Chapter 177 Obscurus and the Girl Who Committed the Crime (Completed by the Leader)
"Come out! The ants hiding in the tower!"
Smaug assumed what he thought was the most majestic posture and roared wantonly.
Could it be that he could come out of the dark sea of consciousness and there was no time limit? Smaug didn't seem to be anxious at all. If possible, he would even want to quarrel with the wizard in the tower all day long.
Unfortunately, it soon realized that the language it came from in Middle-earth was not universal in this world.
Tang Sen did not climb on top of Smaug's head to show his presence, but hid far away. He now has no substitute paper man, and relying solely on flame jumping cannot give him a sense of security.
"With Smaug's power, ordinary wizards should just disapparate and escape."
Dragons are dangerous creatures in this world, but they are far from the top of the biological chain. Wizards are good at dealing with dragons. Even the best underage wizards can challenge dragons alone. But Smaug is obviously not the same as this world. The dragon is not a species.
Tang Sen believed that any wizard in his right mind could see the difference.
He didn't mind those dark wizards running away. He couldn't keep them anyway. With a bug-level spell like Apparition, Smaug certainly couldn't keep them. He just wanted to pass the text left by the dark wizard in the tower. Those newspapers, books or maps can find some information he needs.
But to Tang Sen's expectation, a wizard walked out of the tower.
Or rather, a witch and a little girl.
Tang Sen could see fear on the witch's face, but more of it was anger and madness, while the little girl had an expressionless face, as if a giant dragon hundreds of meters long was ordinary.
"Get out of here!" Tang Sen could hear the witch shouting towards Smaug, raising her wand.
Smaug couldn't understand it, but it could analyze it.
"Oh, I see fear, she's afraid of me, that's normal."
It uses its own ability to read the witch's heart.
"She cares about the tower behind her and the little guys around her. Oh, this is the reason why she dares to face me directly. She seems to have some trump cards."
"A trump card that you don't want to use."
"Oh, her trump card is the little guy next to her. She is very confident that this trump card can defeat me, but she is not willing to fight to the death."
"Strange, I don't see any special power in this little guy. She has a good disguise, which makes it difficult for me to read her mind. But this does not trouble the great Smaug. I have special mind-reading skills. "
Smaug lowered his slender neck and moved closer to the two of them, tilting his head slightly so that his golden eyes looked directly at them.
"Let me see. It's so weird, her emotions are pure black."
Smaug also wanted to observe more carefully to test his mind-reading ability, but the witch Nisrael obviously couldn't hold it in anymore. The dragon's power emanating from the approaching dragon almost made people unsteady.
She pulled the little girl back nervously a few steps, gritted her teeth, and waved her wand.
"Collapse!"
The magic light shot out, and Smaug did not dodge, letting the light fall on his black scales.
"Is this the power of wizards in this world?"
It tried hard to feel the magic spell: "I seem to be able to feel a little bit of sleepiness."
Nisrael couldn't understand what Smaug was saying to herself. Her spell ability was not very advanced. The only thing she could cast silently was the simplest floating spell. She was really powerless to face the giant dragon, but she had to face it.
The magic in the tower was her nearly ten years of hard work and she was almost successful!
She waved her wand and used the most effective method to deal with dragons, shooting an eye curse at Smaug's golden eyes.
Smaug narrowed his eyes slightly. The curse hit the eyelids covered with fine dragon scales, but had no effect.
"Can't you just stand there and let me observe? You can just chat casually."
Smaug raised his head dissatisfied and looked down at them condescendingly: "It's rare to let them go. If we don't take action, it will be suspected of delaying time."
A fiery red color appears on its belly.
Nisrael knew what it was. It was common sense that fire dragons could breathe fire, although the dragon in front of her was different from the fire dragons she knew.
So she used the last spell that a dark wizard must know.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Green light shot out from her wand and fell on Smaug in an instant.
Smaug's movements stopped for a moment, and even the fiery red color in his abdomen was extinguished.
"Successful?" As soon as Nisrael came up with this idea, she saw that the light of the dragon's golden eyes not only did not dim, but lit up like a flame.
The angry roar of the dragon caused the dust to fly, the dragon's wings spread out, and the strong wind uprooted the trees.
Nisrael waved her wand to block the strong wind that almost blew her away. She raised her head and saw that the dragon began to glow fiery red again.
Obviously, the Death Curse was not ineffective on the opponent. At least compared to the previous two curses which had no response, the Death Curse successfully angered the opponent.
Smaug did feel the breath of death at that moment, although only a little.
"Is this the only way we can go?"
Nisrael held the little girl's hand, "Obviously the time has not come yet. Forget it, the accumulated spells applied over the years should be able to barely suppress a release. It's a pity that the souls need to be collected again."
She raised her wand and poked the little girl roughly on the temple.
The little girl had no reaction to all this, but her pupils and even her entire eyeballs turned completely black in an instant, and a black aura began to emit from her body.
"After ten years of careful cultivation, even I can't imagine what's inside you."
Nisrael had a crazy and frightened look on her face, but her body was trembling with excitement: "How powerful it will be!"
She raised her head and looked at the dragon fire that was about to spurt out, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Let me take a look in advance, come out—"
puff.
The witch's words stopped abruptly.
A smooth bloody hole appeared between her eyebrows.
At the same time, Smaug's figure disappeared in mid-air.
The tense situation disappeared in an instant, and as the witch's body crashed to the ground, the scene fell silent.
The girl's black aura returned to her body, and her eyeballs returned to normal.
She lowered her head and looked at the witch's body.
"Mother?"
A cold and emotionless voice sounded. The little girl knelt down and inserted her finger into the blood hole between the witch's eyebrows. Then she raised her hand, looked at the white and tender fingers stained with red and white, and tilted her head. .
"Dead."
She stood up, as if she had remembered something, and ran towards the tower with her legs.
Until her figure disappeared at the door of the tower, a flame was lit next to the witch, and Tang Sen's figure stepped out of the flames.
He looked down at the witch on the ground and then at the tower.
"Muran." He murmured: "We encountered something troublesome just after the start."
Tang Sen was sure that there was an Obscurus inside the little girl's body. Both the little girl's behavior and the witch's behavior proved this.
Obscurus is a power that usually only appears in young wizards. The reason for its appearance is usually because the magic power was extremely suppressed and unable to be released in childhood, and it was severely mentally stimulated.
This power is dark and powerful, but it is uncontrollable. Young wizards with Obscurus in their bodies usually do not live past the age of ten.
Tang Sen noticed that the little girl didn't look like she was under ten years old. Apparently, the witch had in-depth research on Obscurus. Not only did she delay the girl's death, but she also continued to "cultivate" the girl's body through certain methods. Of course, this dark force can become stronger and stronger.
Tang Sen didn't want to bet on who would win between Smaug and the unknown Obscurus. He was more willing to solve the problem from the source. It just so happened that the other party gave him a chance. The witch was attracted by the dragon and had all his attention. Noticed there were other people present.
Without the protection of the Iron Armor Curse, the wizard's body is as fragile as that of ordinary people.
"Fortunately, thanks to the witch, the state of this Obscurus seems to be very stable." Tang Sen thought: "Being able to cultivate an Obscurus, it is obvious that this Obscurus has not learned the magic spell and does not even know how to release it. With my own strength, as long as I don’t stimulate her too much, she is just an ordinary little girl.”
"Maybe it will be of use. Don't worry, let's see again."
Smaug's dissatisfied roar came from the sea of consciousness. It threatened that its throat was almost stuck by its own dragon flames. Tang Sen obviously would not believe such nonsense and was too lazy to appease it——
He believed that Smaug had developed a strong enough ability to comfort himself.
"Let's go take a look in the tower first."
Tang Sen took out the gold coin that had appeared before and said silently in his heart:
"There is danger in the tower"
"There is danger in the tower"
"."
After reciting silently seven times, he threw the gold coin, and the golden light swirled in the air, and finally landed in Tang Sen's palm.
reverse side.
This means a negative answer, there is no danger in the tower.
Tang Sen did not stop and continued to divine.
“There is no malicious person in the tower.”
Recite silently seven times and throw the gold coin.
front.
Putting away the gold coins, Tang Sen walked toward the tower.
The door is unlocked, and you can see that the first floor of the tower is a living room with a sofa, a coffee table and a kitchen. It looks particularly warm. As you go up the spiral staircase, the atmosphere on the second floor suddenly becomes colder, row after row. A circle of iron fences formed a circle. These were all prison cells. There were about a dozen of them, but they were all empty.
Going further up and reaching the third floor, Tang Sen finally saw the little girl.
She was squatting on the ground, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and the blade was deeply inserted into the chest of a young boy. The blood flowed, soaked the floor, and left dots on the little girl's clothes.
Probably because the position was wrong, the boy was not dead yet, his eyes were protruding and he was making a painful sound of airflow.
The girl then pulled out the knife, glanced at the boy, and stretched out her hand to try to cover his eyes, but her hand was too small and one always slipped out. After trying several times, she gave up this meaningless operation and started again. Hold the knife handle with both hands.
Then, she carefully aimed at the boy's throat.
Go straight down cleanly.
