Chapter -29.
"Protego Diabolica!"
As Lester observed the Dementors charging forward without hesitation, even while under fierce attacks from the raging flames, a chilling smile spread across his face.
He extended his arms, and a massive blue fireball formed before him.
"Go!"
With a glimmer of determination in his eyes, Lester thrust his hands out.
The enormous blue fireball shot toward the Dementors like a missile.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion resonated as the fireball detonated among the throng of hundreds of Dementors.
Dozens of them didn't even have a moment to react before they were reduced to mere wisps of smoke from the extreme heat.
But the chaos didn't end there; after the fireball burst, the flames radiated outward in a stunning circular pattern.
A powerful shockwave followed by terrifying flames swept across the area.
"Woo woo woo!!!!"
The fortunate Dementors that narrowly escaped the initial blast found themselves utterly defenseless against this relentless wave of fire.
Just a single spark was enough to ignite them, rapidly consuming their forms in an instant.
With that one strike, Lester had effectively halved the number of Dementors.
The remaining ones no longer exuded their previous arrogance.
"Woo woo woo!!!"
Their once furious howls transformed into fearful cries, realizing the terror they faced.
In just three fiery attacks, more than half of their ranks had been obliterated.
Confronted by the formidable young man, the Dementors, who once came with a fierce intent to kill, now fell silent in fear.
They glanced at Lester, surrounded by flickering flames like a fire spirit, then at their fallen companions, and began to retreat.
"Woo woo woo!!!!"
Their frightened cries echoed as the once coalesced group of Dementors scattered like a beaten army.
In no time, countless Dementors were seen fleeing in all directions from Lester's elevated position.
While someone else might have let the scattered Dementors slip away, they were facing a little demon named Lester.
Positioned on a small hill, observing the fleeing Dementors below, a cold smile played on his lips.
He then opened his hands slightly and traced a large circle in front of his chest.
Before long, a fierce wall of flames sprang up around Lester, spanning several meters.
The blue flames crackled and billowed thick black smoke that obscured the entire sky.
Many fleeing Dementors, taken off guard by the sudden flames, couldn't halt in time and crashed directly into the wall.
"Woo!!!"
With pitiful cries, those unfortunate ones were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving only wisps of black smoke behind.
Witnessing the fate of their companions, the rest of the group watched in horror and began to retreat, trying to distance themselves from the fiery barrier.
But, while their instincts told them to flee, they were no match for Lester's command over the flames!
As the Dementors attempted to escape the terrifying wall, they were shocked to see it begin to shift!
The fierce flames roared in the air, gradually drawing inward and slowly converging toward the center.
Faced with this encroaching heat, the Dementors rushed toward the center in a panic.
Due to their numbers, many unfortunate ones couldn't keep pace and were pushed backward, meeting the relentless flames!
Meanwhile, the swifter Dementors, upon reaching the center area, found themselves face to face with a smiling Lester.
Dementors: "."
With Lester blocking their escape in front and flames closing in behind, there was nowhere to go!
In that moment, the remaining Dementors experienced a profound existential crisis, questioning how the roles had reversed.
Shouldn't they, the dark and fearsome creatures, be the ones chasing down Lester and his friends?
How had this turned into a battle royale among their own kind, where they were the ones being defeated?
Observing the terrifying young demon before them, the surviving Dementors cautiously swallowed their non-existent saliva and knelt down silently.
Since their essence is formed from souls and they lack legs, their kneeling resembled crawling, leading Lester to briefly think they were about to unleash some powerful move.
Isn't that how it goes in movies? A terrifying monster poses dramatically and unleashes a powerful attack, catching the heroes off guard.
"Planning to unleash a big move on me?!"
Lester looked at the group of crawling Dementors, a chill running down his spine. Luckily, he recognized their trickery; otherwise, he might have fallen right into their trap.
"Protego Diabolica, burn their butts!!!"
Seeing the Dementors preoccupied with their 'big move' and not noticing him, Lester felt a sense of satisfaction. Unlike the foolish villains who wait for others to make a move, he would take the initiative!
In an instant, a blue flame, nearly resembling a dragon, erupted from his hand, striking toward the group of crawling Dementors, claiming dozens of them once more.
Dementors: "."
As more than ten of their own perished in an instant, the remaining Dementors felt a wave of injustice wash over them and wanted to cry but found it difficult.
Hadn't they already surrendered? When Voldemort brought his minions, they hadn't caused any issues after recognizing their submission.
But now, this young demon—how could he attack them even after they surrendered? It felt downright cruel!
Finally, one brave Dementor could no longer bear this unfairness and rose from the crowd of monsters.
As this courageous Dementor stood tall, countless others looked on in admiration.
Then, as the brave one slowly opened its mouth in front of everyone, it said: "We... surrender."
Lester, glancing at the standing Dementor, was about to blast it away, but just as he was preparing to act, he realized the face looked somewhat familiar.
Wasn't this the one that had drained the life from that strong man?
Under Lester's curious gaze, the Dementor finally voiced a complete thought.
"Please don't hit us anymore! We... we surrender!"
