Chapter 223: Dragon Transfiguration? Mythical creatures?
The dragon hovers over the plains, and the wizards around it are set off like ants.
Harry Potter's face turned pale with fright, and under the shock of Long Wei, he staggered and almost couldn't stand on his feet, but fortunately, Townsend next to him pressed his shoulders so that he wouldn't lose his temper too much.
"Magician, magician, a dragon?"
He looked at the magnificent creature in the distance, his pupils shrinking in shock.
"What kind of dragon is this? I've never heard of such a huge creature in the world! β
"Ukrainian iron belly. Chinese fireball dragon. Hungarian Tree Bee."
Hermione was doing a little better, trying to keep her composure, but her trembling body betrayed her fear.
She kept recalling all the knowledge she had learned about dragons, but it didn't match the hundred-meter-long, high-rise creature in front of her.
"Don't read it, this can't be a creature that exists in reality," Ron had already turned his head to look at it, "I'd rather believe it's still an illusion, if not. Merlin is on top, I'm sure the whole British wizarding community, no, I mean the whole world will be shocked. β
Harry didn't react to the words of the two, he was still immersed in his own speculation, looked at Townsend with a look of extreme incomprehension, and said:
"Professor Don the magician is a dragon, a talking dragon, he must be a mythical creature, Nidhogg or something. It's incredible! β
Townsend didn't answer, but Snape said in a deep voice, "Mr. Potter, myths are all made up, what you see, it's magic. β
"What kind of magic can do such a thing?!" Hermione reflexively asked, "Not even Dumbledore can do it!" β
She even ignored the politeness she had always maintained with her professors.
But Professor Snape didn't notice this, and for the first time, his always stiff and gloomy face took on a look of shock, but his restrained personality did not make him lose his temper like a young wizard, he just was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't know. β
"Maybe it's Transfiguration. Animagus."
"Animagus can't turn into a magical beast, let alone thisβ" Hermione retorted quickly, "It's not magical." β
"Now, it seems, none of us can talk about magic." Snape turned his head to see Townsen, still with a calm face.
"Professor Tang, you don't seem surprised, have you seen this scene in the future?"
"That's why you want to get in touch with the magician and know his powers. He was able to do incredible things."
Tang Sen just smiled and said, "Let's go on, this is a rare event." β
Obviously, the head of the Auror Command didn't understand all of this even more than Harry and other young wizards, as the magician said before, when faced with something unexplainable, people can only try to explain what they see with their own intelligible mind.
Faced with the dragon's threat, the minister raised his wand almost in a frenzy.
"I don't believe it! It must be an illusion! β
He swung his wand quickly and violently, the light of the spell striking the fine scales of the dragon's face, and then it sank like a stone into the sea without a ripple.
"Look!"
He shouted excitedly, and even jumped, "The spell has no effect, the same as before!" He's a fake! This dragon is a fake! β
The dragon's golden eyes looked at him with a mocking gaze, and raised its winged claws, its spear-like toes slowly reaching out to the minister's chest.
"You think you can scare me?" The minister roared like a madman: "Magician! You've been seen through by me! β
"You don't have the ability! You only dare to scare people with such little tricks! β
He puffed up his chest and yelled at all the Aurors and wizards present, "Look! Look at this scene! He's even slower than my grandma! He thought I was going to be scared off! β
"But I won't! I will not succumb to a shameful sinβ"
His roar stopped abruptly.
The Wingclaw's spear was light, piercing his iron spell as if it were unhindered, the tip poking into his chest.
This is a small part of the dragon's winged claws, but to humans, it is like being pierced by a giant pillar.
"How-"
The minister looked down at the giant thing on his chest in a daze, and then raised his head to meet the mocking golden eyes.
"It's true"
He muttered, and the wand in his hand fell limply to the ground.
Poof.
The winged claws stretched forward lightly, and the minister was torn apart, and his body exploded into a blood-colored mist in the face of the sheer force.
The whole plain was silent.
"It's true!!"
A scream of extreme terror erupted from the crowd, and the wizards began to retreat in a panic, and even those who were fanatics of magicians could not contain their fear of the unknown dragon.
"Don't panic! No matter how big it is, it's just a dragon! β
A brave Auror raised his wand and fired an eye spell at the dragon's golden eyes.
The other party had experience dealing with dragons, but Smaug was clearly different from the dragons of this world, and the spell only made his eyes narrow slightly.
Then, flapping its wings, it began to rise, higher and higher, until finally everyone heard the sound of cracking, the magic shroud, which was supposedly impassable by any life, shattered like glass under the impact of the dragon.
It soared above everyone's heads, the wind from its wings making it impossible for the wizards to stand still, and in the apocalyptic atmosphere, they felt the scorching heat coming from above them.
The wizards looked up and saw the dragon's belly glowing like magma, then its chest, which burned down its slender neck.
"It's over!"
Someone was sitting on the ground.
"We're all going to die, we're all going to die in the dragon's flames."
More people began to try apparition, but under the pressure of the dragon, most of them failed, and those who succeeded were even more miserable, removing only the upper body, and the lower body falling weakly in place.
Various broomsticks and cars soared into the sky, trying to escape the dragon's shrouded range, but they were soon blown back into the crowd by the fierce wind of the dragon's wings swinging, and many of the light of the spells struck the sky, including the green Requisition Charm and the red Imperius Curse, but the distance was too far away, and the spells either missed, and occasionally hit, without the slightest ripple.
At this critical moment, Snape reflexively grabbed Harry Potter's arm and pulled him behind him, and then he angrily questioned Townsen:
"Soothsayer, did you expect this scene too!"
"He wants to kill everyone! Is that what he's for? β
Tang Sen didn't speak, he looked at the dragon in the sky, the other party had already opened its mouth, the flame ignited in its throat, it began to descend and swoop towards the crowd.
No, it was swooping in the direction of Townsend and the others.
Snape felt creepy, his instincts telling him that his spell would not be able to stop the flames of the other party, and the illusion shifted. He may be able to cast it himself, but in this case, it is impossible to bring anyone else, whether it is a soothsayer or Harry Potter, to die in the dragon's flames.
Thinking of this, Snape gritted his teeth and stepped forward, facing the swooping dragon, raising his wand in his hand.
"Shadowless!"
His proudest self-created spell struck the dragon's scales with a crisp sound, leaving no trace.
"Quickly get smaller!"
"There are many obstacles!"
"All petrochemicals!"
"Avada suo!"
Snape waved his wand again and tried all the spells that might work, but they had little effect.
The dragon was already close at hand, and Snape could see the golden eyes staring at him, and the dragon flames that were about to erupt.
Unstoppable.
Snape realized that even as the best wizard among wizards, he would never be able to stop such a terrifying creature, and that he could not even delay, and that the only thing he could do was to use the illusion to avoid the edge.
He turned his head and stared into Harry Potter's eyes, the apparition spell unable to be chanted.
In this moment of despair, he suddenly heard Townsend laugh from the standing side.
He turned his head, and at this moment Townsend saw the most complicated expression ever on his face, ranging from extreme sadness and anger, to bewilderment, incredulity, and finally sudden relaxation and relief.
The dragon's fierce wind blew Snape's black hair like seaweed, and the massive dragon body suddenly began to rise as it approached the ground, and the dragon glided over the heads of several people like an island.
Then there was the flames, and the golden plains illuminated by the sun suddenly turned into fiery red, and the dragon's dragon flames finally spewed out, but they were not aimed at the crowd, but in the midst of people's fear and shock, wantonly vented in the plains outside the crowd.
The prairie burns.
Townsend could smell the scent of Snape's hair curling from the extreme heat, and they were almost the closest to the dragon's dragon flame, and they could fully feel the heat of the dragon flame and the magical power contained in it, which was so strong that it could not be attached.
When the dragon finished breathing, he rose tall again, soaring above the sky, and everyone could see the scorched earth.
The grass and dirt have long since disappeared, and the ground that has been melted by the heat glows like glass under the action of the sun, extending into the distance as far as people can see.
The landscape was altered, and it is conceivable that if such an attack had landed in the densest areas of the population, no one present would have survived.
The people trembled, trembled, and sat down on the ground in the joy of the rest of their lives.
Townsend stared at the dragon in the sky, then lowered his head to look at Snape.
"Looks like you need to slow down, Professor Snape."
"I didn't expect your reaction to be so violent, I mean, you should trust a soothsayer."
"A soothsayer will know when his death will come."
"I don't think it's today, at least."
