Chapter 104: Air Combat (II)
Suddenly there was a burst of dazzling colors in the dark night, fleeting, like thunder flickering under thick clouds.
Singing and screaming filled the area, and the pursuers, with the natural advantage of the broomstick's agility and speed, quickly surrounded the flying carpet, without warning or persuasion - the spell immediately shot from all directions, bursting unkempt sparks on the silver iron armor spell on Brandy's body, and the huge and piercing explosions that occasionally made the ears of Brandy and the others buzz.
Breaking free from the suppression of the enchantment in Petyer Manor, it seems that it is not just Brandi that they have returned to the top.
Their enemies have also become noticeably stronger.
"Armor protection!" *3
Three rays of white light rained down from the sky, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione reacted quickly to set up the Iron Armor Charm and begin to engage the enemy.
Thankfully, if it was in the open ground, they probably wouldn't be able to stop it for even a minute, but the battlefield was two miles in the air: the galloping air currents and high-speed flights of over ninety miles per hour had lowered everyone's accuracy by several notches, and the bursting spells whizzed into the air, exploding and dancing in the night sky like a holiday salute.
Carve, who was controlling the flying carpet, seemed to be screaming loudly, but Brandy, who had just been hit by a disarming spell and was shocked to the point of tinnitus, couldn't hear it clearly, and as a result, the sky spun around, his body tilted, and the world in front of him suddenly rotated almost ninety degrees. The lights of a Muggle village flew past him, and on the other side were a pale crescent moon and scattered clouds.
He was so excited that he found himself in an extremely awkward and disadvantageous situation.
"Stop, Kaf! This is not a broomstick! ”
Brandi scrambled to grab the blanket and screamed with Hermione, who was also at a high level, but in the space of a single sentence, four or five spells swept past his sides—where he had been a second or two ago.
"Well, you saved my life, Kaf."
He was now certain that Mr. Pettier had ordered his men to be cut down, because he had seen a green light of murderous intent inside.
"It's really killing us!"
"That's not from the Petyrs!"
"What did you say—"
Before he could finish asking, a cold wind poured into Brandy's open mouth, and the heavens and the earth suddenly reversed again - after taking advantage of gravity to complete a fancy sideways dodge with the entire flying carpet, Carf seemed to succeed in straightening it back before everyone could fall.
Merlin was on top, and he could finally let go.
(Must rush out first!) )
Looking around at the dark shadows floating in mid-air around him, Brandi's mind was full of this thought, and instead of paying attention to the spells flying overhead and the chaotic shouting behind him, he raised his wand alal, and a milky white sun quickly gathered on the head of the wand. After so many adventures with him, just seeing the strangeness of his wand made it immediately clear to the others what he wanted to do.
Harry and Hermione quickly reflexively covered their eyes and lowered their heads; Ron had already taken precautions, but he bounced up from the flying carpet like a fish, and pounced on Kaf, who was still controlling the flying carpet, covering its eyes tightly, and the action pulled his badly injured left arm, making him grin in pain. "Leave the flying carpet alone, close your eyes!"
With that, he dragged Kafu into the fluff of the flying carpet. Stretched out his hand to Brandi—
"Ultra Magic Spell - Fluorescent Flash!" Brandi struggled to twist his head behind him and shouted.
The ball of light at the head of the staff disintegrated, and in an instant, the sky and the earth turned into pure white, and the stars and moon were eclipsed at the same time.
In the howling wind, there seemed to be a few screams of pain around them. The sharp eyes blessed with the night vision spell have now become the opponent's biggest weakness, and the light that has been magnified countless times has lost its former gentleness, and it has stabbed into their eye sockets like a red-hot short knife.
Brandi endured the pain in her eyes, narrowed a slit with tears in her eyes, and looked around. The few Indian wizards who had just come closest to the Flying Carpet covered their eyes in pain and flew wildly in the air, and soon they fell behind with a wail and disappeared into the inky night.
"Well done!" Harry's cheers rang out behind him, and he got to his feet, chanting a spell as his opponents dazzled. The white light flashed, and the body of a wizard not far away suddenly stiffened like wood, and he fell down with a broom in a swirl. "Let's run!"
That's when —
"Run? Just this slow blanket? ”
The sound of extreme closeness made Brandy's hair tremble all over his body, and he turned his head in horror. I don't know when, about thirty or forty feet away, suddenly a tall adult wizard appeared, looking down on them condescendingly.
He seemed to be sitting on something, and Brandi heard the sound of wings flapping, but it was clearly invisible, and through the hem of the ornate wizard's robes, only the starry night sky could be seen behind him. A handsome, but unusually cold countenance emerged from the black hood with the glow of his golden wand.
"Everyone, be careful!" Brandi shouted a warning as he lowered his wand against the incantation-baptized flying carpet beneath him, a purple halo rising.
"The weak retreat!"
Time seemed to stop at this moment, the surging magic impregnated the purple pattern, and the flying carpet, which was half-dead like a classic car, suddenly let out a high-pitched explosion, shooting out like bullets - everyone's bodies shook violently, and they were almost thrown into the air by the accelerated momentum.
But the gray spell was faster than his knockback spell.
Like a streamer, it flew diagonally through the gap between Brandi and Hermione—and it was heading straight for Parvati in the first place! Ron and Harry roared and pounced, and at the same time they were on the path of the spell's flight—
Harry was positioned a little further forward, his form staggering, the looming Iron Charm on his body shattering into a large spot of light with a loud pop, and the whole person was thrown into the air—past Ron, past Carf—and fell right in front of the flying carpet.
Everyone saw the look of dazed and frightened look on his face.
"Harry!" The three of them let out a scream in unison, and between the lightning and flint, a pitch-black rope flew out like a poisonous snake and fell after Harry. After a while, Brandi suddenly felt like he had been pulled by something and fell to the ground hard—his hand clasping the edge of the flying carpet.
"I've got him!" Brandi exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go!" ”
Seeing that Harry's blow was blocked, the wizard's face instantly turned blue, and he wanted to chant a spell, but three figures stopped in front of him at the same time.
"Mr. Tagore." The man at the head made no secret of his suspicious and hostile eyes. "You'd better give a reasonable explanation for what you just did......"
——————
The enemy was somehow thrown into chaos, which was exactly what Hermione wanted to see. With the blessing of the Knockback Charm, the Flying Carpet was rampaging like a truck on the highway, while the two wizards surrounding them in front of them were still arguing with each other about something, how could Hermione not seize such a godsend: she raised her wand and shot out three or four fiery red beams in a row, and at such a close distance, one of the wizards was shot down by the Burning Charm before she could even react - while the other wizard flicked the broom in panic, desperately lowered her body, and luckily avoided the bottom of the flying carpet.
It suddenly became clear in front of them, and they actually rushed out of the encirclement of more than a dozen wizards in a daze.
"Fly up!" Hermione looked back at the enemies who were chasing after her, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Let's hide in the clouds!" ”
"You're crazy!" Ron exclaimed in horror, "We're going to be the soup chickens, look at Brandi and Harry!" They can't stand this! ”
"That's better than leaving your life here! Kaf! ”
As he spoke, the flying carpet rose rapidly, and with the last momentum of the repulsion spell, it pierced into the clouds that were close at hand.
But it didn't seem to want to do that, and reluctantly ascended all the way, and the flying carpet actually activated a warning magic attached to it. "Hindustan Flying Carpet Aviation Co., Ltd. and the Ministry of Magic Transportation Committee remind you: there are thousands of waterways, and safety is the first; insisted on flying in the clouds, and relatives and friends cried. ”
Hermione angrily poked the flying carpet with her wand, and with a few sparks, the latter immediately settled down.
"It doesn't feel good...... Harry's rope was tied around his waist, hanging far in the air, the pervasive cold wind running down his cuffs and trouser legs into his body, his teeth chattering, and it took him seven or eight seconds to finish a sentence - not only because of the cold, but also because of the lightning strike ring mentioned in the spell book, and he now felt that the muscles of his body were frozen into ice cubes and that he was still being charged over and over again. I feel like I might be peeing my pants. ”
"You'll probably be miserable in that moment." Brandi was lying on the edge of the flying carpet, his arm bruised, and the place where he was strangled by the rope quickly oozed a deep red. "It's going to be colder than you think."
Ron was half-kneeling behind him, and Hermione and Hermione were using their spells against the persistent enemies behind them—even though the other was infighting, they had the same goal of trying to capture them, and soon, they seemed to agree to catch up again. Thanks to their almost life-for-life play, Brandi and Harry didn't get shot into a hornet's nest like a target by a jumble of spells.
"I can't go on like this, I'm about to catch it! Hermione, think of a way! Brandi's arm creaked in an overwhelmed manner, and his frozen hands could barely grasp the blanket.
"Hold on a little longer, as long as we get into the clouds." Having once again forced the enemy back with a disarming charm, Hermione, who was almost running out of mana, said anxiously, "They can't see where we are in the clouds—we can get in and grab their broomsticks without us noticing!" ”
"God doesn't know it?" His eyes widened, "Hermione, are you kidding?" Our flying carpet goal is so big! ”
"It's not us...... It's Harry. ”
"Huh?"
