I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Chapter 224 Underwater Changes and Human Power Division of the Lake

John actually didn't quite understand the second game, as it wasn't like the first game which he could watch live.

A group of people looked at the dark lake and couldn't see anything, which made them look stupid. The wizard's thinking process was different.

John saw several students, as if they were watching a live broadcast, frantically thinking about how to find someone in the water.

If you don’t know, you might think he went down to rescue someone.

The lively atmosphere gradually died down, and John could only say that the game was extremely unwatchable.

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly a bubble appeared on the water surface.

It was only a small one, but John had sharp eyes and saw it immediately.

"Someone's coming out."

As soon as he finished speaking, others also noticed it.

They were extremely excited and wanted to see who would be the first to succeed.

Students from the three schools were eagerly waiting, hoping that it was from their own school, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

A head emerged from the water, with silver hair spreading out in the water. The girl's beautiful face had turned much paler after being soaked in the water for too long, truly like a lotus emerging from the water.

It was Fleur Delacour.

Furong looked bad, she swam towards the shore, but there was no one to rescue her.

"Something attacked me in the water and it popped my blister."

After Fleur came ashore, her body tilted and she almost fell. John noticed the scratches on Fleur's body, as if something was pulling her.

Cough loudly and spit out the water that has entered your nasal cavity.

Fleur's eyes turned red from coughing. A Beauxbatons student quickly stepped forward and took out a towel to cover her. John took off his wizard robe to cover her.

Furong, who was wearing a wizard robe, had tears in her eyes. She grabbed John's hand and said anxiously, "Gabrielle, she is still there. The mermaid attacked me."

John's face darkened and he looked up at Dumbledore.

When Dumbledore heard Fleur's words, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He has communicated with the creatures in the Black Lake and they will not help the warriors, but they will not attack the warriors either.

"The bubble-tearing curse will cause the warrior to drown." John said in a deep voice, "It is intended to kill the warrior."

Hearing his words, the people around him gasped.

Especially the students, they didn't think that someone might die in this game.

Dumbledore knew the seriousness of the matter, and his voice became shrill. This was the mermaid language, and he was calling the mermaids.

But when he called, the mermaid did not appear.

Things were getting out of control. Dumbledore looked serious and consulted with several referees.

His intention was to stop the game and see what was going on.

But Karkaroff refused to do anything, Krum hadn't come out yet, and Beauxbatons had been eliminated.

In this stalemate, bubbles gurgled again at the bottom of the water.

A head popped out. It was Cedric. He rescued Qiu Zhang, but he didn't look good.

"The merpeople have gone mad, and the grindylows, too, are hunting the warriors in the water."

Cedric, with a head full of waterweed, said, "I hid in the waterweed and waited for the right moment to rescue him."

His words caused more anxiety among the students.

Cedric comes to John with even more terrible news.

"When I arrived, the merpeople seemed to want to kill the hostages."

...

Harry was pulled along by those hands. He tried to resist, but was dragged along.

When he was dragged out of the waterweed, he finally saw who it was.

They were grindylows, with weapons in their hands, four or five of them, trying to drown people in the water one by one.

Harry finally touched the wand, and he found the right opportunity to attack Grindylow.

I thought it would be difficult to deal with them, but these guys collapsed at the first touch.

Screaming and running away.

After being dragged for a while, he was finally freed.

Looking around, he discovered that this was a mermaid village.

In the middle of the square stands a crude statue of a giant mermaid with three people tied to its tail.

In addition to Ron, there were Hermione and an eight-year-old girl.

The silvery hair reminded Harry of the little girl in John's tent during the World Cup.

They all looked like they were fast asleep, with little bubbles coming out of their mouths.

Harry swam hard towards the hostages, but the mermen seemed unable to see him.

He stepped forward and tried to untie the rope.

But the rope was much harder to open than he thought, so he found a sharp stone on the ground and tried to cut the rope.

Just as he was about to cut it off, he saw the mermaids move.

A guy with a shark head swam over quickly, and the mermaids who had been motionless in front of Harry immediately chased after him with forks.

The shark was transformed by Krum. He was shocked and tried to dodge, but the mermaid would not let him go.

Krum lost the chance of rescue and was constantly driven away by the mermaid.

Harry finally broke the rope, and just as he was about to save others, he saw the mermaid looking at him fiercely.

He found something wrong. A mermaid actually picked up a fork and attacked the two people who had not been untied.

Harry hurried forward to stop them. The mermaid didn't attack him, but other mermaids came over and attacked the hostages.

"Krum."

He shouted anxiously, with bubbles gurgling from his mouth.

Krum also noticed something was wrong and rushed forward to push away the mermaid who was attacking Hermione.

A merman's spear sank into Krum's ankle, screaming in pain, and bit the merman's arm.

More mermen gathered around and Harry took out his wand and kept attacking.

...

An hour passed.

No third person came up.

Karkaroff still refused to give in. He firmly believed that Krum could complete the task.

John looks grim, and Cedric says the mermen might be prepared to kill the hostages at some point.

This is no joke, there is something wrong with this project today.

If Cedric hadn't been faster and smarter, perhaps he would have been eliminated like Fleur.

Fleur also heard what Cedric said, and she cried and asked Ms. Maxime to save Gabrielle.

But the referee had to remain fair, so unless Karkaroff let go, no one else could suspend the game.

John took a deep breath and since the referee wouldn't help, he decided to do it himself.

He asked in a deep voice: "Cedric, which direction?"

Cedric immediately pointed out the location of the mermaid village. John stood on the shore and grasped the void.

A silver sword emerged from his right hand.

"Get out of the way and give me a way."

He spoke, and Malfoy was the first to shout and drive away the people in front of him.

Everyone looked at John in confusion, and Dumbledore also stopped arguing.

John stepped his feet into the lake, closed his eyes slightly, and released his magic power into the water.

The ring on his right hand exudes endless magical power, which is injected into the Sword of Silver Wick.

Holding the Silver Wick sword high, John whispered strange syllables.

"Spirit of the Black Lake, show me the way. This sword cuts through all things in this world and drives out evil."

He spread out his left palm, and a ball of lake water the size of a fist fell into it. It did not disperse, but attached to the sword of Silverwick like slime, adding a transparent scabbard to Silverwick.

Ancient magic, he possesses the water element and can communicate with the Black Lake, and at the same time he has the permission of the Black Lake.

Blessed by the water of the Black Lake, John held the sword with both hands.

Karkaroff shouted to Dumbledore, "What is he going to do, Dumbledore? Is this what you mean?"

Ms. Maxime didn't know what John was going to do, and Fleur came to her and said, "The mermaid in the water is crazy, John has to save her."

"Save people?" Ms. Maxime was a little confused. Why was John standing on the shore?

There was a strange flash in Dumbledore's eyes. He also wanted to see how John would save people.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on John, he ended his chant.

His eyes opened and turned into dragon eyes, and a sense of oppression emanated from him.

His hair moved without wind, and his hands tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.

“Cut through all the obstacles!”

The self-created cutting spell was infused into the sword at this moment, runes floated out from the sword, and John swung the sword violently.

The sword cut through the lake.

Amid the horrified gazes of the crowd.

The lake water parted.

An invisible trace started from the sword and quickly spread towards the center of the lake.

The divided lake water split into two sides like jelly.

The speed was so fast that people saw the huge Black Lake being cut in half.

In the center of the lake, a mermaid village appeared.

This scene shocked everyone present and made them open their eyes wide.

The person standing in the lake is like the sea god descending to the lake, cutting the water apart and dividing the lake with human power.

...

Chapter 225 Search and Passive

In the mermaid village, the mermaids lost their footing and fell into the mud.

Krum, whose ankle was pierced, turned back into human form, his foot dripping with blood.

Harry was also stunned by everything.

After leaving the water, the spell cast on the three hostages was lifted and they woke up one after another.

"Oh my God, what's going on?" Ron watched all this in disbelief.

Gabrielle and Hermione spat out a mouthful of water, they were equally confused.

A powerful pressure descended, and the mermaids who were about to take action screamed and crawled towards the water walls on both sides.

"Gabrielle—"

Fleur screamed, Gabrielle looked up and saw the separated lake water like a cliff.
