After looking around and roughly judging the distribution density of the Inferi under the lake near the island, Amosta looked back and saw Sirius and Remus waiting in full formation, and even old Kreacher was showing off. With a posture of not willing to fight, Amosta slightly tilted his head, raised the index finger of his right hand on the base, and tapped it gently.
Buzz-——
After a faint buzzing sound, a breeze appeared out of thin air. Centered on where the finger fell, it quickly spread around. Wherever the breeze passed, whether it was the green liquid in the basin that could not be touched directly, or the liquid that was as solid as a mirror. The black lake is all rippled.
Wow!
The next second, the lake surface suddenly surged violently, and countless dead bodies with stiff and white faces suddenly emerged from the water. Their gray and lifeless eyes were all focused on the people on the islands in the lake, with green light. Reflected on their faces, although they could not roar, in the silence, everyone seemed to hear the sky-shattering roar.
"I've never seen such a big scene before, Padfoot—"
Even though Remus had experienced the brutal war years, his calves could not help but feel weak when he saw this scene. The corners of his mouth twitched and sweat dripped from his forehead.
"It can't be more difficult to deal with than Death Eaters, right, Moony-"
Sirius's voice also showed signs of trembling, but he was unwilling to admit defeat and forced himself to look directly into the misty eyes of the Inferi, both men and women, old and young.
The charge begins!
Farther away, the Inferi were floating towards the center of the lake.
Around the island, there were at least hundreds of Inferi gradually approaching the shore. They walked stiffly and crowded together. Their shoulders and arms collided with each other, causing their bodies to stagger. Although their movements were slow, they could not be compared to the Inferi in the lake. When they rolled ashore together, Sirius and Remus unconsciously stuck back to back!
Sirius was the first to blow the horn of attack. He threw out a magic spell. The sickle-shaped blue curse light flew over a distance of sixty feet and successfully tore off the legs of the frontmost Inferi.
However, this did not make the Inferi incapacitated. Together with its companions who tripped over it, it crawled on its arms, slowly but surely crawling towards them.
call out!
A thin rope shot out from the tip of Remus's wand. This rope tied several Inferi to the ground. To a certain extent, it blocked the progress of the Inferi in that direction, but in other directions, there were still a flood of corpses. Squirming toward the center, the closest one was only thirty feet away.
Such slow movements are not acceptable!
Sirius and Remus realized this at the same time. If this attack rhythm continued, they might be killed in less than two minutes.
The attack rhythm suddenly accelerated. Sirius and Remus kept intertwining and wandering on the small island. Bright and gorgeous curse lights continued to cut through the quiet space and finally disappeared on the lake. Looking down from a high altitude, It's like there's a huge fireworks show going on on the island.
And Kreacher also played a big role. The house elf's attack methods were mediocre, but fortunately the power was pretty good. Old Kreacher jumped around and kept popping up silver flashes with his fingers, killing those who were trying to land. The corpses were pushed back into the water.
"See Regulus, Sirius!"
Remus was still in the weak stage of his transformation. He had just soaked in the cold sea water again. Such a high-intensity battle made him feel very strenuous. After knocking down a few Inferi again, he headed towards the other side of the island. Sirius yelled,
"I'm afraid we won't last long unless we use fire to deal with these Inferi-"
"Wait a minute, Remus, Kreacher and I are looking!"
Sirius, who was sweating profusely, roared in response. He jumped onto a partition created by the transfiguration technique, kicked away a middle-aged inferi that was trying to grab his trouser leg, and looked anxiously among the crowd of heads. .
Boom!
At this moment, nearly a hundred feet away from the shore, a huge monster suddenly rushed out of the boiling lake. This monster looked like a rhinoceros, with gray skin all over its body, and the long horns on its head shone with a slight metallic luster.
This monster was obviously dead, but it retained the power in front of it. The dozen or so Inferi lying in front of it were easily knocked into the sky, and some were even directly disemboweled by its hard long horns. Broken belly, white intestines and clear mucus flying everywhere!
"There's a poison horned beast here!"
Sirius almost vomited, but he held it back and jumped off the low wall with a face full of panic. After staggering back a few steps to regain his balance, he turned to face Ah, who was standing next to the stone basin and the base. Mosta shouted,
"Help, Amosta, we can't deal with this!"
In an instant, everything was silent!
In the invisible magic world, a tyrannical magic storm swept across from where Amosta stood in all directions. Faintly, the whirlpool like a millstone in the pair of deep eyes slowly rotated and emitted sounds like a landslide. A roar like thunder.
Splashing water, undulating lake surface, whether it has landed on the island, is still in the shallow water, or is the poisonous horned beast that seems to weigh two tons, all objects stained with magic seem to be trapped by The extended time domain moves slower than a sloth.
"Hurry up and find——"
Amosta's calm words brought Sirius, Remus and Kreacher out of this state. They looked at a pale palm that was trying to get closer to him a few steps away. Remus had a look of surprise on his face. ,
"That's incredible, Amosta, how on earth did you do that?!"
"I interfered with the normal flow of magic in the area,"
Amosta said calmly,
"Don't waste time. Voldemort has deployed a large number of defense methods here. While maintaining my status, I also have to resist these black magics, which consumes a lot of money-"
The Inferi further away are still gathering towards the islands in the lake in an endless stream. When they break into a certain area, their movements will immediately slow down.
Remus stared at Amosta's greatly changed eyes with a complicated expression. He had already predicted that this young man's achievements in the future might be comparable to Albus Dumbledore.
"Over there!"
At this moment, Kreacher suddenly shouted excitedly,
"Master Sirius, Kreacher has found Master Regulus!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Kreacher's shout. They looked in the direction of Kreacher's finger and indeed saw a very eye-catching Inferi at the edge of the frozen area.
The reason why it is different is that unlike the other Muggle inferi in the lake, the inferi, who is probably only twenty years old, is wearing a black wizard robe, and he has a particularly obvious Black family logo on his chest. Family crest.
Regulus looked very similar to Sirius, but he was shorter than Sirius and his body looked thin and frail.
Under the influence of magic, this heroic young man still maintained his appearance at the moment of his death, except that his cheeks were slightly swollen due to being soaked in water for many years.
Like others who broke into the space frozen by Amosta's magic, his movements were weird and funny, but he still moved unswervingly towards the lake island.
"Regulus!"
Sirius collapsed all of a sudden, and his cry full of grief echoed in the dark cave.
Before Remus could react, Sirius and Kreacher burst out with astonishing speed and agility. They used the Inferi on the shore as pedals and rushed into the lake like the wind, dragging and kicking them. Then he pulled Regulus to the center of the island, in front of Amosta.
"Sorry, Regulus—"
Sirius fell to his knees on the ground. He kept repeating these words, and big drops of hot tears fell on the cheeks of Regulus, who had long since lost his life.
And Kreacher also threw himself on the boy's chest, and those who heard the shrill wail were moved.
