Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple
Chapter 164: Tide of Inferi
"Is everyone ready?"
Dumbledore's voice spread all around, and Sirius and Nico Flamel were waiting for it with serious faces, ready to attack at any time.
They knew that they were the main force in this battle against the Inferi, and facing thousands of Inferi, even they felt the pressure doubled.
Harry moved over to Louis and stood side by side with him.
"Are you scared, Louis?"
"Inferi?" Lewis shook his head, "Actually, there's nothing terrible about it, but I've never experienced anything like this before, and I don't think I'll ever encounter it in the future."
Of course, it is impossible to say that you are not afraid at all. The Inferi are different from wizards. As a product of black magic, they have no feelings and will not flinch even if they are knocked down.
"Yeah, I didn't expect Sirius's brother to be such a person." Harry's hand holding the wand was trembling slightly. He was a little nervous inside. He had never been so nervous before, even in the Chamber of Secrets. Facing Tom Riddle and the Basilisk inside, he didn't feel panic this time.
Louis nodded. According to Sirius, Regulus was a fool who only pursued Voldemort for his own benefit. But in the face of such danger, this seventeen-year-old boy resolutely came to the cave to get the Horcrux. Even though he knew that the potion was poisonous, he was unwilling to let Kreacher drink it and chose himself instead.
Facing the wave-like army of Inferi, he no longer feared, but chose to face death calmly and become one of them. In this way, Regulus's achievements may be more selfless and greater than any living member of the Order of the Phoenix.
"This time we are fighting side by side again, Harry." Louis smiled and pointed his wand at the gap, "This may be a good opportunity."
An opportunity to hone your practical experience.
When everyone was in fighting mode, Dumbledore raised his wand and cast a spell towards that place.
The magic spell fell on the lake and made an earth-shattering explosion, causing a large amount of water splash. The lake surface affected by this became no longer calm, as if an alarm was turned on, waking up all the sleeping corpses in the lake. .
The surface of the lake churned violently, and large white hands stretched out from the water, and then more and more. As the arms appeared, the heads and bodies of the Inferi gradually emerged from the lake and moved closer to their rocks.
The true appearance of the Inferi made Louis shudder. The zombie disaster movies he had watched, even "The Walking Dead" and "Resident Evil", were not as terrifying as the scene before him.
Those milky-white inferi were like a combination of zombies and mummies, with slightly craggy features. They had no thoughts and just crawled towards the island where they were.
"Shattered to pieces!"
Louis took the lead, and the red light hit the Inferi that had just climbed up. One arm was blown away by Louis' crushing spell, but it didn't seem to stop it.
"Don't use the Crushing Curse on the children, it's useless against them." Nicoléme yelled at Louis. Three rays of light came out of his wand, and he easily knocked back the few Inferi that had just climbed ashore back to the lake.
"We need to stop them, not eliminate them to buy time for Sirius and Kreacher." Dumbledore said. He did not take action at this moment, but held up his wand as if preparing an extremely advanced magic. "Remember, Yin Corpses cannot be killed."
Lewis squinted his eyes. Indeed, a curse that can cause a lot of damage to humans is not very effective in dealing with the Inferi. It is not as good as using a barrier spell to repel the curse.
Next to Louis, Harry released his magic in a panic, but most of the attack spells either fell into the air or were ineffective. The struck Inferi only shook its body and did not fall to the ground or move backwards. Fly away.
"Don't fight like this, Harry. Magic spells have a specific attack range. The longer the distance, the weaker the effect. Besides, you don't have enough magic power now."
Sirius was already standing next to Harry at some point. He was demonstrating to Harry while using magic spells to attack the Inferi.
"You try again." Sirius pointed at an Inferi that had just climbed up from the shore. This time he did not attack, but gave it to Harry.
Harry took a deep breath and looked at the slightly terrifying Inferi gradually approaching, his eyes became firm.
The Inferi was extremely fast. It had arrived in front of Harry in less than five seconds and was about to pounce on him. Nico Flamel behind him wanted to fight back, but was stopped by Sirius, who shook his head at him. shook his head.
"There are many obstacles!"
With an indomitable belief, Harry almost used his greatest strength. A much thicker red light burst out from the wand, and the Inferi suddenly flew back and fell into the water through the gap.
"Beautiful, Harry." Sirius whistled, "That's it. Remember not to panic. The most taboo thing in battle is fear."
Harry gasped for air. He had used almost all his strength in that moment, and felt a sense of weakness that his magic power had been drained away. However, he held on and kept fighting with his wand.
Louis tried to repel a few more Inferi, but even so, he felt that there were more and more Inferi around him. There were a lot of ripples on the protective shield built by Nico Flame and Sirius, and those Inferi kept attacking and biting. I didn't feel tired at all.
This is also their shortcoming. It is often unwise to fight a war of attrition with the Inferi, but now they have to adopt this strategy.
It is true that the Inferi are afraid of light and fire, but if Regulus has not been found yet, using these spells will have the opposite effect. The Inferi ran away when they fell, but Regulus was still in the vast lake of corpses. If you can't find it anywhere, your work will be in vain.
He observed his surroundings and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
In last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Remus Lupine mentioned some combat skills, but Louis didn't pay much attention at the time.
Now that I think about it, applying those techniques here might be of some use. Anyway, I can't change the situation of the battle. It would be best if I could delay it for a little longer.
Lu Ping once said that if the environment can be used as an auxiliary in battles between wizards, the chances of winning will naturally be much greater.
Of course, the battle here is not a duel between gentleman wizards like Lockhart and Snape. The battle here is about your own life and freedom. If you make good use of the things around you at all costs, you can tilt the balance of victory in your favor. .
Louis looked at the surrounding lakes and rocks, and already had some decisions in his mind.
