From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 370 Time Stop Explosion
It only took the time to arrange the tactics, and the five-armed demon as big as a hill had destroyed the magnificent fortress built by Ivy.

At this moment, it was making a shrill howl, waving its five arms wildly, and smashing the broken walls of the magical creation.

Ivy and the two deans rose from the moat of the ruins of Sedertun and began to prepare spells.

The Dark Cinema Chief Anbos was the first to complete his spell. Many ink balls flew away under his control and attacked the Devouring Demon Titan.

These ink balls are all the statues of Mo Lingyuan from Yinhao Academy. Each of them stretched out their arms and legs to try to cause some damage to the Devouring Demon.

Unfortunately, the Mo Lingyuan creature is just a microscopic creature, not much bigger than a rabbit, and the damage it can cause is very limited.

However, Ambos's original purpose was not to kill them, but to use these little guys who would not feel sorry for their death to attract the attention of the evil spirits.

Mo Lingyuan, like a fly, hit the eyes of the Demon Titan, and immediately burst out a cloud of black smoke, trying to block the evil demon's vision.

The configuration of the smoke was very similar to the second-level spell Darkness. Even if the Titan of the Infinite Demon had dark vision, he couldn't let his eyes penetrate it. Unfortunately, the amount of smoke that the micro-Mo Ling could store was really limited. The five-handed demon just tilted his head left and right and let go of the smoke screen left by the Mo Lingyuan statue.

But this does not mean that Mo Lingyuan has made no achievements. It has successfully bought a lot of time, and the spells of Valentine, the Dean of the Bloodline, have also been prepared.

Although this vampire, who has lived for an unknown amount of time, claims that he no longer needs to rely on blood to survive, his spells do not deviate at all from people's stereotypes about vampires.

Scarlet and filthy blood gushed out from his body like a fountain, and soon formed a huge wave that kept surging forward. All objects that stood in the way of the blood wave were either swallowed up or corroded. The broken walls and ruins of the Seidun ruins were once again severely damaged, and returned to the scene of the bloody battle many years ago - blood filled the sky and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Valentine rode the waves forward. The several-meter-high blood wave was just knee-high for the Demon Titan, but the blood wave cut off the demon's giant legs in an instant, and it was about to fall to the ground.

It may not be accurate to describe it as "chopped", because the cross-section of the five-armed evil demon's leg is not neat, but rather looks like it was caused by acid burning and external force collision.

Seeing Valentine's spell work, Ambers, who was on the side, was undoubtedly relieved. The two deans had no experience of fighting against the Sorrow Devouring Demon head-on, let alone the even larger Titan in front of them.

"Don't look back, Valentine!" Ambers yelled. "Its legs have grown back!"

The Devouring Sorrowful Titan, whose body below the knees was completely burned by Valentine's blood wave, did not fall down, but just shook his body and regained his balance. It seemed that the loss of a calf and foot was not a significant injury for this evil demon.

The roar of the Devouring Demon Titan was not caused by Valentine's magic attack, but by the irritating Mo Lingyuan statue hovering around its head.

A lot of sticky black substances poured out from the cross-section of the leg of the Devil without Foot, and immediately provided support for it. These sticky substances crawled on the surface, pulling up everything they could find from the ground, and then putting it into the body to digest and devour. In just a few breaths, the Devil without Foot's calf grew back.

Ivy became interested immediately after seeing this scene, and the spirit of research in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He guessed that the Sorrow Devouring Titan in front of him was the slime monster he had left here a few days ago, or at least part of it. The scene of the Sorrow Devouring Titan recovering its limbs reminded him of slime monsters. After encountering a slash or too much damage, those soft-bodied creatures would split into two new individuals. If some parts were completely destroyed, they would try to devour everything around them that could be used to reconstruct the lost body.

However, Ivy still didn't know whether it was the slime monster that devoured too many bones and local black mana that attracted the Sorrowful Devourer, or the Sorrowful Devourer was attracted by the voracious slime monster and actively merged with it.

The thinking mode of the slime monster is so simple that it can't understand the instructions of Ivy, its creator, at all. However, the Devourer of Sorrow, which feeds on the emotions and pain of mortals, is obviously much smarter. If the Titan in front of him is mainly composed of slime monsters, Ivy may have a chance to figure out how the Devourer of Sorrow exists and grows, and why it combines with slime monsters.

Even if the Devouring Sorrowful Titan refused to cooperate, its research value was still there. It was just that Ivy's experiment might have to be changed from a live experiment to a specimen experiment.

Now that the research value of the five-handed demon in front of him has been confirmed, Ivy must be more cautious in choosing spells. If he uses a spell that is too strong and burns the big guy in front of him to ashes, he will regret it for several days.

So after careful consideration, Ivy decided to use some spells that could trap the Infinite Demon Titan.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

The starlight reflected by the gem on the top of the mithril staff turned into dazzling golden light, and the guardian golden dragon with endless light mist leaped out.

As soon as the Golden Dragon Guardian appeared, the ghosts and black mana hovering around the ruins of Seidun were suppressed for a short moment, but Aquavivo is a magical time and space blessed by nature, and the atmosphere and soil here contain extremely abundant mana. Therefore, Ivy's Golden Dragon Guardian failed to bring about lasting changes, and was instead entangled by the stagnant and turbid black mana here.

The golden dragon's graceful flying posture had disappeared, and every flap of its wings seemed like it was struggling in quicksand, appearing extremely funny and clumsy.

The influence of the environment brought a lot of trouble to Ivy's control. He had to distract himself to control the Golden Dragon Guardian to fight against the surrounding environment. He put in a lot of effort to make the Golden Dragon's movements in the air look not so clumsy.

Before the Guardian of Light arrived at the battlefield, the Five-Handed Demon was already annoyed by the Black Spirit summoned by Ambers. It stopped flapping its five arms in vain and began to cast its own spells.

The five arms of the Devouring Demon Titan stretched out in different directions, forming an inverted pentagram structure. The black mist flowed back and forth on the five arms, forming a giant rune formation in the blink of an eye.

The dark purple evil light gathered above the head of the five-handed demon. The next moment, the filthy black evil light broke through the air, plowing a deep gully in the ground and directly hitting the place where Ivy and Ambos were. "Ambos! Doom!" Valentine was horrified when he saw this scene, and hurriedly controlled the blood wave that had rushed out for a distance to turn around, hoping to use this spell that could cause damage to the Titan of the Infinite Demon to interrupt the spell.

As the blood surged, Valentine's heart was already half relieved, because the golden dragon guardian that Ivy had released earlier had already arrived in front of the infinite demon titan and was trying to launch an attack to interrupt his ongoing spell.

Since the Golden Dragon Guardian still exists, it proves that the young man who joined the faculty and staff of Strijhaven not long ago is still alive. It’s just that I don’t know what happened to An Bos, the director of the An Cinema.

The golden flames suddenly exploded, and Ivy fell to the ground again. The Phoenix Spark standing on his shoulder let out a weak whine and fell headfirst. During the fall, the gorgeous feathers on the Phoenix gradually burned out, and its body gradually shrank from the size of an adult bird to a fledgling that had not even grown all its feathers.

Before the spark fell to the ground, Ivy scooped it up with her hand burned by the evil light.

Even though the Phoenix's flame jumps were swift and effective, Ivy still suffered some injuries during the transfer. When concentrating one's mental consciousness on a spell, it is indeed easy to neglect one's own protection. Ivy decided to use fewer spells that require continuous guidance in the future, unless the personal casting environment can be guaranteed to be undisturbed.

Controlling the Patronus of Light to continue attacking, the anger in Ivy's heart was gradually ignited by the pain from the wound on his arm. In previous battles, he was rarely injured. The dark wizards in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts were good at using the Death Curse, and he had no room to get hurt. Most of the enemies encountered during the journey to Lonely Mountain mainly used physical attacks, and as a sword master, he could deal with them easily.

But facing this giant evil demon that can also release super powerful magic, it is the first time in every sense for Ivy.

The [Consecrated Water] in the golden cup had been distributed to three students before. Now the liquid at the bottom of the cup was not enough for a mouthful. Ivy could only use silent and wandless casting to recite a few healing spells for himself, but the wizards' healing magic was unlikely to be effective for injuries outside the system.

Therefore, after discovering that the injury was difficult to treat, Ivy stopped focusing on the Guardian of Light and instead controlled the golden dragon to crash into the five-handed demon.

After the evil magic circle in front of the Guardian of Light and the Devouring Demon of Sorrow collapsed, Ivy raised the Heart of the Mountains with both hands and slammed it heavily on the ground, shouting: "Stop time!"

This is one of the only four ninth-level spells he has as a legendary spellcaster, a top-level transformation spell that can pause time.

The shattered light mist of the Golden Dragon Guardian and the disintegrating spell formation of the foul evil magic circle were still in the air, as if the pause button was pressed. Valentine's blood wave formed a giant hand, trying to sneak attack the back of the Sad Devouring Demon, but it could only be temporarily held in the air, unable to move forward or backward.

The ball of ink in the distance was Ambose's transfer magic. At this time, his upper body had already separated from the ink form. He looked pale and helpless, and was obviously affected by the magic of the previous Infinite Demon Titan.

Ivy quickly treated the wounds on his body, then used Apparition to move to the top of the Sorrowful Titan, and then began to pour things out of the Grimoire of Destruction.

Most of the bottles and jars were failed products of Ivy's alchemy experiments, and they had no value except that they were flammable and explosive. Ivy tried to turn the Alchemist's bomb into something universal and easy to preserve, just like the various gunpowders used by Muggles.

But the experiment progressed very slowly. Apart from researching bombs with various elemental effects, these things were very unstable. Except for not exploding in the specific environment of the Room of Requirement, they would usually die when exposed to light.

Hogwarts is not a suitable place to deal with dangerous goods, and Ivy did not destroy them in a centralized manner after arriving at Strixhaven, but isn't it useful now?
Ivy once again marveled at the convenience of the Grimoire of Destruction and the Room of Requirement in terms of storage.

Collecting gunpowder barrels and placing them at the boss's door was a trick Ivey used when playing Baldur's Gate 3. In addition to being able to blow up bosses that are difficult to challenge at normal levels, it can also detonate the graphics card in the computer host. Ivey stopped this highly entertaining gameplay because he didn't want to replace the graphics card he bought with a second-hand mining card.

I didn't expect that I could complete a wave of replication in Aquavivo, and use real time-stop magic without any technology or hard work in between.

The limit of the time-stop magic was soon reached, and Ivy could only leave the top of the Sorrowful Devouring Demon with reluctance, standing in the distance and watching the unstable compound like a waterfall hitting the top of the Five-Handed Demon's head.

In the first second after the time-stop magic effect ended, a golden crystal bottle fell in front of the row of eyes of the Infinite Demon Titan. The evil demon, who was still under the impact of the charge of the Golden Dragon Guardian, did not make any movement, except trying to wave his arms to change the center of gravity to stabilize his body.

In the fifth second after the time stop ended, a few of the bottles falling from overhead exploded. The shock wave quickly caused a chain reaction, and colorful light effects and smoke submerged the Devouring Demon.

Ten seconds after the time stop ended, Valentine's scarlet wave left a huge wound on the chest of the Devouring Demon Titan, protecting his head from the unstable compound left by Ivy.

Thirty seconds after the time stop ended, the pale-faced Ambers took his first breath and looked in shock at Ivy who had fired five extremely powerful Radiant Fireballs in a row.

The damage of the extremely powerful Radiant Fireball is 1.5 times the original maximum damage, and the Radiant damage obviously has a vulnerable effect on this type of demon that feeds on pain.

Therefore, in the violent explosion, the Devouring Sorrowless Demon Titan was completely broken into multiple parts. The five arms were scattered in different directions, and the two thighs without the supporting parts fell heavily to the ground. Even the head that was shining with scarlet light flew away to an unknown place.

As a brilliant warlock who is best at using large-scale spells, Ivy's super magic resources are several times that of a normal spellcaster. Therefore, after casting five extremely powerful spells in a row, he still has enough spare energy to cast other spells.

"Have you killed it?" asked Valentine, who came to Ivy on the blood wave, his eyes still following the broken arm of the Infinite Demon Titan flying in the air.

"No..." Ivy said solemnly, "It's more tenacious than I thought..."

Splitting is one of the most striking characteristics of the slime.
