Chapter 133: Fierce Battle! Dueling Club
Hot Recommendation:
Both Rozier and Allen glanced at each other in surprise, yet their spellcasting motions did not pause for a moment.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Both of them released the Petrification Spell simultaneously this time.
Allen's Petrification Spell struck the transparent armor before Rozier once again; this time the transparent armor shattered and vanished immediately. The Petrification Spell paused for an instant, then continued flying forward.
But that single pause was enough. Rozier stepped to the side, easily dodging Allen's Petrification Spell, his movements elegant and effortless.
A huge roar of cheers erupted from the Slytherin crowd.
Rozier's Petrification Spell struck Allen's right arm once more. Allen tried to dodge Rozier's spell, but the weight of the scales on his body still affected his agility.
Yet after being hit by the spell, Allen showed no sign of petrification at all. He continued waving his wand, preparing to cast the next spell.
The young wizards supporting Allen also let out a cheer. Allen had just demonstrated a slightly faster spellcasting speed than Rozier, and spell power far exceeding his peers.
The expressions of both Allen and Rozier became serious.
Their opponent's performance had, to some extent, exceeded their expectations.
Both silently chose to change their tactics.
"Serpensortia!" Allen chose this spell. The tip of his wand exploded, and a black venomous snake, two sizes larger than the one Malfoy had just summoned, slithered out. This snake could already be called a python...
Malfoy's eyes widened in shock. He never expected Allen to know this spell, and for its power to be so much greater than his own.
The black venomous snake hit the ground and immediately began slithering toward Rozier using snake-skin dodging maneuvers.
By the third round, Rozier had clearly identified his advantage. The spell he chose this time was still the Kui Jia Zhou.
【To be honest, I've been reading and chasing updates on Mimi Reading recently. Switch sources, multiple narration voices, available on Android and iPhone.】
The black venomous snake was blocked by the Kui Jia Zhou. Allen quickly gave the black venomous snake an order, commanding it to strike Rozier's transparent armor hard with its tail.
"Reducto!" Rozier quickly cast the spell on the black venomous snake. Yet this massive venomous snake was turned into a wisp of black smoke by this single spell.
Allen's attack was thwarted again. He helplessly watched the venomous snake turned into black smoke. Ordinary animals are simply this fragile before magic.
Looking at the transparent armor opposite him, Allen felt a wave of helplessness in his heart. Rozier's Kui Jia Zhou had obviously undergone extensive practice, or perhaps stemmed from deep family tradition in this area. In any case, the strength of this Kui Jia Zhou was very high, and just slightly stronger than Allen's attack spells.
Rozier also keenly noticed this point. He constantly maintained a Kui Jia Zhou before him, then hid behind it to continuously release spells. This way, he could always cast one more round of spells, while Allen's spells posed no threat to him, placing him in an unbeatable position.
But Rozier also felt quite helpless in his heart. He could not figure out what exactly the scales on Allen's body were. He had already hit Allen with six or seven spells, yet Allen remained completely unharmed.
This scene exceeded everyone's expectations.
Both seemed unable to overcome the other.
One had extremely high defense but insufficient attack, unable to break through the opponent's defense in one blow.
One had very high attack, but encountered even higher defense.
The scene looked exciting with exchanges back and forth, but everyone knew the duel had fallen into a stalemate.
Although both sides were casting spells diligently and displaying their exceptional sides, neither could settle the opponent with a single decisive blow.
Although the two were only three years apart in age, Allen had been learning magic for just over a year, while Rozier had been learning magic for more than four years and came from a pure-blood family, likely having been exposed to magic since childhood.
Allen tried hard to break the deadlock, but the spells he had mastered were far fewer than Rozier's, leaving him with no way to find a solution.
For a moment, Allen even considered using Fiendfyre and the Cruciatus Curse, but he still possessed enough reason.
"Diffindo!"
Allen was hit by another spell, but this time the spell first acted on Allen's clothes. Except for the clothing around his waist, which remained intact, the clothes on other parts were torn into fragments by the power of magic...
It was seen that Allen's entire body was wrapped in fiery red scales, emitting brilliant light under the lamps. Magic radiance flowed across the scales, which looked very solid, and no traces remained on these scales...
The young wizards at the scene all exclaimed. Today they had only seen Allen's head and hands covered in red scales; they had truly never seen what Allen's body looked like.
Everyone gazed at Allen in a daze. The fiery red scale armor gave him a different temperament, and the flash of Colin's camera went off continuously.
Professor Snape looked thoughtfully at the large patches of scales on Allen. Each of the scales on Allen's body was palm-sized, much larger than the scales on his hands and head...
Even Rozier felt a bit desperate. He had already hit Allen more than twenty times, yet left no trace on Allen's scales. But the pride of being a pure-blood wizard kept him persisting.
The situation continued in this stalemate.
At this moment, Luohate Sect came out again to assert his presence.
"Allen, go around him! His Kui Jia Zhou can only defend the front!" Rozier shouted loudly.
Allen didn't even look at Luohate Sect; his heart was full of helplessness.
He had seen this obvious fact long ago, but he currently had no way to go around, and Rozier was not stupid; on the contrary, he appeared very calm and composed. Rozier would certainly guard against this move.
So Luohate Sect spoke another piece of nonsense.
But Allen did not expect this nonsense to give Professor Snape a pretext.
"Given that our Professor Luohate Sect has provided off-field guidance to Finis," Professor Snape suddenly said in a sinister tone. Professor Luohate Sect beside him, thinking Professor Snape was praising him, revealed his signature smile. "Therefore, to ensure the fairness of this duel, I myself must also provide off-field guidance to Rozier."
A chorus of hisses immediately rose from the crowd. Everyone understood that Snape was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Rozier looked at Professor Snape with hope.
"The magical defense of Finis's scale armor is very powerful!" Professor Snape specifically emphasized the words "magical defense." "So try to use some spells that can cause physical damage."
Rozier's expression was momentarily blank. Allen quickly accelerated his spellcasting speed, trying to interrupt Rozier's thinking.
But Rozier was already familiar with Allen's attacks, so these attacks did not cause Rozier much trouble.
Rozier's eyes lit up. He looked at Allen with a cold sneer.
A bad premonition rose in Allen's heart.
"Flipendo!" Rozier cast a new spell.
Allen suddenly felt a transparent wall appear before him, and this wall slammed hard into his body, knocking him flying away at once...
Allen felt as if all the bones in his body were about to scatter. He tasted blood in his mouth; he knew this time he was seriously injured.
He also finally understood why Snape wanted Rozier to use spells capable of causing physical damage.
The dragon scales all over his body still flowed with magic radiance. The previous slam had caused no damage to the dragon scales.
The physical defense of the dragon scales was also very strong, but this level of physical attack was deadly to Allen, because fire dragons face such physical attacks by absorbing the impact with solid muscles and massive bodies, and Allen possessed neither of these two.
The dragon scales had actually absorbed some of the impact, but the greater portion was taken by Allen's small frame and even his internal organs.
Just as ancient warfare used blunt weapons to counter heavy armor, Rozier employed a similar principle.
"Obstacles upon obstacles!"
Allen was sent flying once more...
