Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 385 The Methods of the Holy Church

Moon had actually made ample psychological preparations for the people of the Holy Church.

But upon meeting them this time, the other party's strength far exceeded his expectations.

The three Holy Church wizards chasing Harry were not only incredibly fast, but also extremely powerful.

The wizard's bar is nearly 5 squares long.

This is almost on par with the four heads of Hogwarts.

"Harry, get out of the way!"

Moon shouted, and then his wand shot out a spell forward.

Harry understood perfectly and dodged the wand's attack.

The wizard behind him, however, was unaware of the wand's power.

swoosh~
swoosh~
The sound of breaking wind was heard.

Two blades, completely invisible to the naked eye, shot towards the wizard of the Holy Church in an instant.

After practicing continuously for some time, Moon's [Shadowless Blade] is now able to fire two blades simultaneously.

This is also Moon's most lethal attack tactic at present.

boom!
The first strike did not achieve the desired results.

The wizard following closely behind Harry didn't actually notice the attack; it was just that the scepter he was holding automatically emitted a defensive spell.

Just as the spell was about to strike him, a fiery red shield suddenly emanated from the top of the scepter, rising up in front of him and blocking the attack.

However, this defensive magic is not very powerful.

The second [Divine Sharpness Without Shadow] not only shattered the magical protective shield, but also pierced through the chest of the Holy Church wizard.

"what!"

A scream rang out.

The wizard who had been closely chasing Harry plummeted to the ground like a shot-down goose.

The remaining two wizards glanced at their companion but continued to relentlessly pursue Harry.

Furthermore, they would occasionally use their scepters to launch flames at Harry in front of them.

Although flying brooms are more agile in the air, the opponent's attacks are very sharp.

Soon after, blue smoke began to rise from the end of Harry's broom.

Fortunately, Harry's Nimbus 2000 was of very high quality and had fireproof magic, so it was not ignited.

After casting [Divine Edge Without Shadow], Moon immediately maneuvered his flying broomstick to quickly approach Harry.

Finding the right angle, Moon immediately unleashed a [Clear Water Like a Spring] spell, preventing the broom's tail from catching fire.

“These three are not the most powerful wizards; their leader did not follow.”

Seeing Moon approach, Harry shouted in alarm.

"what!"

Moon was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He then noticed that the wizard he had just knocked down seemed to have been caught by someone.

After setting down the injured wizard, the man quickly flew towards Moon and Harry.

"That's right, it was him. I snatched the crystal ball from him."

Harry also saw the man's figure.

He had barely uttered a sentence when he noticed that Moon's wand was already pointing at him.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

This time, Moon's strongest spell didn't have much effect.

The opponent simply raised his scepter, easily deflecting the blade attack.

Fortunately, the [Shadowless Strike] slowed down the ascension speed of the Holy Church wizards.

"Throw the crystal ball out of your hand!"

Moon had noticed that these wizards were all very interested in the red crystal ball in Harry's hand.

Moreover, Moon had already seen through his monocular glasses that the magical energy emanating from the crystal ball was enormous.

Harry didn't hesitate at all, and he understood Moon's meaning perfectly.

He threw the crystal ball sharply downwards and backwards.

That is, just as the people of the Holy Church are about to touch the crystal ball.

A [thunderous explosion] struck the sphere.

bang~
This explosion was far more powerful than the magical flames that had ignited the military camp.

The instant the crystal ball exploded, a tangible red and black magical energy rapidly spread from the center of the explosion.

This energy is like a dark cloud containing red lightning, and its range is still expanding rapidly.

The wizard, who was already very close to the crystal ball, was also thrown away by the shockwave from the explosion.

Before they could regain their footing in the air, red and black magical energy had already enveloped them.

Then Moon heard a shrill scream coming from the dark clouds.

Immediately afterwards, two burning humanoid objects fell from the dark clouds and plummeted to the ground.

As for the Holy Church wizard who arrived later, he raised his scepter the instant the explosion occurred.

Then a pure white light rose up around him.

When the dark red and black clouds touched it, crackling electric arcs appeared on the light shield.

"Let's go! Let's get out of here first."

Seeing that the leaders of the Holy Church were not afraid of such an explosion, Moon led Harry away into the distance.

At the same time, the loud explosion also attracted the attention of the spellcasters in Jinglan City.

That is, when Moon led Harry away into the darkness of the night.

A huge bird took off rapidly from the city center and flew towards the north of the city.

This large bird is a magical creature.

It has a majestic body like a lion, covered with thick yellow fur.

Its limbs and thighs are thick and powerful, and its claws are sharp and huge, like sharp scimitars.

Above the shoulders is a giant, eagle-like head, with a sharp beak that looks like it's made of steel and gleams coldly in the night.

It is the only magical creature in the entire Federation capable of carrying people in flight: the Ironmane Griffin.

It is also the mount of the spellcaster leader.

The red and black magical energy cloud generated by the explosion continued to spread.

The iron-maned griffin cautiously maintained its distance.

Dean Valentine, who was riding on its back, kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the flashing electric arcs.

"Mr. Mead Lawrence, you owe me a reasonable explanation for what happened today."

As the arcs of electricity continued to flicker in the dark clouds, Dean Valentine's lips unconsciously curled up.

He hadn't seen anyone from the Holy Church suffer a setback in a long time.

"An explanation? Shouldn't it be your Federation explaining to me why there are dark wizards lurking here!"

The power generated by the crystal ball explosion had a significant impact on Lawrence.

When he spoke, you could clearly hear that his tone was not smooth and that he was coughing slightly.

"A black wizard? We haven't found any black wizards, but the magic you cast tonight has already taken the lives of many Federation soldiers."

"They were all attacked by the magic of the dark wizard!"

Mead Lawrence seemed to have had a sore spot hit.

He suddenly raised the scepter in his hand, and the energy on the magic shield was quickly concentrated in one place.

Like a sharp spear, it instantly pierced through the red and black magical energy that enveloped the surroundings.

“Don’t forget, Benny Valentine, we have an agreement that dark wizards will not be allowed to live in the Gracia Federation.”

Although he didn't know Moon's true identity yet, Mead Lawrence wanted to label him a dark wizard first.

This would allow them to explain the situation to the federal authorities and also quickly complete the tasks assigned by His Holiness the Pope.

“It’s true we have an agreement, but the source of the magic on those soldiers should be easy to trace.” Valentine stared intently at the other man.

Seeing the archbishop's robes burned and his face covered in black stains, he was secretly overjoyed.

"Go ahead and investigate."

Archbishop Lawrence originally wanted to argue.

But the thought that the crystal ball used to cast the spell had already been destroyed relieved him of his guilt.

"Your Excellency, why are you being so stubborn? Many people are familiar with the Holy Church's [Divine Fire Punishment Technique]. The flames that haven't been extinguished yet should be one of them, [Sinful Burning].

Upon hearing this, Mead Lawrence no longer tried to hide his feelings.

“Since you know that it is the ‘Burning of Sin,’ you should understand that those who are burned to death have sins on them, and this is the punishment they deserve.”

Seeing Valentine blocking his way, Mead Lawrence guessed the spellcaster leader's intentions.

It was nothing more than preventing him from going to find the two escaped black wizards.

Therefore, Archbishop Lawrence's tone gradually became unfriendly.

“Lord Lawrence, this is the Gracia Federation. Even if there is punishment, it should be done by us.”

While Dean Valentine and Archbishop Mead Lawrence were arguing in heaven.

Layton had already led his personal guards and the spellcasters from the academy to the military camp in the north of the city.

They saw a large number of ruins and rubble around them, as well as many seriously wounded soldiers.

Layton shouted instructions to the spellcasters to save people and put out the fire.

"Those skilled in healing magic, go and save the people immediately! The rest of you, summon water to put out the fire!"

"Oh, right, go and get the burn potion from Star Ember Island; it will be even more effective."

Layton is now incredibly grateful that he facilitated the potion trade with Starfall Isle.

Even though trade has stopped, the Federation has stored some potions that will come in handy.

Layton's team wasn't the only one to come to the rescue.

The Crusaders actually arrived here not long after the fire started.

However, the fire was too intense at the time, preventing them from penetrating deep into the military camp.

With spellcasters clearing a path with magic, the Crusaders were able to enter.

"Quickly use the [Holy Prayer] spell to save them."

As Major General Robin, the leader of the Crusaders, gave the order, a group of soldiers clad in mithril armor quickly arrived near the wounded.

However, their method of saving people is very complicated, requiring at least seven people to swing their swords together in order to unleash the so-called holy magic to save people.

"Get out of the way! By the time you use your magic to save him, this kid will be dead already!"

A grumpy spellcaster shoved aside the crusader soldier and then took out a potion and smeared it on the soldier.

In just a few breaths, the burns on the soldier's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Crusader soldiers, who had initially wanted to argue, all fell silent.

However, Commander Robin clearly did not want to accept the spellcaster's favor.

Most of the wounded soldiers here were Crusader mercenaries, and it was their responsibility to treat them.

"Layton! Get your men out of here, this is our territory!"

Layton ignored him, continuing to chant complex incantations to summon water to extinguish the fire.

"I told them to leave!"

No sooner had he said that than Layton swung his right hand, controlling the water flow to strike Robin.

laugh!
The stream of water, which was originally capable of knocking a person away, was directly split in two by the sword.

Watching Robin raise his sword with both hands, maintaining the downward slashing motion.

Layton also drew his sword and slashed.

"You bastard, if you hadn't brought in the Holy Church, would there have been so many casualties?"

Bang!
One sword strike, followed immediately by another.

"I, Layton, am saving Union soldiers. It has nothing to do with who they belong to or whose orders they take!"

bass!
Layton slashed several times in succession, but Robin easily blocked them all.

Without using magic, if it were purely a contest of skill, Layton would indeed be no match for the Crusader Commander.

"How can you blame me? If you hadn't taken in the dark wizards from Starfall Island, none of this would have happened."

The leaders of the two different factions were fighting, and no one dared to stop them.

But just after the two had exchanged a dozen or so blows, the ground tremors interrupted Robin's attack.

A glimmer of light appeared and disappeared quickly.

Archbishop Lawrence of the Holy Church also quickly descended from the sky.

“All wounded soldiers here will receive compensation from the Holy Church. As for the dead soldiers, they will not only receive compensation from the Church, but we will also pray for them so that they may return to the embrace of the Church.”

After landing safely on the ground, Archbishop Lawrence immediately announced the news.

Then, with a livid expression, he glanced at Robin and the two hurriedly left the military camp.

At this moment, Dean Valentine, who was riding an iron-maned griffin, also stepped down from the bird's back.

"Dean, are we just going to let them go like this?"

Layton asked, still unwilling to give up.

"With our current strength, this is the best we can achieve."

To be honest, Benny Valentine was also very dissatisfied.

But he had just planned to activate the massive magic array set up within the city, which is why Mead Lawrence accepted the outcome.

As for demanding more compensation, Dean Valentine was actually somewhat powerless to do so.

However, looking at the tattered robes on Mead Lawrence's body, Dean Valentine's resolve only grew stronger.

"We hope Glenn will do a good job of entertaining our distinguished guests."

"Vice Dean Glenn? Who is he entertaining?"

Layton was initially curious why, given the magnitude of the incident, this high-ranking spellcaster from the academy hadn't shown up.

"Of course, he's the black wizard the church talks about."

While Dean Valentine and Archbishop Lawrence were confronting each other.

Moon had already led Harry to the spellcaster's academy in the center of the city.

Because this area is not open at night, it is sparsely populated, and no one spotted Moon and his group.

"Gentlemen, the dean has already given instructions that you can stay at the academy."

As soon as Moon landed on his flying broomstick in the square of the Spellcaster's Academy, Vice Dean Glenn immediately came out.

"My family, they should have arrived by now."

He carefully examined his surroundings and then asked the boy in his pocket again.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, Moon turned to Vice Dean Glenn.

"We've arrived. All twenty-eight people are resting in their guest rooms. I can take you to them now."

After crossing the square, passing through dense vegetation, and then through a secluded passage where no one else was, we finally arrived at the guest room Glenn had mentioned.

"This is the most secluded place in the academy. You can stay here with complete peace of mind. No one will find this place."

As Vice Dean Glenn spoke, he made a hand gesture, and soon a high wall was erected at the end of the secret passage.

Harry, following behind Moon, was filled with astonishment.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a method of casting magic.

"Please convey my thanks to Dean Valentine."

Moon bowed sincerely as he spoke.

“Yes, I think the Dean will be back soon, and then Mr. Scarlett can thank him in person.”

Glenn nodded and left.

Moon quickly pushed open the door and went into the guest room.
