The artillery fire was still flying around, and the cannon fire fell on the surroundings and splattered countless pieces of gravel, but no longer splattered this way, some stray bullets were fired at the old man, but they turned an angle when they were about to hit him.

There is no doubt that the old man in front of him should be the same as him, the same kind.

"Is it an enforcer?" Leo struggled to get up from the ground, he had been prepared when he joined the army.

He is not the only magician in the wizarding world who has chosen to participate in this war, and some have not yet been discovered, while others have been imprisoned.

For this reason, the Magic Association also held an emergency meeting and came up with a temporary bill to impose penalties on the basis of punishment.

"I'm the one being enforced." The old man said.

The one who is being enforced? Leo's brow furrowed, and there was a slight doubt in his eyes.

"You're not here to get me?"

"Catch you?" The old man sneered, "You're not qualified enough, little one. ”

His hands were propped up on a pitch-black ebony gentleman's cane, and he slowly raised his head to look at the sky, "I'm dealing with something that is more troublesome than you." ”

Before Leo could recover from his doubts, he felt an incomparably terrifying magic spreading from afar.

The magic was so great that his soul seemed to let out a trembling scream.

His pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't move.

I don't know if it's my own subjective feelings.

In that moment, he felt like everything around him had been stripped of everything, the colors, smells, and lights, and the whole world was a lifeless black and white, silent.

But his comrades-in-arms were still charging at the German army in the distance, as if they had not noticed anything unusual around them.

One person didn't even see him at all, and ran straight at him, but instead of hitting him, it went straight through him.

Leo looked at all this in distraction, and at this moment, although he was still standing on this battlefield, he seemed to be in a parallel and dissecting time and space with everything around him.

He looked at Gayward, "What is this?" ”

"Mirror space, inherent enchantments, whatever you want to call it." Gayward muttered in a low voice, "A subspace type of magic that only the best magicians can cast. ”

"Did you do it?" Leo asked.

But Gaiward smiled and shook his head, "There is only one being in this world who can use this kind of magic. ”

Leo wanted to continue asking who the user of the magic was, but the next moment, a roar sounded in his ears, as if the roar of the engine had been amplified hundreds of times, echoing throughout the sky.

He slowly raised his head, and saw a huge phantom peeking down from the clouds on the gray sky.

The first to peek out of the clouds was a huge dragon head, with brass-colored vertical pupils overlooking the earth, with a terrifying dragon might.

Leo initially thought it was a wurm that was closer to a dragon, but when he saw the four legs and the huge pair of dragon wings, his head went blank.

There is a dragon in Hogwarts, and the teacher used that dragon as an example in his magical biology class.

So he could recognize that the dragon in the sky was undoubtedly a giant dragon, and it was also a young dragon.

"How so." Leo muttered, "The dragon is not."

"Perished, right?" Gayward took over.

He grinned slowly, "Fate is sometimes so dramatic. ”

"You've got too many dead here." Gaiward muttered in a low voice, "Dead to the point that even Hades can't react, huge souls are piled up on the battlefield, making this a special area of great magic.

It has also become the "key" for these beasts to enter this world. ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Under Leo's gaze, from the distant mountain, dozens of cannonballs dragged the tail flame and instantly broke through the speed of sound, and the sonic boom bombarded the dragon's body.

But apparently, the dragon's scales were recognized as the strongest defense in the world, and with a loud bang, the surging sound came from far to near, but the cannonballs didn't even hit the scales.

However, the cannonball was apparently designed specifically to deal with the dragon's scales.

Leo saw that there were more mechanical attachments on the scales, and the attachments underwent a series of changes, and the tail end even sparked into the scales, and he could hear some sizzling sounds and the sound of something shattering.

The next moment, he saw countless blood gushing out of the dragon's body.

"Roar!!

The dragon visibly felt pain, roaring in pain in the sky, and then turned its gaze to the distant mountains.

Leo followed its line of sight, and above the gorge of the Meuse, behind a unique alchemical cannon that did not belong to this era, stood an old man with gray hair.

After the Gayward incident, Martin had almost retired, rarely attending magical events.

So young people like Leo don't recognize him.

However, Leo knows that in the world of magic, age is an important criterion for judging whether a person is strong or not.

Because the most important thing in magic is the reserve of knowledge, and the longer a person lives, the greater the reserve of knowledge.

Time is a precious thing in the wizarding world.

The dragon raised its head slightly, revealing his majestic chest, which reminded him of a Doberman Pinscher he had raised, showing a bow-shaped shape that gave him a sense of power.

It took a deep breath, as if gathering strength, and the next moment, it opened its jaws and let out a roar like a landslide.

The terrifying sound spread in all directions, countless sand and stones splashed everywhere, Leo covered his ears with a painful face, he felt the earth tremble, and his internal organs were about to be shattered by this sound.

His eardrums also made a buzzing drum noise, though it was more like the sound of a flame.

Leo opened his eyes again, and the heat came in front of him, and he saw the dragon erupt a pillar of fire.

The scorching flames seemed to distort the space, and the raging heat wave hit his hair, Leo only felt a burning of his face, his coat that had been wet for dozens of days was quickly dried by the heat, and some water vapor surrounded him.

The pillar of fire slammed straight into the opposite cliff, and the surging energy spread out in all directions, exuding a dazzling light, accompanied by a loud sound that seemed to destroy the world.

Leo only felt that the earth was trembling, and the dim sky was ignited by the flames, a scene of the end of the world.

When the flames dissipated, all that was left was a huge pit, and the old man had disappeared.

Leo's mouth was slightly open, he was completely speechless.

The dragon at Hogwarts had not yet entered his youth, so even though the books repeatedly described the dragon's terrifying combat power, he still had no real feeling, but at this moment, he had a very clear understanding of the dragon's power.

It's a kind of, hopelessly powerful.

Life is not at the same level as human beings

"Tsk."

The old man on one side also let out a sigh of emotion.

"What a horrible guy." Gaiward muttered softly, "If you really let it appear in the human world, I guess. This war will end early. ”

"What should we do?" Leo asked anxiously, "Are you going to find the Magic Association?" ”

"That piece of waste that just got sent flying is someone from the Magic Association." Gay Ward said calmly, "It's useless to go to the Magic Association, no matter how many people come, it's just cannon fodder." ”

"That Us"

"Take a few steps back." Gaved pestle his cane in both hands, staring at the dragon that was gradually shifting his gaze to this side.

"Wait until the fight starts, I can't control you."

"Wait a minute." Leo couldn't help but ask, "I don't know your name yet."

"Whew~"

A dark blue flame appeared out of thin air, and suddenly all around him, the color that had been taken away by this special space gradually recovered under his magic.

The flames flickered and reflected the old man's face, and the heat caused his clothes and hair to sway like the fireworks around him.

Leo watched all this in distraction, and another passage from The Dark Lord came to his mind.

[As if he were not in a prison, nor was he a prisoner to escape, but a king, wandering around his territory.

The blue flames were like the flames of hell, and like his throne, around him.

His subjects chanted the name of the Dark Lord—]

"Gayward Hognig."

Gay Ward said with his back to him.

"That's my name."
