Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 720 One Move to Defeat (First Update)

"Who goes there? How dare they trespass into the palace! Seize them!"

Without further ado, Jerry led Mavis straight towards Zeref's location in the palace. Any palace guards who tried to attack him along the way were instantly knocked to the ground by a stun spell.

As a result, an intrusion alarm soon sounded above the palace, and more palace guards began to gather around Jerry.

Jerry didn't seem to mind; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

Instead of teleporting directly with Mavis, he chose to walk there over a few minutes. His intention was to create some commotion and attract the Magic King as well, thus saving him the trouble of searching for the Magic King after finding Zeref—killing two birds with one stone.

With his Ironclad Spell activated to defend against all ranged magical attacks, and a blue Sleeping Spell swirling rapidly around them, Jerry strolled leisurely through the palace with Mavis.

Countless palace guards surrounding them fell in droves, unable to cause them any harm or hinder them in the slightest.

"You've got something to hide, daring to act so presumptuously in the palace! I, King Agil of the Desert, will personally deal with you!"

Just as they crossed the square in front of the palace, a very wild voice came from above. Jerry looked up and saw that it was Agil, one of the Twelve Shields, who had arrived first.

Agil's magic was a rare sand magic. At this moment, he used sand to condense a gigantic dragon, and stood on the dragon's head, looking down at Jerry and Mavis.

"Lord Agil has arrived! With Lord Agil's intervention, these two intruders are doomed!"

Upon seeing Agil's arrival, all the palace guards showed respect.

The Twelve Shields are the twelve most powerful mages in the empire. This is not a title they made up, but one they earned through their own hard work in the wars to unify the empire.

Each of them has an extremely convincing record. Agil once used sand magic to kill tens of thousands of mages who dared to rebel against the empire's rule.

So the moment they saw Agil arrive, the palace guards already knew what would happen.

However, the actual result was vastly different from what they had expected, so much so that they were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.

"I don't like being looked at like that!"

Upon seeing that it wasn't the Magic King but Agil, Jerry waved his hand, and a terrifying storm mixed with lightning instantly formed in front of Agil, then swept Agil and his desert dragon away with a "whoosh".

Caught in the lightning storm, Agil tried to control the sand with his immense magical power and forcefully break free from its grasp. But every time he mustered his magic, a bolt of lightning from the storm would strike him precisely, shattering all the magic he had painstakingly gathered.

As the palace receded further and further away, Agil couldn't understand why he, who was on par with the God Selene, had been defeated by that man in a single move.

Isn't God Selene the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar and the strongest mage in Ishgar?

"What?! Agil actually lost? And he lost in just one move!"

Inside the palace hall, Governor Imber listened to his guards' report, a look of shock on his face, before issuing the order:

"I'll go and hold them off first, to prevent them from alarming His Majesty. You then go and notify the other officials to come and provide support as quickly as possible. This enemy is extremely troublesome!"

After saying that, he conjured a pair of ice crystal wings on his back and flew towards Jerry's direction.

Imber uses very common ice magic, but he has brought its power to the extreme, able to unleash freezing air exceeding absolute zero, turning a country's season directly from summer to winter.

"Lord Imber has arrived!"

In the square, the guards had just seen Lord Agil blown away and hadn't recovered from their shock when they saw Imber flapping his ice crystal wings and flying over, which rekindled their hope.

"Oh no, Lord Imber has fainted!"

It turned out that Jerry's blue magic beam from his Stunning Spell was too fast. Nainbell was caught off guard when he got close to unleash an ice magic attack and was pierced through from behind, knocking him unconscious.

Many of the spells Jerry uses now, while not changing much in form, have actually had their core replaced by fundamental laws.

Just like this Stunning Curse, it appears no different from the previous Stunning Curses on the surface, but in reality it is evolved from the most fundamental law of sleep.

Therefore, without understanding the corresponding laws, that is, without strength approaching the level of a single universe, one basically has no ability to resist after being hit.

"Lord Brandish of the collapsed kingdom has arrived; Lord Brandia has shrunk."

The green-haired girl, Brandish, is skilled in shape magic and can change the shape of objects at will. She once shrank an entire city to the size of a palm by herself and easily annihilated all the enemies inside.

However, Jerry clearly had a more thorough understanding of the laws of growing bigger and smaller, so her magic had no effect on Jerry; instead, she herself was shrunk to the size of a thumb.

"Lady Timaria, the War Queen, has arrived. Lady Timaria is frozen in place."

War Princess Timalia is skilled in time and receiving magic, and can freeze the enemy's time, but Jerry is obviously better at this.

"Lord Selene, Lord Bradman, Lord Jacob, Lord Neinhart, Lord Val, and Lord Larcade have all arrived! We can definitely stop them now!"

Just as Jerry was about to approach Zeref after defeating four of the Spriggan 12 in a row, six more Spriggan 12 mages appeared, this time together, blocking Jerry and Mavis's path.

"You were able to defeat Agil, Imber, Brandish, and Timalia, so you do have some skill. However, you have no chance against me, the God of the Eight Dragons, Selene!"

Selene, with her red hair, stepped forward and pointed at Jerry with a confident expression.

As Ishgar's strongest mage, who has eight Dragon Slayer Crystals implanted simultaneously and can use eight types of Dragon Slayer Magic, he is confident in facing anyone and even believes he can take on the Black Dragon Acnologia one-on-one.

"Selene, Lord Auguste said the enemy is very strong; let's work together to take them down!"

At this moment, one of the six men, dressed in a suit and looking very gentlemanly, reminded Selene.

Upon hearing August's name, Selene's face showed a hint of apprehension, then he burst into laughter:

"Of course I know, then I'll make the first move—the Cave Dragon's Earth-Shattering Strike, the Infernal Dragon's Scorching Hell, the Sea King Dragon's Water Array, the Storm Dragon's Whispering Wind and Moon, the Vajra Dragon's Shattered Fortress, and the Shining Dragon's Radiant Stone Realm."

Before his five companions could make a move, Selene channeled her magic and unleashed her eight strongest dragon-slaying spells in succession.
