Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

The first is a kind of magic similar to out-of-body experience that allows the soul to temporarily leave the body. The soul that leaves the body cannot be seen by anyone, and the body that temporarily loses the support of the soul can continue to remain alive for a period of time, enough for the soul to return.

The second is that it can fix all organs of the body, including the heart and brain, with a barrier similar to the Iron Armor Curse, making it impossible to move, and unable to detect breathing and heartbeat for a short period of time, making it look like a suspended death. And because of the protection of the barrier, even if one loses consciousness and falls, the body will not receive any damage.

If the first magic can make the soul-stripping effect of Avada Kedavra ineffective, but cannot resist the damage caused by Avada Kedavra to the body, then the second magic just solves this problem. The combined effects of these two magics can completely resist all the effects of Avada Kedavra on the human body.

I have to say, it seems like it was specially prepared for my current situation.

However, in Percival's time, there was no way to give an accurate analysis of the working principle of the Killing Curse from a pathological perspective. Even if they discovered that active soul separation could resist the soul-stripping effect of the Avada Kedavra, they were helpless against the damage caused by the Avada Kedavra to the body. Of course, they could not discover that the combination of these two magics could just resist the Avada Kedavra.

So based on the effects, the purpose of these two spells back then was probably... pranks?

No wonder these two things were not passed down.

It is difficult to guess the mental state of the people who invented these two magic tricks, and it is also difficult to understand the mentality of Percival and others who wrote them into this book.

Happy and that's it.

But as expected, these two magics also have significant negative effects on the human body.

When the soul leaves the body, most of the magic power in the human body will be unable to remain in the body and will dissipate into the outside world, causing the human body to be in a state of extreme lack of magic power after the soul returns to the body. This cannot be cured and can only be recovered slowly.

Although the other magic can protect the human body from harm, stopping breathing and heartbeat means that blood and oxygen cannot be transported. Although the body will not suffer irreversible damage under the protection of magic, it is inevitable that it will cause physical fatigue and poor mental state.

However, compared with the complete death effect caused by the Avada Kedavra curse, this side effect seems insignificant.

After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. It is relatively easy to make a choice between pain and death.

Ethan made up his mind, and after using magic to protect his body, he decisively and proactively extracted his soul from his body.

Ethan's soul floating in the air watched his body being hit by the green light. After flying to a distance and falling to the ground, he controlled his soul and entered his body again.

Cold and painful.

This was the first feeling Ethan had after returning to his body.

There is darkness in front of your eyes because your body is imprisoned and the images produced by your eyes cannot be transmitted back to your brain.

He released the magic that imprisoned his body and slowly regained control of it.

This time took much longer than he expected. Gradually, he could sense some information from the outside world, but he was still unable to respond to it.

Before his heart began to beat again, he could feel his body was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave due to lack of blood circulation.

He heard someone crying, and the heart-wrenching cry was very familiar to him.

It's Alanna.

It seems that I really made her worried.

His heart was beating strongly again, and slowly, he could make his fingertips tremble slightly, and slowly, a vague light appeared in front of his eyes.

The physical fatigue and mental discomfort could not be eliminated, but he was finally able to control his body and sit up.

Alanna was standing right in front of him, breathing slightly, and from his angle he could see the traces of tears on her face.

Not far in front of her was Neil, who was struggling to stand up. He roared, picked up his wand and drew a trajectory that Ethan was very familiar with.

"not good!"

Ethan quickly picked up the magic wand at hand and pointed it at Neil who was about to release Avada Kedavra.

"Except your weapons!"

The author's thoughts:

Harry Potter is not a martial arts or immortality novel after all, and the combat performance is extremely imprecise. Take Avada Kedavra for example, it is clear that a shield made of iron sheet can block it, but if this iron sheet is made into armor and worn on the body, it will die on the spot.

So after pondering for a while, the author thought that instead of repairing the dilapidated house, it would be better to build a new house on a new foundation. After all, it is a fan work, so just treat it as a similar but different parallel universe (second creation is the best!).

For those friends who are not satisfied with this explanation, please refer to the last sentence of the introduction of this book.

Oh yes, one more thing.

Regarding the question raised by a reader about whether the protagonist should transform into a Kamen Rider.

This involves the issue of Kamen Rider's transformer always not transforming and starting to fight monsters in his physical form because the opponent's combat power is too low. Can this situation still be considered a problem of Kamen Rider (funny).

Chapter 67: Two Giant Monsters Attack Hogsmeade

Ethan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and he frowned and stared in the direction where the sound came from.

A huge monster about four meters tall appeared at the corner of the street, holding a thick wooden stick in its hand. It rushed towards Ethan and the others with clumsy steps and roars.

"It's a troll!" Alanna exclaimed.

The giant monster is a magical animal with amazing strength but extremely low intelligence. It is usually about three to four meters tall and weighs more than one ton. It is also very irritable and often destroys everything in front of it for no reason.

Generally speaking, trolls have different appearances depending on their habitats, and are roughly divided into mountain trolls, forest trolls, and river trolls. Judging from the dull gray skin and size of this troll, it should be the largest and most dangerous mountain troll.

The mountain monster ran while waving the wooden stick in his hand, and his flat feet crushed the stone floor wherever he went.

"Powerful blast!"

A spell exploded in the troll's face, causing the troll to stop in pain, covering his face with his hands and wailing.

"Keep him away from the house, lead him outside of Hogsmeade!"

The female Auror called out to her companions, one of them Apparated away with the unconscious Neil and Abby, while the other rushed behind the troll, casting one spell after another to attract the troll's attention.

"Hurry up and go to the center of Hogsmeade, it's safer there!" The female Auror warned Ethan and the others, then turned around and joined the battle, leading the troll out of the village with her companions.

"Let's go!" Ethan held Alana's hand with one hand and picked up the handbag that Alana had thrown on the ground with the other hand, and ran towards the center of the village as fast as possible.

"Huh——, Huh——"

Ethan supported himself on his knees, breathing heavily in the middle of the deserted street, his body heaving violently.

He had not yet recovered from the negative state caused by resisting the Killing Curse, and now he had done such strenuous exercise, his body really couldn't take it.

If my condition was better, running this short distance wouldn't be a problem at all, and I could even carry Alanna on my back.

I can only say that today was really unlucky.

Alanna patted Ethan's back gently, helped him breathe, and asked with concern: "Are you okay, Ethan?"

"I'm fine, just a little out of breath. Let me relax for a while and I'll be fine." Ethan waved his hand, signaling Alana not to worry. He reached into his pocket and took out a bottle of invigorating potion, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in one gulp.

The discomfort caused by running at high speed dissipated instantly, but the previous feeling of fatigue still persisted.

It seems that just as Professor Snape said, some injuries cannot be cured by potions.

This can only be recovered slowly by oneself.

"But why would a troll appear in Hogsmeade?" Ethan straightened up, put his hand on his chin, frowned and thought.

Even though Mrs. Wayne's shop was close to the edge of the village, the troll habitat outside Hogsmeade was not close enough for the trolls to accidentally enter the village.

After all, the intelligence of the trolls is extremely low, which should not be enough to support them to leave their habitats alone and travel such a long distance.

Unless someone is guiding or manipulating them.

And when he was escaping just now, Ethan saw a metal collar around the troll's neck, which was flashing a strange red light.

The feeling it gave him was exactly the same as the light he had seen on the armband of the goblin guard at Gringotts: dim and uncomfortable.

It shouldn't be something that looks similar but is completely different, nor is it my own illusion.

"Ethan, listen." Alanna said suddenly while staring in a certain direction.

"What are you listening to?" Ethan was a little confused and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movements around him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a faint dull sound coming from the distance, which sounded like something being destroyed. Ethan saw a cloud of smoke rising above the houses in the village and moving towards them from far away, and he had an even more ominous premonition in his heart.

"Alanna, let's run!"

Boom! !

A house in front of them was smashed, and another giant monster appeared in front of them with a roar.

Fortunately, we could see that all the residents of Hogsmeade had already taken refuge in safe areas, otherwise the troll would have caused considerable casualties along the way.

Unlike the naked mountain giant monster without any protective measures, this giant monster had some kind of metal defensive armor on its neck, chest, calves, shoulders, and wrists. It was flashing an inexplicable red light, and its eyes were also filled with ominous red light. The wooden stick in its hand was even inlaid with several metal rivets.

The troll stared at Ethan with its red eyes, roared, and rushed towards Ethan.

"Everyone fly away!"

Ethan first released a spell to blew Alanna away, then he rolled his body to the other side for a long distance and avoided the troll's attack. The troll had no time to brake and crashed into the stone wall across the street, splashing a cloud of gravel and dust.

"Ethan, are you okay?" Alana's voice came from the other side of the troll.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Ethan replied loudly, watching the troll break free from the stone wall and stare at him again, ready to launch the next charge, and shouted again, "It's coming for me, get out of here!"

The troll approached Ethan with an agility that was not in line with its bulky body, waving the mace in its hand and smashing it heavily on Ethan's head.

"Armor protection!"

The stick stopped steadily about ten centimeters above Ethan's head. The giant monster roared and tried to push the weapon down further, but it was difficult to move it at all.

Ethan frowned. The troll was so close to him that he could even smell the disgusting stench emanating from its body.

Not to mention that he now had to take deep breaths to slow down because of the side roll he just had, which made it even harder to bear.

Ethan gritted his teeth, used his wand to control the barrier above his head and pushed it upwards, deflecting the troll's club.

Ethan watched the troll fall heavily to the ground due to unstable center of gravity. He felt relieved and took two steps back, covering his chest and gasping violently.

This was just too much of a coincidence. Why did it happen at this time? He was still struggling to recover from the negative effects of the Killing Curse, and then a giant monster appeared and attacked him, not to mention the strange red light flashing on the giant monster's body.

However, in this way, the previous speculation about the goblin guard has basically turned from doubt to confirmation, and it is definitely involved.

"Ice freeze!"

A blue light shot towards the stone floor under the feet of the troll who had just climbed up. The resulting ice layer froze the troll's thick legs, causing the troll to lose balance and fall to the ground again.

Alanna ran to Ethan's side and held his arm, her eyes full of concern: "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why did you come back?" Ethan asked, covering his chest, half blaming and half concerned.

"Don't be silly. How could I abandon you?" Alanna glanced at Ethan in a reproachful manner. "Not to mention that you are in a very bad condition right now. If I don't come to help you, you won't be able to handle it on your own."

Ethan was stunned for a moment, and felt a warm current flowing into his heart. He smiled self-deprecatingly, and watched Alanna cast another spell at the troll.

"Split into pieces!"

Three parallel crescent-shaped magic light blades hit the wrist of the troll holding the mace, but they disappeared just as they touched the troll's metal wrist armor.

"Huh?" Alanna opened her mouth slightly, blinked, and looked stunned.

Chapter 68: Final Battle! Giant Monster vs. Ethan

"Huh?" Alanna's little face was filled with confusion.

She had originally expected that this spell would at least leave a few marks on the surface of the armor, but now they disappeared directly.

It's impossible not to feel puzzled.

Ethan frowned deeply. He saw it very clearly just now. The moment the light blades touched the metal, the originally dim red light on the metal flashed strongly for a moment, and then the light blades disappeared.

Whatever the reason, it appears that this layer of metal may have the effect of removing certain spells.

Ethan looked at the giant monster that was immune to magic, thought for a moment, and then came up with a general plan.

"Alanna, can you see anything on the armor on the troll?" Ethan pointed at the troll who was still lying on the ground and struggling to get out of the ice, and asked Alanna tentatively.

"What is that?" Alanna looked at the armor on the giant monster and narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Isn't it just a layer of ordinary silver armor?"

Well, it seems that Alanna can’t see it either. It should be something related to ancient magic that only I can see.

"It's nothing. Maybe I'm dazzled." Ethan shook his head and tried to cast a spell at the troll.

"The flames are blazing!"

The red fire line shot onto the giant's thigh which was not covered by armor, and a red light flashed on the armor on its calf, and then the fire line suddenly disappeared.

"I see. All-round defense?"

Ethan's brows furrowed even tighter.

If you are immune to spells, it will be extremely difficult to defeat this armored giant.

But there is a question, why did the ice freeze used by Alanna just now cause effective control? There must be something different...

Could it be...
