"Bang-"

With a thud, the hatch leading to the deck suddenly shattered into splinters, causing Flitwick and the others who were nearby to look over there in disbelief.

What they saw, however, was a tall figure covered in a cloak, stepping out of the hatch.

Who is that? Why did it come out of the cabin? At least...... It seems that no one here remembers that there is such a character on the Change!

"Who?"

When Sprout subconsciously asked, Flitwick withdrew his hand slightly, and decisively cast a spell that shot straight into the opponent's chest - the Change was currently in great trouble, and could not afford to have another enemy. No matter what the identity of the other party is, it is the right thing to do first.

But in the next second, everyone around only saw that the moment Flitwick's magic spell brilliance hit the opponent's chest, it was like hitting an impregnable wall, and it was actually bounced away directly!

However, what made everyone even more stunned was that while Flitwick was hurriedly preparing for the battle, the tall and strong mysterious figure seemed to be completely unconcerned about the attack just now. The other man didn't even turn his head to look at Flitsch, and as soon as he stepped out of the hatch, he immediately turned around and took a step in the direction of the bow.

Different from the roughness when he broke the hatch just now, this step was silent. But in the blink of an eye, the other party suddenly burst into the fog in front of him at an incredible speed under the gaze and vigilance of the professors.

It was a few seconds before Flitwick and the others saw another person running out of the hatch—it was McGonagall, and she had finally come out of the cabin.

"Minerva?" When Sprout saw this, he hurriedly grabbed the vine and took two steps forward, "Minerva, that person just now...... Did you see that? ”

"Well," McGonagall said, nodding her head, "I just chased the man out." Don't ask me, though, I don't know anything yet. ”

And just as the two were talking, everyone heard a chaotic roar in the direction of the bow of the ship, and the deck under their feet shook again.

……

“…… Feel free to leave you annoying guys out of here! ”

When Snape said this, it was the same time that the shadow octopus raised another tentacle and swung it downward.

Although no one knows exactly what the shadow that makes up its body is, why it looks like a ghost and has no body, but it is so powerful and destructive.

But obviously, anyone with eyes knows that its blow is not something ordinary people can withstand! Maybe even the trolls will be pumped into pulp in minutes under the thick tentacles of the other party.

With a hurried wave of his wand, pushing both Ens and Alexander backwards, Snape himself was rapidly backing away.

"Boom!"

Unsurprisingly, the shadow tentacle fell heavily in front of my eyes, and once again sawdust flew sideways, leaving a long dent on the bow deck.

Truth be told, if Snape had been a little slower just now, he would have been part of the depression by now.

"I knew that I shouldn't have followed Tia, if I had taken her directly to the shelter provided by the Blois family in France at that time, there would not be so much trouble now!"

Snape's heart has always been full of contradictions. It used to be because of the love for Lily, and now it's ...... Well, in fact, even he can't figure it out himself.

Maybe it's because of Tia, the only surviving relative? Or maybe it's because of Maca, one of the few students who can get their own approval?

I don't know, maybe it's just because I promised Maca once, and now I don't want to disobey it! Even if it sounded like an excuse at all, Snape subconsciously stood at the bow of the ship, standing closer to the monster on the bow than anyone else.

"Bang! Whoa—"

Suddenly, a potions vial flew out of Snape's hand and exploded on the deck ahead. Then, a large area of dazzling blue flames instantly spread towards the shadow octopus.

Nowadays, the number of vials that still exist is very small, and only those who have a good relationship with maca have one or two bottles on hand. For ordinary wizards, this thing is actually not very useful, because if you are not careful, you can even hurt yourself.

But in the hands of those who know how to use it, its magic-fueled properties often work wonders in times of emergency.

"Uhhh

The unknown shadow tentacles, sure enough, couldn't shake off after being stained with the blue flames, and they burned all the way along the surface to the whole body at an astonishing speed.

It's a pity that it has not been a long time since an enhanced version of the fire bottle has been made, and the magic power that can be consumed when it burns is still too small, and it is obviously not enough to "lose weight" for this big octopus.

Fortunately, the blue flames that gradually spread throughout the body also seemed to affect the judgment of the other party, so that they no longer had time to care about Snape and the three of them. The situation, which was already very urgent, finally had a gap for relaxation.

"Let's go!"

After being reminded by Snape, Ens had turned around and ran back, but Alexander was still hesitating. Seeing that he was still behind him, Snape immediately grabbed him, grabbed his clothes, and ran towards the middle of the ship.

"Boom!"

The behemoth was still making a fuss behind it, as if trying to extinguish the blue flame on its body. In the midst of the manic dance of shadow tentacles, the loud sound of slamming the deck was heard one after another.

The Change shook again, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

But at this moment, out of the corner of Snape's eye, he suddenly glanced upward, and in the thick fog, a faint figure rushed towards the bow of the ship like lightning.

After speciously perceiving this scene, he couldn't help but pause slightly. Soon, however, the instinct to stay out of danger immediately erased the doubts in his mind, and he ran towards the hatch at a faster speed.

"Bang!"

Cold, the deck shook again, and then the scream that had been there twice before sounded in everyone's minds again.

But this time, the voice stopped abruptly and inexplicably, and people didn't even have time to come back to their senses.

Then, with a roar of "poof", the deck, which had been tilted forward sharply, gradually began to straighten out!

"What?"

Snape hurried back again, though the fog was so thick that the bow could no longer be seen from his distance. But he knew that the huge shadow octopus must have left the Change, otherwise how could the hull of the ship, which was crushed by such a big monster, be able to calm down?

But what exactly happened in front of you? The figure...... And who?
