#187 - Spell Upgrade

The venom in the fire serpent's fangs was clearly more potent than the flames on its body.

A mere wisp of venom pierced through Mune's two layers of [Obstacle Course] and the [Iron Armor Curse] in front of him.

Moreover, the fire serpent's magic resistance was far stronger than Montoy's after transforming into a monster.

Especially after consuming over a dozen humans, the flames on this fire serpent became even more ferocious.

Seeing the fire serpent preparing to pounce on another woman, Mune decisively severed the Unbeliever's banner from the comb.

He cast a [Flying Charm].

Allowing this only magically imbued banner to wrap around the fire serpent's body.

Then, Mune resolutely cast a [Levitation Charm] on the banner.

Without the fire serpent's magic resistance, Mune exerted all his strength to cast the [Levitation Charm].

Using a bed sheet to wrap the body was originally Mune's idea for rescuing Harry on the Quidditch field, but now it seemed that this banner could also become the fire serpent's shroud.

After being wrapped up, the fire serpent struggled wildly in the air, spraying venom from its fangs as if it were worthless.

However, none of this harmed Mune.

Because the Unbeliever's banner contained a lot of magical energy, and Mune wrapped it around the fire serpent several times.

This slowed down the speed at which the banner was burned.

Mune's [Levitation Charm], since training during this time, could maintain a ten-kilogram object floating in the air for three minutes.

Of course, this was only possible with the blessing of the Old Willow wand.

And the fire serpent in front of him clearly weighed more than ten kilograms, but Mune was still trying his best to support the [Levitation Charm].

Under the effect of the spell, the fire serpent continued to rise.

Ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Fifty meters.

Eighty meters.

Until finally, Mune's arm began to tremble, and the banner wrapping the fire serpent was burned open.

Mune had no choice but to withdraw the spell.

Without the maintenance of the spell, the fire serpent began to fall rapidly, but Mune would not let go of it so easily.

He knew that the magic resistance on the surface of the fire serpent's body was very high, but he also had a very high talent for cutting magic.

The intensity of Mune's [Cutting Curse] was greater than [Incendio].

And the fire serpent in front of him obviously had greater resistance to fire magic, so Mune kept casting [Cutting Curses] on the fire serpent.

Because the fire serpent had nowhere to leverage in mid-air, it could not avoid the attacks of the spells.

When Mune cast the eighth [Cutting Curse], the flames on the fire serpent's body were obviously much weaker.

Then it was heavily slammed onto the deck, directly penetrating the several-decimeter-thick wooden planks and falling into the second floor of the cabin.

Mune hurried to the hole to check and found that the fire serpent still wanted to straighten up.

He took the opportunity to cast more than a dozen consecutive Cutting Curses.

Not knowing which spell took effect, the fire serpent was finally cut into three pieces by Mune.

The flames on its body were completely extinguished after the body was severed.

During the battle, the spores of the Water Lily Fungus had spread to a radius of thirty meters.

The people on the deck were all knocked unconscious without any psychological preparation.

Even those who jumped into the sea in a hurry to avoid the fire serpent eventually fell asleep.

The wooden sailboat was also burned beyond recognition by the fire serpent, and many places on the deck had collapsed.

People inside the cabin continued to run out, but they all fell on the deck after taking only two steps because they inhaled the spores.

After checking that there were no other magical forces that could threaten him.

Mune used the [Levitation Charm] to cooperate with Zalan, sending the unconscious people one by one to the nearby rocky beach. After the fierce battle just now, Mune's spell effects were much stronger than before.

The change in [Levitation Charm] was even more obvious.

Perhaps the determination to kill the fire serpent was exceptionally strong just now, Mune's [Levitation Charm] also changed at that time.

In the past, Mune's [Levitation Charm], even with the blessing of the Old Willow wand, could not have maintained an object rising to nearly a hundred meters in the air.

But he not only did it just now, but also was able to continuously cast [Cutting Curses] after withdrawing the spell.

Even after the battle, Mune found that his [Levitation Charm] could already keep the body of an adult in the air.

Although he could not increase the height, cooperating with Zalan to transport them could very quickly rescue everyone on board.

Of course, in addition to the increased power of the [Levitation Charm], Mune's [Cutting Curse] was improved by more than one level.

When Mune practiced at Hogwarts, he tried to use [Cutting Curse] to cut open a thinner stone.

But the thickness of that kind of stone was less than one centimeter, and it was not a very hard cobblestone.

But when Mune bombarded the fire serpent with [Cutting Curse] just now.

Not only were the several-decimeter-thick wooden planks under the fire serpent all penetrated, but the power of the spell also extended to the wooden planks of the third-layer cabin.

"This kind of foundation should be considered well laid, right? I just don't know what the spell Professor Snape prepared is?"

Mune remembered very clearly that Snape promised him that as long as he laid the foundation for this spell, he would teach him another self-created spell.

Mune was determined to get that spell.

After transporting everyone on the deck to the bottom of the ship, Mune and Zalan took advantage of the fire not having completely spread and began searching the entire interior of the cabin.

Mune first found the room where Montoya lived.

He collected a handbook recording magic and a small box of internal letters from the Unbeliever organization.

After putting on his monocle and finding no other magical items in the room, Mune was about to leave, but Bouncy jumped out of his arms.

This little animal very quickly found Montoya's money box.

Then, after Mune blew open the lock, Bouncy began to constantly stuff all kinds of coins, pearls, goldware... into its small pocket.

A whole box of treasures was all stuffed into Bouncy's pocket, and it only took less than a minute.

But its small pocket still showed no signs of bulging.

"Bouncy, when returning to Hogwarts, can you help me bring some things?"

Mune was originally worried that he had not learned the [Undetectable Extension Charm].

But seeing that Bouncy actually had such a magical pocket, he suddenly felt that there was no need to be so anxious.

"Chirp?" (Are they valuable things?)

"That's right."

"Chirp!" (Okay!)

After Mune and Bouncy searched the rooms on the deck, the two of them came to the interior of the cabin.

As soon as he came down, Mune heard a gunshot.

Zalan was holding a flintlock gun, trying to break the chains binding the slaves.

Mune only glanced at these slaves, who were the same as those on the pirate ship.

Then, with an unpleasant expression, he used [Exploding Charm] to blow open the chains one by one.

The slaves were originally very scared.

But seeing that the people who rescued them did not have any other actions, they cautiously left the prison-like cabin.

The upper deck had all been burned down, and the slaves could only walk through the passage at the bottom of the cabin.

But they could not run far after leaving the ship, because waiting for them was the ubiquitous spores.

After running only two steps, they fell on the beach one by one and fell asleep.

When searching the deepest room on the third deck.

After blowing open the wooden door, Zalan and Mune were both stunned at the door.
