Chapter 501 Ivan: I’m Sorry, I’m Not a Normal Person! (2 in 1 4000 Words)

So both Sirius and Lupine felt unbelievable after hearing the news.

"Of course! But to be precise, I just defeated the remnant soul of the Dark Lord and those troublesome Horcruxes!" Ivan explained.

He was not so confident that he thought he could defeat Voldemort. He could only rely on the plot to bully the Dark Lord who had lost most of his power.

"Don't underestimate yourself, this is already amazing. I can't imagine that you could do these things when you just entered school two years ago." Lu Ping said with emotion.

Sirius fell into hesitation. Although he knew that Ivan had outstanding abilities, Ivan's age was too confusing. He could not convince himself to let a little devil follow him to do such a dangerous thing.

"If you are worried about my safety, then there is no need. I am capable enough to protect myself. Those Inferi pose no threat to me. It is you who should be worried!"

Ivan talked freely. He was so concerned about this matter. Not only was he worried about the safety of Sirius and Lupine, but more importantly, he suspected that Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts during the summer vacation and was investigating Horcruxes. !

Maybe the target is the Slytherin locket that was replaced in the cave!

Ivan doesn't want to hear the news of Dumbledore's death when the next school year starts. He is too weak now, and the wizarding world cannot do without the protection of the old professor.

So it is necessary to go to that place to confirm.

"As for my strength, Sirius, you should know it very well. Don't forget who caught you in the first place." Seeing that Sirius didn't answer, Ivan couldn't help but irritate him.

"Is there such a thing? Sirius, this is the first time I know that you have lost to a child?" Lupine turned to look at Sirius and said jokingly.

"That's because I escaped from Azkaban, was hungry for several days, and didn't have a wand, otherwise I wouldn't have lost!" Sirius' face darkened, and he defended forcefully.

But when he recalled the original scene in his mind, Sirius felt a little evil.

I used my Animagus to disguise myself as a big black dog, so that even the patrolling Aurors couldn't find me, but I was caught out by a twelve-year-old kid. How can I make sense in this?

In addition, Ivan's magic that can turn people to stone by looking at him has always been fresh in his memory. It is so powerful that it is unreasonable. Once he looks into each other's eyes, he can only be at the mercy of others.

However, feeling emotional does not mean giving in. He always believes that it is best not to let children participate in these dangerous things.

Thinking of this, Sirius sighed, looked at Ivan and said.

"Well, since you are so confident, let's compete again. If you can defeat me, I will agree to your participation in this operation! Otherwise, you have to stay here and wait for us to come back! "

Sirius was not completely sure of winning, but he still wanted to try his best to prevent Ivan from participating in this operation.

If he could avoid looking at each other during the battle, he figured his chances of winning would be quite high.

"Okay, then when will we start?" Ivan agreed without hesitation, even a little eager to try.

His strength has improved a lot since this school year, and he is worried that he does not have a suitable person to measure his level.

Seeing Ivan's promise so easily, Sirius couldn't help but feel that he had been underestimated, and immediately led everyone to the training room of Black Mansion.

After pushing open a door and entering, Ivan found that the place was very wide, as big as a small stadium. Various human-shaped targets are placed around, and many magic books are piled neatly on the table, which can be consulted at any time.

Sirius was also very proud to tell him that all the targets here were enchanted and would automatically dodge and attack. It was here when he was a student that he had developed dueling skills far beyond those of his peers.

"How's it going? It's too late to admit defeat now! Otherwise, you might have to suffer a little bit." Sirius raised his brows, looked at Ivan and asked.

Ivan was too lazy to answer, so he distanced himself from Sirius and pulled out his wand.

Sirius immediately understood what Ivan meant and took out the wand.

Lupine, as the referee, took Harry a little further away, and then motioned the two of them to bow to their opponents in accordance with duel etiquette.

"No need! In a real battle, your opponent won't tell you when to start!"

Sirius waved his hands. He didn't like this complicated duel etiquette. Then, before Lupine started counting, he curled up his lips and waved his wand without warning.

"Like this - Expelliarmus! (Expelliarmus)"

A red beam of light shot out from the tip of the wand

Ivan was well prepared. He raised his hand and flicked it, triggering another beam of light that collided with the former.

In the middle of the training ground, the collision of two magic spells erupted with a dazzling flash of light. As they melted into each other, they instantly collapsed into several small beams of light, releasing their power in all directions.

Lupine and Harry were affected and had to take a few steps back again, and used magic to build several invisible protective barriers to be safer.

"Professor Lupin, do you think Sirius will lose?" Harry looked at the two fighting on the field and couldn't help asking.

"Probably not," Lupine said hesitantly. Sirius's strength is among the best in the entire Order of the Phoenix. He has killed more than ten Death Eaters in his hands alone, and he has very rich combat experience.

However, his opponent was Ivan, a little wizard he had never seen through. Lupine could no longer be too sure, and Sirius had been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, so he didn't know how much strength he could retain.

Facts have proved that after more than ten years of imprisonment and torture, Sirius's senses have indeed become somewhat dulled.

Less than a minute into the battle, due to an oversight, Ivan was hit by two magic spells in succession. The iron armor spell blessed on his body suddenly shattered, and he took several steps back before he could stand firm.

"Collapsed!" Ivan was unyielding and struck out with another magic spell.

Sirius didn't even have time to react, the cursed beam was already in front of him.

At this moment, Sirius's body suddenly began to deform, and he became a lot shorter. He narrowly avoided the curse, and when he landed on the ground, he had already transformed into an Animagus form.

With the blessing of magic power, the big black dog was incredibly fast and extremely flexible, and ran directly towards Ivan.

Ivan didn't expect that Sirius would use this method to dodge his attack. After a backhand petrification spell was easily avoided by the opponent, he simply pointed his wand and hit the floor in front of him.

"Reducto! (Shattered to pieces)"

The violent magic directly blasted a big hole on the floor, and the flying pieces of wood flew out in a semi-circle under the guidance of Ivan's wand.

Sirius didn't dodge at all, letting the sharp pieces of wood hit him all over, scratching his fur and leaving bloodstains, and even embedded in his flesh.

"Sirius!" Harry who was watching was startled. Seeing that Sirius was injured, he became anxious and even wanted to ask Lupine to stop the fight.

However, Lupine shook his head.

"Look well, Harry! It's normal to bleed and get injured in battle! Sometimes it's worth using some minor injuries to get a chance to defeat your opponent!" Lupine explained.

But this was a real battle, and Lupine didn't expect Sirius to fight so hard in a competition.

Is it because they don’t want to lose to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, or because they don’t want Ivan to accompany them on their adventure?

Or maybe both, Lu Ping thought to himself.

At this time on the training ground.

Just as Lupine expected, Sirius used the strategy of exchanging minor injuries for victory.

Because in previous battles, Sirius found that he had no advantage in terms of reflexes or ability to control magic.

So if you want to ensure victory, you have to be unexpected!

In fact, Sirius has also done this. Now the distance between the two sides is extremely close, less than two meters apart. With his speed, he can subdue Ivan before he casts his next spell.

However, Sirius didn't have the slightest look of joy on his face. He jumped forward with a high jump and transformed back into his human form in mid-air, counting silently in his heart.

Three two one!

An irresistible resistance suddenly spread out in all directions with Ivan as the center, hitting Sirius directly and blasting him away.

"Collapsed!" "All turned to stone!"

Ivan did not give up this excellent pursuit opportunity. He fired two magic spells in succession within a second, one hitting Sirius, and the other blocking his turning.

Sirius was not panicked at all. When he dealt with the black-robed wizards last summer, he had seen Ivan use the magic ring, so this situation had been expected by him.

Or maybe he just did all this just to force Ivan to use this magic item, so that he could have a slight chance of winning!

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and two beams of light had hit him one after another. Sirius waved his wand, and his body twisted and disappeared.

"Expelliarmus!"

Behind Ivan, a voice sounded.

At the same time, Ivan activated the protective ring on his right hand, and the red beam returned along the original path but hit the open space.

Because Sirius is no longer there!

"Did you just use Apparition? But I remember you told me that it's best not to use this in battle!" Ivan turned his head and asked curiously.

"Yes, remember to keep this in mind. I almost got separated just now. Believe me, it was just a little bit close!" Sirius said jokingly.

There were some bloodstains on his arms and chest, but they were not caused by disembodiment, but were caused by the debris and wood just now.

Of course, Sirius did not deceive Ivan. He was only half sure that he could successfully release the teleportation magic just now!

Fortunately, he won the bet, otherwise he would have been separated, with only half of his body teleported over and the other half staying in place.

Although the split body would not kill anyone in a short period of time, and both Lupine and Ivan could help him get it back, he had no choice but to admit defeat in this battle.

This is also the reason why Sirius told Ivan not to use Disapparation in battles, because in most battles there is no option to surrender, and the opponent is not a fool and will do the last hit!

"Incendio! (Fire is blazing)"

While explaining, Sirius did not hesitate at all, waving his wand to summon a large flame and swept towards Ivan.

"The wooden table is coming!" Ivan flicked his wand, and the table leaning on the side flew in front of him, blocking the flames.

However, Sirius just hit the crushing spell, and the wooden table in front of Ivan exploded directly. Countless remains were wrapped in scorching flames, and under the control of magic, they had even more powerful destructive power!

"Tsk, you really think highly of me!" Ivan pointed directly at the wash basin not far away. With a pull, the water in the pool surged up, continued to proliferate, and condensed under the action of the transformation spell. Sweep away like a long snake.

"Stop, stop!" Lu Ping shouted loudly. He never thought that just a small competition would reach this point. He even doubted whether the current situation was out of control!

The two people who were focused on fighting had no time to pay attention to him. Ivan was very excited to combine the spells he had learned to induce the water in the pool, which almost restored the magic that Professor McGonagall used to put out the fire in the Forbidden Forest!

The two extremely powerful magics quickly collided and melted into each other. The sizzling sound echoed in the closed training room.

Thick steam rose up and spread quickly. From time to time, the remains of some wooden tables would fly out of the thick fog and hit the surrounding walls.

Lupine had to strengthen his protection again and used the obstacle spell several times before he felt more at ease. He kept staring in the direction of Ivan and Sirius, but it was already covered by fog and nothing could be seen.

Harry who was watching was also very anxious. He kept calling for Ivan and Sirius but got no response.

In the diffuse fog, Ivan looked around, wondering if Sirius had also cast magic in the fog. The fog became very thick and visibility was very low.

"Is it to limit my snake eyes?" Ivan murmured to himself, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the other party was worthy of being an elite of the Order of the Phoenix, with rich combat experience, and his actions were accurate both times.

Once he forced himself to use the magic ring, this time it was probably for Snake Eyes.

After all, it would be very uncomfortable to deliberately avoid the opponent's eyes in battle. With this layer of mist, you can avoid your own sight and launch attacks from any angle.

Although Sirius guessed his subsequent reaction twice in a row, Ivan was not discouraged. He knew very well that he was indeed weaker than Sirius in terms of combat experience.

The reason why he was successful in every battle before was entirely because he deliberately avoided his weaknesses, gave full play to his strengths, and used the special characteristics of blood magic to win unexpectedly!

Sirius had seen him use the magic ring and snake eyes before, and with the opponent's combat acumen, he could naturally think of ways to crack them one by one.

Just like now, when the vision of both parties is greatly reduced, the sensitive dog nose can help Sirius confirm his position, thus gaining an advantage.

Ivan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Sirius was afraid that he might have miscalculated this time. Normal people need to use their eyes to determine the direction in the thick fog, but unfortunately he is not a normal person!
