American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

Hermione's face was burning from the heat, and she quickly took out tissues from her pocket to wipe away the sweat.

Harvey then took out his smartphone, opened Google Maps, and compared the address with the one he remembered.

“Rand Building, East 14th Street... Philost Apartments should be this way, follow me.”

The buildings along the street are haphazard and disorganized.

There are old pizzerias with shaky double glass doors, grocery stores with piles of goods at the entrance, and low-rise apartment buildings with peeling paint on their exterior walls.

Harvey led Hermione into a small alley, where the stench of rotting food and garbage greeted them.

A black man wearing a dirty white shirt and ripped jeans was curled up asleep on a cardboard box in a dark corner of the alley.

Judging from the syringes scattered on the ground nearby, Harvey guessed that this guy must have been high on drugs last night.

Hermione covered her nose and waved her wand, casting a Breeze Spell.

A strong gust of wind swirled around, driving the unpleasant smells deeper into the alley.

"Are you sure the dragon bones are in a place like this?" Hermione frowned as she looked at the secluded alley.

Garbage and debris were haphazardly piled up in the alley, and black garbage bags were riddled with holes chewed by rats, with sewage flowing out through the holes.

A few skinny stray cats rummaged through the garbage for food, along with a high-flying black guy.

This place doesn't look like it's hiding any treasure at all.

Chapter 52 Searching for Dragon Bones

Even with the spell cast, the lingering stench in the air remained intense.

Hermione, who has a slight case of mysophobia, is finding it hard to tolerate this terrible environment.

"It should be right here."

Harvey used his magic to carefully sense his surroundings, especially underground.

Threads of invisible magic seeped deep into the cracks in the ground.

Two minutes later.

Just as Hermione was about to unleash Fiendfire to burn down the garbage alley.

Harvey's face darkened. "How could we not find it?" he asked.

Although the dragon bones did not appear at this time, surely there should be some trace of them.

Or is it that the dragon bones didn't leak any aura when they were sealed?

"Are you sure you can handle this?" Hermione asked, pinching her nose and speaking in a muffled voice.

This concerns a man's dignity; how could Harvey say no?

"It seems we'll have to do something big to break the seal on the dragon bones."

With that, Harvey solemnly took out his wand, his magic surging out wildly as he cast a Polymorph spell on the ground.

The hard cement floor was forcibly split open, revealing a bottomless, pitch-black passage before the two of them.

Seeing the foul-smelling sewage flowing into the hole, Hermione swore with disgust:

"I would never go into that sewer!"

Harvey cast the Bubble Head Spell, and two transparent bubbles, resembling goldfish bowls, covered the heads of the two men.

"Let's go. The dragon bones should be underground. Don't you want to save Professor Dumbledore?"

The Bubble Head Curse worked very well, completely isolating the surrounding murky air, but Hermione still hesitated when she looked at the pitch-black entrance that seemed to lead to hell.

"Are we going to fall in and never get out?"

Harvey, not wanting to waste any more time, cast a levitation spell and carried Hermione directly into the cave.

"what--"

After a series of terrified screams.

In the pitch-black environment, a terrified Hermione clung tightly to Harvey's waist.

"Lumos!"

A bright light source appeared, illuminating the surrounding environment.

This place resembles an underground cave, with damp, yellowish-white soil on the walls and several narrow passageways leading to unknown destinations.

Harvey also found a layer of ash on the cave floor.

Clearly, this underground cave has existed for a long time.

In addition, the vague sense of oppression around him made him wonder if he had found the right place.

Hermione, half-hanging from Harvey's waist, cautiously opened her eyes and looked around after realizing the fall had stopped. "Where am I?"

Feeling the soft body of the little witch in his arms up close, Harvey felt a surge of heat in his heart. He silently recited a calming spell as he explained:

"This should be the location where the dragon bone was sealed. Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, the Celestials and the Earth Gods waged a brutal war."

"In this unprecedented war of gods, a divine dragon with power approaching that of a heavenly father unfortunately perished."

"After its death, its remains were sealed by ancient Qi cultivators of Kunlun using a secret method."

"Because the dragon bones contain the laws comprehended by the divine dragon, they have maintained their great power even after a long period of time."

"Only the heart of the legendary Elder Shou can serve as the key to unlock the sealed location of the dragon's remains..."

Hermione's pretty face still had a hint of paleness. As she listened, she suddenly realized that her behavior had been too unrestrained, and she quickly and awkwardly straightened her legs and stood back on the ground.

Then, feigning nonchalance, she asked, "But we don't have the key. Do you have a way to break the seal?"

Although he could tell the little witch was a bit shy, Harvey didn't tease her. Instead, he gently raised his wand and pointed deep into the passageway, saying:

"There's a famous saying that perfectly describes the current situation: all problems are powerless in the face of absolute strength!"

A gentle breeze suddenly arose inside the deep cave.

Harvey unleashed his Unseen Blade technique repeatedly, each invisible blade slicing through the air and widening the narrow passage on the left.

A mysterious rainbow light appeared deep within the expanded passageway.

"Good luck, it seems the sealing location is deep inside this tunnel."

Harvey led the little witch's delicate hand toward the left passageway.

Hermione did not resist; the broad, warm hands made her feel more at ease.

Curious, the two ventured deeper into the passageway, only to discover that it was a semi-transparent protective shield composed of dazzling neon lights.

“Step back, I’m going to forcefully break the seal,” Harvey warned.

Hermione took two steps back and waved her wand to cast a transparent magical shield around herself.

Once they were both ready, Harvey pointed his wand at the shimmering protective shield and silently chanted.

"Vulcan—descend!"

As magic surged from the tip of the wand, the temperature in the narrow passage rose rapidly.

Emerging from nowhere, streams of cyan flames formed fire dragons and crashed into the rainbow-colored protective shield.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

The extremely high temperature of the flames turned the tunnel walls into lava, and the hot, red magma flowed freely on the tunnel floor.

However, the rainbow shield remained unresponsive to the continuous attack of the flames.

"Damn it!" Harvey cursed under his breath.

The two were located deep underground, and rashly using a powerful attack spell could cause a large-scale sinkhole.

He didn't want to be buried alive under hundreds of tons of soil.

After thinking for a moment, Harvey tapped his wand lightly, stopping the casting of the Vulcan Descent Charm.

He used his left hand to create a portal the size of a fist, facing the protective shield.

Cut the protective shield using the power of space.

When the edge of the golden portal touched the protective shield.

The surface of the iridescent shield exhibited extremely violent fluctuations.

Waves of translucent light rippled out from the cut.

The protective shield trembled and teetered on the brink of collapse for ten minutes, but it still hadn't been breached.

Losing patience, Harvey communicated with the unknown dimension using the secret magic of Kamar-Taj.

Support with both hands.

A beam of azure energy shot out.

"Zizi..."

The energy beam continuously eroded the protective shield, causing the translucent iridescent protective layer to tremble more and more violently.

Until with a pop, the protective shield completely disappeared.

Harvey nodded in satisfaction.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Hermione followed Harvey across the protective barrier and into a dark cave.

"Fluorescent light flickers... twinkling and sparkling~"

Hermione's voice as she cast the spell echoed throughout the cave, creating repeated thuds.

Moreover, the light source at the tip of her wand only illuminated a small area around her, leaving a large portion of the cave in darkness.

Seeing this, Harvey waved his wand and cast "Blazing Flames" to summon more than a dozen flames to serve as a light source, and controlled the flames to fly in all directions.

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

As streaks of flame shot through the air at high speed, they finally illuminated most of the cave.

"Merlin's beard!"
