Under the night, the Obscurus in Aurelius' body was being swallowed.
Sean no longer cared about the wizard trying to attack him and moved the ring closer. The huge body of the Basilisk twisted into a weird shape inside the ring. It got into the hut and stuck its huge eyes to the exit of the ring according to Sean's instructions.
However, the eye of the Basilisk did not work. The Mouth was still devoting part of its strength to attack Sean frantically, and it didn't stop for a moment when it devoured Aurelius.
Sean frowned. In other words, this thing is essentially alive, but the Basilisk's gaze cannot kill a living thing without eyes.
If the Mouth were an inanimate object, the Basilisk would only need to strengthen its resolve to kill its target, as inanimate objects are also affected.
Sean turned around and wanted to move Aurelius to a farther place, but the Mouth and the Obscurus in his body seemed to be firmly connected. Sean had just moved. Aurelius moved him a little, and he trembled in pain.
Sean didn't hesitate any longer. He took out his wand and attacked with a powerful spell.
The part of the Mouth became active the moment it felt the spell, and the part that attacked Sean quickly retreated, blocking the spell.
Sean didn't dare to observe from too close, he quickly cast a few spells again, and those spells were still blocked. The only difference is that the power feels very familiar; it is like an Obscurus power. After resisting the spell, the black vortex in the Mouth became smaller.
Theoretically speaking, if Sean keeps attacking with a powerful spell, the Mouth that is in the process of devouring Aurelius can be stopped. But the Obscurus in Aurelius' body would be completely swallowed up.
Sean is still determining whether the speed at which he weakens the Mouth is faster than at which it devours the Obscurus. If the Mouth's devouring process is completed, there will be a big problem.
Sean didn't panic. He changed his approach. The scattered stones around him turned into a sharp spear under his Transfiguration. The tip of the spear pierced straight into the center of the Mouth. The Mouth was defenseless this time, but the lance spear that could easily pierce a wizard did no harm to it.
Its body seems to be just a source of magic power. The spear seems to have been destroyed.
Sean's brows frowned even tighter. The magic attacks would be blocked, and the physical attack was not enough. He can't use Transfiguration to create an attack method with terrifying attack power, and the Basilisk is useless.
Sean thought about it and took out a handful of things from his magic wallet that hadn't been used for a long time.
Continuous gunshots rang out. Although he hadn't used it since his strength became stronger, Sean still held the miniature pistol and emptied the magazine directly.
The bullet fired at extremely high speed seemed to be trapped by an invisible force, and an invisible force came from the center of the Mouth. The projectile's speed dropped rapidly, and it finally fell to the ground.
The Mouth trembled violently, the black wizard lodged by it had completely lost its life, and the body was shaken to the ground. At the same time, the Mouth floated into the air, and the dark power rushed towards Sean even more.
Sean's eyes lit up.
He let the necklace continue to defend him and quickly changed the magazine.
The gunshots rang out again, and the Mouth seemed only to have a sense of defense against things with magic power. It lost its sensitivity when facing bullets.
Although the dark power danced wildly, most of Sean's bullets still hit the Mouth.
It trembled more and more violently, and at the same time, it became crazier by devouring the Obscurus force within Aurelius' body. The gun is good, but not good enough. Sean whistled, and Pudding leaped from the shadow to his side.
Its front legs and the legs on its abdomen were already covered with red liquid, and there was even a severed arm torn off from some unlucky guy in his Mouth. Wizards who try to sneak up on Pudding have no idea they're dealing with one of the most dangerous magical animals in the world.
"Put that thing down." Sean rubbed Pudding's head and ordered softly.
"In that corner of the hut, there's a box there. Yes, the last time, the airwing bird almost opened it, and I scolded it. Yes, there's something like a ball in it, be careful to take it out one by one, press and hold the top, and then pull off the tab and… Forget it, just bring me it and I will show you."
After a while, Pudding grabbed several oval green spheres on each of its four front paws and walked up. Sean held several grenades in his hand.
Yes, this is the grenade he got before he came to school.
The effect of the miniature pistol is far from the real one. Sean thinks over and over again and decides to get some more powerful weapons. The grenade is a good choice. There is no need to worry that this thing cannot be used in a wizarding world where electronic devices would fail.
It is easy for a wealthy private hospital owner to get some.
Mr. Wallup even contacted overseas arms dealers, but Sean declined a bazooka after careful consideration. When Pudding sneaked into the shadows, Sean shouted to Stephanie, who was closest to him.
"Give that one a spell to attack the defense!"
Stephanie nodded quickly, without questioning any of Sean's words, and a curse was cast. The Mouth immediately sensed the magic threat, and the black particles trembled for a while, automatically forming a defense.
Sean aimed at the black vortex in the Mouth's center and immediately threw the grenade that had already pulled out the pin and whistled.
Pudding's power is much greater than Sean's, and the grenades fly out.
The Mouth was slow to respond to attacks without magic power, and Stephanie's spell also attracted it. The five grenades hit the black vortex without any problem.
A loud explosion of the night resounded through the entire night sky, and even the students in the Hogwarts castle were startled.
Sean took half a step back the moment he threw the grenade. At the same time, he used the Transfiguration and the Levitation Charm to use the stone slab to create a wall. In front of him and Aurelius, who was half kneeling on the ground, a Protego Charm was also erected.
Flames, explosions, and flying shrapnel, Sean finally heard the scream of the Mouth. The sound of shrieking faintly covered the explosion.
The line connecting the Obscurus and the Mouth in Aurelius' body was finally severed. The voice in Aurelius's throat finally stopped, and he completely fell to his knees.
"It's effective... In the future, I can consider getting more throwing objects to Pudding. He throws more quickly and accurately, which is better than my aim." Sean sighed.
He cast a healing spell on Aurelius and walked briskly to the center of the explosion. The heat wave was scorching here, the power of the explosion seemed to be swallowed up by Silence, and the rest of the splashed shrapnel also hit the stone slab that Sean erected.
Sean didn't take a closer look at what the center of the explosion looked like. Taking advantage of the slab cover, he raised his wand.
"Avada Kedavra."
"Avada Kedavra."
"Avada Kedavra."
The spell was cast three times. The green light once again caused an explosion, and the smoke and dust rose.
Sean finally saw clearly what was going on inside. The Mouth fell to the ground like a piece of torn paper. It was tattered, it had been blown apart, and the vortex inside had stopped turning.
However, Sean still did not approach it. He picked up the pistol with the newly replaced magazine and quickly emptied it.
Sean took out another hand crossbow and loaded an arrow bolt covered with a liquid substance. The Basilisk contributed quite a bit of venom to the bolt.
The crossbow shot out, hitting it without any deviation. The Mouth twisted wildly again, and black mist started to appear.
Then, it completely disappeared from this world.
Sean tried to feel the Obscurus in his body, and sure enough, the fluctuations disappeared.
"Finally…" Sean was finally relieved.
This time, he discovered it early. If he lingered in the castle longer after the Mouth completely swallowed the Obscurus in Aurelius' body, it could potentially lead to a huge disaster.
"Sean..." A heavy and tired voice from behind.
Sean turned his head and smiled at Aurelius, "Are you okay? Do you want to drink something? I have tonics, healing potions, and so on."
Aurelius smiled and shook his head, "There's nothing serious about my body. The Obscurus magic power has been exhausted too much, and the pain was too intense when it was stripped. Resting for a while should be fine for me. Thank you, Sean."
"I suggest you go to Madam Pomfrey, Auri."
"I will. But there are more enemies."
Sean waved his hand, "Let us clean up the rest."
The Acupunctinternus pierced the enemy, and Sean shouted, "Mr. Aberforth, Auri is fine. Please take care of him."
On the other side, Professor McGonagall had just buried two wizards with a stone slab.
"Good job, Mr. Wallup. Let's go back. The castle's support will be here soon. Where are you going?"
Before Professor McGonagall could finish speaking, Sean's figure disappeared in the air.
"When I came, I saw Ambrosius Flume and his wife were fighting. I like their candy very much, so I want to help them."
The big threat has been resolved, and Sean is going to see if he can catch someone alive for interrogation. Of course, his interrogation method is not suitable for everyone.
"Hey! Pay attention to safety! Come back!" Professor McGonagall yelled and finally shook her head helplessly.
Judging from Sean's strength, it is not difficult for him to deal with several wizards. Not to mention, his magical animals are terrifying killers. But she is really worried about her students acting alone.
"Avada Kedavra!" There are new enemies coming.
Professor McGonagall's eyes suddenly became sharp, dodged the spell away, and the whole street stood up and twisted.
After that, there was a scream.
On the other side of Hogsmeade, two wizards, a man and a woman, were in a fight. They were Honeydukes' owner's wife, Ambrosius Flume, and his wife.
The Honeydukes store that the two are proud of has been attacked, and the smell of candy under the high temperature combined with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood fills the air.
In front of the ruins, one of Mr. Flume's arms had been hanging limply and turned into a weird shape. His wife was protecting him while defending against the spell of the two attackers. But he could already feel that his wife's hands were starting to wear off from the long fight.
"Damn it, where are the Aurors and the Guards?!" Mr. Flume clenched his arm.
A wizard seized the opportunity to attack Mrs. Flume. At this time, he raised his wand with a grin, and a green light shot out from the tip of the wand.
"No!" Mr. Flume screamed and pulled his wife to protect her under him.
However, the pain did not come and was replaced by a weak cracking sound.
Mr. Flume opened his eyes and looked back in amazement. A terrifying black figure stood behind the two wizards, with sharp red claws piercing their throats. There was the sound of sharp claws piercing into the flesh again, and the hearts of the two wizards were penetrated.
A gentle voice came from the side, and Mr. Flume saw a boy in a Ravenclaw robe coming out. He smiled gently beside the two wizards who had lost their lives.
Blood splashed onto his boots, and he raised his wand to wipe it away, "Are you all right, Mr. Flume?"
