Chapter 123

The collapsed gravel smashed countless waves in the sea, and the top of the collapsed cliff was the crystallized land glowing with fiery red light. On the devastated land, acrid black smoke was rising.

Although the magic world has been peaceful for a long time, the magic of wizards is a tool for war after all. Extreme elitism is a very normal phenomenon among wizards, and so is the extremeization of magic. Magic that serves war is also fundamentally different from ordinary spells.

Although Cedric used this magic, compared with the full version of Professor McGonagall, the gap is immeasurable.

AoE spells have no effect on the demons, because the scattered power will be absorbed and reversely strengthen the enemies they fight.

But what if the dispersion of power can be prevented?

Atmospheric deformation—the true appearance of the cloud explosion is that the wizard first builds a closed cage, and then shrinks the cage, causing an overpressured, ultra-high temperature cloud explosion effect. The continuously shrinking cage will continuously compress and increase the power of the cloud explosion until it smashes all the anti-magic skin of the demons and prevents any trace of magic from leaking out.

The activated transformation that Professor McGonagall is good at does not perform well in the abyssal battlefield, and her second-stage transformation of Animagus is biased towards survival and stealth enhancement, and has not improved the power of casting spells. Atmospheric deformation is a supplement she researched, but this magic is still flawed. It is not suitable for the main battlefield where the demons are dense.

But because of the Animagus in cat form, her battlefield positioning has always been a high-level assassin who sneaks into the depths of the enemy and looks for opportunities to kill high-level demons with one blow. This magic is a branch of transfiguration that she tailors for herself.

But no matter what, when this kind of killing magic that is dedicated to war is used, it also has the ability to crush ordinary magic in all directions. All the power of this compound transformation is directed to the improvement of destructive power. This is a special spell group that belongs to transformation.

"Nice job, Seid!"

The enthusiastic hugs of the rough men almost didn't make Cedric burp on the spot. Cedric, who was flushed with shame, gasped like a bellows. Just when he was about to yell at these bastards, he saw Qiu Zhang's bright eyes, and Cedric, who immediately calmed down, raised his head and chest, showing a sunny and handsome smiling face.

"This guy should be dead, right?"

A group of people flew towards the ruins of the castle. At this moment, the lingering land still exuded a sweltering heat. The clay dragon had disappeared, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's dead, even if it's a real fire dragon, I feel like I have to become a delicious dragon steak."

Everyone couldn't help cheering, celebrating their final victory.

"Congratulations, you guys did a great job."

A familiar voice broke into their ears, and Harry's figure appeared at the edge of the castle ruins at some unknown time.

"Don't you burn your feet, leader?"

Fred jokingly shouted that they were still more than ten meters away from the ruins while riding on the broom, but the oncoming heat wave still made their skin dry, and Harry was less than one meter away from the red land.

"Although this battle was well played, you have to remember that opening champagne at halftime is a bad thing."

"Have you seen the corpse? Have you checked before approaching? Are you sure you killed it?"

"The prototype immediately appears! Alien appearance!"

The muzzle of ebony and white ivory swayed out circles of thin translucent ripples. The prototype is now capable of detecting magical fluctuations within the range. It is mostly used to check traps and camouflage. The alien appearance is the same as the human form appearance. It can break a certain intensity of invisibility and mimic effects, and mark the target. They are not difficult, and they are very practical entry-level spells.

A faint blue light and shadow is particularly eye-catching on the black and red land, to be precise, it is a pool of faint blue light and shadow.

The Swamp Deformation Slime did not die under the atmospheric deformation and cloud explosion, which Cedric's half-finished product was not considered. As a slime fluid creature without a fixed shape, the slime was completely immune to physical blows such as blunt blows, impacts, cutting, etc. Although physical blows with magic power could take effect, they still could not cause full damage.

On the contrary, the instant thousands of degrees of magical flames caused extremely effective damage to it. After being discovered, the slime, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, jumped up violently, and more than ten hideous monster heads grew out of a mud ball with a diameter of less than three meters. The repeated purring sounds seemed to be threatening Harry.

"If you approach rashly, I don't need to say more about the result."

"The ice freezes."

A string of dense magical flames flashed across the muzzle of the white ivory, and the hot ground was completely cooled in just a few seconds. The hardened ground would make a crackling sound when stepped on, and the crystallized soil and gravel were as brittle as glass.

"If you use your brains, this guy is actually not too troublesome to deal with."

"What are slimes afraid of?"

He posed the question, and the answer was obvious.

"Dehydrated and frozen."

The embarrassing members of the regiment spoke in a friendly voice.

"Then isn't that right?"

"You can't penetrate its magic resistance, but you can create ice that freezes its body."

"Just like this - the ice freezes!"

The black sandalwood let out a dull roar, ignoring the Freezing Curse of the outer layer of magic resistance skin, and froze a rapidly spreading ice crystal in the mud slime's body. The originally fluid body gradually turned into hard frozen soil, and the frozen mud slime was completely frozen in seconds before it even had time to stretch the newly transformed wings.

"And then we just punch lightly—"

The ball of frozen earth that was instantly shattered fell apart under Harry's unpretentious heavy blow, and the fine slag splashed on his body, which made people hurt, but the unlucky children who accidentally got hit a few times could only grunt sullenly. They felt that what they did before was really stupid.

Although they couldn't punch rocks like Harry, but since they could freeze this guy, they could slowly cook it up. As long as they had enough time, dealing with a frozen slime was not a simple matter of pinching.

"Although there is a bit of a team look after the flight, everyone can find their own position and contribute their own strength, but before take-off, your cooperation is a mess. It's not your fault. Hogwarts does not have relevant teamwork training, but as members of the warband, you should learn to let go of that stupid school distinction."

"You should all remember the last Triwizard Tournament deeply. Professor Grindelwald's evaluation at the beginning of last year was also appropriate. Since Hogwarts can't teach you teamwork, you will forget about the so-called school division from now on."

"You have just experienced the loopholes in the cooperation of the four colleges, and you have also experienced the tacit cooperation when flying in the sky. In my war group, there is no need for the so-called factions and colleges. Those redundant burdens will only hold us back. Are you joining the war group just to win the championship of the Academy Cup?"

"Three years later! We will enter the Quidditch World Cup!"

"How can a group of loose sand compete with professional teams from other countries in the world?"

"Marcus!"

Harry turned to look at the Slytherin gorillas headed by Marcus, "Tell me, what did you do before you took off?"

Marcus, who was named by Harry, was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, this rough man blushed suddenly. He faltered and didn't know what to say, and he seemed unable to say anything.

"Then what happened after you rode the Nimbus 2000 and took off with your comrades?"

"I'm the Windbreaker!" he almost howled, "Whatever is ahead! I'll smash it! Make a way forward!"

"So, as a member of the battle group and not a Slytherin, what did you really do tonight, instead of being confused like you were on the ground?"

"Yes, it is."

Marcus nodded. Before taking off, he really didn't know what he could do, what he should do, but since he rode the Nimbus 2000, he didn't even need to use his brain to understand where he should be, what he was best at and what he should do best.

"What about you?"

Harry looked at the other Slytherin students who had been completely soy sauced in the first half. These big and three thick guys glanced at each other, and then nodded silently, perhaps agreeing with what Harry said.

"Look, after throwing away the so-called college distinctions, each of you can find the most correct position for yourself. A quarrel with Gryffindor is more refreshing than a tacit battle?"

In fact, there has always been a small conflict within the war group. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff get along well, but Slytherin is incompatible. They have the smallest number and are the most unpopular. Kicking Slytherin out seems to be a once-and-for-all solution, but this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution.

In the future, the wargroup will definitely not only recruit Hogwarts students. If the so-called 'factions' are not resolved, subsequent management will be very difficult. What Harry needs is not a heterogeneous group, but an integrated team.

Everyone who just joined the battle group will have their own independent label, and all he needs to do is to tear off these independent labels and put a label on them that only belongs to the battle group.

Team building Team building, isn't it just team building? The battle that was deliberately arranged tonight is to let them intuitively see the internal inconsistency and flaws at the moment. Harry never treats people as fools. After experiencing this intuitive and simple truth, they can all understand it.

"I hope that each of you will think carefully when you have free time. The war group is not just my war group, but our home together. A person's power is limited, and to achieve our goals, we need more and stronger forces to come together and twist into one rope."

"Go and rest, get enough energy to rebuild our castle tomorrow, leave the night watch to me, and you can sleep in peace."

Although the temporary house transformed by the transformation technique cannot be used for a long time, it is enough to isolate the sound of the howling wind outside and the humid cold at night.

The crackling bonfire illuminates the broad back of a person, which is more reassuring than any defensive alarm.

After everyone fell asleep, Harry, who was sitting by the campfire staring at the starry sky in a daze, raised his hand.

"Work."

Silently, who had worked hard, was released by him, and the human figure transformed into black mist quickly shuttled under the night. The magical creatures they had cleaned up before, and the five-legged monsters slaughtered by Harry were all gathered together, and the recycling of skinned bones began.

————

It took them most of the day to rebuild the castle. Harry, who did not participate in the construction of the castle, was not idle either. He set up a cauldron and turned those bloody materials into a pot of thick soup.

Not everywhere can have a complete set of potion equipment available at any time. There is a separate chapter in the war pharmacy taught by Snape to Harry to teach potions scholars how to use the most basic equipment to refine high-quality potions with uncompromising efficacy. Although this will sacrifice a certain taste, compared to its superiority, the side effects are nothing more than sprinkled water.

What's more, Harry was different from Snape. Without some kind of indescribable talent bonus, the potions Harry brewed were unpalatable at best. He definitely wouldn't be like Snape, who obviously poured down the corresponding antidote in time, but died of poison that even the forensic doctor couldn't dissect to show signs of poisoning.

A potion that even the god of death would retreat three feet away. In this world, there is only Snape, and there is no other semicolon.

When the potion exuding a clear blue light was distributed, they couldn't wait in their hearts. Compared with the potion Harry prepared for them before, today's potion is more than one level higher in appearance alone.

In order to save costs, he practiced brewing potions by the way. The potions and supplements used in the training of the battle group before were all made by Harry. Those potions that can relieve muscle pain and make up for the deficiency of the body taste very bad. They are either bitter or bitter and spicy. It is a torture, but the effect is really good.

"The material comes from the magic core of the five-legged monster. Although I have refined it a bit rough, the effect will not be discounted. It is almost enough to pay for the strengthening needs of two fingers."

"Two fingers?"

"Is it so little?"

The twins gave me a brave look, but Harry just smiled and didn't answer.

"Before you start, you take this, slowly input the magic power in, and light up the small bulb on it." Harry handed out a small short stick similar to a match, which was a magic power meter that he tinkered with. The principle is very simple. A white crystal, which is often used to make flares, is inlaid on a small piece of magic wood. It only needs a small amount of magic power input, and the crystal will emit light.

"I define the magic power that can light up this small white crystal as a trace. If it is quantified, it is about 0.01. Because there is no energy storage structure, the white crystal will stop glowing after you stop inputting magic power, and the magic power you use to strengthen your body is only a trace every time."

"If there is too much, you can't bear it. This is the lowest limit I have explored. If it is less, the magic power will not substantially strengthen the body. After getting used to it, the best magic power is about five wires. This is the limit of normal people's tolerance."

"The magic power needed to strengthen a finger muscle is about five silks. As long as you can complete five successful injections and fully combine the injected magic power with the muscles, then you have taken the first step towards success."

"As long as you have enough willpower to endure this pain, it only takes half a year, and you can have a strong right hand that can crush the Bludger."

"Try it, I have simplified all the processes required to strengthen the body, the only thing you need to master is to measure this tiny trace of magic power, and then integrate this trace of magic power into your muscle skin."

Harry took the lead in demonstrating. He drank the potion with his head up, took out a matchstick that was thicker than the others without frowning, lit the white crystal at the tip, and then tapped the lit end on his collarbone. Harry had finished strengthening his arms and shoulders, and now he was starting to strengthen his shoulder and neck muscles.

The faint light on the stick flashed away, and the thin magic power pierced his skin like a needle. The muscle twitched instantly, and Harry, who was covered in bruises, clenched his teeth tightly. He had gradually become accustomed to enduring such pain, otherwise he would not have behaved so calmly when he smashed rocks with his fist. Expression changes.

In just a few seconds, fine cold sweat drenched Harry's clothes. After being frozen in place for almost half a minute, he reluctantly put down his trembling hands and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Like this."

He showed a hearty smile, exposing a mouthful of white teeth.

It was obviously a warm smile, but for some reason, it gave everyone in front of him a cold and pale look.

"Try it. It's really painful, but it's barely within the tolerable range. Don't worry, if you accidentally hurt yourself, I still have the life potion brewed by Professor Snape himself. Even if you are only half breathed, Death will not try to take anyone away."

The people who almost couldn't sit still tilted their buttocks. Snape's potion is the ultimate punishment for the disgrace in Hogwarts. There is no one!

Many people have already started to retreat in their hearts. Compared with the eagerness to try at the beginning, at this moment they feel a little weak in their hearts for no reason.

"Try it and try it!"

As the number one loyal ministers who had received a large amount of research funds from Harry, the twins stepped forward bravely at this moment. Lighting up and maintaining the glow of the crystal requires a certain amount of magical power perception. This is not a problem for them, but after a short while of groping, they have already found the trick.

Looking up, they took a sip of Harry's potion. The bitter taste as usual was not greatly changed by the beautiful color of the potion, but they could still accept it after being barely used to the taste. When the effect of the potion dissipated, the twins suddenly felt that they became sensitive.

"Super-sense potion?"

They immediately tasted something in Harry's potion.

"Yes, I added a drop. This is a kind of cheating method I researched. At the very beginning, the fusion of magic power and physical body does not need to be too precise, at least not when strengthening fingers, so you can use a little trick to let you get used to the feeling of magic power enhancement."

"That's great!"

The twins smiled cheerfully, and then they looked at each other. They pressed the bright white crystal tip to the fingertip of the index finger, allowing this magic power to penetrate into the muscle of the fingertip instantly.

When everyone opened their eyes wide to see the effect, the twins' movements froze. The corners of their mouths twitched as if they were petrified, and their bodies began to tremble. Suddenly they fell to the ground with their eyes fully turned up.

Just when they were about to step forward to check, the twins who were twitching in place suddenly tensed up, as if hit by a petrification spell, and lay stiff on the ground.

"Dead?"

The horrified eyes were focused, and a strange atmosphere spread at this moment.
