A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 1083 Titans

dark,

Like a cage,

It enveloped the heavens and the earth.

A faint light shone from the tip of the wand, but like the little matchstick that sold the girl, it struggled for a moment before burning out completely.

Darkness descended once more.

Hermione shook her wand, her face full of worry, and said, "I'm out of magic too."

William sighed softly and looked up at the starless sky.

Before entering the Land of Death, he thought the danger might come from the Grim Reaper, wandering spirits, or even dangerous monsters from the underworld...

But to everyone's surprise, the first and most deadly danger came from the darkness.

underworld,

The sky was devoid of stars, as if in eternal night, utterly dark, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

That would be fine, but for a wizard, a "flickering light" can solve all problems.

But... William soon discovered that this place was very different from the magical world.

Using the same magic in the underworld will consume more magic power.

such as……

With his current powerful magic, he could illuminate the magical world continuously for a whole day using the most powerful fluorescent flashes.

Here, after only half an hour, all the magic power in my body was exhausted, and my mana bar returned to zero.

It felt like holding a mobile phone; when you first bought it, you could stay awake all day even while watching videos.

Now, if you turn off the screen and leave it in standby mode, and occasionally check the time, the battery will be dead in half a day.

Who can withstand this?!

However, sunlight is essential.

Humans cannot live in a dark environment for long; it is too oppressive.

There was no light, and we couldn't see the surroundings or road signs at all.

Once you encounter a fork in the road over water, you might go straight ahead and even get lost.

William also tried night vision potions, but they didn't work.

That thing can give you the same vision at night as during the day, but... it still needs a faint reflection of light.

Just like animals that can see at night, the sky actually has starlight or moonlight; it's not completely black.

Of course, William also has the Philosopher's Stone as a giant power bank.

But at this terrifying rate of consumption, the magic power consumed from the Philosopher's Stone during a single trip would likely be considerable.

This is a magical item that William crafted using his lifespan; it's too... extravagant to simply use it for lighting.

But it seems there is no other way.

William even used the Deluminator made by Dumbledore, but the light stored inside was quickly consumed.

He lay in the golden coffin, gazing up at the dark sky, and began to miss that brilliant starry sky.

Humans fear the dark; this is a message etched into our DNA since ancient times, passed down from generation to generation.

Even the faintest light can bring peace of mind.

A night without stars is so unsettling.

If William were to stay in such an environment for a year or two, he would probably go insane.

Hermione sat with her knees bent, placing her bare feet on William's feet, feeling his body heat to give her a moment of security.

She rested her chin on her knees, lost in thought, then suddenly smiled sweetly and said:

"William, I have an idea!"

William paused for a moment, then squeezed out the last bit of magic from his body, and the tip of his wand lit up again.

Using the brief glimmer of light, Hermione pulled five glittering gems from the safety watch.

In the night sky, they shone like starlight, emitting a soft glow that pierced the darkness.

——The Silmaril!

William acquired it on Werewolf Island four years ago.

There was an accident at the time, and the diamond broke into seven pieces.

One of the pieces was given to Dumbledore, who placed it in his sister Ariana's tomb.

William took the other piece and made a one-time deal with that old woman, Vivian.

The remaining five rings are with Hermione; she plans to use them as her wedding rings when she gets married.

Unexpectedly, the starlight absorbed by the jewel could be released here for a long time.

What a surprise!

It seems that this so-called Fairy Diamond is also a treasure that came from the underworld to the magical world.

With this thing, I feel much more at ease.

Hermione placed the four jewels at the four corners of the golden coffin, like streetlights.

She left another one inside the safety watch, just in case of an accident, and as a spare.

William suddenly heard a sound coming from underwater, and he looked down by the starlight.

He thought it was an attack by the dead, but to his surprise, they all seemed to be afraid of the golden coffin and stayed away from it, wandering at the bottom of the River Styx.

The voice that had just been made came from a group of strange-looking creatures:

They are small in size, like children of a few years old, or like apes, and their bodies are covered with hair.

Could it be the legendary...water monkey?!

When they saw William stick his head out, they let out fierce, eerie howls, as if they wanted to drag him into the River Styx, but were afraid of the starlight and dared not approach.

With the combined buffs of being a legendary master of magical creature breeding and a fishing expert...

William was itching to get his hands on one and the idea of ​​raising it came to mind.

This is a water monkey! A rare creature I've never seen before in the magical world!

"William, look over there!" Hermione suddenly pointed.

Two green stars hang in the distant sky.

It twinkles and sparkles.

So there are stars in this world.

But William's expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"Those are two eyes, they're Titans!"

It was indeed a Titan. The golden coffin continued to drift, and a row of rocky ridges suddenly rose up, but there was a gap in front of it, where a giant stood.

Giants in the magical world are at most six or seven meters tall, and compared to this Titan, they are as short as newborn babies.

He was over fifty meters tall, with green light flashing in his eyes and long green hair flying in the wind.

He placed his feet on either side of the gap, each foot resting on a mountain, his broad shoulders looming over the rugged peaks.

The giant wore a green bronze battle skirt around his waist, his breastplate was also bronze, he wore a crown-adorned half-helmet, and his flowing hair was made of green-dyed hemp rope.

One of his hands was resting on the left ridge, while the other finger was pinching a huge rock.

As the golden coffin drew closer to the ridge, the Titan's body became increasingly terrifying.

William also saw that the huge breastplate was covered with stains, all of which were the nests of giant seabirds.

Titan let out a huge roar.

His booming voice, befitting his size, was terrifying, even drowning out the mournful cries of the spirits at the bottom of the river.

Thousands of terrifying birds simultaneously soared into the air.

They circled the golden coffin, but dared not approach.

William used to think that the white dragon, the red dragon, and even the Kraken were all so huge that they must be kings and rulers in the underworld, right?

Now, any giant is fifty or sixty meters tall. Killing a white dragon is a piece of cake for them.

And these giant seabirds also look extremely dangerous.

Without this golden coffin, they would probably be dead long ago.

William had previously thought that after things were settled, he would follow the example of the Four Great Leaders and bring Hermione here for a tour.

Forget it... It's too damn dangerous!

As the Titan receded into the distance, the mountain ridges on either side gradually disappeared, the wind subsided, and the golden coffin entered a large lagoon.

A coral reef rises ahead, resembling a spiky fist protruding from the water.

William glanced at the map of the Book of Two Roads under the starlight.

He discovered that he had arrived at a place that was also mentioned in the Tales of Beedle the Bard.

——Good Luck Spring.
