Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 437 The Long-lost Flame Curse

Arthur reacted quickly, but he was still not fully awake. He could only make two instinctive "ohs" sounds before pressing the communicator on his chest and commanding as a commander:

"Everyone, retreat immediately!"

At the same time, Mike, who was lifted into the air by a huge amount of magic power, was still in a state of accumulating power.

That terrifying ball of twisted light was absorbing his magic power at an extremely terrifying speed, and quickly converting it into more heat at geometric multiples to strengthen itself.

With such high-efficiency absorption and conversion, the distorted light ball has expanded from the original size of a grain of rice to the size of a basketball.

At this time, Mike, who is the source of the magic power of the light ball, has been feeling a little exhausted. Even though the magic power in his body has surpassed most wizards in the world, it is still not enough when facing this light ball that is like a magic black hole.

You should know that although the ball of light in front of you looks like a transparent unidentified object that can only show its existence by distorting the surrounding air and refracting light, in fact, it is composed of countless transparent flames that have almost become pure energy!
This is the highest level form of the Flame Spell, and also the most powerful spell Mike can currently use!

Mike dared to swear that there was no substance on this planet that could withstand such horrific high temperatures!
Feeling the remaining magic power in his body, Mike took a deep breath, ready to give the raging flame a final boost while reserving enough for the subsequent battles!

"Humph!"

A light snort came from Mike's mouth, and the rich magic power that originally surrounded him suddenly disappeared, and all poured into the strange ball of light.

Visible to the naked eye, the strange ball of light suddenly expanded again!
Due to the sudden increase in size, Mike's control over it also began to plummet!

This caused the strange ball of light that was originally suppressed by Mike to begin to shake unsteadily, while huge circles of heat emanated from it.

Everyone present, including the wizard Avery and the wizard of Los Santos who were confronting each other in the distance, felt a palpitation for no reason at this moment, and they all looked in the direction of Mike at the same time.

The situation on Wizard Avery's side was relatively good. After all, ignorance is bliss. Except for a very small number of knowledgeable senior wizards, most people didn't understand what was happening and were still standing there stupidly.

But the situation of the Los Santos wizards is not good.

They had just received the retreat order from Commander Arthur, and before they could figure out what was going on, they discovered that their boss was brewing a super-large spell!
They still have a clear understanding of their boss's strength.

So, after a brief moment of daze, all the wizards in Los Santos came out of their invisible state and ran in all directions with all their might!

At this time, Mike's accumulated energy finally reached the critical point.

Mike in mid-air let out a loud roar, and then used all his strength to throw the terrifying ball of light on the wand in his hand towards Avery's troops!

A strange scene happened. Although Mike had tried his best, the movement speed of the terrifying light ball seemed so slow.

Under the gaze of everyone, the terrifying ball of light was like a big bubble blown out on a sunny day, shining with colorful light and slowly flying towards its target.

Finally, it officially came into contact with the transparent shield created by the Avery family troops.

There was no explosion, no flame. It just stuck to the shield like a normal big bubble. The part that was in contact with the shield even deflated and stuck to the shield itself.

Everything seemed fine, but for no apparent reason, everyone present felt a sharp pain between their eyebrows.

The next moment, the bubble burst.

A huge ball of light that was as big as the sun suddenly emerged from it. Everyone closed their eyes instinctively, but the horrifying light still kept drilling into their eyes, forcing them to cover their eyes with their eyes and arms!

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying heat gushed out. The huge shield, which was powered by the magic of all the wizards of the Avery family and was so powerful that the Los Santos Wizarding Corps had no power to defend against it, was like cotton candy in front of this heat and melted away in an instant.

The terrifying heat was not blocked at all, and spread wildly in all directions with the twisted light ball as the center!

Anything it touched would be directly burned into the tiniest dust. The Avery wizards who covered their eyes did not feel any pain at all before they all disappeared.

But the heat was still spreading, first to the surrounding trees and houses.

Then there are the soil, stones, and even the special alloy steel plates that actually build up this floor.

Everything disappeared under this terrifying heat!
Finally, a dull and terrifying sound slowly came from the air, making the hairs of everyone present stand on end.

Finally, everything was over. The scene was silent. Many people who were nearby were dizzy and unable to see due to the shock waves and terrifying light caused by the explosion.

And when they recovered a little, they saw that the Avery wizards who had stood before everyone had completely disappeared, and in their place was a huge pit that was still emitting terrifyingly high temperatures!

This huge pit directly penetrated the entire fifth floor, and even a part of the fourth floor's Mute living area exposed underneath was severely damaged.

Not only that, the land around the giant pit was also melted by the enormous heat. Those beautiful streets, beautiful villas, everything turned into black scorched earth!

Arthur watched all this in amazement, his mind going blank.

You have to know that he has been trained as a witcher since he was a child. In order to eliminate his fear of wizards, his master constantly belittled wizards in front of him, which made him look down on wizards from the bottom of his heart.

But now, this unknown magic spell cast by Mike completely shattered his three views. He believed that he would never be able to possess this kind of power comparable to that of a god even if he practiced swordsmanship for decades more!
There were many people in a similar situation as him. They were all stunned by the terrifying destructive power. But if we were to say who felt the greater shock, it must be the traitor who leaked the information to Mike.

At this moment, he had completely lost his previous decisiveness and was staring at the huge pit with a dull look on his face.

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly turned his head, his face flushed red, and his eyes trembled as he looked at the figure in front of him that was slowly falling from the air. Now he was really glad that he had made a decision before. This group of invaders actually had such a powerful force. Even if he resisted to the end, he would only end up dead in the end!

Just as the traitor was looking at Mike with admiring and excited eyes, Mike, the culprit of the huge pit, finally fell to the ground.

He looked at the huge pit in front of him and the ruins around it, felt that there was only about 30% of magic power left in his body, and nodded with satisfaction.

Over the years, he has never stopped researching the Flame Spell, and today, he has finally reached the theoretical limit of this spell.

There is no need to study this spell in the future. This does not mean that the power of this spell has reached its peak, but that any theoretical research can no longer provide any help for this spell. If you want to make this spell more powerful, you can only input more magic power and improve your own control over the spell.

After taking a deep breath, Mike slowly turned his head and looked at the guy behind him who was looking at him with admiration, and said with a smile:

"Take me to your clan leader."

The traitor was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, crawled to his feet, bent over and groveled, and said:

"Yes, sir! I'll take you there right away! I'll take you there right away!"

As he spoke, he bent down, silently walked to Mike's side, half a step behind him, stretched out his hand, and pointed the direction for Mike.

Knowing that the other party had some mental problems, Mike was not too surprised by the friend's hospitality and walked in the direction he pointed very naturally.

At this time, Franklin finally woke up and looked at the captive who was still in a daze behind him and asked:

"Mike, what are you going to do with the remaining prisoners?"

Mike didn't say anything, but raised his hand and snapped his fingers without turning back.

Seeing this, Franklin's mouth curled up with a hint of cruelty. He grinned and raised his wand towards the captives who were like zombies.

"Puff puff……"

A series of muffled sounds mixed with some screams came from behind Mike and the others, but no one reacted. The traitor didn't even frown, as if the tragedy behind him had nothing to do with him.

The group slowly walked towards the large administrative building in the center of the fifth floor. Along the way, more and more black-robed wizards joined the team.

These people were all Los Santos wizards who had dispersed earlier. Thanks to Benjamin's timely warning, they did not suffer too many casualties. The reason they did not return immediately was that they were too close to the explosion point and were knocked unconscious.

Along the way, through magical perception, Mike could clearly sense that there were still many survivors in this town. He originally wanted to ask the Los Santos wizards to encircle and suppress them, but Zhou Hong, who was traveling with him, told Mike with a strange look on his face that these people's hearts were completely filled with fear and had no hostility towards them at all.

So Mike gave up the plan of clearing them out immediately. After all, the remaining people were just a few big cats and small cats.

Moreover, the first moment he entered this secret realm, Mike discovered that this secret realm was different from the Ravenclaw secret realm they possessed. The entire realm was cast with Anti-Apparition Spell, Anti-Apparition Spell and Unmappable Spell, which meant that anyone who wanted to enter or leave this secret realm could only use several large door keys at fixed locations. So he was really not in a hurry at all. Instead of sending people to encircle and suppress those ordinary people now, he might as well find the patriarch of the Avery family first!

Finally, under the leadership of that traitor, everyone finally entered the administrative building in the center of the fifth floor.

The building within the building was in a mess, with all kinds of overturned items and garbage everywhere. After witnessing Mike's incredible fireball technique, all the staff inside abandoned the families they were loyal to and fled on their own.

In this situation, this office building was almost defenseless to Mike and others. They easily came to the office of Patriarch Avery without any effort.

However, like the previous offices, this luxuriously decorated office was also empty.

Mike and the others didn't react too much. After all, after seeing the scene downstairs, they had already prepared for Chief Avery to escape, but that traitor was different.

I saw him rummaging around the room, searching through office cabinets, display cabinets, under the sofa, and even the trash can.

While searching, he shouted in a trembling voice that was almost speechless:
"Impossible! He must be here! Where did he go…"

Franklin and others did not stop him, but silently watched the man's clown-like behavior, with sarcasm in their eyes.

Mike's eyebrows slowly frowned. The current situation was the most difficult. The fundamental purpose of their action this time was to find the Slytherin pendant box and Chris's trace.

But now the person who is most likely to have this information is missing, so their operation can be said to be a complete failure.

The traitor at the side became even more panicked after seeing the expression on Mike's face. He knew very well that he would be dead if he could not meet Mike's needs, so he began to look for the trace of Chief Avery in the office more frantically, even the teacup and pen holder were not spared.

But Mike and others thought it was completely useless. After all, who would hide in a pen holder or a teacup?

After taking a deep breath, Mike was about to issue a blockade on the entire secret realm in search of Chief Avery when he suddenly heard the scream of that traitor beside him.

The scream immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office, but surprisingly, the thug who was rummaging around had disappeared, and there was only an ordinary teacup shaking in its place.

Mike and Benjamin looked at each other, and the latter stepped forward to examine the teacup.

"It's a safe portkey!"

After getting the exact answer, Mike finally smiled. He squeezed his wand and walked towards the teacup while saying:
"Arthur, Benjamin, Zhou Hong, Franklin, you come with me!"
