#712 - Rebate (ask for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

After Daphne's on-site demise, the [Vanguard Skeleton] in the distance didn't stop its attack. It gently waved its hand, recalled its spear, and once again assumed a charging stance, rushing towards Percy and the others. Google search read.

Percy's team didn't actually want to get involved in this battle, but they had no choice at this point. Faced with the [Vanguard Skeleton]'s charge, they could only hastily dodge.

Cedric directly entangled Percy, clearly not intending to let him interfere with George's side.

Thus, the scene quickly evolved from a three-person whack-a-mole game to a seven-person one. Apart from Terrence and Hermione, who were casting battle-ax skills from afar, and George, who was carrying Hogg and fleeing, everyone else was stirred up by the [Vanguard Skeleton].

Percy repeatedly tried to find opportunities to chase or interfere with George, but Cedric stopped him every time, while the [Vanguard Skeleton] indiscriminately attacked, forcing everyone to flee in disarray.

"Don't stop me!"

Percy barely dodged a sweep from the [Vanguard Skeleton], and just as he wanted to break free, Cedric swung his hammer, forcing Percy to curse.

"Sorry, can't do that!" Cedric replied coldly, then used his giant hammer to smash away another spell fired by Percy.

Recognizing the warhammer in Cedric's hand, Percy knew that he probably couldn't do anything about him in the short term.

And that [Vanguard Skeleton] made it difficult for everyone to use their skills. The other three young wizards under him could only passively dodge, unable to counterattack.

However, just as the situation was tilting towards the fourth team, another change occurred.

Penelope, who had been besieging the [Vanguard Skeleton] with Fred, suddenly took out the short sword she had seized from the assassin skeleton and activated some kind of function on it. Then, her figure slowly disappeared into the air.

"Not good, Penelope is invisible!"

Besides assisting Cedric, Fred's other task was to keep an eye on Penelope!

Especially at this crucial moment, with the hostage princess already appearing, Penelope's agreement with the fourth team was already scrapped.

"Quickly go support George!" Cedric was shocked when he heard Fred's report, but he wasn't too surprised. He had expected Penelope to turn against them, but the timing she chose was too subtle.

At this time, the [Vanguard Skeleton] was blocking him and the third team on one side, and there was already a certain distance between them and Penelope's position, let alone George.

Fred also rushed towards George's direction after hearing this.

Hermione, who was providing cover for Terrence in the distance, knew that the situation was bad, so she simply abandoned Terrence and went to support.

"Swish!"

But just as Hermione had not gone far from Terrence, a spell suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hitting Terrence, who was controlling the Guardian Battleaxe, directly.

Terrence was concentrating on manipulating the battleaxe in his hand, and he had no ability to resist this sudden spell. He was instantly knocked down and turned into white light and dissipated.

At the same time, Penelope appeared not far from Terrence, obviously she had made up her mind long ago that once she turned against them, she would prioritize solving Terrence, otherwise it would be troublesome just to deal with the protective shields on them.

"Damn it!" Hermione couldn't help but feel a burst of regret when she saw Terrence being ambushed and killed. She thought that Penelope would definitely chase after George after becoming invisible, but her target was actually the Guardian Battleaxe.

"Stupefy!"

After solving Terrence, Penelope didn't stand on ceremony with Hermione, and immediately cast a stunning spell. As long as she solved Hermione and Fred, the princess in George's hands would be as good as delivered.

Faced with Penelope's offensive, Hermione's body tightened, and two completely opposite emotions of fear and excitement surged at the same time. Then, she quickly raised her hand and also shot out a stunning spell, and accurately collided with Penelope's spell.

The two spells collided in the air, and the agitated magic power splashed around with the air.

At the last moment, Hermione's long-accumulated combat instincts suddenly exploded, and she actually managed to cancel out a 5th year student's spell.

"You've got something." Even Penelope was amazed by Hermione's performance. She knew very well that her stunning spell was level 3. Not to mention keeping up with her casting speed and angle, even the magic intensity of a first-year witch was impressive.

"I will absolutely not let you pass!" Hermione shouted sternly, pretending to be calm. Her casting just now was actually an overexertion, and her right arm holding the wand was still faintly aching. At this time, she could only pretend to be intimidating.

"Heh, I don't believe you can block all the spells!" Penelope smiled coldly, and then actually used the casting skill of 'Multi-Shot Spell', continuously firing two stunning spells.

Seeing the other party's actions, Hermione knew that she definitely couldn't catch this time, so she could only muster all her strength and pounce to the side, barely dodging it.

But Penelope didn't care about this. Dodging in such an extreme way meant that she definitely couldn't catch the next spell, so she shook her wand and fired another stunning spell.

Faced with such continuous attacks, Hermione knew that she was really done for this time, so she could only close her eyes in despair and wait for death.

But at this time, Fred had already come to support. He also stimulated his potential at this moment, and used a barrier spell to block this attack for Hermione in a very extreme way.

Seeing that Fred did not continue to chase George but turned around to stop her, Penelope couldn't help but frown secretly. Her initial plan was to defeat these guys one by one.

As long as she killed Hermione, Fred alone couldn't stop her, let alone that she had a short sword that could turn invisible in her hand. It was just a pity that the skill cooldown of this equipment was a bit long, otherwise she wouldn't want to waste time with the other party here.

With Fred's support, Hermione finally escaped the disaster, but facing Penelope, the two of them could only be beaten. Penelope's multi-shot spell skills had been honed to a considerable degree, and the magic intensity was far beyond the two of them.

Soon, this square was divided into two battlefields.

One side was Cedric and Percy's team of 5 people. Not to mention chasing George, they were struggling to deal with the [Vanguard Skeleton].

The other side was Fred and Hermione, who were fighting Penelope.

But Penelope was a fifth-year student after all. In addition to having attribute advantages over the two lower-grade students, the biggest difference was that she had mastered high-level spells such as the 'Protego'.

So she was quite brave in battle, completely disregarding the two people's counterattacks. They had also received training from Andrew, so there was no difference in skills at all, and the age advantage was reflected at this time.

Seeing Terrence being killed and Hermione and Fred in a bitter battle, Cedric became more and more anxious at this time.

He knew that once Penelope killed one of them, the remaining one couldn't stop them for long, and George didn't know what was going on. Carrying Hogg, he couldn't walk fast at all, and he could still see his back even now.

Thinking of this, Cedric withdrew and prepared to leave this battlefield. Let Percy and the others play with the [Vanguard Skeleton] themselves. He must quickly support Fred and the two of them.

But when he had just moved, Percy's side refused to agree. How could he let you come and go as you please?

"Expulso!"

Percy threw out two expulso spells at Cedric in succession, blocking the other party's way, which made Cedric annoyed and glared back at him.

"Unless you help us solve the [Vanguard Skeleton], don't even think about running!" Percy ignored Cedric's glare.

Cedric was about to refuse, then suddenly heard a scream from behind. When he looked back, he found that Hermione had finally failed to block Penelope's continuous offensive, and had died and turned into white light and dissipated.

"Damn it." Cedric cursed angrily, then turned his head and replied to Percy, "Okay, but how are we going to deal with him? I can't attack the skeleton's body at all, otherwise we wouldn't have been entangled by it for so long before."

"It's good that you agreed." Seeing Cedric let go, Percy also breathed a sigh of relief, "We have a way to restrain the [Vanguard Skeleton]. The hammer in your hand should be very powerful, as long as you solve this skeleton, we can all free our hands."

Cedric didn't expect Percy to have a means to restrain this troublesome enemy in front of him. It seemed that the other party had some special equipment in his hand.

"No problem, but you have to guarantee that you won't attack me after solving the [Vanguard Skeleton], at least until I gather with my teammates." Cedric didn't have the confidence to deal with Percy.

Percy thought to himself that you only have one Fred left who is being forced into a corner, and you are still thinking about your teammates? So he immediately agreed, and then quickly gave a wink to Qiu and Harry not far away.

Qiu also nodded when she saw this, and then quickly took a few steps back. She also had a [Guardian Battleaxe] in her hand.

After Qiu activated the halo on the battleaxe, Harry took out a palm-sized metal object from his arms, which looked like a steel pancake.

After taking it out, Harry immediately rushed towards the [Vanguard Skeleton], trying to get close to the other party.

The [Vanguard Skeleton] didn't care about this little bug that dared to approach him, and swept its shield indifferently, directly shattering the magic shield on Harry.

But at this time, Harry had already approached the other party. At the moment when the shield shattered, he gently threw the metal object in his hand, causing it to fall on the skeleton.

At the same time, the metal pancake seemed to be sticky in itself, and directly stuck to the [Vanguard Skeleton]'s body.

After completing this operation, Harry immediately wanted to escape, but another blow from the [Vanguard Skeleton] came, instantly hitting Harry, who was close at hand, directly turning him into white light.

However, Harry's sacrifice was not in vain. The metal pancake that hit the [Vanguard Skeleton] suddenly exploded, and released countless fierce currents with itself as the center, just like fireworks on the ground.

After these currents were materialized, they did not end, they turned into dozens or hundreds of blue-glowing filaments, tightly binding the [Vanguard Skeleton], and continuously releasing electric sparks.

For a time, the [Vanguard Skeleton] was unable to move, and could only stand in place and tremble like a cramp.

"Hurry up, the [Triggered Electric Net] can only last for less than 5 seconds, you must take the opportunity to kill it!" Percy shouted immediately after seeing the props work, and at the same time, he shook his wand continuously, releasing several shattering spells to bombard the skeleton body.

However, the [Vanguard Skeleton]'s powerful defense was not only relying on the shield in its hand. Even if it was directly hit by these spells, it only made a burst of harsh bone friction sounds. Obviously, it was still a bit short of completely shattering it.

Seeing that Percy's side actually had this kind of weapon, Cedric finally understood why they were able to enter the shopping center smoothly. At the same time, he did not delay, and immediately pulled himself forward, swinging his giant hammer towards the other party's back.

After a few people bombarded it with spells and giant hammers for several seconds in a row, the [Vanguard Skeleton] finally reached its limit and scattered into a skeleton with a bang.

Seeing that this enemy who had tormented them for so long was finally killed, Cedric couldn't wait to be happy and reached out to explore the shield that the other party had dropped.

There is no need to say how powerful the equipment in the [Vanguard Skeleton]'s hand is, now is the time to grab it?

Percy on the other side discovered Cedric's intention and was too late to stop it, but he still reacted quickly and pounced on the spear.

In fact, Percy also wanted to grab the shield, but he was not as close to the skeleton as the other party, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

After getting a powerful equipment each, the two immediately checked the attributes.

Cedric and Percy, who had obtained two pieces of equipment, couldn't help but be ecstatic after seeing their attribute descriptions.

This is too strong!

Compared to this, Cedric felt that the [Bone Warhammer] in his hand was simply a toy. No wonder his attack on the [Vanguard Shield] was like scratching an itch. It turned out that this shield could directly exempt damage.

They fought for so long, and the durability of the [Vanguard Shield] only dropped by 3 points. Most of everyone's attacks were invalid. Cedric didn't know how to describe it except with outrageous.
