Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"Cassandra!" Ethan turned his head to look at Cassandra on the other side of the barrier and shouted loudly.

"Bombarda maxima!"

Cassandra received the signal and immediately turned around and fiercely swung her wand at the seven Fire Snakes behind her. Without any mercy, the magic power in her body turned into the most powerful curse and poured out.

BOOM!

A huge explosion erupted from the center of the crowd, and the resulting air wave blew away all the Fire Snake Party members present.

"You...you're playing me?" Rozier's face twisted. The situation reversed in an instant. Ethan's escape made him lose complete control of the situation. He began to get anxious.

This is impossible, how did he break free? Even if he can cast spells without a wand, ordinary magic should be useless!

"Yes, I am playing you. And to be precise, it's not me, but us who are playing you."

Ethan waved his wand and shattered the barrier lightly. He walked a few steps to the side and stood beside Cassandra. Together with her, he pointed his wand at Rosier and taunted, "How is it? Are you surprised? Are you happy?"

"You guys?" Rosier's pupils shrank, and he looked at Cassandra in disbelief, and asked, "You... knew it a long time ago?"

"That's right." Cassandra nodded proudly, "I knew from the beginning that Ethan surrendered on purpose."

"Didn't you notice? When Ethan put away his wand and prepared to fight you, he put it into the sleeve of his left arm, but when he surrendered, he threw the wand out from the sleeve of his right hand. I began to suspect that Ethan must have a backup plan."

"As expected of Miss Cassandra, you have sharp observation skills." Ethan's smile became brighter and brighter, and he and Cassandra began to brag about their business. "It is my great honor to be a teammate with a smart person like you."

No matter when, it is never a bad thing to have a teammate who understands you.

Chapter 136 I am the coming storm

"But I was not sure at the time, for fear that I had seen it wrong or mixed up my memory. But when I supported Ethan, I clearly felt the hard stick hidden in his sleeve. At that time, I was sure that Ethan was pretending to surrender, and I had to find a way to cooperate with him."

Cassandra gave him a mocking smile and continued, "So I held onto him all the way, trying to block your view with my body, so that you wouldn't notice anything strange in his sleeves and become suspicious. After all, a wand is made of wood, and it's not as soft as a human arm, so sometimes it's quite noticeable."

"Thank you very much for your help, Miss Cassandra." Ethan nodded. "To be honest, I was quite nervous when I felt the wand in my sleeve was about to pierce through my cuff. It was only thanks to your cover that I was able to get through it."

At first he did not realize that Cassandra had noticed this detail, but when Cassandra supported his arm in the cave, her fingers pinched the soft flesh where her arm and the wand touched. At that time, he realized that he was not fighting alone, and there were still people standing on the same front with him.

By the way, she pinched herself just to remind herself, and it didn't involve any personal grudges... right?

As for the wand that Rosier broke off... well, Transfiguration is really useful!

"That's enough!" Rozier yelled in frustration, "Who do you think I am? How dare you tease me like this!"

"You? You're nothing but a clown." Ethan sighed and pointed his wand at Rozier to persuade him to surrender. "We've already defeated all your accomplices. No one can help you anymore. If you know what's good for you, just surrender. I can give you a decent death."

First use courtesy, then force. Although he didn't think Rozier would surrender obediently, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.

After all, he didn't want to be criticized.

"Don't speak too soon. Even if you managed to escape my restraints, you still can't do anything to me with your methods." Rozier's eyes lit up with a strange red light, and his face was ferocious. "Besides, who told you that I have no one to help me?"

A black smoke emerged from Rosier's body and dispersed into seven balls in the air, covering the bodies of the seven Fire Snake Party members lying unconscious on the ground.

The black smoke was slowly absorbed by their bodies, and the seven men stood up shakily, their eyes flashing the same red light as Rozier's, and they let out painful wails.

"See? They are not just my subordinates who do odd jobs for me. They can also be used as powerful fighting forces at critical moments!" Rozier laughed wildly and gave orders to the group of puppets under his control, "Go ahead, kill them!"

The red light in the eyes of the puppets that received the order became even brighter, and they stumbled towards Ethan and Cassandra, like zombies in the Resident Evil that sensed human movements, and kept making meaningless whimpering sounds from their mouths.

"Thunder Explosion!" Cassandra immediately fired an explosion spell at the group of zombies who had lost their self-consciousness. The fireball containing hot energy bounced off one of them, immediately causing a violent explosion.

However, neither the high temperature of the fireball nor the impact of the explosion caused the damage to it. The zombie was just stunned for a moment, and then began to rush towards Cassandra while roaring.

"It's useless. Just like me, ordinary magic has no effect on them at all." Rosier smiled smugly, "You are the ones who should surrender obediently!"

"Cassandra," Ethan glanced at the helpless Cassandra and suddenly said, "Do you remember when we were outside before, you asked me to explain my special abilities, right?"

"Ethan? What are you talking about at this time..." Cassandra was stunned for a moment, then immediately figured out something and looked at Ethan in disbelief, "Could it be that you..."

"Be careful to protect yourself." Ethan smiled lightly, and without answering Cassandra's question, he said, "Please watch carefully, the next step is my highlight moment."

Ethan placed the wand flat in front of him, and with a "piu" sound, a silver-white ancient magic energy burst out from the tip of the wand and condensed into a silver light beam more than half a meter long and as thick as a thumb at the tip of the wand.

The magic wand with energy beam was waved deftly in Ethan's hand like a sword. The energy beam produced afterimages that were blinding enough to make people's eyes dazzled when waved at high speed, and made a buzzing sound.

"Ow!"

The living dead that had been angered by Cassandra's spell had already rushed in front of them, letting out a shrill roar. Thick black smoke emanated from the pores of its upper body, wrapping its body like armor, and began to expand continuously, eventually transforming from a human into a dark demon-like creature.

Looking at the enemy right in front of him, Ethan quickly thrust forward the magic wand with energy beam. The silver-white beam of light pierced through the demonized enemy with a crackling sound, revealing the bloody flesh under the dark appearance.

Ethan immediately pulled back his wand, and then slashed it horizontally again. The ghost was cut in half, fell to the ground in two, and turned into black fragments and dissipated.

Looking at the remaining zombies, Ethan sighed, put the wand with the energy beam back to his waist like a knife, leaned forward slightly, and slowly uttered a steady voice full of magic:

"Eliminate...all!"

From this moment on, Cassandra could no longer catch sight of Ethan's figure with her eyes. She could only see a silver stream of light rushing from Ethan's position towards the zombies. Wherever the enemies went, their limbs flew across the sky as if they were cut into seventeen pieces.

In less than three seconds, the remaining six enemies turned into debris that dissipated into the air. The silver stream of light stopped beside Cassandra and turned into Ethan's figure. A long smoke-like silver afterimage slowly dissipated behind him, reminding those who were slow to realize the trajectory of his actions.

"How... is this possible? No, it can't be. How could things turn out like this?"

Rozier saw that Ethan easily dealt with his greatest reliance as if he was playing a game while chatting and laughing. His lips, which were already pale, turned even paler. He suddenly remembered that the adult had said these words to him before.

[Although ordinary people can't do anything to you now, you still have to be careful. As far as I know, there is a student in Hogwarts School who has power several times stronger than you. Even I may not be able to defeat him.]

[The student’s name is…]

Chapter 137 My King's Power!

[The student’s name is…]

At that time, I was still immersed in the joy of having just gained power, and didn't pay attention to the adult's instructions. But now it seems that what the adult said should be...

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? How could that person happen to be you?" Rozier looked ashen, shaking his head and shouting unwillingly, "Since your power is greater than mine, couldn't you have just killed me when I held her hostage before? Why did you pretend to surrender? Are you bored?"

"Good question, Master Rosier. The reason why I pretended to surrender is very simple: to get information." Ethan shook his wand, extinguished the energy beam on it, and said to Rosier slowly, "I know too little about you guys. The reason why I pretended to surrender was to get information about your organization and your next action plan from you. Sure enough, you were so proud that you didn't care and told me all the secrets. At this point, do you still think you can get away with it?"

When Rosier held Cassandra hostage, the first thought that popped into Ethan's mind was to blow this ignorant psychopath to pieces so that he would never be able to harm the world again.

As he said before, he was not afraid of Rozier's intimidation, because he was absolutely confident that he could save Cassandra intact before Rozier made a move. When you are strong enough, any intimidation that overestimates your own abilities will be nothing more than a joke in your eyes.

But when he heard the word "hostage" from Cassandra's mouth, he immediately had another idea.

He knew too little about this group of people. The enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. Although he was strong enough to make bricks fly, he was still a little uneasy to run around like a headless fly. And now, it seemed like an opportunity to get information from them. Time was running out, and he had to consider whether this would be his only chance in his life.

This is the fact. Compared with defeated prisoners, people who have just won a battle can more easily extract intelligence because they are less vigilant. Not to mention Rozier, who will get carried away as soon as he has an advantage.

Although I suffered some minor injuries, I also got a detailed plan of their next course of action. This is more than just a profit, it is a huge profit!

Not to mention that his injury was barely a scratch. Rosier's beating was not even as strong as the Whomping Willow next to Hagrid's hut. It was really too weak.

"Just to get information? I don't think so." Rozier raised his head and stared at Ethan with a resentful look. "If I were serious, it's hard to say who would win."

A blazing red light radiated from Rosier's body, illuminating the entire underground cave redly, and he himself instantly turned into a black smoke oozing with red light. The black smoke in the air was like an indescribable tentacle, constantly squirming and interweaving and changing shape. Finally, the smoke condensed into a distorted human face, which looked exactly like Rosier.

A huge black face that was more than a meter tall opened its mouth at Ethan, let out a silent roar, and rushed towards Ethan in mid-air at an extremely fast speed.

"Go for broke, huh?" Ethan raised the corner of his mouth and took a fighting stance, "Then I will fulfill your wish."

Just as Ethan was preparing his skills to completely destroy Rozier, the face that rushed in front of him suddenly exploded. The scattered black smoke quickly gathered on Cassandra, wrapped her up, and took her away from Ethan.

The black smoke engulfed Cassandra, rushed through three metal doors, and landed inside the square hall. The black smoke gradually became thinner, revealing Cassandra inside, and Rosier who once again held her hostage.

"What's going on? Why is there nothing here?" Rosier grabbed Cassandra's neck and looked around in panic at the empty square hall except for a few suits of armor. He was stunned again.

He originally planned to bluff to attract Ethan's attention, and then make a feint to the east and attack to get the ancient secret treasure before Ethan, so as to enhance his own strength and defeat Ethan steadily. And for insurance, he also held Cassandra hostage, in case he still couldn't beat Ethan after improving his strength, and then he could use her as a bargaining chip to have a chance to retreat.

But it seems that there is nothing here that he wants.

"It seems someone's wishful thinking has failed." Ethan leaned against the door frame of the metal door, and calmly looked at Rosier who was standing in the middle of the square hall and breaking his defense again. "I have to say that you always give me enough surprises, Master Rosier. But it's boring to watch the same drama too much. If you let her go now and surrender obediently, I can still leave you a whole body."

"Don't come over here!" Rosier turned around, trembling as he pretended to be calm. "Now Miss Volley is in my hands again. I advise you not to act rashly. Just let me go and I will release her when the time comes."

"I've said before that I hate being coerced. You've repeatedly touched my bottom line. How can I repay you?" Ethan slowly walked towards Rozier, the murderous intent in his eyes stronger than ever before. "And you can try and see if you can act faster or I can get there first."

"You!" Rosier looked at Ethan who was not moved at all, and he was filled with anger. He made up his mind and condensed a red blade of light in his right hand and stabbed it towards Cassandra.

Since threats are no longer effective, the worst that can happen is that both sides will perish. If I die, she will never be able to survive!

"Don't even think about succeeding!" Ethan roared, and the silver-white energy instantly gathered in his palm, condensing into a circular saw blade and throwing it towards Rozier.

The thrown light blade spun in the air and rushed forward rapidly, and in an instant it hit Rozier's wrist holding the light blade, and easily cut off Rozier's right hand like a hot knife cutting butter.

"Uhhhhhh!"

Rosier let go of Cassandra in pain, knelt on the ground, holding his bleeding wrist and wailing.

Ethan turned into a stream of silver light again, ran over, picked up Cassandra from Rosier, and then retreated back to the door.

"I'm sorry," Ethan put Cassandra down gently, feeling a little guilty, "There shouldn't have been so many problems. I was careless just now."

Chapter 138 I’m so excited, there are savages!

"I kill you!"

With tears in Rozier's eyes, he opened his only remaining left hand towards Ethan. A blood-red lightning continuously shot out from his palm and attacked Ethan.

"It's no use!"

Ethan also opened his left hand towards Rozier, and silver-white lightning shot out from the palm of his hand, intercepting the incoming red lightning halfway.

"I think you and I both know that there are many ways to torture a person and make him live a life worse than death, Master Rozier. I must admit that just taking your life will not satisfy me." Ethan said lightly, as calmly as if he was discussing what to eat tonight, and he didn't take the matter in front of him seriously at all.

Rozier instinctively wanted to refute, but he had no room to speak. At this moment, he could only grit his teeth and try his best to barely resist Ethan's attack. He had no extra energy to speak.

"But let's end this farce quickly. Unlike you, I have other things to do." Ethan said, and the lightning he released became a little thicker. The originally evenly matched wave of lightning instantly became a one-sided situation. The junction of silver and red quickly pushed towards Rozier and knocked him into the air.

Ethan stopped the lightning in his left hand, and then stretched out his left hand and gently clenched it. A silver-white light spread out from the center of his palm to both sides, gradually turning into a sharp light spear about one meter long.

The spear of light was clearly just an amorphous object made of energy, but it seemed to be spinning like a drill.

Ethan held the spear and made a few spear flowers like dancing. Then he put the spear behind his back and gently pushed it forward from his armpits. The spear left his palm and stabbed straight towards Rozier.

"Spiral spear!"

Rozier was knocked into the air and before he fell to the ground, the spear of light accurately pierced his heart. His falling body was lifted up again and carried by the spear of light to the wall facing the gate, where he was nailed to it.

The spear of light turned into invisible white light and dissipated. Rozier, who lost his support, fell to the ground. He struggled to crawl towards Ethan, cursing something indistinctly, and dark red blood flowed from his chest, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground behind him. But the light in his eyes gradually faded, and the hand that struggled to reach out to Ethan finally fell down powerlessly.

he died.

"May death bring the peace your pathetic and twisted soul longs for." A trace of sadness flashed across Ethan's eyes. In the end, he just sighed and gently waved his left hand downward at Rozier's body. "Rest in peace, Rozier."

A soft light flew out from the palm of his hand and sank into Rosier's body. His body instantly turned into fragments and gradually dissipated in the air, like a vampire exposed to sunlight, as if it had never existed in this world.

This is the safest way. His body is an excellent research material for some dark wizards. Although it is not certain that anyone can enter here, it is better to handle it properly for safety reasons.

(Are you right, Tobirama Senju?)

After dealing with Rozier's funeral, Ethan felt relieved, as if he had solved an old unresolved case.

The enemy was completely wiped out, and although no one was left alive, at least there was no need to worry about anyone tipping off the enemy.

He let out a long breath, turned around silently, and waved his hand in front of Cassandra, who had remained silent, "Are you okay?"

Cassandra seemed to have just come to her senses. She blinked and stepped back a distance from Ethan. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she looked straight at Ethan.

"Are you okay?" Ethan was a little frightened by Cassandra's gaze and asked again worriedly.

It's over, this little girl must be angry. Look at her face, it's so red, she must be angry.

Is she going to give me a slap in the face next?

"I...it's okay."

Cassandra turned her head and muttered quietly.

"You're not angry?" Ethan raised his eyebrows, sensing something slightly unusual.

"Why should I be angry?" Cassandra seemed to have been strongly insulted. She instantly got angry and glared at Ethan with her hands on her hips, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Well, for example, he was held hostage and his life was threatened, but I was indifferent and asked him to act quickly... something like that?" Ethan scratched his ear, a little confused about the girl in front of him. "After all, you are still a girl. It's normal for you to be a little dazed after being stimulated to that extent just now."

If you're not angry, why are you blushing?

"I'm not an unreasonable child. I know you said that to save me." Cassandra frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with Ethan's misunderstanding of her. "The more you show concern for me in that situation, the smaller the chance of my being saved, isn't it?"

"Nice inference." Ethan nodded, a little surprised at the girl's excessive understanding. "But aren't you afraid that I really don't care about you at all?"

"Don't be afraid. After all, we both fought together, so I still have some trust in you." Cassandra raised her head slightly, with a look of pride as if she had seen through everything. "In fact, you didn't just ignore me, did you? Whether it was your surrender at the beginning or your decisive attack the second time, although your motives were a bit impure, your actions saved me from danger in time."
