Hogwarts Summoning Guide.

Blanco, his face filled with astonishment, gritted his teeth and followed Bai Lin into the opera house. He rushed towards the backstage area, taking three steps at a time. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw the Auror who had just brought the Secret Gun into the backstage area clutching his arm and falling to the ground, groaning in pain.

Blanco rushed forward, only to hear gunshots coming from the side door leading to the corridor from backstage. Blanco rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding the gunshot. He raised his hand to cast a stun spell, but the attacker missed and turned to run.

"My gun's been taken!" the wounded Auror cried out in pain, clutching the bullet hole in his right arm.

"Get him to the hospital quickly, I'll deal with this killer!" Bai Lin gritted his teeth and chased after him.

The sound of the other person's footsteps receding into the dark corridor echoed in Bai Lin's mind. He silently gave chase. The other person went upstairs down the corridor, and Bai Lin followed closely behind. Suddenly, a warning signal struck him. He quickly ducked into the darkness. Another gunshot rang out from above. The bullet pierced the stair treads; had Bai Lin not dodged, it might have hit him in the head.

"Shadow vanish!" Bai Lin transformed himself into a black shadow and chased after it, hugging the corner of the wall.

Bai Lin had excellent physical fitness and strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. His opponent was carrying a rifle that was over a meter long and was wearing the magic-resistant armor of a spellbreaker. He couldn't outrun Bai Lin at all. Soon he saw the figure of the other party. Bai Lin subconsciously thought it was a young woman, petite, no more than 165 cm tall, carrying a flying broom box that was not much shorter than her on her back, and holding a strange revolver in one hand.

In his previous life, Bai Lin played a game called Final Fantasy VIII. The male protagonist had a strangely designed gun-sword—the barrel of a large-caliber revolver extended into a longsword that could be used for both slashing and shooting.

The assassin's revolver wasn't that exaggerated; it simply had a dagger extending about 20cm from the bottom of the barrel. However, Bai Lin was quite puzzled about how to use the dagger part comfortably with this grip.

Now was clearly not the time for Bai Lin to worry about the other party's poor use of the dagger. The other party turned around and fired another shot, but Bai Lin was prepared. He was almost one with the darkness, and the other party couldn't even find Bai Lin's exact location. Naturally, the shot missed, giving the assassin a fraction of a second more.

"Fourth shot!" Bai Lin counted silently in his mind. This revolver should have six bullets. After firing it, Bai Lin did not believe that this assassin could be like the gunslinger Roland in "The Dark Tower" and reload in mid-air (revolvers cannot eject spent cartridges; you have to empty the cartridges and reload, which is quite troublesome).

"Divine Edge Without Shadow!" Bai Lin unleashed a Divine Edge spell at the assassin in the darkness. Last time in Cairo, the action team leader Caesar wore rather cumbersome armor, while this assassin was clearly traveling light. He was more agile, but his defense was definitely not as strong. Bai Lin decided to give it a try.

The assassin suddenly leaped up and stomped on the corridor wall, using his revolver to catch the wind blade of the Divine Blade Curse. The wind blade was easily shattered by the revolver, which was as fragile as paper.

"Not bad, you've trained!" Although they were enemies, Bai Lin still admired the other's martial arts skills, which were quite impressive and no less than his own.

At this moment, the assassin had already escaped to the second-floor window facing outwards. Bai Lin waved his hand and fired a Shadow Arrow. The assassin turned around and fired a shot. The bullet collided with the Shadow Arrow, causing a small explosion. Then the Shadow Arrow disappeared without a trace, but the bullet continued to fly, whizzing past Bai Lin.

The assassin leaped into the air, smashing through the second-floor window and falling onto the street outside.

Bai Lin gave chase and just then saw a ferocious and powerful animal leap out from the darkness of the street corner; it appeared to be a Sphinx from Egypt. The animal caught the falling assassin, who adjusted his stance and prepared to ride off on the Sphinx.

Without a word, Bai Lin jumped out of the window, summoning Xue Feng as he did so. Xue Feng's strong body caught Bai Lin as he fell, and Bai Lin rode it to continue the chase, looking smug as if to say, "Damn, you're the only one with a mount? I have one too!"

"Shadow Demon!" Xuefeng quickened his pace, and the distance between the two mounts grew closer and closer. Bai Lin thought to himself, "You have magic immunity, but your cat doesn't!" He then summoned the Shadow Demon towards the Sphinx's hind legs.

But the opponent was quite quick-witted. The moment Bai Lin shouted the incantation, he immediately grabbed the Sphinx by the hair on its neck, causing the Sphinx to jump onto the roof of a nearby shop, thus avoiding the Shadow Demon that Bai Lin had unleashed.

However, what the assassin didn't expect was that the Shadow Demon was a level 6 summoning spell, and was a shadow creature with life. Although Bai Lin had always used it as a kind of dark magic curse, as Bai Lin's magic power increased and his skills became more proficient, these shadow energy creatures had already acquired some intelligence. Although the Sphinx nimbly dodged it, the Shadow Demon followed closely, showing a determination not to give up until it had entangled him.

The assassin, positioned high on the shop rooftop, fired two shots at Yukikaze. Yukikaze, however, possessed keen combat instincts and dodged the shots the moment the assassin raised his gun.

At this point, the assassin had fired all six bullets from his revolver, and Bai Lin, riding Xuefeng, leaped onto the roof.

Bai Lin didn't give the opponent a chance to reload. He rode Xuefeng and roared forward, already drawing his jade-hilted dragon sword. With the momentum of Xuefeng's charge, he slashed at the assassin's neck.

Upon closer inspection, the assassin was indeed the figure of a young girl. Although she wasn't fully armored like Caesar, whom Bai Lin had encountered in Cairo, she was still completely covered with a hood, gloves, soft armor, and so on, without exposing any skin. She also wore dark goggles on her face, and Bai Lin even doubted whether she could see anything at night.

The assassin narrowly parried Bai Lin's sword with his gun blade, but Bai Lin's strength was astonishing, and the Jade-Handled Dragon was indeed a treasured sword that had been passed down for thousands of years, incomparable to any other weapon. When the two weapons clashed, the assassin's gun blade was chipped with a small nick.

Bai Lin sensed that the other party visibly flinched, as if she was distressed that the blade of the gun had been chipped. But Bai Lin didn't tolerate her. If he couldn't beat Caesar, who was covered in iron, then surely he could take care of her.

Bai Lin unleashed a sword flourish, and Xue Feng beneath him clashed with the Sphinx. Bai Lin then leaped into the air, his sword flashing towards the assassin's vitals.

The assassin was quite agile, and although her moves were a bit wild, it wouldn't be easy for Bai Lin to take her down in one or two moves.

Snowwind pushed and bit the Sphinx, while the Assassin was tossed about on its back. At that moment, the Shadow Demon clung to the Sphinx and wrapped itself around its hind legs. The Sphinx stumbled, was pushed down by Snowwind, and rolled off the roof. The Assassin was also forced to jump down.
