A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

Looking up, crimson pillars of fire spewed from the crater, and countless lava of all sizes shot out in all directions at extremely high speeds. Ignoring the temperature, their power was probably no less than that of artillery shells.

The falling lava will roll down like a boulder rolling down a mountain, along with scalding magma and thick volcanic ash.

A generous gift crab!

Aaron gasped, feeling the world's naked malice towards him.

At this point, he couldn't care less about anything else. He turned around and took off running, bursting with unprecedented speed.

From Genes' perspective, Aaron becomes a black shadow, engaging in a speed contest with the fire rain meteors and red and black waves behind him.

"Young Master is very fast; he managed to throw the lava away by a large margin."

"Indeed, you never know how capable you are until you push yourself," Genes said with a satisfied smile, then changed the subject, "But it would be naive to think that this guarantees safety."

As Aaron was running wildly, thinking he had escaped unscathed, a red crack suddenly appeared in front of him, steam overflowing from it and almost spraying Aaron's face.

"Damn it, are you trying to kill me?!"

Aaron cursed inwardly, but during that brief pause, the lava and molten rock caught up again, forcing him to continue his frantic run.

Although the road ahead was extremely dangerous, and one wrong step could mean certain death, the road behind symbolized absolute destruction. He didn't think his small body could withstand the impact of that extreme heat.

But after a short while, Aaron was panting heavily and covered in sweat.

Aaron turned his head to look at the approaching magma. The scorching heat felt like the Grim Reaper's scythe against his neck, but the increasing number of red cracks and the magma gushing from them made him hesitate.

This is definitely not your average volcano; it was tailor-made for me.

Aaron realized this and clenched his fists.

Unless he reveals his ability to apparite, his chances of survival are slim if things continue like this.

But after glancing at Genes, who was calmly standing in mid-air, he gave up on the idea. It was better to keep such a trump card to himself until the very last moment.

"It's a pity we left the magic carpet at Hogwarts, otherwise we could have just flown and avoided all this trouble," Aaron said with some regret, as he prepared to find a path with fewer cracks to evacuate.

But then a white figure appeared in Aaron's mind. Looking at Abe next to Genes, his eyes lit up instantly, and he uttered in an incomprehensible tone: Come and save me!

He can't fly, and he doesn't have any flying gear, but he has a flying pet!

Abe's ears twitched, and he spread his wings and flew over.

Genes noticed, but didn't stop them; he just smiled and didn't say anything.

boom!

Abe crashed into a transparent wall, his entire dragon dazed, and slid straight down, making a sound like a cat's claws scratching glass.

"Young master, don't try to be clever," Genes said, suppressing a laugh. "This is prepared just for you; no outside help can help you."

Aaron was dumbfounded, then glared at him fiercely, "You just wait."

This time, he didn't think about running away. Those cracks wouldn't let him go just because he was good-looking, and the lava wouldn't defy the laws of physics and stay in place just because he was kind.

If you can't avoid it, then forge your own way out.

With that in mind, Aaron decisively drew his wand.

He first cast an armor spell on himself, then took a deep breath and swung his wand straight ahead.

An invisible wave emanated from the tip of the wand, and the cracks within a few meters in front of it miraculously healed. However, the lava that had escaped did not flow back into the cracks, but instead formed lava pools of various sizes on the volcano.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Applause rang out, and Genes smiled and praised, "Young Master's repair spell is very skillful, but the liquid spilled from the container cannot be returned to the container using this spell, and..."

Before he could finish speaking, a rumbling sound came from behind, and the lava pressed down faster and faster. To make matters worse, the ground that Aaron had just repaired was starting to crack again.

Damn it! There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me.

Aaron's eyes widened as he raced along, choosing the best route while constantly casting healing spells to make the path as safe as possible.

After running for more than twenty minutes, the rapid loss of his physical strength and magic power left him in a daze, and the ever-approaching scorching lava was constantly increasing his psychological pressure.

Even standing high in the air, Genes had a tense face, his expression no longer as relaxed as it had been at the beginning.

Seeing Aaron's disheveled state, he couldn't bear it. After all, Aaron was the young master he had raised, and no one wanted Aaron to escape alive more than him.

As for Abe, he kept ramming against the transparent barrier in the secret chamber, but his gigantic body couldn't budge it at all, and even his dragon breath couldn't leave a trace.

Genes sighed. He knew very well how defensive this barrier was; even he would find it difficult to break through, let alone a young dragon.

Moreover, this is a hurdle that every heir must overcome; he cannot interfere and has no reason to interfere.

“Young master, listen to my advice, if you can’t hold on, then give up!” Genes said with some hesitation. “You’re only thirteen years old, it’s normal that you can’t handle it.”

Some people older than you couldn't handle it, and no one will laugh at you.

“Shut up, I’d rather die than let Viko succeed,” Aaron said coldly.

He knew his father too well. If he really messed up on this, Vico would probably drop everything and rush back to mock him.

She had definitely gotten wet in the rain herself, so her son's generation thoughtfully took the umbrella apart.

After quickly adjusting his stance, Aaron looked at the lava behind him. "Two minutes? It might not even be two minutes. What a huge challenge!"

The next moment, he raised his wand and drew a brown rune in front of him. He then focused intently on drawing a magic circle, a diagram, basic spells, and a star around that rune.

The proportion of the earth element in the air continued to increase, and as the outer circular outline was completed, the inner pentagram released a strong light.

A massive earthen wall rose from the ground, forming a large reservoir with the volcanic slope, blocking the lava that was about to engulf Aaron.

"This is... the ultimate?" Genes exclaimed in astonishment, but after a moment he noticed something unusual. "No, if it were the ultimate magic circle, the commotion wouldn't be this small."

Above the advanced level, but below the ultimate level?

To accomplish this in just a few minutes, young master truly deserves to be the most outstanding member of the Gaius family in a century.

"I won't die for now." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't think the wall would buy him much time.

The reservoir will overflow sooner or later, and the volcano is still erupting; who knows what will happen next?

He glanced at Genes in mid-air, then turned his gaze to the crack in front of him that was spewing lava, and composed himself slightly.

Now that our abilities with magic circles have been revealed, the rest is irrelevant.

He gave Genes a defiant middle finger and started sprinting again.

However, this time he was multitasking, repairing the cracks in the mountain while using his mental power to inscribe an ice-blue magic circle to cool down the next landing spot.

Chapter 207 I'm the only good person among the crowd

More than half an hour later, Aaron looked at the transparent barrier that was so close at hand and shouted excitedly, "The finish line!"

His excitement was still vivid on his face when he crashed into the barrier and let out a scream.

Abe shuddered, feeling the same way, and covered his eyes with his paws, unable to bear looking at it.

"hiss!"

Aaron gasped in pain, raising his head with a look of grief and indignation. "Am I really going to die today?"

"I wouldn't dare," Genes said respectfully. "I only said that the destination is at the foot of the mountain, but I didn't mean that we have to cross this barrier. If you want to leave here, young master, you have to find it yourself."

Aaron was stunned for a moment, his brain racing.

He needs a precise location; searching blindly is definitely not an option.

Although there are no crimson cracks here, the lava won't stop flowing; it will catch up with him in ten minutes at most.

Finding the exit at the foot of the mountain within ten minutes... depends entirely on luck, after all, this volcano is no ordinary volcano.

“Abe.” A thought flashed through Aaron’s mind, and he immediately summoned the Holy Dragon. “Follow this barrier and find the black stone pillar, the one you saw in the secret chamber.”

Abe let out a roar and flapped its wings to fly to one side.

A little over half a minute later, he returned and pointed Aaron in the right direction.

"Go about 500 meters to the left, there is a black pillar there."

"Beautiful." Aaron took a step forward and calmly walked to the front of the stone pillar. "Uncle Genes, this must be it!"

Genes nodded slightly. "Congratulations, young master, on conquering the first dungeon."

Aaron scoffed dismissively, then leaned against the stone pillar, watching the volcanic eruption with great interest.

"Young Master, aren't you coming out?"

"Now that I'm all here, I can't just leave empty-handed. I'll just consider it an opportunity to broaden my horizons."

Genes: ......

It makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

The lava was moving slower than Ayron had expected. When the dark red lava was less than a meter away from him, he placed his hand on top of the stone pillar.

Click!

The barrier shattered instantly.

The lava, volcano, and thick smoke vanished in an instant, and Aaron returned to the real secret chamber.

After escaping danger, the first thing Aaron did was walk up to Genes, raise his wand, and cast a crimson spell.

Genes' lips twitched, and a white light flashed around him, deflecting the spell in another direction.

"Young Master, please calm down."

"I can't stay calm," Aaron said angrily. "I've tolerated everything before, but you can't go this far!"

I almost fell into the lava pool several times; I've never been so thrilled in my life.

“I know,” Genes said helplessly. “Actually, I also think it’s a bit excessive, but it’s your father’s order.”

"Come on, you think you're so great just because you're the head of the family!"

I'll write to my grandfather right now and ask him to come back and seek justice for me.

“I’m afraid that won’t work.” Genes shook his head, looking at Aaron with some sympathy. “Young Master, I’ll say something you won’t like to hear, but it’s very realistic.”

Your father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and so on—everyone has experienced the utter humiliation of this secret room. Do you understand what I mean now?

"You mean..." Aaron pursed his lips, "My grandfather is also waiting to see me make a fool of myself."

Genes was silent for a moment, then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, that's how it will be."
