Chapter 693 War Machine, Vulcan Leads the Way
Ms. Maxime didn't understand why Hagrid was so happy, nor did she understand how he associated the ferocious fire dragon in front of him with a "good child".
Whose good child can grow fifteen feet tall and breathe fire?
Anyway, she had never seen it, or even heard of it.
On the other side, Norbert immediately let out a low roar after seeing Newt's Hungarian Horntail... The other party was the same.
As for fire dragons, the Norwegian Spinosaurus and the Hungarian Horntail are both famous for their tempers. Even if you accidentally glance at it when passing by, it may fly over and fight you for three days and three nights.
This is also due to nature.
Moreover, Norbert was beaten by this Hungarian Horntail when he was a child. Now that they meet, those bad memories suddenly come out.
Norbert's roars are getting louder and louder, as if he may pounce on the other party and bite it at any time.
The Hungarian Horntail looked down at Norbert, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain on his face.
It was still at the peak age of a fire dragon, and looked down on Norbert, a young man.
"Okay, Hogg, we have something serious to do." Newt just patted the wings of the Hungarian Horntail lightly, and it immediately turned its head to the side.
On the other side, Kyle also calmed Norbert, who was ready to move.
"What should we do?"
"Just leave it to them." Newt said, "Two fire dragons are enough to cause chaos in the giant tribe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hungarian Horntail flew out first, and Norbert spread his wings to be outdone.
The two fire dragons rushed towards the moving giant tribe one after another.
Because there was no hiding, the giants naturally saw this scene. They immediately stopped in place, waving weapons such as wooden sticks and giant axes at the fire dragons in the sky, and roared loudly at the same time.
But the fire dragons didn't care about this. No matter how loud the giants roared, they couldn't fly. What's the use?
As soon as they approached the target, two hot dragon flames instantly poured down from the giant's head, highlighting a fire suppression.
Now, the giant team, which was not very neat to begin with, became even more chaotic. In order to avoid the flames falling from the sky, the giants pushed each other and tried to go to a safer open space.
A giant who was at least 20 feet tall, wearing a helmet and holding a long-handled giant axe roared loudly, trying to calm the chaotic tribe, but to little avail.
Angry, he picked up a sharpened tree trunk and threw it hard at the fire dragon in the sky.
But Norbert just turned around and dodged flexibly. Then he spit a large ball of fire at the opponent's head.
Soon, the giants were scattered to various places, and under the conscious drive of the fire dragons, Gaogaoma had completely left the main force.
But at this time, the giants gradually calmed down from the initial panic, and some giants with good brains had learned from Gaogaoma before and threw their weapons hard.
Now, the two dragons were having a hard time hiding, and what was even more troublesome was that there was a spell of light in it, which obviously meant that the Death Eaters who were mixed in had also taken action.
"Almost."
On the top of the hill, Newt, who had been watching the battlefield, said softly: "There are too many giants, this is enough."
He blew a whistle, and then the Hungarian Horntail seemed to sense something, turned around and flew back here, and slapped Norbert's head with its wings, reminding it to retreat.
After doing all this, Newt disappeared from the spot and used Apparition to come to the giant Gogo Gogo.
"Stop!"
He gathered the soil and stones on the ground together to form a "mud giant" more than ten feet high, successfully attracting the attention of Gogo.
"Are you going to go to war with the wizards?" He shouted loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the valley.
"Go back quickly, go back to your tribe..."
However, in response to him, there was a roar and a huge axe that swept across, and the "mud giant" was directly chopped in half.
Then, two bright lights, one red and one green, shot from not far away, smashing the remaining half of the mud body into pieces.
"It seems that persuasion is ineffective..." Kyle appeared in time and supported Newt who almost fell.
Ms. Maxime also came, holding her wand and looking around vigilantly.
"Are you okay, Mr. Scamander?"
"It's okay." Newt said, he sighed, "I really don't want to do this, but unfortunately, the giant Gugo is unwilling to give up the war..."
Newt waved his wand, and the stones and soil on the ground began to gather again.
"I'll lead him to another place... Kyle, Ms. Maxime, help me cast the fog spell, the larger the range, the better, I can't deal with too many giants at a time..."
"Okay!" Ms. Maxime waved her wand immediately.
A layer of white fog covered the valley, and the giants in the distance gradually became looming.
But the next second, a gust of wind blew, and the fog immediately faded a lot, and at the same time they heard an exasperated voice shouting.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and help!"
Some giants immediately ran over here.
Kyle, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a round bead from the deformed lizard skin bag and crushed it with force.
The churning white fog spurted out from the broken beads and covered the entire valley in a few seconds. The whole world seemed to lose its color in an instant, much faster than Ms. Maxim.
And this fog... the wind never blows away.
"Oh...what is this?" Newt blinked, a little unresponsive.
He was already prepared for a protracted war, but he didn't expect that in just the blink of an eye, Kyle would bring him such a big surprise.
The giants' sense of direction was not very good, and this level of dense fog was enough to make them lose their direction.
"Ah, the Mist Orb, I bought it from Hogsmeade." Kyle said, "It's a pity that this is the last one. I don't know if there are any new ones in the Devisbans store."
"If you have any, you can buy more." Newt said. He took a deep breath and quickly found the direction of the giant's horse by smell.
"Okay, now you'd better stay away."
"Wait a minute." Kyle interrupted him and asked in a low voice, "Can you let me come?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Just leave this giant to me." Kyle said, "Since you are adapting to the war in advance, you can't just do nothing."
"No, this is a giant, you don't have enough experience..."
Before Newt could finish his words, Kyle waved his wand.
The stone on the ground turned into a spear and thrust forward suddenly.
Then the spear seemed to hit something, making a dull sound.
"Roar!"
A roar came from not far away.
"Close your ears and listen!"
In order to prevent the giant from finding this place through sound, Kyle once again used a magic spell.
Listening to the mantra with closed earplugs can fill the ears of people outside a certain range with an indiscernible buzzing sound.
Kyle had tried it before when he was bored. This spell was equally useful to Norbert, because it was not a direct attack spell, but an artificially created environment, just like the fog spell, except that it targeted hearing.
Therefore, the scales of the fire dragon have no effect at all, and presumably the same is true for the giant.
I have to say that this anti-eavesdropping spell is perfect for use with the Mist Orb.
At this time, Newt did not object anymore. He looked at Kyle and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"The best choice is of course the Fire Curse." Kyle said casually: "When dealing with magical animals, this curse is even more effective than the Death Curse."
Even Newt had to admit that Kyle was right.
For some huge magical animals, the effect of the Death Curse is actually not particularly powerful... Even the dark wizard decades ago or Dumbledore cannot directly kill an adult with a spell. Fire dragon.
Not to mention Kyle, who is not yet seventeen years old.
But Li Huo is different...
The monster transformed by Li Huo will continue to strengthen over time, and there is no upper limit. As long as there is enough time, it can even easily devour the giants in the entire valley.
"If you can help it, I'm not suggesting you do it."
Newt said, "Fire is dark magic after all. It's not a good thing if you use it too many times. It will unknowingly make you addicted to that powerful destructive power. Until one day, you will find that you have completely Can't control it anymore.
"Of course, if the situation is critical, it's a different story."
"I know." Kyle nodded, "So I have another plan."
He looked up and saw the giant's figure looming in the thick fog.
"Collapse!"
Kyle waved his wand tentatively, and without any accident, the stun spell bounced off the giant after it hit it.
Their skin is as hard as a rock... no, literally harder than a rock.
However, this move also angered the giant. He noticed Kyle's position and swung the long-handled ax in his hand with the roar of the wind, hitting Kyle less than a foot in front of him.
Kyle backed away while trying other magic.
But whether it was a repelling spell, a cutting spell, a blasting spell, or the more powerful Divine Edge Shadow, all were useless.
The divine sharp edge Wuying, who could easily cut through the stone, only made the giant scream in pain, and then the other party continued to swing the long-handled ax in his hand as if nothing happened.
Of course, this may also be related to Kyle not finding a suitable position... But there is no way, the surrounding white mist not only restricted the giant, but also restricted Kyle.
He could barely see the rough outline of the giant, and he couldn't accurately find the weak parts of the opponent's body.
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
After casting another blasting spell, Kyle looked at the giant who was still unharmed and gasped for air.
After a 20-minute stalemate, Kyle found that he seemed unable to break through the giant's defense at all. On the contrary, he was somewhat broken.
He had thought that the giant might be very hard, but he didn't expect it to be so hard. It seemed that no matter what spells were cast on him, it would have no effect.
The giant seemed to be a little bored, roaring and waving the ax in his hand, as if he was driving away some annoying insect.
Kyle didn't add any more earplugs to listen to the spell this time, mainly because he didn't know where he was now after the battle. He only knew that he had been following the giant in a stalemate for twenty minutes, and he was probably far away from his previous position.
At this moment, a creature that looked like a furry Quaffle suddenly jumped from the fog onto Kyle's shoulder, and then Newt also appeared.
"How does it feel..." he asked with some amusement, "This is the first time he has seen Kyle being defeated, it's quite interesting."
"This guy is simply a mountain." Kyle took a few more breaths, "How were the giants defeated in the last war?"
"It was mainly by dragging." Newt said, "Most of the giants were led to an uninhabited mountain range at the beginning, which was larger than this place. They didn't come out until three years after the war ended."
"What about the remaining giants..." Kyle asked, "I remember that there were giants in the records. Did Professor Dumbledore kill them?"
"No." Newt shook his head, "If I remember correctly, it should be a group of stone statues."
"Stone statues?"
"Well, a group of stone statues that are also not afraid of spells and have great strength." Newt said, "When the giants were about to arrive in Hogsmeade, they suddenly appeared and surrounded and killed the giants outside the village."
"Are they the ones in the school?" Kyle remembered that there was a magic that could drive the stone statues in Hogwarts, but only a few professors could use it.
"It should be. Anyway, people who have seen those stone statues say they look familiar."
"Okay." Newt turned his head and said, "The fog is about to dissipate. Leave the rest to me. We must get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more troublesome when the fog dissipates."
"Give me another three minutes, just three minutes." Kyle said, "I just wanted to test the strength of the giant before, not that I really couldn't do anything with him."
"You want to use Fiendfyre?" Newt raised his eyebrows.
"No, I have another way."
"Okay then." Newt glanced at the thinning white fog around him, "Just three minutes, and I will take over immediately afterwards."
"No problem."
Kyle immediately took out the box and reminded, "Remember to close your eyes, or walk away a little."
"You can't..." Newt's mouth twitched.
But before he finished speaking, he saw a scaly head sticking out of the box, and Newt quickly looked away.
And the giant Gugogogoma seemed to have sensed some kind of threat and began to swing the axe in his hand more vigorously.
"Go, it's time for you to move!"
After receiving Kyle's order, the basilisk rushed out.
At the same time, Kyle also stretched out his wand.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
Gao Gaoma's axe suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab it, but Kyle had already controlled the axe to fly farther away.
While Gao Gaoma was distracted, the basilisk had already come to his feet and bit his calf directly.
The skin that made Kyle helpless was like tofu in front of the basilisk's fangs, and was easily penetrated.
Gao Gaoma screamed and began to hit the basilisk's body with his fists. The venom that was extremely deadly to wizards seemed to have only slowed down his movements a little.
The fist that fell on him like a heavy hammer also made the basilisk scream in pain. It let go of its mouth and quickly entangled the giant's body to climb up, while constantly exerting force.
The fifty-foot-long basilisk was too difficult for Gaogaoma to break free of even though he was the leader of the giants. He subconsciously lowered his head and tried to pull the basilisk off his body.
But when he lowered his head, he happened to meet a pair of yellow eyes.
For a moment, Gaogaoma froze.
The white mist became lighter and lighter. Even Kyle, who was standing farther away, could clearly see that Gaogaoma's feet gradually turned gray and spread all the way to his ankles.
"That's it?"
Kyle was a little bit unbelievable. He saw the basilisk's gaze head-on, but only a pair of feet were petrified... and they were not really petrified, because he could still move, but it was much slower than before, and even the gray and white parts stopped after reaching his ankles.
"This is too unreasonable." Kyle was a little helpless. Although he had thought of this result, he was still a little shocked by the giant's thick skin and flesh.
This guy is simply a natural meat shield. As long as they stand in a row, they are the strongest line of defense.
No wonder Dumbledore and Voldemort both want to recruit giants, they are simply natural war machines.
There is one last trick, if it doesn't work, you can only use Fiendfyre.
Kyle exhaled and stretched out his wand.
Magic runes floated out from the tip of the wand.
The surroundings seemed to suddenly become hot, and tiny flames appeared out of thin air, dancing around Kyle.
These flames continued to gather together and turned into a sea of flames, running and surging around Kyle.
The hot sea of fire seemed to dispel even the thick fog, and the surroundings gradually became clear.
Gaogaoma struggled more violently.
"Come back!" Kyle whispered.
The basilisk quickly got off Gaogaoma, swam quickly, and got back into the box not far away.
Gaogaoma also wanted to run, but his petrified feet were no longer as flexible as before, and the basilisk's poison began to take effect, so he could only move unsteadily, as if he was drunk.
Kyle waved his arms, moving the surrounding sea of fire, and finally pointed his wand in the direction of Gao Gaoma...
"God of Fire, lead the way!"
The sea of fire that was on the verge of erupting suddenly found some kind of outlet, rushing towards Gaogaoma and drowning him in it.
This time the scream was even more shrill than the previous ones, and there was a strange roar in the middle. Before Kyle could hear what it meant, the sound stopped abruptly.
When the flames dissipated, Gaogaoma was lying there, completely unconscious.
Kyle staggered forward and pointed the magic wand at his neck.
"Wait..."
"God's Edge Without Shadow!"
...
