Chapter 143: The Flame of Destruction
Walking out of the secret passage, it was already midnight outside, the lights of the castle were reflected on the ground, and there were few stars in the sky, except for a half-hidden lonely moon hanging above the dark sky curtain.
Peter Pettigrew squeezed between Lupin and Ron in desperation, whimpering from time to time, probably the most bizarre of lying combinations, with professors, students, prisoners, and a cat leading the way.
A cloud drifted away. Suddenly a vague shadow appeared on the ground. Everyone was completely bathed in the moonlight. Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Ron, and the others suddenly stopped, and Augustus looked over suspiciously. Blake froze. He held out his arm and motioned for Harry and Hermione to stop moving forward. Harry could see Lupin's silhouette from the side. He stiffened. Then his limbs began to tremble.
Snape paused slightly, his face serious, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you that he didn't take his medicine tonight. "Run," Blake whispered. Come on! Right now!" But Harry couldn't run. Ron is handcuffed to Peter Pettigrew and Lupin. He jumped forward. But Blake grabbed him by the chest and pushed him back. "Let me handle it?? Run!"
A terrible roar. Lupin's head was elongated. His body was the same. His shoulders arched. The hairs on his face and hands were clearly visible, and his hands were curling into claws.
The werewolf was completely still, his green eyes staring at Weasley, who was still leaning against Peter, and the next second, his claws stood erect and flew directly at Ron.
Augustus pulled out his wand, a blue lightning flashed, a shackle composed of lightning, and the werewolf who attacked Ron in mid-air, the thunder third-level spell, the lock of thunder, seemed to play some simple role at this moment.
Before Ron could come to his senses, the werewolf who was locked to the ground actually broke free by relying solely on his strength, and seemed to be a little jealous of Augustus, and the werewolf in Lupin's transformation roared hoarsely twice, and then turned around and fled to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Sirius had already turned into a big black dog and followed Lupin into the Forbidden Forest. Augustus feared that Black would not be able to deal with Lupin, a werewolf, on his own, and went deep into the Forbidden Forest. Harry still had Snape on his side, and even if he and Sirius were gone, Peter wouldn't be able to make any waves.
All the way to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, the dark trees everywhere seem to be completely unable to block Augustus's vision, blessed with the elegance of the wind, swift and agile, under the effect of two spells, even if it is just a simple speed, I am afraid it has reached a frequency of 20 meters per second, the wind is whistling in the ears, through a woodland, not far ahead, the black giant dog transformed by Sirius is constantly blocking the direction of the werewolf.
Augustus pulled out the silver ** staff, and the fourth-level spell cryo ray was released, and an ice-blue linear ripple hit Lupin's body directly, and the werewolf's body was frozen in place, and in the crystal ice, the werewolf's posture was frozen for a moment. The enchantment spell hypnotism was released again, and the red light fell on the frozen body, the freezing effect was dissolved, and Lupin fainted in the clearing at the edge of the forest.
Blake relieved himself from the Animagus and breathed a sigh of relief, "Werewolves' magic resistance is generally relatively high, Mr. Augustus, your magic can fully work, it is really a bit appropriate, a long time ago, in order to control the rage after Lupin's transformation, we all relied on me and Jaime to work together to physically suppress it. It's really difficult to control a werewolf with magic. ”
"In fact, the magic resistance of the werewolf is only a simple elemental resistance, which is relatively high, and if you use arcane magic, it is quite simple to subdue the werewolf." Augustus briefly taught, but apparently Blake didn't seem to understand at all.
The silver ** staff pointed at the sleeping werewolf, the fourth-level plastic energy spell Tamson Floating Disc was released, and a translucent flying saucer-shaped disc held up Lupin, and Augustus and Blake walked in the direction of the castle one after the other.
In the dark night, the two of them walked out of the Forbidden Forest with a wolf, the fog was filled, and a trace of cold chill surrounded them, Augustus seemed to sense something, and frowned slightly.
"Something doesn't seem right, the fog is too thick here." Augustus turned his head to look around.
"It's a familiar feeling. It's the Dementors, Harry, they're in danger! "Blake is very sensitive to Dementors, and he can already sense the presence of Dementors just by simply changing the environment.
Discerning the direction, Sirius sped straight towards the lake outside the castle. Augustus directly released a phantom shifter, and instantly came to the lake.
Jewels, at least a hundred, black and black, surrounded Harry and a few people around the lake, Snape's Patronus Charm was very effective, at least delayed the attack of a dozen Dementors, but it was obviously not enough, the dense Dementors continued to surge in the darkness, the moonlight seemed to be frozen, and the surroundings were full of white mist.
The Dementors were approaching, less than ten feet away from them. They formed a solid wall around Harry and Hermione, and they were getting closer and closer, "Calling the Gods!" Harry screamed, trying to stop the screams in his ears. "Divine Guard!" His wand emitted a silver ray of light, swaying in front of him like mist. Hermione and Ron had fallen to the ground, seemingly crushed by the Dementors' negativity. Only Snape and Harry could barely stand by the lake.
Augustus's silver pupils were full of anger, these filthy creatures of darkness, maybe the lesson they had learned last time wasn't deep enough, if it weren't for the slightest concern for the Ministry of Magic, the Quidditch Cup could have wiped them all out that time. It seems that even with the deterrent effect of the Word of Light, these hungry Dementors have completely lost their minds.
The silver ** staff pointed to the sky, a fiery red six-pointed star array formed at the feet, the dark sky began to turn crimson, the cold lake ignited a slight heat wave, the clouds in the sky seemed to burn, and the warmth drove out the darkness and coldness. In the next second, the heat wave was churning. Countless huge green fireballs fell from the sky, and the Dementors gathered around them were hit by the green fireballs that fell from the sky, and from under the cloak, they completely burned. Chaotic Fire Rain, Fire Level 9 Spells, Green Flame Ignited by Fireballs, and Additional Soul Burning Effect All have a very huge effect on pure demonic creatures. Not to mention these low-level Dementors. In just a few tens of seconds, the surrounding Dementors had been burned to the ground, and only wisps of green smoke remained in the air.
