Chapter 166: Encountering an Attack

When John walked straight through this straight road, it was another fork in the road.

This time John finally started using the Point Me Spell.

"Show me the way."

The wand was placed flat in his palm, and as the spell fell, the wand started to rotate slowly like a compass.

Finally, it pointed to his front left.

John followed the direction pointed by the wand, walked to the left, and then alternated forward in the order of left, right, left, right.

After walking for a while, he used the Point Me Spell again; this time the wand pointed straight ahead.

However, in front of him was a hedge wall, so he had to pick a direction at random to continue forward, and try to choose the road that could lead forward.

But as a result, after walking for a while, he returned to the original place, and in front of him was still that lush hedge wall, and even the marks he left were clearly visible.

John blinked strangely, but didn't stop, and walked again without believing in evil.

As a result, he still returned to the original place.

Ghost hitting the wall?

Did I fall into an illusion trap again?

John scratched his head and simply raised his wand.

Although he had learned the Break Illusion Spell, he was too lazy to use such a complex spell.

"Thunderclap Explosion!"

Bang!!

The hedge wall in front of him was blown open, and broken leaves and dust flew everywhere.

Behind the hole was another deep passage.

John drilled through without hesitation, looked left and right, and continued to walk to the left.

Sure enough, he didn't return to the original place again.

After John walked for a while, at a crossroads, just as he was about to use the Point Me Spell to confirm the direction again.

"Ahhh!!"

A shrill female scream broke the silence and came from not far away.

Fleur?

The only female entering the maze was Fleur; could it be that she was in danger?

Then John looked up again, and no red sparks appeared in the sky, and no other movement came.

John frowned.

It couldn't be that she was taken out in one second, without even a chance to call for help...

Although he really wanted to go over and take a look, a strange rustling sound suddenly came from the left passage, as if something was squirming forward in the narrow hedge passage.

John looked at the left passage, and saw a huge Blast-Ended Skrewt emerging from the corner.

No, Hagrid is still providing technical support for the Triwizard Tournament?

John was speechless when he saw that thing.

The Blast-Ended Skrewt also discovered John.

Its tail, covered in spikes, immediately expanded, and a cluster of flames crackled at the end.

Obviously, it had entered a state of charging before the attack.

The next moment, it rushed straight toward John, the flames at its tail exploded, and the scorching heat wave came toward him.

"Armor Protection!"

The flames rushed over, but were steadily blocked by a transparent magic barrier. John quickly retreated two steps, and the wand in his hand was already pointing at the head of the Blast-Ended Skrewt.

"Dizzy Fall!"

The spell hit the head of the Blast-Ended Skrewt, but the next moment it was bounced back by the hard carapace of the Blast-Ended Skrewt, hitting his own Iron Armor Spell.

Eh?

This thing's shell can actually bounce back spells?

Hagrid, you're still hiding things from me!

John hurriedly waved his wand, and a wall of earth rose.

Blocking the charge of the Blast-Ended Skrewt.

With a bang, the earth wall was smashed directly.

The Blast-Ended Skrewt let out an unpleasant hiss, its tail expanded again, and flames sprayed out in a fan shape.

But it was still steadily blocked by John's Iron Armor Spell.

John continued to wave his wand.

Crack!

The ground under the Blast-Ended Skrewt suddenly cracked.

The next moment, a huge earth spike pierced up from the ground, hitting the abdomen of the Blast-Ended Skrewt.

But the abdomen of the Blast-Ended Skrewt was still covered by a thick carapace, and the earth spike only knocked it flying, without causing fatal damage.

The Blast-Ended Skrewt was flipped to the ground and stuck in the hedge passage, unable to move.

Seeing that the Blast-Ended Skrewt had lost its ability to move, John didn't hesitate at all, and his wand quickly pointed at its head.

"All Stone!"

The spell hit accurately, and the Blast-Ended Skrewt stiffened all over, losing movement.

John then put down his wand and breathed a sigh of relief.

He lifted the Iron Armor Spell.

Just as he wanted to continue moving toward the position where the scream came from, a red spell rushed toward John's face.

John's pupils shrank, and he instinctively waved his wand, condensing magic power on the wand, and flicked the spell away.

After the spell was flicked away, it drew an arc in the air and hit the hedge behind him, and the hedge was immediately set ablaze.

Before John could react, another spell came.

"Piercing Heart and Bone!"

The scarlet spell light went straight to his chest, and after John was hit, he staggered back a few steps.

A wail came from the depths of his soul, but John was not hurt by the Cruciatus Curse.

The attacker seemed to think he had succeeded, just maintaining the magic output of the Cruciatus Curse.

John immediately waved his wand.

"Four Parts Five Splits!"

A blue light flashed, and the attacker didn't seem to expect that John could still counterattack after being hit by the Cruciatus Curse.

But the body's subconscious reaction made him roll and dodge quickly, but the blue light still grazed his arm, instantly tearing a wound on his arm.

The attacker groaned, and the wand in his hand waved subconsciously.

Another spell shot out, and John finally set up an Iron Armor Spell.

The spell hit the invisible iron armor barrier directly and tore a crack, but failed to break through the defense.

This scene stunned John; the opponent was definitely not an ordinary wizard, because this kind of magic output was already comparable to the professors.

John didn't daze, taking the opportunity to quickly adjust his position, placing himself behind the cover of the hedge corner.

The attacker also retreated quickly, hiding in the shadows on the other side of the hedge.

Both sides were panting heavily to adjust their state.

Although John was not hurt by the Cruciatus Curse just now, the wail of the soul still made his brain a little trance.

Plus this sudden attack made his nerves tense and his blood surge.

Who attacked him?

First exclude Harry Potter, he wouldn't do such a thing, and then the groan just now was clearly a male voice, also excluding Fleur.

Is it Krum?

Only he was the only possibility left.

The figure of that person in the dark just now was indeed very similar to Krum.

Durmstrang's school style is fierce, and the tolerance for Dark Magic is quite high, it is very reasonable for him to know the Cruciatus Curse.

Solve other opponents in the maze and lift the cup alone.

This is indeed a tactic.

But this move is too sinister, and is Krum's magic power that strong?

No time to think too much.

John chose to take his life while he was sick.

He hurt him just now, and now he should take him down immediately.

Otherwise, he would have to face an enemy hiding in the dark in the maze later.

John jumped out from the cover, waving his wand.

"Thunderclap Explosion!"

An explosion suddenly exploded at the corner where the attacker was hiding.

Mud and broken branches flew everywhere.

A groan came from the dust, and the attacker was lifted by the air wave, finally revealing his true body.

Sure enough, it was Krum.

He was squinting, looking at John with a sinister look.

John frowned; Krum's demeanor at this time was very different from the past.

It became a bit distorted and manic. ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
