Chapter 96: If You Don't Seek Death, You Won't Die, Why Don't You Know

From Marvel: The Genie

The next day, Hagrid ultimately didn't wake up and was taken away by members of the Giant race. The Giant race also followed their promise and withdrew from this war.

That afternoon, with Nicolas Flamel's help, Johnson completed his advancement, becoming a Sequence 7—Magician, gaining a portion of self-preservation and combat ability.

That afternoon, other wizards who responded to the call to support Hogwarts and participate in this war arrived one after another. The final number was much smaller than what Dumbledore had initially thought, totaling less than 300 people.

In this process, Snape, in conjunction with other Potion Masters, also finished making some common potions to assist in this war.

In short, when night fell, all the preparations the wizards could make had been completed.

An atmosphere of awe permeated the entire Hogwarts, the nearby Forbidden Forest, and the surrounding land. The war was getting closer and closer.

"For wizards! For humanity!"

In the last minute before twelve o'clock, Dumbledore turned to the many wizards behind him and shouted loudly.

"For wizards! For humanity!"

The shouts of 300 people resounded through the entire night sky.

In the direction of the Forbidden Forest, dragon roars and the sounds of various magical creatures sounded together. They also made their response.

*Ding~*

The bell for 12 o'clock midnight rang.

More than half of the 300-person wizard team disappeared instantly. Wizards were never a profession good at frontal assault; they had their own accustomed fighting styles.

Dumbledore soared into the sky, the phoenix Fawkes entwined around him, and the rising fire illuminated half the sky.

Dumbledore had only one goal, and that was Audasxin. As the highest combat power of wizards at present, what he could do and must do was to entangle the opponent's highest combat power.

This was also what Audasxin thought. After all, whether it was Dumbledore or herself, if they ignored everything and killed into the enemy group, there would only be one result, and that was a massacre.

Johnson stood at the forefront of the team and kept the same position as Lupin. Relying on the extraordinary vision gained from promoting to Magician, Johnson could still see the scene around him in the faint night light.

As the team moved forward, Johnson suddenly saw some strange large stones appearing on various forest paths and roadsides, with many bumps on their backs.

Out of caution, Johnson flicked his wrists, and several sharp-edged cards shot out at high speed, hitting the stones and sparking a series of sparks.

Before the wizards could take the next step, those stones suddenly moved, revealing limbs like crabs. Immediately after, balls of fire sprayed violently from the heads of the crabs toward the front, instantly creating paths of flames.

*Flame Jump! *

Johnson snapped his fingers lightly, his figure disappeared on the spot, emerged from the flames spraying from the front, grabbed a wizard who couldn't react in time, and took him away from the flames in front of them.

The kind of magical creature in front of them was named Fire Crab, a peculiar creature with an extremely hard shell and the ability to spray fire.

*Stupefy, Sectumsempra, Wingardium Leviosa, Levicorpus*...

Spells shot out from wands, hitting the Fire Crabs. Some were immunized by the Fire Crabs' shells, and some achieved good results.

Among them, Snape's exclusive spell—*Sectumsempra*—directly tore open the Fire Crab's shell, cutting an adult Fire Crab into two segments.

At this rate, these Fire Crabs couldn't stop the wizards for long, and because Johnson had discovered their positions one step in advance, they couldn't even cause too much damage.

But just then, creatures with human faces, wings on their backs, and scorpion tails suddenly pounced out of the darkness.

The appearance of the Manticore caused great destruction to the entire wizard formation. These high-level hunters in the jungle possessed decent gliding ability and movement speed, and their scorpion tails were full of poison; conventional antidotes could only suppress it and couldn't completely clear it.

Just in one encounter, more than a dozen wizards were hit by scorpion tails and fell to the ground due to the poison. It was temporarily impossible to determine their life or death.

Immediately after, the sound of Thunderbirds rang out in the sky, and bolts of lightning fell from the sky, hitting the positions where all the wizards were gathered, further dispersing the wizards' formation.

To tell the truth, the organized attacks of the magical creatures were obviously more efficient than the wizards casting spells at will in the team.

However, after surviving the first wave of attacks, those wizards who had disappeared one step in advance also began to counterattack, relying on the information their teammates had fought for.

A wizard appeared near the Thunderbird flock through Apparition and drew his wand, directly casting a *Confringo* into the Thunderbird flock.

Under the chain of explosions, several Thunderbirds had their wings broken and feathers burning, falling from the sky.

Just then, a Hippogriff discovered the wizard's appearance, raised its wings, and dived over, the light of *Sharpness Art* shining on its claws.

The wizard who was attacking alone couldn't dodge in time and was torn into pieces directly in the air. Blood fell from the sky and scattered on the mud.

On the ground, Johnson was still performing the duty of a firefighter. His attack power wasn't strong, and it was hard to break through the defenses of most magical creatures.

However, the extreme-speed movement brought by *Flame Jump* allowed him to help his side's wizards escape from the most dangerous scenes in this chaotic environment.

With another *Flame Jump*, Johnson arrived beside a wizard. The lower half of this wizard's face was wrapped in a black scarf.

In front of the wizard were several Acromantulas, and the spider silk they sprayed had already bound the wizard.

After Johnson appeared, he flicked his fingers lightly, first casting an *Air Cannon* to break several spider silks, forcing the Acromantulas back, then placed his right hand beside the wizard, preparing to take him away from this area.

Just then, something Johnson hadn't expected happened. The wizard he saved suddenly launched an attack on him, the tip of the wand lighting up, and the green light was exactly the Unforgivable Curse—*Crucio*.

Almost at the same time, the Acromantulas also gave up their attack on the wizard and locked their attack target on Johnson. A stream of poisonous spider silk pounced toward Johnson's face.

Facing this sudden situation, Johnson didn't hesitate to use his life-saving means: *Paper Doll Substitute*!

A paper doll prepared in advance took all the damage for him after he threw it out, turning into ashes and dissipating in the air.

Immediately after, Johnson left this position again through *Flame Jump* and appeared in another direction.

Johnson, who was now vigilant, discovered that a third force seemed to have appeared in the battlefield. This force was composed of some masked wizards and strange magical creatures. They were cooperating to hunt other magical creatures and wizards.

"Be careful of those masked guys, and those magical creatures with human face marks on their backs!" Johnson amplified his voice and shouted loudly to everyone, including the magical creatures.

It seemed that they knew their behavior had been discovered. Several fireworks shot directly from the ground into the sky and exploded in the sky.

Amidst the *crackle* sound, the Dark Mark appeared in the sky.
