Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Breaking Through Slytherin (Part 2.2)

"Apparate!"

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"Impedimenta!"

"Apparate!"

"Freeze!"

While constantly changing his position with Apparition to ensure his own safety, William Li turned into a relentless casting machine, using less lethal spells to subdue the young wizards in front of him.

Ninety!

Eighty!

Seventy!

In just one minute, the ranks of Slytherin wizards had visibly reduced by one-third.

"No, we can't continue like this!" Seeing this, Jin gritted his teeth.

If they didn't strategize now, they would surely be defeated by William Li.

Under normal circumstances, they would lose!

But what was the current situation?

William Li was battling against a hundred people alone!

In this scenario, if they were defeated outright, would they still have any pride left?

Moreover, William Li was just a first-year, and their defeat would be even more humiliating!

Thinking this!

Jin Ye quickly devised a plan and shouted, "Everyone, come closer to me, let's huddle together, point our wands outward, and cast spells whenever he appears, giving him no chance to strike!"

As a senior student about to graduate and a leader, although he was previously defeated, he still commanded significant respect among many Slytherin students.

So!

When he gave the command, the Slytherins who were intimidated by William Li's performance immediately complied, forming a tight circle with their wands facing outward.

In response!

"Futile effort!"

William Li shook his head.

Huddling together and pointing their wands outward meant that no matter where William Li Apparated, he could be quickly spotted and counterattacked.

Under normal circumstances, any wizard would find this challenging.

But!

Was William Li a normal wizard?

No!

Thinking quickly!

"Apparate!"

He used the spell once again.

But this time!

His target was in the air! ! !

William Li appeared above the heads of the Slytherins.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"Stupefy!"

"Impedimenta!"

Three consecutive spells rendered three unlucky wizards incapacitated.

Huddling together could indeed ensure that no matter which direction William Li appeared from, he would be detected instantly, but attacking from above was clearly an exception.

And Jin also spotted William Li's position immediately.

In the air!

"How is it possible!?" He exclaimed in disbelief.

Apparition is a spell typically learned by those over 17, and as an 18-year-old, Jin could also perform it.

But because he knew the spell, he understood how formidable William Li's feat was.

Normally, Apparition requires precise coordinate positioning in one's mind and a clear memory of the destination's surroundings to be executed.

But in mid-air, where there are no reference points and surroundings are indistinct, pinpointing a location is extremely difficult.

Thus, the complexity of teleporting into the air is beyond most wizards' capabilities.

To date, Jin had never seen any wizard teleport into the air like William Li.

On the other side!

"Apparate!"

After casting three spells in quick succession, William Li, who could not remain airborne, used Apparate again to teleport back into the air.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"Stupefy!"

"Impedimenta!"

After another combination attack, three more wizards fell.

But it was not over yet!

Next, the entire hall became William Li's personal demonstration of power.

"Apparate!"

"Apparate!"

"Apparate!"

Through continuous use of Apparate, William Li shifted his position between the air, the ground, and every corner, eluding capture while methodically casting spells.

50!

40!

30!

The number of Slytherin wizards dwindled like water escaping a breached dam, decreasing rapidly.

But there was no remedy.

Under William Li's relentless Apparition and spellcasting, the remaining Slytherins could only watch helplessly as their comrades fell one by one.

They couldn't even track William Li's movements.

As their numbers dwindled, despair, fear, and terror spread among the remaining Slytherins.

"Terrifying, too terrifying!"

"Too strong!"

"There is absolutely no way!"

They huddled together, but felt no safety in numbers.

Even Jin, who had initially tried to organize a counterattack, was hoarse with disbelief, "How can such a monster exist!"

Soon!

The number of Slytherins dwindled to just over ten.

But those remaining were thoroughly intimidated.

"No more, no more!"

"I concede, I concede, you will be our Head Prefect from now on!"

"Please, no more, I surrender!"

As they spoke, they threw down their wands, indicating no will to continue the confrontation.

If the disparity was not vast, they might not have given up.

But was the gap vast now?

It was colossal!

They couldn't even see William Li's form.

In such a situation, how could they fight?

They couldn't.

Facing William Li was like ordinary people confronting giants in "Attack on Titan," devoid of any capacity to resist, with nothing but despair in their hearts.

And observing this, William Li also ceased his offensive.

"Do you admit defeat?" he asked with a smile.

"Admit defeat, admit defeat, we all admit defeat!"

The remaining ten or so Slytherins hurriedly affirmed.

William Li looked again at Jin, who stood in the middle and had held out till the end.

"And you?" he inquired.

Jin took a deep breath and also discarded his wand, stating, "I admit defeat."

What choice did he have?

Given William Li's terrifying strength, he saw no possibility of victory—how could he fight?

"Hmm!"

With a nod, William Li began to remove the spells from the Slytherins who had been immobilized or petrified.

In short order!

All the Slytherins had their spells lifted by him.

After they checked themselves and found no issues, they instinctively focused their awed gazes on William Li.

If the disparity in strength was slight, they might strive to catch up, but when the gap was so immense it induced despair, all that remained was adoration and admiration.

This was now the sentiment among the Slytherins.

Suddenly!

"Head Prefect!"

Someone shouted out.

Then!

"Head Prefect!"

"Head Prefect!"

"Head Prefect!"

All the Slytherins chanted in unison, loudly affirming William Li's new status.

At that moment!

They fully acknowledged William Li as the Head Prefect.

In response!

While William Li displayed a satisfied smile, he thought, "Strike while the iron is hot and announce the long-planned system."

Right now, having just vanquished all of Slytherin, his prestige was at its zenith.

Introducing his system at this juncture would undoubtedly yield the best effect.
