When Astoria stood on the stage, the cheers below shook like thunder.
Few people from Slytherin House are so popular in the school. Astoria is quite good-looking and her silver-white hair brings out the temperament of this fifteen-year-old girl. After merging with Elise's soul, , there was a hint of charm in his eyes.
Moreover, the undefeated record in previous duels is even more impressive. Although Hogwarts is not a school that emphasizes strength, it will still be loved by others if it shows excellent attainments in combat.
Louis looked at the silver-haired girl on the stage, feeling nervous for some reason. He took out his wand, shook off his dusty robe, and stepped onto the stage with a leisurely step.
The sense of oppression displayed by adult wizards is very strong, especially among a group of young wizards. Minors are far inferior to an adult wizard in terms of knowledge reserve, combat experience and magic power. This is why, Qiu Zhang is the only adult who can control these children.
The members of . quickly gathered together and stood in a circle consciously. Harry, Qiu Zhang and Hermione stood at the front. Ron and Lavender were leaning on the other side. Ginny had her hands on her hips, interested. Looking at the duel between the two on the field, her boyfriend Dean Thomas was not very interested in it, but he couldn't control Ginny's temper and stood in the front row.
On the platform, the two bowed to each other as a pre-battle salute. Astoria smiled at Louis. He looked at the girl's familiar smile, and suddenly a sense of crisis arose in his heart. This smile , which often appeared on Elise's face before.
Almost instantly, Astoria took action. She was very fast. The moment she raised her wand, a red light erupted.
It was a stun spell, the most commonly used spell in wizard battles. Thanks to Louis' experienced and subconscious reaction, the red light was blocked by his transparent foam a few inches away from him.
Astoria shook her wand rapidly, and the two of them continued to intersect with light and shadow. The fire caused by the collision of the spells was as destructive as fireworks. Every attack from Astoria was perfectly neutralized by Louis.
"Silent casting, Merlin's beard, she's only fifteen years old."
Hermione murmured a little, saying that casting spells silently and being able to use spells so quickly requires an extremely precise familiarity with magic, which even many adult wizards may not be able to achieve.
Harry was teaching silent spells in his Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester, but Snape's previous difficulties gave him a perfect opportunity to be placed in solitary confinement.
Astoria moved faster and faster, and Louis exclaimed at the powerful help Elise brought to her, but obviously, it was impossible to make Louis feel pressured to this extent.
Her spell struck again, and Louis dodged deftly. The light fell on the stone wall behind him, scattering a pile of rubble.
Soon the gravel changed rapidly, and the knocked down gravel combined together and turned into a powerful stone hand, behind Louis, pounced towards Louis like a five-fingered mountain pressing down on top.
The students were all exclaiming. It seemed that the previous duel had never been such a big scene. The giant hand hit the ground and stirred up a large amount of dust. When the dust cleared, the students saw the big rocky hand firmly pressing Louis to the ground.
After two or three seconds, the students who were watching the battle felt that the surrounding temperature suddenly increased, and bursts of fire radiated from the big hand of the rock. Suddenly, the big hand shattered, and Louis stood there unscathed. I don't know when he appeared next to him. Three little flame snakes were charging towards Astoria with bared teeth.
The girl didn't panic. When the fire snake was approaching, she swiped her wand down, and an invisible force annihilated the fire snake. Louis did not expect the fire snake to pose any threat to Astoria. After all, What he was facing now was Elise's power.
Just as the fire snake rushed out, the ancient magic in Louis' hand took shape. The floating spell was his hidden essence. As long as this spell was hit, the person hit by the spell would become weak and float softly in the air.
But Lewis overlooked one point. Since Elise has merged with Astoria's soul, she doesn't need a wand at all to cast soul magic.
After the fire disappeared, her deep eyes were fixed on Louis, and the attack that penetrated the soul was launched instantly. Although there was a lucky gold coin nearby to remind him, he was still a beat slow.
No, the floating curse was forced down, and Astoria activated the weird soul magic, soul mark. Louis' body paused for two or three seconds under the suppression of the soul mark. It was this short period of time. , almost became the key to the duel.
The girl quickly fired out a weapon. In a wizard duel, as long as one party is disarmed, it will be considered a failure. However, Louis, who was suppressed by the soul mark, could not move at all. Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, another change occurred.
The disarming spell fell in the air, and no one reacted. Louis appeared behind Astoria in an instant, more like a flash. He pointed his wand at her and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.
The girl spread her hands, threw away her wand and admitted defeat. The duel was not about life and death. To be honest, no one present could see clearly how Louis did it.
Time magic is a barrier to modern wizards. Just at the critical moment, he recited the time-pausing spell through a silent spell, freezing the entire time.
Unless they have an extremely advanced understanding of magic, it is impossible for any wizard to operate in this area. Of course, using this trick to deal with monsters like Dumbledore won't work, and time magic will also consume a lot of magic power in Louis' body.
There was silence, and then cheers broke out in an instant. They shouted Ducatan's name. Although this guy was a transfer student from the United States, his strength that exploded in the duel won the respect of everyone present.
Especially the Hufflepuff students, they even wanted to rush up and lift Louis up.
Of course, Louis couldn't accept this atmosphere, so he quickly took Astoria to the side, and Qiu Chang and Harry calmed the students who were in high spirits.
"How do you feel?" Astoria said happily on the sidelines. Although she lost the duel, she only lost at the hands of Louis.
"You have made great progress, which surprises me. To be honest, the soul magic is really powerful." Lewis had to sigh. Even though he accepted so much power, he had to act cautiously in the face of the weirdness of soul magic.
"I can only master a small amount of Elise's knowledge reserve." Astoria shook her head. Her face looked a little bad, as if it was the aftermath of using soul magic, "Qiu and Potter. I want to hold a ranking match in the duel, which will further arouse the interest of the members.”
"That's fine." Louis nodded. He had no time to interfere with the situation now. He left the entire organization to Qiu Zhang and the others. It can be regarded as a small force in the school. Then the real war will begin. , Hogwarts will inevitably become the main battlefield.
This time Louis is more worried about Astoria's condition. Although Elise's fusion alleviates the symptoms on the one hand, it is not the fundamental solution to the problem. The blood curse has been a problem that has troubled wizards for thousands of years. Even Elise has no hope for this. Every time Astoria uses soul magic, the blood curse in her body will backfire, which is why her face gradually becomes weaker.
"Promise me that in the future, no matter what the circumstances, you will never use soul magic again."
Lewis held Astoria's little hand, looked into her dark blue eyes, and said seriously.
