Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 189 Acromanthus Venom
Mike picked up Tom Riddle's diary with a black cover, looked at the Sword of Victory and Covenant in his other hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally stuck the Sword of Victory and Covenant into the ground. He then took out the basilisk fangs that he had collected in the battle with the basilisk from the bag of the Traceless Extension Spell.

Mac decided to use it to destroy Tom Riddle's diary.

Although there are many ways to destroy a Horcrux, there are three ways that Mike can use now, the Killing Curse, the Sword of Victory and Oath, and the Basilisk Fang, but the first two are easy to be discovered.

Michael doesn't want anyone to know that he has mastered the dark magic of the Killing Curse and that he owns a magical weapon like the Sword of Victory and Oath.

Mike threw the diary on the ground, raised the basilisk fang in his right hand and stabbed at the notebook.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly emerged from Percy's body and rushed towards Mike.

However, Mike was prepared for this. He pulled out the Sword of Victory and Oath that was stuck in the ground with his left hand, and swung the sword at the incoming shadow.

To be honest, Mike's backhanded heavy sword attack didn't have much killing power at all, after all, the posture was too awkward. But Mike was holding the legendary holy sword, the sword of victory and oath.

Then, the moment the shadow touched the sword, a holy golden light flashed, and then the shadow was cut into two pieces, with light golden flames burning on the two severed halves.

It was not until this moment that Mike could see the shadow clearly. The dark hair with a hint of brown was combed into a big backcombed bun on his head. His face was delicate and his skin was fair. He was actually a translucent handsome boy.

The pale golden holy fire seemed to bring him unimaginable pain, causing his facial expression to become extremely hideous, but this still could not conceal the handsomeness of this young man.

Mike looked carefully at Voldemort's face when he was a student, shook his head and smacked his lips. He really couldn't connect the handsome boy in front of him who seemed to have walked out of a Mary Sue novel with the horrible noseless murderer in the future. He didn't know what Voldemort went through after graduation to make himself look like that.

Retracting these strange thoughts, Mike raised the basilisk fang again, and stabbed it hard at the black notebook on the ground under Tom Riddle's horrified gaze.

With the awkward feeling of a blunt knife piercing through thick cardboard, the basilisk's fangs pierced directly through the black diary.

As if a living creature had been stabbed, large streams of crimson blood gushed out from the hole in the notebook caused by the basilisk's fangs, and soon the entire diary was dyed red.

"No!"

A shrill scream came out of Tom's mouth, and the pale golden holy fire on Tom's body became more intense, burning faster, and in just a few breaths, Tom's soul was burned out.

After doing all this, Mike let out a breath and turned his attention to Percy who was lying on the side.

Mike raised the blackthorn wood wand and pointed it at Percy. Strangely, he did not cast magic immediately. Instead, he asked calmly without even turning his head:
"What do you think I should do with him?"

"Foolish human, you already have a plan in mind, right?" The raven Papi landed on Mike's shoulder, his eyes flashing with a strange purple light, and projected a string of words into Mike's mind.

"So can you do it?"

'Of course, who do you think I am?'

As if insulted, the raven Papi's words to Mike were clearly filled with anger, and then he flapped his wings and turned into a ball of black mist that poured into Percy's brain.

The black mist seemed to possess some special magic. The moment it flowed into Percy's brain, Percy, who was lying on the ground with no idea whether he was alive or dead, actually frowned and groaned in pain.

And Mike just looked at him quietly, with the wand in his hand still locked on Percy's head.

To be honest, Mike really wanted to cast a Crushing Curse directly on Percy's head. What Percy had done in the past year made Mike feel disgusted whenever he saw his face.

However, Mike's reason told him not to do this.

Percy is the older brother of the Weasley brothers. Killing him will not only affect the relationship between himself and the Weasley brothers, but will even make the Weasley family hate him.

Although he could use the excuse that Percy was possessed by Voldemort and that was why he had to kill him, sometimes people just help their relatives and not the rational ones. No matter how he explained, it would reduce the favorability between him and the Weasleys. This was something Mike, who had been making money by cooperating with the Weasley brothers, could not accept.

After thinking for a long time, Mike finally came up with a best of both worlds solution, which was to let the raven Pappy turn Percy into a fool. Then the Weasley family would not blame him, after all, he had saved Percy's life. As for why he became a fool? It was probably because of the influence Percy suffered when he was possessed by Voldemort, right?
This way, Mike got his revenge without affecting his relationship with the Weasley family because of Percy's affairs. It was perfect.

Just as Mike was reviewing his plan in his mind, a ball of black mist slowly emerged from Percy's seven orifices and transformed into the raven Papi again in mid-air.

"Did you make it?"

"Of course, stupid human, who do you think I am?" Raven Papi said with pride, "I didn't make him an idiot, but I planted a seed in his mind. From now on, he will have nightmares every night, nightmares about you. In this way, he will fall into deep fear whenever he sees you, and will never dare to provoke you again."

Hearing this, Mike nodded with satisfaction. What Raven Papi did was indeed better than directly turning Percy into an idiot. Moreover, the nightmare created by Raven Papi was different from ordinary nightmares. It was a real nightmare. When Mike was experimenting with Raven Papi's ability, he only stayed in it for a minute before he had the urge to commit suicide. Even now, when he thinks about it, Mike still gets goose bumps.

After shivering twice to get rid of the goose bumps all over his body, Mike took out some herbs used to stop bleeding and heal wounds - dittany from the bag of the Traceless Stretching Spell and applied them to Percy's broken arm and pierced foot.

The broken arm was easy, as Mike could just apply the solution directly. However, the wound on Percy's foot was a bit troublesome. It was difficult to make the wound completely covered by the difficile just by applying it on the surface of the wound. As a last resort, Mike had to dip his finger in the difficile and put it into the hole on Percy's foot to apply it.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Percy's face was pale. Even Mike's rough application of medicine on him failed to change his expression. Seeing this, Mike couldn't help but worry that Percy would not be able to hold on.

Fortunately, the effect of the diffusant was amazing. The bleeding stopped just a few seconds after Mike applied it. Percy's broken arm had even begun to heal. I don't know if this will affect Percy's ability to reattach his broken arm.

Of course, Mike didn't care about that.

Looking up at the dense forest outside the open space, those eight-eyed giant spiders were still continuously coming out of the forest, rushing into the sea of ​​fire fearlessly, and then being burned to death halfway towards Mike.

Mike shook his head slightly, a look of pain flashing across his face. The venom of these Acromanthus spiders is a magical material. Since the venom cannot be extracted when the Acromanthus spiders are alive, and once the Acromanthus spiders have been dead for too long, the venom will evaporate quickly, so the venom of the Acromanthus spiders has become very rare and expensive. A pint (Note 1) is worth 100 gold galleons. It is a pity that all these Acromanthus spiders are burned to death.

Mike waved his magic wand, and the burning flames on the open space suddenly disappeared.

Looking at the astonishing number of eight-eyed giant spiders, Mike's eyes flashed with greed. He raised his magic wand high and rushed towards the continuous pouring out eight-eyed giant spiders.

"Stand stiff and stop dead!"

Mike chanted the spell, and translucent spells shot out from the tip of his staff, hitting the eight-eyed giant spiders one by one with incredible accuracy.

The eight thick legs covered with terrifying hair of the hit eight-eyed giant spiders were staggered and gathered together. With a series of crisp sounds of broken joints, all of the eight-eyed giant spiders' big hairy legs were broken.

The corners of Mike's mouth rose slightly, it seemed that the leg-locking spell was quite effective.

The Leg-Locking Curse is actually a very simple evil curse that consumes surprisingly little magic power. First-year wizards can easily learn it. Its function is to make the legs of the person who is cursed suddenly close together, causing him to fall.

This kind of curse can only be regarded as a prank curse at best for humans, but for creatures like spiders whose legs cannot be closed at all, it is a complete "leg-breaking curse".

Seeing that the Leg-Locking Spell was effective, Mike completely transformed himself into a magic machine gun, and launched a series of translucent Leg-Locking Spells at the eight-eyed giant spiders.

The raven Papi was not idle either. It kept circling around Mike. Once any fish that had escaped the net rushed into Mike's vicinity, it would attack and kill the eight-eyed giant spider.

The death of the eight-eyed giant spider killed by the raven Papi was also extremely strange. From the outside, there was no visible injury at all, but in fact it was already dead.

In this way, Mike and the raven Papi worked together to kill the eight-eyed giant spiders that kept pouring in from all directions, and their efficiency was even better than the previous sea of ​​fire.

After an unknown amount of time, the eight-eyed giant spiders finally stopped this meaningless act of sacrificing their heads and turned around to flee into the depths of the jungle.

At this moment, there were several piles of corpses made up of eight-eyed giant spider entities around Mike, the tallest of which was even six meters high.

Mike took out the scalpel distributed in the Potions class, used Transfiguration to create a bunch of glass bottles, and then rushed towards the eight-eyed giant spiders with his eyes closed.

The physiological structure of the eight-eyed giant spider is similar to that of ordinary spiders. The body is divided into two parts: cephalothorax and abdomen. The cephalothorax has two pairs of appendages. The first pair is chelicerae, which have fangs, and the tip of the fangs is the opening of the venom gland.

Use a scalpel to cut into the hole at the tip of the fang, and the crystal clear venom will flow out.

Mike hurriedly picked up the glass bottle and took it. After only half of the bottle was filled, the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider stopped flowing out.

This method of extracting venom is actually not professional. There should still be a small amount of venom left in the body of this Acromanthus spider that has not flowed out, but Mike doesn't care. There are many Acromanthus spiders at the scene. What he needs is efficiency, because the noise of the previous battle must have alarmed the people in Hogwarts. If he guessed correctly, Dumbledore and others should be on their way.

Then Mike did the same thing. When he encountered an eight-eyed giant spider that was not yet dead, he used the Sword of Victory and Oath to strike it with one strike. He dealt with the pile of corpses very quickly, and the empty glass bottles on the ground were now filled with venom.

Mike was just about to conjure up some more glass bottles to collect the venom when suddenly there was a rustling sound of creatures passing through the bushes outside the dense forest.

Dozens of centaurs wrapped in animal skins and covered with strong muscles appeared in front of Mike.

These centaurs seemed to be frightened by the pile of eight-eyed giant spider corpses in front of them, and looked at Mike standing in the pile of corpses with some confusion.

"Human pony, these eight eyes..."

The leading centaur spoke to Mike and wanted to ask about the situation at the scene. However, just as he opened his mouth, he found Percy lying not far away and the dead centaur at the edge of the jungle.

"Who... who killed them?"

The centaur asked dully, not sure if he was referring to the acromantula or Percy and the centaur.

In response to the Centaur's question, Mike methodically took out a handkerchief, wiped the disgusting mucus remaining on the scalpel, and put it into the traceless stretch bag. Then he took out the wand and said with a smile:

"I killed them. These Acromantulas and your kind, I killed them all."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Centaurs were in an uproar. Some Centaurs even dropped their pegs like ordinary horses that were frightened. Mike couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this.

"Listen! Human pony, don't joke like that." The leading centaur seemed to be angered by Mike's laughter and said sternly, "Tell me who killed Luke and the Weasley Warrior!"

The Centaur Captain's original intention was to get Mike to tell them who the murderer was so that they could chase the murderer. He had no intention of hurting Mike, but his companions obviously did not think so.

"Captain! Why are you still wasting time talking to him? He's laughing at us. Kill him!"

"That's right, Captain! This is the Forbidden Forest, our territory. Even if we kill him, the humans living in the castle won't find out!"

"Captain, give the order quickly! These despicable and dirty humans should all go to hell!"

The centaurs were chattering and arguing, and some of them had even drawn their bows and arrows and aimed at Mike, waiting for their captain's order to shoot Mike into a hedgehog.

However, Mike remained calm when facing the threat of several powerful bows. After checking the remaining magic power in his body, a sneer appeared on his face. Without saying any nonsense, he raised his hand and cast a fire spell!
