles of things, and drank them all, then collapsed into a chair as if his whole body had completely lost its strength.

"No—no—I really don't know what happened just now. I don't think I can do it anymore, please—" Quirrell's voice came from under the black robe, but soon, the voice turned into a惨烈的哀嚎. The wailing stopped after a few minutes, and then Quirrell sobbed and said, "Okay—okay—"

During the shelling, Voldemort sensed the danger when the shells were still flying in the sky. As a top wizard, even if he has fallen to this point, he still has some very powerful abilities. Not to mention that the shells of large-caliber artillery made a huge noise like a train passing by when they flew through the air.

So, he forcibly took over Quirrell's body at the first moment, and then completely turned himself into a cloud of black mist and fled to other places. It's a pity that before he could run far, the shells landed and exploded.

The destructive power of ship guns far exceeds ordinary people's imagination. Even the destroyer guns owned by Firefly are often jokingly called small water pipes, but the 120mm caliber can also be regarded as heavy artillery in the army. Not to mention the battleship main guns used by Veneto.

According to naval regulations, the battleship's main guns even require the evacuation of personnel on the deck to avoid the muzzle blast when firing. And the power of the shell's explosion is far greater than this. More fatally, ship girls, as a product of some kind of mysticism, also contain some magical power in their attacks.

Therefore, even if Voldemort was able to react in time, the flames and shock waves containing the power of destruction generated after the shells exploded still caused considerable damage to Voldemort in a gaseous state, and even forced him to return to his physical form immediately after escaping the explosion range.
