Chapter Thirty: Real Lurking! Kill All Witnesses!
With the Winged Demon, Kyle hunted a few wild beasts to barely fill his stomach. He had only just begun the real purpose of this trip. His "Heart of Black Magic" talent was acquired not long ago. It can effectively increase all kinds of black magic, but Kyle wasn't used to this level of growth. Magic does not mean that the more powerful, the better! What's more important is the ability to control the spell. It takes practice! In terms of improving his own strength, Kyle has never slacked off.
Who would have thought that he had just found a slightly wider open space when the sound of horseshoes echoed, and Kyle was stopped. "Little pony, stop your steps and go back to the castle. The Forbidden Forest is filled with blood tonight. Stay here, and you will be in danger!" It wasn't appropriate to refer to this creature as a human. Its lower body was that of a horse, and the upper body was human—it was the centaur family in the Forbidden Forest.
"Mr. Horseman, may I know what happened?" Upon hearing of danger, Kyle suddenly became interested. Wasn't this just a good way to train his own spells? Just as the centaur in front of him was hesitating, another centaur with a bow and arrow came running over. "Firenze, what are you dawdling about? The dozen or so warriors of the tribe have assembled, and Elena is still waiting for us to rescue him!"
"Ronan, I met a human pony who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest... You know, I'm looking up from the sky, we're going to get help, maybe this is..." "Human? What are you kidding!" Ronan the centaur subconsciously frowned. The centaurs are very opposed to humans. They do not recognize their identity as a sub-race. In the whole of Hogwarts, only Hagrid and Dumbledore earned their approval.
Just turned to look at Kyle. Ronan couldn't help feeling a cordial feeling in his heart, and even his tone became kind. "Listen, kid, it's dangerous here, go back quickly." "Sir, can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help! I brought two very powerful partners, and the Winged Demon!" To prove his own strength, Kyle revealed the Winged Demon in his hand. This is a 5X-level magical animal recognized by the Ministry of Magic. Even in the Forbidden Forest, it is a creature at the top of the food chain.
"Well, the daughter of our tribal chief was captured by the damned acromantula. We organized warriors to sneak into the spider's lair to save her." After discussing with Firenze, Ronan told Kyle what happened. "Live? Rescue?" Kyle's eyes lit up. "You may not believe it, but what I'm best at is lurking. Please let me join you!"
Joke! A pint of Acromantula's venom is worth a hundred Galleons! Who is not interested in money? "Eh..." Ronan hesitated. Just then Firenze spoke. "Ronan, I think we should follow the instructions of fate. The astrology tells me that we will get help tonight!"
"Okay, I can take you with me, but you need to promise me that you must follow us. If the situation is not right, you have to escape as soon as possible, regardless of our life or death." "I see, sir!" Kyle nodded obediently. He was focused on the acromantula, a walking Jin Gallon.
"Okay, ride on me!"
The two centaurs led Kyle to join their companions. These were the best hunters in the centaur tribe. After a brief exchange, Ronan was responsible for guiding Kyle, while the others surrounded them. Being ridden by a human is a disgrace to a centaur, but thanks to Kyle's "fantastic animal affinity" talent, no one thought anything was wrong.
The group crossed a dense forest, walked for more than half an hour, and finally reached the territory of the acromantula. A large number of spider webs began to appear in the woods, with fist-sized spiders crawling past from time to time.
"Okay, we are here. From now on, we need to be extra cautious!" Ronan said as he put Kyle down. "Try to find a way to rescue Elena without disturbing the acromantula," he advised.
"Let me do it. I actually know lurking best!" Kyle quickly replied, taking out his wand and stepping forward. "Is there any magic?" Firenze asked curiously. The centaurs also had their own mysterious powers, but it was mainly divination and was not very useful in combat. This put them at a disadvantage in their encounters with the giant eight-eyed spiders.
"Of course!" Kyle grinned as his expression turned serious. Above his forehead, sky blue vertical pupils appeared, as bright as sapphires. "Fierce flames!" he shouted.
With three Fierce Fire Curses in a row, jet black flames filled the sky. This "flame from hell" had a temperature exceeding ordinary flames. It was autumn, the weather was dry, trees were at their oiliest, and spider webs were flammable. Before the centaurs realized it, the fire had already spread.
Kyle's "Fiendfyre Curse" was not as powerful as the three Unforgivable Curses but was still impressive. With a wave of his wand, the violent flames split, leaving an open space in the middle. "Let's go save someone, gentlemen of the centaur!" Kyle urged.
Firenze couldn't help swallowing. "Kyle, is this what you mean by lurking?" he asked.
"Of course, false lurking involves carefully avoiding the enemy in fear of being discovered," Kyle explained. "Real lurking means going straight in and eliminating all witnesses!"
The centaurs were shocked. Could such a powerful and daring ability really be characteristic of a young wizard? As they gazed at the blazing fire before them, they couldn't help but wonder.
Horseman: "???" This makes so much sense! Wait, something is off!
Is this really the level a little wizard should have? Seeing the blazing fire in front of them, the centaurs were all numb from the shock!
