Chapter 80 In the Shadow of the Centaur
When Hagrid and the others saw the white light coming from the direction of Harry and his group, they were already heading this way, not to mention that they met Yaya who came back for help on the way.
Arriving at the scene, Ron immediately threw out the chess pieces except the throne chess piece.
Harry and the others had shields, but the three people who rushed over didn't!
They are here to support, not to deliver food.
"[Shi Zhen moves out]!"
Although it sounds like a curse, it's really just a password.
This command removes the shrinking spell on the chess pieces and restores them to their own size.
Fortunately, Ron threw the chess piece over in advance,
Blocked the killing curse for Harry and Malfoy,
But this is also in Ron's calculation,
He is a qualified chess player and is prepared to face all the enemy's traps. This is just a basic skill.
The fatal blow was blocked by the statue that suddenly appeared, and Voldemort was also furious.
What kind of Shi Zhen is dispatched! Is that Shi Zhen of yours?
The life-killing curse just now has brightness. Your stone wall can reflect light!
Those two twelve-foot-tall, one-to-one replicas of the Purple Horned Beast statues just swallowed up the Death Curse!
Voldemort was confident that even if his death curse hit the steel plate,
You can use your solidifying magic power to make a dent in the steel plate.
The two purple-horned beasts left no trace at all. That dark blue color must be O'Hara steel!
Orichalcum, mithril, fine gold,
Voldemort swallowed. He originally thought it was outrageous to meet two guys who used precious magic metals as consumables and casually spent thousands of galleons tonight.
The value of these dozen chess pieces is even more ridiculous, almost as much as the Lestrange family's treasury.
This was after Voldemort calculated the value of their family's various shares and land deeds.
Ron didn't know that he had shocked the Dark Lord.
Although he used the money ability given to him by Raven.
Here Ron is still arranging the chess pieces in the direction where they should be according to his own ideas.
The armor chessmen maintain their formation at the front,
The Wise Man's chess and the Unicorn's chess, which broke the demons and defenses, were behind the two purple-horned beasts. One on the left and one on the right, the two purple-horned beasts charged toward Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort.
And the witch chess piece got into the shield where Harry and Malfoy were. On the one hand, it protected them from possible life-killing curses. On the other hand, it was under Ron's control and amplified his curse.
〔Ygardim Leviosa〕
As expected, this is what Ron is most familiar with,
Although it is a very basic magic, with the increase of Witch Chess, this spell becomes particularly terrifying.
The tree trunks that had been blown away by Peter Pettigrew and the fragments of soil were floating in the air, flying towards the enemy at high speed according to Ron's idea.
Is this still a first-year little wizard? Are all first graders like this now? ? How come they are so rich!
Peter Pettigrew had to turn into a mouse again and dodge in this extremely limited space.
The Weasleys are monsters!
Peter has lived in the Weasley family for more than ten years, and he has watched Ron grow up. Apart from being able to play chess and having a kind heart, this kid can't compare with a few others.
But he didn't expect that if Ron was given a set of powerful chess pieces,
In other words, what kind of brilliance he will bloom if the command is given to him.
The little wizards had no loopholes, leaving Peter unable to start.
At the same time, one's own living space was compressed less and less by this little wizard's floating spell.
Looking at the pile of gold mountains rushing over,
Peter had no choice but to pin his hopes on his terrifying master.
Voldemort was also very big-headed at this time.
The art of transformation builds city walls from the ground, and raises earth snakes.
The statue of the old wizard, reflecting the gorgeous silver light, waved his staff with his left hand to break the stone wall, and swung his sharp sword with his right hand to cut off the earth snake.
The exquisite magic spell was destroyed by the Mithril Wise Man's Chess, the large-scale magic spell was resisted by the O'Hara Steel Purple Horned Beast, and the raised soil was broken by the Golden Elf Unicorn.
Seeing that the living space for himself and his servants is getting smaller and smaller, and the enemy's attacks are getting closer and closer.
To make matters worse, Voldemort felt that his spells were no longer smooth.
Even though his body was shot twice by mithril, he was still casting magic spells so frequently. Quirrell's vitality had bottomed out.
We need to eat some centaurs to make up for it. If Quirrell dies here, Voldemort's plan will come to nothing.
So he didn't care about the Dark Lord's face, picked up the mouse, and fled towards the area Ron deliberately let go.
Seeing the enemy gone, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.
This set of chess pieces is indeed very powerful, but Ron's own magic power is not enough to drive them.
They fought with the magic power charged in the chess box.
In Ron's perception,
The magic reserves of the two wise men's chess pieces were insufficient because they kept defeating each other's magic.
If there were still a dozen more magics to be cast against him, he would have to passively defend and wait for support from the school.
But fortunately, there are no ifs. This battle is sudden. Both sides are not sufficiently prepared and do not understand each other's abilities.
In this case, Ron already had the advantage. After all, this set of chess pieces was a tactic developed by Raven against wizards.
And the core of this set of chess pieces is the witch chess piece.
Without playing the role of witch chess, the chess pieces could only ensure that Ron was undefeated in the hands of a wizard of Snape's level, which was why Ron let him go.
It's hard to say whether he will win or lose, but before reinforcements arrive, someone from his party will definitely die here.
"Harry, Draco, come here quickly, we have to evacuate here." Hermione waved to the two little wizards,
After escorting them to the protective cover of the throne chess, the witch chess returned to Ron's chess box, as did the other chess pieces.
Ron drove the Throne Chess and led several people out of the Forbidden Forest and came to Hagrid's hut.
This is considered the scope of the castle, and ancient magic protects it.
The warmth of the fireplace dispelled the uneasiness in their hearts, and they did not expect such a thing to happen.
Malfoy seemed a little frightened, and gently and repeatedly wiped the M500 revolver that saved their lives tonight with his robe.
Harry took the tea handed over by Hagrid, thanked him, and then shared what he had just seen with everyone.
“That man is Peter Pettigrew!
I am not wrong, he controlled the centaur and let another man in black robe drink the blood of the centaur.
There is no doubt that the tragedy that happened to the centaurs was caused by the two of them. "
"Impossible! Peter Pettigrew has been executed! The Daily Prophet has reported it!" Ron exclaimed.
"There's not just one Animagus who can turn into a mouse, Peter Pettigrew! Harry, you must have seen it wrong!"
Ron didn't want to admit this, because he remembered that Peter was very respectful to the other man in black robe.
"But Ron, he is the only one with a figure like that who can turn into a mouse."
Harry couldn't see the faces of the two men clearly, but he could recognize that it was Peter, the villain Sirius had mentioned countless times.
After ending the meaningless bickering, Hermione made her own suggestion
"We have to do something, Hagrid. We should tell Headmaster Dumbledore that the centaurs are experiencing murder."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a gentle but determined old man's voice came from outside the door.
"No need, I'm already here."
