My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 448, Section 445: Slaughter

Those dark, cloud-like things were all Dementors!

From the ground, it seems boundless, with no end in sight.

Hermione looked at the sheer number of monsters, her hands and feet went cold, and her face turned deathly pale.

A sense of desolation and despair seeped into her from all directions through the air, stealing away the little joy and hope she had left.

Lynn held Hermione's hand tightly, as if trying to convey some warmth to her through it.

He looked up at the horde of Dementors that obscured the entire starry sky, his gaze filled with indifference and chilling sharpness.

"Lyon Bellock, you'd better give up! You're under arrest!"

A Dementor, clearly the leader, was floating high in the sky and communicating with him in a strange way. Lynn could only manage a cold smile when he heard it.

"Who gave you the authority to arrest me? Which country's Ministry of Magic?"

The Dementor stopped speaking to him, and the army of Dementors gathered in Lynn's direction like a swarm of bees. The biting cold and the deathly despair came with the floating cold wind!

However, before they could get within ten meters of Lynn and Hermione, a soft silver light burst from the tip of Lynn's wand.

"Praetorian Guard (Double Boost)!"

The ball of light that exploded in front of Lynn instantly transformed into strands of light that resembled snakes, and a warm aura once again enveloped the land, with silver light, like sunlight, spreading outwards!

Bathed in such light, Hermione subconsciously loosened her arms, a warm smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

These silver lights were a good remedy for Hermione to dispel the chill, but to the Dementors they were like deadly spears piercing their chests!

Flying at the very front, the Dementors closest to Lynn instantly turned into a puff of gray smoke in the silver light!

Piercing howls echoed from all directions. The Dementors that were a little further away from Lynn were not as strongly affected by the silver light, but this was probably not a good thing for them either.

They did not die instantly, but the deep-seated pain tormented them relentlessly until they died.

The Guardian Charm had a remarkable effect, and Lynn did not remain where he was, waiting to die.

He said seriously to Hermione, "You must hold my hand tightly, and you must not let go no matter what."

Hermione's face regained some color, but her lips were still pale and swollen. Hearing Lynn's words, she nodded vigorously, her left hand tightly interlocking with Lynn's fingers.

Lynn held up his wand, which was constantly glowing silver, in one hand, and with the other hand, he took Hermione's hand and ran off in one direction.

Dementors are a group of creatures that are neither human nor ghost. Normal spells, including dark magic such as the Death Curse, have no effect on them. The only known nemesis against them is the Patronus Charm.

In fact, no matter how many Dementors there are, as long as Lynn summons his Guardian Tree, all of these monsters will die.

But he dared not gamble on the price of summoning the guardian.

This incident is clearly a premeditated plan by some organization. These overwhelming Dementors look terrifying, but they may just be the appetizer.

True wizards never considered monsters like Dementors as one of their own.

These things are like a bunch of disposable consumables. When they are useful, some prisoners will be locked up in prison and provided as food for them. When they are no longer useful, no one cares how many of them die.

Of course, the Dementors aren't exactly good people either. They're a bunch of traitors who'll follow whoever feeds them. As long as they're fed and housed, it doesn't matter who they listen to or follow.

Therefore, these Dementors are likely just a prelude to wear him down. Once he's exhausted, a large number of wizards will suddenly appear from nowhere to reap the benefits.

Lynn wasn't afraid of running out of stamina. His physique was extremely high, and his mana bar for using magic was also quite high. Even if he summoned his guardian spirit ten times in a row, it would only be a matter of taking a few more breaths.

What he was really worried about was the price of having his emotions stripped away after summoning the guardian spirit!

"Praetorian Guard (Double Boost)!"

Another massive silver light projectile exploded at the tip of Lynn's wand! Silver light threads raged continuously within a 10-meter radius around him!

A mournful wail rang out as the space around him was cleared into a large blank area, followed by a continuous stream of new Dementors rushing in.

These Dementors, having received some kind of promise, charged forward relentlessly despite the certain death, like minions in a Dynasty Warriors game constantly feeding the enemy, surging like a tidal wave against Lynn, who was heading straight for one place.

Lynn had suffered several times from not knowing how to Apparate, but he was certain that even if he had now mastered Apparition, he wouldn't be able to get out of here so easily.

Those people must have cast anti-appearance magic here, and the area is probably quite large.

He could only flee to one place. Lynn refused to believe that in the 21st century, with such widespread urbanization, as long as it wasn't in places like the Amazon rainforest or the Sahara Desert, there wouldn't be a normal residential area.

Once he finds a residential area, whether those wizards will dare to continue hunting him down despite the risk of violating the secrecy laws will depend on their own judgment.

Moreover, finding a place where people live would allow him to determine their exact location.

The Dementors are not truly endless.

With Lynn relentlessly using the Patronus Charm, the number of Dementors circling in the sky noticeably decreased.

But Hermione's face was flushed and she was panting heavily as Lynn kept pulling her along; her strength was clearly almost completely exhausted.

She doesn't have Lynn's abnormal physique, and besides, she's only 15 years old. Compared to Lynn, she's far inferior, even compared to normal adults.

Lynn pulled Hermione to a stop, then cast another Patronus Charm, creating a vacuum around them, and shielded Hermione behind him.

"We're not running anymore."

He raised his wand and aimed it at the Dementor leader, who was hovering in mid-air, constantly directing his minions to their deaths while he himself leisurely followed above Lynn, watching the spectacle.

"I'll stand here and see if your men die first, or if my spell fails to activate first!"
