Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 419: I don’t need the Elder Wand to deal with you

Tom felt that he was getting better and better at playing, and for a moment he even felt that he might win.

However, Abernathy is, after all, a wizard with rich combat experience.

Tom's initial tenacity did surprise him, but it was only a brief surprise.

After the initial surprise, Abernethy quickly adjusted.

For an elite Wuka party member with combat experience, does it mean that he cannot fight without a powerful spell?
of course not!

In battle, no matter if it is a powerful spell or an ordinary spell, the ultimate goal is to hit the opponent!

When it comes to hitting the opponent, the power of the spell actually doesn’t have much to do with it!

In previous battles, which enemy he encountered didn't have some powerful magic?
Didn't he defeat them all?

So, after being surprised, Abernethy quickly adjusted himself.

Tom, who had been doing well, suddenly felt tremendous pressure again.

Unlike the initial pressure that came from the power of the opponent's spells, this time the pressure comes from the enemy's spellcasting skills!
Now Tom is attacking instead of defending!
Every time Abernathy cast a spell, Tom almost countered it with another spell...

But now, he suddenly found that it was becoming increasingly difficult for his own spell to counteract Abernathy's spell!
Tom, who could originally stand still and attack, had to start dodging!
Because he found that Abernethy's offense actually contained a lot of fake moves!

Sometimes Tom thought the opponent had cast a spell, but when he tried to block it, he found that his spell had missed because the opponent was just feinting!
As the spell flew in vain, Abernathy's real attack arrived, and Tom could only dodge...

As a result, Tom's offense and defense were no longer smooth!
Soon, the situation that seemed to be evenly matched with Abernethy changed completely, and Abernethy was overwhelmingly suppressing Tom.

Tom dodged more and more, counterattacked less and less, and his responses became more and more panicked.

If this continues, he will be defeated soon...

Because he had completely fallen into his opponent's rhythm...or rather, he had never escaped Abernathy's fighting rhythm from beginning to end.

At this time, Levid and Grindelwald were looking at Tom, and they both hoped that Tom could calm down.

This way, at least the loss won't be too ugly.

Suddenly, Tom, who had been suppressed, launched more counterattacks, each one more fierce than the last...

Grindelwald uttered a soft "hmm", not knowing what was going on.

Because logically speaking, even if Tom calmed down, it would be impossible for him to achieve this level immediately.

But Li Weide, who was standing by, saw the problem...

Because Tom used the power of the ring...which was the power of the probability glasses.

Li Wei De had already sewn the function of probability glasses into the Hydra ring.

Now that Tom is using the ring, it's like... cheating.

In this way, Tom, who had received sufficient combat tips, could naturally see through Abernathy's feints.

However, Li Weide didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Equipment is manufactured to be used.

Moreover, Tom was calm enough to remember that he had such equipment at this time.

Besides, he wasn't as strong as Abernathy to begin with, so the fact that he could hold on until now was already a remarkable thing.

At this time, Abernethy was also full of surprise and confusion. He originally thought that he could kill the boy in front of him in seconds.

As a result, he has been entangled with me until now...

Now we were about to defeat him, but for some unknown reason he became difficult to deal with again.

Originally, a little fake move could fool Tom, but now... this kid is not fooled at all!

At this time, with the help of the ring, Tom had completely calmed down.

With the help of the ring, Tom no longer needs to identify the opponent's fake moves by himself.

Therefore, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and have the opportunity to observe the opponent's fighting skills!

Yes, he is now learning Abernathy's fighting skills!
That gorgeous and practical action is exactly what Tom lacks now!
Abernathy felt the fight was getting more and more awkward... The opponent was like an indestructible cockroach. Every time he was about to push him to the brink of defeat, he would always stand up again at the last moment...

And... I don't know what happened, but this kid's attack method changed later!

The originally straightforward attacks are gradually becoming more varied!
He could even see feints similar to his own!
"Tom is such a genius..." Grindelwald exclaimed.

He didn't know about the ring. In his eyes, Tom had survived until now entirely by relying on his own abilities!

"But he will still lose." Li Weide shook his head.

Grindelwald did not refute this point of view because he also thought so.

Sure enough, Abernathy was an experienced witch. After feeling awkward for a while, he finally discovered that there was always a moment's lag when Tom responded to his attacks.

This is also the biggest disadvantage of the ring.

From the moment the ring gives the prompt to the moment Tom reacts and takes action, no matter how fast Tom's movements and reactions are, they are always a little slower!
As a result, Abernathy's attack speed suddenly increased!
Abernethy, giving it his all, cast his spells incredibly fast.

A slight shake of the wand casts three spells...

The sudden increase in offensive speed once again broke down Tom's defensive system... The unexpected acceleration caught Tom completely off guard.

After holding on for another ten seconds...

"Snapped!"

The wand in Tom's hand fell into Abernathy's.

Tom ultimately loses, but because of his efforts, the lesson Abernathy intended to teach him also fails.

In other words, Tom lost with honor and in a very beautiful way.

Abernathy looked at Grindelwald uncomfortably... With his ability, he should have won by beating up a little brat, but being entangled by the other party for so long... was totally inappropriate!
However, Grindelwald just looked at him with a gentle gaze. "Well done, Abernathy. You faithfully carried out my orders. Tom was also remarkable."

Abernathy breathed a sigh of relief and handed the wand back to Tom.

Li Wei De watched Grindelwald's show from the side, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

I have to say that this old guy has achieved his current success and gained the loyalty of so many people. He is quite capable.

His subordinates lost face, but he claimed that they were perfectly carrying out his orders...

With just one sentence, he saved both his subordinates and his own face.

'It's not your fault. I told you to add the water, and you did it right!'

It’s true that every word he said would not make his subordinates feel disheartened!

Li Weide silently memorized this little trick to win people's hearts.

"Tom, I told you you could do it." Li Weide said with a smile.

"But I lost..." Tom looked gloomy.

Opened, but still lost...

This was something the proud Tom could not accept for a while.

"Tom, the most important thing is not winning or losing, but what you learned from this battle." Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom was startled for a moment, then his dim eyes immediately brightened up again.

It has to be said that this battle did benefit him a lot.

While opponents in the Pensieve are also powerful, all reactions and spells of opponents in the Pensieve remain constant.

But Abernethy is different. He can adjust his playing style at any time according to Tom's changes!

This is also the most critical reason for Tom's defeat!

When Tom began to review the previous battle in his mind because of Levid's words, Grindelwald next to him looked at Levid with a complicated look.

I have to say, even though this kid hasn't fully grown up yet, he's already a formidable opponent...

When he first met Tom, Tom was just a timid and weak first-grade wizard.

But now, Tom has been able to fight with Abernathy, the strongest of his men, to this extent.

There is no doubt that this is inseparable from Li Weide's guidance to Tom!

Just now, for example, when Tom was still immersed in his failure, Li Weide reminded him not to dwell on it, but to remember the experience...

If Li Weide hadn't reminded him, Tom would probably have been silent for several days before he remembered this.

By that time, as his memories fade, Tom will have gained much less than he does now!
Besides Tom, how many other students have received guidance from Li Weide?
I believe that before long, he will have a fighting force under his command that is as powerful as the Wushu Party...

At this moment, Grindelwald finally figured it out.

A Li Weide like this... is destined to never become his subordinate.

Because such an outstanding person would never get used to having someone above him!
"Ved...now, is it our turn?" Grindelwald said slowly.

"Of course. It's my honor to practice with Mr. Director." Li Weide said with a smile.

Abernathy and Tom quickly stepped aside.

Grindelwald stood in the center of the venue with a black wand in his hand.

Ever since his old wand was taken away by Dumbledore, he had to get a new one...

But to Grindelwald's surprise, Levid, who was standing opposite him, was not holding the Elder Wand, but another half-worn wand.

Levid seemed to understand Grindelwald's confusion and smiled, "It's just a sparring match. There's no need to use the Elder Wand."

Grindelwald was so angry that he laughed. This kid actually thought it was unfair for him to fight him with the Elder Wand!

Not only does he not use the Elder Wand, but he actually holds an old wand?

Is the old wand still good enough? Practicing with yourself with a wand that isn't good enough... that's just putting yourself down!

Madness!

"Come on, let me see how much you've grown in these few years..."
