Chapter 277: Ancient Dragon Species
It was a disastrous day for Hogwarts.
It was also a terrible day for the British Ministry of Magic.
It was not even a great day for all of Europe.
Of course, it was only limited to the wizarding world, not the world of normal people, commonly known as Muggle society.
After all, the Triwizard Tournament is really a major event in the European wizarding world, founded more than 700 years ago, and is a kind of friendly competition between three of the largest schools of magic in Europe: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Each school chooses a warrior and then competes in three magical projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years and is hosted by the three schools in turn.
Unfortunately, due to the number of deaths and the number of players participating, the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted.
Over the centuries, there have been several attempts to revive the tournament. It wasn't until this time of the year that the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports decided that the time was ripe for another attempt, so they resumed the competition...... Everyone agreed that this tournament was a great way to build friendships between young wizards from different countries.
Then, reality slapped them several times, swelled their faces, and completely became a pig's head.
The first project was completely messed up! There were also casualties, although the situation did not evolve to the worst -
“……”
“……”
By this time, the sky had cleared again, but the entire Quidditch pitch was silent at the moment, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground was clearly audible, enough to prick a person's eardrum.
Everyone held their breath, wishing that their hearts would stop beating at this moment, but they didn't realize it, they just stared straight at the scene.
At this moment, no one is yelling, pushing, shoving, and shoving, eager to run away and leave such a dangerous scene. They were all stunned, as if they had lost their souls, and they couldn't take their eyes off anymore, staring in the same direction together.
It's a very strange scene.
But it is completely understandable that everyone has just witnessed an unusually bloody and cruel torture against three terrifying, majestic and huge fire dragons, and has even posed a serious threat to their lives before.
However, at this time, these huge reptiles have lost their vitality, and their twisted and broken giant corpses have fallen horizontally on the charred black battlefield, leaving only Sensen's white bones, and the empty skulls and eye sockets are staring at the sky, as if there are unwilling souls silently telling something.
They were all crushed by the dragon's roar, then burned by flames, then bitten throats, torn off cervical vertebrae, torn wings, and finally brutally killed.
It's brutal, it's a powerful scene, but it's undoubtedly the most efficient way to solve it.
Physical attacks are such a terrifying attribute at any time, and when the power of magic is not enough to penetrate the thick dragon skin and kill a fire dragon directly, then it is naturally the best choice if there is a means to directly bite off their neck bones.
The jet-black dragon appeared at the most opportune time, seized the flaw of the three "crashed" fire dragons, and killed one of them with the most fast and precise means before they could react-
As a result, he tore apart the dragon soul and made himself a dragon whisperer who learned the way of roaring and stole the power of dragon roar, and further became a true dragon descendant.
Next, there was a series of crazy blows like a storm, and the remaining two fire dragons who had been hit hard at the beginning were naturally powerless...... One side was hit hard and weakened, and the other side was transferred and strengthened, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and the result can be imagined.
The reason why it is said to be three is because the Swedish short-nosed dragon from before escaped.
Although it began to mutate, the beastly instinct that had been implemented over the years was not something that could be overwhelmed by the nascent wisdom, and seeing that the situation was not good, the blue dragon limped around, flapped its wings, and flew away directly.
Before leaving, he roared, and the terrifying sound completely lifted the scarred Quidditch pitch ground again.
The dragon tamers can't stop it, I don't know if it's the reason why the direction of each fire dragon's mutation is different, this blue dragon may be that the anti-magic power has been raised to a particularly high level, and it is terrifyingly high.
Generally speaking, ten wizards using the Stun Charm at the same time can ensure that a fire dragon is stunned, which is the safest standard line, in fact, seven or eight wizards are more than enough.
But since the start of the war, this blue dragon has eaten forty or fifty stun spells, except for some effects at the beginning, which made it shake and stun a few times, and then it has no effect.
There is also the extinguishing spell, if the stun spell is a general-purpose spell, the effect on the fire dragon is not too good, and it can barely be explained.
Then the extinguishing spell that was effective at the beginning was weakened almost at a speed visible to the naked eye in the back, if it weren't for the blue dragon finally being frightened by the crazy killing of the black dragon that suddenly entered the field, and turned around and fled, it would definitely cause even greater casualties.
Dumbledore was unable to stop the departing fire dragon in a hurry, and could only watch the other party's distant figure become a small dot in the sky, and his face was calm and silent for a long time.
It's not that with his magical attainments, coupled with the spell released by the Elder Wand, he can't penetrate the skin of an ordinary mutated fire dragon and cause the damage it deserves, but because it's too far away......
The wizard's spell is a terrible thing, try to use a stick, aim straight at an object in the distance, you may think you are accurate, but in fact...... Hehe, that's it.
Unless it is a laser pointer, the visible beam trajectory is assisted in correction, otherwise, it can only be compared and judged by visual inspection and experience.
A wizard who can cast spells in an instant and accurately hit a fist-sized target thirty meters away is already very qualified, and when facing a human-sized target, the distance can be appropriately relaxed to one or two hundred meters.
More powerful wizards can naturally snipe at longer distances, but there are limits.
The same is true for Dumbledore, who is too far away to miss a hit, and the spell does not have a special effect of automatically tracking the immortals, otherwise he can directly release his magic in the United Kingdom, and he can strike at Voldemort hiding in the distant Black Forest.
Closing his eyes slightly, and breathing vigorously several times, the old man moved his gaze back to the black dragon in the burning field.
The black dragon had killed three mutant fire dragons in a row, and what power had been absorbed from them, and now there was also a noticeable change, and its size had expanded more than one circle compared to when it had just changed.
This black dragon was a full twenty meters long at the moment, more than any fire dragon in the wizarding world.
And the scales were black and shiny, the limbs were strong and hideous, and the back and tail were full of terrible spikes, like steel, reflecting a cold sheen......
It roared at the blue dragon in the distance, the roar was deafening, and it spread its wings several times, but it was not able to fly, and its movements were so clumsy that it was like a chick learning to fly, and it only knew how to flap the dragon's wings stiffly.
If it could fly, it wouldn't mind catching up and continuing to bite the blue dragon......
“……”
“……”
Everyone was silent, and the audience was silent, although Dumbledore's magic had reset the defenses, but everyone could see how terrifying and powerful the wizard who had turned into a dragon was.
Within a minute, it directly tore through three ferocious fire dragons......
The roar shook the atmosphere and turned into a terrifying shockwave that broke several bones of the dragon......
And if nothing else, the mere fact that it can transform into a giant dragon is shocking enough......
That's right! It is precisely because everyone knows that this is not a pure fire dragon, but a wizard with high mana, that there is such a performance at this moment. A simple monster feels very different from a monster that a person becomes.
Everyone didn't know what this black dragon would do next, everyone vaguely thought that it was from their own camp, but they couldn't ensure it.
The black dragon stopped roaring, turned around and paced back and forth in the flame-filled field, looking up at the surrounding stands from time to time, and through the magic barrier, you could clearly see the ferocity in its eyes, and a trace of confusion and struggle.
However, it did not attack in the end, but slowly shrunk in place, its body shrinking rapidly, its horns, barbs, tail, claws, etc., all shrunk back, and it became a wizard in a black robe.
Compared to the lively performance of the dragon spirit and tiger under the black dragon form just now, Noah seemed to be very tired and his face was a little pale.
"It's really ......"
"Oh, it's incredible......"
"Did you see that? Merlin is on top, how strong is this mana......"
The silence was finally broken, and the students seemed to start whispering in an instant, and the humming whispers turned into a wave, and finally the audience resounded.
Immediately afterwards, the audience erupted in loud cheers and applause, and the scene was really lively, probably because the students had unilaterally determined that this was a dragon slaying hero!
How desperate and frightened they were when the dragon was out of control and raging madness before, then how fanatical they are now worshipping the unidentified wizard.
Especially now that the crisis has passed, they now feel like a wonderful and huge performance, which makes people's blood boil and they can't wait to do it again.
Some people can't believe it, some people have a strong light in their eyes, some people are puzzled, and everyone has different concerns anyway.
Some people are completely stimulated because of the violent factor in their bones, and they feel that the dragon magic is so handsome that they have no friends, and they are determined to learn it; Others don't understand why they can turn into dragons, and the mysterious roars that sound like they're ......
Wizards with vicious eyes understand that it is obviously a force that is paradoxical to the current spell system! To be honest, it's hard to say whether that wizard is a wizard or not!
At this time, Noah in the venue looked around tiredly, and then turned around with a gloomy face to leave here.
"Wait! Mr. Noah, please stay......"
Dumbledore spoke, perhaps through magic, and his words thundered through the Quidditch pitch, overpowering the crowd, his voice echoing above the spectators, resounding loudly to every corner of the stands.
The people immediately shut up and watched excitedly at a conversation in the air, could this be a collision between two wizards with high mana?
Noah turned his head and looked at the white-bearded old man on the high platform in the distance, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Let me stay?" Are you threatening me? Dumbledore...... Headmaster? ”
His voice also became extremely loud, as if the bell was ringing, and there was no weakness at all, I don't know if he was really not too affected, or if he didn't want to show any of his weak characteristics.
"No, don't get me wrong, Mr. Noah......"
Dumbledore's voice was loud, but his tone was quite soft.
"I think the accusations against you by the Magical Congress of America seem to be a clear mistake, and I've read the relevant materials before...... You seem to have predicted the problem of the fire dragon before the accident? ”
“……”
“……”
After a moment of silence, everyone heard the wizard laugh in a low voice:
"yes, but ...... It's too late now, you've all seen it, haven't you? ”
"As long as you are willing to do it, then it will be too late at any time." Dumbledore said aloud in full view of everyone, "Sure, they did have some changes, including fire and roar, but we defeated them, didn't we?" ”
His voice seemed to have an indescribable, inspiring power.
The others happened to be nervous in their hearts, and subconsciously thought of something, after all, everyone is not stupid, they also saw the performance of the four-headed fire dragon just now, and one by one they have changed from elite monsters to the level of bosses.
They can kill anyone with a single roar, and most wizards don't even have the power to hurt them.
And at this moment, hearing Dumbledore's words, they felt inspired again, and couldn't help but look at the three hideously twisted huge skeletons in the messy, torn field.
- yes, there is nothing to be afraid of, they have been defeated!
Noah didn't taunt, but replied calmly:
"This is just an ordinary atavistic fire dragon species, and even if the process has just begun, you think you have won? You won't understand how powerful the ancient dragon species is that has truly completed its metamorphosis. ”
"Elder dragons?" Dumbledore frowned, feeling a thrill at the word.
"Don't doubt it, you'll see it soon...... The power of the ancient dragon. Noah continued to turn away, leaving only this sentence faintly: "They are about to be born, of course they will not continue to hibernate, you will meet soon." ”
