Hogwarts Card System Chapter 229

Chapter 228: Mastering Transfiguration!

The ground beneath everyone’s feet suddenly trembled. The black rock surface, which had been scorching hot but was later cooled by the magical array, began to shake and then bulge…

A giant stone man appeared, its head alone having a diameter of two meters!

Moreover, its body was “painted” with silvery-white patterns, which turned out to be Ted’s magical array!

This enormous stone man, with only an upper body but already twenty meters tall, was connected to Ted’s cooling array on its back!

Or rather, Dumbledore had transfigured Ted’s alchemical array and attached it to his own transfigured product!

Visibly, in this extremely hot land of fire, the black stone man’s body emitted cold air, actually wrapping itself in a thick layer of ice!

Ted was startled!

His own alchemical array had been utilized by Dumbledore!

Dumbledore had cast a Transfiguration spell that Ted couldn’t comprehend, integrating a part of the alchemical array into his creation. By doing so, he took over the ability to convert fire into ice, creating an ice-frost stone man in this high-temperature environment!

“Holy moly~” Ted couldn’t help but curse.

As everyone watched in awe, the half-body stone man slid forward, moving like a mud golem on the ground. Along its path, lava solidified, and small monsters were casually eliminated with a single punch or palm.

The fire elemental monsters that previously required two dwarves to block and three or four wizards to bombard with various spells from behind, blasting them into dust, were now swatted away like flies.

The massive ice-frost stone man, emitting cold air all the way, cooled a path of ice beneath its feet, heading straight towards the “gate” in the center of the land of fire!

Everyone was awestruck by Dumbledore’s move.

He was indeed the greatest white wizard of this century. After observing for over two hours, he crushed the entire field with a single move.

Even Ted’s new invention—the alchemical array—was utilized by him!

Now, those small monsters were no longer a problem. The only remaining concern was the十几-meter-tall molten core giant.

At this moment, Ted reacted: “Damn, what am I doing? This is such a good opportunity to leech experience!”

Although Dumbledore was the main attacker and experience would certainly be reduced, what more could he ask for when it was free?

He immediately wanted to go over.

Lupin, who had been paying attention to Ted, as his “new hope” rested on Ted, quickly pulled him back. “Ted, it’s dangerous ahead, don’t go. You’ve already done very well, thanks to your array. Even Dumbledore has to borrow…”

Lupin was worried that Ted, being unwilling to stay back, might want to help, so he comforted him, saying that his array had already played a huge role.

Indeed, it was true. His potions and array were equivalent to at least thirty to fifty wizards!

Without the Frost Protection Potion and this cooling array, even with fifty more wizards, the advancement speed wouldn’t be as fast as it was now.

But Ted shook his head. “I can help, don’t worry about me.”

Lupin was about to persuade him further when Sirius said, “Let him go, he knows what he’s doing.”

Lupin could only shake his head and say no more.

At this moment, a young Auror, a girl, came over.

“Oh, Mr. Lupin, thank you for saving me just now.” It was Tonks, who was also Sirius’s grand-niece.

Lupin smiled. “You’re welcome. Even without me, someone else would have stepped in…”

…

When Ted decided to leech experience, he had already thought of a strategy.

It had to be wide-ranging, even if the effect was minimal, the range had to be large.

Because the ice-frost stone giant’s attack range was already very wide. Its two arm spans, nearly twenty meters long, swept back and forth, regardless of whether you were a Lava Annihilator, Blaze Guardian, or Flame Walker… whether you were level 11, 12, or 13, you would all die!

So Ted only needed an assist, and he would leech that assist.

He raised his wand. “Strengthened Cyclone!” The two items in his other hand—azurite and blue crystal—turned into powder and flew into the air with the magic from the tip of his wand.

A strengthened cloud cyclone began to form.

This was a weather charm, and Ted used materials to strengthen it.

Using weather charms in such a high-temperature environment was not easy. Many wizards watched the clouds gathering overhead, amazed at how well Ted used weather charms!

At this moment, Sirius thought for a moment and also raised his wand to cast a weather charm, expanding the range and density of the clouds in the air.

Lupin, Madam Olivia, Professor McGonagall, many wizards who had good relations with Ted, all raised their wands to help. Even Snape, with a grim face, raised his wand.

The range of the weather charm suddenly increased tenfold, covering almost half the area of the land of fire. Even the molten core giant, who had been silently guarding the lava pool, turned its head to look!

Ted, with everyone’s help, felt even more confident.

Multiple Freezing Charms!

Multiple Frost Stars!

Multiple Ice Arrows!

As spells were injected into the swirling cloud, with the alchemical array beneath their feet as the energy output, a chilling wind began to blow!

“Blizzard!”

The magical light at the tip of Ted’s wand surged like a searchlight. As his wand pointed forward, palm-sized ice shards and forearm-length ice arrows began to fall from the cloud under Ted’s guidance!

The area covered was half of the land of fire!

Although many times the ice arrows and ice shards melted in mid-air and melted as soon as they hit the ground, quickly turning into water vapor, this was a huge blow to all fire elemental life forms.

Many fire elemental monsters instinctively began to gather, wanting to resist, but they were knocked down and flattened by the ensuing ice-frost stone giant with an arm, turning into a pile of debris…

Only the central lava pool had a very high temperature, and the blizzard couldn’t even blow over it. The ice arrows and ice shards melted in mid-air!

Forget it, it was just to help clear small monsters and share experience. No need to provoke the boss.

Although Ted gave up on fighting the boss, Dumbledore did not.

He extended his wand, controlling the ice-frost stone giant to approach the molten core giant.

When it was less than a hundred meters away, the ice turned into steam, even somewhat obstructing visibility.

The molten core giant finally couldn’t sit still, or rather, it felt that the “gate” was threatened and began to stride towards the ice-frost stone giant!

“Roar~” The previous fire elemental creatures had not made any sound, as if they were all mute, even dying in silence.

But the molten core giant let out a roar, a sound that didn’t seem to come from a living creature, but rather a strange noise of a strong wind gushing out of a cave.

The molten core giant, covered in lava and high temperature, lunged forward. When it was still over ten meters away, it stomped its foot, and the ground suddenly cracked! Winding cracks emitting lava spread towards the ice-frost stone giant.

Ted noticed that Dumbledore’s eyes were calm, and his wand only gently flicked. The cooling array on the ice-frost stone giant’s back, which had been transfigured to a degree Ted couldn’t understand, began to glow!

Then, the blizzard Ted controlled in the sky suddenly began to change. The sparse ice shards and ice cones condensed into giant ice spears, each a meter long, and shot densely towards the molten core giant!

In an instant, dozens, even hundreds, of giant ice spears fell! The scene was magnificent!

At the same time, Ted felt a tightening sensation on his body. Old Dumbledore was actually using him as a relay station, converting a large amount of fire magic into ice power and then transmitting it to the array on the ice-frost stone giant’s back to expand the ice-frost range!

The ice-frost stone giant suddenly spewed a white cold current from its mouth, and the spreading cracks and lava on the ground instantly solidified into black rock…

In the subsequent battle, to be honest, everyone became spectators.

At most, many wizards joined the weather charm army, helping Ted expand the range of the blizzard to balance the environmental disadvantage.

As for the main battlefield, there was simply no way to intervene!

It wasn’t completely impossible to intervene. At least, when the molten core giant shook off debris from its body and stirred up the lava beneath its feet, transforming them into large numbers of small fire elements and lava stone men, the wizards could still help clear them from a distance, but it was not as useful as Ted’s blizzard.

Ted guided a wave of blizzard every 30 seconds, lasting for a minute, which was the greatest support they could give Dumbledore.

The two giant monsters, about twenty meters tall, fought with earth-shattering and ground-shaking force. A single spell from an ordinary wizard wouldn’t even chip off a piece of rock.

Everyone could only watch Dumbledore’s Transfiguration, which had reached an incomprehensible level, continuously weakening the dark red molten core giant…
