Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 139 The Swamp Descends (Still five chapters a day, please follow for updates)

Unlike the peaceful and idyllic Hogsmeade Village.

The battle within Hogwarts has reached a fever pitch.

As all the Ravenclaw students were driven out by a thick fog—the older students looked back and discovered that in just that one moment, more than 20% of their students had been lost.

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, they finally set aside the sacred text and plunged into this "cruel war."

But when they arrived at the auditorium, they were met with an even more shocking scene—dozens of unconscious "corpses" lay on the ground, with red and green forming the main colors on the cold floor.

"These are all Gryffindor and Slytherin students? What happened?"

The Ravenclaw students stared at the scene in disbelief.

Clearly, while they were holed up in the castle doing practice problems, something significant was happening outside as well.

"attack!"

Just then, Cedric's voice rang out again.

At the same time, a large number of wand tips protruded, and a dense barrage of spells bombarded the Ravenclaw students at various speeds!
Dense beams of red and blue light, like a sudden storm, instantly covered all the students!
"Armor protection!"

The Ravenclaw prefects reacted swiftly, shouting at the top of their lungs, and several upperclassmen instantly activated their armor charms.

However, the attack came too fiercely and too suddenly.

The beams of spells struck the invisible barrier, bursting into blinding flashes and ripples, but more spells pierced through the gaps in the defenses and landed on the students behind them.

"Well--!"

In just a brief exchange, Ravenclaw's membership was reduced by another 30%.

Meanwhile, large numbers of Hufflepuff students began to emerge from all parts of the Great Hall.

Some of them were huddled inside their armor, but now they opened their helmets and excitedly peeked out, waving their wands.

Some stood at the height of the second floor of the auditorium—where Cedric had made a temporary high vantage point.

More people gathered at the entrance of the auditorium, forming long rows.

"Don't panic! Slowly back away!"

The seventh-generation Ravenclaws forced themselves to calm down and tried to regroup.

But they knew in their hearts that this was no longer going to make any difference.

First, they were forced out of their defensive position by a mysteriously appearing thick fog, and then they encountered an unscathed Hufflepuff army here. Having lost the initiative in succession, they have been completely eliminated from this war.

Before each Ravenclaw student fell, a strong sense of resentment rose in their heart—they had been somewhat indifferent to this day of freedom.

It's just a different place to practice coding problems and maybe practice some spells along the way.

But after being repeatedly beaten on the head, the once harmonious little badgers, now so well-behaved, suddenly felt that their burying their heads in their studies was somewhat unseemly.

If possible, they will definitely show even more strength on Freedom Day next year!
Just when they were in despair, a dozen Slytherin students suddenly appeared at the entrance to the underground passage!

"Except your weapons!"

"Collapse!"

"Close your ears and plug your ears!"

They waved their wands, precisely using spells to 'kill' Hufflepuff students one by one from their high vantage points.

Then footsteps echoed from above the corridor, and a series of bright red figures appeared high up in the corridor, launching an attack on the auditorium without hesitation.

"There are too many Hufflepuffs. Let's deal with their people first!"

Harry led the way, issuing orders to the chaotic Ravenclaws.

They instinctively raised their wands and pointed them in Hufflepuff's direction—which was fine, since they had attacked themselves first.

"Three academies joining forces? That suits me perfectly!"

Cedric stood in the center of the auditorium entrance, looking at the remaining group of no more than 80 people, a resolute expression on his face.

His tactics have given the academy an enormous advantage. Now, the Hufflepuffs are fighting three against one. Even if they lose, it won't be shameful later.

Moreover, they have preserved more of their manpower, giving them the advantage!
"Control the entrance! Don't let them rush in, don't attack recklessly."

Cedric led his team, while the other side consisted of three allies. "Finally, the fight's started—well done, Harry!"

The Gemini, who had been silently observing the situation from behind the Ravenclaw students, suddenly clenched their fist.

"How so? Isn't now the best time?"

"Almost there—but we need to be careful about the angle—too many Hufflepuff students have survived, so we need to focus on them!"

"What should we do? Just tell us, we'll listen to you!"

The four Slytherin students began to follow the Gemini's lead—they were now completely absorbed in the passion of "doing something big."

"We'll find a way to get around them—we'll ambush them from behind the auditorium!"

While the three colleges inside the auditorium launched their attack, they quietly emerged from the tunnel and ran outside the auditorium.

At this moment, there were very few students left in the three colleges, so naturally they would not attack their own people.

The six moved swiftly, running to the side of the auditorium window in an instant. After crouching down, they quietly used Transfiguration to create a small hole.

"Let's add some spice to this party—guys."

"my pleasure!"

The six men, who were about to succeed in stealing the chicken, all wore the same extremely wicked smile.

Whether it was because their goals were becoming more and more aligned, the six of them found that the Three Talents Formation was being cast extremely smoothly, and they reconnected their magical powers in no time.

With the fiery magical energy connecting with the icy magical energy, George and Fred felt their minds become clearer, and their understanding of swamp magic deepened.
They glanced at each other, then together inserted the tips of their wands into the small hole, aligning them—for a brief moment, they even achieved a six-person coordinated spellcasting.

"The swamp—has descended!"

There was no deafening roar, only a dull and eerie "gurgling" sound coming from deep underground.

The next moment, using the location indicated by their wands as the trigger point, the hard, cold stone floor near the window of the entire hall instantly lost all its solid texture, turning into a bubbling, foul-smelling dark green swamp!
This magical swamp, as if it possessed a living being, spread wildly in all directions at an astonishing speed.

The Hufflepuff students who had gathered at the entrance were the first to be affected!

"what sound?"

Cedric turned his head, his pupils dilating instantly!

Before he could even shout "Scatter!", the ground beneath his feet turned into a sticky trap, and a powerful suction force dragged him downwards!
"Merlin!"

"I'm hooked!"

"Help! Help me out!"

Screams and struggles instantly replaced the chanting.

But the spread of the swamp has only just begun.

It easily swallowed the "unconscious bodies" left by Gryffindor and Slytherin at the entrance, and then spread into the foyer and the outer corridor.

The Gryffindor, Slytherin, and remaining Ravenclaw students who were just charging forward had no time to react before being swept into the rapidly expanding edge of the swamp.

"what happened?!"

"What kind of spell is this?! How can it be so powerful!"

Harry tried to jump to the side, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he stepped into the sticky mud and quickly sank up to his waist. Ron thrashed around next to him, choking on the muddy water.

"No—I will never fall here!"

Harry looked up in frustration, watching the students' corpses rise and fall in the swamp's waves—his gaze was fixed precisely on Cedric, who, even with his thighs already submerged, was still struggling to jump upwards—even as this action was causing him to sink further.

The two met eyes in the mud and understood each other's intentions.

Instant step.

At this moment, only the powerful burst of speed brought by Instant Step can get them out of the swamp!
They must use the Instant Step technique, which they have only used sporadically a few times before, at this moment!
Within a dozen seconds, the entire auditorium entrance, the connecting foyer, and parts of the corridor were transformed into a churning, bubbling swamp.

Nearly a hundred students from four colleges struggled and floundered within it, the incantations long since ceased, leaving only chaotic cries for help and curses.

As for the students who had already lost consciousness, they were quietly moved to other locations amidst a flash of white light.

The Weasley twins and their four Slytherin "accomplices" peered through the small hole at the "masterpiece" that was exactly as expected, and no longer concealing themselves, they jumped up excitedly!
But at that moment, two figures shot out from two places in the swamp like arrows!
