Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

The towering, three-meter-tall skeleton instantly burst forth with astonishing speed, each step creating a large crater, giving the impression of an enraged armored rhino.

"Get out of the way!"

Faced with this fierce charge, none of them had the confidence or courage to intercept it, and Cedric could only shout a reminder.

The others reacted quickly, immediately diving to either side.

This vanguard skeleton charged forward twenty or thirty meters in just over two seconds, ruthlessly destroying everything in its path, its feet carving a trail of shattered stones. The process even generated a violent burst of air, causing the entire indoor plaza to be filled with dust.

After seeing the terrifying destructive power it displayed, the five people who had just dodged it head-on couldn't help but gasp.

Good heavens, did this thing have to be so scary? When it ran, it was like a train, pulverizing everything in its path.

However, after completing its charge, the vanguard skeleton seemed to need to readjust its posture, giving the others some time to breathe.

"Use Transfiguration spells, like that giant skeleton!" Hermione shouted as she got up, clearly realizing that it would be difficult to defeat it under normal circumstances.

"Watch me!"

Fred responded immediately upon hearing this, then shook his wand, pointing it at the ground beneath the vanguard skeleton's feet.

The others didn't hesitate after getting up, and began to cast spells continuously. At this moment, the skeleton was facing away from them, perhaps attacking its back could cause some damage.

Several Confrigo spells, along with Transfiguration spells, were cast simultaneously, but the vanguard skeleton reacted quickly, immediately raising its shield, blocking all the spells.

But at this moment, a three-meter radius around its feet had turned into a pool of mud, but because only Fred was casting the spell, the mud was not as deep as expected.

Seeing this, the vanguard skeleton didn't waste any words, directly raising the spear in its hand and heavily slamming it into the ground.

"Boom!"

The mud underfoot splashed in all directions with a loud bang, and the vanguard skeleton took advantage of the momentum to leap, directly jumping out of the range of the Transfiguration spell.

Seeing that the Transfiguration spell had failed to work, everyone's hearts tightened. It seemed that this guardian was more intelligent than they had imagined, and previous tactics were no longer effective.

And its almost impenetrable defense made everyone feel helpless, even Cedric was not sure whether the bone hammer in his hand could break through the protection of that shield.

However, at this critical moment, Fred cleverly turned his head to look at George behind him, glared at him forcefully, and then turned to the door.

Seeing Fred's actions, Cedric instantly woke up.

That's right, they didn't actually need to fight this skeleton to the death. The purpose of their trip was the princess. As long as they rescued the princess, it wouldn't matter if they all died here!

After figuring out the key, Cedric immediately shouted, "Everyone pay attention, now we will do everything we can to hold the enemy back and buy time for George!"

Hearing his words, everyone instantly understood what he meant, and George in the distance rushed towards the door without stopping.

Seeing someone approaching the door, the vanguard skeleton immediately roared angrily, pulled the spear in its hand back with force, and then threw it out fiercely like a javelin, the target being George at the far end.

After this spear was thrown, it immediately emitted a dazzling red light, and a layer of flame ignited on the spear shaft.

"Bang!"

Seeing the vanguard skeleton's plan, Cedric naturally couldn't let it succeed, immediately stepped forward and swung the giant hammer in his hand, trying to deflect the spear.

When the giant hammer came into contact with the flame spear, Cedric felt as if he was competing with a battering ram, but he was going all out at this moment, using almost all his strength.

Fortunately, the attributes of the bone hammer were indeed excellent, coupled with the strength bonus of the giant belt, it still barely deflected the javelin, causing it to stab into the ceiling at an angle.

At the same time, the others once again cast spells on the vanguard skeleton, but this time they didn't use Confrigo spells that focused on killing, but rather spells that could restrict the opponent, such as binding spells, freezing spells, and impediment jinxes.

However, facing the various spells of the crowd, the vanguard skeleton simply raised its shield as usual and easily took them, the various freezing, binding, and impediment effects produced were not obvious, obviously this shield, in addition to its strong defense, also had considerable magical defense capabilities.

After withstanding the attacks of the crowd, the vanguard skeleton raised its hand and made a grasping motion, as if summoning something.

Before long, everyone saw that the spear, which had been deeply inserted into the ceiling, actually returned the same way, flying directly back into the vanguard skeleton's hand.

"Damn it, this javelin can actually be recalled? Doesn't that mean it also has ranged attack methods?" Fred's face was extremely ugly at this moment.

However, there was some good news for them at this time, the time that everyone had delayed had already allowed George to approach the door.

"Alohomora!" George used an unlocking charm on the door, and then pushed the door open.

Compared to the large square outside, the room behind this door seemed quite small, looking like a bedroom.

Of course, the furnishings inside were also similar to a bedroom, and lying on the bed in the bedroom was the target of their mission.

But when George saw the appearance of this princess, he couldn't help but collapse and exclaim, "Are you kidding me! This princess is a dog?"

"Who the hell are you calling a dog?"

At this time, Hogg, who was leisurely lying on the bed wearing a tutu, looked at George with a disgusted expression.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the one who could enter my princess's room would be you, kid." Hogg rolled his eyes at George, "What are you standing there dumbfounded for? Hurry up and rescue me, I don't want to miss tonight's late-night snack."

"No..." George was almost speechless after seeing that the so-called princess was actually Hogg, "With your skills, can that broken skeleton outside stop you?"

"Idiot, don't you know what acting is?" Hogg glared at George unhappily, "Let me tell you, my princess's persona is very delicate, I can't even walk by myself, hurry up and carry me on your back, I don't want to miss tonight's late-night snack."

"Damn it!"

Hearing Hogg say 'I' all the time, George didn't know how to complain, but he knew how tense the situation outside was now, and that someone might be injured for every second they delayed.

Thinking of this, George could only reluctantly walk forward and carry Hogg on his back.

"Damn it, you seem to need to lose weight, are you too heavy?" George, carrying Hogg on his back, felt as if he was carrying several sacks of cement, "Can't you transform? Why don't you just turn into a puppy, that way we can all save some trouble."

"Fool, I'll tell you clearly, my mission is to make at least one of you lose combat ability." Hogg laughed, "Also, you better be careful, I'm very precious as a princess, if anyone attacks me, it will be considered a failure of your mission."

"Damn it!"

After Hogg lay on George's back, he wasn't honest, and always liked to stick his head out to look around, which made George feel even more strenuous.

But now he could only grit his teeth and carry this master out.

At this time, on the square outside, the battle between several people and the vanguard skeleton had entered a white-hot state.

Since Terrence and Hermione couldn't intervene in the battle at all, and the Guardian Battleaxe was their most important guarantee, Cedric let the two retreat to the edge.

The frontal battle was the responsibility of Cedric, Penelope, and Fred, but they were fighting very hard at this time, or rather, they were being beaten very hard.

The vanguard skeleton was far superior to them in terms of speed, reaction, and strength, so it was difficult for them to directly attack the opponent's body, even Cedric risked getting close to try a few times, but he had no way to deal with the opponent.

So their battle at this time was like playing whack-a-mole, but these three were the moles, and several people were being chased around by the vanguard skeleton.

In addition, the spear in the vanguard skeleton's hand was extremely sharp, and the attack method that could be thrown and retrieved could not be taken head-on, and they could only avoid it as much as possible.

Seeing George actually carrying a dog out of the room, the people in the fierce battle couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Merlin's beard, don't tell me the princess is Hogg, this bastard?" Fred's reaction at this time was similar to George's, both with a look of collapse.

"Yo, everyone is busy." Hogg, who was lying on George's body, was as if nothing had happened, and even had the mind to say hello to others.

After saying that, Hogg also sarcastically ridiculed, "It seems that you guys are not very good, it's so difficult to deal with just a small skeleton."

"Bastard!" Even Cedric, who had a fairly good temper, was a little annoyed by Hogg at this time. They had worked so hard to run here, just to save this cheap dog?

But at this critical moment, Cedric quickly regained his senses, "George, your task now is to take Hogg away, don't worry about us, Terrence and Hermione pay attention to cover, don't be stingy with skills when there is danger."

"Understood!" Terrence nodded, he knew that the other party was referring to the battleaxe in his hand.

George didn't hesitate at this time, carrying Hogg out, preparing to return the way he came.

But just then, an accident happened.

It wasn't that the vanguard skeleton suddenly went berserk or anything, but that another team of figures appeared on the other side of the square, it was Percy and the others from the third squad.

Percy, who suddenly appeared, didn't expect it to be so lively here, the entire indoor square was almost beaten into ruins.

At the same time, he didn't expect that Cedric's team was actually ahead of them, even though they had been advancing at full speed.

Seeing George in the distance carrying a husky wearing a princess dress, even if it was unbelievable, Percy also recognized that this was the 'princess' mentioned in the mission.

"Go! Don't let George take the princess away!" Percy shouted, and then decisively threw a spell at George.

However, he was too far away from George at this time, and the other party was also in a state of movement, so the spell could not accurately hit.

Seeing this, Percy did not continue to try to cast spells, but led a group of team members to run wildly in the direction of George, at the same time, he was also very cunning and prepared to bypass Cedric and others, he did not want to be entangled by the vanguard skeleton.

Seeing the appearance of the third squad, Cedric's heart also tightened, and he didn't expect that the thing they were most worried about had happened.

But he would not watch Percy catch up with George, after a brief thought, Cedric immediately made a decision.

"Terrence, now!" Cedric shouted at Terrence next to him, and then picked up his wand and blasted a 'Incendio' spell at the vanguard skeleton.

"Received!" Terrence heard Cedric's instructions, and activated the Guardian Battleaxe in his hand without hesitation, and even very considerately included Hogg in it.

At the same time, Hermione immediately stood in front of Terrence, her task was to not let anyone interrupt this aura casting.

After being provoked, the vanguard skeleton immediately aimed its spear at Cedric, and once again made a gesture to throw the spear.

Seeing this, Cedric was overjoyed, knowing that his strategy had worked, so he desperately rushed in the direction of Percy and others, it seemed that he was preparing to use a trick to divert the disaster.

Percy on the other side was a little inexplicable when he saw Cedric rushing towards him.

They arrived late, so they didn't know the attack routine of the vanguard skeleton, and at this time they thought that Cedric was preparing to stop them alone.

"Stupefy!"

Seeing Cedric迎up, Percy didn't waste any words, and shot a Stunning Spell at him.

But Cedric was like he didn't want to live at this time, he didn't even dodge the spell flying towards him, and crashed into it.

"Bang!"

Percy's Stunning Spell hit Cedric head-on, but the spell did not directly stun him as expected, but only broke a layer of shield on Cedric's body.

At the same time, the vanguard skeleton's javelin was also launched, and the spear like a fire dragon with a tail flame attacked Cedric.

Cedric, who had been fighting with the vanguard skeleton for a long time, had gradually become accustomed to the opponent's attack mode, so after the javelin was shot, he flexibly flashed to the side, directly giving way to the gap.

But Percy and others on the other side were stunned when they saw the fire spear flying towards them.

"Dodge!"

Although Percy didn't know how strong the attack of the vanguard skeleton was, but seeing Cedric dodge so decisively, how dare he try to take it head-on, so after shouting, he immediately pounced to the side.

However, the four little wizards in the same team as him did not have such a strong ability to respond, Harry and Qiu were very quick to act, and Pansy was lucky enough to not be affected because she was at the end of the team.

But Daphne behind Percy was miserable, the fire spear hit her directly, Daphne didn't even have time to shout before she was instantly killed, and turned into a white light and disappeared from the scene.

This vanguard skeleton only took a little over 2 seconds to sprint twenty to thirty meters forward, ruthlessly destroying everything in its path, leaving a trail of shattered stones underfoot. This process even generated a violent burst of air, causing the entire indoor plaza to be filled with dust.

After seeing the terrifying destructive power it displayed, the five people who had just dodged it head-on couldn't help but gasp.

Good heavens, did this thing have to be so scary? When it ran, it was like a train, turning everything in front of it into powder.

However, after the vanguard skeleton finished its charge, it seemed to need to readjust its posture, giving the others some time to breathe.

"Use the Transfiguration spell, just like that giant skeleton of theirs!" Hermione shouted immediately after getting up. She was very aware that it would probably be difficult to defeat the opponent under normal circumstances.

"Watch me!"

Fred responded immediately upon hearing this, and then shook his wand, pointing it at the ground beneath the vanguard skeleton's feet.

The others didn't waste any time after getting up, and began to cast spells continuously. At this time, the opponent was facing away from them, so perhaps attacking the back could cause some damage.

Several Confrigo spells, along with a Transfiguration spell, were cast simultaneously, but the vanguard skeleton reacted immediately, turning around and raising its shield to block all the spells.

But at this time, a three-meter radius around its feet had turned into a pool of mud. However, because only Fred was casting the spell, the mud was not as deep as imagined.

Seeing this, the vanguard skeleton didn't waste any words, and directly thrust the spear in its hand heavily into the ground.

"Boom!"

The mud under its feet splashed in all directions with a loud noise, and the vanguard skeleton took advantage of the momentum to jump, directly leaping out of the range of the Transfiguration spell.

Seeing that the Transfiguration spell had failed to work, everyone's hearts tightened. It seemed that this guardian was more intelligent than they had imagined, and the previous tactics were no longer effective.

And the opponent's nearly invulnerable defense made everyone a little helpless. Even Cedric was not sure whether the bone hammer in his hand could break through the protection of that shield.

However, at this critical moment, Fred cleverly turned his head to look at George behind him, glared at him forcefully, and then turned to the door.

Seeing Fred's actions, Cedric next to him instantly woke up.

That's right, they didn't actually need to fight this skeleton to the death. The purpose of their trip was the princess. As long as they rescued the princess, it would be worth it even if they all died here!

After figuring out the key, Cedric immediately shouted, "Everyone pay attention, now we will do our best to hold the enemy back and buy George some time!"

Hearing his words, the others instantly understood what he meant, and George in the distance rushed towards the door without stopping.

Seeing someone approaching the door, the vanguard skeleton immediately roared angrily, pulled back the spear in his hand with force, and then threw it out fiercely like a javelin, aiming at George at the far end.

After this spear was thrown, it immediately emitted a dazzling red light, and a layer of flame ignited on the spear shaft.

"Bang!"

Seeing the vanguard skeleton's plan, Cedric naturally couldn't let it succeed. He immediately stepped forward, swung the giant hammer in his hand, and vigorously flicked it towards the spear.

The moment the giant hammer touched the flame spear, Cedric felt as if he was competing with a siege hammer, but he was going all out at this time, using almost all of his strength.

Fortunately, the attributes of the bone giant hammer were indeed excellent, coupled with the strength bonus of the giant's belt, it barely managed to deflect the javelin, causing it to stab diagonally into the ceiling.

At the same time, the others once again cast spells on the vanguard skeleton, but this time they did not use the Confrigo spell, which was mainly for killing, but rather spells such as the Binding Curse, the Freezing Spell, and the Impediment Jinx, which could restrict the opponent.

However, facing everyone's various spells, the vanguard skeleton simply raised its shield as usual and easily took them all, and the various freezing, binding, and obstacle effects produced were not obvious. Obviously, this shield not only had strong defensive power, but also had considerable magical defense capabilities.

After withstanding everyone's attacks, the vanguard skeleton raised its hand and made a grasping motion, as if summoning something.

Before long, everyone saw that the spear that had been deeply inserted into the ceiling actually returned the same way, flying backwards directly into the vanguard skeleton's hand.

"Damn it, this javelin can actually be recalled? Doesn't that mean it also has ranged attack methods?" Fred's face was extremely ugly at this time.

However, there was some good news for them at this time. The time that everyone had been delaying had allowed George to approach the door.

"Alohomora!" George used an unlocking spell on the door, and then pushed the door open.

Compared to the large plaza outside, the room behind this door seemed quite small, looking like a bedroom.

Of course, the furnishings inside were also similar to those of a bedroom, and lying on the bed in the bedroom was the target of their mission.

But after George saw the appearance of this princess clearly, he couldn't help but collapse and exclaim, "Are you kidding me! This princess is a dog?"

"Who the hell are you calling a dog?"

Hogg, who was lying leisurely on the bed wearing a tutu, looked at George with a disgusted expression.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the one who could enter my princess's room would be you, kid." Hogg rolled his eyes at George, "What are you standing there dumbfounded for? Why don't you hurry up and rescue me?"

"No..." George was almost speechless after seeing that the so-called princess was actually Hogg, "With your skills, can that broken skeleton outside stop you?"

"Idiot, don't you know what acting is?" Hogg glared at George unhappily. "I'm telling you, my princess persona is very delicate. I can't even walk by myself. Hurry up and carry me on your back. I don't want to miss tonight's midnight snack."

"Damn it!"

Hearing Hogg say 'I' all the time, George didn't know how to complain, but he knew how tense the situation was outside now. Delaying for even one more second could lead to someone being eliminated.

Thinking of this, George could only walk forward reluctantly and carry Hogg on his back, despite his unwillingness.

"Damn it, you seem to need to lose weight. You're too heavy, aren't you?" George, carrying Hogg on his back, felt as if he was carrying several sacks of cement, "Can't you transform? Why don't you just turn into a puppy? That way we can all save some trouble."

"Fool, I'll tell you the truth. My mission is to make at least one of you lose your ability to fight." Hogg laughed, "Also, you'd better be careful. I, as a princess, am very precious. If anyone attacks me even once, it will be considered a failure of your mission."

"Damn it!"

Hogg wasn't honest after lying on George's back, and always liked to poke his head around to look around, which made George feel even more strenuous.

But now he could only grit his teeth and carry this master out.

At this time, on the plaza outside, the battle between several people and the vanguard skeleton had entered a feverish state.

Because Terrence and Hermione couldn't get involved in the battle at all, and the Guardian Battleaxe was their most important guarantee, Cedric asked them to retreat to the edge.

The frontal battle was the responsibility of Cedric, Penelope, and Fred, but they were also having a very difficult time fighting at this time, or rather, they were having a very difficult time getting beaten.

The vanguard skeleton was far superior to them in terms of speed, reaction, and strength, so it was difficult for them to directly attack the opponent's body. Even Cedric tried to get close to the opponent several times at the risk, but he couldn't do anything about it.

So their battle at this time was like playing whack-a-mole, but these three were the moles, and they were being chased around by the vanguard skeleton.

In addition, the spear in the vanguard skeleton's hand was extremely sharp. The attack method that could be thrown and retracted was something that everyone couldn't take head-on, so they could only avoid it as much as possible.

And when they saw George walking out of the room with a dog wearing a princess dress on his back, the people in the fierce battle couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Merlin's beard, don't tell me the princess is that bastard Hogg?" Fred's reaction at this time was similar to George's, both with a look of collapse.

"Yo, everyone's busy." Hogg, who was lying on George's body, was as if nothing had happened, and even had the mind to say hello to others.

After saying that, Hogg also sarcastically said, "It seems that you guys aren't very good. It's so difficult to deal with just a small skeleton."

"Bastard!" Even Cedric, who had a very good temper, was now annoyed by Hogg. They had worked so hard to run here, just to save this cheap dog?

But at this critical moment, Cedric quickly regained his sanity. "George, your task now is to take Hogg away. Don't worry about us. Terrence and Hermione, pay attention to cover. Don't be stingy with your skills when there is danger."

"Understood!" Terrence nodded. He knew that the other party was referring to the Battleaxe in his hand.

George didn't waste any time at this time, carrying Hogg out, preparing to return the way he came.

However, at this moment, an accident still happened.

It wasn't that the vanguard skeleton suddenly exploded, but that another team of people appeared on the other side of the plaza, it was Percy and the third squad.

Percy, who suddenly appeared, didn't expect it to be so lively here. The entire indoor plaza was almost turned into ruins.

At the same time, he didn't expect that Cedric's team was actually ahead of them. They had been advancing at full speed.

And when he saw George in the distance carrying a husky wearing a princess dress, even if it was unbelievable, Percy could tell that this was the 'princess' mentioned in the mission.

"Go! Don't let George take the princess away!" Percy shouted, and then decisively threw a spell at George.

However, he was too far away from George at this time, and the other party was also in motion, so the spell couldn't hit accurately at all.

Seeing this, Percy didn't continue to try to cast a spell, but led a group of team members to run wildly in George's direction. At the same time, he was very cunningly preparing to bypass Cedric and others. He didn't want to be entangled by the vanguard skeleton.

Seeing the appearance of the third squad, Cedric's heart also tightened. He didn't expect that the thing they were most worried about would still happen.

But he wouldn't watch Percy catch up with George like this. After a brief thought, Cedric immediately made a decision.

"Terrence, now!" Cedric shouted at Terrence next to him, and then picked up his wand and blasted a 'Incendio' spell fiercely at the vanguard skeleton.

"Roger that!" Terrence heard Cedric's instructions and activated the Guardian Battleaxe in his hand without hesitation, and even considerately included Hogg in it.

At the same time, Hermione immediately stood in front of Terrence. Her task was not to let anyone interrupt this aura casting.

The vanguard skeleton, after being provoked, immediately turned its attention to Cedric and once again made a ready-to-throw-spear action.

Seeing this, Cedric was overjoyed, knowing that his strategy had worked, so he desperately rushed towards Percy and others, it seemed that he was going to use the trick of diverting the disaster to the east.

Percy on the other side was a little confused when he saw Cedric rushing towards him.

They arrived late, so they didn't know the vanguard skeleton's attack routines, and at this time, they thought that Cedric was preparing to stop them alone.

"Stupefy!"

Seeing Cedric coming up, Percy didn't waste any words and shot a Stunning Spell at him.

But Cedric was like he didn't want to live anymore at this time, and he didn't even dodge the oncoming spell and crashed into it.

"Bang!"

Percy's Stunning Spell hit Cedric head-on, but the spell didn't directly stun him as expected, it just broke a layer of shield on Cedric.

At the same time, the vanguard skeleton's javelin was also launched, and the spear, like a fire dragon, attacked Cedric with a tail flame.

Cedric, who had been fighting with the vanguard skeleton for a long time, had gradually become accustomed to the opponent's attack mode, so after the javelin was shot, he flexibly flashed to the side, directly giving way to the gap.

But Percy and others on the other side were stunned when they saw the flaming spear flying towards them.

"Dodge!"

Although Percy didn't know how strong the vanguard skeleton's attack was, he didn't dare to try to take it head-on when he saw Cedric dodging so decisively, so he shouted and immediately pounced to the side.

However, the four little wizards in the same team as him didn't have such strong adaptability. Harry and Qiu acted very quickly, and Pansy was lucky enough not to be affected because she was at the end of the team.

But Daphne behind Percy was miserable. The flame spear directly smashed on her body. Daphne didn't even have time to shout before she was instantly killed and turned into a white light and disappeared from the scene.
