They had gradually become the rulers of the Forbidden Forest, with no creatures daring to provoke them.
But today, they had the misfortune of encountering a little troublemaker.
Fiendfyre is not something that can be reasoned with.
It spread rapidly.
In an instant, the screams of the Acromantulas filled the air.
In just two short minutes, five to six hundred of them were dead.
Faced with the overwhelming flames, these 5X-level dangerous creatures had no power to resist.
In stark contrast, Kael leisurely walked in the middle of the flames.
He only needed to control the fire so it wouldn't burn the prey cocooned by the Acromantulas.
If the person they were supposed to rescue ended up being burned, that would be a big problem.
The centaurs behind him wore expressions of shock.
This little wizard was terrifying!
...
"There! I see Irina!" Ronan suddenly pointed to the east after they had walked for a while.
Hearing this, Kael quickly controlled the Fiendfyre to create a path.
Several centaurs rushed over and picked up a cocoon made of spider webs.
They carefully began cutting the webs with knives.
From the appearance, it seemed to be a centaur.
The webs were incredibly tough, and they struggled to cut them open.
Finally, Kael, unable to watch any longer, had his Moon Eevee step forward and use "Quick Attack" to slice through the webs.
"Ronan? Firenze?"
"Were you captured by the Acromantulas too?"
"Where is this? The Underworld?"
Only then did Kael see the daughter of the centaur chief clearly.
She looked about sixteen or seventeen.
Her features were delicate and pure, yet her figure was curvaceous.
Silver hair flowed naturally down to her waist, where her lower body began—a horse, with pure white fur and not a single blemish.
There was an indescribable aura about her.
"Irina, it was Kael who saved you!" Ronan, not daring to take credit, quickly pointed to Kael.
In fact, he hadn't done anything the entire way.
"Thank you, my hero!" Irina's eyes lit up when she saw Kael.
Even by centaur standards, Kael's looks were off the charts.
Irina ran over to Kael and nuzzled his face.
This was a centaur gesture of affection.
It meant, "I am exposing my most vulnerable spot, my neck, to you without any defense."
Then, Irina bent down and gestured for Kael to climb onto her back.
"You're welcome, I was just lending a hand," Kael said as he got on.
He had to admit...
Compared to Ronan, the rough centaur, Irina's back was much softer.
And also much larger...
Oh, I'm talking about the width of her back!
Nothing else!
...
"Alright, this isn't the place for a chat. Kael, the centaur tribe will not forget your help today."
With the rescue completed, the centaurs breathed a sigh of relief.
Firenze's tone was especially solemn.
"Are we going back now?"
Unknowingly, Kael had become the core of the team.
"No, I have something else to do. You can go back first or wait here," Kael replied, shaking his head.
"The centaur tribe does not abandon its friends."
Firenze didn't hesitate to refuse.
"No matter what you do, we will help you!"
...
"Wizard, why do you harm my offspring?"
At that moment, an old and furious voice rang out.
It was Aragog, the ancestor of the Acromantulas!
"I was planning to go deeper into the Acromantula's lair..."
"But it seems that's unnecessary now..."
Kael stopped mid-sentence and quickly instructed Firenze and the other centaurs:
"Never mind, just stay where you are. Firenze, remember, no matter what I say, you must agree!"
Firenze: "???"
While Firenze was still confused...
...
"Pop!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Three figures and a phoenix suddenly appeared before them.
Dumbledore, Snape, and Professor McGonagall!
The latter two held their wands in their right hands, with their left hands resting on Dumbledore's shoulder—they had clearly hitched a ride.
Dumbledore looked cautious as well.
The disturbance in the Forbidden Forest had been too large to escape his notice.
Just moments ago, the three had been discussing matters.
When they saw the deep, fierce flames burning in the Forbidden Forest, they immediately frowned.
It was Fiendfyre!
All three recognized the origin of the flames instantly.
This was magic that only dark wizards would use.
And for it to be on such a massive scale, the caster must have been incredibly powerful!
At least on par with the four heads of houses.
When had the British wizarding world gained a dark wizard of such strength?
...
But the moment they arrived and saw Kael...
Dumbledore felt like his head was about to explode from the pain.
Good grief!
Mystery solved!
Sneaking out to set fires in the middle of the night...
Who else could it be but a little troublemaker!
[Ding! Frustration detected!]
[Ding! Generating treasure chest for the host!]
[Ding! Congratulations, the host has obtained a Diamond Chest!]
