From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Under the dark clouds covering Dol Guldur, the howling of the strong orc came to an abrupt end, because his head, which was reinforced with rivets and iron plates, was broken again, this time not because of a heavy blow from a certain warrior, but because of close contact with the earth.

"Am I late, Gandalf?" Ivy stepped forward quickly to help the old wizard up, ready to move him to a safe place.

"Very timely..." Gandalf showed a bloody smile, "Where are the others from the Holy White Council?... I don't seem to see them?"

"I have passed on the news that you were frustrated here to them, but I don't know the specific situation." Ivy took out a golden cup from his body and handed it to Gandalf's mouth, "Drink, Gandalf, this will make you feel better. Maybe we still need your strength to fight out."

Gandalf didn't say much, and he stammered his lips and approached the golden cup. He hadn't moistened his throat with water or filled his stomach with food for several days.

The amount of recovery from the golden cup is linked to Ivy's level. At the current level of [Scribe Mage/Ancient Fighter], drinking a big mouthful of the liquid in the golden cup can heal 14d8+7 health points, provide an equal amount of temporary health points, and treat deafness, blindness, poisoning, disability and coma, and reduce one level of exhaustion.

Therefore, after taking this mouthful of holy water, Gandalf's face visibly improved. The old wizard was still lying on the ground gasping for breath in the last second, and was ready to swing his staff to smash the heads of several orcs in the next second.

"This is amazing!" The old wizard moved his hands and feet, still unbelievable, "I can't even feel that I'm injured!"

"That's even better." Ivy put the golden cup back and dragged Gandalf out, "We must leave here quickly..."

Ivy and Gandalf had just walked down the dark steps and saw the golden horn parked on the platform. A dry and cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

It came from all directions, just like the wind that penetrates everywhere.

The golden horn neighed uneasily, Ivy drew out the beast bite sword and was on guard, and Gandalf also looked around intently.

The voice chanted: "Under the sky, the kings of the elves have three..."

Ivy heard that it was not a solo voice, but a chorus of many dead souls in tacit cooperation.

Those dead souls continued to chant: "In the stone hall, the dwarf lords have seven..."

"Give me a weapon!" Gandalf shouted at Ivy, "The Nazgul! They are coming!"

"In the world, the mortals who must die have nine!" The chorus of the Ringwraiths suddenly became louder, and black cloaks appeared everywhere on the platform, and the black and silver armor reflected an ominous light.

"Glamdring is coming!" Ivy paused the staff in his hand on the dark stone bricks, and recited the wizard's flying spell loudly. Under the darkness of Sauron, Ivy's spellcasting ability was somewhat liberated.

The lightning-fast sword flew from the darkness, and the bright blade directly pierced through a Ringwraith holding two swords.

The Ringwraiths' wailing became the horn of war. They didn't waste any more words and picked up their weapons to attack Ivy and Gandalf who were surrounded in the middle.

The agile old wizard flew forward, dodging the sweep of the Ringwraith's hammer, and caught the sword summoned by Ivy with a spell.

Ivy overlapped the staff and the beast bite sword, and poured all the arcane energy into the blade. The energy of the three-color elements flowed on the blade, and the golden light from the hilt joined in, making this magic weapon forged in Gondolin in the First Age even more majestic.

The weapons of the Ringwraiths attacked from all directions. Ivy didn't plan to stay where she was and fight them in close combat, but disappeared in a silver mist.

This is the second-level spell Misty Step, which allows Ivy to use a bonus action to move 30 feet.

Ivy chose to land next to Golden Horn on a high place. When the Ringwraiths sang and attacked, the sensitive Golden Horn took the lead to jump to the highest point of the broken wall with the magical power of the West Wind Horseshoe to avoid the evil spirit emanating from the Ringwraiths.

At this time, Ivy flashed to its side, and Golden Horn immediately put his face close to Ivy, indicating that the latter should ride on him to fight.

Ivy followed suit and jumped on the horse.

After his partner sat firmly, Golden Horn immediately jumped down from the height of the wall and launched an attack from a high position.

As a holy creature, Golden Horn's horseshoe can touch the Ringwraiths, who are incorporeal creatures, under the influence of magic, and the Ringwraiths who had never seen a unicorn like Golden Horn before suffered from information asymmetry.

A Ringwraith holding a giant thorn hammer, who was about to attack Gandalf from behind, was stepped on by the horse's hoof.

Ivy swung the beast-biting sword to parry the attacks of the other two Ringwraiths. In the gap between the Ringwraith's attacks, Ivy used her specialty of [Backhand Strike] to launch a lightning-fast opportunity attack. The beast-biting sword surrounded by four different elemental forces made a successful attack and severely injured the two Ringwraiths.

The Ringwraiths, who were immune to the damage of many weapons with their black mist-like invisibility, encountered an opponent like Ivy for the first time. The weapons in his hands could not only hurt them like the weapons blessed by the elves, but also leave injuries that greatly affected their combat effectiveness.

"Be careful of the sword in his hand!" The injured Ringwraith shouted a warning, but Ivy's attack did not stop.

Golden Horn kicked away the hammer Ringwraith that it was trampling back and forth, and charged in another direction with Ivy on its back. Ivy chanted a few spells during the interval of Golden Horn's charge and raised the staff in his hand high.

The dawn light pierced through the layers of dark clouds over Dol Guldur, pouring the sacred wrath on the platform crowded with evil spirits.

The light damage was undoubtedly like boiling water poured into the snow and hot knives inserted into butter for these evil spirits trapped in the Lord of the Rings.

The Ringwraiths exposed to the positive energy field of the five-ring spell Dawn Light were dissipating rapidly. No one was willing to accept this fate, let alone the Ringwraiths who chose to wear the Lord of the Rings because of their greed for worldly power.

They howled away from the platform where the battle was taking place and scattered.

Ivy seized the opportunity to cut off the head of a Ringwraith with two invisible slashes of antelope horns, and the evil undead immediately drifted away like mist.

The two Ringwraiths who were fighting with Gandalf screamed and lost their power to attack under the light of dawn. Gandalf seized the opportunity and swung his sword horizontally, slashing the leg armor of the Ringwraith fiercely, cutting off a large piece of black mist.

"Cut off their connection with the ring! Otherwise, these Nazgul will get a steady supply of power from their evil master!" Gandalf reminded loudly, and he retreated cautiously and stood with Ivy.

Ivy nodded silently. No wonder Gandalf's sword-wielding hand always attacked the lower body of the Ringwraiths. It turned out that he wanted to cut off their arms hanging around their waists.

"Get rid of the green-robed wizard first! This light will suppress our power!" The Ringwraiths soon discovered this fact.

"This spell can't last forever! Wait until the spell stops, and then we will attack!" The Ringwraith wearing a strange iron helmet loudly stopped the ideas of other Ringwraiths and gave his own orders. The helmet had many sharp spikes standing upright, which looked like a crown welded to the helmet.

"That's the head of the Nazgul! The Witch King of Angmar!" Gandalf whispered to Ivy to explain the identity of the Ringwraiths, and at the same time whispered, "How long can your spell last?"

"Not long, but enough for us to leave here." Ivy led Gandalf to rush towards the stairs, and the light column covering the platform also moved with it. The light of dawn can last for one minute, and within this minute, it can move at a speed of 10 feet per second according to Ivy's command. As long as the light column is always around, these Ringwraiths will certainly be cautious.

The Ringwraiths were horrified. They finally got the news of the three rings of the elves that Sauron had always coveted. How dare they let these two people escape?

So the minions of the Dark Lord had to endure the scorching of the dawn and rushed into the light column again to try to intercept Ivy and the others.

But what the Ringwraiths didn't know was that their actions were completely within Ivy's expectations, which was exactly what he wanted.

The two people who were originally running towards the stairs suddenly turned and rushed to the gap in the broken platform again.

The sudden change made the Ringwraiths confused, because they all knew that there was no place to land except the air. Could it be that these two people could grow wings and fly?

The leader of the Nazgul once made his kingdom of Angmar the king of the world, and once became the biggest threat to elves and humans, and even almost wiped out the Dunedain in the north. Therefore, many years of military career made him very clear that no matter how dangerous the enemy made, he should try not to let him get what he wanted.

"Chase!" The Witch King of Angmar shouted and took the lead to chase the two wizards who had jumped off the platform.

Gandalf, who had seen the power of Ivy's spells in the Misty Mountains, naturally would not have any psychological burden about jumping off the high platform. As a spellcaster, Ivy could concentrate on casting spells and stay calm, and naturally would not be distracted by the whistling wind in his ears.

Seeing the Ringwraiths clinging to the outer wall of the Black Fortress and chasing them, Ivy ended the Dawnlight spell concentration in time and used the Feather Fall to save Gandalf and Golden Horn from falling. As for himself, he was protected by the permanent feather fall of the Ravenclaw crown, so he would not be hurt by falling from any height.

Ivy couldn't sit still and watch Gandalf die, so he had to show up to save him. But without the other people of the White Council to attract Sauron's attention, Ivy was not going to entangle with these pathetic undead. It was more important to run away as soon as possible.

The two who landed safely through the Feather Fall immediately ran away, wanting to get rid of the pursuit of the Ringwraiths. As undead Ringwraiths would not be hurt by falling, so Ivy's extraordinary escape route actually only brought the two to a more open area, and they had not actually left the encirclement of the Ringwraiths.

"We need help! Gandalf!" Ivy looked at the Ringwraiths blocking the way and could not help but be alert. These guys would not die even if their heads were chopped off. He had seen the Ringwraith that he had beheaded before reborn.

"Lothlorien is very close to here. If Lady Galadriel really received your message, they should have arrived!" Gandalf, who had lost his staff, held the sword with both hands and stared at the Ringwraiths that were approaching in front of him.

"Wizard! No one will know about your death, and my master will return with the power of the three rings of the elves! The era of orcs has arrived, repent your rash actions in death!" The Witch King of Angmar held the sword of the Morgul and led the other eight Ringwraiths to gradually approach, hoping to bring psychological pressure to the two.

But Ivy's spells were not affected by this. The dragon head on the ebony staff spit out a huge orange-red fireball, which exploded almost instantly.

This fireball was detonated by Ivy at zero distance, only because the explosion range just happened to include all nine Ringwraiths, but he and Gandalf could survive because of the characteristics of [Element Shaping].

The nine Ringwraiths retreated because of the shock wave generated by the explosion, and Ivy grabbed Gandalf and galloped on his horse.

There must be a gap in the encirclement of the Ringwraiths, so that they can have a chance to breathe.

And the direction of Ivy's breakthrough was exactly the direction of the Ringwraith whose head he had cut off before. Although the ring guarantees that they can be reborn continuously, it is absolutely impossible for these Ringwraiths to recover to their full strength instantly, because even Sauron, the master of the Supreme Ring, disappeared for a long time due to the loss of power after the finger wearing the ring was cut off.

These Ringwraiths are just humans, how can they be compared with the fallen Maia?

The beast bite sword in Ivy's hand, which was constantly flowing with four colors of light, suddenly disappeared into the air, leaving a constantly flashing path of light in everyone's vision. In just that moment, the beast bite sword had launched five attacks, repelling the Ringwraiths that came to block one by one.

This is a new spell that Ivy had just learned not long ago, the 5th ring steel wind strike, the effect is to launch a melee spell slash on each of the 5 targets within a range of 30 feet. As long as it hits, it will cause 6d10 force damage, but Ivy replaced the force damage with the radiant damage that is more targeted at these Ringwraiths.

This spell is very effective, with a wide range, and can also teleport the caster to within 5 feet of any target after the attack is completed, not to mention the noble force field damage. It's a pity that Steel Wind Strike cannot be accompanied by weapon attack effects, otherwise the large amount of elemental damage attached to the Beast Bite Sword would be enough for these Ringwraiths to eat a pot.

Steel Wind Strike counts as a combat spell in Ivy's round, and he can use the Beast Bite Sword to attack again.

The glittering Beast Bite Sword quickly slashed out two swords, one hitting the face of the Ringwraith in front of him, and the other cutting off his arm.

With a howl, the Ringwraiths blocking the Golden Horn disappeared, leaving only a golden ring on the ground. The ring face is an orange gem, which is flashing an ominous light, like an eye burning with flames.

Ivy hung sideways on the saddle, reached out to pick up the ring from the ground, and then followed Gandalf to continue to break out.

"You did it! Evie!" Gandalf shouted in surprise, "For so many years, no one has been able to stop the resurrection of the Ringwraiths. We must find a suitable way to suppress him before he recovers his form!"

Evie did not say much but continued to chant the spell on his horse. Soon a puff of smoke formed around the two of them and turned into a black horse in the blink of an eye.

"The dead horse of the Nazgul? Are you wearing the ring?" Gandalf was so shocked that he stood there in a daze.

Evie had no time to talk nonsense with him. With the help of telekinesis, he picked up Gandalf and threw him on the back of the black horse.

"Run first!" Evie whipped the horse and rushed out first.

"Run to the southwest! After crossing the Anduin River is Lothlorien! As long as you enter the Golden Forest, those Nazgul will no longer chase you!" Gandalf also knew that this was not the time to talk too much, so he did not hesitate and rode the black horse behind the golden horn.

The black steed was certainly not a Ringwraith warhorse summoned by Ivy wearing the ring, but a shadow warhorse summoned by the three-ring spell Phantom Horse. This illusion spell is a ritual spell, which normally requires at least one minute to cast. However, as a Scribes wizard, Ivy's Destruction Grimoire allows him to ignore the preparation time of the ritual spell once a day and complete the casting with one action.

It is precisely because of this that Ivy was able to complete a series of actions in a short period of time and take Gandalf away on horseback before the Ringwraiths could react.

The movement speed of Phantom Horse is 100 feet per round, almost twice the normal movement speed of Golden Horn. Therefore, not long after the two started running, Gandalf caught up with Golden Horn from the side.

Ordinary horses still have a sense of racing, let alone a noble and proud creature like a unicorn? Golden Horn's big eyes just noticed that the nose of Phantom Horse was ahead of him, and he immediately ran away.

As a sentient creature, Goldenhorn can sprint, which allows it to close the gap immediately and even surpass Gandalf again.

"They are right behind us!" Gandalf looked back a few times and immediately warned Ivy.

Ivy held the ebony staff tightly, and after reciting a few phrases loudly, he waved it behind him, and a golden brilliant light curtain instantly blocked the Ringwraiths who were also riding on horses to chase.

Several Ringwraiths who were unable to dodge rushed into it, and the war horses under their crotches quickly turned into a pile of dry bones and disappeared.

This is the glorious version of the four-ring fire wall. Ivy does not expect it to completely kill the Ringwraiths, as long as it can stop them for a while and buy some time. Therefore, melting the Ringwraith's mount is a pleasant surprise.

Blocked by Ivy's shining fire wall, it was even more difficult for these Ringwraiths to catch up with Ivy and Gandalf, who had the advantage of the first move, so they had to linger far behind.

The two groups of people, one chasing and the other fleeing, soon came to a place where they could hear the sound of the rushing river.

"We are approaching the Anduin River...ah!" Gandalf fell off his horse before he finished speaking.
