Forbidden Forest Disturbance
Wizet raised his hand and called out to the warm spot on his fingers, "Mr. Firenze, it happened..."
Before he could finish speaking, the warmth of his fingers had already disappeared.
He closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, and even the existence of the Phoenix Feather became weaker and weaker, as if they were being absorbed and digested.
"What's wrong?" Luna noticed the change in Wizet's expression and immediately stepped forward to ask with concern, "Did something happen in the Forbidden Forest?"
"Yes! Something big might happen tonight..." Wizet frowned in thought for a moment, "Luna, could you give this to Professor McGonagall for me..."
He took out a pen and paper and wrote down the current situation and his speculations.
Luna glanced at the contents of the note. "You're planning to enter the Forbidden Forest?"
Wizet. "At least we need to get to the bottom of things... Mr. Firenze may also be in trouble."
Luna knew what was important and what wasn't. She clutched the note tightly in her hand, her expression becoming very serious. "I want to learn Animagus too, then you won't be able to do this anymore! Pinky promise..."
"Mm!" Wizet, extending his little finger and hooking it with Luna's. "I promise I won't do that again!"
Watching Luna and Fang's retreating figures, Wizet let out a breath.
Having determined his destination, he transformed into Phoenix and plunged directly into the flames of the fireplace.
Within the Forbidden Forest, a ball of flame appeared out of nowhere, Wizet quickly detached from the Phoenix Animagus, reverting to human form.
He did not appear directly at the scene of the incident, but instead arrived at another location to avoid any potential ambush.
Compared to the Forbidden Forest Forbidden Forest on ordinary days, it seemed unusually noisy tonight, filled with sharp bird calls and the rustling of leaves.
Various small animals will dart out from the surrounding bushes, including hares, squirrels, Red Fox, and stone martens. These small animals look very panicked, as if they are fleeing some kind of danger.
Click click...
Click click...
A familiar yet jarring sound came from afar, accompanied by the clatter of hooves and roars.
Those strange "clattering" sounds were clearly the sounds made by the Acromantula, while the hoofbeats and roars likely came from the Centaur.
"Night Vision Charm!"
"Invisibility Spell!"
"Water Separation Charm!"
Night Vision Spell enhances perception, Disillusionment Charm conceals one's form, and the modified Bubblehead Charm isolates scents, all of which can, to some extent, prevent the enemy from discovering one's presence.
With the help of the "Guardian Meditation," Wizet followed the sound and saw a Centaur fighting an Acromantula.
The Centaur was indeed Firenze, his silvery-white fur stained red with mottled blood, making him look particularly pitiful.
A wound extending from the shoulder to the abdomen, against the backdrop of pale skin, faintly revealed Black Mist emanating from it.
Compared to the Acromantula that Wizet encountered last time, this Acromantula is obviously much larger;
Perhaps because it had the upper hand, the Acromantula did not rush to attack, but continued to spit spider silk at Firenze.
Despite Firenze's constant retreat and dodging, he remained bound by the sticky spider silk, making his movements increasingly slow and difficult.
"Sectumsempra!"
Just as the Acromantula slightly raised its head and began to spit out spider silk, Wizet immediately raised his wand and drew out a sword aura horizontally.
This was his all-out attack; the sword energy sliced through the Acromantula's body like a hot knife through butter.
Before the Acromantula could even react, it still spat out a mouthful of spider silk, which stuck to Firenze's leg again.
Thump!
After spitting out this mouthful of spider silk, the Acromantula collapsed heavily to the ground, cleaved in two by the sword energy from before. All its legs were severed, leaving it unable to even struggle.
Firenze also felt the sharp sword energy and was stunned on the spot, even forgetting to breathe.
When he heard a "crack" sound from the side and saw several trees snapped in half, he finally came to his senses, knelt down on the ground, and gasped for breath.
"Dust and Grime Begone!" Wizet raised his wand and cast the Ancient Magic: Purifying Cleansing Soul Washing Spell to cleanse the malice from his wounds.
"There's one more..." Firenze breathed out a couple of breaths, "Watch out... for a sneak attack..."
"I felt it!" Wizet and suddenly swept one hand forward.
Ancient Magic: Self-Shaping (Devil's Snare Form)
His palm instantly transformed into several Devil's Snare, lunging towards the darkness in the distance and pulling out an Acromantula.
This Acromantula was much smaller, barely a meter tall, about the same size as the Wizet had dealt with last time.
"Mr. Firenze, this is Invigoration Potion." Wizet took a bottle of Potions out of his pocket and poured it into Firenze's mouth as he spoke.
The Invigoration Potion works very quickly, and the wound is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Sectumsempra!" The moment Wizet deactivated "Ancient Magic: Self-Shaping (Devil's Snare Form)," another sword aura was unleashed.
The smaller Acromantula didn't have time to escape and followed in the footsteps of the larger Acromantula, being cleaved in two by the sharp sword energy.
"Mr. Firenze, what exactly happened? Why were you being chased by the Acromantula? And why did that Phoenix Feather disappear?"
He raised his wand and directed a fireball to approach Firenze, burning away the spider silk wrapped around his legs.
"Eaten by the Acromantula ..." Firenze stood up, panting, and said, "Mars has become bright again..."
"But the Forbidden Forest was calm, so I went by my gut feeling... and speculated about the possibility of something unusual about Mars... and that's how I found this place..."
"For the Forbidden Forest... the Acromantula are absolute anomalies... they don't belong here... therefore they are the most likely to cause anomalies on Mars..."
"This is the territory of the Acromantula? Mars means war..." Wizet frowned slightly. "Could it be... that the Acromantula is planning to attack Hogwarts?"
"That's very likely!" Firenze nodded. "But I can't be sure... This is just the outer edge of their territory; the real territory is much more dangerous."
He touched the bloodstains on the fur, and as if realizing something, his expression worsened. "Wizet... this place is really strange!"
"Normally, the smell of blood on me would definitely attract other Acromantula, but..."
"Only one Acromantula has come!" Wizet narrowed his eyes slightly, scanning the darkness to his left and behind.
Call out!
Seemingly realizing it had been discovered, the lurking Acromantula launched the first attack, spitting out a sticky strand of spider silk.
Wizet snapped her fingers, and a sudden burst of flame burned away the spider silk.
Despite the firelight, the Acromantula was nowhere to be seen in the distance.
A whooshing sound came from mid-air; it turned out that the Acromantula had changed its position and was planning to attack Wizet and Firenze from the air.
"I need to know the truth!" Wizet raised his wand, and countless withered branches and leaves followed the wand's trajectory, rapidly converging towards the Acromantula, transforming into an Steel Cage...
