My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 186, Section 183: The Tool Bird

The silent man was incredibly fast. Lynn instinctively dodged as soon as he saw him rushing towards him, but he barely avoided a head-on collision. The ethereal black wind slammed heavily onto the grass beside him, creating a loud commotion like an explosion.

The aftershocks spread, and Lynn was thrown more than five meters away.

As soon as he landed on the ground, before he could even catch his breath, he reached out and fired an explosive spell. Unfortunately, Ivanov was faster than him, and the black phantom disappeared from the spot a moment before the explosion.

Lynn caught a glimpse of the black mist's next move out of the corner of his eye. Its target was still him, and its offensive showed no sign of stopping.

This time, Lynn was finally unable to dodge his attack. He only had time to turn to the side before Ivanov, in his Silent form, crashed into his back.

Lynn felt as if he had been hit on the back with a sledgehammer, and he rolled on the ground like a rag doll a dozen times before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough cough cough."

He supported himself with one hand on the ground, half-kneeling, coughed heavily a few times, and then spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground.

The constant pain in his back reminded him that several of his bones were broken. Lynn gritted his teeth and quickly pulled a bottle of potion from his pocket, gulping it down.

During this period, Ivanov did not press his advantage, because he had already won.

Lynn's wand broke as he rolled, the two halves now lying scattered on the grass, the black heartstrings of the Thestrals gleaming with a dark light at the broken ends.

Ivanov slowly floated to Lynn's front.

"I told you, you have no idea of ​​the Obscurial's immense power."

Lynn secretly flexed his fingers, then gave a bleak smile.

"Strong, indeed very strong."

"But you are no longer qualified to do business with me. I can find Yelena myself."

The black mist dispersed and spread around Lynn, as if it wanted to completely envelop him. Finally, Lynn saw a pair of emotionless eyes in the black mist!

The black mist materialized into a tangible hand that gripped his neck, and then a bottle of potion with its cork already removed floated in front of his face.

Lynn struggled to reach out his arm and pointed his middle finger at the pair of eyes in the black mist. He opened his mouth as if to say something.

"Save your last words for the next life." Ivanov gave Lynn no chance to speak, tightening his grip on his neck and preparing to force the truth serum into his mouth.

Suddenly, light shone from Lynn's fingertips!

It was a deep red light, and the next moment after the light flashed, a red magic beam suddenly shot out from his fingertips!

Fainted and collapsed (doubled boost)!

The distance between Lynn and Ivanov was less than half a meter. At such close range, and with Ivanov completely unprepared, the stun spell cast silently and without a staff struck Ivanov, who was hiding in the black mist, directly!

The pair of cold eyes in the black mist were filled with shock and resentment the moment they closed.

He never imagined that after so many encounters with Lynn, he would still have a hidden trick up his sleeve. Spellcasting without a wand is not a high-level skill, because even a child who has just shown magical talent can use magic without a wand. But the significance of using spells without a wand is different.

The amplified Stun Spell was very powerful. Although the Obscurial's magic resistance was holding it back, the spell still hit Ivanov's physical form directly. The hand formed by the black mist dissipated, and the bottle of Truth Potion that was about to be poured into Lynn's mouth fell to the ground.

Lynn had just been released and, without even catching his breath, hurriedly picked up the bottle of potion that had fallen to the ground.

We can't waste this; we'll have to give Ivanov a mouthful later.

Fortunately, Lynn was quick enough to save most of the Truth Potion from spilling too much. Just as Lynn was holding the potion with satisfaction, preparing to begin the formal interrogation of Ivanov...

Meanwhile, Mo Mo Ran on the other side made another unusual move.

Ivanov's consciousness fell into slumber, so the Obscurus's own chaotic consciousness regained dominance, just like when Lynn first expelled the Obscurus from his body.

The black mist rose into the air again, flying and crashing around like a naughty child, before finally disappearing into the distant sky right before Lynn's eyes!

Silently, she ran away with Ivanov!

Lynn was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, completely unable to accept that his prey had escaped.

Without hesitation, he decisively plucked Fox's feather, and a red light flashed, with the phoenix appearing in front of it in the next second.

He himself flew too slowly in his raven form; Fox, who could Apparate, had to keep up with him first.

Fox had just teleported from Lan Kingdom to Lynn's side, and before it could even react, a feather was gone from its body in a flash.

The phoenix froze for a moment, and before it could recover, it heard the human with fish-like lips in front of it speaking rapidly.

"Follow that black mist, and don't lose it. When I start plucking your feathers, come back and immediately bring me to that black mist. Good luck, Fawkes. When we get back to Hogwarts, I'll catch you some bugs to eat."

I don't eat insects!

Before Fox could finish his internal monologue, Lynn slapped him on the head and sent him away.

It came over looking completely bewildered, and left looking just as bewildered, living like a mere tool bird.

Lynn paced back and forth, trying to figure out how to deal with the Obscurus. Unconscious Obscurus was undoubtedly more difficult to catch than Ivanov's consciously controlled one.

Because Ivanov had a purpose, Lynn could steal and cheat, just like the way he caught him twice. He certainly couldn't match Ivanov in terms of raw strength, but when it came to hiding his cards and scheming, ten Ivanovs couldn't compare to him.

But now his opponent is no longer Ivanov, but an incapable of thinking, so this method can no longer be used.

To catch it, there must be a prerequisite: it must be able to use spells while flying.

Of all the magic Lynn currently possesses, only a modified Animagus can achieve such an effect. But unfortunately, he hasn't learned it yet.

Lynn didn't want to miss this opportunity again. Yelena had already been sent to Lan Country by him. Not only was there no bait left, but he could also tell from Ivanov's words that he wouldn't have many days left to live after the silent eruption.

In other words, this is his only chance.

Lynn was not an indecisive person. He didn't hesitate for long before deciding to try to improve Animagus again. Even if he failed, he would have Disguise Magus as a backup, so he wouldn't become a half-human, half-beast and unable to turn back.

There are risks, but compared to this opportunity, they are nothing.
