Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 52 Claw Marks
Chapter 52 Claw marks

PS: Allow me to brazenly ask for a ticket!
The instant switch of the scene made Mike's heart beat wildly, and the black prickly pear wand hidden in his cuff appeared in his hand with a thought.

"Armor protection!"

The newly learned amulet was released, and with this layer of invisible armor on his body, Mike finally got a little bottom and began to observe his own situation.

There is light blue light everywhere, and because there is no reference, Mike can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.

Suddenly, in the sea of ​​light, a dead tree with a height of more than ten meters, which requires two people to hold it together, appeared not far from Mike.The branches of the dead tree were covered with ravens, and they were staring at Mike below.The raven at the top was particularly huge, and Mike recognized it as the sculpture at a glance.

Now it doesn't look like a sculpture, with dark brown pupils shining coldly, twisting its neck flexibly, looking at Mike with the eyes on both sides of the head in turn.

This weird scene put a lot of pressure on Mike, the wand instinctively waved, and another layer of armor was put on his body.

Unexpectedly, this action seemed to anger the largest raven, and it suddenly spread its wings and uttered a hoarse and ugly cry towards Mike.It was like a signal, and all the other ravens on the dead tree flapped their wings and flew towards Mike like arrows.

Seeing the flock of crows rushing towards him like a dark cloud, Mike couldn't help feeling like a ghost.

Raising the wand high, a blazing white flame shot up into the sky.

The expected scene where the flames engulfed the crows did not appear. These ravens rushed out of the blazing white flames one by one, ignoring the two layers of armor, and continued to attack Mike. .

The first raven quickly hit Mike's body, and the strange thing was that the raven turned into a plume of black smoke and got into Mike's body.

With the penetration of this black smoke, Mike only felt that the magic power in his body began to become uncontrollable, and the flame spell that was being released could no longer be maintained.

And this is just the beginning.

One after another, the ravens turned into black smoke and penetrated into Mike's body, and soon Mike's whole body was enveloped in a thick black.

At first, the magic power in the body could be forcibly suppressed by mental power, but as time passed, the magic power soon boiled like boiled water.

The rampage of magic power brought Mike unbearable pain. After a while, Mike's consciousness began to become blurred, and he was about to pass out.

At this moment, a biting chill came from Mike's chest and went straight to his brain, forcibly pulling his consciousness back from the edge of coma.

As we all know, coma is a protective mechanism of the body, but under the effect of that cold breath, Mike's protective mechanism failed.

So, Mike finally understood today what it meant to live a life worse than death.

Every inch of his body was filled with severe pain like after being bitten by bullet ants, but his consciousness was extremely clear.

What Mike didn't know was that the greed pendant on his chest was emitting a dazzling blue light at this moment, and the black air on his body quickly faded and disappeared under the light of this blue light.

The giant raven on the top of the dead tree saw this scene, and a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the animal in a very human way.

Mike found that his limbs had lost feeling, and a feeling of numbness was spreading from his limbs to his torso.I suddenly realized that I couldn't sit still.If it continues like this, I might die here today, right? Carter, the dead old man who sells batches, didn't he say that the test would not be dangerous?
Mike endured the severe pain and began to try to control the magic power in his body. Seeing that Mike began to shrink his mental power, the cold breath actively attached to Mike's mental power as if he had sanity.

The mental power with this icy breath seems to have the effect of cooling down the magic power. After being swept away, the originally unruly magic power began to quiet down, and Mike's limbs were also slowly regaining consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, the magic power became soft again, and the icy breath attached to the mental power was also exhausted.Without the refreshing effect of the cold breath, Mike only felt that his consciousness was beginning to become confused.

Indistinctly, he could only hear the familiar cry, and a huge bird's claw quickly enlarged in the blurred field of vision, and then there was a burning pain on his face.

"what!"

Mike covered his face and let out a scream, finally passed out.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw four old faces looking down at him. Mike punched instinctively, and one of them screamed and fell backwards.

Hearing this scream, Mike realized that he seemed to have escaped from the sea of ​​light, and hurriedly sat up and groped his face, but his hand was smooth without any scars.

"What happened to your face?" Professor Flitwick asked strangely.

"Just now I saw a giant raven scratch my face!"

"It's okay, the damage you suffered in the test is not real, it's just an illusion created by the raven statue." Carter stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you passed the test."

"What? I passed? How did I pass?" Mike was confused.

"You pass when you are pulled into the illusion by the raven statue. Only those with outstanding talents can trigger the raven statue. The illusion you enter is more like a reward. The longer you stay in it, the more benefits you will get." Big." Mario, who was punched in the left eye by Mike, got up, "I have to say, you are quite strong."

"That's right, feel it carefully. Your magic capacity and spiritual power should have improved." Carter added, "In addition, the idea of ​​meditation should have been imprinted in your head. benefits."

Mike turned on the magic perception, and found that his perception range had increased by nearly three times, and the magic capacity and magic control had also been significantly improved.Not only that, paragraphs of esoteric words also began to emerge in his mind.

Mike didn't know these words at all, but they seemed to carry a magical power. As soon as Mike focused on them, he fell into a deep meditation state.

Not long after entering, Mike woke up with a severe headache.

This meditation state consumes a lot of mental power, and Mike has already consumed a lot of mental power in the illusion before, so it is not surprising that there is an overdrawn phenomenon at this moment.

"It looks like our drinking session is going to be postponed, Felius, please take this kid back to rest, he's mentally exhausted." Seeing this, Mario said helplessly to Flitwick, "Next time you can Absolutely no escape."

"Don't worry, I will definitely accompany you to get drunk next time."

Upon hearing this, Professor Flitwick hurriedly stepped forward to help Mike and walked out of the hut. The space restriction has been released here, and apparation cannot be used.

Mike didn't lose consciousness. Compared with the one in the Forbidden Forest, the mental exhaustion this time is nothing to mention.

The two walked out of the hut quickly, and the little animals who had gathered around the hut to play and play saw Flitwick and Mike as if they had seen something terrifying, and ran away in all directions.

Flitwick felt strange in his heart, but he didn't care. The top priority right now is to get Mike settled as soon as possible.

What they didn't know was that on a tree not far from the hut, a raven didn't run away like other animals, but stared at Mike curiously.

In its field of vision, there is a huge claw mark on Mike's left face that is emitting a dark blue light at the moment.
