"I have to say that the gadgets you made exceeded my expectations, and they were able to resist my Oblivion Charm, which some adult wizards can't do with the Iron Armor Spell." Lockhart said appreciatively.

He had thought that Ivan, like other wizards, would be unsuspectingly washed away by him.

But he didn't expect Ivan to be able to detect and defend against his attacks in advance, and even cast a spell to bounce his Oblivion Charm, which Lockhart didn't expect.

But fortunately, the anti-curse cloak he had spent a lot of money on before was much more useful than he had imagined, and it resisted the rebounding Oblivion Charm.

This was beyond Lockhart's expectations, and it also made him realize that he was not the liar he used to be.

"So you're going to use what I gave you against me?" Ivan asked.

"I guess you didn't expect this day to come when you made these things, did you?"

Lockhart looked very proud, but looking at Ivan's calm face, his face suddenly changed again, and he took two steps back with a smile, and said tentatively.

"Could it be that you left some back door?"

"I'm not going to do such a thing." Ivan shook his head, his alchemy skills were not yet at the point where he could leave the back door at will without being discovered.

Lockhart was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Ivan continued.

"But you think, why don't I make myself a magic item..."

"Isn't there a lack of money?" Lockhart said strangely.

"Of course not!" Ivan's face darkened completely, and with a gloomy face, he raised his wand and continued.

"Now I'm going to teach you a lesson, the real powerhouses in the wizarding world don't build up on those crooked things... I remember you said that the soundproofing here is good. ”

Lockhart raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding what Ivan meant,

"Shadowless!" Ivan whispered softly, and activated the Divine Blade Shadowless Spell, which had been blessed by the enhanced magic script.

Several invisible waves of magic sliced through the air, emitting a series of strange sounds...

The moment the tip of Ivan's wand lit up, Lockhart's face changed suddenly, and the hairs on his body exploded.

He vaguely remembered a dark wizard he had encountered in the Romanian jungle, and the powerful destructive spell of the other party had caused him to almost die there...

But even so, the threat brought to him by that spell was not as strong as this one!

"There are many obstacles!" Lockhart knew it was useless to dodge, and gritted his teeth and released the obstacle spell.

Lockhart's potential in the face of danger caused the magic to run wild again, turning into a large dark blue fireball that whistling forward...

Lockhart had never been glad that his magic was out of control, but this time it was an exception!

This represents his vitality...

However, right in Lockhart's expectant gaze.

The dark blue fireball that he had high hopes for was cut in half almost instantly, and then cut into smaller pieces by something invisible in the air, and was directly annihilated.

The expression on Lockhart's face froze, and then he turned to fear, he couldn't see what Ivan had done, and there was obviously nothing in front of him!

But that's what makes fear spread like a vine throughout the body....

Fast.. It's too fast...

Lockhart sensed that death was near, and activated the effect of the protective cloak at this critical moment.

The magic barrier rose again from all around Lockhart,

There was also a hint of security that rose, but it was all torn apart in the next moment...

The sturdy magic barrier, this time like papier-mâché, was easily cut through by the invisible blade.

A "buzzing" vibrating sound rang in Lockhart's ears, and his cheek seemed to have been cut by something...

Just as Lockhart was feeling desperate, the feeling of imminent death suddenly disappeared, and Lockhart was stunned...

In the next second, the table behind him was cut in two along the center and fell to the ground with a dull sound. The mirror at the back was covered with cracks, and the petrified wood carving had its head cut off.

Even the photographs hanging on the walls are no exception, and the Lockharts in the photographs have gone into hiding elsewhere early, leaving only blank frames that have been cut in two.

Lockhart turned his head to look at this scene and gasped...

"I—" Lockhart looked back at Ivan, dropped his wand spinelessly, and was about to say something, but heard Ivan's voice again.

"Hang the Admiralty upside down!"

The protective cloak that had just been hit hard did not shelter Lockhart again this time, which caused Lockhart's body to flip uncontrollably, and he mistakenly thought that Ivan was going to do something to himself, and immediately shouted in panic.

"Stop. Stop it! You can't kill me! I am a third-class Merlin Medalist, an honorary member of the Defence Against the Dark Arts League, and a five-time Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who has won the Most Charming Smile Award...."

Lockhart was so unscrupulous that he even said the usual phrases when introducing himself.

"No, you're a liar who only uses the Oblivion Charm." Ivan crouched down and pointed his wand at Lockhart's nose.

"I'll give you five hundred, no, a thousand Galleons!" Seeing the blinding glow of the wand in Ivan's hand, Lockhart shouted.

"Two thousand!" Ivan added.

"Yes!" Lockhart nodded without hesitation.

Ivan was depressed for a while, and it seemed that he had once again underestimated Lockhart's financial resources.

However, two thousand Galleons should have stepped on Lockhart's bottom line in Ivan's estimate, and if Ivan was worried about the other party's distress in the future, he would regret not giving money, and what would he do.

After all, this is Hogwarts, Dumbledore's territory,

Ivan is well aware that he can expose Lockhart's identity as a liar and can beat him up, but he can't kill him at will....

Ivan waved his wand, dismantling the spell and letting Lockhart go.

Lockhart got up from the ground tremblingly, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the wand on the ground.

But the hand was not touched, and Lockhart was worried that Ivan had misunderstood, so he immediately took it back... He raised his hands to show that he was harmless to humans and animals, and there was still a little fear and fear on his face.

The powerful Divine Blade Shadowless Spell completely shattered the unrealistic thoughts in Lockhart's heart.

Lockhart then figured out what Ivan meant,

The small-looking little wizard in front of him was warning him that even if he had these seemingly powerful magical items, he would not be able to pose a threat to them...

As long as the other party has this thought, the kung fu of raising the wand can defeat everything he relies on...
