The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 377 A Ruthless Move! (Bonus Chapter for the First Elder of this Book!)

After clearing half of the jungle, Moriarty headed towards the top lane.

There was no mini-map in the canyon for Moriarty to see, so Moriarty had no idea how Charlie was doing.

Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the pentagram map, the Hogwarts team is adjacent to two other teams.

Nobody knows which opponents Charlie in the top lane and Jericho in the bottom lane will face.

Moriarty quietly approached a patch of grass along the upper river. No one knew where the school had found this grass; the clumps were frighteningly tall and completely obscured Moriarty.

To Moriarty's surprise, Charlie met Krum!

The two launched probing attacks simultaneously, casting spells across the minion wave.

These spells were neither too powerful nor too weak; some of them struck the goblins, making them tremble all over.

If they keep fighting like this, even ten waves of minions won't be enough for the two of them.

Seeing that Charlie was not at a disadvantage and Moriarty did not show up, he activated the Alchemy Matrix and drew a real-time map of the Magic Canyon in his mind.

Krum appeared on the left flank of Hogwarts, exposing Durmstrang's right flank to Hogwarts.

The locations of Beauxbatons, Ilvermoni, and the Magic Institute teams are currently unknown.

However, to be fair, the Demst team actually placed their strongest player, Krum, on the wing.

Do you intend to make the top lane the primary focus of your attack?

Moriarty pondered for a moment, then turned and left.

Charlie might not be a match for Krum, but defensively, Krum wouldn't have an easy time taking down Charlie's turret either.

On the contrary, Tonks and Violet in the middle lane need Moriarty's help more.

The winning condition is to capture the enemy base's loot box, and to reach the enemy base, you must destroy all of the enemy's defensive towers.

So this is a tower-pushing game—let's just say that for now.

However, you will not receive any rewards whether you defeat or kill your opponent.

The duel with the opponent became less important, a point Moriarty felt the other teams had also considered.

As he strode towards the center, Moriarty overheard a tense conversation as soon as he approached the river.

"Nine, why is a piece missing from your robe? Hmm?" Tonks crossed his arms, looking fierce. "Looks like you ran into some big trouble in the jungle. If you can't beat them, just surrender and give us the carnation-wrapped box. Nobody will blame you."

Tonks arrived at the mid lane minion wave convergence point and spotted Brutus's Hibiscus, Ilfamon's Brian, Durmstrang's Hubble, and Naruko from the Magic Institute.

Upon seeing Kuno arrive, Tonks knew that Kuno was the jungler in the team.

Hibiscus, standing to Tonks' side, also mocked, "We thought the Japanese had some kind of trick up their sleeves, but Kuno-kun has really disappointed us."

Being teased by them, Jiu Neng was so angry that her nose almost crooked.

Who released the long-horned water snake?

Snakes that can turn invisible are really disgusting!

The reason why Jiu Neng is now disheveled is because he was attacked by the long-horned water snake.

The attack was stealthy; thankfully, Kuno was still under Hanyu Kafū's control, otherwise he would have had to leave the competition prematurely.

"Heh, so because of Moriarty, Hogwarts and Beauxbatons have joined forces?"

Not to be outdone, Jiu Neng also started to sow discord.

"But as far as I know, the captain of Beauxbatons is not Miss Fleur, but Michaela."

"It's common knowledge that Michaela wants to defeat Moriarty."

Furong flicked a strand of silver hair from her forehead, a gesture that nearly made the boys present lose control.

She said, "We have a good relationship, but I also want to win the competition! However, we're united against you!"

Tonks stepped forward, gripping his wand tightly, staring intently at Nine, his tone aggressive: "That's right, Nine, you're disgusting! Your Magic Institute was the first to be eliminated!"

"Why say so much? Just beat him up!"

Violet ran towards Yuzuru Kaze with a cold expression.

Jiu Neng's lips twitched: Little girl, if it weren't for your parents, I would have... Never mind, I can't afford to offend them. Let's wait for the BOSS to arrive.

While I was pondering, Violet rushed over, wand in her right hand, and swung it down fiercely: "Shatter to pieces!"

Nine swung his wand at the minion wave, and an innocent goblin flew over to block the spell.

The goblin exploded into pieces with a "bang".

"Tch, they don't even give you gold coins for killing soldiers."

Jiu Neng complained angrily that his jungle clearing wasn't going well and he hadn't earned many gold coins.

"brush!"

Violet's left hand was claw-shaped, with five blood-red fingernails, and she reached out to grab at Jiu Neng's head, bringing with it a bloody gust of air.

Jiu Neng dared not be careless. Although Violet was still young, the instinct for close combat was something that vampires were born with.

Kuno used the "pirated elemental magic" he learned from Genya to summon a series of fireballs, forcing Violet back.

"Make your move!" Kuno shouted to Naruko behind him.

Naruko hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Shikigami—Nine-Tailed Fox!"

A large fox slowly appeared in front of Naruko, its nine tails waving menacingly.

"Immediately imprison them!"

"Sand and stones flying everywhere!"

Tonks and Fleur took turns, one restraining the fox's tail and the other blocking its vision.

Violet launched another attack, summoning a group of vampires to chase after Nine.

A flicker of apprehension crossed Jiu Neng's eyes. Dealing with blood relatives would be easy, but the key was that Violet would definitely come after him once she saw her vampire disappear.

At that point, I won't be able to kill her, and I won't be able to get rid of her either.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity, pretend you can't beat them, run into the jungle and kill the vampire, then go jungle.

Jiu Neng no longer wanted to continue fighting; he just wanted to get back to the jungle as soon as possible.

As for Naruko?

Jiuneng doesn't even consider it.

The mid-lane turret will attack enemies that enter the turret.

If Naruko can't win, she should just retreat back into the tower.

So Jiuneng abandoned his companions and ran away without hesitation.

However, Moriarty used the Invisibility Gem to sneak up on Kyuu!

Moriarty also used a little magic trick on himself, making him move incredibly fast.

At the same time, a sturdy, large wooden stick appeared in his hand, which he held in his hand.

Walking up to Jiu Neng, Moriarty swung his big stick and hit Jiu Neng's head hard, like a baseball!

"pound!"

The wooden stick slammed solidly into Jiu Neng's head, producing a dull, loud thud.

"Ouch!"

Jiu was beaten so badly that he saw stars and a fist-sized bump grew on his head!

Even Yuzuru Kafu, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but gasp.

Although Kyuu could bear the pain, it looked painful to Hanyu Kafu!

"Who! Who is it?"

Nine gritted his teeth, wanting to turn around and find Moriarty, but felt his brain had turned into mush, and turning around risked turning into an idiot.

Jiu dared not move and hurriedly used a healing spell to heal the wound on his head.

"Oh? It's a healing magic unique to Japan."

Moriarty seemed thoughtful. "There's this trick too? I haven't seen Jiu use it in previous matches."

Since that's the case, then it's okay to hit a few more times!

With three seconds left invisibility, Moriarty swung his club again and struck Nine's left shin!

"Snap!"

The wooden sticks were all broken.

"ah--"

Jiu Neng cried out in pain after being hit.

He couldn't bother using healing magic anymore, clutching his leg and groaning in pain.

At this moment, the invisibility period expired, and Moriarty appeared, standing next to Kyuuneng and coldly staring at him.

"It's you! Moriarty!"

A fire seemed to blaze in Jiu Neng's eyes as he angrily roared at Moriarty, "Hiding and ambushing? You're unethical!"

Moriarty took out the invisibility gem and fiddled with it in his hand. "What do you know? I'm going to teach you a lesson with a tool I got from the treasure."

"You can't get the treasure yourself, so you blame me for ambushing you?"

"There's plenty of good stuff in this treasure trove, go farm the jungle, you loser!"

"Here, take this as a souvenir."

Moriarty threw the useless invisibility gem at the bump on Jiu Neng's head, causing Jiu Neng to scream in pain again.

After giving Kuno a piece of his mind, Moriarty left. Anyway, all of this would be attributed to Hanyu Kafu and Yoru, so Moriarty had no qualms about bullying them.

He came over to the three women, nodded to them, and was about to say something when Brian came up to him.
