Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 24 The Hunt Begins

"Hey, look who this is?" Mike approached Hermione slowly, "Oh! A little tabby cat."

Hermione didn't respond when she heard Mike's voice, but turned her head quickly so that Mike couldn't see her face, and at the same time wiped her hands on her face, trying to prevent Mike from finding out that she had just cried.

Seeing Hermione's posture, Mike couldn't help but think of his daughter in the previous life, thinking that Trish was wronged in the same way.

"Whoever bullies you, I'll kick their ass." Mike handed over a handkerchief, "Don't keep wiping your eyes with your hands, it's not good for your eyes. You don't want to wear big glasses like Harry, do you?" ? That would be ugly."

Listening to Mike's gentle words, Hermione felt that the tears she had finally held back flowed down again.

"They all hate me!"

Mike put one hand on Hermione's back and patted it gently. The child coughed so much from crying.

"It's okay, don't you still have me? I will always be your friend."

Hearing the sound, Hermione turned her head and threw herself into Mike's arms, crying loudly. Tears and snot soon soaked the robe on Mike's chest.

Mike hugged Hermione who was crying in his arms, patted her on the back, and kept saying what he said to coax his daughter in his previous life.

It took a long time for Hermione to stop crying, but she did not leave Mike's arms, buried her face in Mike's chest and said in a muffled voice:
"Am I particularly annoying?"

"Whoever said it, you tell me who said it, and I'll kick his ass."

"No one says that about me, it's just me who thinks so."

The poor little girl is still protecting her friend, afraid that Mike will really kick Ron's ass.

Mike was very good at coaxing children. He had accumulated a lot of experience in his previous life, and he could coax Hermione to stop crying with just a few words.

"Okay, today is Halloween! Let's go to the auditorium quickly." Mike took Hermione's hand, "You shed a lot of tears today, you must eat more later."

Hermione hit Mike reproachfully, but she didn't refuse him to hold her hand.

Mike led Hermione to turn left and right in the castle. At the beginning, Hermione didn't care. After a while, Hermione finally noticed the abnormality.

"This doesn't seem to be the way to the lobby?"

"Really? Maybe I remember wrongly."

It was part of Mike's plan to play with Hermione casually.

Take Hermione to find the troll together, and immediately let Hermione go to the professor after finding it, and deal with the troll by himself.

In this way, even if you can't beat the giant monsters, you can wait for the professors to come to support you, which is an insurance policy.

Hermione didn't suspect him, and was led forward by Mike.

Finally, after turning a corner, a 3-meter-tall humanoid monster appeared in front of the two of them.

"Go to the professor for help, I'll stop him here." Mike let go of Hermione's hand.

"No! You have to go with me!"

"Don't let it wander around the castle, go!"

Mike spoke to Hermione in a commanding tone.

Startled by Mike's harsh tone, Hermione's eyes turned red again, but instead of letting the tears fall, she turned and ran towards the hall.

Mike watched Hermione disappear around the corner, turned around to face the troll in front of him, and the black prickly pear wand had already appeared in his hand silently.

The hunt begins!

Mike liked hunting very much in his previous life. He once went to Africa to hunt large animals such as lions and rhinos, and he knew the tricks of dealing with these large creatures very well.

"Legs stiffened to death!"

A leg-locking curse accurately hit the troll's right leg. To deal with such large creatures, it is necessary to find a way to slow down their movement speed.

Because you can't kill them with one blow, and they usually become more ferocious after being injured, and you can't run the trolls on your own two legs.

I saw that the right leg of the troll who was studying the door of the women's toilet twitched violently after being hit by the leg-locking spell, but it didn't close with his left leg.

It forcibly broke free from the leg-locking curse just now.

Just as the troll was scratching his head wondering why his leg was cramping, two more leg-locking spells hit its right leg.

This time, under the effect of two leg-locking spells, its right leg finally fit together with its normal left leg at a weird angle.

Mike even heard a crack, which he was sure was a broken bone.

The giant roared in pain, and with this lion-like roar, the giant fell down.

The fallen troll finally found Mike, the little bug that caused him great pain.

It endured the great pain, crossed its hands and its intact left foot, and approached Mike at a fast and unscientific speed.

Mike immediately started running to the side, while running, he kept releasing the heavy curse of obstacles.

This kind of mobile casting requires superb shooting skills to hit a moving target, and normal wizards will probably miss it in all likelihood.

But Mike is different. He was a well-known sharpshooter in the industry in his previous life.

I saw that the twisted and crawling monster was getting slower and slower, and every time an obstacle fell heavily on it, it would let out a roar.

The way it's moving now is hurting its right leg a lot, almost every twist and turn has a sharp pain coming from its right leg.

Gradually, the troll's movement speed was reduced to the same level as Mike's running speed under Mike's continuous release of the obstacle-ridden spells.

Seeing this, Mike no longer released the obstacles, but instead used Quick Imprisonment, which is a spell that can imprison the whole body of a creature.

As the imprisoning spells fell on the two arms of the giant monster, the giant monster finally stopped.

Its hands were tightly bound behind its back, and it let out an unwilling roar as it watched Mike who was still strengthening the spell not far from him.

After confirming that the troll could not break free in a short period of time, Mike came to the troll panting heavily. The movement and casting just now consumed a lot of his physical strength.

The giant monster in front of it was still roaring, and as it roared, a stench ten thousand times more disgusting than the women's toilet that hadn't been cleaned for many years rushed into Mike's nasal cavity.

Mike almost spit out from the smoke, and quickly pinched his nose.

At this time, the giant monster looked very miserable, and the right leg that was still clinging to the left leg was twisted in a strange posture.

In the process of crawling just now, the broken bone in the right leg has already pierced the flesh, and a huge wound was drawn on the right leg. The blood was flowing like a stream, and it formed on the ground after a while. There was a large spread of bright red.

Looking at the troll in front of him who was in miserable shape and still roaring at him, Mike raised his right hand holding the wand, aimed at the giant's mouth and cast his strongest spell so far.

"Burning flames!"

A red and yellow flame gushed out from the tip of the black prickly pear wand, engulfing the troll's huge head in an instant.

Flames poured into the troll's mouth along its open mouth, burning its mouth and throat.

The giant monster kept struggling in pain, and screamed continuously in its mouth.

But the more it opened its mouth, the more flames poured into its throat.

Mike controlled the flame and approached it step by step. With the help of the greedy necklace on his chest, he could clearly feel the magic power in his body flowing from his whole body to his wand.

But in the process, some of the magic will break away from the flow of magic and eventually dissipate in the air.

Mike tried his best to control the dissipated magic power and followed the large forces into the wand. These magic powers were extremely difficult to control, and Mike felt his head was about to explode.

At this time, the greedy necklace on his chest exuded a burst of coolness, which relieved the pain and made it within the acceptable range of a Mike.

As more and more magic power was controlled into the wand, the flames burning the troll began to gradually change color.

Eventually the flames change from red and yellow to a bright yellow that's close to white.

This bright yellow flame was extremely powerful, and in just a few seconds, it caused more damage to the troll than the sum of the previous red and yellow flames.

Soon the troll lost its voice, Mike continued to burn for a while worriedly, and stopped the release of the flame spell until he was sure that the troll was dead.

This hunt was won by Mike!
