Hogwarts Summoning Guide

If it were Bai Lin six months ago, he might have been ambushed from behind by a black wizard who casts spells silently, and he might have actually been hit. But with his "personal angel," he practically had a cheat code that gave him a god-like perspective. Sifugar appeared immediately and created a golden shield behind Bai Lin.

Alex and Nicole couldn't see Sifgar's figure. From their perspective, it was as if Bai Lin had eyes in the back of his head. Before they could even shout "Watch out!" when they saw the attacker rush out, the shield behind Bai Lin had already deflected the attacker's spell.

Of course, the most shocked was the short attacker. He was skinny and short, huddled among the corpses, holding his breath like a ninja. Countless wizards or warriors had fallen to his sneak attacks. He was absolutely confident that he could defeat his enemy with one blow, and his attack was determined to succeed. However, he watched helplessly as his spell was deflected by a golden shield, and his opponent was completely unharmed. This completely baffled him. This was clearly not the common "armor protection spell," but an unfamiliar spell several levels higher.

But the attacker couldn't escape after missing his first strike. He flicked his wand in the air and unleashed a second spell. Some black energy condensed into countless fine needles, which shot out like a pure black peacock spreading its tail feathers, covering Bai Lin's entire body within the attack range. These magical needles were his ultimate move. Not only were they extremely penetrating, but they were also all coated with deadly poison. Even if just one needle broke through the defense and grazed the opponent's skin, the opponent would lose the ability to fight within seconds and die from respiratory failure within three minutes.

Bai Lin's reaction was also extremely fast. The attacker's first attack did not completely fail to make him feel anything. The killing intent still made him shudder and almost gave him a chill. He tugged at Xue Feng's fur and immediately activated a random short-range phantom teleportation. No matter what tricks the opponent played, dodging was always the safest option.

Xuefeng's figure appeared more than ten meters away, and the attackers' poison needles rained down on the open ground, making the ground look as if it had been doused with aqua regia, even corroding a large chunk of concrete.

The attacker turned his head and saw Xuefeng. As he retreated, he threw another emerald green magical energy in Xuefeng's direction, which should be a spell like the Heart-Piercing Curse.

Speaking of the Cruciatus Curse, Xuefeng had been hit by the Death Eater Antonin's Cruciatus Curse two years ago. The excruciating pain was still fresh in Xuefeng's memory. But now Xuefeng was no longer the Level 3 creature it was two years ago. Having been through countless battles, its strength and speed had been greatly improved. It suddenly swayed its body, causing the attacker's attention to be momentarily distracted, and then disappeared behind a nearby shipping container like a gust of wind.

The sway of the snow wind is quite ingenious, because the three forbidden spells are not "flying projectile" spells like fireballs or ice spikes, but rather "channel" type spells like lightning.

These kinds of spells connect the caster's wand to the target and then transmit the caster's murderous intent or malice to it. During the spellcasting process, the caster's subjective attention is needed to lock onto the target in order to maintain the "channel". The person's attention will not only be focused on the target's body, but will also make a prediction of the target's movement trajectory. Yukikaze's sudden movement broke the attacker's prediction, similar to the footwork of a boxer in a boxing ring.

As expected, due to Yukikaze's swift movements, the Heart-Rending Curse missed its mark. The attacker did not intend to press his advantage but wanted to retreat as quickly as possible. As a professional assassin, he had no desire to engage in a prolonged fight with his target.

However, Bai Lin's voice came from behind him, "Expelliarmus!" The red magical energy struck his arm, knocking the attacker's wand away. He also rolled forward in pain and fell to the ground.

Bai Lin then got a clear look at the other person's appearance. He was a thin old man who was at least sixty years old, with an Asian appearance, but it was hard to tell whether he was from South Korea or Japan.

The old man clutched his wrist, having been struck by Bai Lin's disarming spell, which would render his arm unusable for at least a week. The numbness and tingling in his arm were now unbearable.

"I never expected... that Hong Kong would have such a powerful wizard as you. We miscalculated..." The old man gritted his teeth and said in broken Chinese. As soon as he spoke, Bai Lin could tell that this guy was a Japanese black wizard, the same kind of person as Fujiwara Ichiura who killed people like flies in the "cursed spell case". Both of them were the kind of people that Bai Lin hated the most.

"Who are you! How dare you attack the West Ring Wharf? What is your purpose!" Bai Lin shouted sternly. He stared intently at the other party, and if he made any unusual moves, Bai Lin would not hesitate to use his Divine Strike Without Shadow to decapitate him. Such villains who attack civilians deserve to die.

"Hehehehe..." The old man suddenly laughed eerily, "Even if you have great magical power, you can't stop the King of Light's grand plan! And instead of wasting your time chatting with me, don't you think about who's dealing with your beautiful companion? Hahaha..."

Bai Linhu's body trembled. He immediately thought of this problem as well. Since someone was lying in ambush here, they should also send someone to deal with Yan Nishuang. He had Catherine and Sifu Jiaer by his side, so he was already in an invincible position. But Yan Nishuang was fighting alone. If someone was also attacking her from behind, she would indeed be in great danger.

When Bai Lin was startled, he gave the old man an opportunity. He pressed his fingers hard on the old-fashioned Casio watch on his wrist, and his figure vanished into thin air. It turned out that the watch on his wrist was a door key, specially used for emergency escape.

Bai Lin didn't care where the old man had run off to. With a wave of his hand, Xue Feng darted out from the side. Bai Lin leaped onto Xue Feng's back and sped off towards Yan Nishuang.

"We didn't rush to help... Will Boss Kelin hold a grudge against us?" Nicole said weakly. The two of them were so frightened by the scene that their ankles felt like they were filled with lead and they couldn't move at all, let alone rush to help when Bai Lin was ambushed.

"Well... I don't think so... the level difference between us is too big..." Alex replied weakly, "It's more realistic for us to evacuate the crowd to prevent further casualties..."

Nicole nodded, and just as she was about to take a step, she grabbed Alex again, saying, "Wait a minute, my leg is numb..."

Alex wasn't in much better shape; the two exchanged a wry smile.

In truth, there was no need for them to evacuate the crowd; all the citizens who could escape had already rushed outside the dock area. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been alerted and were on their way from a distance. However, no one noticed that some of the fleeing citizens had some injuries. Their wounds were a little numb and itchy, but they were still shaken and didn't care about these minor injuries. They only had one thought in their minds: to get home as quickly as possible, close the door, and lie down to catch their breath.

Back at Bai Lin's side, he rode Xue Feng and jumped onto the stacked containers, heading straight towards Yan Ni Shuang. There, white light flashed everywhere, and Yan Ni Shuang was fighting a desperate battle with the enemy.

Rushing forward, they saw that the attackers of Yan Nishuang were not one person, but three masked girls dressed similarly. However, they were holding short staffs shaped like tree roots, unlike the standard Western magic wands. One of them was casting ice magic, another was casting fire magic, and the third was manipulating vines. Each of them was quite powerful and they cooperated seamlessly, fighting Yan Nishuang to a standstill.

However, Bai Lin was relieved to see that Yan Nishuang was still safe and sound. Moreover, he saw that she was still using the Demon-Slaying Sword to fight the enemy without summoning the Mother and Child Swords, which showed that she was still in control. Perhaps she was considering that the enemies were all young girls and did not want to kill them.

But Bai Lin didn't have such concerns or hold back. Without saying a word, he cast an Ice Ring spell on the girl who was using ice magic.

Bai Lin's move was quite deliberate, which brings us to the distinction between the system's elemental magic and the British's subjective division of magic into black and white. British wizards believed that magic that could bring help to people (whether in life or in battle), providing buffs, defense, recovery, and so on, was white magic. In addition to requiring the wizard's magical power, many of these spells were accompanied by people's positive emotions, such as joy, protection, and blessing.

Black magic, on the other hand, uses negative emotions such as hatred and murderous intent to drive magical power, forming offensive or curse-like magic that can cause irreversible damage.

The ivory tower that Bai Lin had the Night Mentor and Old Addison build in his habitat represents another path of magic—the advancement of elemental magic. In fact, many traditional white or black magic spells are similar to elemental magic, but people, in their research into the application of these elements, reached the point of fulfilling their daily needs and then stopped exploring them further.

For example, most wizards learn "Blazing Fire" only to light campfires, while defining the use of fire in combat as black magic. They then use public opinion to suppress it, subjectively cutting off the development bottleneck of elemental magic, so that many advanced elemental magics developed by ancient wizards were lost.

Schools of dark magic like Durmstrang were considered outliers in mainstream European society. Few members of high society graduated from Durmstrang, partly due to painful memories of wartime and partly due to the "uselessness of martial arts" mentality.

Back on the battlefield, Bai Lin's Ice Ring spell was several levels higher than that of the girl who used ice magic. The release of elemental magic requires the four elements that exist widely in the air and in the elemental planes parallel to the real world. Bai Lin's Ice Ring spell instantly drained all the ice elements around the opponent, causing the opponent's ice magic to stop abruptly.

An ice ring formed around her, and the accumulated cold air instantly absorbed all the heat from the girl's body. She never dreamed that the ice magic she was most skilled at would one day freeze her into an ice sculpture.

Without her ice magic support, Yan Nishuang moved forward suddenly, slicing the giant vine that resembled a python into several pieces with a single sword strike. The fire magic girl wanted to throw a large fireball at Yan Nishuang, but when she pointed her staff forward, a light sword less than a meter long flew down from above and cut her staff in two. It was Yan Nishuang's Demon-Slaying Sword.

"Retreat!" shouted the plant magic girl, speaking directly in Japanese. Before the fire magic girl could even touch her Casio watch, Bai Lin yelled, "You can't escape! Shadow Chains!"

When the fire magic girl's right wrist was still ten centimeters away from her fingertips, both of her arms were bound by several chains emanating a black aura, and the vine girl was also affected at the same time.

"Let's see where you run to!" Bai Lin sneered.

But at that moment, the fire magic girl glared fiercely at Bai Lin, her eyes filled with endless hatred, and roared, "For the King of Light!" Her voice was like the scream of a night owl. Then, she actually severed both of her arms at the elbows, breaking off her own arms as if she had broken off the limbs of a doll. Blood gushed from the severed arms, but she was completely unaware and disappeared into thin air.

"No!..." Yan Nishuang tried to stop the vine girl, but it was too late. She also broke her own arm and disappeared into thin air. Before leaving, she even spat out a black dot in the direction of the ice magic girl.

Bai Lin quickly looked at the ice magic girl he had frozen into an ice sculpture, only to see her face filled with terror. Then everyone heard a sound like shattering glass. The ice magic girl had been pierced in the chest by that black dot, and her entire body shattered into pieces like a piece of glass.

Bai Lin never expected things to turn out this way. He looked at Yan Nishuang awkwardly, shrugged, and said, "Even a god couldn't help us in this situation."

Yan Nishuang sighed and looked at the severed limbs on the ground, but the severed arm was rapidly aging and decaying, and soon turned into a mummy.

"It's best not to touch it! Let the forensic department handle it..." Bai Lin advised.

Yan Nishuang walked to Bai Lin's side, nodded to him, and said, "The personnel left behind by the enforcement team haven't shown up yet. It feels a bit bad. The Royal Police will be here soon!"

"Too bad they all got away. Next time I'll carry anti-magic grenades with me, damn it..." Bai Lin cursed as he looked at the civilian corpses and the chaotic dock. "I'm afraid the trail has gone cold again!"

Yan Nishuang said, "Actually, they have already stated their origins. They should be members of the Light Ship organization."

Bai Lin heard a new term and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "The Ship of Light? What's that?"

Yan Nishuang said with a solemn expression, "It is an extremely evil mage organization. They have a presence throughout Asia. They claim to worship Ra, one of the nine gods of ancient Egypt, and call him the King of Light."

Bai Lin was taken aback and said, "I think they're all Japanese, so why do they worship an ancient Egyptian god?"

Yan Nishuang said, "I don't know. Maybe it's just self-aggrandizement. Since the sun god had two sun ships to transport Osiris and Horus to Earth, these people called their organization the Ship of Light."
