Chapter 253

Lambston had burns, but it wasn't too serious and he was still able to move. But if the status quo is not changed, Lymston will still be burned to death by Richie's flames.

Solim kept using the flame shapeshifts to attack Richie and Remston, which kept the two of them scrambling, but they were properly trained, and they soon came up with a solution.

The flames were summoned by Richie, and he could easily change their form. The ring of fire was enlarged, and the serpents kept retreating under the pressure of the flames. Seeing this scene, Solim was a little familiar, wasn't this the trick he used to deal with the eight-eyed giant spider in the first place?

It's not new, but it's surprisingly good. The flames were now much farther away from the two of them than they had been before, giving them enough distance and time to react to Solim's attack.

Seeing the ring of fire expand, Solim also changed his ways. I don't deform the flame as often as before, because it doesn't work at all, and the maintenance of the flame requires the consumption of mana, and dragging it out will only benefit me more and more. All I need to do is prevent the two of them from slipping away with the portkey.

As soon as Richie takes out the Portkey and has any intention of activating it, Solim will immediately ramp up his offensive to interrupt the Portkey's activation, and the two sides will once again enter a boring standoff. When the Portkey's cooldown has elapsed and Richie tries to activate it again, Solim will ramp up his efforts to keep Richie and Lemston scrambling for a while.

It's despicable, it's dishonorable, maybe, but it's practical.

Solim is not a Gryffindor, and he pays attention to the rules and demeanor of a one-on-one duel. He's a Slytherin, and as long as he can take down his enemies, he doesn't care what kind of means he uses. Besides, Solim might be able to beat one of them one-on-one, but there were two of them, and Solim didn't think that the other would honestly watch while he was one-on-one.

The current situation is very awkward for the two of them. They wanted to fight, but Solim didn't give them that chance at all, and just kept harassing them with Transfiguration. Since they can't fight, let's go, but Solim didn't give them a chance to activate the portkey, and Solim's meaning was already obvious: if you want to go, okay, go out of the Forbidden Forest honestly, and if you want to use the portkey, no way.

The fool knew that something would happen if he walked out of the Forbidden Forest now, but Rich and Lemston had no other way now.

As soon as Richie summons the flames, the surrounding snakes will swarm up, and the amulet charm can resist magic and even physical attacks, but it is defenseless against creatures such as snakes. Although the further Iron Armor Spell can resist the attack of the snakes, once the Iron Armor Charm is protected, Rich and the others cannot use any attack methods, unless the Iron Armor Charm is lifted or the Iron Armor Charm is broken. Being beaten passively is not what they want.

But now the stalemate is even more detrimental to them, Remston has been injured, which will inevitably affect his fighting ability, and the maintenance of the flames will continue to drain Richie's magic, and Solim will see an opportunity to harass him. The longer it drags on, the slimmer their hope of leaving.

"Saki, you don't need that much fire! don't you have enough mana?" Lemston felt the fire around him grow brighter and brighter.

"Damn! It's that bastard's trick! Otto, we have to find a way to get out of here!"

Richie and Lemston were already black, sweat mixed with the ashes that had drifted around after the burning left clear marks on their faces. As they are now, some people believe them when they pull them out and say that they are digging coal.

The fire grew stronger and stronger, and it was naturally Solim's doing. Sticking to Richie's ring of fire, Solim's fire was eroding their range of movement, and the ring of fire that Richie maintained was being pushed back by Solim little by little.

Richie may have more magic than Solim, but the fact that this situation now only shows that Richie is inferior to Solim, a wizard who is a few years younger than him, in the subtle manipulation of magic. More and more of the flames that originally belonged to Richie were "snatched" by Solim, who turned around and attacked the original owner.

The situation is quite bad, and if no action is taken, the two of Richie will be burned here, but before that they will faint from the lack of oxygen, and now the two of Richie have a bubble head charm on their heads, but this can only be done for a while. The flames raging in the clearing had taken away a lot of oxygen, and the oxygen that had been replenished from all around it would not reach the place where Richie and the others were consumed by the flames.

Bigger and more flames meant a bigger threat to Richie and Limston, who knew that the situation was running out and that they had to fight.

Climbing up the stone building behind them to dodge was not even on the back of Richie's mind for even a second. There were too many plants attached to the building to burn, and if they did, it would be difficult for them to get down. Their only chance now was to storm the Forbidden Forest, and Solim, as a Hogwarts student, would not let the fire spread into the forest, and even if he didn't do it, the burning Forbidden Forest would hinder Solim's actions. So - rushing into the Forbidden Forest is the only way out.

Now that the policy has been decided, the next step is to implement it.

Extinguishing the flames is a trivial matter, and it is also a trivial matter not to get hurt by breaking into a group of snakes. The only thing that worries Richie and Remston is Solim's actions, and there is no doubt that Solim will definitely strike during their journey into the Forbidden Forest. But the form waits for no one, and when the time comes, it depends on who is more skilled.

Neither Rich nor Lemston extinguished the flames, and they temporarily protected themselves with a fire spell - which didn't last long. The Fire Charm is used to ward off mortal fire, not demonic fire, which is made of magical power, and although the Fire Spell only lasts for a short time in the fire, it is enough to break out of the ring of fire.

Under the cover of the flames, Richie and Lemston rushed out, and then Lemston waved his wand loudly, and the snakes on the road in front of them were blown away by the strong wind, and the two of them rushed into the Forbidden Forest with the help of the cleared road.

What puzzled the two of them was that Solim didn't make a move, not even a stun spell...... It's as if Solim has left.

How is this possible!

The two quickly rejected this childish idea, since it was not leaving, it could only be - a trap.

As soon as Richie and the others rushed into the Forbidden Forest, they began to become extremely cautious. The dimly lit place is not friendly to wizards who rely on sight, but it is not an obstacle for snakes.

The rustling around them was loud again, and the two of them knew very well what that meant—countless snakes were surging towards them. The two of them looked at each other and ran, it was clear that there was no time to activate the portkey, and Solim's whereabouts were uncertain, so he couldn't tell what dark corner he was waiting for.
