Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Although Zhang Quanshu looked to be in his early fifties, he was actually over eighty. Having held a high position for the past twenty years, he had rarely taken action. However, at his age and in his position, it was inevitable that he would fear death, so the more self-defense and life-saving items he had, the better. This time, personally leading the expedition to suppress the pirates at sea, he wished he could hang every kind of treasure collected by the executive department on his body. Sure enough, a golden bell-shaped shield unfolded around him in time, and an invisible sharp blade slammed into the golden bell, producing a deafening chime.

This "Eastern Emperor Bell" is a modern replica of an ancient artifact. Although it is a replica, it is still quite precious. Its protective ability to open a shield in time without the holder having to actively activate it is already incredibly powerful.

Zhang Quanshu's five guards were terrified. Although they could not see the enemy, the enemy's almost frantic and repeated attacks on the Donghuang Bell not only continued to ring but also were accompanied by flashes of golden light. Only the blind and deaf could not see that Zhang Quanshu was being assassinated. However, they could not find the enemy at all and could only raise their magic wands and randomly shoot out various spells, hoping to stumble upon something by sheer luck.

Zhang Quanshu, who was inside the Eastern Emperor Bell, was also extremely nervous. He knew that the magic weapon's energy was limited and it was impossible to maintain absolute defense indefinitely. However, he had no other choice. He was already thousands of kilometers away from the mainland, and it was impossible for him to use Apparition to return. He could only keep casting various protective spells on himself with his magic wand, hoping to hold out until his subordinates defeated the assassin.

The invisible monster attacked more than ten times in succession, but finding it unable to break through the defense of the Eastern Emperor Bell, it immediately changed its target. One of the guards was randomly casting stun spells into the air, unaware that the invisible monster had already lurked behind him. A gust of wind blew by, and the armor protection spells on the guard's body had little effect. A line of blood appeared on his neck, and before he could even scream, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, his head rolling to the side. Blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, splattering all over another guard.

"Form a formation! Form a formation!" Zhang Quanshu roared. The enemy came and went without a trace, sneaking onto the airship undetected. Ordinary mages' protective spells were useless. They could only rely on forming a formation in the hope of blocking the enemy and exposing their presence.

The mages on the deck gritted their teeth and quickly took their positions. A faintly visible magical thread connected dozens of mages together, forming the most powerful defensive formation in the Eastern magic world: the Xuanwu Formation.

These dozens of mages poured their magic into the formation. When one of the mages was attacked, the attacker faced a defensive spell cast by all of them.

Sure enough, the gust of wind rushed fiercely towards another mage on the outer edge, but as soon as it entered the outer edge of the array's radiation, the speed of the wind was obviously affected. Like a bullet hitting water, although it was still moving forward, it encountered strong resistance, and its speed and lethality were greatly reduced.

"Found it! Give it a good beating!" Zhang Quanshu shouted, pointing at the distorted air in that direction. Actually, he didn't need to shout; the mages had already pointed their wands in that direction, and those who cast spells quickly had already thrown fireballs or ice arrows. But at that moment, a mage from another direction screamed in agony. Zhang Quanshu turned around and saw that the man had been cut in half at the waist, his death gruesome.

"There are two!" Zhang Quanshu exclaimed in surprise. That's right. If the other side could have one assassin sneaking up, they could have a second and a third. If the Ship of Light had such an army of invisible monsters, then no country's Ministry of Magic on Earth could match it, unless a way to counter these invisible monsters was found.

"Hahahaha! The deputy director of the Eastern Magic Execution Department can only hide in his shell and not come out. How pathetic!" A figure suddenly appeared on the roof of the airship's main cabin, crossed his legs, held a Japanese fan, and pointed at Zhang Quanshu mockingly.

This was a Japanese man in his forties or fifties, with an ordinary appearance, the kind you'd easily lose in a crowd. But he had a conspicuous scar on his neck, as if his head had been chopped off. It was Fujiwara Ichiura himself, but he was very different from what he had been like half a year ago. Two strange, black, tree-root-like limbs protruded from his back, writhing like tentacles, making anyone who looked at them feel nauseous.

"Fujiwara Ichiura! It's you!" Although Zhang Quanshu didn't recognize the other person, there were still a few mages from the Executive Department on the deck who recognized Fujiwara Ichiura's appearance and couldn't help but shout.

Fujiwara Ichiura waved his fan, looking utterly bored, and said, "Sigh, if you ask me, you bunch of worthless scoundrels are really not worthy of my personal attention. My two pets alone are enough to devour you alive."

"Outrageous!" An old Taoist priest returned to the airship from the air and saw Fujiwara Ichiura spouting nonsense. He couldn't help but shout, his figure moving like an arrow. He extended his whisk and conjured a sword, similar in function to Yan Nishuang's Demon-Slaying Sword, only slightly less powerful. The other mages who had flown out returned to the deck, surrounding Zhang Quanshu in layers.

Before Fujiwara Ichiura could even make a move, his sword collided with something extremely powerful and was smashed into pieces in mid-air. The old Taoist priest let out a scream and fell from the kite, but fortunately, a quick-witted sorcerer on the deck caught him in time.

The old Taoist's experience fully demonstrated to everyone that traditional spells and talismans are completely insufficient to deal with enemies like Fujiwara Ichiura. Not to mention that he now has invisible monsters as helpers, his previously recorded shikigami summoning and curse spells alone are enough to give this group of elite executives a run for their money.

"Hahaha... You've all seen it. If I wanted, I could kill you all one by one at any time. You know nothing about true power! But I'm willing to give you a way out! Join the Ship of Light, and let us fight together for a more sublime faith..." Fujiwara Ichiura's eyes widened, his face bulging with veins, and he spoke in a crazed manner.

"You, you, you...you actually dared to turn the elite of the Eastern Executive Department against me right in front of me! This is outrageous!" Zhang Quanshu knew that he had the numbers but was already at a disadvantage, but he still shouted and cursed, though his tone was not so confident.

"I think you know nothing about true power!" Suddenly, a young man's voice came from the sky. Accompanied by a thin mist, a figure slowly descended from the moonlight and stopped in mid-air. His posture was as graceful as could be, like an immortal walking out of the moon.

However, this immortal was dressed in sportswear and was holding a large mask to cover his face; it was Bai Lin.

"It's you?!" Fujiwara Ichiura jumped up from the top of the cabin like a wildcat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted. Others might not recognize Bai Lin, but he had fought Bai Lin many times, and even suffered a hidden loss in the battle against Ju-on, and was forced to blow up the underground research room. He hated Bai Lin to the bone.

"It's fate that we've run into each other today! I'll take care of you too!" Fujiwara Ichiura shouted.
