Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 176 Money Ability

As Bruno was officially defeated by Cedric, the giant badger in the air suddenly moved, leaped onto the giant lion and began to bite it. No matter how the giant lion struggled, it could not get rid of it.

Large patches of light mist spurted out from the giant lion, and then penetrated into the body of the giant badger. After a while, the giant lion let out a howl and disappeared. The giant badger, which had grown a whole circle larger, was roaring silently at everyone in the circular arena.

All the Gryffindor students who saw this scene fell silent. What happened before their eyes was too much of a blow to them. Many younger freshmen were already crying their eyes out.

On the podium where Mike was, Cedric and Bruno's original thrones had disappeared, replaced by a more luxurious and huge throne.

Led by the staff, Cedric slowly came to the throne and sat down. When he passed by Mike, he said to him in an inaudible voice:
"come on."

Mike smiled and nodded, then went to the playing field at the bottom of the arena with Willy.

The appearance of Mike and Willy immediately ignited the Slytherin and Ravenclaw stands. Many Ravenclaws took out their homemade magic flags. The flags used Ravenclaw's blue as the background, and an eagle was flying high on it.

Compared with Ravenclaw's magic flag, Slytherin's way of cheering is much more extravagant.

A senior student directly released a magic salute. The green light released by the magic salute formed a giant emerald green snake, which kept cruising in the air.

The giant snake formed by the magic salute echoed with the giant snake that was originally hovering above the Slytherin stand, and together they spit out snake tongues at the giant eagle above the Ravenclaw stand.

Suddenly, Slytherin's momentum overwhelmed Ravenclaw.

Seeing this scene, Willy, who had just performed the duel ceremony with Mike and was about to start the game, helplessly spread his hands towards Mike.

This action seemed so irritating to Mike, but he didn't do anything. It would be easy to hit him in the face, which he could do in the game later.

However, Willy took out a dozen potion reagents from his Traceless Stretching Charm bag before Lockhart announced the official start of the game, opened them one by one and drank them.

Mike looked at a bottle of potion among the dozen potions that he was very familiar with, his eyes almost popping out, because that bottle of potion was the Felixir that Mike had obtained not long ago.

Although Mike didn't recognize any of the other bottles of potions, those that could be put together with the Felicis Potion were definitely not cheap.

"Fuck, are you that rich?"

Mike was already impressed by Willy's ability to make money, and was complaining wildly in his heart.

Willy on the other side drank all the potions and burped. Then he shook his robes, and an ugly bat flew out of his robes and landed steadily on his shoulder.

Reaching out and stroking the bat's fluffy little head, Willy finally took out his magic wand, struck a fighting stance towards Mike, and indicated that he was ready to start the game at any time.

"Nah, he's taking drugs, but he can also bring a magical pet?"

"Yeah! So rich, no, so mean!"

Willy's behavior was clearly seen by everyone on the scene through the magic projection, and the whole stadium was filled with curses. Everyone was envious and jealous of Willy's behavior. The Slytherins didn't care about the comments of others on the field. On the contrary, they regarded Willy's behavior as a kind of honor, because Slytherin was a school that advocated unscrupulous means.

At this moment in the suspended attic, Lockhart and others were in chaos.

In fact, in professional competitions such as International Quidditch, potions such as Felix Felicis are strictly prohibited, but there are no relevant rules at all in this dueling competition.

Lockhart had never imagined that someone would use such an expensive potion as Felix Felicis in such a small competition held within the school.

But in fact, Lockhart was wrong. Judging from the current scale of the dueling competition, it is already one of the few large-scale competitions in the British wizarding world. It is normal for someone to use the Felicity Potion to cheat.

After a long debate, Lockhart finally announced that there was nothing wrong with Willy's behavior and the game continued. The reason was that the original rules did not restrict whether the contestants could drink potions or bring magical pets.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the target of everyone's abuse immediately changed from Slytherin to Lockhart. Some even used Transfiguration to conjure up rotten vegetable leaves and wanted to throw them at Lockhart, but unfortunately the distance was too far.

Although I feel very unbalanced, the game still has to go on.

Mike moved the moment Lockhart announced the start of the game.

The Wind Speed ​​Spell, the Disillusionment Spell and the Earth Spike Spell, the standard Mike three-attack combo was used accurately by Mike.

However, something happened that shocked Mike. Willy seemed to have not heard Lockhart's instructions at all. He just stood there smiling and not moving.

The ground spikes summoned by Mike using the Ground Spike Spell actually emerged from the ground close to his feet and missed!
Mike, who was in invisible state, just stood there in a daze. This was the first time he missed a fixed target since he learned the ground spike technique.

At this moment, Willy, who had his back to Mike, suddenly moved.

He turned around quickly, and a spell with a flashing red light hit Mike who was still standing there in a daze.

Mike cried out inwardly, and stepped on the ground repeatedly, using the high speed brought by the wind speed spell to narrowly avoid the sudden attack.

What followed was a series of spell attacks. Willy kept releasing various colorful spells like a magic machine gun, and the shooting accuracy of the spells was quite high. Mike's Disillusionment Spell was useless in front of him.

Facing the barrage of curse attacks, Mike could only rely on the power of the wind speed spell to evade them by moving in a zigzag pattern. And the few disarming spells he fired back also inexplicably missed, just like the ground spike spell at the beginning.

"Is the Mammoth Bliss Potion so strong? How can I play if all the spells fail? And how did he know my location? I was using a stronger version of the Disillusionment Charm! Those with lower mental strength than me can't see me even if they use magic perception!"

Mike complained wildly while dodging, and now he had to admit that he had indeed underestimated his enemy.

Just as mentioned before, the contestants who can reach this stage are all the best in various colleges, so how weak can their strength be?

However, now is not the time to reflect on himself. Mike knows that he must come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in trouble today.
