Chapter 419: New Toy

~9 min read 1,722 words

Double in this state was terrifyingly strong, almost the strongest Knight Harry had seen in this period of time. Even Moon Knight or Decade, who had caused them huge trouble before, could not rival him. With a subtle worry, Harry glanced at Luo En, but his expression was very normal.

In less than ten minutes, this sparring was coming to an end. Hermione tried to change different ability sets for Alan, but Fang Joker crushed any fancy mechanisms with powerful numerical values. After a very handsome roundhouse kick, Alan, who was already struggling to support, was completely defeated. He flew out several meters and rolled on the ground to cancel the transformation.

Hermione stared at Double in a daze for a while, then trotted to Alan's side to help him up, whispering something.

Just then, Double, who was still maintaining a cool pose, suddenly stretched out his right hand to support his head, and then shook his head.

"Broken, he isn't really going to lose control, is he?" Harry said with feigned surprise.

"What loss of control?" Draco suddenly asked.

Seeing Luo En say nothing, Harry emphasized the current situation again: "Cui Ge used a risky transformation technique, which may cause him to fall into madness, indiscriminately attacking anyone..."

Double, who was drooping his head, raised his head abruptly, his bright red compound eyes flickered, and he began to walk slowly toward Alan who had already canceled the transformation—if this were the case, Hermione would inevitably be affected.

Just as Luo En's hand began to reach behind him, something that completely disrupted Harry's plan happened.

"Ha, then I'll stop him," Draco took out his belt before anyone else. "Don't lose face for the Snake House."

Luo En was stunned, and Harry's eyes widened. They watched helplessly as Draco rushed in front of Double and took out two bottles.

"Dragon! Jelly! Cross-ZCharge!"

The blue light bloomed in an indescribable way, as if viscous liquid gushed out, presenting a translucent texture like jelly, wrapping the head of the silver base armor. Immediately after, he met Double without hesitation and easily blocked the originally extremely violent Fang Joker.

"What kind of technology is this?" Harry's eyes widened. He had always thought Draco was the weakest Knight present, but this jelly-like form could actually contend with Double using the Dangerous Trigger.

"Could it be that he also used negative emotions?" Harry could only guess irresponsibly at this moment. "This kind of power and speed is clearly far beyond the previous Cross-Z. This is unreasonable!"

"Could it be because of the dragon?" Luo En said calmly. "He has been using a single dragon bottle, which might be a kind of weight training. When needed, he can match it with another energy bottle to immediately exert more powerful strength."

"Is that so?" Harry looked at Luo En suspiciously. He vaguely felt that Luo En's emotions were strange. "But with Draco's personality, it's unlikely he would be so patient. Besides, when he was beaten to the point of begging for help by Moon Knight last time, he didn't use this new bottle."

"Then is it a new power obtained recently? Even Malfoy is making progress," Luo En shook his head with a half-smile.

At this moment, Harry was convinced that Luo En's mentality had undergone a subversive change, but he didn't have time to think more or ask in detail, and the battle situation on the field changed again.

After a clash, both sides retreated several steps, and Double shook his head. He seemed to have woken up a lot, and his left hand began to touch his waist, seemingly intending to cancel the transformation.

But his right hand held down his left hand, and with a very strange posture, he struggled with himself. Or rather, it was the half-Fang body fighting against the other half-Joker body, and obviously, Fang with the Dangerous Trigger was in the upper hand.

"Hey, use this!" Lu Na's ethereal voice sounded suddenly, and then a blue bottle flew toward Double in an arc—almost reflexively, he caught the bottle smoothly, and then successfully replaced Joker very smoothly. As the left side of his body turned blue, Cui Ge got the trigger bottle he was most familiar with and most suitable for, and his self-consciousness became more obvious.

Double's momentum suddenly became calm. Visibly, the thorns on the Fang shoulder armor also began to shrink, turning from ferocious collision horns into decorative protrusions. When he raised his head again, muffled words came from inside the armor: "I'm fine."

Draco, who had been posing, also deflated, and then actively canceled the transformation. His expression was tight, trying hard to cover up his pride.

When Cui Ge pulled out the Dangerous Trigger, the Fang bottle remained on the belt. He was stunned for a moment, then collected these things as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, Draco, I think I have learned it," Cui Ge didn't hide his emotions. "If anyone wants to challenge again, next time you will see what I am truly good at—Fang Trigger."

Harry didn't know if Alan admitted defeat, maybe not, because when he left, he was still discussing something with Hermione in a low voice.

After the "outsiders" left, Harry felt he needed to ask about the situation, but before he could speak, Draco couldn't help but say it himself.

"Yes, you noticed my new power, right? This was actually sent to me by that person. I told him about the difficulty of dealing with OOO, so he gave the Dragon Jelly plan," he explained in a seemingly flat tone, but in fact, anyone could hear he was showing off.

"I can't say this is a very good idea, but indeed, the Fang Joker just now also demonstrated to us that as long as the numerical value is strong enough, there is no need to care about the mechanism," he said with feigned humility. "If Cui Ge hadn't taken out Fang, I was originally prepared to meet him with Jelly Dragon, I think I could have easily defeated OOO—by the way, why was Hermione with him?"

"Hermione wanted a belt of her own, and she made a deal with OOO," Harry said vaguely. He was worried that the Snake House crowd would blame the Lion House for eating inside and out.

"Oh, let her be," Draco pretended to be generous, but actually revealed a trace of contempt.

"But I am a bit curious, how did Jelly Dragon let you exert more powerful strength?" Cui Ge asked. "I think it's very strange, if you could originally use double bottles to transform into such a powerful form, then why didn't you just fight with this form from the beginning?"

"Uh, I also just got the new bottle recently," Draco sounded a bit lacking in confidence. "And this is jelly, it's not jelly..."

This was a bit strange. Harry touched his chin and couldn't help but ask: "So, is it the mysterious person who sent you the belt who sent new bottles after learning that you lost to OOO?"

Draco didn't answer directly, but from his eyes, Harry felt he hadn't guessed wrong. Seeing the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, Pansy came out to smooth things over with great insight, said a few polite words, and pulled Draco away.

"I always feel that the person behind Draco is also quite worth paying attention to..." Harry wanted to say something more, but with the existing information, he couldn't draw further conclusions.

"Speaking of which, Cui Ge," Luo En suddenly said. "Can you lend me that trigger to use?"

"Ah? What?" Cui Ge seemed to have just come back to his senses. "You want it?"

"Yes," Luo En's originally nervous tone gradually became firm. "I think I saw the possibility of progress from it."

"A bit dangerous, to be honest," Lu Na commented objectively.

"If Cui Ge can master that power, then I think I can too," Luo En said.

"Whether this power is good or bad is hard to say, after all, Master Shoichi's story tells us..." Harry subconsciously still wanted to persuade him a few words.

"No, Harry, you don't understand," Luo En interrupted him. In fact, Luo En rarely interrupted Harry before.

"We can't shrink back because of some worries anymore. This era is just so crazy, everyone is trying every means to obtain power, we can't fall behind others," Luo En's tone was calm and his logic was clear. "But you know, there can't be any power that can be easily obtained without paying a price. Compared to those human experiments, the Dangerous Trigger is already very reliable. After all, Cui Ge has already shown us a successful precedent."

"I understand what you are worried about, but I think you lack a sense of urgency: you seem to be still counting on Zhang Qiu, but clearly, she and Xuanjun have had a disagreement, and without Xuanjun, Zhang Qiu is just a seventh-year student, she can no longer control the situation," Luo En criticized Harry bluntly. "And if the known situation is constantly deteriorating, we have to do some risky things. Did you have everything prepared when you went to fight Voldemort back then?"

"Alright, what you said doesn't seem wrong," Harry's tone was a bit unhappy, but he admitted his mistake. "Maybe it was because last year went too smoothly, causing my mentality to be a bit conservative."

Harry realized belatedly that Luo En's depression some time ago might have to be blamed on himself. It was precisely because he knew Zhang Qiu's plan and showed an attitude from time to time that everything was not worth worrying about, which made Luo En always expect to find the next direction from Zhang Qiu, but in fact, they couldn't provide any help at all, which was the culprit for Luo En's low mentality.

Thinking of all the redundant things he had done before, and finally it was Luo En himself who broke through those heavy concerns, Harry felt guilty at this moment.

"I support you, if you don't want to lose anything, you can't get anything," Cui Ge threw the small device over and made a gun-shooting gesture with his fingers. "I feel I don't need the Dangerous Trigger anymore, you take it and study it." ===== CHAPTER 420 =====
