Encountering a Centaur Attack

Following Fang's footsteps, past a moss-covered tree stump, Lester and Malfoy arrived at a creek.

A trickle of water flowed down from the upper reaches of the stream, but this time, there was blood in the water.

"The injured Unicorn must be up there," Lester said, casting a Lumos before quickly swimming upstream, with Fang and Malfoy following closely behind.

At this moment, under the moonlight, a sacred Unicorn lay on the hard ground, uttering mournful cries.

Blue blood gushed from his chest, and his weak cries echoed within a ten-meter radius.

"It must have been Voldemort who attacked it!" Lester scanned his surroundings, his Fiendfyre ready to strike the moment Voldemort appeared.

It seems that Voldemort's possession ability has limitations; he needs to drink Unicorn Blood to replenish his energy.

Lester, wand in hand, cautiously approached the wounded Unicorn, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.

Malfoy also cast his signature spell: a Blackie that blended into the darkness slithered around them.

Fang was very timid; he would tremble at the sight of blood. If Lester hadn't been there, he probably would have run away long ago.

The Unicorn was badly injured; a large hole had appeared in its abdomen, from which blood was constantly flowing.

Moreover, it has two deep, bloody holes in its neck, which easily evokes the image of a vampire, a dark creature.

The Unicorn's eyes were filled with pain and sorrow; clearly, it knew it was likely going to die.

Lester looked at the dying Unicorn, a greedy glint in his eyes. "Fang," he said, "Go call Hagrid. Malfoy and I will stay here and keep watch."

Fang was very obedient and immediately followed Hagrid's scent to find Hagrid.

After Fang left, Malfoy's expression was strange. Clearly, he understood Lester's intention. "Lester, you sent Fang away, you're trying to..."

"Malfoy, this Unicorn is clearly beyond saving," Lester said calmly. "If Hagrid finds it, he will certainly give it a proper burial."

"What about its precious magical materials? This is a Unicorn; its value alone is worth 10,000 Galleon."

Malfoy was clearly shocked by the number. "Ten thousand Galleon, my God!"

Unicorn Unicorn is clearly a mythical creature in the Wizarding World, much like the Qilin in the Wizarding World.

Grindelwald went to great lengths to gain the approval of the Qilin, and now, a Unicorn equivalent to the Qilin is right in front of him. It's hard for Lester not to be tempted.

"But what if Hagrid comes and the Unicorn disappears? Fang is very smart." Malfoy was still very worried; he didn't want to ruin his relationship with Hagrid.

Lester assured him, "It's alright. There's a bunch of uninhibited giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest. We can easily frame them!"

Since Lester has said so, what else can Malfoy do but agree?

Seeing that Malfoy agreed, and after Fang had run far away, a murderous glint flashed in Lester's eyes as he pointed his wand at the Unicorn's head.

The Unicorn seemed to realize its fate and let out a mournful cry.

Lester ignored it, pressing his wand firmly against the Unicorn's head, chanting the Killing Curse: "Avada Kedavra..."

A green light was about to shoot out from the wand, and despair filled the Unicorn's eyes.

Just then, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out.

Lester felt a chill run down his spine; someone had attacked him!

Anger flashed in Lester's eyes, and a purple Fiendfyre Barrier instantly appeared behind him.

The sharp sword struck the Fiendfyre Barrier, and upon contact, the arrowhead turned into molten iron, which then vanished into thin air.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so much so that Malfoy had no idea what was going on.

All he knew was that his elder brother had been ambushed, and then a ball of Fiendfyre suddenly appeared behind him, blocking the attack.

Ignoring the bewildered Malfoy, Lester's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He already knew who had ambushed him—it must have been those Centaur living in the Forbidden Forest!

These Centaur must have seen him about to kill the Unicorn, which is why they intervened to stop him.

Within the Forbidden Forest, there are not only various Magical Creatures, but also a group of intelligent Centaur. However, unlike other intelligent Magical Creatures, the Centaur are extremely hostile to wizards and even unwilling to have any relations with wizarding society.

The arrogant Centaur always believed that they were the darlings of nature, while the wizards were nothing more than ignorant monkeys.

But in reality, unlike wizards who wield wands and magic, Centaur are quite primitive; their weapons are even ancient weapons like bows and arrows.

In the jungle, dozens of Centaur glared angrily at Lester, because this little Lester had just tried to kill the sacred Unicorn.

A Centaur named Bane, who was usually most hostile to humans, was naturally furious to see Lester daring to kill Unicorn and instinctively shot an arrow at Lester.

Little did he know that his impulsiveness would not only bring annihilation to the Centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest, but also cause suffering to all Centaur in the British Wizarding World.

"Bane, are you insane?" Centaur Feseren, Centaur tribe, one of the few Centaur in the tribe who could see the situation in the Wizarding World clearly.

Bane retorted indignantly, "He's just a wizard. We Centaur are far more noble than wizards, and besides, he was about to harm Unicorn. I was just trying to stop him."

Feseren was absolutely furious. Were wizards someone to be trifled with?

The problem is that Bane's statements actually received the support of most Centaur, who clearly share Centaur's Bane towards wizards.

Feseren was ready to rush out and save Lester, until he saw the Fiendfyre suddenly appear behind Lester, blocking the deadly arrow. Only then did Feseren breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bane, stop joking around. There must be some misunderstanding. They are wizards from Hogwarts. We should have a proper talk with them."

Bane was very reluctant, but he followed them out anyway. The other Centaur also emerged from the jungle and surrounded Lester and Malfoy.

More than twenty Centaur, each armed with a bow and arrow, surrounded Lester and Malfoy.

Bane shouted first, "Wizards, you actually tried to harm the sacred Unicorn! You deserve to die!"

The other Centaur echoed this sentiment, glaring at Lester and Malfoy with hostility.

"Heh," Lester said expressionlessly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Malfoy, according to the Ministry of Magic's laws, what should be the punishment if a non-wizard magical race attacks a wizard?"

Malfoy was taken aback, and instinctively replied, "Wizards have unlimited retaliatory rights, can use any spell to protect themselves, and have the right to execute any Magical Creatures that attacks them."
