"Oh, for fuck's sake," Jake sighed. All the time he had saved by not fighting the pirate captain was now wasted on these fools. Moreover, with their short legs, they were painfully slow—even slower than the skeletons.
It was honestly quite sad. Finally, the leading goblin reached Jake, taking a swing at his waist with its silver-looking blade. Jake simply took a step back, watching as the blade missed completely. These short goblins didn't have much reach either...
The two goblins with spears charged at Jake from his flanks. One aimed for his chest, but as it drew close, he swiftly conjured an ice shield that deflected the blow.
The other spear came at him from the opposite side, and Jake deflected it with another ice shield. He shook his head in disbelief. It was like fighting children, albeit children clad in armor.
There was a reason why goblins always lost in their rebellions. Compared to other sentient races, they were among the weakest, with their only claim to fame being their skill in crafting Goblin silver.
"Stupefy!" Still not taking them seriously, Jake cast one of his few non-lethal spells. Surprisingly, the spell splashed harmlessly against the goblin's armor, doing nothing at all. "Huh, that's weird," Jake muttered to himself.
"Stupid human! Our strong Goblin Steel can resist all your pathetic magic. How do you plan on defeating us when you can't even hurt us?" The goblin whom Jake had targeted with the spell exclaimed with vicious glee.
At this point, all five goblins had surrounded Jake from all sides, attempting to box him in. In their minds, they believed he couldn't conjure shields in all directions simultaneously to stop them. They were wrong, but they didn't know that.
"AND VICTOR KRUM HAS ENGAGED IN COMBAT WITH THE SKELETON CAPTAIN, TRADING MAGICAL BLOWS FOR SMALL NICKS FROM ITS SWORD. OH, THAT'S GOT TO HURT, AND HARRY POTTER IS NOT FAR BEHIND!" The announcer's voice cut in.
"Damn it, you little annoying assholes are making me lose my lead!" Jake barked angrily at the goblins.
"I talked mad shit this time, right before this challenge started, and I'm not going to look like an asshole again- BY NOT TAKING FIRST PLACE! Let's see if your Goblin Silver or whatever can withstand this!"
With those words, Jake unleashed his full power, his spell circles vibrating intensely in his hands. His devil wings sprouted from his back, and his aura crackled with formidable energy.
Behind their steel helmets, the goblins began trembling in fear, sensing the absolute power he exuded. This was the most terrifying being they had ever faced, and some of them had experienced the reign of Voldemort himself in the wizarding world!
"Frozen Hell!" Jake shouted, invoking the name of his recently created spell. It was inspired by Sarah, who had once frozen an entire forest around him.
Jake had been working hard to replicate that feat, and now, his efforts paid off. A massive wave of frost erupted from every pore of his body, instantly freezing everything on the entire ship, including the goblins, solid.
"OUR MAGICAL SENSORS INDICATE THAT JAKE HAS DEFEATED THE SKELETON CAPTAIN, AND OH WOW HIS ENTIRE SHIP HAS BEEN FROZEN SOLID!
I'VE HEARD OF FIENDFYRE, BUT DID HE JUST CAST FIENDICE OR SOMETHING!?" The announcer spoke on to the roaring cheers of the audience who once again bet on Jake.
Giving one last glance at the frozen goblins, Jake leaped over the ship's edge, his devil wings spreading wide as he plummeted toward the ground. He cast another illusion to conceal his wings from general view.
"AND JAKE IS OFF HIS SHIP AND HEADING BACK TOWARD THE GROUND. OH NO, WHERE IS HIS BROOM? IS HE FALLING?" The announcer's voice expressed concern, triggering gasps and cheers from the spectators who believed he was hurtling to his death without a means to slow his descent.
Accelerating toward the ground, Jake decided to put on a show. He increased his speed, causing even more people to gasp in shock as the ground approached rapidly.
When he was just 50 feet from the ground, he screamed, "Arresto Momentum!" Although he didn't actually cast the spell because he didn't need to, he slowed himself down with his invisible wings, making it appear as if he had executed a daring landing!
"AND IN FIRST PLACE IS JAKE GREMORY, WHO HAS BEEN AWARDED THE FULL 50 POINTS FOR THIS CHALLENGE. HE SECURED HIS MAP, DEFEATED THE SKELETON CAPTAIN, AND PULLED OFF THAT INCREDIBLY DARING LANDING WITHOUT A BROOM.
HAD HE MISTIMED HIS ARRESTO MOMENTUM SPELL, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER! GIVE HIM A CHEER, FOLKS!" The crowd erupted in screams and cheers, celebrating Jake's performance.
"I love this kid! He's made us all rich for the second time!" An older woman screamed.
"Hell yeah! Jake Gremory, you're the best! I'll never bet on anyone else!"
"Wooooooooooh!"
Jake flashed everyone a dashing smile, followed by a victorious bow. He spotted Luna and Hermione on the sidelines of the crowd and headed toward them.
"Hey, you two!" Jake raised his voice to be heard over the cheering. "I really swept that one, didn't I?" He said with a cocky grin.
Luna gave him a dreamy smile. "Of course you did, silly. Your wrackspurts have been gone for a while now, and there's no way this small tournament will hold you back anymore." She ran up to Jake and gave him a big hug!
"I have no idea what any of that means," Hermione interjected, "but that was incredibly reckless, Jake. Diving off the side of the ship and plummeting almost a mile without a broom? You could have died!" She expressed concern.
"No, I wouldn't have," Jake smirked. "After all, I've got wings." His remark left Hermione facepalming in realization, understanding why he had wanted to learn illusion magic from her. 'He wanted to hide his wings!' She looked slightly embarrassed.
"I get that I'm awesome and all, but I have a feeling all this cheering has more to it than just that," Jake said, glancing between the two of them.
