Food! Food!"
"Castle… Wizard… Delicious…"
"Hungry! So hungry! Eat them!"
Amidst whispers like demons, the ferocious and dangerous Acromantula swarm charged to the front of the covered bridge.
These monsters were enormous, running like galloping horses.
Their eight legs, covered in thick black hair, were like long spears, capable of easily piercing the ground, not to mention a person's body.
Coupled with their large chelicerae that could sever a human body and the venom they secreted, they were completely killing machines.
"Ah… a trap!"
"Tear… tear them apart!"
As the Acromantula swarm broke into the magical plant array jointly set up by Professor Sprout, Nina, and Hagrid, the Battle of Hogwarts Castle officially began.
For a time, screams, biting sounds, and snapping sounds were incessant.
Upon encountering the Acromantula, the Poisonous Tentacles and Venomous Fang Geraniums would inject highly toxic venom into their bodies with their thorns, quickly poisoning the Acromantula to death.
Meanwhile, Devil's Snare would bind and strangle the intruding Acromantula, while Biting Cabbages would bite off the Acromantula's long legs before tearing apart and devouring its body.
These magical plants, enhanced by Druidic secrets, inflicted massive casualties on the Acromantula swarm.
However, at the same time, their numbers were rapidly dwindling, as they were torn to shreds by the fierce spider swarm.
"Thump, thump, thump…"
Heavy footsteps resounded as Professor McGonagallmaneuvered the tall stone statues into the fray.
They were completely unafraid of the Acromantula's large chelicerae and venom, wielding long spears and greatswords to slaughter at will.
Cooperating with the magical plant array, they quickly halted the spider swarm's advance.
Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed within the spider swarm.
A hidden Dark Wizard didn't even react before his wand was knocked away.
And he himself was knocked to the ground, unconscious, and instantly torn apart and devoured by the surrounding Acromantula.
"I hate these spiders!"
Professor Flitwick showed a mixed expression of disgust and pity, raising his hand for another Expelliarmus, knocking down the Dark Wizard who was preparing a sneak attack behind him.
"Watch out! It's Filius of Ravenclaw! Take him down!"
Accompanying this command, seven ghostly green lights streaked through space, striking at Filius like lightning.
However, he showed no intention of defending or dodging, turning into an afterimage and disappearing with a laugh.
"Oh! Your name is Milo, isn't it? I truly love fighting with you!"
Feeling the head-on gale, Professor Flitwick looked down at the cat-leopard carrying him.
This magical creature not only had eyes capable of hypnosis and Legilimency, but it also ran faster than an arrow, with maximum agility and a strong body, making it almost impossible to kill.
Although the cat-leopard was not large, Professor Flitwick's stature was rather small, making him just right for riding the cat-leopard into battle.
"Meow!"
Milo looked up and glanced at Filius, his eyes showing clear disdain: Can you hurry up and get to work?
"Aha! You like me too, don't you?"
In his delight, Professor Flitwick waved his wand even faster.
Milo: (￣^￣)
Damn it! Not being able to speak is really annoying!
Everyone misunderstands what this cat means. As expected, Nina is the best; she can chat and communicate with me.
With the help of Milo, the cat-leopard, Filius didn't need to worry about dodging, even saving the need for a Shield Charm.
Considering that many students were watching from the rear, besides Expelliarmus, he also used many spells that Young Wizards master during the battle, and even some spells that seemed unrelated to dueling.
For example, using Trip Jinx and Sweeping Charm to make enemies lose their balance, or using Impedimenta to make enemies lose mobility.
If Expelliarmus, after breaking a Protego, was not enough to knock down or disarm an enemy, Petrificus Totalus or Stupefy would also be good choices.
This series of operations quickly defeated three more Dark Wizards, causing the Young Wizards watching the battle to exclaim repeatedly: So the spells we usually learn are this powerful?
"Avada Kedavra!" ×4
Four thick, ghostly green beams swept across, forcing Milo and Filius to constantly retreat and dodge.
All the Acromantula hit by the beams along the way were instantly killed, and deep gullies were blasted into the earth.
"These guys are problematic!"
Professor Flitwick frowned deeply; the aura of the remaining four Dark Wizards had become strange, and their spell power had also increased.
"With those statues, the Acromantula swarm cannot break into Hogwarts Castle."
A Dark Wizard looked up, his eyes glowing with a faint red light, his gaze sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Especially the magical plants, which were unusually active under the moonlight; their aggressiveness was simply too high.
"Charge onto the covered bridge! Kill those three Witches! Don't get entangled with this dwarf!"
This Dark Wizard took a longsword wrapped in black cloth from his back and, with the other three, charged towards the covered bridge.
"Milo! Charge! We need to stop… Huh? What's wrong?"
Filius urgently commanded the cat-leopard, but found that Milo seemed to be under some kind of threat, his fur bristling and teeth bared.
"Meow!"
After roaring in response to him, Milo maintained his distance from the four Dark Wizards, also running quickly towards the covered bridge.
Professor Flitwick waved his wand, casting several Expelliarmus spells from afar to try and block them.
However, they collided with the Dark Wizards' killing curses, only killing some Acromantula.
But relying on the cat-leopard's speed, they still arrived on the covered bridge a step ahead.
"Filius, what happened?"
Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Flitwick with concern, worried that he had been injured in the battle.
"Those Dark Wizards are strange, and Milo, he…"
Before he could finish speaking, Milo shook Filius off and jumped in front of Nina.
"Meow!"
"Danger?"
Nina quickly looked at the three Professors, "Milo found that the Dark Wizards are carrying powerful weapons; they are confident they can kill us with a magic sword."
Professor McGonagall narrowed her eyes, "Filius, you and Pomona take Nina back. Leave this to me."
None of the three present showed any intention of obeying her command.
"Minerva McGonagall! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Professor Sprout drew her wand without hesitation, "How could we let you face danger alone!"
"Aha! Minerva, don't forget you're only the Deputy Principal, I refuse!"
Professor Flitwick no longer held back, pointing his wand sharply towards the direction of the attacking Dark Wizards, "Bombarda!"
"Boom boom boom…"
A huge explosion immediately rang out, affecting a large number of Acromantula, all of which were blown into mangled remains.
"How reckless!"
Professor McGonagall's lips curved into a smile, transforming the huge stone bricks of the covered bridge into a pride of lions, which pounced into the smoke from the explosion.
"Careful!"
Professor Sprout exclaimed, seeing a flash of lightning tear through the smoke.
"Protego, Protego…"
In her haste, Professor Sprout quickly cast several Shield Charms.
However, in front of this lightning, all were instantly shattered.
"Minerva!"
