Professor McGonagall and the others looked warily at the massive creature in front of them, with a human face, a sphin's body, and a long scorpion tail.

It's said to be a human face, but in fact, it barely looks like a human face. It's more like the silhouette of a lion. So the expression on that face is not as agile as that of a human being. More close to what a beast looks like.

Now, it was standing in the middle of the hallway, blocked in front of the professors.

It came out of nowhere.

And when it appeared, the team of professors, led by Professor McGonagall, knew very well that they couldn't turn around and go back to protect the students.

Once you turn back, I'm afraid you'll have to face a real attack.

Although Professor McGonagall is not good at magical beasts, she knows that she can't give her back to her enemies when facing them.

"We may have been fooled."

Professor McGonagall looked at the lone sphinx manticore in front of her and sighed helplessly.

"It's not something that one person can deal with."

Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn spoke on the side: "Like the fire dragon, this thing is not easier to deal with than the fire dragon except that it cannot breathe fire. ”

Although the professor of the Conservation of Magical Beasts class, his favorite magical beast is the fire dragon. Even if he gave up part of his body for this, he still enjoyed it.

But even so, he can deny that this guy in front of him is difficult to deal with.

"If you're looking for efficiency, I'd recommend using a powerful lethal spell directly. If you make sure that the power of the Require is sufficient, then it is not impossible to go straight to the Requisition. ”

Professor Kettleburn gave his most mature advice when faced with the situation in front of him. Compared to the dragon's scales, the scorpion's fur is just as tough and resistant to spells, but it does fall short when it comes to reflecting spells.

They are more dangerous than fire dragons, and more in their intelligence, as well as in their more insidious ways of action.

Has the power of a powerful predator, but prefers to act in the shadows of the Assassins. In literary terms, this is called the self-esteem of a strong person. To put it simply, this magical beast, from a human point of view, is a little more shameless than a fire dragon.

But the way of survival can be disagreed, but it can't be criticized.

Although Professor Kettleburn gave advice, to be honest, among the few professors present, I am afraid that few of them can really use the Death Requisition Charm well.

Avada Suo, a very simple spell. When using it, you need to pay attention to even fewer casting points than clear water like a spring.

But...... It can be used superbly and powerfully, and this depends on persistent accumulation.

Huge mana output, as well as a strong killing intent output.

When it comes to magic, the professors don't have a problem. But the killing intent ...... This thing can't be held back by their group of teachers.

And while they were discussing, the sphinx over there did not make a move, but instead seemed to be watching them with great interest to discuss countermeasures.

This state of affairs made Professor McGonagall very uneasy.

The current state should not be enough to use that spell. But the anticipation and apprehension in my heart still can't help but emerge.

But after a moment, she reined in her thoughts.

The spell was meant to be used as one of the cards to defend Hogwarts.

If you use it now, it will only make others jealous and protect yourself.

"Anyway, get ready to fight!"

Professor McGonagall pointed her wand forward, and the ground beneath the scorpion-tailed scorpion, which she was looking at with relish, suddenly became soft, and his body sank involuntarily, as if it had fallen into quicksand.

But the face that looked like a human being showed a humane mocking expression at this time, and it smiled contemptuously, and then with a hard effort, it broke free from it.

Of course, there were several different colored spells.

Paralysis Spell, Sleepy Spell, Demolition Spell......

The effects of lethargy and paralysis are not visible at all. The Demolition Charm seems to have blown off a few hairs from it?

It was so subtle that Professor McGonagall didn't even see it.

"Are their defenses so outrageous?!" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but look at Professor Kettleburn, and asked her own questions.

Professor Kettleburn opened his mouth and looked at the giant beast opposite, as if he had lost his mind,

After a few moments, he responded, "I don't know! ”

"But, in theory, this shouldn't be the case."

The expression on Professor Kettleburn's face grew solemn.

He didn't think it was a matter of individual differences in a particular sphinx. Obviously, this degree of difference is not a problem that can be explained by individual differences.

"There may be an artificial element involved. Seriously, I'm sorry, but Professor McGonagall, we'd better leave this one alive if we can. ”

"If I can, the one over there from the students, I'll leave it alive for you to study."

Professor McGonagall certainly wouldn't be surprised by the scorpion's high resistance.

If the magic resistance is high......

Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and a huge knight's spear appeared on the castle wall, stabbing the sphinage in the belly.

The sphinx manticores eat pain. After howling, it flew towards it.

At this moment, Professor Kettleburn, along with several other professors, stepped forward without command, activating their best protective magic, or blocking magic, to stop the scorpion-tailed scorpion, which was about to thrust forward, and prevent it from getting any close to Professor McGonagall.

And knights' spears, greatswords, and even large meteor hammers appeared on the walls one after another. They swung and attacked the scorpion-tailed scorpion-tailed in a brutal assault.

All other professors have to do is protect themselves. Or once in a while, cast two spells that don't help you to deal damage.

Not much, though.

The whole process is orderly and simple and straightforward.

Professor Kettleburn couldn't help but sigh that if the action against the fire dragon had been so easy, maybe he would not have lost his leg.

He now has only one and a half limbs left, and of course, what he lost was not just an accident, but the accumulation of decades.

However, he also knew that this kind of beautiful combat style was rare to see in most places except Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall isn't just a famous Transfiguration master in the UK. She is a world-renowned master of Transfiguration.

Such a Transfiguration Master is not something that those Fire Dragon Sanctuaries can hire.

Professor McGonagall didn't know what was going on in the mind of the professor who was sighing. She didn't care at all. An old professor older than her, she doesn't need to worry about psychological problems.

Luke: Their safety is what she cares about right now.

The thought of that laughing harmless little bastard tickled the roots of her teeth.

She didn't believe that Luke didn't know anything about it at first. And Luke didn't believe he could hide it from him at first. So he said everything he could. The rest is undoubtedly what Luke knows and can't say.

Professor McGonagall even felt that Luke knew even the type and number of creatures that had been attacked.

But could such information really be given casually? Professor McGonagall wasn't sure what the idea was with this information. But now, she knows.

No matter how Luke prepared, it seems that the strength of the remaining three magical beasts should be far beyond Luke's expectations.

Listening to the scorpion-tailed scorpion's angry roar and howl not far away, Professor McGonagall's heart became more and more uneasy.

If the information on that letter was sugar-coated, then these strange magical beasts must be cannonballs.

What the hell are they, no, behind them?!

With this in mind, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but increase the intensity of her output again, and two great axes stretched out from the ceiling of the hallway, slashing at the sphin-tailed manticore.

……

On the other side, the door of the auditorium was easily pushed open.

The latch didn't do much. However, Luke still noticed that although the tools used to knock on the door were iron rods, the two ornate doors were not damaged in the slightest, and even the relief paintings on them showed no signs of being damaged.

It was sturdy enough to remind him of his previous life, when he was young, he played a game with a hero who held a gate as a shield.

If the door could be removed, it might be nice to give Klopp a shield. The giant's own magic resistance, plus this shield, is definitely enough to take on the heavy responsibility.

It would be better if he could be smarter.

Three magical beasts rush in, one looks fierce and cruel, one looks vicious and dangerous, and the last one looks ......

Vicious but stupid?

Luke couldn't tell how it felt. I always felt that the troll was silly, but for some reason, Luke didn't react when he saw Voldemort bat, but when he saw this troll, he subconsciously felt dangerous.

He has always had this kind of unreasonable intuition, but after his intuition made a foreshadowing, he would often check it before taking action. Of course, in general, intuition is accurate.

The fact that the three fantastic beasts didn't attack as soon as they came in also gave the students a little bit of confidence.

"They don't seem to dare to move."

Pansy Perkins sat in her place and said with a sigh of relief.

Her voice was not small, and Luke, who was not far away, naturally heard it.

He followed the voice and looked at it, this girl was a very interesting character, in the original book, bitter, ugly, all the words you can think of that are not good, it seems to find a corresponding place in Rowling's description.

And in the movie, the original actor was changed because he was too beautiful, and then he went through many role changes, probably because Rowling really hated the role, so the actor became uglier and uglier every time.

But the girl in front of her, although she is not very beautiful, is not very ugly. Looks neat and neat with short black hair and a fresh face with some pride.

It's not a very standard aristocratic lady's look. It looks a lot more low-key.

It may also have something to do with the family style of the Parkinson's family. A pureblood, but neither time did he belong to the lineup of the two Dark Lords. Rational to the point of being amazing.

Although it may not be as good as the Malfoys's steer, the left and right sources can eat so openly. But the Parkinsons don't need to be too open-minded. Keeping a low profile is their means of preserving themselves.

A handful of conservatives among the aristocracy.

Pansy only seemed to notice Luke's gaze at her, so she blushed and whispered, "Because they really haven't moved." ”

She thought Luke was looking at her because she said something wrong.

Of course, Luke wouldn't think the girl was good-natured just because of her gentle voice now, because after talking to him, Pansy glared back at a half-race classmate.

It's no wonder that this can be a good stubble.

It's a long story, but in reality it's just a matter of seconds of stalemate.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Luke always felt that the troll was looking at him.

By this time, Professor Sprout and Hagrid had risen and stepped closer.

Look at the three magical beasts that stared at Professor Quirrell and looked at the entire auditorium with vigilance and greed from time to time. Professor Spratt pulled out his wand, which had an unpretentious appearance and looked like a longer tachyon.

Like Professor Spratt, her wand is somewhat unremarkable.

Especially when Hagrid raised his red umbrella, the other people's wands became something unremarkable.

"Get out of here! If you don't have a place to stay, you can go to the Forbidden Forest first. We'll find you the right place and send you back. ”

Hagrid wasn't a professor, but now, here, he was the only one to speak. Because he is familiar with the three magical creatures in front of him, although the familiarity with Voldemort is only on paper.

But he wasn't stupid, looking at the three magical beasts in front of him, he felt that it was a good thing that they didn't attack immediately, but it also made him feel a little strange.

Why not just get your hands dirty? What are they afraid of?

And at this time, he just stared seriously at the sphinoid manticore, which seemed to be the leader. I want to have a conversation with it. But he didn't notice that the troll seemed to inadvertently glance at Slytherin's location.

And then even with the roar, there was a big stick of steel wielding.

Opposite it was Professor Sprat, one of the four deans, but he was undaunted!

It looks like a real critic.

Quirrell struggled inwardly, but decided to speak.

"Professor Sprout, be careful! That troll isn't simple......"

But before he could finish speaking, Voldemort Bat rushed at his face again, interrupting him.

At the same time, the long tail stabbed Hagrid. Hagrid dodged the reaction that didn't look like he was supposed to be. And with the little red umbrella, he began to fight back.

At this time, Luke gave Marcus, who had already stood up and was ready to fight, a look.
