Chapter 538: Casting Spells Like Flowing Clouds
By the time Ivan had uttered the last word, the chair slammed into the magical barrier created by the Iron Armor Charm at an alarming speed.
The Iron Armor Spell was not very good at physical protection, and after being hit hard, it lasted less than half a second before it shattered with a bang.
Grace, who had just reacted, couldn't dodge at all, and was hit in the back, although she didn't lose her combat effectiveness, she still rolled on the ground a few times in embarrassment.
"You're so nervous, Grace! So much so that he focused all his attention on me, not noticing the possible risks around me, which is a big no-no in battle! Ivan didn't hesitate to point out Grace's mistakes in the battle.
When watching her fight the wizard before, Ivan had already seen that Grace's spell level was okay, but she lacked combat experience.
If it were Sirius, it would never be possible to make such a low-level mistake.
However, this is not Grace's fault alone, but most wizards in the wizarding world lack combat experience!
To put it bluntly, as the only school in the UK, Hogwarts' main mission is to teach students how to use magic to make their lives easier, and at most learn how to crack the dark arts and deal with dark creatures in Defence Against the Dark Arts class!
As for the battles between wizards, they are rarely covered in class.
That's why when Lockhart held the dueling club, almost all the young wizards from the school came to participate.
Because there aren't many opportunities to practice at all!
And although Grace and the others stayed in Tumbledown Alley and had more or less experienced some battles, after all, they were born in the wild, and their fighting skills were basically honed in battle.
Maybe it's enough in normal times, but if you deal with some powerful wizards, it's easy to get caught.
Thinking of this, Ivan shook his head secretly, this may be what the Ministry of Magic wants to see, the weaker the combat power of civilian wizards, the easier it is to manage.
It's just that Ivan didn't want his subordinates to do the same, so he swept his gaze to the wizards onlookers and explained.
"As I said earlier, the Iron Armor Spell is actually not difficult to deal with, it can only reflect the specified type of spell, if it is replaced with a physical attack with a magic trend, it will be difficult to exert its due effect!"
"So if the timing of the spell is right, even a flying spell can defeat the enemy!"
"I'm sure there's no one who can't even fly to the curse, right?" Ivan added.
Listening to Ivan's words, the wizards watching laughed one after another, as one of the most basic spells, the flying spell is not very difficult to learn, and those underage wizards can use it freely.
However, using the impact effect of the flying spell to drive objects to break the iron armor spell is indeed a very novel idea, and few people usually think of using this magic in battle.
While Ivan was explaining, Grace had already risen from the ground, her face flushed.
She originally wanted to take this opportunity to perform well in front of Ivan, but she didn't expect that she would be easily defeated by a flying spell.
This made Grace very unwilling, it was just a momentary mistake, and her strength was completely unshowable.
But soon Grace remembered that she didn't seem to have surrendered, that is, the battle was still going on, she looked at Ivan, who was still explaining in front of her, without the slightest defense, she gritted her teeth, and waved her wand quickly in her heart.
“Expelliarmus! (Except for your weapons)"
A crimson beam of light flashed through the air.
Ivan turned his head when he heard the voice, waved his wand unhurriedly, and with a slight click, the crimson beam of light that was close at hand disappeared and disappeared, and finally looked at Grace.
The young witch was so scared that her wand was almost unstable, and she was just dizzy when she made a sneak attack, and she was anxious to get back a game, but now that she calmed down, she realized that what she had just done was a very serious offense.
Ivan's reaction was beyond Grace's expectations, and instead of taking a look, he even praised it.
"Grace... Well done! Since one side has not surrendered, the battle is naturally not over, as long as it can win the sneak attack, it is also a good choice! ”
Ivan, of course, will not blame Grace for the sudden attack, the use of any means in battle is allowed, and the enemy will not greet you when attacking.
"Go ahead!" Ivan said.
Grace slowly breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her state, blessed herself with an iron armor spell again, and then took the lead in attacking.
Ivan fulfilled his promise and did not use unconventional magic the whole time, and even if he counterattacked, he used some basic spells.
However, this does not mean that Grace can easily deal with it, because Ivan combines many small magic spells, and the power of the burst is not much weaker than those high-level magic spells.
She can also use her magic and counteract it with her moves.
Grace felt that her ability to hold on until now was entirely the result of the other party's deliberate retention, because the iron armor spell on her body had been shattered several times, and Ivan had waited until she had re-blessed the protective magic before continuing to attack.
What made Grace even more desperate was that when Ivan was fighting against her, he was still giving various explanations, explaining the characteristics of each spell and how to deal with it, and he was completely absent-minded.
The mood swings made Grace even more scrambled, and soon a flaw was revealed.
“Diffindo! (Split)" Ivan keenly seized the opportunity and waved his wand quickly.
A magical beam of light struck Grace in an instant, but was fended off by her Iron Armor Charm.
However, before the spell could be bounced, another crimson beam of light followed, instantly breaking through the upper limit of the Iron Armor Spell's protection and crashing straight into Grace's body.
Grace felt as if her body had been hit by a brute bull, and she was directly knocked out, and the wand in her hand came out of her hand and fell into Ivan's hand in a whirl.
The onlookers applauded enthusiastically when they saw Ivan's victory.
Although Ivan didn't use those suffocating magic spells in battle, the coordination and application of some basic spells really opened their eyes, and the gesture of casting spells was like art.
Everyone knows that this is not as easy as Ivan suggests, and it requires very strong magical control...
