#372 - Chapter 372 Transfiguration Feast

Eye-blinding curse?

Sebastian, sitting on his flying broom, revealed a strange expression.

If he remembered correctly, Krum had used the Eye-blinding Curse in the original work to pass the first task.

He used the Eye-blinding Curse to hit the dragon, causing it to struggle in pain, and then took the golden egg while taking advantage of the situation.

It's just that the dragon crushed many dragon eggs in its pain, which led to a lot of points being deducted in the end.

In Sebastian's opinion, the Eye-blinding Curse was not a good idea.

Similar to a Muggle's fist directly hitting the enemy's eyes, the Eye-blinding Curse, although it would bring temporary loss of vision and severe pain, was not enough to make the dragon fall to the ground.

In fact, this spell was originally intended to help early wizards temporarily block the dragon's sight when hunting dragons, causing the dragon to lose its mind, and then they could calmly find a place to kill the dragon.

Now, very few people use this simple and crude method anymore, after all, dragons are rare economic protected animals, and no one is willing to waste them like this.

Sebastian looked at the six golden eggs neatly placed together under the dragon and silently mourned for Krum and the others in advance.

This competition is about snatching golden eggs, once the dragon goes berserk due to severe pain, it won't care so much.

These three champions are likely to fail, the only question is how many of these six golden eggs will be left.

At this moment, the three champions in the arena had dodged the spherical flames spewed out by the dragon, and then dispersed to begin their attacks.

The basics of Krum and the other two were indeed solid, and they quickly hit the dragon's eyes with the Eye-blinding Curse.

Seeing this, Karkaroff stood up directly and shouted, "Well done!"

Bagman's commentary sounded at the same time: "Amazing, only five minutes into the competition, the Durmstrang champions have already caused damage to the dragon, plunging it into pain."

"This is the fastest champion team to inflict damage on the dragon since the start of the competition."

"Not good!" Bagman exclaimed, "The dragon is starting to struggle, it crushed three golden eggs with one foot, I don't know if the Durmstrang champions can salvage the remaining golden eggs."

"Oh, too bad... all the remaining golden eggs have been crushed too."

"The competition is over, it's a pity, the Durmstrang team didn't get a single golden egg."

Amidst the audience's sighs, Karkaroff's expression stiffened, and he heavily sat back in his chair.

"Karkaroff," Ilvermorny Headmaster Agilbert said with a smile, "The performance of your school's champions is indeed very impressive."

"It's just that they don't seem to like golden eggs, they didn't even think about providing protection for those golden eggs when attacking the dragon."

"You!" Karkaroff's face completely darkened, he really wanted to leave in a huff, but considering the live broadcast, he could only endure it.

Seeing this, Agilbert felt extremely happy in his heart.

Let you, Karkaroff, laugh at my students just now, now the tables have turned, you can't laugh anymore, right?

The dragon tamers quickly entered the arena and began to clean up the mess left by the Durmstrang team.

Soon, the tidied-up arena welcomed the champions from Uagadou.

The three champions from Uagadou displayed breathtaking transfiguration skills as soon as they appeared.

They waved their wands, which looked like sticks, and the stones moved accordingly, turning into various animals—a pouncing wolf, a swift eagle, a majestic lion, and a nimble monkey.

Each animal quickly approached the dragon from different directions, waiting for an opportunity to seize the golden egg.

The Swedish Short-Snout Dragon impatiently flicked its tail, its metallic scales gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Faced with these provocative little reptiles, it let out a deafening roar, and scorching dragon fire spewed out.

Unlike the flames of other dragons, this flame was a dazzling blue, with extremely high temperature, and almost instantly devoured the transfigured animals, turning them into ashes.

However, the Uagadou champions didn't care about this.

With calm expressions, they summoned new animals with a wave of their wands, scattering like a continuous stream of small armies.

Wolves, leopards, eagles, and foxes took turns, constantly approaching the golden eggs, skillfully dodging the attacks of the dragon's tail and claws.

Each animal was like a carefully designed 'bait', making the dragon dazzled and exhausted.

The Uagadou champions were single-minded, their eyes gleaming with focus, seemingly wanting to rely on this transfiguration technique to cleverly steal the golden eggs from the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon's protection.

"Wonderful, the Uagadou champions have brought us a wonderful transfiguration feast right from the start."

How could the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon endure such stimulation? The repeated provocations had already pushed its patience to the limit.

It lowered its head, and a blue flame suddenly sprayed towards the chains that bound it.

Within a short half-minute, the hard metal had been baked red by the scorching high temperature and gradually softened.

Along with a deafening roar, the dragon struggled with all its might, and the chains snapped in response.

At this point, the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon regained its freedom.

It roared excitedly, spewed out a piece of blue dragon flame, instantly engulfing the transfigured animals around it.

Then, it spread its huge wings and rushed towards the three champions of Uagadou.

It was very sure that it was these annoying wizards who were manipulating these little reptiles to tease it, and it must make them pay the price.

"Merlin, the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon is flying up," Bagman shouted excitedly, "I wonder how the Uagadou champions will deal with this crisis?"

"Akinbad," Karkaroff began to show his presence again, "Dragons flying in the sky are much more dangerous than dragons crawling on the ground, are you sure you don't want to call a stop?"

"No need," Uagadou Headmaster Akinbad said calmly, "My students have never lacked the courage to deal with crises, nor do they lack the wisdom to adapt to circumstances, they can handle everything in front of them well."

Faced with the attacking dragon, the three students of Uagadou dispersed, turning into a vulture, a black panther, and a chimpanzee, and mixed into the animals in the arena that had not yet been destroyed by the dragon.

The audience in the stands let out bursts of exclamations, all stunned by the actions of the Uagadou champions.

"Look, the Uagadou champions are all Animagi, this is really amazing!"

Bagman's commentary spread throughout the arena: "Amusu, who turned into a vulture, is facing the dragon head-on, he is provoking the dragon, he wants to use his movement to lure the dragon away, creating opportunities for his companions."

"The dragon has been fooled and started to climb straight up with Amusu."

"Now is the best opportunity!"

The Uagadou champions Musa and Bakari did not waste time, they came to the dragon eggs and transformed back into human form, casting complex hand gesture magic to start testing the golden eggs.

"The golden eggs are enchanted, it is not easy to quickly detect the valid golden eggs, and the champion team can only pick up three of them."

"Because once three golden eggs are picked up, the competition will automatically end, so the champions must be cautious."

Bagman's voice rang out again: "Not good, the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon has discovered Musa and Bakari next to the golden eggs, it has given up chasing Amusu and is swooping down from the sky."

"Now it depends on whether the Uagadou champions can seize the opportunity."
