Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 124 Duel
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience became excited again, and they all raised the armbands in their hands to signal Lockhart to choose themselves.

Professor Flitwick received Lockhart's hint, and did not embarrass Lockhart. He turned his eyes directly to Mike in the audience and said loudly: "Mr. Mike Townley, please come up."

Mike was not surprised by this. With a slight movement of his wand, the Levitating Charm was quietly released. In everyone's envious eyes, he floated to Professor Flitwick's side like a leaf, quietly waiting for his opponent.

The first contestant had already been decided, but Lockhart had a difficult time with the remaining one. With so many waving hands in the audience, he really didn't know who to choose.

At this moment, a slender and handsome boy was dragged and pushed to the edge of the stage by a group of Hufflepuff students.

Lockhart's eyes lit up the moment he saw the boy, and he announced loudly, "Mr. Cedric Diggory, please come up!"

Hearing that the group of Hufflepuff students cheered for a while, Cedric shook his head with a wry smile. He had heard about Mike's strength for a long time. To be honest, he really didn't want to fight against Mike, but he The students are so enthusiastic.At this point, Cedric was no longer distressed, and took out his wand and stepped onto the stage.

His approach to the stage was very similar to that of Professor Flitwick, who also used Transfiguration to conjure a huge stone hand and send himself up.But his level of transfiguration is obviously not as high as Flitwick's. The movement of the stone hand is very stiff, and there are many stone chips falling down during the joint rotation.

When Cedric stood firm, Lockhart and Flitwick left the stage one after another, leaving only Mike and Cedric on the stage.

The two people on the stage did not communicate. They bowed to each other according to the dueling etiquette demonstrated by Flitwick and Lockhart before, and the two occupied each side of the stage, standing solemnly.

The huge light words above the stage kept counting down, and everyone in the audience held their breath.

Mike looked at the boy opposite him vigilantly with [-] points of energy. Although Cedric was killed by Wormtail with the Death Curse in the first meeting in the original book, this does not mean that he is weak. In fact He is the strongest of all the students at Hogwarts today.

You must know that the Goblet of Fire's mechanism for selecting warriors is to select the strongest, and Cedric is a warrior selected from countless Hogwarts students.If he hadn't been killed by Wormtail later, Cedric would almost certainly have achieved a great career.

As the light words exploded, the two people on the stage moved at the same time.

"Disarm you!" "Armor protection!"

The two completed the release of the spell almost at the same time. Mike's disarming spell hit the transparent shield in front of Cedric, bursting into a red glow.

The Hufflepuff students in the audience breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. After resisting Mike's disarming spell, the shield in front of Cedric only showed dense cracks and did not dissipate. Now Cedric's situation A piece of good.

But is this really the case?
There was a sneer at the corner of Mike's mouth. The Wind Speed ​​Curse had already been activated. Mike stepped sideways and came directly to the other side of the stage. At the same time, he said softly, "The stone spear appears."

Cedric on the other side should have sensed the abnormal movement under his feet through his magic perception, and frantically activated the transformation technique, only to see a stone pillar suddenly protruding from the ground, flying Cedric out of the top, narrowly dodging Mike's ground stab technique.

"Tsk!"

Mike clicked his tongue in the distance, and kept moving his hands. After a while, several lavender fireballs the size of ping pong balls roared towards Cedric.These fireballs were all remotely controlled by Mike's mental power, no matter how Cedric dodged, he was still blown upright.

"Boom!"

The continuous explosions stirred up a lot of smoke that blocked everyone's sight. Many Hufflepuff students in the audience closed their eyes in pain, as if they couldn't bear to see Cedric's tragic situation.

Yet again they guessed wrong.

Three stone arrows shot out of the smoke and shot towards Mike.

With a wave of Mike's wand, the armor body was released, and only three crisp sounds were heard, and all three arrows were blocked.

However, more arrows have been shot out of the smoke. Mike stepped on his feet continuously, using the movement speed brought by the Wind Speed ​​Curse to zigzag on the stage to avoid the arrows while still keeping his hands, one by one. The lavender fireball quickly emerged from the black prickly pear wood wand, counterattacking in the direction of the arrow.

The smoke on the stage was also gradually dissipating, and Cedric was constantly transforming the stone floor of the stage into arrows and shooting at Mike.Seeing the fireball coming again, Cedric hastily stopped releasing the arrow. With a sharp finger of the wand, the floor around him wrapped towards him as if alive, forming a stone ball to protect it. Inside.

Several fireballs hit the huge stone ball, shattering the fried pieces on the surface of the stone ball, and at the same time, a large amount of smoke was stirred up again.

Mike didn't stop the release of the flame spell, and controlled more fireballs to hit the stone ball, because he could see clearly from his magic vision that his bombing just now didn't hurt Cedric inside the stone ball.

The bombing lasted for a full 2 ​​minutes before Mike stopped panting heavily. However, Mike hadn't rested for a long time, and arrows shot at him again.

Trying to avoid the arrow, Mike's heart gradually sank.

My own magic power was about to bottom out, and the bombing of the wavelength time just now didn't hurt a single hair of Cedric when Cedric continued to thicken the stone ball.

His legs were already aching from using the Wind Speed ​​Curse for a long time, and Mike only felt his mouth was full of rust, which was a sign that his physical strength was approaching its limit.

Cedric's defensive power is really amazing, and if he continues like this, he will probably be consumed to death by him.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Professor Flitwick in the audience, seeing the somewhat disappointed expression on his face, Mike's heart twitched violently.

"No, you must not lose!"

Gritting his teeth, Mike squeezed the remaining magic power in his body and used the last flame spell.

A purple fireball the size of an egg appeared on the tip of Mike's ground stick. As Mike continued to infuse magic power, the color of the fireball continued to deepen, and finally turned into a dark purple fireball the size of a heart.

This fireball doesn't seem very stable, it keeps beating like a real heart, and every time it beats, it emits an astonishing amount of heat.

"bo!"

The dark purple fireball fell off the tip of Mike's staff and flew towards Cedric.

And after releasing the fireball, Mike collapsed to the ground, forced himself into a hole he blew up before, and curled up into a ball.

Mike knew very well what kind of terrible damage this dark purple fireball could cause. This was already Mike's most destructive spell so far. If Cedric could block this blow, Mike would be willing to admit defeat.

The moment Professor Flitwick saw the fireball, his face changed drastically. With a flick of his wand, he pulled Cedric and Mike, who were on both sides of the stage, to his side. shrouded.

"Boom!"

As the dark purple fireball hit the stone wall that Cedric had built before, the powerful explosion energy carried a large amount of gravel and hit the transparent shield, and everyone in the audience stared dumbfounded at a burst of dazzling light that lit up from the stage. The brightness was so high that the entire auditorium was darkened.

When the light dissipated, everyone saw that the transparent shield covering the stage was covered with cracks, and at this moment, most of the stage had disappeared, and the place where Cedric was originally was turned into a deep pit. There is fiery red magma flowing slowly at the bottom.

Cedric stared blankly at the big pit, tremblingly said:
"I... I lost."
