Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 365 Nick Fury's Assassination (3000+ words)

Grant, being a top-notch action expert, immediately turned his gun around and aimed it back at the real Jerry on Coulson's right after realizing that the Jerry in front of him was just an illusion.

Unfortunately, just as his spearhead was halfway turned, a blue magical light struck him, and he froze in place like a statue.

It was Jerry who casually tossed him the "Petrify All" spell.

Against ordinary people without magic resistance, even if they are top-tier ace agents and combat experts, one "Petrify All" is enough.

However, as soon as Grant was frozen in place, a powerful knee strike sent him flying, and upon landing, he received a heavy slap across the face.

It was May who kneed him, and Skye who slapped him.

Aside from Jerry, who didn't know Grant well, everyone in Coulson's team was extremely saddened and furious about Grant's espionage.

But the most angry and heartbroken were none other than May and Skye.

May was because she had a sexual relationship with Grant in the past. Although her physical needs far outweighed her emotional needs, there were still some feelings between them.

Skye's surveillance agent was Grant, and many of her espionage skills, including combat abilities, were taught to her by Grant, who also secretly harbored feelings for her.

"Kill them!"

Seeing Grant captured in an instant, Garrett finally panicked. After giving all the centipede warriors the order to attack, he immediately turned around and ran towards a door at the other end of the warehouse without saying a word.

He knew that these centipede warriors were no match for the wizard, but if they could buy him some time to escape into the base, he might be able to escape using other means of transportation.

After all, the quantum devices here are still operating, and the other party still cannot teleport.

"Lightning strike!"

Seeing this, Jerry sneered and no longer held back, directly launching an area-of-effect attack spell.

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the previously clear sky above the opened warehouse roof. Then, bolts of lightning struck down from the cloud, accurately hitting each centipede warrior who was about to launch an attack.

Garrett invested countless hours, energy, and money, combining all the available information that S.H.I.E.L.D. could gather, to stitch together the Centipede Warrior.

And just like that, Jerry's lightning strike turned them all into charcoal, doing absolutely no good in delaying the inevitable.

This scene made everyone in Coulson's team realize once again Jerry's power and the power of magic.

"Apparition!"

After eliminating all the centipede warriors, Jerry instantly appeared in front of Garrett with an Apparition spell, blocking his path.

"Sorry, buddy, this road is blocked!"

How could you still...?

Garrett was stunned when he saw the wizard appear in front of him in an instant. Had the quantum equipment in the base stopped working?

Jerry interrupted directly:

"Oh, you mean the ability of 'teleportation'? Sorry, my magic isn't such an inconvenient ability."

He didn't know what kind of high-tech equipment the other party used to disrupt the nearby spatial structure, causing his spatial magic to fail. If it were a mage who only knew how to cast spells according to incantations but didn't understand the principles of magic, he would naturally be stumped.

However, as a wizard who was very proficient in the principles of spatial magic, how could such a small problem stump him? After adapting to the space here and making some corresponding adjustments to the magic, he could naturally solve the problem.

Why can't Apparition be used inside Hogwarts Castle?

That's because the castle contains a very powerful anti-Apparition spell, a spell specifically designed to alter the spatial structure of Apparition magic by targeting its spatial movement characteristics.

Its effect is similar to Garrett's use of quantum devices to interfere.

Why are house-elves and Dumbledore, who borrows the power of the phoenix, able to teleport normally in the castle?

Because the teleportation magic of house-elves belongs to elven magic, the underlying principles are the same but have some changes. Dumbledore's Apparition after borrowing the power of the phoenix was also different from his previous Apparition.

Their teleportation had exceeded the range of the Anti-Apparition Charm's blocking effect, and they remained unrestrained.

Jerry also broke through the interference of the quantum device using the same principle, but with his current research on spatial magic, it was even easier for him.

Similarly, when he returns to Hogwarts, the anti-Apparition spell in the castle will no longer have any effect on him.

If you only know how to use power but not the principles, you will never be able to fully master it. This applies to technology, superpowers, and magic.

A sharpshooter is indeed skilled, but the most skilled sharpshooter is one who understands the manufacturing principles of firearms and can continuously modify and upgrade them to adapt to various situations.

"John Garrett, you're finished!"

At that moment, Coulson, pistol in hand, approached John Garrett and delivered a powerful hook punch to his face.

Garrett did not resist. He took out the pistol from his waist and threw it on the ground. Then he wiped the blood from his nose, slowly squatted down, and looked like he was at the mercy of others.

He knew that with the wizard there, he had absolutely no chance of escaping.

However, as long as he is not killed on the spot, there is still a chance, because even if he is taken back to S.H.I.E.L.D., it is not a big problem.

Half an hour later, the Airbus plane, piloted by May, landed at the warehouse parking area.

Garrett, Grant, and all the guards at the Thousand Mile Base, along with the scientists who had been kidnapped like Dr. Hansen, were all put into the Airbus aircraft.

As the former S.H.I.E.L.D. air command center, the Airbus can accommodate more than 200 people, while the Horizon Base currently has only a little over 100 people alive, so there is no need to worry about overloading.

"Jerry, could you please use magic to send me and this traitor back to the Tri-Wing Building?"

In the Airbus terminal, Coulson, carrying a bruised and battered Garrett, pleaded with Jerry.

Jerry glanced at Coulson with some surprise:

"Of course, no problem, it's not much trouble. But what information did you get out of him? Are you in such a hurry?"

With the Thousand-Mile Eye organization destroyed and its leader captured, he had successfully completed his deal with Coulson.

However, judging from Coulson's expression, it seems there's more to come.

Coulson sighed:

"This guy is an expert in torture; it's hard to get any useful information from him unless he wants to talk. But do you remember the Baron Wolfgang von Stark he mentioned earlier?"

"By the way, you still haven't told me who this baron is?"

When he was standing next to Coulson, he saw Coulson's expression change drastically upon hearing the name, only to be interrupted by Grant's attack.

Coulson explained with a somewhat serious expression:

"Baron Wolfgang von Stark, also known as Baron Strucker, was born in the late 19th century at Strucker Castle in Bavaria, Germany, and was a key member of Hydra during World War II."

According to S.H.I.E.L.D. records, he died during World War II.

"But now not only is he not dead, he's also in contact with this clairvoyant. That's interesting. Let me see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately understood Coulson's concerns, so he turned to Garrett and cast Legilimency on him.

"Huh, I can't see it!"

By using the Mind Control Spell to probe Garrett's mental world, he discovered that the other party did not have any obvious thought processes at the moment; all that was happening was a few words flashing mechanically and repeatedly.

As a master torturer, Garrett took precautions after learning from Grant that wizards had the ability to read information from the brain through their eyes.

Just like undergoing hypnosis training, Garrett is now self-hypnotizing, forcibly burying important memories deep in his brain so that Jerry cannot access them.

Because he knew that if Jerry knew all the information in his mind, he would never be able to turn things around.

"Since the incantation of 'seizing the spirit' doesn't work, let's use medicine!"

Jerry didn't dwell on it. After all, he hadn't spent much time studying the Soul Reaping Spell in depth, so it wasn't surprising that the other party could resist it using special methods.

So he immediately reached out and took out the truth serum.

Garrett was able to resist Legilimency through self-hypnosis because he had received the necessary training, but as long as his body remained that of an ordinary person, he would be absolutely unable to resist the effects of Truth Elixir.

"Jerry, let's go to headquarters first and find the director. I think the director also wants to hear the information he knows for himself."

Seeing Jerry take out the truth serum he had mentioned before, Coulson immediately offered his suggestion.

Jerry thought about it for a moment and agreed that it made sense, so he temporarily put away the truth serum.

However, just as he was about to open the portal, his magic mirror suddenly rippled, indicating that someone was urgently contacting him through the mirror.

"It's quite rare for Captain Rogers to contact me!"

Looking at the mirror, which was the same mirror that Captain America had been given after the dinner party following the Battle of New York, Jerry showed a look of surprise.

Keep in mind, this was the first time Captain America had contacted him using the Magic Mirror.

"J, Nick Fury has been attacked and is in critical condition. We need your help!"

As soon as the Magic Mirror connected, Captain America's slightly anxious voice came through it.

Before Jerry could answer, Coulson, who was standing next to him, had already nervously leaned over:

"Captain Rogers, Chief Fury has been attacked and is still in critical condition. What happened?"

"Coulson? Aren't you already..."

When Captain America saw Coulson appear in the Magic Mirror, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He had no idea that Coulson had been resurrected.

"I think it would be better if we met in person to talk!"

Jerry used the magic mirror to locate the portal and drew a portal with his hand.

Sorry, I'm still 2000 short. My mind is blank. I'll catch up in a couple of days after I've calmed down.
