Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

呲——呲——

There were sounds like a pressure cooker deflated, and the skin of the students and teachers in the auditorium swelled up. Their skin became translucent due to swelling, and something was faintly moving under the skin.

Seeing the scene in front of him, several veins popped out on Krum's forehead: no matter how slow he was, he could see that something was wrong. His teacher, his classmates, and his friends would most likely never come back.

When the skin of the people in the auditorium expanded to a certain extent, they exploded like balloons. Scarlet juice was scattered everywhere, dyeing the entire auditorium red, and an indescribable stench spread - the knowledgeable Rice knew that it was the stench of a corpse.

After the skin exploded, the true state of Durmstrang's teachers and students was exposed: maggots were surging in everyone's flesh and blood. Some people's flesh and blood under the skin had been eaten away by these worms, while some people still had some of it. It seemed to be the difference between accepting the blessing early and late. The earlier you accept it, the more worms there are in your body.

Bugs fell from the skeleton and flesh with a crackling sound, and began to devour each other. At the same time, Karkaroff's eyes turned blood red.

As the first person to receive the blessing, his transformation was also the most thorough. The other Durmstrang people just had worms under their skin, but Karkaroff's worms under his skin had already devoured each other.

Karkaroff stared at Rice and the other two, ready to take action at any time. He wanted to buy time for the ritual of summoning the great being.

However, Les, Rowena and Athena did nothing but stood there and watched them "perform" quietly. Their idea was simple, they just wanted to see what the true form of the summoned ancient god was.

"Arrogant." Karkaroff looked at the three with disdain, but did not take any further action, because he felt that the status quo was fine.

In just a dozen seconds, the insects in the auditorium had devoured each other. Nearly a hundred large insects as long as arms and with strange mouthparts that looked like suction cups on their bodies were lying on the floor.

Karkaroff snapped his fingers, and they all exploded into blobs of red pulp.

Under Karkarov's control, the slurries floated up, flew in front of him, and were swallowed by him.

When the last bit of liquid was absorbed by Karkaroff, his whole aura changed.

He suddenly laughed neurotically.

"The biggest mistake you have ever made in your life is not stopping me from completing the ritual. This may be arrogance! It's too late to regret now. The true God has come to the world. He has given me power comparable to that of a god..." When he said this, the skin on his chest exploded.

Unlike other teachers and students, the existence under Karkaroff's skin did not burst out of "juice". "He" had already taken shape in Karkaroff's body.

A very thick tentacle emerged from Karkarov's chest, and it felt like something was drilling out - based on ordinary physics knowledge, it was impossible to imagine how such a huge creature could hide inside Karkarov's body, because the tentacle that emerged was as thick as a person.

Krum looked at Rice and the other two anxiously and found that they still had no intention of fighting back, which made him quite confused.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he drew out his wand and tentatively attacked the tentacles that were drilling out.

An explosive spell hit the tentacle, but not even a spark was created.

Karkaroff's head laughed again.

"Victor, stop struggling in vain and accept the blessing obediently. Can't you feel this surging power? Today is the day when I shed the wizard's skin and become a god!"

Apparently, a being from deep within the underworld had wished Karkaroff something extraordinary.

Rice and the other two continued to watch coldly.

After the first tentacle emerged from Karkaroff's body, there was a second and a third...

Soon, eight huge tentacles were wriggling on the teacher's seat. Karkaroff wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly changed.

"No, no! Why do you want to break the contract—" His voice echoed in the auditorium, but stopped abruptly the next second.

Then, what was left of him turned to ashes, and in his place was a giant octopus.

An evil magical force rose into the sky, destroying Durmstrang's protective and concealing magic in just a few seconds, exposing the school hidden in the Scandinavian Peninsula.

Feeling the amazing fluctuations of magic power in front of him, Rice sighed: "The strength of this so-called 'great being' really didn't disappoint. This strength is only slightly inferior to Zeus. The depths of the underworld are really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Athena's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect that such a small sacrifice could bring such a powerful ancient god back to reality. Perhaps the wizard's "power" is much greater.

"It's time to take action." Seeing the resurrected giant octopus turning his gaze towards him, Les also tightened his staff, and Rowena put on the crown.

Two magical powers belonging to the two of them also erupted.

Athena's face turned pale. Under the clash of three powerful magics in front of her, she felt like a small boat sailing in a storm, and she would be swallowed by the waves if she was not careful.

She understood what her mission was today: to survive the aftermath of the fight between these three monsters.

The Underworld Octopus, which returned to reality after devouring Karkaroff and the teachers and students of Durmstrang, obviously did not expect that there would be two such monsters blocking the door at its birthplace.

A trace of regret arose in His heart.

But the arrow was on the string and the die was cast. He could only accept it and fought head-on with Les and Rowena.

However, during the fight, He was also looking for a way to escape.

Les saw what he was thinking and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"If I were the only one here, you could really hold me back for a while, and maybe even get what you want. But now I'm here with Rowena..."

He raised his staff, poured immeasurable magic power into it, and then swung it down fiercely.

An extremely powerful attack was launched.

The magic power of Les's first attack was extremely condensed, and it even directly broke through the barrier between reality and the underworld, allowing the underworld and reality to merge into one in this area. It was unknown how many underworld creatures became innocent victims of the disaster.

As the blow landed, the two tentacles of the giant octopus instantly turned into ashes.

A cold arc appeared at the corner of Rowena's mouth, and she prepared her own attack.

Before the octopus could react, Rice's second attack followed.

This time, His remaining tentacles were also destroyed.

The Octopus was completely panicked. He began to dissipate his own power and tried to return to the underworld, but Les's staff had been raised for the third time. This time, Rowena also followed the pace of her old friend.

The turquoise and dark blue magic powers entangled together, rushing towards the octopus and landing on his big head.

boom--

Athena burst out with divine power and formed a protective layer in front of herself, trying to withstand the aftermath of the fight between the two sides.

However, the shield only lasted for a few seconds before it broke.

By the time Les and Rowena's attacks subsided, Athena was seriously injured.

She didn't even dare to think about what would happen if she faced that horrific attack head-on.

Maybe he would be annihilated before he could even last a second? Athena thought with lingering fear.

As for that terrifying existence that was not much inferior to their father God, he has now been completely wiped out from the world by them.
