My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 183, Section 180: Slaying the Dragon

The intense pain stimulated its nerves, and the short-nosed dragon roared in agony before flapping its wings from high above and angrily crashing down towards Lynn.

Lynn's physique wasn't strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the dragon. He nimbly dodged to the side, while simultaneously aiming his wand at Ivanov, who was standing on the dragon's back.

"Thunder Explosion (Double the Amplification)!"

A dazzling burst of fire exploded behind the short-nosed dragon, but Ivanov simply used Apparition to teleport to the dragon's head and then cast a dark spell on Lynn as well.

His spell was more powerful than before; the dark green beam shot out from the tip of his staff at an astonishing speed. Even with Lynn's reaction speed, he could only barely turn around to let the spell pass by.

The Explosive Curse missed Ivanov, but it once again blasted the short-nosed dragon's back into a bloody mess.

Neither the Divine Strike nor the Explosive Curse could inflict any superficial damage on this fire dragon. To truly kill it, Lynn needed to pinpoint its weakness.

After its attack failed and it was hit by a bomb, the short-nosed dragon went berserk.

It opened its ferocious maw and took a deep breath, then suddenly spewed out bright blue flames, causing a sudden surge of intense heat.

Lynn seemed to have run out of tricks. He was helpless against this creature, which was stronger than him, could fly, had strong defense, and could use large-scale attacks. He was forced to run away in all directions.

The short-nosed dragon clearly wasn't going to let him go. It descended from the sky to the ground again, spewing blue flames from its mouth, seemingly trying to roast Lynn alive.

Ivanov, standing on the dragon's back, did not let this opportunity pass. He did not chant any spells, but all sorts of magic spells shot out from his wand. Even if they failed to hit Lynn, they restricted his movement.

However, Lynn was unusually resilient. He leaped and bounded across the grass like a monkey, constantly dodging Ivanov's spells while maintaining a certain distance from the short-nosed dragon, ensuring that its flames could never touch him.

The short-nosed dragon was furious. It felt that the insect was as slippery as an eel. Just when it thought it was about to burn him, the insect would suddenly accelerate and escape its attack range.

The dragon's breath eventually ran out, and just as the flames in the short-nosed dragon's mouth went out, Lynn's counterattack began.

He had been calculating the amplification of the previous spells. The stun spell he used on Ruslan had no amplification, the Divine Strike spell he used on the fire dragon had no amplification, and the Explosion spell he used on Ivanov had a twofold amplification.

In other words, his next spell will definitely be the highest three-fold increase.

Without hesitation, Lynn pointed his wand at the short-nosed dragon's wings, which had just unfolded and were about to take off. The Demon King Terminator title took effect, and the silent spell was activated, forming a huge, invisible blade in mid-air!

Divine Sharpness (Triple Amplification)!

The air seemed to hiss as a huge blade ripped through space, instantly severing one of the short-nosed dragon's wings!

"roar!"

With a painful howl, the short-nosed dragon crashed to the ground like a meteorite, sending dirt and grass flying everywhere. But Lynn did not stop his attack.

Even if a dragon loses a wing, it doesn't mean it's no longer a threat. Only a dead dragon is a good dragon!

"Thunder Explosion (Double the Amplification)!"

Lynn pointed his wand at the short-nosed dragon's eye, and as he chanted his spell, the enormous eyeball burst open like a watermelon.

"Thunderous Explosion (No Amplification)!"

He didn't stop, continuing to use Explosive Charms on the short-nosed dragon's already blasted-out eye sockets, until yellowish-white brain matter splattered out. The short-nosed dragon's howls grew weaker and weaker until it finally fell silent.

Ivanov showed no emotion at the death of the dragon beneath him. For an experienced wizard, dragons were nothing special; even a novice wizard who hadn't graduated yet could easily outwit them with a little cleverness.

He hadn't expected that bringing an extra dragon would cause Lynn too much trouble.

Ivanov was still wearing a black robe, but he looked noticeably different from when Lynn last saw him.

The most obvious change was in his eyes; his pupils had turned completely pure white, and faint black energy constantly appeared and dissipated around his body.

On the contrary, the leg that Lynn had broken with his own foot earlier was completely indistinguishable from a normal person's leg under the cover of the robe.

"Where did you hide Shayk?"

His voice was as cold as before, but it sounded somewhat different.

Lynn didn't answer his question, but instead looked at the wooden house that had been burned to ashes with amusement: "Ruslan is really pathetic. He made such a big decision to betray his friends in exchange for his daughter's future, but you have no intention of keeping your promise and even want to kill him and his daughter together."

"Killing them is a relief compared to their fate if they survive," Ivanov said expressionlessly.

"Clap clap clap".

Lynn applauded in amazement at his shamelessness.

"Wow, your logic is brilliant!"

Despite Lynn's mockery, Ivanov remained completely unmoved, staring coldly at Lynn.

"So who exactly are you? And why are you helping Shayk?"

"Haven't you realized yet, Chief?" Lynn looked at him with a smile, "From the very beginning, I wasn't helping her, but you."

Ivanov stared intently at Lynn, and after a moment, he confirmed once again that he did not recognize this face in his memory.

"I don't know you. If you want to know something from me, you can tell me. As long as you hand over Shayk, I can tell you anything."

This time, he seemed genuinely interested in negotiating with Lynn, unlike last time when he used the pretext of negotiations to infiltrate Lynn's mind.

"Oh? So you're genuinely interested in talking to me this time? Let me guess why." Lynn looked at Ivanov with a half-smile. "Are you afraid that Yelena really has escaped from Goose Country, and that the minority groups other than the Sloans have started declaring independence, leading to a split in the Soviet magical world?"

Yelena is of great significance to those ethnic minorities who want to break away from the magical world of the Soviet Union.

All the other minority wizards were waiting; they needed one of their ethnic groups to step forward and draw the attention of the Soviet Magic Council. The Chur people, who were the largest and suffered the same oppression as them, were the ones who would be the first to step forward.

The only person with the highest prestige among the Chur tribe, and whom all factions are willing to recommend as Minister of Magic, has yet to escape from Goose Kingdom.
