I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

End of Chapter 184

After Tesla Graves returned to human form, he disappeared into the air like the witch in”Salem Witch Trials”.

Everyone’s nerves, which had been tense since they stepped into the Woolworth Building, finally relaxed a little.

Compared to the Aurors who began to smile and look slightly relaxed, Ives, Professor Flitwick and Mr. Cone, who knew the inside story, still had a faint sense of crisis lingering in their hearts.

Although the Obscurus transformed by Graves has been defeated, there are still other Obscurans deployed by his associates at Congress headquarters that need to be dealt with.

There are more than a hundred floors inside the Woolworth Building and underground floors. The space is so large. How can they find those Obscurs? Or is their previous guess wrong.

Ives was thinking about all the possible places in his mind, the Auror’s office, the Chairman’s office or…

His eyes unconsciously wandered inside the dilapidated building. Suddenly, he saw the magic tower hanging high in the air. Exposure threat level clock.

This huge four-sided clock was not greatly affected by the battle just now, and the gears in its center are still running at this moment.

On the huge clock dial, the magic exposure threat level that was supposed to change due to the death of Graves not only did not drop to”Unexplainable Severe Situation”, but the three hands moved towards the deepest point of”Emergency Situation”. Go, as if to remind them: time is running out.

Ives became more and more anxious. Now they could only resort to clumsy methods and check each floor.

After briefly explaining the current situation to Picquery, Picquery’s expression immediately became serious. He summoned all the Aurors and assigned them to each floor.

Just when Ives was about to leave for his assigned floors, the double-sided mirror in his arms shone slightly.

He took out the double-sided mirror. On the opposite side of the mirror was Dumbledore. He was in a solemn conference room, with the flags of various Ministry of Magic hanging behind him.

“New York is now in danger of destruction, and I need international help.”A familiar voice came

“If I heard you right, that is an internal matter within your MACUSA.”

“That’s right, Obscurus, I haven’t heard this word in a long time.”

……

Dumbledore was surrounded by noisy and arguing voices.

Judging from the background, he must be at the headquarters of the International United Wizards, because Ives just caught a glimpse of O’Brien, who was blushing because of the quarrel.

Dumbledore frowned slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

In an instant, Ives couldn’t hear other people’s voices.

Dumbledore said with a serious expression:”Avis, Nico asked me to bring you a message from the ninth floor underground.”

Who is Nico? Nico Flamel?

“As soon as possible, time is running out.”

He cut off the contact before Ives could ask carefully.

Ives rubbed his chin. If that sentence was really what Nico Flamel conveyed to Dumbledore, it means that the remaining Obscurans must be in Congress. The ninth floor underground.

Although Nicolas Flamel is famous for his alchemy, he also went very far in divination. Judging from the original work, he predicted in advance the scene of Grindelwald destroying Paris with fierce fire. Then he arrived in time to resolve the crisis with Newt and the others.

It was not surprising that he could predict the crisis in New York City now.

Ives hurriedly called Picqueri and Professor Flitwick to convey the important news. give them

“Nine floors underground? Picqueri wondered:”Isn’t there just a stone arch there? Why did Graves set the explosion site there?””

“No matter why the Purifiers wanted to blow up the place, the top priority was to get rid of this big trouble as soon as possible.”Professor Flitwick quickly stopped him from continuing to explore.

“That’s true. Picquery reacted. He raised his arms and motioned for everyone to come closer and put their hands on his arms.”I’ve been there. I’ll take you to apparate there.””

“Um.”

The three of them replied at the same time, and then they all put their hands on his arms.

A few seconds passed, but nothing happened.

“I can’t directly apparate to the ninth floor.” The expression on Picquery’s face suddenly changed,”The space there has become unstable due to the magic of the Obscurus Riots, and I can’t sense the specific location.”

“Can I go to the eighth floor? Cone immediately said:”Let’s go down from the eighth floor.” Picquery gritted his teeth and seemed to be trying to sense the position of the eighth floor. Then, his face lit up with joy:”Okay.””

The next moment, with the sound of disembodiment breaking through the air, everyone disappeared into the hall.

The four people appeared in a dark passage. There was no time to carefully examine the environment. They flew towards the ninth floor underground under the leadership of Picqueli. And left.

The thumping footsteps sounded heavily in the stairs, and they ran to the ninth floor in less than a minute.

At this time, there were less than five minutes before the Obscurus exploded.

They quickly passed through the long Corridor, pushing open the black door at the end of the corridor, the four of them finally arrived at their destination.

In the center of the circular room, they saw a large group of obscurities escaping behind and behind the stone arches on the pit. They were exposed. The core that came out flashed a dangerous red light rapidly, like a time bomb whose countdown was about to end, although it was indeed a time bomb in nature.

Huge magic fluctuations spread in this room accompanied by the flash of red light, and the air in this room The magic power of the riot was distorted visibly to the naked eye.

Ives quietly tried his Phantom Flowing Fire. He still remembered that the system’s description of [Phantom Flowing Fire] was: It is not countered by any magic.

“The concept of”any magic” is too broad. If the effect of magic is the same as that of magic riot, can the magic riot of Obscurus be explained as a kind of magic?

As he thought, he can indeed use it here The Phantom Flowing Fire moved.

As he stepped to keep up with Professor Flitwick, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the Phantom Flowing Fire could still be used, he could ensure the safety of the four of them in the worst case scenario.

They Soon they stopped in front of the Obscurus that was about to explode.

As the two oldest wizards among the people present, Professor Flitwick and Mr. Cone, who also had the most profound knowledge and experience, stepped forward to inspect the two masses of Obscurus. status.

Before half a minute, they all shook their heads:”No, it’s too late, it can’t be stopped.””

“It is estimated that there are still three minutes left for the explosion,” Professor Flitwick explained quickly:”The Obscurans are in such a dangerous state that we have missed the best opportunity to stop them. In this state, even if you try to destroy them with magic, it will only make them explode earlier.”

“Come on, we have to evacuate quickly.”As he said that, he turned around, took Ives’s hand, and planned to lead them back to the eighth flo

or, and then use apparation to leave this dangerous place.

“professor.”Aves stopped in place,”I have a way to solve all this.”

Without waiting for Professor Flitwick to ask, he threw away his hand and used Phantom Fire in front of the three of them.

“”You,” Cone and Picqueri opened their mouths in surprise,”You can actually apparate here!” ?”

“Um��Avis nodded, his tone extremely serious,”As long as I move these two groups of Obscurities to a deserted place, New York City will not be destroyed.””

“How much magic is left in you?”Professor Flitwick asked seriously. He knew Avis’s strength very well. He was his disciple after all.

According to Professor Flitwick’s estimation, after the battle with Graves just now, Avis’ body The remaining magic power may only be enough for him to apparate thirty miles, which is a distance that can’t even get out of New York City.

“Professor,” Ives stared into his eyes,”I still have the magic at the bottom of the box, which is enough for me to leave here a hundred miles away.”

“One hundred miles?”Piqueli had an expression of surprise on his face,”Are you sure?”

“Um”

“One hundred miles to the northeast is New York Harbor,” Picquery said hurriedly.”Beyond New York Harbor is the ocean, which is the closest uninhabited place to here.

If you could move the Obscurus there, New York City and the lives of many innocent No-Majs could be saved.”

There are three positioning methods for space transfer magic such as Apparition: one is to go to the place where you have been before, the other is to appear where you can see, and the third is to move in a fixed direction according to the amount of magic input. Migration.

The third positioning method is too dangerous, so under normal circumstances no one will use it. After all, no one knows where it will appear. However,

Picquery has made it clear that the northeast is the ocean, so Avis has nothing to do with it. No more worries

“I will try my best”

……

New York Harbor, the largest seaport in the United States and one of the largest seaports in the world, is located at the mouth of the Hudson River in northeastern New York, facing the Atlantic Ocean to the east. On the Liberty Island next to New York Harbor, there is also the Statue of Liberty in ancient Greek-style clothing. She wears a radiant crown and smiles to welcome the ships approaching the port.

A large number of Muggles are busy here at the moment, and they don’t know what will happen in the next few minutes.

Amidst the roaring sound in the air, countless wizards suddenly appeared here, causing a commotion among the Muggles.

The wizards hurriedly used Muggle expulsion spells to temporarily drive them away.

Due to the death of Graves, Picquery, who had performed well, was temporarily appointed as the director of the Auror Office. Under his leadership, the wizards began to construct defensive magic in place.

At this moment, both Professor Flitwick and Cone were silently praying that Ives would succeed.

Especially Professor Flitwick, who stopped what he was doing and looked to the southwest worriedly.

Obviously he knew very well that the magic power in Avis’s body was no longer enough to support his apparation here, but he still chose to believe in him, just as he had always emphasized: Avis was his disciple and his most proud disciple..

The three people who knew about it silently calculated the remaining time of the explosion, and the last minute passed slowly.

Just as they were disappointed to prepare for the explosion in New York City, a surging flame suddenly appeared in mid-air in front of the Statue of Liberty.

It was Avis, and the three of them cheered inwardly.

The distance was too far, and they didn’t even see clearly that what appeared in the air was actually a phoenix, with each of its claws holding a large mass of Obscurus.

The red light flashing on the core of the two obscurs became more and more rapid.

As soon as the phoenix appeared, it flew quickly towards the sea ahead. Then, when it was level with the sea, it threw the Obscurus in its hand into the sea below. boom! boom!

Two deafening explosions were heard, and the entire Free Continent began to tremble, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The wizards who maintained defensive magic staggered and were about to fall to the ground.

“Hold on to the magic in your hands!”Piqueli shouted angrily.

Hearing this, they didn’t care about anything. Even if they fell to the ground and fell, they did not stop the magic power they were outputting.

In full view of everyone, the originally calm Atlantic Ocean showed no sign of any signs. A water basin appeared on the ground. The water line in the center of the basin was dropping sharply, as if there was a water outlet on the seabed, which was rapidly draining the sea water.

But everyone who knew about it knew that this was caused by the explosion of Obscurus. That area The seawater directly vaporized and disappeared under the power of the Obscurus explosion, resulting in the formation of a bubble about a kilometer in diameter. This bubble rose rapidly and finally vacated the sea surface, and the cavity formed by the bubble was rapidly being replenished by the surrounding seawater..

This caused a huge depression to appear here.

But this did not end. The explosion of Obscurus also caused the surrounding seawater to instantly rise into the air. The seawater gathered together to form a huge wave hundreds of meters high.

The huge wave went straight Rushing towards the shore, with the power of destroying the world!

Under this power, all the wizards were stunned. They had never seen such a scene.

“Hold on to the magic!”Piqueli shouted again.

The wizards solidified their bodies and minds and continued to pour magic into the defensive magic in front of them.

With their efforts, the physical shield built by magic gradually formed a defensive wall on the coast. This defensive wall It collided with a huge wave hundreds of meters high, causing a thousand waves!

The huge wave crashed on the magic shield, causing a burst of explosions.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the magic they maintained was crushed to pieces.

The wizards hurriedly apparated backwards. This was only their first line of defense, and there were several lines of defense behind them.

In order to save New York City, O’Brien sent all congressional officials out.

In their fight and retreat , the Statue of Liberty, located in the Free Continent, suffered a disaster.

The moment the huge waves rolled in, she was destroyed, and her head was separated from the body and fell into the sea water.

The tsunami was unstoppable, carrying the huge waves and continuing to pour in. The city of New York.

Several skyscrapers were smashed with gaps, cement blocks were constantly being swept into the sea water, and the defense lines built by the wizards were also being destroyed one by one.

As they watched in despair, the huge waves in front of them were crashing into New York City. At that moment, a white figure appeared in front of him

“Freeze it.”

I saw him holding the weird knotted wand high, cold air gushing out from the tip of the wand, and the monstrous wave was slowly frozen from bottom to top.
