This time, even Gryffindor's rock-like expression showed some astonishment, along with Bryan's. They both gazed at the huge skeleton that emerged from the misty fog. It was a colossal creature that had long been extinct, with a skull that could swallow a whole boat and ribs that arched like bridges. Its bones were draped with moss and vines, as if it had been part of the swamp for ages. It was a relic of a forgotten era, a testament to the ancient glory and tragedy of magic.
Bryan felt that he had been stripped away from reality. The oak boat under his feet was not parading in the swamp, but wandering in the long river of time. Some ancient wizarding scenes that were older than a thousand years ago were leaking through the gaps of time. The mottled light and shadow brought great shock to Bryan's soul. He saw flashes of battles and rituals, of glory and decay, of magic and mystery. He felt like he was traveling through history, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations.
"The world was still intact — , the magnificent era of magic–" Gryffindor finally spoke again, sighing deeply. However, his unconscious murmurs made Bryan frown. What did he mean by the world was still intact in the era of magic? Was there anything missing in the present world?
Bryan suddenly regretted that he had spent most of his time studying spell models in Professor Binns' history of magic class. If he had listened carefully, maybe he could understand what Gryffindor's words meant. But this might not be the case either. The secrets of these unknown times must have been far beyond the modern wizarding history revised by modern wizards. Perhaps even in the era of the four founders, there were also secrets that only a few people knew.
The eerie screams of the female ghosts around them disappeared, and the world fell into eternal silence. The boat carrying the two of them sailed into a deeper fog, and the visibility was very low. Bryan could only see the scenery within ten feet of his side.
Gryffindor waved his sword again and began to slash the space in front of him, dispelling the evil breath of death in the air. Bryan didn't know if the previous generation priests of the Druids who came here also followed Gryffindor's traces of time to enter the center of Avalon Island. If not, Bryan didn't know how much price they had to pay to get here step by step.
If Bryan broke in alone without any external help, he would not be able to get here without a few days. It was also thanks to Cliodna that woman who thought so highly of him and thought he could deal with the dangers in the ruins.
Just then, many fist-sized yellow lights suddenly appeared in the misty fog, like lanterns hanging in mid-air, swaying slightly.
Bryan was suddenly alert. Since he entered this island, he hadn't seen anything that could move except Gryffindor! Unconsciously, he stood up from his half-squatting position, stepped on the hull of the oak boat with one foot, and leaned out half of his body over the mirror-like calm water.
The frequency of those 'lanterns' swaying gradually increased. Hundreds of yellow light clusters emitted mysterious magic. Bryan vaguely sensed something wrong, because he felt a strong charm from the magic. And when he was about to forcibly 'break off' his gaze and withdraw his body, those light clusters suddenly brightened up like they were stimulated by something. Bryan felt dizzy and lost his balance and fell into the lake.
Boom!
As if a drop of water fell into a boiling oil pan, the calm lake and fog above it boiled like boiling water. The world shook suddenly!
What a shame! At that moment when his body lost balance, Bryan knew that he had been tricked. At the same time, he also guessed what those 'lanterns' were. They were a group of Hinkypunks who liked to live in swamps and confuse wizards.
Because they were in a special state between illusion and reality, they escaped death by luck and accidentally gained several times stronger under the influence of death and decay magic. As a powerful wizard, Bryan was also agile. He only took less than three seconds to fall into the water and turn over to get back on board. But the shaking world still couldn't calm down, but became more and more intense!
"Mr. Gryffindor–" Bryan looked at the bones around him that had been sleeping in death but awakened by his stimulation, and said jokingly, "Do you have any way to make this boat go faster? I seem to have caused some trouble!"
Godric Gryffindor ignored the bones that had been sleeping in death but awakened by Bryan's stimulation. This was natural, because he did not exist in this time and space and could not give Bryan any help at all!
Splash!
The world that had been silent for eternity suddenly stirred up a strong wind that made waves on the shallow lake. The fog around them also quickly dispersed in the strong wind. In addition to those skeletons of Cerberus, dragons, and flying hipogriffs, the huge skeleton of a titan-like giant also stood up completely. The hollow eye sockets stared at Bryan accurately. What this army of undead was going to do next was self-evident.
"If Thanatos saw you, I'm afraid he would drool–"
Bryan used jokes to suppress the horror in his heart. The magic that gushed out of his body made his wizarding robe swell. His lavender pupils shot out a solemn and sharp look.
Roar!
The giant skeleton roared and shook the sky. The raging waves wrapped in ominous magic rushed wildly. Even the 'pure land' created by Gryffindor was polluted. Bryan was once again suppressed by the evil death breath that filled this place. The fire dragon swooped down from the air, the Cerberus shook its ferocious heads, and bared its teeth and ran on the waves. In an instant, Bryan was surrounded!
And just when the first bone dragon approached the oak boat within a hundred feet, Bryan swung his wand vigorously. With a sharp scream, a giant water snake as tall as a giant stood up from the rolling waves. A tail swing that weighed like ten thousand catties directly smashed those 'small' fire dragons and Cerberus into bone dust, splashing all over the sky.
In the sparse scorched forest, two huge creatures stared at each other across a negligible distance. What lingered around them was an indescribable killing!
Boom!
A strong shock wave like a meteor hitting the ground swept across, overturning everything in sight. The giant skeleton grabbed the head of the water snake transformed by Bryan with one hand, and closed its hard bones. With a snap, it directly crushed the water snake's head.
Bryan's face didn't change. He continued to circle his wand, and those splashes in mid-air reassembled into the water snake's head. At the same time, the huge snake body rose up and wrapped around the giant skeleton's body, trying to strangle it!
Huh-——
The scene of two epic-like powerful magical creatures fighting in the most direct way could bring an unparalleled impact to the soul. Bryan stood in the white barrier that protected the oak boat, his gray hair flying, his cheeks flushed, and an unprecedented excitement was washing his soul!
"Let me see your skills, big guy!" Bryan's eyes were bright, and he shouted excitedly. Then, the tip of his ebony wand spewed out magic fire. The golden flame ignited the lake water and dyed the gray sky gold. In a few moments, another mountain-like golden flame giant snake descended on the world. The roar it made caused some ripples in space.
Two giant snakes like earthly pythons wrapped around the giant skeleton's arms with their heads, and their bodies coiled around the huge bones and tightened with all their strength.
The rumbling sound like the earth collapsing was endless, and the sound of steel twisting in the air was shocking!
The giant skeleton roared again and again, but no matter how many times it crushed the heads of the water and fire snakes, Bryan would repair them in time and continue to fight with it. To be honest, since he studied at Hogwarts, he had fought with that black witch in the Forbidden Forest until now. This was the first time that Bryan showed all his strength in such a rough way.
The boat was still moving forward. Not far away, a magnificent temple finally showed a vague outline——
