Chapter 037

Boom... boom... boom... Ten consecutive explosions...

Ten more holes appeared on Hogwarts Castle. Relying on continuous Apparition, Li Mu kept teleporting inside Hogwarts Castle, using the magical castle to block the pursuit of ten Alchemical Short Spears. After a few attempts, the destructive power of these Alchemical Short Spears was greatly reduced.

It's just like a tracking missile; whether it's flying or tracking, it needs fuel.

Magic Power is the fuel for the Alchemical Short Spears. Without fuel, they are just ten fire pokers.

After another Apparition ended, Li Mu appeared in the sky, mounted his Flying Broomstick, and ascended rapidly.

The Alchemical Short Spears pursued him, and a second Li Mu appeared on the spires of Hogwarts Castle.

By using the Polymorph Spell to transform a chair into himself, and then injecting Spark Energy to fill the substitute with the main body's Magic Power and life aura, it was enough to mislead the Alchemical Short Spears, even if they were manually controlled, let alone automatically guided.

Casting an Illusionary Body Curse, Li Mu returned to the Great Hall.

At this time, the old wizards and a few professors had joined forces and had almost cleared all the Fiendfyre in the Great Hall.

The Super Iron Skin Charm protected the outside but not the inside. Li Mu, using his LV10 Illusionary Body Curse, silently entered the midst of the old wizards. The ground was covered with fragments of broken tables and chairs, which had not been burned by the Fiendfyre due to the protection of the Super Iron Skin Charm.

Using the Polymorph Spell for mass transformation, a large number of table and chair fragments turned into Metal Hummingbirds.

These Metal Hummingbirds flew at extremely low altitudes, targeting the lower bodies of the old wizards and attacking vital points. Except for a few old wizards who had auto-triggering defensive magical items, most of the others were heavily injured and screamed in agony.

This was not all. Some Metal Hummingbirds flew towards the alchemical golems that were assisting Nicolas Flamel with Alchemical Enchantment.

Many alchemical golems were battered and bruised by the impacts, directly affecting Nicolas Flamel's Alchemical Enchantment.

Seeing dozens of renowned wizards being defeated by one person, Nicolas Flamel knew he had to intervene personally, or all these old wizards would die at the hands of the Phoenix City Lord. The Phoenix City Lord's mastery of the Polymorph Spell, Illusionary Body Curse, Apparition, and Fiendfyre Curse was too formidable.

But if he intervened personally, who would strengthen the alchemical enchantment that prohibited Apparition in Hogwarts?

Even if he defeated the Phoenix City Lord, the Phoenix City Lord could still escape using Apparition.

Weighing the pros and cons, Nicolas Flamel had to abandon the idea of dealing with the Phoenix City Lord today.

Through Legilimency, Li Mu sensed Nicolas Flamel's fighting intent.

He immediately understood that his plan to stall for time would not work.

Although the old wizards' Super Iron Skin Charm was troublesome, he could still deal with them if he focused his attacks. He was merely trying to delay for as long as possible, hoping to wait for the effects of the Dragonblood Potion Nicolas Flamel had taken to weaken before making his full move.

He just hadn't expected that Nicolas Flamel would choose to save these old wizards, even if it meant missing this opportunity to capture him.

It seemed he had underestimated the status of these old wizards in the Wizarding World of various countries. If these old wizards didn't have such deep backgrounds, why would Nicolas Flamel miss such a good opportunity to save them? He didn't believe that Nicolas Flamel, who had lived for over six hundred years, was a soft-hearted person.

After dealing with these old wizards today, it seemed he would soon face a siege from the entire Wizarding World.

"Attack..."

As Li Mu spoke, dozens of Killing Curses shot out from his right sleeve.

The shrunken Miracle Building, Azkaban, was stored within his sleeve. From the moment the battle began, dozens of Dark Wizards hiding inside Azkaban had been ready to unleash Killing Curses, just waiting for his command to unleash a combined wave of Killing Curses aimed at Azkaban's gates.

Almost all the old wizards in front of them had their lives instantly stripped away.

Only a few survived, shielded by other old wizards from the Killing Curses. However, they would have been better off being finished by the Killing Curses, because Li Mu immediately pointed his wand at their corpses and unleashed the Corpse Explosion Spell from Egypt.

One of the Dark Wizards he had subdued was from Egypt, having fled to Britain after committing crimes there.

Although not strong, he had mastered the Corpse Explosion Spell, a forbidden Dark Magic in Egypt. This Dark Wizard had discovered the Corpse Explosion Spell while excavating the tomb of a famous wizard, and the first time he cast it, he was immediately hunted and forced to flee.

Under the power of the Corpse Explosion Spell, all the corpses of the old wizards turned into human bombs.

With dozens of explosions, half of Hogwarts collapsed.

Li Mu, who had escaped using Apparition, immediately pointed his wand at Nicolas Flamel, who was also using Apparition not far away.

The dark green beam of the Killing Curse was blocked by the Super Iron Skin Charm generated by a Ring on Nicolas Flamel's hand. Although the Ring shattered because of it, it bought Nicolas Flamel enough time for two Dragonblood Knights to charge to his side, forming an impenetrable wall.

"It's a pity they aren't living Dragonblood Knights."

Nicolas Flamel thought to himself.

If these two Dragonblood Knights were alive, they could have unleashed the Dragon Might Deterrence, the greatest threat Dragonblood Knights posed to wizards. This power could disorient wizards for a period of time, and even a moment's disorientation during Apparition could cause the teleportation to go wrong.

If the teleportation failed, it would be bad. If it succeeded, it was possible that the head would teleport away while the body remained in place.

Nicolas Flamel took out a chessboard. Dozens of chess piece statues on the board detached themselves and turned into alchemical puppets. Different alchemical puppets cast different spells, and dozens of spells locked onto Li Mu, shaking the ground where he was.

Using Apparition, Li Mu appeared and disappeared, launching surprise attacks again and again.

But every spell he cast was blocked by the two Dragonblood Knights, unable to harm Nicolas Flamel and the alchemical puppets protected behind them. Even if he occasionally managed to destroy one or two alchemical puppets, Nicolas Flamel would produce more in an instant.

He cast the Fierce Fire spell for area-of-effect attacks, but the Dragonblood Knights' shields directly absorbed all the flames.

"As expected, a group fight is the way to go."

Li Mu gave up the idea of a one-on-one fight and threw Azkaban behind him.

Dozens of Dark Wizards poured out of it. They were no longer the weak half-bloods from before, but elites carefully selected from all the Dark Wizards in the entire British Magic World. Each of them had mastered Apparition, Iron Skin Charm, and Killing Curse.

Nicolas Flamel, witnessing this scene, almost couldn't help but curse loudly.

Dozens of alchemical puppets had ganged up on the Phoenix City Lord and were helpless. Now, with dozens of elite wizards joining the Phoenix City Lord, he would be the one being ganged up on. Continuing the fight would be meaningless, only resulting in the loss of his hard-accumulated alchemical puppets.

Nicolas Flamel felt the urge to retreat. Under the cover of the Dragonblood Knights, he used Apparition.

As soon as he left, the Dragonblood Knights and alchemical puppets were also summoned away.
