Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse...

Chapter 321 I have already secured an invincible position!

And so, under Avada's transformation spell, the scattered pebbles quickly floated up and transformed into birds in mid-air. They chirped loudly as they flew around the angry Ukrainian Iron Belly, circling merrily at a height just out of its reach when it craned its neck, as if mocking its constricted wings. Occasionally, they would even hurl down unidentified objects, which, under Avada's control, were specifically aimed at the dragon's nostrils...

The rage effect of this move even overshadowed the curse on the cloak.

"roar!"

At first, when only a few birds were circling its head, the fire dragon ignored the annoying little creatures, focusing entirely on the tiny thing that kept emitting an irritating aura and was impossible to hit. Even after its head was covered by a large flock of wailing birds, and its carapace was covered with white spots emitting a strange smell, it only slightly shook its locked wings in an attempt to drive away the annoying little creatures before continuing its pursuit of Avada—it seemed the curse on the cloak was indeed remarkably effective.

However, after a white, unidentified substance accurately hit one of the dragon's nostrils, and then caught another unexpected object as it roared, it finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Awooo—!!!"

With a roar filled with boundless rage that sent shivers down the spines of the spectators even through a barrier, the massive iron-bellied dragon suddenly raised its neck, which was over ten feet long. A blinding red light emanated from between its interlocking teeth, and the air around its mouth began to distort...

The next moment, a burst of scorching dragon flame, surrounded by rolling heat waves, shot out like a heaven-splitting sword, even crossing a distance of tens of meters and slamming hard into the barrier above, unleashing a terrifying roar!

The flock of birds that had been circling above its head were mostly wiped out without even a scream under this earth-shattering dragon's breath. The few survivors that remained flapped their wings in panic and flew back to circle above Avada's head...

"Alright, that's enough to let the fire dragon taste the sweetness. No, it seems it tasted more than just the sweetness..."

While enduring the deathly stare of the fire dragon's bloodshot eyes, and watching its massive, fortress-like body lower itself once more, like an arrow poised to be released, Avada felt a slight sense of relief: 'Besides, these birds can also serve as a kind of suggestion, making the fire dragon instinctively spit its breath at them the moment it sees them... But once might not be enough, it needs to provoke them a few more times like before, anyway, there's no time limit in the match... Hmm?'

Just as he was pondering and preparing to deal with the fire dragon's attack, several blue lights suddenly lit up in the open space between him and the fire dragon, many of which blocked the fire dragon's path of attack...

"Ha, not bad luck!"

The incredible assist from the terrain delighted Avada: "I was just thinking about how to make the fire dragon develop a psychological aversion to melee combat, and here comes the solid stone pillar—judging from the fire dragon's appearance, it's preparing to pounce, and then in three seconds, just as it pounces, the pillar will rise up, and it will directly ram its head into the solid stone pillar, smashing itself to pieces..."

"Plus, with the cues I create using Polymorph and the flock of birds, plus my constant awareness of maintaining distance... by the end of this round, this fire dragon will have become nothing more than a stationary turret that only knows how to stand still and unleash its breath!"

"Three, two, one..."

In the last moment before the stone pillar rose, he saw the furious fire dragon roaring and pushing off with all its might, dragging his body with terrifying force as it charged towards him. Even though Avada had already foreseen the outcome, he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

The next second, the solid stone pillar in front of him rose from the ground amidst a large expanse of blue light, completely blocking his view...

boom!

boom!

"Aww!!"

Hearing the three sounds coming from behind the stone pillar almost simultaneously, Avada smirked triumphantly—it worked.

After this collision, the fire dragon will inevitably be more cautious about the stone pillars rising from the ground. In addition, it has already tasted the benefits of using dragon breath attacks. As long as it is not unlucky enough to be stuck in the fire dragon's path when the charging stone pillar rises, it can use the Transfiguration Bird to guide the fire dragon's breath to charge its golden egg!

Wait, that's not right either—the charging pillar takes a full five seconds from emitting red light to rising. Even if it happens to be right in the path of the fire dragon's charge, he can still deal with it calmly and force the fire dragon to stand still and breathe on the pillar!

He has mastered the rhythm of this level and is now invincible!

Thinking of the smooth sailing ahead, Avada's lips curled up slightly again. Then, timing it perfectly, he quickly retreated a distance before the solid stone pillar retracted. While doing so, he collected the rubble on the ground to create more birds, letting them circle freely in the sky, waiting for his command at any time.

Rumble...

The solid stone pillar lasted only five seconds, so before the iron-bellied dragon could recover from its dazed state, it retracted into the ground with a rumbling sound. Upon discovering the obstacle had vanished, the fire dragon's eyes quickly refocused, locking onto the culprit that had repeatedly caused its humiliation in the distance. A disturbing growl escaped its throat, and its body glowed bright red…

"Hey, it's starting to use dragon breath reflexively now."

Avada chuckled: "The method we came up with before was correct. Controlling the dragon's mindset is the most crucial element in winning this match. Now we just have to see when the charging pillars appear..."

"Hey, wait a minute."

He blinked in confusion, "When a fire dragon is about to exhale, doesn't only its mouth emit red light? Why is it its entire body this time? Is there some hidden ultimate move...?"

"Wait, something's not right! The underground magical structure..."

"Holy crap, that red light isn't coming from the dragon, it's coming from the ground beneath its feet!!"

"No--"

Before Avada could even finish his scream, a massive, orange-red stone pillar suddenly rose from the ground beneath Iron Belly's feet, lifting its hundreds-of-tons-weight body several meters into the air...

"roar!"

The fire dragon was clearly startled, violently twisting its body. Its thick tail swept downwards, striking the stone pillar beneath it squarely. Then, its forelimbs, panicked by the sudden lift into the air, began to flailing wildly, each strike a sharp, razor-sharp blow to the pillar...

Click.

[The charging pillars are damaged; currently, only two remain. Warriors, please proceed with caution.]

"..."

Avada's smile vanished.
