In Battle

.

("Isn't this just deceiving yourself?" Professor McGonagall, somewhat puzzled.)

("Because that so-called invincible mind is the source of his superhuman defense," Dumbledore smiled confidently.)

(If we're talking about science, Starry World science and Force technology, he might lack a bit of confidence.)

(But the Patronus Charm is his most proficient spell, and he is also the only wizard with the form of Magical Creatures — the Phoenix Patronus.)

("In most people's eyes, the Patronus is an embodiment of the self constructed from their most cherished memories. This is not entirely wrong.")

("But summoning the Patronus every time involves recalling that memory, and over time, even the most beautiful memories will become riddled with holes, and the Patronus will become vulnerable. This summoning method is too cumbersome and cannot guarantee success every time.")

("Some skilled wizards use the method of spreading those beautiful memories and emotions from the past to Dotty detail of life, starting with the subtle emotional nuances.")

("This method is indeed effective.")

("And the more sophisticated approach, which is what I do, is to place an anchor in one's heart, as Patronus for support.")

("My Patronus dove also transformed into a phoenix through this process.")

("But this is very difficult, much more difficult than the method I taught you to split the Patronus. It's equivalent to recreating the Patronus, and the ego may also collapse. Even if I tried again, I wouldn't be confident of succeeding.")

(At this point, Dumbledore took a deep breath, a strong sense of self-destruction raging within him. The spiritual fire ignited by Ariana's death and Gellert's relentless departure was almost burning him to ashes.)

(He didn't know how he survived that night; the white Rebirth from Fire as a phoenix.)

("That's why I've never told you about this method.")

("And the Invincible Andros, and those Inheritors his name, must have also adopted this method, and their anchor was confidence, which is what he called the invincible mind.")

(Professor McGonagall listened to the rare knowledge, but she wasn't paying much attention.)

(Because there were other scenes that deserved her attention.)

Phew! Thank goodness it wasn't 'Draco'.

"Robert McGonagall." Harry's expression turned serious.

However, it wasn't because the opponent was particularly strong.

It wasn't because he was also a student at Hogwarts University.

It was because he was a descendant of Professor McGonagall's brother.

Professor McGonagall's two younger brothers, Malcolm McGonagall and Robert McGonagall Jr., also inherited their witch mother's talents and are both wizards.

Their descendants are the same.

This Robert McGonagall is a descendant of Robert McGonagall Jr., who inherited the name of his great-grandfather (referring to Robert McGonagall, Professor McGonagall's father, who was a Muggle) and grandfather.

The thought of beating up her brother's offspring in front of her own headmistress made Harry feel uneasy.

After all, Professor McGonagall had always favored him; she even paid for the broom she gave him when he was a freshman.

("McGonagall?" Hermione, somewhat surprised. "Does Professor McGonagall have children? Has she been married?")

(In Hermione, and in the eyes of most students, Professor McGonagall, like the other three house heads and the headmaster of Hogwarts, was a lifelong bachelor.)

(After all, everyone's single, so why should you be different?)

(Among the faculty and staff at Hogwarts, the majority are unmarried.)

(For example, Professor Trelawney for Divination, Hagrid for Care of Magical Creatures Class, Professor Babbling for Ancient Runes, and Professor Sinistra for Astronomy.)

(To some extent, Hogwarts faculty and staff are practically synonymous with being single, so Hermione was understandably taken aback.)

(This is as strange as a male student appearing in an all-girls school.)

(Ron shook his head and then nodded. "She has no children, but she was married and never divorced. Her husband died from the Venomous Tentacula.")

"Harry Potter." Robert McGonagall also recognized Harry's light armor. "Such pure Dark Force."

Its streamlined design, along with the unusual aura of Dark Force it exudes, immediately reveals the identity of the knight piloting it.

But the most peculiar thing is that it also has another form, a white form that exudes a rare aura of the Wisdom Force called love.

That form possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, remaining unharmed even in the Deep.

Although he was recalling information about Harry Potter and his light armor in his mind, his hands did not stop moving.

The azure blue surface of the armor tilted like the blades of an air conditioner's exhaust vent, and the [Molecular Interference Device] inside was activated.

The random motion between surrounding molecules begins to be affected, and the thermal motion of molecules slows down, resulting in everything around being frozen.

The Dadi was tinged with silver, snowflakes filled the air, and the hundred-meter waterfall, now cut off, transformed into a transparent Crystal sculpture.

The extreme cold even seeped into Harry's heart.

Just as he knew Robert McGonagall's identity, he was also very familiar with the abilities that his mechs had demonstrated in the first game.

Although he didn't quite understand the principles of Molecular Interference Device.

But he knew that this was not a supernatural phenomenon created by the Force, but a device that used the Force to manipulate the laws of physics in an extremely force-efficient way, where one unit of force could have the effect of ten units of force.

First, let extreme cold fill the venue, and then let extreme heat sweep it in.

In this situation, even the most solid light armor would become as fragile as ceramic due to the sudden change in temperature.

'But my defense isn't based on the light armor,' Harry said, releasing the light armor's protection against the cold.

His body, after being modified by the Dark Magic Fairy [Path], began to turn pale. His body temperature dropped, and his heartbeat began to slow down. Soon after, a layer of white frost even appeared on the surface of his skin.

[Ultimate Liberation]—All is exhausted!

A white shield-shaped Magic Immortal Artifact began to envelop Harry's body, and a set of pure white armor with gold lily patterns appeared, covering his entire body.

Low temperature, frostbite. All negative states are absorbed and transformed into pure Dark Force.

Inside the black armor, nodes were lit up one by one. The most intricate Dark Mandala magic circle was activated.

"Dark Mandala!" Robert McGonagall exclaimed in surprise. This kind of magic circle, which is closest to the Lesser Universe, can actually be set up independently by itself.

It's important to know that the low temperature he created was close to -273.16 degrees Celsius, a temperature that only wizards could approach through the Force, where the thermal motion of all atoms and molecules would cease.

Even while resisting such low temperatures, it still has the energy to unleash Dark Mandala that distorts the rules of reality.

Inside the virtual battlefield.

The sun was obscured, and endless darkness engulfed everything.

Also disappearing was the low temperature that seemed to freeze everything.

In this endless darkness, the rules of reality lose their effectiveness, as do the devices that rely on these rules for leverage.

Only the purest Force application techniques, which rely on oneself as the fulcrum, can operate in this darkness.

'But I'm not good at applying Dark Force techniques... Oh well, ice and darkness are both negative energies in the universe.' Robert McGonagall grumbled inwardly as he shut down the [Molecular Interference Device] and meditated on the image of Pluto —that icy hellscape of near absolute zero, below -220 degrees Celsius.

All the Force was converted into Ice Force, which condensed in the beam cannon on his chest.

All of Robert McGonagall's efforts and the flow of the Force were observed by Harry, who was unfurling the Dark Mandala. Out of respect for Professor McGonagall, Harry drew his lightsaber for the first time, the originally azure blade now stained black and red by the Dark Force.

The black armored figure sped through the darkness, and as he approached, the dark domain behind him vanished, merging into the sword.

But from Robert McGonagall's perspective, everything around him remained pitch black.

His will and Spiritual Wisdom were all focused on that beam cannon.

He is blind to everything around him, but if the enemy wants to attack him, they will inevitably reveal a weakness.

This sphere, which condenses all the icy primal force, is not only his decisive blow, but can also serve as the core for creating a defensive force field.

There was no sound of progress; the sound of the blade cutting through the darkness was still absorbed by the remaining darkness, and the black and red light blade grew increasingly dark and larger.

Silencio, the arm swung, and the blade sliced across the neck of the azure light armor. The defensive force field automatically transformed by the energy core on which Robert McGonagall had placed his hopes was instantly broken. The massive explosion that was supposed to be a mutual destruction, turning ice into heat, was also swallowed up by the unremarkable blade before it could be fully transformed, contributing to the decapitation of Robert McGonagall.

The head was falling, and after the final stroke of the blade, light finally shone before it, before it crashed heavily to the ground.

"This is one of my secret moves that I haven't revealed yet. For your sake, you'll get to experience it." Harry left these words behind, his figure fading away as he reappeared on the challenge platform.

Looking up, besides the 1030 points above him, there were also challenge platforms above him.

"After a six-game winning streak, are there still so many players above me?"

"Was I too slow in my fight?" Harry asked himself.

In the first points race, he was among the slowest to pass through the race.

So when I logged in today, there were only six challenge platforms above my head.

And now, it continues uninterrupted.

("Cedric too. There's nothing you can do about it; it's dictated by his fighting style," Ron said instinctively, even though he knew Harry couldn't hear him.)

(This is not an excuse for his favoritism towards Harry.)

(Because, aside from Robert McGonagall, normally, regardless of the opponent's strength, Harry would habitually maneuver for a while, using his body to unleash the [Magic Immortal Artifact] and transform into white light armor to withstand attacks as ammunition reserves, or to directly deflect them.)

(There's nothing we can do about it.)

(Harry's Magic Immortal Artifact are all about defense followed by counterattack, and the abilities of the Magic Immortal Artifact reflect the personality of the fairies themselves.)

(This kind of fussy approach naturally leads to matches lasting too long.)

(In Ron's view, a normal player should be like Krum, who would simply raise his hand to attack.)

(Those who can withstand this blow should take it seriously.)

(If you can't, save time and move on to the next match.)

(Cedric's board-flooding style and Phoebe's cautious style are both abnormal behaviors.)

Phoebe was unaware of Ron's inner thoughts.

"Divine Buster!"

"Was it really necessary to use such a powerful technique to finish me off?!" Amidst her opponent's complaints, Phoebe ended another battle.

On the challenge stage, Phoebe seemed to be saying to her opponent, who could no longer hear her, "Such a serious competition cannot tolerate any slack off."

(Dumbledore sighed and remained silent.)

(There's no room for letting the team go easy on you in a competition.)

(But there's no need to keep your distance from every opponent and then spend a lot of time charging up your ultimate move.)

(After her match against the Invincible Andros, Phoebe inexplicably became cautious.)

(Only Basil knew the reason.)

(The magic cannon called "Divine Buster" is not a simple energy bombardment.)

(For a wizard of Phoebe's caliber, the gathered Force is also an extension of their eyes and senses.)

(Just like Robert McGonagall when he fought Harry, everything he had was concentrated in that energy cannon, and his senses were pushed to the limit.)

(Meanwhile, Phoebe noticed the unprecedented resistance her energy cannon encountered as it destroyed the Invincible Andros and his mecha form.)

(The fact that she could maintain her physical defenses for a period of time despite her multiple buffs and all-out light cannon attacks stimulated her.)

(Even the Invincible Andros, who barely made it into the excellent edit, has such a performance.)

(So, she began to be cautious.)

(Approach each opponent with caution.)

(Since the battle is taking place in Virtual Universe, everything will be restored to full strength after the battle, so why not just use your ultimate move?)

Unlike Phoebe.

Krum and Cedric are now in a state of indifferent apathy.

Since that knight who used [Night Raven], Krum has not encountered a worthy opponent for a long time.

Each one accelerates, a single sword strike decapitates.

No one could keep up with his speed.

However, there are adversaries who are prepared to deal with high-speed external weapons.

However, in order to conserve Force, most of them did not fully connect with the light armor, which resulted in a time requirement for activation.

It failed before it could even start.

As for those devices that managed to be activated in time, their effectiveness was negligible given his speed.

The accelerated nerve reflexes saw his movement, but the body couldn't react in time.

The stagnant force field created using various principles and various primal forces and primal force application technologies has a negligible effect on him.

"I'm afraid only [Time Mire] and [Re-acceleration] can stop my speed."

"To keep up with my speed, you'll need a [Time-Accelerated Device] at the very least."

Krum had learned about the Light Armor or the Knights who might become his opponents.

But until now, I haven't met a single one.

Cedric found himself in the same predicament.

He faced something even more outrageous.

Because he's not needed in battle.

All he needs to do is hide.

Then Riddle's army of Fantastic Beasts overwhelmed his opponents.

"It should be fine by tomorrow or the day after."

"Once we get to the higher-level matches, every remaining player should be very strong."

Despite intending to give up, Cedric, bored out of his mind, cheered himself up.
