Sirius and the others got into the cave and moved forward, and the ambient temperature soon began to rise again.
He took out a small crystal bottle that looked like a test tube. The bright silver potion flowed in it like mist, and it was cold in his hand.
He wiped his sweat and said, "I think it's time to drink this!"
Tons tons tons tons~
"Hiss~ What Snape cooked is really not worth looking forward to."
Although Sirius damages his old enemies on a daily basis, the effect of the frost protection potion is still very good. A layer of magic shield like a thin ice shell flashed around the body, and the wizards in the advance team suddenly cooled down.
They continued to advance and hit the front station, and the follow-up troops also landed in the sinkhole one after another.
Professor McGonagall and other veterans of the Order of the Phoenix, as well as the Aurors and strikers from the Ministry of Magic led by Moody, also began to prepare.
Hermione leaned into Ted's ear and whispered: "I think they are a little nervous?"
Ted shrugged slightly: "There is no way, they have never experienced this kind of battle after all..."
Ron: "I'm a little nervous too! Can I use the toilet?"
Jerry: "You've been there three times!"
The last large-scale battle between wizards was more than ten years ago.
The loss rate of that batch of old Aurors is extremely high. Among the current Aurors, eight out of ten are newcomers. Although they have fought against some evil humanoid creatures or some dark wizards, they have never experienced this. A big scene with dozens of wizards gathering?
If you include the demihumans, dwarves, and gnomes who came to support, the entire team, from combatants to support personnel, numbered over three hundred!
For wizards, this is already the scale of a small war!
Especially when I heard that I was dealing with strange, unseen, alien fire elemental creatures, I felt even more unsure.
Ted didn't care about that, but kept checking the magic circle under his feet with his friends.
Although Dumbledore reassured him not to stress or force things, he could still shield the students from the wind and rain for a while. But Ted always felt that his magic circle might not be able to play a big role.
…
Sirius and others took out two fire elemental creatures and heaved a sigh of relief. Not only because the environment is overheated and it feels hot even when you breathe out, but also because this thing is so difficult to deal with!
In Ted's appraisal, these fire elemental creatures all have a certain amount of magic resistance. Level 1 or 2, a few even have level 3.
Magic spells like blazing flames are all about massaging the other person, while spells like clear spring water are less effective in such a special place.
As for the remaining spells such as being torn apart and broken into pieces, it is difficult to kill these monsters at once, because there is no relationship between flesh and blood, and they can often only blow up some hot rocks, tear apart some flames, and even splash some darkness. Red viscous magma.
It takes almost four or five people to cast spells several times in succession to completely smash an elemental creature into a handful of ashes or a patch of hot gravel.
The vanguard team only opened up a foothold of more than 200 square meters on the edge of the land of flames, and they were already exhausted.
The magic power consumption is high, and the duration of the frost protection potion is greatly reduced. Once the cooling effect disappears, you will feel hot and breathless in almost ten seconds!
Not to mention fighting!
And these things are so difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, their intelligence doesn't seem to be high. As long as they stay far away, they don't care about things here. Otherwise, if they attract a large area, it will be difficult to establish this foothold.
Soon, Sirius' slightly urgent voice came from the communication props: "We have opened a foothold, come here. However, these things are very difficult to deal with..."
A group of about ten dwarves wearing metal armor were the first to get into the hole. Their armors were all engraved with some special runes, which could greatly resist the damage of fire and reduce the negative effects of high temperature.
Then there are several wizards led by Professor McGonagall, and some dwarf craftsmen wearing special magical equipment. They want to build a strong stronghold in the land of fire under the cover of the dwarves...
Seeing Dumbledore leading a group of old members of the Order of the Phoenix to start digging into the hole, Ted said to his friends: "You guys have taken a good look at the magic circle here. I'll follow you in and take a look."
Dumbledore hunched forward in the cave - he was very tall, and he didn't say anything when he saw Ted at the back of the team.
Ted needs to go in and set up the magic circle to connect the inside and outside.
The outer array is the operation array, and the inner array is the effect array, which is equivalent to the chassis on the outside and the display screen on the inside. No one else can do this, he can only do it...
When Ted got out of the cave and came to the Land of Fire, there was still fighting ahead.
Under the cover of the dwarves, a dozen wizards fought against several large flame creatures.
Among them was a Lava Annihilator, a level 12 elite unit that would splash lava with just a wave of his hand, forcing the wizards and dwarves to run around and not dare to take a direct hit.
It was Sirius and Snape who stood at the front and used magic to restrain them. They seemed a little dissatisfied with each other...
Professor McGonagall glared at them both and used Transfiguration to change the terrain to restrain the monster.
Forget it, I don’t have time to care about them.
Ted didn't even have time to see how the runes on the dwarf magic armor worked, nor did he have time to observe how the dwarf magic devices formed a protective shield. He had to quickly invest in the construction of the magic circle.
A large amount of magic silver deformed like plasticine in his hands, and then turned into liquid metal like mercury and flowed obliquely. Finally, under the guidance of the magic wand, geometric patterns and magic words flowed on the ground...
Dumbledore stood motionless on the side, observing the space with squinted eyes, his eyes all red, as if they were not in an underground space cave, but in a charcoal stove.
In the land of flames as far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of fire elemental creatures, large and small!
He also noticed the molten giant guarding the lava pool in the central area, the space gate that connected to other worlds and continuously poured out flame magic!
More than ten meters high, it seems to be composed of lava and boulders. It has all the facial features and even lava lines like a beard...
Using water-creating spells, freezing spells and other magic spells in such a place would be more difficult and more expensive. Otherwise, the wizards wouldn't be so entangled in the fight.
Even with the dwarves at the forefront and the dwarfs' magic guides forming a networked magic protection, it was still very difficult.
The high temperature forced everyone to sweat profusely, except for Dumbledore who didn't sweat a drop, but his long beard was moving in the calm wind, and his eyes were shining with magic light - he was observing the door.
If the door cannot be closed, everything is in vain.
After twenty minutes of fighting, the first group of dwarves and wizards all withdrew, unable to hold on any longer. Second batch on top.
Not only was the fighting intensity not low, it was also because it was too hot. Fighting in the sauna at the same time, no one can last long!
At this moment, Ted suddenly shouted happily: "It's done!"
He was also sweating at this time. He had taken off his wizard robe and threw it aside, and his shirt was soaked and stuck to his body. He didn't have time to care about that. He spent many seconds arranging the connection circle and finally got it done!
Alchemy array, formed!
Magic circle, open!
With a low sound of "Buzz~", the magic silver pattern on the ground began to light up. A complex pattern began to expand on the ground, with magic flowing in it, extending along the magic circle toward the cave from where it came.
Then the flame magic from the outside is absorbed into the magic circle, constantly rotating in the magic circle, and finally transformed into frost with Ted as the core!
Just like the air conditioner was suddenly turned on, a cool air began to spread like a mist, and the surrounding area of 500 to 600 square meters suddenly felt cooler!
Although the coverage area was only half of what was captured, it at least made the people fighting in the front feel a lot better and gave them the possibility to retreat and rest.
In the longer term, as long as the range of the magic circle can be expanded, the scope of action will also increase until it reaches the limit of the magic circle or Ted.
This can greatly alleviate the disadvantage of losing geographical location.
"Well done, Ted!" Sirius smiled so hard that his beard stood up.
Snape turned his head away from Ted in disgust and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.
Professor McGonagall also had a smile on her face, and then cast another spell to raise a stone wall from the ground to resist a monster.
Dumbledore was also alarmed, glanced at Ted, nodded slightly, and then continued to observe the "door"!
There were constant spells and shouts from the dwarves in front of them. The further they expanded, the stronger and more fire elemental creatures they encountered. The advancement was not very smooth.
…
In the sinkhole outside, Hermione and the others also discovered changes in the magic circle.
"Ted has activated the magic circle!" she shouted in surprise.
Ron: "How was it?"
Jerry: "Are you okay?"
"Everything goes well! It's just..."
"Just what?" Neville asked.
"It's just these supplies..." Hermione estimated based on the current consumption rate, "Three hours, it can only last three hours!"
In fact, if Ted hadn't now had the talent [Unequal Exchange (Orange)], the consumption would have increased at least ten times!
It is precisely because he has been operating the magic circle, using himself as the core to transform the magic power of fire into the power of frost. This effect cannot be achieved by the power of the magic circle alone.
That was a land of lava flames a few meters below my feet. It was equivalent to turning on the air conditioner in a furnace. What effect would that have?
Ted, on the other hand, chose to convert heat energy directly into cooling effect, which is very unreasonable!
It's been another hour, and there have been two rounds of fighting between wizards and they can't hold on any longer.
Someone contacted the wizarding world, whether it was the wizarding family or the Ministry of Magic, and sent someone. At least fifty more people are needed!
To be honest, these wizards have never experienced this kind of battle. Although the danger is not great, the intensity is indeed not low. They have never experienced such a high-intensity battle involving continuous spell casting for more than ten or twenty minutes.
A battle between wizards would be considered evenly matched if it lasted five minutes. Usually the winner can be decided in two or three minutes.
For many wizards, this is the first time they feel what it feels like to run out of magic power. And the number of wounded began to increase!
After another thirty minutes, another group of people were replaced, and a safe area of about 3,000 square meters had been cleared. When they began to come into contact with a large number of advanced flame creatures, Dumbledore finally moved.
He raised his wand high, his beard and hair moving automatically, and he muttered vague spells quickly.
The sleeves of the wide wizard robe slipped down to the elbow, revealing the muscles of the forearm, which were not full for a long time and could be called withered.
He is already a centenarian!
It took about thirty seconds before he finally finished reciting the long spell. The wand slipped down, pointed at the alchemy circle at Ted's feet, and read out the last scale!
"...Change accordingly!"
