Chapter 44 Fight Like a Man!

Ted reached out and patted Hermione's head, casting Ravenclaw Wisdom (Blue) on her.

Hermione's fluffy little head jolted, and she stared at Ted with wide eyes.

Ted winked at her, signaling her to be quiet.

Hermione's original intelligence stat was 7, truly a natural-born academic genius.

Now I've gained 2 more points, and my spirit has increased by 1 point. It feels like my mind has suddenly become crystal clear!

It's as if they're so smart they can solve any problem!

It's so refreshing! It's even a little addictive!

With the boost, Hermione will perform even better.

The team has already devised a battle plan, as well as an evacuation route in case of an emergency.

But Hermione's task will be the most important in a moment.

Oh, and I also need to cast the Bubble Head Charm on each of my friends to prevent non-combat casualties.

……

The three monsters, who had already destroyed a corridor and were heading towards the stairs to the first floor, were still somewhat confused.

They suddenly broke free of their cages, not knowing how they escaped or what they were supposed to do.

Just by looking at their intelligence attributes, you can tell that these three have the intelligence of a five-year-old child, a little smarter than ordinary wild animals, but not much.

They vaguely remembered that they were going to cause a huge disturbance, basically just wreaking havoc wherever they went, and didn't have any other ideas.

Just as they were about to go up the stairs, a sharp squeal rang out, and a large, fat black wild boar rushed down the stairs!

Although I don't understand what's going on, I still have my biological instincts.

The leading mutated giant snorted and swung its huge club in pursuit, smashing down!

"Duang~" Although it was a dull thud from the wood hitting the stone steps, it was still quite loud.

The steps made of ancient bricks have been smashed and cracked! They're antiques!

However, the black boar seemed completely unaffected as it passed through the giant's club and crashed directly into the second-ranked spider-like insect from between its legs.

The spider-like insect didn't understand why the wild boar hadn't been knocked down, but it still instinctively swung its two long blades and chopped at it!

The speed of the attack was so fast that it left afterimages!

Ted secretly observed it and couldn't help but raise its danger level. This thing might look incredibly stupid, but if it were ambushed, this one move could be fatal!

However, the two emerald green bladed arms also passed through the wild boar, which then charged at the third-ranked Kiro Horned Beast without turning its head!

The Quirrell didn't understand what its two teammates were doing, why they were both attacking the back row. It immediately stretched out its two long claws and scratched, opening its mouth wide, but "crunch," it bit empty air.

The wild boar charged headlong into the darkness without looking back, then crashed into the wall and disappeared.

That's right, it's Ted's item card [Wild Boar Firecracker (Green)].

If it were a normal person, from a third-person perspective, it would be possible to see that this wild boar was abnormal and not a normal creature.

But when you see a wild boar bigger than yourself charging towards you from a first-person perspective, who can calmly observe the details?

Not to mention the three low-intelligence monsters.

At this moment, they were staring blankly back at the wall where the wild boar had disappeared!

Judging from the modified troll's appearance, I even considered smashing down the wall to search for it.

At that moment, a blue ice arrow from the shadows flew out in the blink of an eye, grazing the edge of the modified giant's body and striking the spider-mantis.

The spider insect is actually the least likely to be attacked because it has compound eyes that can cover almost 360 degrees.

But in this situation, by the time it sees it, there's no way to hide.

The Frost Arrow struck the Spider-Worm, whose body was covered by a chitinous exoskeleton unique to insects.

If an ordinary person were to make a cut, it would probably be difficult to directly damage the structure.

However, the Frost Arrow was far more powerful than a normal person's strike; it pierced through a hole the size of a fist, shattering the surrounding carapace!

The spider-like insect's small half of its body instantly turned pale blue, emitting a cold aura, and the entire insect stiffened.

Insects are most afraid of cold and fire. The icy arrow that broke through its shell chilled it to the bone!

Ted's recently developed "Frost Arrow" has come in handy! With the experience of developing Frost Armor, the difficulty of developing ice magic has been greatly reduced.

Although the preparation still takes more than four seconds and has almost no practical value in combat, it is still very useful for the first surprise attack!

"Awooo~" Seeing that a living creature was attacking, the modified giant suddenly roared to the sky!

The sound echoed through the corridor like thunder, completely disrupting the plans of the group.

They were about to cast a spell, but the shockwave forced them to cover their ears. Jerry's eyes even started rolling around.

And that mutated giant has already rushed up the stairs!

In crucial moments, we still need Ted.

He used his psychic abilities to block out the tinnitus and shock, and his heart remained completely calm, suppressing all emotions unrelated to the battle.

He calmly cast a spell on the steps ahead: "Slide flat~"

The Slide Spell can make a section of road or slope smooth and flat, reducing friction, just like a slide.

I learned this spell by chance from a book in the library. After practicing it a few times, I never used it again.

Unexpectedly, it came in very handy at this moment!

Suddenly, the steps beneath the mutated giant's feet turned into a slope, so slippery it was as if it had been coated with lubricant, the kind of slope where you could easily slip into if you weren't careful.

The mutated giant slipped and fell hard on the steps. It slid all the way down, knocking over the spider-like insects that were still being frozen and slowed down, breaking two of its thin legs on the spot!

The last member of the group, the Quirrell, was quite clever and dodged in time, but the next second Ron hit it with a Long Tooth Curse.

Then, its large, sharp teeth suddenly grew out and filled its mouth instantly.

The Quirrell shook its head frantically, trying to fling the "strange thing" out of its mouth, but it was no use.

The next moment, Harley used the Cutting Charm. The pale red spell hit, and a 20-centimeter gash instantly split open on the back of the Quirrell, and blood gushed out immediately.

Harley herself hadn't realized the spell had such a powerful effect, and she was startled when she suddenly saw so much blood.

Jerry then used the Leg Locking Charm on the spider-like insect that was trying to get up. Its remaining six legs suddenly stuck together, and it rolled around on the ground, swinging its two blade-like arms wildly, leaving many cuts on the ground.

Even the modified giant was slashed; its thick skin, a full centimeter thick, cracked open, and some yellowish-green blood came out.

The modified troll really doesn't tolerate its teammates; it kicked the spider bug seven or eight meters away.

But the next moment, a large number of white paper butterflies appeared, fluttering up and down around its little head.

All it could see was a blur of white; it couldn't see anything clearly. Reaching out to grab it, the paper butterfly moved so nimbly that its hand remained empty, as if it hadn't grasped anything at all.

After being scratched several times, it lost patience. In a fit of anger, it smacked itself on the head!

"Duang~"

Modified Giant: I'm so angry I'll even hit myself!

Hermione had burned away the troll's brains using Transfiguration to create paper butterflies. He wildly swung his club at his head, occasionally hitting himself, but this only fueled his rage!

Troll: In a fit of extreme rage, I beat myself up all day long!

Jerry cast several Leg Locking Curses on the half-crippled Spider-Worm to reinforce its effect, and then cast two more Leg Locking Curses on the Quirrell.

At this point, apart from the modified giant busy fighting butterflies, the other two monsters had basically lost their threat.

But what about this modified giant?

"How can it be so tough?!" Ron exclaimed, baring his teeth in amazement.

In just a short while, that thigh-thick club had already struck his head five or six times, yet he only bled a little and barely a drop of blood!

The leg-locking curse, tusk-growing curse, and cutting curse they used on the trolls were completely ineffective.

It's the same as not hitting the target at all!

Magic resistance level 2 is already considered magic immunity for them, who are still first-year students.

Faced with this mutated giant, Harley Ron and her friends' abilities were like Cao Pi's wife entering the vegetable garden—Zhen Ji pulling up vegetables.

It's clear that Professor Quirrell's modifications to the troll were successful. After incorporating the troll's blood, the troll improved in every aspect except intelligence. Especially its ability to take a beating!

Even a giant would be knocked down after hitting itself seven or eight times with that force.

But thanks to its powerful physique and healing abilities, this modified giant was completely unharmed!

"Take care of the other two first!" Ted shouted.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Let Hermione keep the giant occupied while we take out the other two.

Ted fired another Frost Arrow, which he had been casting for four seconds, and it struck the spider-mantis, which had lost two legs and was now locked in a six-legged lock.

Another fist-sized hole, the Frost Arrow had penetrated at least thirty centimeters!

Even for a giant insect like the spider beetle, this is far too serious.

Two ice arrows and a kick from the troll had rendered it incapable of struggling. Only its two bladed arms remained, slowly slashing. Though unwilling, death had already arrived unexpectedly!

Neville, who hadn't been helping much, suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"
