Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 408 Showdown

Morris hid in the top of a tall tree, silently recovering his supernatural abilities.

Just now, David transformed in time to withstand the grenade, and the five-legged monster's attack from both sides did surprise him, but Morris was not particularly nervous.

Because his teleportation ability is actually enough to teleport four times in a very short time, the reason David saw three times in the replay is that against ordinary enemies, three teleports are usually enough to defeat them.

Not far away, the five-legged monster was already entangled with the giant wolf that David had transformed into.

The five-legged monster looks like a gorilla with five legs, covered in reddish-brown fur, with its torso and head almost fused together, and a large face full of sharp teeth that looks quite frightening.

Ordinary five-legged monsters are only half a person's height, but this one is more than two meters tall, with each hairy foot as thick as an elephant's leg. Even the giant wolf that David transformed into looked rather small in front of it.

The five-legged monster was already an extremely dangerous and ferocious creature. After being corrupted and mutated by magic, it became even more savage, almost completely irrational, and would pounce on any living thing and tear it apart.

Fortunately, although the giant wolf was huge, it was very agile and escaped from the five-legged monster's claws several times, even biting it back a few times. However, the five-legged monster's fur was much tougher than the giant wolf's, and David's bites only left a few shallow bloody holes in its body, without causing much damage.

David quickly realized this and decided not to continue fighting the five-legged monster, but to shake it off first.

But Morris wasn't going to let David leave so easily. He estimated the extent of David's recovery and felt that he should be able to teleport twice more in a row to deal with emergencies. So he pulled out a large-caliber sniper rifle from the seamless tactical backpack behind him, took a quick aim, and pulled the trigger.

David had just kicked away the five-legged monster and was about to turn and run away when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of light ahead. Startled, he twisted his body sharply, but was still shot in the shoulder, causing him to stagger and almost fall. The five-legged monster behind him pounced on him and bit his forelimb.

His body was restrained, and Maurice would never fire just this one shot.

David suddenly roared and dragged the five-legged monster with all his might, throwing it in front of him.

"Bang!" Sure enough, another bullet hit the five-legged monster, causing it to roar. David then pulled his arm out of the monster's mouth, stood up, and with a sudden burst of strength, flipped the monster over like a crab.

Morris was startled, not expecting David to be so powerful after transforming. At the same time, he was delighted, as everyone knew that the five-legged monster's lower abdomen was its weak point, as it was almost entirely covered by soft fur.

He picked up his sniper rifle and fired another shot, this time to force David away. At the same time, he teleported above the five-legged monster and threw down two high-explosive grenades.

In the simulated battle of the competition mode, whoever kills the level boss wins.

"Boom! Boom!" After two explosions, large chunks of flesh and blood exploded beneath the five-legged monster, which screamed sharply and struggled violently, yet it was not dead for the time being.

Just as Morris was about to throw two more grenades, David suddenly pounced on him from the side.

Morris frowned, threw two grenades at David, and then teleported away. However, David's body had shrunk by half, turning into a half-human, half-wolf werewolf. He picked up the shield again and slammed it down, sending the grenades flying towards the direction Morris had teleported to.

Startled, the latter teleported again and used the same trick, taking out a rain machine gun to spray bullets at David. But David seemed to have anticipated his move, suddenly turning around and slamming his shield into the ground, blocking the bullets once more.

Morris snorted and immediately understood the other party's intention. He wanted to use the shield as cover to create a safe position so that he could lean against the shield and avoid being blocked by his teleportation.

But even so, what can he do? His teleportation ability is said to come from a magical animal called the Ball Bird, which is extremely fast, just like a teleport in a game. Even if David were to shoot at him, he is confident that he can teleport away.

Now that his teleportation ability has been basically restored, he has three more chances to teleport consecutively, which is equivalent to three life-saving charms. He doesn't believe that David can really hurt him.

Thinking of this, he teleported above David's head again, dropped the last grenade, and then, without looking, teleported behind the shield again. Just as he was about to fire, he was surprised to find that there was no one behind the shield.

But at that moment, a furry claw suddenly stretched out from behind a tree and grabbed his neck with lightning speed.

Morris instinctively tried to teleport, but the last bit of magic in his body vanished instantly. He remained in the same spot, where David swung him around and slammed him to the ground.

"Bang!"

Morris was hit so hard that he saw stars, and his throat felt like it had been snapped, making it hard to breathe. His mind was a mess, and he couldn't understand why David was there, or how the other person had guessed that he would teleport there.

David slammed his knee into Morris's throat, then drew a dagger from his tactical belt and held it to Morris's neck.

"Your teleportation distance is fifteen meters. You always get stuck at this limit, probably because you're worried that you won't be able to react if you get too close. But by repeating the same fixed attack pattern, I can roughly determine your location as long as I guess where you might appear."

"After I planted the shield in the ground, I ran behind that tree while the shield was blocking your view and waited. Your teleportation ability is very strong, but it seems that you can teleport with anything close to your body. However, you can't carry something as heavy as a person, so as long as it touches your body, you can't teleport."

Morris realized that this was a difference in experience; his opponent had far more combat experience than he did.

"Ahem, but how could you possibly guess where I'd teleport to?" Morris asked, puzzled.

"Elena's ability is that of a ghost wolf. She can become invisible and is very fast. Her fighting style is similar to yours; she always likes to circle around from behind," David said.

Morris remembered the brown-skinned woman who had been with David earlier; this must be the woman David was referring to.

"Alright," Morris sighed, "I lost."

David smiled, removed the knee pressing on his neck, and was about to say something when suddenly the earth trembled, and a huge figure rushed over. It was a five-legged monster. It looked miserable, but it had already rolled over and its eyes were fixed on Morris. This was the guy who had injured him earlier.

Since "holographic simulation" actually injects the user's mind into a mental network, it cannot be easily exited once started.

To exit the simulation, in addition to meeting the conditions for victory or defeat, you also need to be out of combat. Otherwise, it can easily cause memory confusion. If you can't distinguish between reality and simulation when facing monsters in reality, and you still want to exit, then you're doomed.

Unable to quit easily, David was naturally unwilling to fail the simulation. Seeing the five-legged monster charging towards him, he instinctively ran to the side and fired several shots at the monster in an attempt to attract its attention.

But the five-legged monster stared at Maurice, looking as if it was determined to devour him.

David paused for a moment, then saw Morris struggling to his feet and trying to escape. His appearance reminded him of another former teammate.

Even though he knew it was just a simulation, David roared and suddenly charged forward again, reaching into his backpack and throwing the entire backpack into the mouth of the five-legged monster with its mouth wide open.

He was then swallowed whole by the charging five-legged monster.

The next moment, "Boom!"

The five-legged monster was blasted into a shower of blood and flesh, and Maurice stared blankly at the words "Victor, Maurice!" in the air.
