Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 279 Mirror Image Reappearance
Moon's mind was in chaos.

Consciousness is about to be completely swallowed by the blood mist.

However, at this moment, a mysterious power began to surge deep in Moon's brain.

[Memory Recall] The magic quietly starts.

Although this magic was created by Moon, it was not intended for magical combat.

It is also impossible to stop the attacks of the faithless leader and the magic that confuses the mind.

But fortunately, this magic can protect Moon's weak consciousness, penetrate deep into his mind, and avoid the harm of the blood mist.

At this moment, Moon only felt that his brain was becoming increasingly out of control, and his thoughts were as chaotic as a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

The body began to fall rapidly and uncontrollably, falling towards the unknown dark magical abyss.

After an unknown amount of time, Moon slowly woke up.

He found himself leaving Castle Kolin and appearing in a strange and eerie forest.

There was dead silence all around, and the thick night was like a heavy curtain, covering the entire forest.

There is not a breath of wind here, and the leaves are not moving.

Even the chirping of insects and birds, which should be heard in the forest, disappeared completely at this moment, and the silence was so eerie that it was terrifying.

"anyone there?"

Moon spoke subconsciously.

The voice echoed in the silent forest, but received no response.

Although Moon was a wizard, he was still confused by such a strange and bizarre scene.

Suddenly, Moon saw a flash of light appear in front of him, which seemed particularly abrupt.

With a hint of curiosity, Moon walked towards the light.

As I got closer, I realized that the light was a ray of moonlight that passed through the thick clouds and fell on the path in the forest.

But this moonlight is strange.

The originally bright white turned into a strange red.

And there was no shadow of his own on the ground.

Moon felt an ominous premonition in his heart, but he did not stop and continued to move forward.

When passing through the dense woods, Moon was shocked by the scene before him.

In the sky, a familiar crimson moon hangs high.

And in the center of the scarlet moon, a crack as black as ink was shocking, as if it was an unhealable wound.

"This... this seems to be what I saw in the Mirror of Erised."

Looking at the black aura that continued to seep out from the cracks on the Scarlet Moon, Moon became more and more certain of his judgment.

But there must be something missing here.

With doubts, Moon walked forward along the path under his feet.

The surrounding plants seemed to be cursed by an evil force, all dead and lifeless.

The branches were twisted, like pairs of dead bones stretching towards the sky. The flowers and plants on the ground had long since withered, turning into pieces of black debris.

Moon took every step carefully.

I don’t know how far I walked when I suddenly heard a heart-wrenching roar.

Moon quickened his pace and turned a corner, then he saw a familiar magical creature.

Thestral.

This Thestral was completely different from the one Moon had seen at Hogwarts.

Its body became even thinner, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind, and a strange aura emanated from its body.

The Thestral's eyes were completely filled with blood red.

When it roared, its sharp teeth were exposed, with undried flesh and internal organs hanging on them, making it look particularly ferocious.

There was a hole in the Thestral's wing.

The white bones were exposed, flashing a cold white light under the eerie moonlight.

Moon had heard Hagrid say that Thestrals also ate meat.

But the behavior of the Thestral before him revealed a sense of madness and morbidity.

In order to find out the situation, Moon quietly walked around and found that the food of the Thestral was actually his own companion!
Moreover, the way it gnawed was rough and ferocious, as if it had fallen into a state of madness from which it could not extricate itself.

Click!

The branches under his feet were broken, and the slight sound attracted the attention of the Night Thestral.

After hearing the sound, Ye Qi raised his head instantly.

Seeing Moon next to him, a hint of excitement flashed in its blood-red eyes.

Before Moon could say anything, Ye Qi flapped its broken wings and flew towards him quickly.

There was a constant sharp hissing sound coming from his mouth.

Seeing Ye Qi's crazy look, Moon felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Subconsciously, I wanted to raise my wand to repel the other party.

But when he reached his hand to his waist, he was horrified to find that there was no trace of the wand on his body!
Without time to think, Moon hurriedly squatted down and narrowly avoided the Night Thestral's pounce.

Then he turned and ran deep into the woods.

Moon knew very well that without a wand, he was no match for this crazy Thestral.

We can only use the surrounding trees to slow down the speed of the Night Thestral.

While running, Moon's hands frantically groped around his body.

Suddenly, he felt a bulging object in the cloth bag of his magic robe.

"Is this... an invisibility cloak?"

Looking at the figure of the Night Thestral getting closer and closer behind him, Moon didn't have time to think too much.

He quickly put on the invisibility cloak and hid behind a big tree, not daring to breathe.

The Thestral circled around for a long time, constantly neighing, trying to find traces of food.

The moon in the sky did not move, and Moon did not know how much time had passed.

Finally, after not finding Moon's figure, Ye Qi snorted unwillingly and left in a huff.

Only when Ye Qi's figure gradually disappeared did Moon breathe a sigh of relief cautiously.

"Why is Dumbledore wearing his Invisibility Cloak? And why is he wearing his wand?"

Not only was his wand missing, but Moon's notebook, the mask he usually carried with him, and the mask he wore when fighting outside were all gone.

"Forget it, it's more important to get out first."

Although Moon didn't know where this place was yet, he knew very well that the battle outside must still be going on.

He had to find a way out as soon as possible.

Moon headed toward the path again, but this time in the opposite direction from where the Thestrals had left.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Moon suddenly realized that he was back to where he was.

In the distance, the Thestral was still frantically tearing apart the corpse of its companion.

After Moon discovered the other party, he immediately put on an invisibility cloak.

Ye Qi looked up and looked around. After finding nothing wrong, he continued to enjoy the delicious food.

Moon breathed a sigh of relief. As he got closer, he discovered that he had overlooked a point worth noting.

Not far behind Ye Qi, a large willow tree, completely black, stood by the roadside.

This big willow tree is taller than the spiritual tree on Xingjin Island.

However, all the leaves on it have fallen off, and the trunk is pitch black, emitting a strange and terrifying smell.

All right!

Moon was now certain that this was the image he saw in the Mirror of Erised.

Recalling the scene when the scene in the magic mirror changed.

Moon guessed that the key to his escape might be hidden in that big willow tree.

While Moon was thinking, the Thestral, after a hearty meal, finally fell asleep contentedly.

Hearing the occasional low snoring from the Thestral, Moon walked cautiously towards the willow tree.

He took every step with extreme caution.

As Moon got closer to the willow tree, he felt more and more clearly that there was something strange about it.

Its breath of life was very weak, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

What shocked Moon even more was that he seemed to feel that the willow tree was sending him a signal for help.

That vague sense of urgency was like an invisible hand, pulling him forward.

"Is it really alive?"

Moon was filled with curiosity.

After a brief thought, he decided to move forward.

At this moment, whether this willow tree is alive or not, it is very likely to be the key to his leaving this mysterious world.

Finally, we arrived at the willow tree.

Moon gently lifted a corner of the invisibility cloak, revealing a hand.

Then slowly stroke the rough trunk.

The moment his palm touched the tree trunk, Moon felt a powerful magical energy.

However, this magical energy exuded an evil aura, which was very similar to the curse he saw on the spirit tree.

"How can I save you?" Moon asked silently in his heart.

But there was only deathly silence all around, and no sound broke the silence.

Just when Moon was full of curiosity and at a loss.

Suddenly, he was horrified to find that he couldn't take his hand away.

The willow tree seemed to have life, holding his hand tightly.

Do not!
It's not the willow tree, it's that magical energy!

At this time, without any warning.

The huge black magical energy, like a flood bursting through a dam, continuously transferred from the willow tree to Moon's body.

"What's going on here?"

Moon's mind was in a mess and he had no time to think.

This black energy surged like a tidal wave, unstoppable.

He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.

Even though Moon struggled hard, trying to break free from the restraint of this energy, it was all in vain.

His body was firmly fixed in place, unable to move.

And the willow tree that was originally dying seemed to be reborn during the transfer of magical energy.

The black on the body slowly faded away, the dry branches began to sprout, and the tender green shoots emerged like bamboo shoots after rain.

Ye Qi, who was originally guarding nearby, was awakened by the sudden noise.

It opened its eyes drowsily and saw the strange scene in front of it. Especially when it saw Moon, a fierce light flashed in its eyes for a moment.

Instinctively, it flapped its wings and flew towards Moon.

The bloody mouth opened wide, and the sharp teeth flashed coldly, as if it wanted to swallow Moon in one bite.

Moon was in dire straits.

The huge cursed magic energy sucked him tightly, making it impossible for him to avoid the Night Thestral's attack.

Seeing the bloody mouth of the Night Thestral stretching out in front of him, Moon closed his eyes tightly.

However, at the critical moment.

A green willow branch fell from the willow tree like lightning.

It wrapped around the Thestral at an extremely fast speed and swung it hard.

Ye Qi's huge body was thrown out violently and fell heavily to the ground with a dull crash.

Meanwhile, Moon was still absorbing the remaining huge dark magic energy from the willow tree.

His body trembled slightly under the impact of this energy, and an expression of pain appeared on his face.

At this time, the outside world and the battlefield were like a hell on earth.

The air was filled with smoke, and the sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and monsters roaring were intertwined and endless.

Because of the overwhelming and huge number of bats joining in.

Whether it is a war between ordinary people or a war between wizards, victory has long been on the side of the faithless.
