Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 126 Mike's Weakness

"The stone spear stands up."

An inaudible sound resounded in the Response Room, and an extremely slender stone thorn with barbs shaped like arrows was drilled out from the foot of a training dummy, directly from the vital part of the training dummy. Pierce in, and then pass through the Tianling Cap.

Although the stone thorn is slender, it is very tough. After being pierced by the stone thorn, the dummy shook a few times involuntarily, but this stone thorn resolutely refused to face the dummy, which perfectly restored the weight of an adult male and weighed about 75 kg. Move, there is no intention of breaking.

Mike, who was sweating profusely, looked at the dummy who had been impaled and tortured, with a smile on his face.After a whole day of hard work, the attack power of the ground stab technique has been greatly improved.

And now the ground stabbing technique is no longer the ground stabbing technique that Cedric could easily see. After research, Mike found that the release of the ground stabbing technique is entirely based on Mike's own spiritual power to guide the magic to perform underground. Improving this mechanism, the current ground stabbing technique is more concealed than before.

However, as if he had thought of something, Mike's smile disappeared suddenly, and he changed into a distressed expression and said, "Not yet! This level can't break through Cedric's defense at all!"

While talking, Mike performed the ground stabbing technique again.

That's right, Mike is currently studying how to break through Cedric's tortoise shell.

After enjoying some food specially prepared by the house elves for this celebration club with only two people yesterday with Professor Flitwick, Mike went straight into the Response Room and began to perfect his spell system.

Previously, Mike was very satisfied with his existing tactical system. The damage included AOE Fire Curse and single-target magic skill Killing Curse.For defense, there is armor and body protection, for false displacement, there is wind speed spell, for concealment, there is phantom spell, for sneak attack, there is ground stabbing technique, and there are many obstacles for control.

In addition, Mike has a lot of spells like smashing bones and removing your weapons that can be used for attack and harassment.It can be said to be an invincible tactic that can fight and run.

Yet Cedric taught Mike a real lesson that night.

Injury spells such as Fire Curse and Ground Stab were all eclipsed in front of the stone shield transformed by Cedric, and the Killing Curse could not be used in front of people.

If this is changed to actual combat, Mike can still rely on the concealment and high mobility brought by the wind speed curse and the illusion spell to carry out the tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy retreating and advancing, the enemy stationing and we harassing, and the enemy weary and fighting tactics.

Anyway, Cedric's attack range is not large, and Mike can easily run out, and the transformation technique does not require magic power to maintain it. If things go on like this, Cedric will eventually be consumed by himself.

But this is not an actual battle, but a duel of wizards in full view.

It's not that Mike is afraid that the audience will look down on him if he uses this tactic, it's just that the scope of the wizard's duel is limited, and he can't use this tactic at all.

And without thinking about Mike, he knows that Cedric's transformation technique can not only be used in defense and attack, if he turns the whole field into a quagmire, the high mobility that Mike is proud of will also become tasteless.

Now Mike also understands his weakness, lacking a powerful single-target damage spell that can be exposed to others.In the final analysis, what I worry about is that my most lethal "fireball" serial bombing can't break through Cedric's defense. As long as I can hurt Cedric in that turtle shell, then all problems will be solved.

For this reason, Mike thought hard for a long time, and even thought of directional blasting, but in the end he chose to start with ground stabbing. After all, he was not a professional in his previous life, and he knew nothing about explosives.

In addition, Transfiguration is also a good breakthrough. As the saying goes, if you can't beat it, join in. Since you can't break the stone tortoise shell, then everyone should be a tortoise together. The duel turned into a boring piss fight.

Thinking of this, Mike regretted that he didn't learn Transfiguration well. Whether it was Cedric's superb defense or Dumbledore's terrifying power to instantly kill the basilisk with a wave of his wand, it proved that Transfiguration can be used at a high level. Definitely a power over most spells.

Speaking of it, although Mike has always said that he has not learned the transformation technique well, in fact, with his profound magic power and huge spiritual power, Mike's transformation technique is also relatively good among the little wizards in the same grade.

After all, the Transfiguration technique in the second grade didn't have too much profound content, it was nothing more than turning buttons into mice and scarabs, it was very simple.

Just say the spell of transfiguration, Vera Verto, and at the same time imagine what you want to change in your heart. The more specific your imagination, the higher the probability of successful transformation.

But this is only the most basic deformation technique. After Mike experimented, he found that this level of deformation technique could not be used in actual combat at all.

Not to mention that he can't control the floor to become a shield at will, even the lions, tigers and other beasts he conjures are just appearances, and they will return to their original appearance with a light punch.

In desperation, Mike had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​fighting poison with fire. He really couldn't figure out how Cedric managed to freely control everything around him to transform.

Dumbledore must be able to do this. After all, he is the strongest white wizard, and he was the professor of transfiguration at Hogwarts before, so he must be proficient in transfiguration.

But you Cedric, a student who has not yet graduated, can do similar things, isn't it a bit exaggerated?
"hu~hu~"

Mike, who tried the ground stabbing technique twice more, stopped his movements panting, came to the rest area in the training room, and collapsed on the sofa chair.

Looking blankly at the group of training dummies pierced by stone thorns, Mike felt extremely thirsty.

He reached out and groped for a while on the desk next to the sofa chair, grabbed a glass and poured it into his mouth.However, the water in the glass had long been drunk by Mike, and no matter how hard Mike tried to pour it, not a single drop of water flowed down.

Throwing the empty glass out, the glass made a dull sound when it fell on the carpet, but it didn't break.

The expected shattering sound of glass did not come, and Mike sighed deeply.

The improvement of ground stabbing still failed.

Although under his efforts, the ground stabbing technique has become a terrifying sneak attack spell, but the most critical penetration is still not enough. If this continues, he will meet Cedric again in the duel contest. I will definitely lose.

Suddenly, a colic in his stomach brought Mike back to reality from a state of contemplation. He looked up at the wall clock, and it was already 10:30 in the evening. Mike realized that he had been in the Room of Response for two full days. I have, and I haven't eaten a drop of rice since this morning.

"Let's go to the rest meeting. There will be no progress if I continue in my own state. Besides, I have class tomorrow."

With that in mind, Mike turned his head and glanced at the bread and sausages brought by Franklin and Penello on the desk. Mike pouted and stood up.

He decided to go to the Hogwarts kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. He couldn't eat the cold sausages and bread.
