Chapter 265 The Guardians
The castle advanced step by step,
Large dog, stag, wolf, hare, mouse, bison
Various luminous spirits fluttered in the air, radiating a peaceful and serene magic.
The dark shadows gathered in the mountain hollow ahead, and scattered like startled mosquitoes as the guardians approached.
"Don't stray too far! There are so many of them!" Moody commanded his Bison Guardians, which charged through the air, forcing away any Twins that tried to get close.
However, their numbers were greater than when they were discovered, and even with so many physical guardians, they could only be forced to retreat temporarily, rather than flee in panic.
McGonagall and Lily also flew out of the castle on broomsticks to help. Dozens of elite wizards worked together, illuminating almost the entire castle with pure white light.
The biphasic monsters had no choice but to retreat far away, but they didn't leave completely. They still peered out from the hollows and shadows in the mountains, like gloomy rags. Just one glance at them made one feel pleasure slip away.
"Did you hear a flute?" Lupin asked.
"Very subtle, like mosquitoes and flies, but they are endless, and it's impossible to determine their direction or source." Moody's demonic eyes shone eerily.
It's like it's running at full power.
But no matter how hard the wizards tried, even with James and his companions using the most ingenious tracking spells, they couldn't find the piper's location.
"He was well-prepared, knowing that he would be the most obvious weakness, so he hid it very well!" Kingsley said calmly.
Sirius transformed into his black dog form, sniffing the air unwillingly, but it was clear that the other party would not leave a scent.
"James, Sirius, you two can leave the group. Remember to be ready to transform into your animal forms at any time. If there is any danger, send a signal. We can see you from any distance on Hogwarts," Moody instructed.
The two nodded, mounted their brooms, and flew towards the direction where the two-faced monsters were gathered.
"Don't let your guard down, everyone else! There might be some lone ones sneaking out from the shadows! We can't let them get close to the school!" he shouted with a booming voice, as fierce as a wild bull, just like his guardian spirit.
Hermione and her friends were also perched on the iron fence, watching the adults' actions from a distance. Besides them, many students were also there to watch the spectacle.
"Protect the Gods!" She pointed forward, releasing a cloud of bright, silvery-white steam.
"It's still no good, it doesn't even have a specific image." The little witch was unusually distressed.
While learning other spells is quite fast, it seems that there is no further progress in the Guardian Charm after getting the basics down.
Harry also released a cloud of steam, but it was clear that within this silvery mist, one could vaguely make out an animal that looked like a deer.
"Maybe I'll be like my father, with a stag as my Patronus." He was unusually proud, as this was the only spell Hermione possessed besides broomstick flying that wasn't overwhelmingly powerful.
"Try to recall happy memories, like when my family celebrated Christmas," he said, pretending to instruct Hermione, a rare opportunity indeed.
The witch rolled her eyes at him. Of course she knew all this knowledge and had done it as well as possible.
But whether it was because her memories weren't happy enough, or because of the aftereffects of the fusion of two souls, her guardian spirit was unable to take on a concrete form for a long time.
"Am I not happy enough?" she asked herself.
The original little girl was indeed not happy. Her childhood was like that of all children in the wasteland. At most, her parents were more educated, which made her suffer less from illness.
As for the part of the Finger Witch, the distorted world rules after the Ring of Law was shattered, the long and arduous war of destruction, the arduous training of the Finger Witch, and the long wait for the Faded Ones don't seem to be exactly happy.
The memory she remembered most clearly, the one that brought her warmth, was actually sitting in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, enjoying the most sumptuous dinner.
But that might not be enough, not enough to materialize the guardian spirit.
"It's okay, the test won't be until fourth grade anyway, we don't need it now," Ron said casually. His Patronus was even worse than Neville's, like an unboiled teapot, only emitting a little white smoke intermittently.
"Besides, your spirit fire should be more powerful against these monsters that are clearly like wraiths, right?" Neville guessed.
The prototype of the Gemini is the Dementor. Legend has it that the origin of the Dementor comes from the former prison of a dark wizard in Azkaban who enjoyed torturing Muggles. It was originally the dark wizard's castle, and every wall inside was filled with torment and pain. He lured and killed countless Muggle sailors. The Dementor seems to have a very strong attachment to these buildings and will attack anyone who tries to destroy them.
Although they are not souls, they are born from pain and sorrow, have no physical body, and are composed almost entirely of spirit. Therefore, they can also be burned by spiritual fire.
Unlike souls, which are cleanly burned by spirit fire and go to the other side, bisexuals burned by spirit fire seem to have nothing left. All the components that make them up are burned away by the spirit fire as ashes.
"You're right." Hermione flickered a small ball of spirit fire at her fingertips and aimed at a two-part monster several hundred meters away that was trying to slip past the Patronus's blockade.
"l!"
The streak of fire that flashed by instantly ignited it like a white line, and as if it had encountered some flammable substance, it was completely burned to ashes before it could even utter a sound.
However, the Death Magic school also requires faith. She is not a professional Death Wizard, nor does she want to be like Voldemort, who devoted himself to the study of death. Her control over spirit fire is limited, and she cannot use various powerful death spells.
However, at its current level, it's enough to at least protect itself with spirit fire, which is enough to keep the biphasic monsters away.
"However, the Patronus Charm isn't just for dealing with bipolar monsters; it's also remarkably effective in communication and dispelling other dark magic, so we can't give up on it!"
Thanks to everyone's efforts, Hogwarts passed through the area safely. Although the biphasics were driven away, just as Moody had predicted, they still lingered behind the castle, following it from a distance.
James and Sirius returned empty-handed, finding no suspicious traces.
"The sound of the flute is gently lingering in our ears, but we can't find its source at all!" Sirius Black, transforming back into human form from his black dog form, downed a bottle of anti-radiation potion.
The external radiation here is very high. It's best to drink a bottle after you come back from a trip outside, just to be safe.
"Damn pure-blood nobles, you cherish your powerful methods, and you use them against your own wizards!" James cursed. Lily nudged him lightly with her elbow, after all, Barty was still there, and they didn't want things to get too ugly.
