Chapter 117: Kraken
Sunlight penetrates through the curtains, shining on the red patterned carpet, forming an invisible pillar of light between the carpet and the curtains, and countless floating particles and fine dust are quietly suspended in the air.
Several wizards got up from the sofa they were sitting on, and after Fabian stood up, the couch he was sitting on let out a moan of relief, Ning An never knew that the furniture in this mansion had also been brought to life by magic, and it seemed that it had been pressed down a lot.
"Come on, let's hold this together."
Leohard was closest to the white statue in the glass cover, and he removed the cover and beckoned everyone to hold the portkey.
"I shouted one, two, three—"
Everyone had no objections, but Fabian's big hands occupied the position of the three people at once, making Ning An unsure, Jung told him with a wry smile
"It's okay, you can put your hand on the back of Mr. Fabian's hand."
So Ning An put his hand on it, Fabian? Ludwig's hand was big and thick, Ning An felt like he was pressed on a bear paw, and he looked up at the wizard who was said to have the blood of a giant, who was also staring at Ning An with doubts in his eyes, that was the attitude of not believing that Ning An could pass the trial.
Ning An doesn't care, this kind of thing will be agreed by others, but there is nothing to say, his ability is insufficient, he is not completely sure in his heart, but he can only bite the bullet, for himself and for the sake of everyone in the snake letter, he needs this strength.
"One, two、...... Three! ”
Seeing that everyone had put their hands on the white octopus statue, Leohard began to count, and when he counted to three, a familiar feeling came, Ning An only felt that his navel eye was suddenly hooked by a hook, and he pulled him forward, and he broke away from the living room of the Hohenzollern mansion and flew into a whirlpool.
Because everyone had experience, there was no collision with each other, they flew forward like a gust of wind, Ning An could barely open his eyes but couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, only knew that his hand was firmly sucked on the statue, as if he was a magnet attached to a huge magnet.
"Hah-"
There was a hard touch from his feet, and Ning An took two steps to remove the momentum, stood firm, shook his head and looked around.
This is a beach, the light yellow sand is empty except for a few of them, the fine sand is gently blown by the wind, there are a few naughty grains, desperately drilling into Ning'an's shoes, the sound of the waves crashing against the reef and the beach, the loud seagulls are called, and they come from the sea from far and near.
Ning An looked into the distance again, the sea water was cold blue, as if it was all a sea formed by melting ice, when he was in the Hohenzollern Manor, the sky was still clear, and the sun could even shine through the thick curtains, but here, the light in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and nothing could be seen clearly in the black press.
Looking back, behind him is a not high, bare hill, Ning An ran a few steps to the half-slope, you can see the beach behind, this island from south to north is a total of 100 meters away, there is no grass on it, not so much an island, but a large and surprisingly large reef.
"Mr. Ning An, the trial has begun."
Jung walked over and patted Ning An on the shoulder, he came back to his senses, no longer looked at his surroundings, looked at Fabian and Barbara, both of them looked indifferent, and the witch of the Schoen family stared at a pair of eyes the size of green beans, rolling her eyes up and down suspiciously, full of disbelief.
Leohhard was holding a large white conch in his hand, and he didn't know when he took it out, he was studying it carefully, as if it was the first time he used it, Ning An could see that it was a magic prop.
"The Kraken is in the sea, please row."
Jung whispered beside Ning An, stretched out his hand and pointed to the tidal flats on the shore, and Ning An noticed that there was a small raft stranded there, although it was a little dilapidated, but the rope and wood should be quite solid.
He took out his wand and held it tightly in his hand, and the original tension in his heart gradually calmed down, and his fingers rubbed back and forth on the coiled pattern of the wand, and the ebony wand jumped twice as if it felt the master's emotions.
Ning An raised his feet and went to the shore, he stood on the raft, recited a spell, the raft turned around, and went to the sea with the next wave rushing ashore.
Standing on the raft, Ning An looked back, only to see that the three people on the beach except for Leo Hard had an extra panoramic telescope in their hands, which was the kind used to watch the game in the World Cup, although Ning An did not watch the World Cup, many vendors in the camp had sold this thing, of course he knew.
"How do you feel like these guys are watching a show."
Beating his shoulders, Ning An muttered, the more he went to the depths of the sea, the more severe the cold and biting feeling became, not only from the oncoming sea breeze, but also from the dark deep sea under his feet.
Fortunately, the wind and waves are not too big at this time, and the small raft floats smoothly in the sea, which is also a magic prop, and he can move forward in the sea, Ning An took it to the deep sea in a short time, and the island in the distance was almost an invisible stone, not to mention the four wizards on the island.
Ning An'an thought that it was no wonder that they were going to use panoramic telescopes, they were so far away that they would indeed not be able to see anything without props.
Just when Ning An was still wondering when this trial would begin, an ethereal, blank voice came from behind him.
It seems that someone is struggling to blow the trumpet, but the natural sound is by no means like a musical instrument made by humans, Ning An suddenly remembered the conch that Leohhard was holding, and guessed that it was the sound of the Minister of Magic blowing the conch, and the conch should also be a magic prop with a long history, and there was a sense of heaviness in the voice.
Ning An was sighing at the sound of the snail, and the sea water under his feet changed.
It seemed that a small whirlpool was forming, just in front of Ning'an, pulling, attracting, trying to swallow the raft.
The whirlpool expanded its range at a very rapid speed, almost exponentially growing in size, the speed of the currents became faster and faster, faster and faster, and the surface of the sea, which had been peaceful in the last second, changed color in the blink of an eye, and the waves rolled wildly, as if they were about to choose people to devour.
The dark clouds in the sky are pressed down layer by layer, the black clouds are staggered and collided together, the lightning suddenly bursts out, and the white light brushes the cold sea surface - "boom rumble" thunder rolls in, as if Hercules is hammering the cowhide drum of the god of thunder with a stone hammer in the sky, which makes people's eardrums hurt.
Seeing that the rainstorm was coming, and a violent storm on the ocean was inevitable, Ning An clenched his wand, only to feel that the sea below was gradually getting cooler, so cold that he could feel it through the raft.
Under the deep and bottomless sea, there seems to be some behemoth making waves, the whirlpool has already swept Ning An's raft in, countless fish and shrimp suddenly jumped up from the sea, the scene seemed to be a downpour of rain falling backwards, and the silver light rain kept rolling and fluttering on the sea surface.
In an instant, the current had spun to its maximum speed, and the raft fell with an unstoppable momentum towards the center of the whirlpool, and in the blink of an eye it was about to be swallowed up to the bottom of the sea, the deepest and darkest places.
Then, in an instant, the whirlpool reversed, like a gushing fountain, pushing all the fish and shrimp that had been sucked into the whirlpool out of the water, even the raft under Ning An's feet, and flew out directly from the sea.
"Yugadim Leviosa-"
He hurriedly cast a levitation spell on the raft, so that it would not capsize, and it fell on the sea with a "bang", splashing countless splashes, but Ning'an was no longer in the mood to care about this.
In front of him, a huge, mountain-like black shadow slowly and slowly climbed from the sea, blocking the vast dark sky behind him in front of him - the white light of the "click" lightning illuminated the mountain-like black shadow, and Ning An saw a huge, terrifying sea monster.
"Whoa-la-"
The torrential rain poured down, and between the sea and the sky, in addition to water or water, Ning An had long been unable to distinguish what was rain and what was seawater.
Needless to say, the island-like sea monster that appeared in front of him must be a Kraken, it is like a big octopus with teeth and claws, and its thick tentacles are rolling and rolling waves on the surface of the sea, not to mention Ning An, even Fabian and Hagrid, who have giant blood, are only the size of a mouse in front of him.
In front of the huge monster, the human being has become so small, the width of its surface is 400 feet, and Ning An estimates that the width of the entire monster should be more than 600 feet.
As if it had been woken up from its slumber, it was furious, and it violently slapped the sea around it, setting off huge waves that shook Ning An's little raft to the point of capsizing, and he regretted that he had come on such a small raft that was not even a boat.
"Avada Suo—"
The green light skyrocketed, illuminating the gray-black world in an instant, and the wind and rain seemed to stop at this moment, Ning An did not have the slightest reservation, if he wanted to pass the test, he had to use all his means, so he used the killing curse as soon as he came up.
It was like a whip being swung at Kraken by Ning An, and like a terrifying snake poking out of a wand, it bared its fangs at the other monster, and the light of the Death Curse hit the monster, and a deafening roar sounded on the sea
"Ang Ang—"
Instead of killing the Kraken, the killing curse of death, which seemed to inflict considerable pain on him, the big octopus desperately raised its thick and terrifying tentacles, smashing the surface of the sea, and the waves were like broken foam, accompanied by unconscious fish and shrimp and wind and rain, and the sky was all over the sky.
"Avada Suo—"
"Avada Suo—"
Ning An didn't stop, he took advantage of the Kraken's immersion in pain and anger, desperately shouted a spell, and two green rays reflected the sky, penetrating the violent storm, and shot directly at the head of the big octopus, although it was pitch black, Ning An couldn't see clearly where the head was and where the body was.
"Aang—"
There was another miserable howl, and the strong tentacles found the target this time, and quickly pulled out from under the sea, and the moment it stretched to the top of Ning An's head, even the wind and rain were covered.
"Boom—"
Louder than thunder, the sea was smashed open an abyss, the water on both sides tilted down, and then collapsed, crashing into a hundred meters high waves, and the debris was blown by the wind all over the sea.
On the island in the distance, the four people holding the panoramic telescope shivered at the same time, the fat body of the witch Barbara writhed back and forth, as if she wanted to pull her legs out of here immediately, Jung's face was even more bitter, and when he saw that the raft was smashed into the sea, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, afraid that Ning An would die.
"It's terrifying, no matter how much you practice the killing curse, you can't solve this sea monster?"
There was an inexplicable sense of disobedience on the sturdy giant's face with a frightened expression, but where were the others in the mood to laugh at Fabian at this moment, they all recognized that the green light emitted by Ning An was Avada's life, and they were all surprised that he could use this terrible magic continuously.
But they didn't think that the sea monster was ten thousand times more terrifying than they imagined, and it was the first time for them to preside over the Seagod Trial, and the last time the German magic family conducted a trial was hundreds of years ago.
Leohard clenched the panoramic telescope without saying a word, and after a while he suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted:
"It's okay, he's okay—"
Several people looked at the sea with binoculars in unison.
Ning An was holding half of the raft, his whole body was soaked, and half of the magic storage potion with the iron armor spell on his body was destroyed at once, this time he understood how powerful this monster's blow was, and fifteen iron armor spells barely allowed him to escape, this is a real touch, and he will be rubbed to death.
Although the raft was a magic prop, it couldn't block the blow, and it was already good to break it in two, and his whole person was carried to the bottom of the sea by the impact, and he struggled to use the momentum of the waves to float up again.
He understands that it has reached the critical juncture of life and death, either you die or I die, Ning An has never experienced such a fierce battle in his life, compared with Snape's fierce battle in the Chamber of Secrets and now, it is already a small thing, whether he is in Hades Castle or Hogwarts, what he has learned and thought cannot be reserved at this moment.
"Golem out!"
Ning An barely stood up straight by leaning on half of the raft, raised his wand and waved at the sea water on both sides of his side, as if there was an invisible powerful magic force, like a cold wind blowing across the sea, and in the next second, the sea water was surging and gathering wildly, and two hundreds of feet tall sea water colossus surged from the sea.
The moment the two colossi took shape, they immediately set off a tidal wave and rushed towards the Kraken
"Boom-boom-"
The three huge monsters collided together, making an earth-shattering sound, more piercing than the explosion thunder that shattered the sky in the dark clouds, Ning An had never thought that the collision between the sea water and the object would be so loud.
The two giants seemed to press the sea monster from above with their arms, and they pressed the body of the vast black eagle that Kraken could not see clearly, and pressed it into their arms, and the sea monster did not show weakness, and countless indescribable huge tentacles rolled back, entwining and binding the giant condensed by the sea, as if it was about to be strangled into a mass of foam in the next second.
Ning An felt that the magic in his body was like a bottomless water bottle, and it was irrepressible and crazy pouring out, or it wouldn't be long before he was afraid that he would be squeezed out, and it was too difficult to maintain the struggle between these two giants and sea monsters like Kraken.
And at this moment, the four wizards on the distant island, the hands holding the telescope couldn't stop trembling, where is the battle in the sea still like a wizard's trial, they clearly feel that they have seen the battle between the hero and the sea monster in the myth and legend.
