Chapter 319 Plan 1 Failed
The students sitting in the audience booed when they saw Harry safely walk through a fork in the road.
They seemed disappointed when nothing caught Harry's eye.
But Cedric was different. Just after he passed a fork in the road, he saw a huge shell-like monster.
It looks like a combination of a giant scorpion and a crab, with a thick shell covered in terrifying barbs.
"It's a blast-tailed skrewt, but this one is really big!"
"It really is!"
"What, what, what is this!?"
……
When the students who had taken Hagrid's class saw this monster, they immediately screamed excitedly, their faces full of excitement.
Those who have never seen it or heard of it, asked around with curiosity.
Cedric, who had also taken Hagrid's class, naturally knew how difficult this thing was to deal with.
Before Cedric could think about it, a flame suddenly spurted out of the blasting-tailed skrewt's tail and rushed towards him.
"There are many obstacles!"
Before Cedric could congratulate himself for blocking the flames, the blasting-tailed skrewt broke through the defenses like a tank and rushed forward.
Cedric reacted quickly, rolling over to avoid the impact, and then threw a spell at the exploding skrewt.
When the blasting-tailed skrewt was hit by magic, it did not fall down directly as Cedric had expected.
Its shell exploded immediately when it encountered the magical attack, and the flaming fragments scattered in all directions.
The flaming debris tore apart Cedric's defenses and set his clothes on fire.
Cedric knew he was no match for the Exploding Skrewt, so he hurriedly put out the fire on his clothes.
I just found a road and ran towards the end of it with all my strength.
Cedric, who had just escaped, happened to meet Harry and quickly reminded him:
"Don't go over there, Hagrid's blasting-tailed skrewt is still in here!"
"It was really hard to deal with. I managed to escape with great difficulty!"
"Ha ha……"
Seeing Cedric's miserable appearance, the students all laughed happily, gloating over his misfortune.
After briefly reminding Harry, Cedric found a random way to rush in, apparently wanting to get away from the blasting-tailed skrewt.
Seeing that even Cedric was in such a mess, Harry didn't say anything, but quickened his pace and left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a Dementor slowly floating towards him.
A thin body, a tattered hood covering the face, and rotten and scabby hands stretched straight out.
"Dementors!"
"How dare someone from the Ministry of Magic?"
"Why should we be afraid? They even surrounded the school last year."
In the third year, students who experienced the Dementor riot couldn't help but scream out in surprise.
Harry in the maze turned pale when he saw the Dementors, then raised his wand and shouted:
"Call the gods to protect you!"
A silver stag leapt out of the wand and ran towards the Dementors.
The Dementor seemed to be frightened. It took two steps back and crashed heavily into the bush wall of the maze.
"That's not a Dementor!"
"It doesn't look like it to me."
"But what is that?"
……
Seeing its miserable appearance, the students immediately guessed that the creature was definitely not the scary Dementor.
Harry saw the Dementor in such a miserable state, and he quickly guessed its true identity. He raised his wand and shouted:
"You're not a Dementor, you're a Boggart! Ridiculous!"
After a loud bang, the Boggart was blown to ashes, and the summoned guardian also disappeared.
After solving the problem, Harry finally met Cedric again after walking through several dead ends with the help of the directional spell.
The audience felt a little sleepy watching the four warriors finding their way in the dim maze.
"Why didn't we see Bloom and Fleur encounter any mishaps? As soon as they entered the maze, they were trying to find their way out!"
"That's normal. Cedric and Harry are the first in the maze, and they are making the fastest progress."
"That's right. I guess in a few minutes, Krum and Fleur will..."
……
"what!!!!"
The audience's discussion stopped abruptly, and they all looked towards the scene where the shouting came from.
Furong didn't know what attacked her. After she screamed, she fell to the ground.
When the professors who were patrolling outside the maze saw this, they communicated with Maxim and then entered the maze to rescue people.
At this moment, the backs of Harry and Cedric appeared in the picture of Krum being broadcast by the spirit bird.
Under the incredulous gazes of the audience, Krum raised his wand and pointed it at Cedric, shouting with a sinister expression:
"The soul is out of body!"
"careful!"
Harry, who was extremely sensitive to the Dark Arts, sensed a sneak attack and pushed Cedric away.
But he was also controlled by the Imperius Curse instead of Cedric.
Seeing this scene, Wright couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that 'Plan No. 1 to save Cedric has failed!'
Harry is highly resistant to the Imperius Curse, so it will take some time to control him.
But when Krum cast the spell, he had no ability to resist.
As Wright expected, Cedric, who was rescued by Harry, angrily pointed his wand at the bastard who attacked him.
Krum gave up controlling Harry and turned and ran away.
"Don't even think about running, faint!!!"
Several flashes of magic appeared, and one of them hit Krum in the back.
Krum, who was running wildly, suddenly felt his legs go soft and he lunged forward, ruthlessly using his face to stop his sliding body.
Cedric, who had defeated the enemy, rushed to Harry's side with an anxious expression: "Harry, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine!"
Harry came back to his senses from his trance, looked at the anxious Cedric, and said with fear on his face:
"Fortunately, there is Professor Moody. He has trained me in resistance to the Imperius Curse."
"Otherwise, without any psychological preparation, I might have been controlled."
Seeing Krum being knocked to the ground, Karkaroff immediately slammed the table, covered his arm and screamed:
"Cheating, you are cheating!"
"Two people teamed up to bully Krum alone. You are so despicable!"
Before Dumbledore could refute, the students around him immediately shouted loudly when they heard this:
"Screw you! Krum is making a sneak attack!"
"That's right, if Harry hadn't been controlled, two against one, you would have won."
"Krum attacked Cedric, and Cedric fought back. That's normal and nothing wrong with it!"
……
"What a shame. Krum, who was controlled, was almost able to make Cedric retire."
"But it's better this way. Let's get rid of these two guys who might get in the way first."
"It's not in vain that I specifically ordered the spirit birds to cover up Buggy's traces in the picture."
"As for Cedric, we'll talk about it later!"
The noise from the audience did not affect Wright's plan in his mind.
Just when the audience and Karkaroff were arguing fiercely.
Cedric and Harry came to a fork in the road and separated again.
