In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 187 185. Sir Nicholas Never Lies
Just as Scarbio released the owl, Jon and the others had reached the stairs leading to the second floor.

The entire first floor has been searched by Nick first, and there is no other person or creature there, and now they only focus on dealing with the Auror upstairs.

Jon raised his wand, poked his head out from the invisibility cloak, and winked at Nick, who understood and floated towards the second floor.

At this time, Scarbio was leaning against the wall on the same side as the door, with half of his face turned sideways, holding his wand tightly in his hand, and his eyes were always fixed on the position of the stairs.

Without any sound of footsteps, Nick just floated to the second floor without a sound, and one person, one ghost, suddenly looked at each other unprepared!
No matter how cautious Scabio was, he would never have thought that there would be a ghost to cooperate with the infiltrators. The moment Nick saw him, he yelled.

"He found us! It's in the room directly opposite after going up the stairs!"

Scarbio couldn't stop his act of conveying information. Most of the wizard's spells were ineffective against ghosts, and he couldn't do any harm to Nick.

Scarbio knew very well that the person he should really attack was the person the ghost was sending the message to!
There was an obvious sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs, and he could easily hear that someone was going upstairs at an accelerated speed, and from the messy footsteps, he could clearly tell that there was more than one person.

The footsteps sounded louder and closer, but suddenly, just when Scarbio felt that the person going up the stairs was about to appear at the stairs, the sound stopped abruptly, and there was still a person in front of him. No one!

He didn't hesitate any longer, he had already decided in his heart that the wizard who rushed up had either used the disillusionment spell on him, or put on an invisibility cloak, and aimed directly at the narrow place at the stairs, swinging his staff and chanting the spell very quickly.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A shot is a death curse!

Even if he hadn't seen the enemy yet, Scarbio didn't intend to hold back the slightest bit, because there must be more than one person rushing upstairs, and even if he wanted to keep alive for interrogation, he had to wait until he survived.

And as the most powerful black magic, the Killing Curse cannot be resisted by any magic, even the Iron Armor Curse is ineffective, it is the best way to reduce the number of enemies at the beginning of the battle!
But that green beam of dead silence passed straight across the space at the head of the stairs, and hit the wall behind, leaving a gap emitting black smoke.

Under the invisibility cloak, Fred's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. Just now, the Death Curse flew by less than five centimeters above his head. If it wasn't for Jon reaching out to stop him when he was about to step on the second floor If he didn't continue to let him go forward and out of the stairs, he would be a dead man by now.

The more he was in this situation, the calmer Jon became. Nick was still floating in the air, reporting the enemy's position loudly to them.

"He's still hiding behind the wall! Right in front of the stairs, at an angle of more than [-] degrees to the left!"

Hearing the exact direction given by Nick, Jon waved his wand without hesitation!

He didn't continue to use Shenfeng Wuying, the opponent was hiding behind the wall, the power of Shenfeng Wuying in his hands was not strong enough to cut the wall, but another spell he knew could do it!

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Fred and Jon's cooperation was perfect, and at the same time he heard the first syllable of the Blast spell, the wand in his hand began to move together!

"Except your weapons!"

"Boom!"

The loud noise roared through the entire second floor along with the dazzling flames!

No matter how fast Scarbio reacted, it was still not fast enough to escape the range of the explosive spell in such a short time, not to mention that the space in the room itself was very narrow, and he had nowhere to hide.

Jon's Explosive Curse is only at the level that ordinary adult wizards can use, but this effect is enough to smash the entire wall to pieces!

At the same time that the wall against which Scarbio's back was close began to burst, a transparent film of light also lit up on his body.

Unlike that idiot McNeil, he is a wizard who has received professional Auror training. He maintains the armor spell to protect himself under any circumstances during the mission. This is the basic quality of a professional Auror.

Since Jon's Explosive Curse didn't directly harm him, the Iron Armor Curse protected him intact, except for some tiny cracks on the light film.

Immediately afterwards, just as Scabio was about to counterattack with the help of the wall collapsing and the dust filled the air, a dazzling red light hit the iron armor on his body again!

Affected by the Disarming Curse, the originally transparent light film also began to turn blood red. Fred's supplementary spell had a very critical effect, causing the cracked Iron Armor Curse to shatter.

The sound of shattering glass was not obvious in the chaos, but it was captured by Jon keenly.

He didn't stay any longer, and quickly rushed up the stairs to the second floor under the cover of dust, while Nick followed Scarbio all the time, passing the location to Jon and the others through voice!
"He ran to the window! The armor curse on his body is gone! Cast the curse in my direction!"

"Passed out!"

"Except your weapons!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jon and Fred waved their sticks at the source when they heard Nick's voice!

Two bright red lights cut through the dust and shot straight towards Scarbio's position.

Scarbio was so tired of this ghost who was always by his side like brown sugar, but there was nothing he could do about it.

When he heard Jon and the others chanting the mantra, he felt overwhelmed and jumped out of the window on the second floor!

He didn't have time to apply buffering magic to the ground, so he could only bear the inertia of the body's fall with his legs straight. His lower body was numb for a while, but he didn't dare to stay where he was for a moment, and turned towards the castle in the middle of the island. direction to run.

Those dementors that he hated so much in the past have now become his only life-saving talisman. As long as he can still enter the castle, he can continue to deal with Jon and the others, waiting for the Ministry of Magic to receive the news and come to support.

The speed of floating is much faster than that of running with legs. Nick has been following Scabio's side all the time, constantly disturbing his mind with some random nonsense.

"Hey, surrender, buddy, Britain has been recaptured by us, the Dark Lord is finished, now you may save your life if you surrender honestly, Sir Nicholas never lies, really."
