บท 416: Chapter 415 "The Barrier"

Sean's pupils shrank and turned cold instantly.

Without any hesitation, he didn't even consider that his magic would be known to other people's eyes instantly. He stopped his stunning charm, who was about to be fired, and appeared at the other end of the square.

When Sean teleported away, a big dark black mouth suddenly appeared, biting fiercely at the place where Sean was just now.

Sean didn't have time to think about it and immediately yelled at Charlotte and Sterling, "Get away from him first!"

As soon as the words fell, the Mouth, which was much darker than anything Sean had seen before, had already separated a stream of black particles and directly attacked Charlotte and Sterling.

But the two were some of the best graduates of the two schools, and they had been wandering on the edge of danger for two years after graduation. After discovering that Sean's sneak attack failed and immediately teleported with a strange spell, the two also Responded immediately.

Sterling swung his wand suddenly, and a transparent barrier blocked the two of them. Charlotte grabbed Sterling's collar, cast a Levitation Charm, and pulled Colton from the attack that was towards him at high speed on the other side.

The black particles emitted by the Mouth hit the Protego Charm, sparks were heard in the ear-piercing scraping sound, and the Protego Charm only lasted for about ten seconds before it burst directly into the air.

The black particles rushed towards Sterling and Charlotte at an alarming speed.

What's even more weird is that Sean has seen the wizard lodged by the Mouth before. When the monster starts using its power, the wizard will die.

However, Dawson has not lost his breath of life. He can still move freely and even wave his wand to cast spells.

Dawson cast a spell toward Sean and said fiercely, "Wallup! It's you again. It's always you!"

Sean frowned and dodged the attack. He said loudly from a long distance, "Because your plan is full of loopholes, idiot."

While casting a spell on Sean, Dawson let the Mouth extend from his abdomen to chase Charlotte and Sterling. He laughed, "The teeth of the Mouth are sharp and won't let go of any of you. You have a chance of getting away. You always like to play tricks in this kind of place. Do you think you can find a chance to defeat me by making me angry?"

Sean's expression remained the same, but he quickly avoided one spell after another.

"Idiot. You said so much just now and exposed so much information."

Dawson's expression froze for a moment, and then his eyes became more gloomy, "Damn brat..."

Sean taunted him with words while thinking about all this calmly. Dawson is well aware of his habits. Indeed, Sean likes to take advantage of any enemy's openings.

Of course, the situation in front of him is not optimistic. Sean has never seen such a strange creature. It would be fine if Dawson were the only one. Even though he has been hiding his strength, it is not very difficult to deal with him.

The problem still lies in that strange Mouth.

When Sean met the Mouth before, he could feel a palpitation even if he was hundreds of meters away, but this time, Dawson attended classes, ate, and lived together under the same roof and didn't notice anything wrong.

This time, the Mouth did not deprive him of vitality; it seemed more like he was being controlled. Sean has always had a huge doubt before. Besides Daisy and Snape, are there two other people with such complete restraint in this world?

The Obscurus is the purest and most powerful dark magic. Even if it is the weakest kind, it will take dozens of elite wizards to work together to subdue it.

The Mouth is completely from the Obscurus; no matter how powerful it was, even after the Mouth was formed, it still used the dark magic power similar to the Obscurus. Sean didn't know before whether the Mouth was a magical creature like the Obscurus or a product of some kind of terrible magic, but now he was more inclined to the latter.

It's been a while since he saw the Mouth can be controlled by someone.

The Mouth kept attacking Sterling and Charlotte with black particles, and the two showed an astonishing tacit understanding in front of the powerful enemy. If there is a flaw in one person's defense, the other will immediately make up for it, and then the one who is free will use various means to pull their companion to escape.

Even the two of them could find some time to talk to each other.

"Your Protego Charm is as bad as ever, Miss Hawke."

"Useless Sterling, that terrible Protego Charm just now saved your life!"

"It was indeed my mistake. I thought you could defend yourself."

"Believe it or not, I could kill you right now."

The two fought and retreated, heading towards the direction of the hall. As long as they get closer, the professors can hear the movement from here, and support will come soon.

Sean was forced to the other side of the square. Dawson had seen his teleportation trajectory before and would not give Sean another chance. He also seemed to have received a power reinforcement from the Mouth.

But Sean is not in a hurry; as long as Dawson and the Mouth do not attack together, he can still protect himself. This is Hogwarts, which is his territory. As long as time drags on, Dawson will definitely not be an opponent as soon as Professor McGonagall arrives, so there is no need for Sean to take the risk and make a hasty move.

"Why don't you fight back, Wallop? You managed to make me angry. Why didn't you fight back? Isn't that what you wanted?" Dawson became more and more insane; the smile on his face twisted, and the chilling night wind made his robe move.

Sean escaped a spell by rolling to the side. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. He did not use a single killing curse.

While fighting, he grabbed several items from the system panel. Although he was trying to save it as much as he could, ending up dead was not a good option. On the opposite side, Dawson's smile became more distorted, and his voice became colder. He even started to shoot a powerful spell while approaching Sean step by step.

"If your strength can be as powerful as your mouth, maybe I can respect you a little more!"

Sean replied, "Can you show some mercy? I'm only in the fourth grade, and I'm still a child."

Before he knew it, Sean had been forced to retreat to a bridge, and a coldness had begun to spread from behind him. Behind is the border guarded by Dementors.

However, Charlotte and Sterling had also retreated to the exit of the castle. They seized the gap and cast an explosion spell directly, and the violent sound resounded through the entire castle. Dawson glanced back, and when he turned around again, he had a weird smile on his face.

"You really know how to find opportunities, huh? Professor McGonagall and the others are coming, and I will be no match for all of you."

Immediately, something rang in Sean's heart. The Mouth, which had been chasing Charlotte and Sterling, retracted its magic power instantly and launched a violent attack on Sean.

All this so that Dawson could be free. He waved his wand at the sky directly in front of him, said an unknown spell, and then threw a strange thing straight out. Sean's pupils contracted suddenly, and Dave flew out from the sleeve of his robe, spread his wings, and covered Sean's body.

Sean prepares to take a blow from the Mouth and teleports back to the castle entrance.

The black particles slammed into Dave's back violently. Dave screamed sharply, and there was a huge killing intent in the pain. With Dave exerting most of his strength, Sean still felt a bitterness in his throat, but his spell had been cast successfully.

However, Sean didn't teleport and leave here because he couldn't find the worm he had put before. He had arranged a lot of worms before he came. How could it be possible that he couldn't get to use any of them?

Sean suddenly raised his head and looked into the air. The invisible thing quickly emitted strange fluctuations after being activated by Dawson's spell. The wave engulfed Sean and Dawson, then engulfed the dementors guarding the border, and kept Sterling and Charlotte out.

After finishing all this, Dawson snapped his fingers, and the Mouth withdrew its strength, floating up and down on Dawson's abdomen.

"Enjoy this moment of peace, Mr. Wallup." Dawson laughed pleasantly.

He will not be in a hurry to attack now. It seems that he has great confidence in the barrier he has set up, and he is not worried that Sean will run out at all.

"I like you more and more. Look how cautious you were before, and you refused to take any risks. But once you sensed something was wrong, you immediately became wary. Oh, what a beautiful Winged Demon; it seems that neither of you is seriously injured?" Dawson's tone became more relaxed as if he had already taken control of the situation.

Sean straightened up slowly while feeding Dave some healing herbs and pouring himself a healing potion.

"It seems that your real purpose is me." He said calmly.

Dawson laughed, not even caring about Sean's action.

"Smart, but I have to correct you," Dawson raised a finger, "You are not the first target, but the second target."

"The first target is the prophecy, right?"

Dawson nodded, "Yes, you're smart. You've already noticed it. I'm surprised that I've pretended so well that I didn't even interrogate Severus Snape. You found out that I was weird, but you were still too obvious. When you secretly talked to that ghost, I knew that you had already guessed that the person who cast the curse was me."

"So, the first target failed and turned to the second target?" Sean glanced back calmly, and the dementors trapped in the barrier were already floating around him.

"Correct, Mr. Wallup." Dawson seemed to enjoy the feeling of controlling other people's life and death very much. He wanted to make Sean fall into a little bit of despair that he couldn't struggle out of. "The second target is you. Do you think you can safely take me away from the students?"

He pointed to Sean's back, "Just look at it. The cute dementors are slowly coming to you."

Sean raised his eyebrows, "How are you so sure that you can catch me either?"

No wonder there was no Killing Curse. Dawson wanted to capture him alive.

Dawson nodded happily, hands behind his back, "You shouldn't worry about that. By the way, I invited the Dementors to join just so you can see how much I respect you. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, even dementors are here for you. Are you sure you don't want to thank me?"

Behind him, the chill from the Dementors that could not be dispelled by warmth became heavier, but Sean didn't care. This barrier is weird; he can even clearly see the outside, but his magic power is completely isolated in the faint air.

Dawson stretched out his hands, and the Mouth floated up, revealing a black vortex in the center of the sharp teeth.

"Please don't resist too much, Wallup. I heard your ancient rune is terrible. How wonderful. You probably haven't even seen this ancient magic."

"However, I don't have time to explain it to you. The effect is not permanent after all. But I can save you from the shame. People outside can't see the scene of what's inside. Otherwise, how am I going to able to attack you without any hindrance?"

Sean raised his head and showed an elegant smile that made Dawson a little uneasy, "You said that people from outside can't see what's inside here, right?"
