Chapter 213: Chapter 210 - On the Night of the Storm (3)

Rose looked to the side as her blue eyes seemed to glow in the darkness of the stormy night, the lightning that bathed the sea made her feel nothing but very noisy. Apart from that, she was really enjoying riding a dragon in such a violent storm, it was like being on a rollercoaster, only much more dangerous and exciting.

"If I were a portal in the sea, where would I be?" Rose muttered to herself as she looked around with a thoughtful expression.

*Sound of Thunder. *

With the deafening sound making her whole body shake, Rose felt her vision blurred by the intense glare as she smelled ozone in the air along with a ferrous taste in her mouth. A bolt of lightning had passed dangerously close to her. If she had been five meters to the left, the lightning would have struck her full on without any mercy.

She would have been fine, Limitless would have protected her automatically, but Oberon would have been in serious trouble, dragons were not lightning-proof, which easily had millions of volts, a voltage capable of killing anything in the flesh.

"Put aside the search for the portal and focus on finding an island, then find Asterion and Luna." Rose muttered to herself again as she brushed away the hair stuck to her face, obstructing her vision which was already badly affected by the storm and the darkness of the night.

Although she said it, Rose discovered that it was easier said than done, how in Merlin's name could she find an island in the middle of a storm at night and risk her dragon being killed at any moment by a bolt of lightning.

In short, she was fucked, and she didn't mean it in a good way, at least that's how Daphne put it.

Suddenly, Rose's eyes caught the red lightning tearing through the dark night, which contrasted sharply against the dark surroundings. From the red beam, she noticed the magical aura that belonged to Asterion, her fiancé.

"A very visible sign, fortunately it's only us in the second part of the race." Rose commented as she controlled Oberon, heading towards Asterion's magical aura. She could imagine the skies full of dragons, all fighting among themselves as they tried to kill each other while in the middle of a storm. It would be real pandemonium, they needed to find the second portal quickly and get to the third and final part of the race before chaos broke out in the sea below them.

After a short trip on the dragon, Rose spotted two figures flying low, dangerously close to the huge waves, which would easily sink a medium-sized boat without too much difficulty.

She quickly identified Ancalagon and Luna's dragon, the former flying ahead while the smaller dragon followed behind taking advantage of the vacuum provided by the larger dragon. It was a good strategy to conserve the dragon's energy.

Rose commanded Oberon to descend and stood next to Ancalagon, essentially creating a formation that resembled a triangle.

Asterion wasn't surprised by Rose's arrival; when she entered his detection field, he had already sensed the girl before.

He quickly made a few signals to Rose, who responded just as quickly with her hands.

"No island nearby." Asterion muttered Rose's reply. This gave him a headache, it was as if the second part of the race had no safe harbor, just like the desert Oases, which increased the difficulty a lot, especially with Luna's dragon getting more and more tired with the continuous flight without breaks.

Rose had also deciphered Asterion's hand signals and was equally helpless, because of him, she already knew the situation Luna was in. Potions don't work on dragons, even if she gave some to Luna's dragon it would at most be like drinking water for the dragon. The rate of blood pumping and the colossal amount of blood in dragons was simply too different from humans.

 

While humans only needed one vial of potion to have an effect, to have a similar effect on a dragon it would have to be a vial the size of five meters high! Such a quantity of potions could easily provide stamina potions for a month or two in any store in Diagon Alley.

Asterion and Rose looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, then a thought crossed their minds at the same time.

If there is no safe haven, what's stopping them from making one?

Asterion quickly did what he needed to do, summoned Sadalmelik-Albus again and made her control the seawater, creating a huge platform a hundred meters long. In the next second, a blue beam emerged from the tip of Rose's wand and the entire water platform was frozen in an instant.

All the ice seemed especially resistant, something Rose did on purpose, she also began to Transfigure the entire platform, making it even stronger and more resistant, as well as malleable. Under Sadalmelik's control, she lowered the Ice Platform into the stormy sea, splashing water everywhere.

Luna, knowing what this was all about, quickly made her dragon land on the Ice Platform while she used what little magic remained inside her to create walls on all four sides of the platform, playing her part in saving Asterion and Rose's magical energy.

The poor dragon fell heavily onto the ice platform and didn't move, completely exhausted from all the flying so far. No one could blame him, he had already done something that many dragons couldn't, stand in front of a water spout and remain firm.

Luna, despite the weakness in her limbs from magical exhaustion, leaned on her own dragon and breathed heavily as Rose poured a whole bottle of a stamina potion and a magical energy recovery potion.

Luna's face contorted at the extremely bitter taste of both potions, she looked at Rose with a childish expression and asked hopefully, "Do you have any strawberry flavored ones?"

Rose smiled and replied with an evil expression. "They all taste worse than you can imagine."

Luna's face turned grim at such bad news. Suddenly, the pale blonde-haired girl found herself sliding down another edge of the ice shelf, including her dragon.

Just as she thought she would hit the ice walls she had conjured up, the platform suddenly tilted the other way, causing Luna and the Dragon to slide to the other side of the ice platform.

Luna's face turned pale and her stomach churned with a strong feeling of nausea. She put her hand to her mouth and swallowed the stomach fluid that threatened to come out of her mouth.

After the sensation passed, Luna lay down on the ice platform without bothering to slide from side to side.

"I hate Dumbledore." Luna commented aloud without hiding her resentment towards the Hogwarts principal. If there was a favorable rating above her head, Dumbledore would have -100 with Luna.

Finally, Luna's dragon regained some strength and dug its Claws into the platform, holding itself in place, something Luna thanked Merlin for and leaned on the Dragon.

Ancalagon and Oberon were fixed in place with the same method used while Asterion and Rose got back on their respective dragons as the whole ice platform swayed from side to side.

"What are we going to do? Luna is recovering while it will take a while for her dragon to fly again." Rose spoke, her voice tinged with subtle concern. The longer they lingered in this place, the more the other participants might arrive for the second part of the race and when that happened, it would be a dragon war in the middle of a storm. Something she wanted to avoid if possible.

Asterion knew this, but there was nothing he could do until Luna and her dragon had fully recovered; until that happened, they couldn't go to the second portal.

"We'll wait a while, but our priority is to find the second portal." Asterion put aside these worries and focused on finding the portal, something they had to find as soon as possible.

Rose frowned and replied in a confused voice: "I tried to locate the portal, but there was nothing, not even a piece of rock in the sea. We don't have a clue as obvious as the oases in the desert."

Obvious?

Asterion muttered that word, thinking it was the key to finding the second portal. As Rose had said, the direction of the first portal was obvious, just head north with the help of the Ursa Minor Constellation.

In theory, the second part of the race should be similar, but there were no stars above them because of the storm and no islands apparently created as well as the artificial oases.

"Obvious... obvious... obvious..." Asterion muttered as he looked at the storm clouds above him and the Water Spout receding into the horizon.

Wait a minute!

"The Water Spout!" Asterion exclaimed as he looked towards the giant tube of water connecting sky and sea with the primordial fury of nature.

Hearing Asterion's shout, Rose wasn't slow to understand her future husband's thoughts, yet she couldn't help cursing loudly. "Fuck, Dumbledore wouldn't be crazy to put the second portal in the Water Spout!"

The more she thought about it, the more she was sure that the second portal was inside the Water Spout!

Luna's face was even more bitter, the second portal was more like a sorting line to separate the strong from the weak for the finish line. Unfortunately, she was on the side of the weak!

Chapter 214: Chapter 211 - On the Night of the Storm (4)

Thirty minutes later, Luna and her dragon had regained some strength after a short rest, although not much, it was enough to start making their way towards the Water Spout further and further away on the horizon.

"Do we really have to go inside that?" Luna asked once again, looking at the Water Spout connecting the sea and the sky. As almost the first victim of that aquatic wind monstrosity, she knew its power all too well. If it hadn't been for Asterion's arrival, she would probably be inside the Water Spout.

"It's almost certain that the second portal is inside the Water Spout." Asterion replied as the raindrops hit his face, his expression indifferent to the fact that the cold seemed to be getting stronger.

Rose, standing next to him, nodded. "Dumbledore likes to make people challenge their fears and face challenges that can lead them to grow in character and maturity."

Luna wanted to complain hearing Rose's words, who in their right mind isn't afraid of nature's fury? Although she could see that the test involved overcoming fears in the face of adversity, she still wanted to kick Dumbledore's old ass.

Suddenly, Asterion and Rose looked in a certain direction at the same time. Rose showed a helpless expression while Asterion showed an indifference with a touch of coldness in her gaze.

"They've arrived." Asterion spoke, in his senses, three completely different magical auras appeared in different places within a radius of ten kilometers. He recognized two of the three magical auras, one belonging to the captain of the Russian team, Alexei Ivanov, and the other to the young redhead named Anastasia who had fought against him.

This meant that all three magical auras belonged to the Russian team.

"I still don't know how the Russian team managed to hatch three dragon eggs, Russia is one of the most backward countries in terms of breeding and protecting magical creatures." Rose commented, her voice full of suspicion, sensing Alexei's aura.

For you to understand how bad the Russian Magizoologists' skills were, there were no more than ten Russian Magizoologists at the moment. So Rose's suspicion of the Russian team was more than believable, it was almost certain that the Russian team had somehow cheated in front of everyone and hadn't even bothered to hide it in the first place.

"It doesn't matter if they cheat or not." Luna answered from the side with a rather evil expression, which contrasted sharply with her delicate face. She needed to vent the anger she was feeling right now and the Russian team had arrived at just the right moment.

Rose also showed an excited expression, apparently happy to finally be fighting.

"Let's wait a few minutes and attack, their dragons will probably be exhausted from flying for so long in the storm. If they're foolish enough to approach the Water Spout it's even better, it'll save us time." Rose cracked her tense neck and spoke, her voice extremely animated, her plan was simple, attack when everyone is tired.

Asterion agreed with Rose and Luna's plan, they had the advantage of almost an hour, they knew the strength of the storm, the Hogwarts team just needed to wait a while and ambush their enemies at their weakest moment.

Turning to look at his teammate, Asterion looked at her and spoke with an unquestioning tone. "Luna, during the fight don't take any risks, your dragon hasn't fully recovered yet, we don't need you falling into the sea in case the dragon dies in a counterattack by the Russians."

"I'm not a child, your grace." Luna replied without showing any weakness in the face of Asterion's blatant protection. She wasn't a glass sculpture that would shatter with a simple touch from someone.

Although she really wasn't as strong as Asterion or Rose, or even the captains of the other teams who possessed Grade 1 strength, she still had the power to fight anyone without any fear.

If she was willing to pay the price, even Grade 1 Wizards and Witches couldn't dream of touching her clothes, although the price for that was being tormented by whispers and voices in her mind for a few months.

Asterion couldn't help but look at Luna with an expression of surprise on his face; it was the first time Luna had responded to him so forcefully. Rolling his eyes at the girl's clear dissatisfaction, he spoke in a calm tone, "I'm not calling you weak, Luna, just be careful. Me, Rose or Cedric don't want you to get hurt."

Luna pouted and looked away, but nodded, and if she looked closely, she could see that her lips had curved into a beautiful smile.

Seeing this, Rose gave her a mischievous look and spoke in a deliberately loud tone. "How lovely, it's like father and daughter~ Are you sure you don't want to adopt Luna, Asty?"

Luna and Asterion looked at Rose at the same time, if their eyes could judge anyone, Rose would be behind bars for such a bad joke.

"Let's go, I'll get old if I hear one more unfunny joke from Rose." Luna commented as she made herself comfortable in the saddle. Rose snorted loudly, expressing her dissatisfaction with her words, she had an excellent sense of humor, but how could mere mortals appreciate her jokes?

Asterion rolled his eyes at his fiancée and settled at the base of Ancalagon's neck, as his saddle had been destroyed by the Worm in the Desert City, he had to make do with being relatively comfortable.

The three of them remained silent, all waiting for the right moment to attack the Russian team unawares.

"Asty, it's very likely that others will arrive in a few moments, so let's take out all the members of the Russian team and quickly run towards Water Spout, otherwise we'll be the focus of everyone when other teams arrive." Rose whispered, watching her fiancé's completely wet face, she wanted to reach up and remove the lock of dark hair stuck to his face, but she refrained, concentrating on the moment.

Asterion nodded, his eyes shining with a touch of coldness, they had to be quick and deadly, without giving the Russian team room to react or even counterattack. "Quick and deadly." He said to the two girls, who nodded in agreement with his words.

 

Ancalagon was the first to take off, followed by Oberon and Luna's nameless dragon, all three members of the Hogwarts team set off on the hunt.

...

Alexei, mounted on a beautiful seven-meter-long Antipodean Opaleye, narrowed his eyes trying to locate any sign that might indicate the direction of the second portal, but in the face of the darkness of the night and the storm, his eyes weren't much help.

He tried to sense anything with his senses, but it was useless too, he wasn't a Special Grade Wizard capable of detecting even the slightest pulse of magic in the air.

To make matters worse, the prolonged flight was tiring his dragon out faster than expected, he estimated that the dragon would run out of steam in twenty minutes. Being one of the weaker dragons, the Opaleye wasn't exactly known for its physical strength or strong breath, it was beautiful and one of the weaker dragon breeds.

Another thing that was bothering Alexei was that unlike the first phase of the desert, the second part of the sea seemed even crueler, with no safe haven to rest or even a place to land. In other words, the entire second part of the race was a race against time, failure meant falling into the sea full of gigantic and potentially deadly waves.

Suddenly, a chill ran through Alexei's body, the intense cold of the storm seemed insignificant in the face of the coldness he was feeling at the moment. It was like standing in front of a superior predator without being paralyzed and unable to do anything but watch as it devoured you.

Alexei knew the feeling, it was the feeling from when he faced Asterion Black. Even within his Domain Expansion, he was helpless in front of the boy infinitely younger than him. He was beaten from head to toe while his Domain Expansion was only able to do some damage to the enemy's armor.

The black-haired, red-eyed boy broke his pride and crushed him like he was nothing. Even though Asterion couldn't use his full power, limited to the strength of a mere Grade 2 Wizard, he still crushed him like he was nothing.

However, Alexei's monologue was interrupted by the sound of flapping wings and before he could react, a huge mouth emerged from the darkness as the beast's teeth dug into his dragon's neck.

 The Antipodean Opaleye flailed in the air as it spun upside down, but unfortunately for the beautiful dragon, Ancalagon didn't let go of its neck as he drove his teeth even deeper into the dragon's flesh and scales.

Still shocked by the repeated events, Alexei woke up to hear his dragon crying and before he could do anything, the sound of bones breaking rang out in the rainy atmosphere. An even louder cry rang out as the dragon fought for its life.

Alexei found himself plummeting from the sky as he looked up, noticing the red eyes staring coldly down at him.

Drawing his wand, Alexei was ready to cast a spell, but was interrupted with a powerful kick to his face, which made his head reel as he lost consciousness for a moment.

Ancalagon had no mercy for the Antipodean Opaleye, as he ripped the beautiful creature's head off without showing a shred of compassion.

Hearing the strong wind, the water crashing into his face and the deafening sound of thunder, Alexei woke up while they were still plummeting from the sky like a shooting star towards the stormy sea. With the help of his instincts, he quickly removed the belt holding him to the saddle and separated from the dragon.

As it fell from the sky, he saw the beautiful Antipodean Opaleye lifeless, the creature headless and falling with it. Alexei felt sorry for the dragon's death, but using his wand, he applied a floating spell, falling gently into the stormy water.

Floating in the sea, Alexei looked up and saw only the huge shadow in the air before disappearing into the darkness of the night.

"Asterion Black…"
