Chapter 1168: Mist Encounter
The change in London came a little earlier than Maca imagined.
He had thought that Helbo might choose to make a move on the day the meteorite fell, but judging from the current state of Kingsley's being chased by something, it seemed that the other party couldn't wait.
"Go this way!"
It would be unwise to engage a mysterious enemy in the fog in the city of London - because of the thick fog, not only can they not see what the other side is, but they may even accidentally injure innocent Muggles.
Of course, if necessary, Kingsley would not hesitate to raise his staff to fight the option.
As he vaguely saw himself passing by the mouth of an alley, Kingsley jerked his steps backwards, and before diving headlong into the alley, he hadn't even forgotten his Auror teammate and pulled him backhand.
"Captain, thank you ......"
"Shhhh
Kingsley put his index finger to his mouth and peeked out of the alley to silence his teammates. Through the mist, he could see a shadow passing not far away, chasing him in the direction he had run before.
It seems that although those mysterious enemies are able to move freely in the fog, the fog still has a certain effect on their vision and perception.
At least, the other party didn't notice the corner that Kingsley took his teammates to turn just now.
"Captain...... What was that? Look...... Like a human? ”
After waiting for the figure to pass, the Auror teammate asked with trepidation.
However, Kingsley apparently didn't know either.
"In short, it doesn't seem like they're going to attack others, as long as they don't provoke them as they did before...... Well? There's another one over there. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly noticed something coming out of the alley, and the sound of unhurried footsteps made the two people hiding at the mouth of the alley pause slightly.
"Let's give it a try...... Don't make a sound, don't move, just stand still! ”
After another exhortation, the two of them stood motionless against the wall, and then silently waited for the owner of the heavy footsteps to come to them.
One-step...... Another step, getting closer.
Suddenly, a strange wizard swayed through the fog in front of the Kingsleys. Just looking at the other party's dejected appearance, if Martin saw it, he would definitely have a strange sense of familiarity.
And just as Kingsley had previously judged, it seems that this kind of godless wizard does not take the initiative to attack people. As long as you are careful to keep your mouth shut and not to make a sound, the other party will selectively ignore you.
It wasn't long before the wizard, who was obviously under the control of some magic, shuffled out of the alley and sank into the gray mist again.
To be honest, it would be nice not to fight, but ......
But what is the point of someone turning them like this and letting them wander around in the thick fog of Dunlun City?
"Let's go!" Kingsley waved his hand, "Looks like there's a lot we need to figure out...... For example, are they interested in Muggles? ”
However, just as Kingsley beckoned his companion to go down the street outside the alley, he found that the delirious wizard had turned around and returned!
And at such a close distance, even if Kingsley reacts quickly, it is difficult to avoid being discovered by the other party. When he landed, he heard him say without looking back:
"Let's go!"
Before he could finish speaking, he and his Auror teammates activated the Apparition Shifting Charm at about the same time—and the space around them twisted slightly.
But in the next moment, the spatial distortion that had not yet fully unfolded immediately subsided again.
Apparition Shifter actually failed!
"Is it the fog?"
The thought only flashed through his mind, and Kingsley didn't have time to think about it right now, because the wizard had already begun to move on his side.
Seeing that the other party didn't chant a spell at all, just raised his hand, an invisible impact flew towards Kingsley. Although the latter reacted quickly, he only barely landed on the ground, avoiding the result of being knocked off by a blow.
And at this time, Kingsley's strong dueling talent was suddenly revealed.
I saw that although his body fell to the ground, his attention was still on the enemy's body, and he was not distracted at all. As soon as he fell to the ground, his wand was already pointed at the other party, and a stun spell of no less strength went straight to the wizard's head.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the other party did not show too exaggerated anti-demonism, but there was obviously a big difference compared to ordinary people. Kingsley's stun spell caused the wizard to fall to the ground, but the other party slowly rose from the ground again.
Like Kingsley, the guy didn't forget to keep attacking when he fell—another blast came at high speed again.
Of course, Kingsley did it because of his wisdom and hard work. His rich combat experience has taught him that he must always maintain his rhythm in battle, which can lead him to victory step by step.
But the other party did the same, it seems that it was purely out of instinct to attack.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the wizard has lost his sense of self, and he probably doesn't even know what he's doing, let alone any combat experience.
The next moment, Kingsley was the first to get up, and was about to cast another spell. But at this moment, a burst of magic brilliance suddenly flashed behind him, and immediately an invisible protective shield was added in front of him.
Obviously, his team friend is also a real Auror, and the training that cooperates with the battle on weekdays is not done in vain!
At that moment, Kingsley, who was wearing the Iron Armor Curse, temporarily ignored it, and he immediately gave up the obstacle spell that he was about to strike, and silently recited the second stun spell again.
With a layer of protection, he saw that there was no need to use control spells to make time for himself.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
With two consecutive impacts, although the opponent's magic was blocked by the Iron Armor Charm, the strength of the magic was somewhat beyond Kingsley's expectations. The block was blocked, but the residual impact still made him unable to stand, and he fell to the ground again.
Fortunately, the wizard on the other side was much worse than him, and was directly knocked out by the high-intensity stun spell that he had accumulated strength, and slammed into the street lamp.
"Bell—"
Kingsley didn't have time to think about it, so he swung his staff again and conjured a large bundle of magic ropes to tie the other party up on the spot.
"Let's go, just grab one, maybe we'll be able to dig something out of him-"
Before he finished speaking, his teammate couldn't help but whisper:
"Captain, there's no way to use apparition here...... I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for the time being. ”
"Huh?"
When Kingsley heard this, he immediately followed his teammate's line of sight and looked around.
Seriously, he didn't even need to look too closely, because the surrounding fog seemed to be full of shadows, at least five or six!
"Where the hell did these guys come from?"
It must be said that these opponents who appeared in London this time are undoubtedly far less difficult to deal with than the dark magical creatures that appeared during the London disaster last time.
These wizards lack self-will, and their spells are very strong, but in general they are still just a group of ordinary wizards. If it's just one-on-one...... No, even with one against two, Kingsley didn't think he would lose.
But the biggest difference between this time and those enemies last time is not the difference between strength and weakness.
Truth be told, these wizards are also wizards, and they are probably innocent people who have been forced to be controlled. In this case, Kingsley didn't want to be ruthless at all if he didn't have to.
After all, he Kingsley Shackle, after all, is he also an Auror, isn't he?
"Prepare for a breakout."
Cautiously, he half-raised his wand, and without looking back, said to his companion behind him:
"We've spotted the enemy, and we've tried to engage them once, let alone catch one. So, there's no need to dwell on it anymore......"
"Want to go? You'll have to ask me first! Fall for me—"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the depths of the mist, followed by a dazzling magic light. Seeing this, Kingsley immediately jumped to the side while waving his wand, dodging this powerful spell.
The spell deflected slightly under Kingsley's swing of his staff, and then landed on the glass of a shop not far behind him, shattering the entire window with a thud.
"Oh, that's a quick response! Worthy of being the current head of the Auror office......"
As the sound got closer, a short figure stepped out of the gray mist. I saw that the tip of the opponent's wand was still faintly pointing in the direction of Kingsley, and it seemed that he would cast the next spell again at any moment.
"I don't know who you are, but ...... You'd better not get caught," Kingsley said calmly, "I think you should know that you've violated several serious rules of the Secrecy Act just by appearing. ”
"Hey, want to put me in Azkaban? Well...... I thought you might as well give it a try......"
Needless to say, the identity of this short wizard was obvious, even though he wore his cloak over his head and face. Not only was he an apprentice under Helbo, but he was also an Overseer who gained more favor from Helbo.
It's a pity that Helbo has done so well in secrecy that not many people know about it at present.
And while the short wizard was recklessly provocative, Kingsley smiled lightly.
"'Try it'? Okay—" he said, suddenly shaking his head again, "do you think I'm going to say that?" No, I'm not stupid, so I won't...... Walk! ...... on the other side"
Kingsley has never been a person who only knows how to follow the rules, and when he sees that there are so many subordinates around the other party, how can he still fall for such a low-level provocation from the other party?
"Don't worry about anything else, continue to break through!"
