demon hunter at hogwarts

Chapter 161 Unsettled Night

Both groups of people were making their own preparations, and Regulus was certainly not idle either.

The dark night is a big obstacle to other wizards, but these obstacles are now so small for him that they are almost negligible.

Like a ghost, he moved silently through the woods, and soon passed the place where he had caught the ghoul.

The whole forest was eerily quiet.

Even in Albania's frightening black forest, in addition to dark magical creatures, there are also ordinary nocturnal animals.

But in this forest, Regulus didn't even hear the chirping of insects or the sound of mice turning leaves.

Only the breeze blew through the leaves, making a few rustling sounds occasionally.

As the terrain got higher and higher, Regulus made some other discoveries.

For example, this forest has not been visited by anyone before.

Upstream of a waterfall in the forest, an old and dilapidated stone bridge spans the river.There is a broken stone tablet that has fallen to the ground at the head of the bridge. The writing on it has long been eroded away by the years.

Regulus stood at the end of the bridge and looked in the direction he was coming from. He immediately found that the view here was quite good, and he had an unobstructed view of the entire southern foot of the hill.

With a thought in his mind, he muttered silently: "The traces are revealed."

A faint golden smoke immediately emerged from the end of the wand, shrouding the entire stone bridge inside.

Sure enough, within the scope of the spell, several particularly bright flash points appeared, which were traces of recent magical activities.

Among them was a pair of footprints, the marks left by men's leather boots.

"The original body appears." Regulus muttered softly.

The golden smoke immediately gathered towards the footprints, twisted and condensed in the air, and finally formed the illusion of a man, and he was an old acquaintance.

"Long time no see, Buddy..."

As soon as he finished speaking, three red lights shot out from different directions in the forest, but they only targeted him.

Regulus seemed to have been prepared. He had already retreated a few meters away, and a faint light curtain appeared in front of him.

Three red lights hit the stone bridge, blasting out several shallow craters.

"Is he an Auror from the Ministry of Magic? Should we kill him?" a female voice said frivolously, "Or leave him for my fun?"

"Perhaps, we should capture him and let the master ask why he is here." Another hoarse male voice sounded, "The master asked us to listen to you, you have the final say."

"Get him," said the third man in a cold, stern voice.

"I want to remind you." Regulus said with a sneer, "Before you arrange the fate of others casually, it is best to ask that person's opinion first."

"In our eyes, you are already a dead person. Dead people don't need to express their opinions..." Just as the third person was mid-sentence, the woman suddenly screamed: "Heart-breaking!"

The Cruciatus Curse was in vain.

"Although you have changed your appearance, your spell-casting habits cannot be changed..." Regulus sighed, "Bellatrix Lestrange, are you right?"

"I've told you this is unnecessary!" Bella, who was found out, angrily complained to the third person, "I still like the way I look!"

The other two people were naturally Travers and Barty Jr. They originally planned to take advantage of the night to sneak attack the camp of the Ministry of Magic Operation Team, but they didn't expect to meet Regulus halfway. In the dark night, they couldn't see clearly. Regulus looked like he was an Auror from the Ministry of Magic.

"If you keep complaining, that person will run away." Little Barty pointed his wand at Regulus without even blinking.

Bella had already launched an attack, and the stone slab Regulus was standing on suddenly moved, and then exploded suddenly, with rubble flying in all directions.

The ancient stone bridge had experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and finally, under Bella's spell, it was overwhelmed and collapsed.Regulus' figure also disappeared.

The corners of Travers' mouth twitched unconsciously.

It seemed that Bella had restrained herself just now in the castle.

"Is that person dead?" he asked little Barty next to him.

"It's still early..." Little Barty said softly.

They knew Bella's character, so they just stood aside and watched, not joining the siege.

"My dear, where are you hiding?" Bella raised her wand and glanced around, provoking, "Are you hiding in the rabbit hole and afraid to come out?"

The next second, two hands suddenly stretched out from the soil under her feet and grasped her ankles tightly.

Bella reacted quickly, slashed down with the wand, and the powerful spell cut off the two hands like a sharp blade, and the hands immediately turned into a pile of fine sand.

But before the attack was over, a big tree nearby suddenly came to life, and its thick branches swept towards Bella with the sound of howling wind.

Bella planned to avoid it, but when she raised her legs, she realized that the pile of fine sand had turned into chains at some point, tying her feet to the ground.

In desperation, she cast a blasting spell directly on the branch, and then used an armor spell to protect herself.

With a loud noise, the branch, which was as thick as an adult's waist, was blown off the tree and fell from the air, pinning Bella underneath.

Bella fell to the ground in embarrassment. Although she was not injured due to the protection of the iron armor spell, she was entangled in the messy branches and could not break free for a while.

Only then did Regulus reappear, raising his wand and issuing two spells. Bella's iron armor spell was about to be broken.

"Shattered to pieces!" At this time, Barty Jr. took action in time.

Regulus withdrew his wand and blocked the spell.

Little Barty didn't expect that the powerful Bella would be defeated after just two or three rounds with this mysterious guy. And that guy didn't seem to use any particularly advanced magic, just some basic blinding techniques and transformation. technique.

What little Barty didn't know was that Regulus had a way to see their actions clearly in the dark, but they couldn't.

"Come together!" Little Barty and Travers quickly reached an agreement. This is not the time to take Bella's face into account. If the pressure continues, not to mention not being able to catch this guy, he may still be killed. Defeat each one.

The branches that trapped Bella below instantly turned into countless sharp daggers, shooting towards Regulus.

Valley Eagle only heard a series of dense muffled sounds. The daggers were all nailed to the tree trunk behind Regulus, but two red lights came from behind a tree on the left side of Travers.

Travers was caught off guard and simply rolled on the spot, awkwardly dodging two stun spells, but the Cruciatus Curse he cast in counterattack only hit a ball of air behind the tree.

The forest suddenly fell into an eerie silence again.

Travers turned over and stood up, back to back with little Barty, spit out the rotten leaves in his mouth, and said bitterly: "This is the master you call... right? Why don't I remember that there are Aurors? Such a number one person?"

"Maybe we should read more newspapers..." Little Barty looked around vigilantly, wary of the attack that would appear at any time.

They were originally planning to attack someone else's side, but now they were the ones being attacked. This made Barty Jr. feel angry and a little helpless at the same time.

"Despicable coward! Bastard! Come out and fight me!" Bella looked quite embarrassed at this time, with disheveled hair and a torn sleeve.She didn't care about repairing it, she just threw spells around randomly while cursing loudly, "Don't let me catch you!"

Explosions continued, and Bella's spell caused considerable damage to the ancient forest, but it was unable to hit Regulus.

Regulus, who was hiding in the darkness, had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing.

It was the first time in so many years that he heard a Death Eater call someone mean.

Of course he would not be stupid enough to go out and confront these three guys head-on. Regardless of their magic power or ruthlessness, those three people were among the best among the Death Eaters.

Now, firstly, the other party had insufficient information and did not know what he was capable of; secondly, he had the advantage in the dark night and was able to temporarily restrain the three of them.

"I hope they don't sleep too hard." Regulus glanced at the direction where the Ministry of Magic team was camping, suddenly became alert, and subconsciously jumped to the side to avoid it.

The next second, a purple flame passed quickly from where he had just been hiding, burning a fist-sized hole through the big tree where he was hiding.

Then, two green lights flew over, with a very clear target, himself.

Regulus dodged the green light, and he clearly saw little Barty licking his lips and grinning ferociously, mouthing silently: "I found you."

As one of the few people who has obtained 12 OWLs certificates, little Barty is also involved in many side magics, and those magics are usually regarded as "weak and useless" by Bella and Travers.

Just now, taking advantage of Bella's random spells to create chaos, little Barty secretly released the detection spell to the surroundings. In this way, they could determine the location of Regulus without being blinded.

A barrage of fireballs shot out from Bella's wand. Regulus nimbly dodged her attacks. Soon, trees within a few dozen meters began to burn.

The firelight illuminated the dark forest.

Regulus spat, making it harder for him to sneak up on him.

"Sudden whirlwind!" Little Barty suddenly released a hurricane spell. Sweeping by the hurricane spell, the flames turned into a thick pillar of fire, which was about to devour Regulus directly.

Travers cast two petrification spells in a sinister manner. The spells had almost no light and were completely invisible under the huge pillar of fire.

The three of them all thought that Regulus would be captured now, but they heard Regulus pointing at the pillar of fire and saying: "The God of Fire will clear the way!"

The pillar of fire split into two halves directly in the middle and passed by Regulus.

Then, those flames escaped from the control of Bella and Barty Jr., suddenly rolled back, and launched a backlash against them.

As for Travers' sneak attack, the petrification spell only caused two ripples on the light screen in front of Regulus.

"Oh? You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve..." Bella tilted her head and stared at Regulus with interest, "I'm more interested in killing you... You want to play with something hot, right? Then... …How about this?”

The flames in the forest began to transform, forming various terrifying and ferocious creatures, such as fire dragons, chimaeras, and basilisks, and they grew larger and larger.

Little Barty sighed secretly.

Bella was completely out of control. Once this fierce fire was set off, if it was not restrained in time, the entire forest would be burned to the ground.

Unless everyone in the Ministry of Magic has fallen asleep, the movement has definitely been discovered by now, and the sneak attack is definitely impossible to succeed.

The key point now is to fight quickly. This guy is already in trouble. If his support arrives, the situation will not be good.

Fortunately, the battle situation seemed to be developing in their favor. Under the joint attack of him and Travers, the man could only parry and had no time to fight back.

Under Bella's control, those fierce fires quickly surrounded the man and trapped him in the middle of a small open space.

Under the bright firelight, Bella and others finally saw Regulus' true face clearly and temporarily stopped attacking.

"Good evening." Li Huo was already burning beside him, but Regulus just waved his hand lightly.

"I thought he was an Auror from the Ministry of Magic..." Little Barty's tone seemed a bit complicated, "Old friend, we haven't seen each other for so many years, but when we meet, we want to beat you to death?"

"So, you escaped execution that year?" Travers stared at Regulus coldly, "Your traitor brother also tried to find out your whereabouts from us."

On the contrary, Bella, who was the most impulsive, was just gasping for breath and said nothing.

Finally, she just asked softly: "Where is the dagger?"

"Here." Regulus took out the two daggers and threw them back to Bella, "They are indeed very useful."

"But you didn't use them to do what you were supposed to do." Bella took the dagger and flicked the blade that reflected the firelight.

"We have completely different views on what I should do." Regulus said with a smile, "The path you choose will only lead the family to destruction."

Bella suddenly laughed: "Do you know what I should do now?"

"Let me think about it..." Regulus still kept smiling, "Kill me?"

As soon as the word "I" was spoken, the four people started taking action in unison.

The monsters composed of fierce fire launched a fierce attack on Regulus from several directions at the same time. Travers directed a death curse at Regulus, while Barty Jr. reversed his wand, and under the three of them, A powerful iron armor spell was released behind him.

At the same moment, a green ring of fire bloomed around Regulus, mixed with the orange fire. Those fierce fires that devoured everything could not do anything about this strange green flame, but felt suppressed. trend.

The green light of the Death Curse was dodged by Regulus, but a thin green electric light emitted from the fingertips of Regulus' free left hand and hit Travers, who was about to issue the third After two spells, he felt the condensed magic power burning in his body. The pain was completely different from the Cruciatus Curse, but equally unbearable. He couldn't help but let out a scream.

Several rays of red light from the Stunning Curse emerged from the woods behind Little Barty and hit the light screen of the Iron Armor Curse, making a crackling explosion.

"I was just wondering if I had to make more noise to wake you up." Regulus looked past Barty Jr. and Bella and looked at the person coming.
