Hogwarts: Nagini captured at the start

Chapter 42 The Final Battle

"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll kick you up there and skewer you like a meat skewer."

Grant looked at the treetop, which was about the thickness of a thumb, and his glutes involuntarily tightened. "Master, no."

"Then behave yourself. Go stay over there!"

Grant moved his big feet and walked to the spot his master had designated.

Luo Bin pulled a slingshot from his black robe. He remembered that in the original story, anything that bumped into the "Hit-and-Beat Willow Tree" would be severely beaten with its branches. So...

He placed the ice bullet, aimed at a slightly smaller twig, and stretched the rubber band to its maximum length.

shhhhh!

Boom!

The ice bullet struck the branch precisely.

The treetops swayed like water plants, bobbing a couple of times before returning to their original still state.

The branches weren't smashed; was the impact force insufficient?

Luo Bin raised an eyebrow, a sly glint flashing in his deep, dark eyes. He said to the bewildered goblin, "Take two steps forward, then two more, then one more. And then... oh my god, are you crazy?"

Grant was an impatient goblin. When he heard the third "go again," he put his feet together, bent his knees slightly, and suddenly jumped forward a meter.

boom!

The Willow Tree, now in battle mode, bends its main trunk into an arc, its branches twisting and surging downwards. Countless slender branches converge into a giant fist, striking the garden goblin with speed, precision, and ruthlessness.

Ouch, most of that fist is buried in the ground. Is that love-struck fool still alive?

The dense twigs completely obscured what lay beneath the fist. Robin tentatively called out, "Grant, are you really dead?"

Whoosh!

Apart from the rustling of the twigs, there were no other sounds coming from the bottom of the fist.

One minute later, there was still no sound. Luo Bin sighed and silently lit three white candles for the goblins in his heart.

Suddenly, a sinister, hoarse voice came from behind, "Master, why didn't you say beforehand that the strange tree would beat people up?"

Huh, he's not dead?

Robin turned to look at Grant.

It clenched its fists, stretched its neck straight, and had a fierce look in its eyes.

Ah!

Why blame others when you yourself are disobedient?

Needs discipline!

"Did I just say to jump forward one meter? Grant, every time you disobey an instruction, I'll write it down in my little notebook. If you accumulate more than five demerits, I'll give the 'Goblin Courtship Manual' to your rival—Trui Frent—for free!"

Upon hearing that the secret manual would be given to his love rival, Grant broke down.

It plopped down on the ground, crying and wailing as it begged its owner to erase the demerit.

His raspy voice was giving everyone a headache. Luo Bin frowned and said, "Get up. If you behave well tonight, I'll consider erasing your demerit!"

"Master, tonight, if you tell me to go west, I will never go east; if you tell me to move forward, I will never go backward!"

Grant finished speaking in a fawning manner, then got up and ran to the spot where Robin had been made to stand.

"Master, how many steps forward will you take this time?"

The blow that Darenliu delivered just now was enough for Luo Bin to determine the exact range of Darenliu's attacks, which was about 1 meter wider than he had previously estimated.

"No need, Grant. Dig a hole 1.5 meters deep down from here, then dig a tunnel horizontally towards the Whomping Willow. Oh, and every 1.5 meters, dig an exit upwards!"

Luo Bin pointed to the edge of the crater created by the fist and said.

"Master, digging is my forte; I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

After Grant finished speaking, he began to dig a hole, and soon he had completed the task assigned by his master.

Robin pulled out his slingshot again, stretched the rubber band to its maximum length, and said, "Grant, when you pop your head out of the burrow and the willow branch is about to hit you, you quickly slip back into the burrow!"

"Yes, Master!"

Grant: I'll fight for Lilysa!

Seeing the goblin return to the edge of the pit, Robin aimed and fired an ice bullet.

Whoosh! Thump!

As before, the treetops swayed a few times and then fell silent, but Luo Bin knew that the Beating Willow had already activated its battle mode.

It's time to release the other two.

Robin used his mind to manipulate the Rubik's Cube and launch Nagini and Little Grey.

As soon as Nagini landed on the ground, it slithered its snake body around Robin, and finally, its huge snake head nuzzled his cheek affectionately.

Little Grey, like a balloon that had just been blown up and then popped out of its mouth, darted wildly through the night sky, radiating an aura of "I'm going to fight, I'm going to beat people up."

"Nagini, when the willow branch hits the ground later, use the 'Flower Entanglement' skill to prevent it from snapping back, understand?"

Nagini flicked its tongue, glanced at the tree that was more than ten meters tall with its vertical pupils, nodded its head as if it were human, and then wriggled its snake body to swim to Grant's side, half-extending its body and entering first-level combat mode.

Luo Bin beckoned, calling Little Grey over!

"When you use the 'Soul Devouring' skill later, how much you can devour depends entirely on your own ability, but one thing is certain: you can't kill the Man-Beating Willow!"

Little Grey excitedly circled Luo Bin's neck three times, indicating that it understood!

Luo Bin: (へ╮), damn it, if I didn't know that the magical creature that had been captured in the grid couldn't attack its master, I would have definitely given you a big slap on the neck the first time you wrapped your arms around it.

On the other side, Little Gray, who was showing off his skills on the goblin's head, suddenly felt a chill down his back, which caused him to slow down his spinning speed considerably.

Very good, all three magical creatures have entered battle mode, so the moment of final battle has arrived!

Luo Bin stretched out his arms and spread his hands flat, using his mind to take out the silencer magic saw from his sea of ​​consciousness!

boom!

A magic saw a meter long landed on his arm, making his wrist tremble!

hiss!

It was quite heavy. Robin slung the wide strap diagonally over his shoulder and then pressed the saw against his hip. With the weight shared by his shoulder and hip, he immediately felt much lighter.

"Grant, you can burrow now. Little Grey, you go and crash into the trunk of the tree. Nagini, if you can't lock onto the branches later, retreat. Your safety is the most important thing."

Robin gripped the saw handle tightly, channeled magic into the iron box, and chanted: Activate!

The saw teeth rotate at an incredibly high speed, yet they made absolutely no noise. It seems that spending 10 Galleons was well worth it!

"Yes, Master!"

Grant, head down and feet up, burrowed into the hole. Five seconds later, it popped its head out of the adjacent hole and waved its arms tauntingly at the Whomping Willow.

In an instant, the trunk of the Man-Beating Willow bent into an arc, its twisted branches surging downwards, and countless slender branches converged into a giant fist, striking the location of the Garden Goblin with speed, accuracy, and force.

When the giant fist was 0.1 meters off the ground, Grant retreated into the hole and scrambled down at top speed!

boom!

The large fist and most of the thin branches sank into the large pit again.

Nagini moved with the agility of a rabbit, its serpentine body darting towards the junction of the twigs and branches.

Before the willow branch could be pulled back, it wrapped around the joint, forcing the thin branch to remain in the shape of a large fist.

Robin then stepped forward carrying the magic saw!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The sharp serrations spin even faster once they touch the bark!

The willow tree, in pain, trembled and split its branches, trying to straighten its bow-like shape.

However, Nagini, remembering its master's orders, used the weight of its entire snake body to press down on the top of the willow tree, making it impossible for it to bend back.

Two minutes later, with a snap, Luo Bin sawed off the branch of the willow tree!

With its main trunk freed from restraint, it snapped back to its original position. The thrashing willow twisted its other branches wildly, as if venting the pain of being 'pruned'. Then, the main trunk bent into an arc shape again, and two branches as thick as battering rams, connected to two large fists, pounded towards Robin and Nagini.

"Nagini, go and trim the thickest branch!"
