Fleur expressed her experience in the most concise words.
When they learned that there are many Kappas in the lake, the judges frowned tightly.
"Dumbledore, stop the task, they are no match for Kappas in the water."
Madame Maxime again proposes to stop the task, and Percy didn't say anything this time.
If there are deaths because of his obstruction, he can't bear to take the blame for such a serious issue.
Percy, who thought he was shrewd, kept silent and acted as a transparent person.
Bagman frowned tightly: "But there is a contract with the Goblet of Fire. If the task is not completed, the champions will be punished."
"Who said they didn't participate in the competition, aren't they participating at the moment? It's just that they gave up halfway."
The cunning fellow Karkaroff immediately thought of a solution.
At this time, the professors of Hogwarts also stepped down from the stands.
Fake Moody sneered when he heard Karkaroff's words: "The problem now is that there are hostages under stasis down there."
"Judging from the number of dead and injured mermaids, even if there are mermaids in the water, they are probably hiding. What about those people? Who will protect them? Who will rescue them?"
These words stopped everyone.
If they have to deal with one or two Kappas underwater, the professors can do it.
But if they want to deal with a bigger group of them…
All eyes turned to Dumbledore.
Wizards above the quasi-legendary level have no problem dealing with Kappas even underwater.
Seeing this, Dumbledore gave a wry smile, and looked vaguely at his gloved right hand.
The curse on the resurrection stone ring has not been lifted until now. Although there is a potion provided by Snape to suppress it.
But he also uses most of his magic power to control the damage of the curse.
Dumbledore was simply incapable of going into the water to save someone at this moment.
The helplessness and wry smile that flashed in his eyes were all seen by Professor Snape.
Noticing that Dumbledore hid his right hand, Snape frowned, the old man only had a few months to live.
He didn't know what Lucas was thinking.
If Dumbledore is not given the water of life, he might really end up dying.
When everyone was at a loss, Dumbledore suddenly looked at Fleur who was being treated beside them.
"Miss Delacour, how did you get rid of those Kappas?"
Fleur blushed and said, "It was Mr Grindelwald, he rushed to rescue me!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
The next moment, Dumbledore's phoenix patronus appeared in front of everyone.
The silver phoenix flew towards the black lake and plunged into the water.
Lucas, who was on his way underwater, was suddenly blocked by a silver phoenix.
"Lucas, please bring the hostages back safely, please, if you encounter the three other champions, please inform them to return in time."
Hearing the voice transmission of the patronus, Lucas waved his wand: "Expecto Patronum!"
The silver-white eastern dragon flew to the surface of the water with his reply and he continued to rush towards the center of the lake.
At this time, the waters in front of him suddenly became cloudy, and bright red blood floated in front of Lucas.
Harry looked at the fast-swimming monster in front of him, holding his wand up carefully.
Behind him was Viktor Krum, who had passed out.
It can be seen from the large and small wounds on Krum's body and the surrounding Kappa corpses that Mr. Star should have experienced a big battle before.
The final result was that he managed to kill two of the monsters, but he was seriously injured and very close to death.
Fortunately, Harry arrived in time, otherwise Krum might have been dismembered.
'What the hell are these green monsters?'
For Harry, who doesn't like reading very much, it seems normal that he doesn't know the water monster like Kappas.
"Relashio!"
This is a spell that normally just forces the target to release whatever they're holding in their hands, but underwater, it launches a boiling stream of water.
Seeing the monster sinking towards the bottom of the lake after being hit, Harry didn't let his guard down.
He looked at the aquatic plants around him. It is clear that there are still many green monsters like the one just now lurking inside.
And their targets are himself and Krum behind him.
'There must be some way of dealing with them!'
Harry's brain was running fast, and he accidentally saw his own feet.
At the moment his feet looked like diving fins.
This is the convenience brought to him by the gillyweed, which allows him to swim freely in the water, even at a speed no less than that of a mermaid.
"swim?"
Harry suddenly had an idea and tried to swim from side to side.
Seeing several monsters rushing out of the water plants, he immediately swam to the side, and made a look like he was about to escape.
Sure enough, those green monsters all chased after him.
"Relashio!"
"Relashio!"
"Relashio!"
Several spells in succession successfully knocked down the monsters that were closer. Then he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Krum at nearly twice the speed as before.
Harry grabbed Krum's robe and swam desperately to the surface. As long as the two reach the surface, he believes the professors will help immediately.
Although this idea was very good, unfortunately he underestimated Krum's weight and the resistance of dragging a man in the water.
The Kappas caught up to him within seconds.
These magical creatures are proficient in controlling the water flow. Several small streams of water pierced Harry's legs in an instant.
The legs that were swinging desperately stopped, and pulled by Krum's weight, Harry quickly sank towards the bottom of the lake.
The Kappas didn't seem to intend to let go of Harry, who dared to play tricks on them.
A thin stream of water pierced Harry's stomach and shoulders like bullets, the pain was so intense that he nearly passed out.
At this time, he noticed that some monsters were swimming deeper.
Judging from the direction, Harry guessed that these monsters probably spotted Ronald and the others, making him become desperate.
He held up his arm enduring the excruciating pain, but before he could say the spell, a monster bit his wrist.
The blood immediately stained the nearby water red, and the wand also slipped from his hand because of the pain.
Looking at the monsters that gradually surrounded him, he knew that he was in danger.
But when he saw Krum next to him, he felt a strange sense of comfort. At least someone else died with him.
Slowly closing his eyes, water flowed into the gills below his ears and oxygen was filtered into his lungs.
Having finally tasted the oxygen, he gave up.
But after a long time, he didn't feel any new pain coming. Even the monster that was biting his wrist loosened its mouth.
Harry opened his eyes suspiciously and saw the terrified expressions of the monsters.
When he followed the monster's gaze, he saw a group of sharks made out of water swimming towards this side with their mouths wide open.
The biggest shark was at least 20 meters long.
Harry looked carefully at the shark's belly again, and found that the person in the big shark's belly was Lucas.
"Lucas!"
Harry called the other person's name loudly. At this moment, he was really glad to meet him.
The sharks easily drove those monsters away, even killed several of them.
When Harry and Krum were swallowed by the big shark, only then did Harry realize that there was no water in the shark's body, but it was full of oxygen.
"Lucas, thank you for saving me!"
"No, it's just a request."
Lucas' tone remained indifferent, but Harry didn't care. He immediately understood who told Lucas to come and save him.
It must be Dumbledore.
Harry discovered his uniqueness early on, and Dumbledore said he was the key to defeating You-Know-Who.
Lucas also unconditionally protected him again and again. Even Snape, who hated him the most, got involved in protecting him in his first year.
And now Professor Moody, who always shows a vicious look to others, is actually very fond of him.
A little smugness suddenly rose in his heart.
Lucas didn't know that Harry still had the time to think about these useless things.
He glanced at the seriously injured Krum and said, "I'll send you up first."
"No, I have to save Ron!"
"I'm here to save them, I am faster!"
He couldn't help but think in his mind 'I'm stronger, I'm smarter, I'm better, I am Better!'
Lucas didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
Waving the magic wand he stopped the bleeding of the two, and then the water shark wrapped the two of them and rushed to the surface of the water.
Before leaving, Harry pointed to the center of the lake and shouted: "Some monsters are going in that direction, that must be where Ron and the others are."
Lucas nodded, and with a wave of his wand, the shark shot toward the surface like an arrow.
…
Dumbledore was relieved after receiving the message from Lucas, but the people next to him didn't trust Lucas that much.
"Dumbledore, handing over everyone's life to a child who is just 14 years old, I think you are really getting too old."
"If the students from our school have any problems, I will definitely ask your Ministry of Magic for an explanation."
Maxime and Karkaroff were in some sort of tacit understanding. Since receiving Lucas' patronus message, the voice of complaints have not stopped.
Dumbledore listened silently, not talking back.
When the people are rescued, the two will naturally shut up. He has a lot of confidence in Lucas' strength.
At this moment, the surface of the water surged and Cedric walked towards the shore alone.
He was not injured, and even his bubble-head charm was intact.
"Cedric, are you all right?"
Seeing the appearance of the judges, Cedric shook his head tightly.
"Then have you encountered the Kappas?"
As soon as Dumbledore finished asking, Cedric's face turned pale.
"I saw them!"
He told exactly what he saw.
It turned out that when Krum was attacked, this guy was hiding in the plants not far away.
He saw Krum lose his blood and pass out with his own eyes. He also saw how Harry fought against water monsters and how he was injured.
He took advantage of Harry and Krum who were attracting the monster's attention and ran away to save his own life.
Cedric bowed his head in shame, but no one blamed him for it. Not everyone would dare to step forward to help in that situation.
Hearing that both Harry and Krum had been injured, the judges present frowned.
Karkaroff even yelled that he planned to go into the water himself.
The stands on the shore were completely silent at the moment.
When the audience heard Cedric's words, they didn't expect the lake to be so dangerous.
At this moment, there was movement on the lake again. The bubbles that surged this time were bigger than the previous ones.
Under everyone's gaze, a large shark formed of water jumped out of the lake.
Everyone could see clearly that Harry Potter and Viktor Krum were still sitting inside the shark's belly.
When Harry was in the air he saw the judges on the shore.
He looked at Dumbledore and shouted: "Professor Dumbledore, save Ron quickly, those monsters are going to kill them!"
This sentence directly detonated the scene, and the audience immediately started shouting.
