Lin Ze was about to take a step forward when a slight rustling sound suddenly came from above his head.
His steps suddenly stopped.
Fudge didn't react and bumped into Lin Ze's back.
"How--"
"Shh."
Lin Ze covered Fudge's mouth, and the wand's fluorescence went out instantly.
In the darkness, the sounds above me became increasingly clear.
It was a human step, very light, and the movement was deliberately suppressed.
Someone came in.
Lin Ze's pupils shrank, and he dragged Fudge against the stone wall on the side of the stairs.
The footsteps on the stairs suddenly stopped.
Lin Ze Hold your breath, hold the wand in the palm of your hand, with the tip of the wand pointing slightly upward, and look warily at the entrance above.
Deathly silence.
After a while, footsteps sounded again, walking towards the stairs.
One step, two steps, three steps.
The wooden board made a slight creaking sound.
Lin Ze saw the toes of a pair of boots sticking out from above the stairs, dark Dragon Hide boots.
"Expelliarmus"
Lin Ze didn't wait for the other party to see him, and took the lead in sending "Disarming Charm".
The opponent was obviously alert, and a blue barrier appeared, blocking Lin Ze's Disarming Charm.
The next moment, through the halo of the barrier, the man looked down and saw Lin Ze and Fudge.
The other party was wearing a large black robe, with a hood covering two-thirds of his face.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly under the hood, Lin Ze could feel those eyes staring at him, with a coldness that made his scalp tingle.
Then he saw the man raise his wand.
Lin Ze's pupils suddenly shrank into pinpoints.
He saw the green light emerging from the tip of the staff.
"Fuck!"
Lin Ze only had time to curse out one word, and suddenly grabbed Fudge's back collar with his left hand.
"Apparition"
That familiar squeezing feeling came from all directions.
Killing Curse's green light flew past Lin Ze's ears, and the biting chill made half of his face numb for a moment.
What made his scalp explode even more was that when the spell was shot from the opponent's wand, it actually split into several.
He watched helplessly as one of them headed straight for him, and the moment before Apparition pulled the two of them into nothingness, the green light could barely scratch the soles of his shoes.
"Crackling"
With a crisp sound, the two disappeared under the stairs.
The next moment, Lin Ze and Fudge appeared behind the hooded man on the first floor of the store.
"Avada Kedavra"
Lin Ze threw "Killing Curse" at the opponent without hesitation.
A dazzling green light shot out from the tip of Lin Ze's wand and went straight to the face of the hooded man.
The hooded man dodged sideways, and the green light flew past his hood and hit the stone wall of the corridor behind him.
Then I saw his left hand raised slightly.
Lin Ze I felt that the air around me suddenly became heavy.
The sundries and shelves in the store seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and all of them were suspended in the air.
Those objects paused in the air for half a second, and then, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, they hit Lin Ze and Fudge from all directions.
"Holy shit!"
Lin Ze only had time to put a Shield Charm on himself, and a transparent barrier unfolded in front of him.
Things in the store hit the barrier, making a clanging sound.
Fudge huddled behind him. At this time, he also reacted. He held the wand in his hand and kept knocking away the objects that hit the two of them.
The opponent has this kind of power with just a wave of his hand, and he can also do the legendary fork Charms...
What is this guy's background?
The hooded man didn't care so much. He tilted his head and walked toward them step by step. There seemed to be majestic ancient magic surging behind him.
"Fuck!"
Lin Ze can't care less about random thoughts.
He began to mobilize the magic power in his body.
The next moment, a heart-stopping wave of magic power erupted from his body, and he felt that his body suddenly became extremely light.
The magic power in the body began to flow through the circuits.
The sound in my ears disappeared.
His heartbeat became powerful and clear, like a beaten war drum, and every heartbeat drove the magic power in his body to surge crazily.
In just one breath, Lin Ze entered the state.
The moment his toes touched the ground, his whole body had moved in front of the hooded man.
As the two waved their wands, dozens of Charms exploded "crackling" at a very close distance from each other.
Colorful spells flew everywhere, blowing up the long-abandoned shop beyond recognition.
"Let's go!"
Lin Ze grabbed Fudge, who was still dazed, and pushed him toward the back door of the store.
Fudge staggered a few steps, and just as he was about to reach out to push the back door, a green light came from behind and hit the door frame of the back door accurately. The door frame exploded, splinters of wood flew into the air, and Fudge was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, held his head with his hands, and let out a short scream.
"Let's go!"
Lin Ze"Apparition" came to Fudge who was still stunned.
He grabbed him and pushed him towards the door of the store.
Fudge staggered a few steps, and just as he was about to reach out to push the door open, a green light came from behind and hit the door frame of the back door accurately.
The door frame exploded, splinters of wood flew into the air, and Fudge was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, waving the wand in his hand randomly, releasing a bright "Shield Charm".
Lin Ze took the opportunity to throw away his hand and said "Cruciatus Curse".
The figure of the hooded man flickered, and he disappeared from the spot and appeared on the other side three meters away.
Lin Ze didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe, and threw out spells one after another.
The hooded man used counter-spells or body flashes to resolve them one by one.
But he soon discovered something was wrong.
Lin Ze's spellcasting is getting faster and faster.
"Interesting, your magic power is getting stronger and stronger..."
The hooded man whispered to himself, then raised his hand to fight back.
Suddenly, the narrow shop was illuminated by colorful spell lights like daylight.
The two people's spells kept colliding in the air, and each collision exploded with dazzling sparks. The aftermath of the magic shook the walls, and the dust on the ceiling fell rustling down.
Lin Ze became more and more excited as he fought, and he could feel the magic power in his body growing crazily.
It was as if someone had ignited a volcano inside him, and hot lava was rushing along his veins.
The man in the hood opposite had the same magical power that seemed to be endless.
"Reducto"
The spell was deflected by the hooded man with his staff, and fell into the shelf, blowing it to pieces.
The hooded man tapped his wand, and the flames shot up, forming a wall of fire and heading towards Lin Ze.
Lin Ze's wand sprayed out a jet of water and poured it on the fire wall, stirring up a large amount of steam. The hot water vapor quickly spread and filled the entire space, completely blocking the view.
A ray of Petrificus Totalus penetrated from the steam and rushed straight to the door facing Lin Ze.
Lin Ze suddenly turned sideways, and the spell flew past his cheek and hit the wall behind him.
Then Lin Ze threw several more spells, and the hooded man dodged again.
Then he stretched out his hand to grab it, and an invisible force lifted Lin Ze up.
Lin Ze's feet were off the ground, his neck seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and breathing instantly became difficult.
He struggled to wave the wand, but the force tightly bound his wrist, preventing him from moving at all.
The hooded man approached slowly, his eyes under the hood cutting into Lin Ze's face like a knife.
"Tell me, what did you see down there just now? How did you know this place?"
"Cruciatus Curse"
Fudge unexpectedly got up from the ground, raised his hand and pointed "Cruciatus Curse" at the man in the hood.
The hooded man was forced to let go of Lin Ze, and rolled up a falling wall to block Fudge's spell.
