Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

Lin Yu had thought that these wizard pieces wouldn't obey, but to his surprise, all the pieces moved at his command.

However, the black pieces did not attack the white pieces; instead, the soldiers behind them suddenly launched an attack.

Obviously, the rules for this level aren't played that way.

In the normal gameplay, they should replace the position of a piece, and then they will take over the position of the piece.

Then they played according to the rules of Wizard's Chess, which is also known as Western chess, until they defeated the white player with their superior skills.

But what the hell is this "all-out attack" thing?

Moreover, they have no substitute pieces, which means they are intruders who have broken the rules.

As a result, both the black and white wizard pieces began to attack and annihilate them.

"Hmph," Lin Yu snorted coldly, holding the Heavenly Gang Sword, and swung it backward, severing the long blade of the black 'pawn'.

At the same time, Hermione also intervened, as she was also attacked.

But Lin Yu wasn't worried about her, because Hermione jumped up and shouted, "Cloud Abyss Nine Styles, Fifth Style, Cloud Breaking Sky Gap."

Breaking through the clouds to reveal the sun, a single sword pierces the heavens.

If this move is mastered, it is said that with a single sword strike, the sword energy can pierce through the sky.

At that moment, Hermione swept her sword out horizontally, and the sword energy instantly shattered a group of black chess pieces behind her.

Lin Yu smiled and thrust out his sword as well: "Cloud Abyss Nine Styles, First Style, Clouds Rise and Dragon Soars."

"Aww."

With a dragon's roar, sword energy burst forth, transforming into a dragon shadow that pierced through the white chess pieces one by one.

Even the white side's queen and king were not spared, turning into rubble and collapsing to the ground.

For a moment, both the white and black pieces came to a standstill.

The next moment, the white pieces put away their weapons and bowed as they retreated.

The same applies to the black pieces; although the black king and queen are still alive, they no longer attack.

It was as if they too were impressed by Lin Yu and Hermione's "chess skills"?

After all, this is Wizard Chess; they seem to have their own consciousness, and they also admire the strong.

And so, the two passed another test, regardless of how they did it.

The two men, swords in hand, cautiously made their way across the chessboard and opened the next gate.

They only completely relaxed their guard when they reached the room behind another door.

"That felt so good!" Hermione turned around and threw herself into Lin Yu's arms, excitedly shouting, "This is so exhilarating!"

Lin Yu said with a smile, "Finally, I've made you feel good."

After a while of tenderness, Hermione seemed to notice something. She lifted her head from Lin Yu's arms, wrinkled her nose, and mumbled, "What's that smell?"

It turned out that the room was filled with a foul odor.

Their senses were already heightened, making the stench even more pungent.

Lin Yu raised his hand and created a spiritual energy shield around the two of them, which prevented them from being suffocated by the fumes.

They quickly discovered where the stench was coming from.

A huge figure seemed to have been awakened by them and slowly stood up from the ground.

It was a giant monster, and the stench was emanating from its body.

The troll was carrying a terrifying wooden stick, and when it saw the two little wizards, it revealed a hideous and horrifying smile.

Those sharp, yellow teeth left no doubt that they could easily chew human bones to pieces.

The giant roared and charged forward with its massive, thick legs.

Hermione suddenly darted out of Lin Yu's arms, giving him no chance at all.

The troll grabbed the wooden stick in its hand and swung it at Hermione.

Hermione did not back down and raised her Cloudwind Sword to strike.

With a 'whoosh' sound, and a flash of sword light, the giant's weapon was sliced ​​open as easily as tofu.

The Cloud Mist Sword was a treasured sword capable of cutting through iron like mud, and with Hermione's Foundation Establishment cultivation, the mere giant was no match for her.

Lin Yu wasn't worried. He only slowly raised his hand and waved it to the side when Hermione's severed half of the stick flew over.

The terrifying giant club was sent flying by his blow, crashing into the wall on the other side with a loud 'bang'.

Looking at Hermione again, she had already rushed in front of the troll and unleashed more than a dozen slashes with her sword.

"Tai Chi Swordplay"

Hermione used Tai Chi swordsmanship, slashing, parrying, and thrusting. Green blood spurted from the troll's body, turning it into a blood gourd in the blink of an eye.

The troll instinctively tried to reach out with its massive hands to grab Hermione.

Hermione, with a cold expression, slashed out with her swords to the left and right.

The giant let out a painful howl, and its two arms, each the size of Hermione's entire body, fell to the ground.

Finally, even Lin Yu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Alright, Hermione, give him a quick death."

Being a troll isn't easy either.

Hermione stood there and suddenly swung her sword.

The giant stopped moving immediately and then collapsed backward with a crash, as its head had been cut off.

Lin Yu walked forward and came to Hermione's side.

Hermione stood there, her expression cold, like a female demon.

Perhaps because it was her first time slaying such a giant creature, Hermione took a deep breath to calm her expression, raised her head, and looked at Lin Yu with some confusion in her eyes.

She was caught up in the moment and forgot that the troll was also a living being, only waking up to reality after she had already killed it.

She killed someone?

"Alright," Lin Yu seemed to sense Hermione's feelings, and pulled his girlfriend into his arms again, comforting her, "You're doing this to protect yourself, and also to protect me. If you don't kill it, it will eat us. Hermione, don't let trivial matters upset you. Remember, everyone who wants to kill us is our enemy. As long as we don't die, they will be the ones who die. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. You don't want to lose me, do you? You don't want me to get hurt, do you?"

Sure enough, Hermione calmed down. She hugged Lin Yu tightly and said, "I will not let anyone hurt you unless I die, not even myself."

This was a promise Lin Yu had made to her, and she kept it.

Lin Yu smiled and agreed, "I understand. But it smells awful here, so I won't kiss you. Let's keep going."

Yes, the smell here is so awful that even their sweet romance has a strange aftertaste.

Hermione quickly composed herself and followed Lin Yu to the next room.

With the door blocking out the smell from behind, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But just then, flames suddenly burst into flames in front of the door behind them, blocking their retreat. Moreover, the flames circled the room, meaning they also blocked their way forward.

At the same time, a table appeared in front of them, with seven bottles on it.

Lin Yu seemed to have figured something out and said, "It seems this challenge was set up by Snape."

Those bottles were the glass jars used to hold the magic potions.

They went over and found a note on the table.
