Chapter 222: I Am the Flame!
That being said, the morale of the Aurors was clearly not very high.
After all, the Aurors had never faced such a tricky and strange enemy as magicians in their careers.
Battles between wizards and wizards are usually uncomplicated.
To see who strikes first, who reacts quickly, and who is powerful, all that is commonly used is the Iron Armor Charm, the Disarming Charm or the Stun Charm.
Spell bombardment is basically not the norm, the battle usually ends within a few spells, for example, those dark wizards, they may be proficient in the Curse of Death, but a simple disarming spell can defeat them, they are all adult wizards, everyone's magic power is not too different, the danger of the Auror's work is only to be attacked by the opponent first.
But magicians are different. He stood in front of the Aurors, not even dodging, but those spells couldn't hit each other at all.
The other party doesn't seem to care about himself at all, and he doesn't even bother to resist!
After a series of attempts at the magicians, the spells fired at the magicians became more and more sparse, and the Aurors began to spend more energy applying defensive charms to themselves.
The cheers outside the magic shield grew stronger and stronger, and the minister's face became more and more ugly, and he realized that the Aurors' current behavior was not only useless, but more like cooperating with the magician's performance, adding to the other party's status in the hearts of the wizards.
Damn, it's clear that the other party is the criminal, but now it seems that the Ministry of Magic is making a wedding dress for each other's appearance like a bunch of useless clowns.
The situation became difficult and the Minister realized that it could not go on like this.
He looked up at the magician who had stood silently on the boulder the whole time, apparently not taking the Aurors' attacks to heart, and gritted his teeth.
"That's what the other party is for?"
"Attract everyone with money, and then prove that the Ministry of Magic can't do anything about him in front of everyone?"
He realized the seriousness of the matter, and if the other party really achieved his goal, it would be tantamount to admitting the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic, which would cause extremely terrible consequences.
"You can't follow the other side's intentions, you have to save the situation."
He raised his hand, halted the Aurors' attacks, and shouted, "Magician, stop pretending to be a ghost, I have seen through your disguise. β
"Your magic that can dodge attacks is flawed, and it seems that you are unscathed, but in fact, you have no way to attack us, right?"
He said these words more to the wizards outside the magic shield than to the magicians.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't just stand there like a coward, not even daring to pull out your wandβ"
He yelled:
"Your clumsy performances don't mean anything, you can't escape, the only ending is to be caught by us and judged by the law!"
The magician standing on top of the boulder finally moved, and he let out a chuckle as he lowered his head and looked down at the head of the Auror Command.
"Today is an important day."
He said slowly, "So, Mr. Auror, although you were rude to my welcome ceremony, I was not willing to start with a killing. β
His voice was not loud, and he did not use spells such as loud voices, so that wizards far away from the magic shield could not hear them clearly, so some wizards waved their wands, allowing the magician's voice to echo throughout the plain.
"I don't want to kill you, I don't want to destroy the Ministry of Magic, even if you define me as a criminal without permission, even if you call my forgiveness cowardice, even if your stupidity and arrogance will push the wizarding world into the abyss."
"However, the wizarding world needs a stable organization, and we are running out of time to waste time on such a trivial matter as reorganizing the Ministry of Magic."
"!" The minister sneered: "What you said is just to cover up the weakness of my heart that was exposed by me, unwilling?" No, you just can't! β
"You don't have the ability to know! You can't even resist, so you're trying to trick some people into helping you. β
"Don't dream, I can tell you unmistakably that no one can get in, and you can't escape."
The magician watched him silently, then abruptly disappeared in place.
The next moment, his figure ghostly appeared on the edge of the magic cover.
Da-da-da-
The staff tapped on the ground with his steps, and the magician stood lightly and unhindered through the translucent magic hood and stood outside the barrier.
Those who opposed the magician on the plain were taken aback, while those who supported the magician let out even more fanatical cheers.
The magician turned and looked through the magic shroud at the Aurors inside, spreading his hands.
"It doesn't seem to be as useful as you think, Mr. Auror."
"No, it can't be!" The minister's eyes widened, "What the hell are you?" Nothing can pass through this magic! β
Then he jerked and realized that now was not the time for small talk, so he hurriedly raised his wand and shouted at the Aurors, "Quick! Don't let him run! Get him! β
The Aurors hadn't yet moved, but they saw the magician walk through the magic shield again.
So they froze where they were.
"Why are you so surprised?"
There was a smile in his tone: "You don't think that I invited so many people here to show everyone how to escape from the Ministry of Magic, so as to discredit the Ministry of Magic?" β
"Nope."
He asked himself, "I never had to run away, and I didn't need to use the Ministry of Magic to elevate myself. β
"Put down your wands, let's end this unpleasant episode, we've been waiting too long."
"This is my last chance for you, and if I continue to waste everyone's time, I'm afraid I won't be so kind."
The Aurors hesitated, and even a few of them began to drop their wands pointed at the magician.
At this moment, the minister suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Waitβ"
He showed a look of sudden realization: "I figured it out!" β
"Raise your wands, don't be fooled by him!" He shouted excitedly: "He can't do anything, I've seen through his tricks!" β
"No creature can pass through the magic cover, not even a ghostβ"
He pointed at the magician, and his tone was sharp:
"This is enough to prove that this person did not exist here from the beginning, and what we see is only an illusion, an illusion, and it is precisely for this reason that he can only use words to induce you to cover up the truth."
"He's trying to scare you guys with this method, apparently, he used the same method at the Leaky Cauldron before!"
He summed it up in an almost growling tone.
"This is a liar, I can be sure that his real body is hidden in the crowd, and this is also the purpose of his guiding everyone here, to hide himself, to create chaos and panic, to deceive everyone in this way, to try to subvert the wizarding world."
The Minister's reasoning lifted the Aurors' spirits.
That's right, compared to believing that one magic is immune to all spells, including the unforgivable spell that is recognized as having no counter-spells, the Aurors haven't tried casting a life-requisition spell at a magician, but it still hasn't worked.
Obviously, an illusion-creating magic is more acceptable.
After all, magic that can create illusions is not uncommon, and although there is no fantasy magic that is as real or even sound as magicians have shown, it is clear that such magic can be studied.
Almost instantly, even the people outside the magic canopy began to believe that what the Minister said was the truth.
"I said a long time ago, a magician is a liar!"
Someone shouted excitedly: "There is no war, it is just a rat in the gutter relying on illusions to threaten and hear!" β
"An idiot would believe what he says!"
The supporters of the magician rarely did not scold back, everyone is a wizard, even if they do not have in-depth research on magic, they instinctively believe that the magician uses indeed illusion magic, such speculation did not affect their approval of the magician's remarks, but it has to be said that the mystery of being stripped of their powerful strength has made their trust in the magician begin to decrease.
When the minister heard what the people had said, he was so excited that his face, which had been pale from astonishment, turned rosy again, and he pointed his wand at the magician, and said, "Now what else do you have to say?" Do you think you'll be able to fool me with these little tricks? β
"Don't underestimate the Aurors! Damn criminals! I'm going to pull you out of the crowd! When the time comes, I'd like to see if you can keep your disgusting face up! β
Bang Bang Bang β
Crisp applause rang out.
It was the magician clapping, and he was smiling, unaffected by the accusations against him.
So those noisy sounds couldn't help but slowly disappear.
"Brilliant speculation."
Waiting for silence to fall silent again, the magician's voice spread across the plains, and he said with admiration in his tone, "I have to correct my statement, Mr. Auror, at least in your own job, you are not stupid. β
"You've found exactly the most plausible reason to explain what you've seen, to explain your powerlessness in the face of meβ"
He turned to look at the people outside the magic hood.
"I'm sure a lot of people, including those who supported me, agreed with his speculation."
"When people encounter something they can't understand, they always want an explanation that is within their own cognition, don't they?"
"It's still loading." The minister sneered: "Do you think anyone will still believe you?" β
The magician spread his hand and sighed lightly, "Mr. Auror, I said, you're not stupid, you're just-"
"Ignorance."
His body slowly rose until he flew into the air, looking down on everyone.
"There is always something in this world that is beyond your understanding."
He sighed and spread his arms.
"Gentlemen and ladies."
"I've always believed that thought is the weapon that unites us, and I'm not willing to use force to achieve my goals, and I've never been here to bring death, but to bring hope."
"But sometimes I have to use force to deter those who oppose it, to ensure that our ideals and goals do not die."
He looked at the Aurors and whispered:
"Mr. Auror, I'm curious how you'll explain what you're going to see next."
The minister still sneered, he saw through the magician's trick and didn't care about anything the other party said.
But the next moment, his smile froze.
The magician's body suddenly burst into flames, starting with just a few sparks, then flames, and finally the magician's entire body turned into a torch suspended in mid-air.
The incident did not end, the torch burned more and more violently, and began to spread in all directions, and soon, a vast sea of fire appeared above everyone's heads.
Then, all felt the creepy palpitations.
It was the instinctive reaction of creatures in the face of danger, and the wizards stared at the sea of fire, feeling that some extremely powerful and terrifying being had appeared.
The flames suddenly shook violently, as if a strong wind was blowing from within, and in the midst of the frenzied shock, one saw a small piece of black scales that occasionally appeared.
Screams and exclamations rang out in the crowd, but they were crushed by the louder roar of the dragon falling from the sky.
Two dragon wings stretched out from the sea of fire, then the slender dragon tail, and finally, everyone clearly saw that a pair of golden pupils poked their heads out of the sea of fire, carrying a fierce majesty, looking down on everyone on the plain.
"Dragon! Dragon! β
Someone sat on the ground.
"How can there be such a huge dragon?"
It's not any kind of dragon that wizards have ever seen, no, it's a creature that has never existed, not even in all the sources, and it's only possible in fantasy myths that such a majestic creature exists.
It hovered above people's heads, the wind of its wings spreading the flames in an instant, its body obscuring the sunlight and shrouding everyone in dark shadows.
"Calm down!"
The minister shouted frantically:
"Hallucination! It must still be an illusion! β
"It's a magician's trick! There is no such creature in the world! It's all fake! Don't be intimidated by him! β
Bang!
The dragon descended, and the entire Stonehenge was crushed and collapsed by its massive body, it was so huge, so large that the boulders looked like small stones under its wing claws.
Stonehenge, a World Heritage Site that is famous in England and around the world, was reduced to ruins with a cough, and the dragon unfolded its posture in the ruins, bending its slender neck slightly, and stretched the dragon's head, which was larger than a truck, above the minister, and looked down at him.
"Is that your explanation? Mr. Auror. β
It speaks fluent English and, surprisingly unbelievably, its tone is exactly the same as that of a magician.
But the momentum was completely different, and under the power of those golden pupils, the minister couldn't help but take a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.
"It's a shame, I thought you could make a better guess."
The minister clutched his wand and pointed it at the dragon, as if it would give him a sense of security, and he cried out in a trembling voice, "No! It's impossible! What the hell are you! β
"Hah-"
The dragon raised its head again and struck a very majestic pose.
"I am the flame, I am the death!"
"Obviously, of course you know who I am."
"Historyβ"
It paused.
"It's a magician!"
The recent plot is a bit difficult to write, and today I sat in front of the computer for eight hours, and I have been revising and revising, just over 4,000 words.
Lie flat and laugh at it. I'm really too little updated.,I really don't want to reduce the quality.,So I usually write slowly.,Important plots are even slower.,Sorry!!
