Let's go back to Sarf's story.

At this point, Sarf was no longer the delicate young girl she used to be.

Beneath Sarf's exquisitely beautiful figure, her lower body had already transformed into a gigantic serpent, thicker than a water bucket and nearly 20 feet long. The serpent's body was covered in Winky, dark green scales, radiating a terrifying aura.

This is her self-created "Serpent Movement Technique," which she improved upon by drawing inspiration from Skylar's "Amphimagus." She was born Animagus who could transform into the giant snake Nagini. Utilizing this ability, she limited the Animagus's Transfiguration to only the lower half of her body, keeping her upper body in human form while her lower body transformed into a snake.

This move transformed her from walking like a human to gliding like a snake, making her not only faster but also almost completely silent during movement.

Combined with her previous Ice Mist Summoning Technique, she could hide in the mist and remain undetected by her opponent, while she could use her snake-like innate ability to detect heat to locate her opponent and launch a surprise attack. It was an excellent tactical combination.

Daphne's attack, which came like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms, was something she hadn't anticipated.

This area-of-effect attack basically covered the entire area shrouded in ice mist, and judging from the sharp sound of it cutting through the air, its destructive power should be considerable.

Sarf's eyes gleamed with an eerie crimson light. Although she had misjudged the situation, she showed no sign of panic; instead, a slight smile played on her lips.

She suddenly lowered her upper body, and the snake's body quickly coiled around her, until her upper body was soon engulfed by the enormous snake.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, a series of dense sounds of impact and scraping rang out.

Black spikes pierced the snake's skin, revealing a thick section behind each spike. Clearly, while the spikes had successfully pierced the surface scales, they could not go any further.

Although Sarf's snake scales were not as defensive as those of Basilisk, they were still thicker and tougher than those of a human wizard—the injuries she had sustained were essentially the same as those suffered by a human when they fell and scraped their skin.

But it hurts!

Sarf hissed, her face grim. She yanked her dark purple cloak over her shoulder with her left hand, tossing it forward, then pointed her wand sharply forward with her right—

The nine snakes on the cloak suddenly came to life, baring their fangs and claws as they rushed out of the cloak and charged towards Daphne.

Daphne, using her hearing to pinpoint the source of the snake's cry, turned her body towards it. With a powerful upward swing of her wand, thick, thorny vines sprouted from the ground before her at an astonishing speed, instantly forming a wall of thorns as tall as a person.

Immediately afterwards, she let out a sharp cry, and nine black vine chains shot out from the thorny wall, their sharp ends gleaming with black light, rushing towards the nine large snakes.

At the same time, Sarf's wand drew a rune in the air— Skylar recognized it as representing "nine".

The rear halves of the nine great serpents intertwined and merged together, their bodies rapidly expanding, transforming into the legendary creature— the Hydra.

Sarf's exclusive Parseltongue Magic Secret Technique - Hydra Manifestation!

Daphne's exclusive Druid magic technique - Black Vine Heavenly Lock!

Each of the Hydra's heads possesses magical properties, and each attack produces an explosion, releasing a corrosive yellow toxic mist. The explosive power is considerable, equivalent to five to eight grams of dynamite, which is beyond the tolerance of ordinary people.

Fortunately, Daphne's Black Vine Chains were also extraordinary. Their sheaths were double-edged spears, allowing for both thrusting and slashing attacks. Moreover, the vines themselves were made of a material that was both hard and flexible, allowing them to bend at will. In the hands of a combat wizard like Daphne, who valued speed, they were unpredictable and could generate twice the killing power, enough to withstand the might of the Hydra.

The hydra and the black vines clashed fiercely. As Daphne and Sarf increased their magical output, the battle grew faster and faster. The young wizards were dazzled by the countless shadows of snakes and vines filling the sky.

The loud crashes and explosions made their eardrums ache.

Although Sarf's magic power was slightly higher than Daphne's, Daphne was undoubtedly superior in terms of magic casting skills. In Skylar's opinion, this battle should be evenly matched, since the two sides had no deep-seated hatred for each other, nor was it a life-or-death struggle.

Sure enough, within just five minutes, the floor of the Chamber of Secrets was riddled with holes and dents.

Skylar unleashed his full magical power, his platinum-gold hair billowing up without wind. He slammed his wand into the ground and roared, "Finite Incantatem!"

The wand, planted in the ground, emitted concentric circles of milky-white light.

The black vines and the hydra seemed to have encountered their natural enemy, and quickly retreated.

Daphne and Sarf then noticed Skylar's arrival and withdrew their magic.

"Skylar! What brings you here? Shouldn't you rest a little longer?" Daphne asked with a warm expression.

With Daphne, the principal wife, present, Sarf appeared much more reserved and shy, but the concerned expression on her face revealed her care.

What Skylar experienced last night was too bizarre, so Skylar did not reveal the full story to the Sleeping Dragon Society. However, Daphne and Sarf, who were close to Skylar, were undoubtedly among the few who knew the truth.

They knew how dangerous Skylar's experience had been the day before. Although Skylar had prepared many backup plans, the enemy was far stronger than Skylar had expected. He was able to return unscathed thanks to the Phoenix Tail Feather that Dumbledore had given Skylar before the start of the tournament.

Of course, that doesn't mean Skylar was doomed without that Phoenix Tail Feather.

At that time, thanks to Skylar's prior arrangements, Sarf had already been lying in wait near the scene, carrying a magical cannon borrowed from Durmstrang's Ghost Ship. If things became unbearable, Sarf would fire the cannon. While it might not be able to kill Morgan, Voldemort, or other mages, it would certainly create chaos and allow Skylar to escape.

Now, it would be best to save a Killer card, but even better, Skylar could capture and imprison that group of Death Eaters without shedding a drop of blood.

Voldemort's Death Eaters were roughly divided into two groups. One group consisted of fanatical loyalists, most of whom continued to support Voldemort after the First Wizarding War and were therefore imprisoned in Azkaban.

The second group consisted of opportunists, most of whom had laundered their reputations through money and political means after the First Wizarding War —a feat that undoubtedly made them the most powerful faction among the Pure-blood families.

Skylar valued was the power behind these people, including money, resources, connections, intelligence, and so on.

The downside was that Skylar also incurred Dumbledore's favor as a result.

Okay, in that case, Skylar will have to slightly change his plans.

Originally, Skylar planned to cooperate with Umbridge, sent by the Ministry of Magic, to cause trouble at Hogwarts in the next school year, but he has now abandoned that plan. Dumbledore already has enough headaches to deal with; he doesn't need to add fuel to the fire.
