Chapter 486 Shattering Light
"Each family has its own remarkable geniuses."
Although he kept saying he looked down on other magic schools, Grindelwald still praised them generously when it came to the actual competition.
"Of course, the most surprising one is the Potter boy." He looked at Hermione.
"I admit I misjudged; Krum will lose this round." After saying that, he glanced at the sky again, where Viktor and the Black Death were locked in a fierce battle.
No, it wasn't really a battle; it was more of a chase. Krum constantly harassed the black dragon with spells, preventing it from using its full speed and forcing it to circle around the nuclear crossbow bolts, which only fueled its rage.
Even the principals from other schools on the judges' panel had to agree with the Dark Lord's point of view at this moment.
Although they had a lot of confidence in their students, Harry's opening was just too amazing.
With absolute violence and combat prowess, they forcefully broke through the fire dragon's magic resistance, and even before everyone could react, they had already killed the first dragon.
The ones who cried the most were probably the underground wizards who ran the black market. Who would have thought that the least favored fourth-year students and the 10-year-old children would turn out to be the two biggest dark horses?
"He's very talented, I've always known that," Hermione said modestly, noticing that Professor McGonagall had unconsciously straightened her back and was barely suppressing a smile.
"It's not just talent." Grindelwald looked at the boy still confronting Fleur in the arena.
"Talent is important, but without proper training, it's just a rough gem in a stone. You've trained him very well; I can see that his fighting style is trying to get closer to yours."
Hermione hadn't realized this before, but after he said that, she immediately understood.
During their long adventures in the borderlands, both Hermione and Hilmy's teachings subconsciously influenced Harry's preferred fighting style, which indirectly affected him, especially in several crucial battles that Harry witnessed firsthand.
His love for battle and adventure naturally led him to follow her example, and he became more and more like her.
"But now is not the time to be dazed. Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, we should hurry up and find the dragon that's been hiding!" Mrs. Maxim said with a frown and some worry.
Compared to Harry's composure, Fleur is still at 0 points.
Even if Harry doesn't manage to snatch the dragon from someone else, he will undoubtedly still get the highest score. But if Fleur continues to delay, she will really end up with a zero.
Moreover, if a warrior were to be ambushed and take advantage of by a fire dragon in a battle between warriors, they would probably be nailed to the pillar of shame in the wizarding world for the rest of their lives.
Fortunately, the stalemate between the two did not last long. Amid the chaotic fighting around them, they were unable to have a proper conversation.
Talon ultimately couldn't bring himself to give Frostthroat Longnose another powerful electrocution. He flapped his wings and launched spells around the dragon in the swirling frost, but the effects were minimal; the spells didn't even reach the dragon's skin before being blown away by the wind and snow.
The stalemate between the fungal dragon and the self-devouring cursed rat continues, and it seems unlikely to end anytime soon.
As for the green mist in Kastrubushe, all that could be heard were the continuous sounds of battle and roars. No one knew how things were progressing, and no one dared to go in and take a look.
Suddenly, Harry and Fleur both started moving at the same time.
Instead of attacking each other, the two tacitly joined forces to attack an open space nearby.
Harry didn't use the flail; instead, he reached out and grabbed it, and the rammed earth immediately sank into a mud pit. It seemed that some enormous creature above it had lost its footing and immediately sank into it.
"It's a white lizard! The two warriors spotted it at the same time!" the commentator shouted.
At the same time, the decorative blue cape on Hibiscus's back transformed into a pair of wings, flapping as it propelled him forward at a rapid pace.
On the mud, a shimmering light appeared, and a magnificent, slender, and elegant fire dragon emerged.
Despite its exceptionally beautiful appearance, it is actually a mutation caused by radiation and pollution, and its temperament is equally volatile.
At that moment, its eyes were red, and it pulled its paws out of the mud pit, letting out a roar in the direction of Fleur and Harry.
Accompanying the powerful sound waves was a mesmerizing, translucent, iridescent light—a unique breath that could cause dizziness and had an effect comparable to a potent stun spell.
Neither of the two people who were directly hit chose to retreat or dodge.
Harry leaped into the air, transforming into a dazzling silver fiery stag. The powerful Patronus light radiated outwards, directly confronting the sonic waves that could cause immense mental damage, and charged through the air.
Hibiscus, on the other hand, took a simpler and more direct approach. She simply pulled out a pair of earmuffs from her treasure pouch! The kind used to prevent mandrakes from howling when repotting them!
However, hers is clearly more advanced, as it can even block the effect of a dragon's roar.
At the same time, what was thrown out was an extremely sophisticated-looking brass cylinder, densely covered with countless thin brass sticks.
"My God! Porter's animal form! This magical beast-like stag seems to be able to ignore the stun-inducing dragon roar!"
Is this Hogwarts' groundbreaking Transfiguration?!
"Hibiscus Warriors need to speed up! If Porter gets there first, he can end the game immediately!"
Spectators are always inclined to side with the underdog. Even someone as strong as Harry is more likely to be favored by the people who hope that the beautiful Fleur can at least take down one dragon.
However, Furong was definitely not there to take advantage of the situation.
Her flight speed was not slow, and the cylindrical object she dropped exploded in mid-air, scattering countless tiny copper wings inside, which then spread out in the air like dragonflies.
Then, like a dense rain of needles, it shot towards the protein lizard at extremely high speed, and the area even covered Harry.
Furong wasn't worried about her junior getting hurt. His previous performance had already demonstrated his combat skills, and besides, even if he did get hurt, it wouldn't be a big deal as long as it didn't kill him.
Faced with attacks from both sides, Harry didn't stubbornly continue charging towards the white lizard. After all, a dragon's slap was still quite powerful, and he didn't want to get riddled with holes in his rear.
With a nimble twist in mid-air, he leaped to the other side, dodging the raging rain of needles.
Furong seized the opportunity to surpass him.
The scales of the lizard are not particularly hard, but they can withstand the poisoned copper needles without any problem. Although the dragons fly around like birds and harass them frequently as long as their scales are not broken, the lizards can simply cover their eyes with their wing membranes and be at ease.
In that short time, the hibiscus had reached the top of its head.
A bundle of crudely made alchemical bombs was thrown down, and the girl flew away immediately without any hesitation.
The next second, there was a violent explosion and burning!
Alchemists always fight in a simple and unpretentious way. If Hibiscus were truly allowed to unleash her full potential and create products without being limited by raw materials, she could become an arsenal all by herself.
Of course, neither Beausbarton nor the organizer, New Paris, would allow such a situation to occur.
She was only allowed to bring some of the alchemy tools she had made herself, as well as a small amount of raw materials, so that she could refine them on the spot.
This is already a preferential treatment for an alchemist, after all, Krum gave up most of his equipment in exchange for the qualification to carry nuclear crossbow bolts.
The explosion did not last long. When the alchemical flames were dispersed by a gentle breeze, people saw the protein lizard at the center of the explosion.
It didn't die!
Its unique crystallized dragon skin and thick wing membrane provided it with considerable protection, but the power of such a bomb did indeed severely damage it. Its stealth ability was completely destroyed, and its internal organs and brain were damaged by the violent shock, so it will probably be unable to move for a while.
"Oh no!" Furong's heart tightened.
That bundle of gold bombs was all she had brought. She only had one chance to compete with Harry for the first kill, so she threw them all down without hesitation.
But I never expected this dragon to have such a strong defense! It actually survived the explosion!
In an instant, she saw Harry, transformed into a spirit deer, rushing towards the center of the explosion!
