Chapter 26: The Duel
Chapter XXVI: The Duel
Although Draco and Ron wanted to pretend to be a little more polite before the duel, they couldn't control the irritability in their hearts when they saw their rivals.
In a few simple words, both sides succeeded in provoking the other's anger.
"Malfoy, come on, how do you fight? Wizard duel, first say the rules so that you don't deny it! ”
Since it was Ron who provoked the head, he was naturally embarrassed to let Harry be the first.
What's more, the first one is Malfoy, and the second one is very likely to be Sephiroth, which is the soft persimmon Ron or can be distinguished.
Sephiroth is such a powerful guy, let's leave it to the mighty and unyielding guy like the savior Harry to face it.
"Huh? You Weasleys are really pure-blooded scum, and you don't remember the wizard duel who abandoned the glory of the family, and fought for honor? ”
Draco, who didn't miss a single opportunity to strike his opponent, suddenly bared his fangs. He also knew that he was the protagonist of this duel, and Ron had stepped up, how could he retreat.
With a sneer, Draco pulled his wand out of his pocket and drew a circle on the ground and placed a [Silence] on the room, duels were commonplace in Slytherin.
"See this circle? You and I will have a duel in it, and the means are not limited. Of course, since we are still students, it is impossible to kill people, so in the event that one party admits defeat, the other side must stop. After the stop, the two sides are not allowed to carry out a sneak attack. By the way, in order to avoid losing and not admitting it, falling out of this circle, or not being able to get up within 10 seconds, is also considered to have lost. If that's all right, come in, Weasley! ”
Tapping his wand at the circle on the ground, which was about 6 meters in diameter, Draco said methodically,
Only a wand duel or something, Draco wouldn't say that. Because even if he did, Gryffindors would still throw their wands and fists when they were in trouble, and some Slytherins would sneak a small dagger on their bodies in case they needed it, so unlimited duels were the best fit for them.
"Without further ado, let's get started, Malfoy."
Feeling a little worried when it came to the end, Ron swallowed and stepped into the side of the circle with his slightly limp legs. He urged Draco to stop talking nonsense, and Ron was worried that he wouldn't have the courage to stand up if he delayed any longer.
It's not scary when you fight, because then you don't have time to think about anything. But the period before the fight began, it was the real torture.
"Hehe~ If you're afraid, it's too late to admit defeat."
Drascience squinted his eyes and pursed his mouth at his father's appearance, raising his chin slightly, pretending to be disdainful, the Weasleys had always been at odds with their Malfoys, and he had long wanted to teach the Weasleys a good lesson.
Draco secretly observed, and although most of Ron's body was shrouded in robes, his pale face and erratic eyes all showed that he was weak. If he didn't have confidence in himself in the battle, his momentum would be three points weaker, and the battles that he could have won would be in suspense, not to mention that he was now facing Draco, who often duels under the influence of Sephiroth.
Ron visually measured the distance between them, and in order to avoid accidentally stepping out of the line, they both stood about a meter away from the edge, so that the distance between the two sides was only about four meters, almost a distance that could be crossed in two or three big steps.
Very good!
Ron clenched his fists, and if his magic failed, he would simply rush up and punch Malfoy's arrogant face.
"So, I'll be the referee......"
"If you don't want to die, stay away, Weasley's broken wand doesn't know you! Duels between wizards don't need any referees! ”
Hermione had just stepped forward, and was immediately confused by Draco's venom, and she had to step aside.
"Okay, I'll count three, two, one, and you'll be able to get started! Three! Two! One, get started! ”
Sephiroth walked to the opposite center of the circle, raised his hand and waved it down.
Nervous, Draco and Ron immediately aimed their wands at each other, and shouted the spell without thinking.
"[Upside Down Admiralty]!"
"[Grinning Hulala]!"
Draco and Ron's voices rang out at about the same time, and their magic shot out from the tip of the staff at the same time, and two strange ghostly lights came to their eyes almost simultaneously.
Draco instinctively got the force on his feet, spun in a sharp circle, and let the magic shoot through.
And Ron didn't have that good life, it's not that he didn't concentrate, he didn't react fast enough, he didn't have enough experience. Draco instinctively moved out of place the first time he shot the spell, but Ron stood stupidly in place, the distance of four meters barely left him time to think at the speed of the spell.
"Ron!"
Harry let out a scream and drew his wand to go up to help.
"No, Harry! This is a wizard duel, and outsiders can't help until the winner is decided. [Legs stiff and dead]! ”
Seeing that Harry was impulsive, Hermione stopped him in a serious way, and a [leg lock charm] fixed him.
Didn't you see Sephiroth over there raise his wand? In the midst of the chaos, the two of them were not confident that they would be able to defeat Sephiroth.
"Humph!"
With an unhappy "snort", Sephiroth lowered his wand, and if Harry dared to interfere against the rules, he would have to give him another look.
"It's okay, Harry, I can hold on! Damn Malfoy, you're going to do it if you have the ability! ”
Hanging with his feet in the air and his head down, Ron struggled and roared, and did not forget to comfort Harry.
"Can you hold on? Isn't that underestimating me? [Flying around]! ”
Taking advantage of the victory, Draco directed small things like the lampstand that had been raised by the [Flying Curse] to smash at Ron, which soon made him blue and swollen.
"Whew, whew~" Ron gasped, his eyes shot a fierce light that chose people to devour, but he gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat.
"Okay, backbone! Then come again! 【Oolong out of the hole】! ”
Draco clapped his hands and praised that the more stubborn the enemy, the more fun it would be. If Ron had thrown in the towel so quickly, then Draco's resentment would have come out.
Draco's wand exploded, and a large black snake slowly swam from the ground towards Ron.
"Hiss~"
The shrill scream caused Ron's pupils to begin to contract sharply, and his back was instantly wet with cold sweat. This snake is not easy to look at, even if it is not a poisonous snake, it is scary enough.
"No, don't come here!"
Now Ron is not calm, he struggles frantically, but unfortunately if the spell is not broken, no matter how much he struggles, it will be useless.
The Black Serpent quickly crawled under Ron's body and coiled into a heap, and Ron began to rejoice that he had a spell like the [Upside-Down Admiralty], which at least kept him away from the viper.
"Tick!" Ron's cold sweat was gravity-pulled, dripping from his head, just hitting the black snake beneath him.
Stimulated, the black snake raised its head violently, and its cold gaze smeared over Ron's body.
"Goo-toot!" Swallowed a big mouthful of saliva again.
Ron's face turned pale with fright, his heart was about to stop beating, he was hanging upside down, his head was only half a meter away from the ground, the snake seemed to him almost close to him, and the cold light reflected from the sharp fangs in the snake's mouth made his brain almost stop thinking.
"Enough, Ron! Hurry up and throw in the towel, if this continues...... Okay, I'm going to throw in the towel on his behalf? ”
Harry couldn't hold back any longer, and he yelled at Ron and Draco.
"No, only the dueling person is qualified to admit defeat, and others don't have this right. But Draco, it's not too late, get rid of them as soon as possible! ”
It's stupid enough to play this duel game with small children, and it would be a shame to waste more time.
"Well, now that Sephiroth has spoken, let's play here this time! Weasley, see the gap between us! When you see me in the future, you can honestly hide with my tail between my legs! 【All Petrochemicals】! ”
Adding a spell, Draco kicked Ron out of the circle with all his might, and he lost even if he didn't admit defeat.
Bastard! Harry's eyes were burning with rage, and he glared at Draco viciously, helping Ron to his feet.
"Hermione, is there a way you can do to break this spell?"
The petrified Ron couldn't move, but Harry didn't want to bring shame on himself and begged Malfoy to help Ron break the spell, so he had to turn to Miss Jack-of-all-trades for help.
"I'm sorry, but it's the first time I've seen this magic."
Hermione was a little sorry to look away, she was just a new Muggle Shijie, and even though she was very studious, all she had learned was what she had learned from a first-year book.
"Humph hahahahaha! Do you want to continue, Scarhead? ”
A high-spirited Draco began to provoke Ron's assistant Harry.
"Bastard!"
With a loud scolding, Harry grabbed his wand and was about to rush over. He remembered that Ron had said that the so-called assistant was the one who would take over the fight after the defeat of the client. And he was Ron's assistant, so naturally he should go up and continue the fight.
"Don't be impulsive! Harry, you're no match for them! ”
With Ron's precedent, Miss Jack-of-all-trades, who had learned to behave, hurriedly opened her hands and stopped Harry.
"You can't go." She smiled bitterly and persuaded sincerely, "If even you are petrified, then who will send Ron back to the common room." We underestimate the pure-blood wizards of Slytherin, their strength is not at all comparable to what we can do now. ”
Hermione was smart and sane, so she could see the difference. Not every pure-blood wizard is as useless as Ron or Neville, because Ron and Neville's misdirection makes her think that the offspring of pure-blood wizards are actually not a big deal.
Look, didn't she behave better than them in class?
But she was wrong, very wrong.
Ron and Neville are not pure-blood representatives at all, and the real pure-blood wizards are in Slytherin.
At this moment, the Liliang embodied by Draco was simply a strength that they could not resist. Maybe after a few years of study, they will be able to catch up with or even surpass them, but now they don't even think about it.
And having heard the faint rumor, she knew that the one standing next to Draco was probably stronger than Malfoy.
There was no chance of them reversing the duel this time, maybe Harry could try his best to defeat Draco, but after that, he would not still be defeated at the hands of Sephiroth, who was scarred.
In that case, it is not necessary to admit defeat.
