In fact, the Slytherin staff wasn't a great thing—at least it certainly couldn't compare to an Ancient Relic of Gryffindor's level. Not to mention, Salazar Slytherin didn't design it with the idea of making weapons in the first place.

After all, it was just a tool specifically designed to cast sealing magic, but it also happened to have a certain degree of channeling and amplification of the spellcaster's magical power, which gave Ens the feeling that it could be used in place of a wand.

After all, it's not hard to guess if you just think about where and under what circumstances he got it at the time.

However, after all, this snake staff was carefully crafted and held by the famous wizard Salazar Slytherin thousands of years ago, and even sealed the ancient dark wizard Helbo. Even if the amplification effect on the enchantment is only incidental, it is enough to be amazing enough to be impressed by it now.

"Faint!"

At that moment, Ens swung his staff forward sharply and pronounced the incantation with clarity in his mouth. Immediately, several red arcs of light shot out from the mouth of the snake at the head of the staff, and with great momentum slashed through several dazzling arcs, falling towards the huge shadow that was pressing down on the bow of the ship.

Yes, that momentum alone is enough to surprise everyone.

But unfortunately, even if this snake staff has an extraordinary origin and is equally powerful, the actual effect of its use depends on the actual situation. If you are too weak and your enemies are too strong, a large difference in strength will completely erase the amplification effect!

Especially when Ens was clearly ignorant of the existence of the enemy.

"Bang! Boom! Bang-"

A series of fires exploded one after another on the unknown shadow "Octopus", and its power was so great that everyone could still see it - the impact of the explosion made the already tilted Change shake a few times, making everyone on the ship feel shocked again.

But when the light cleared, Snape and Alexander, who were near the bow, found that the big guy was still unscathed.

Is it because your strength is not enough, and the strength of your attack is not enough? Or was it because I used the wrong spell?

“…… Or both? ”

Ens held the snake staff and stared at the massive enemy in the mist, and his heart suddenly became confused.

In fact, this seems to be the first time he has officially used this gift of Slytherin in actual combat, but who knows that he immediately hit a wall in the face of cruel reality.

He didn't know what to do next.

"What are you doing! Go to the back, go to help other people...... Also, find a way to get as many students as possible to evacuate the Change! ”

Seeing that Ens was stunned by the fact that he had made a fustile attack, Snape suddenly waved his wand, tugged at his clothes and threw him backwards.

"And you, Wolfe, you too!"

"That'...... Professor Snape, what about you? Alexander couldn't help but speak.

"Me?"

Snape frowned, and said impatiently:

"After I finish what I promised others, I can leave you annoying little ones behind at any time!"

……

When the deck is in chaos as the enemy finally appears...... To be honest, the inside of the cabin is not at all more reassuring than the outside.

The soul scream from before was the whole ship...... It can even be heard by the entire nearby sea. Right now, in Trelawney's room, where Professor McGonagall had just been, Muggle Studies Professor Bubhargy finally couldn't hold it back and fainted. Trelawney, who had been asleep in bed, fell out of bed because of the two sharp tilts of the hull of the ship before, and rolled into the corner of the room with Bubaji, who was fainting.

But in this case, McGonagall, who had returned to the office, was still unaware of the terrible screeching except for the tilt of the ship's hull.

"Maca...... Maca ...... Can you hear ME? The Changemaker is in a great crisis! If you can hear, you'd better come to the rescue as soon as possible—"

McGonagall was sitting behind her desk, her entire office scattered by the ship's incessant tilt, giving her a rough idea of what a terrible threat was being posed outside, without feeling the screams.

And in her hand, an oval stone slab the size of a palm was emitting a faint blue glow, and a circle of ancient magic words around it flickered and disappeared, and it seemed that there was magic power circulating in it at all times.

This is a round mirror carved in stone, which is a rune prop made by Maca herself when Maca and Hermione had not yet invented rune cards. Due to the immaturity of the technology, there will be a certain degree of wear and tear every time it is used, and it is specially left for emergency communication in McGonagall.

At least, that's what Maca told McGonagall at the time.

It's just that when the Change is really in danger, it can't contact Maca at all. Instead...... In fact, she was now beginning to wonder if the reason why she didn't suffer the same soul screaming attack as everyone else was because of this stone mirror.

That's right, what's happening right now...... It seems a little too inexplicable.

"Alas!"

Placing the rune mirror on the table, McGonagall frowned and thought for no avail, then sighed again.

She is no longer young now, and life and death are not her concerns. But when she thought of the safety of so many students on the ship, she couldn't calm down.

"No...... In short, send some people out with the portkey first...... No matter how small the number is, if you can survive one of them, it will be one! ”

She did have some portkeys here, but there were very few of them because the Change itself could easily move from one body to another in the waters.

However......

"Crunch—"

I don't know what was going on outside, but the whole ship shook again, and McGonagall couldn't hold it anymore. She didn't seem to care about the unknown situation on her body, and got up to leave the office again and go to the deck with the portkey to save people.

But the moment she stood up, she saw a flash of blue light on the desktop in front of her, and then a figure quietly appeared in front of her.

"Are you...... Who? ”

The other man was very tall, but because he was wearing a larger cloak with a hood, his entire body was obscured, so that McGonagall could not see the other party's appearance at all.

Only the uplifted muscles and tall body can't even hide such a big cloak.

Immediately afterward, the inexplicable man did not answer McGonagall's question, and as soon as he turned around, he decisively pushed the door open and went out.

"Wait!"
