Chapter 124 Duel

As soon as this statement came out, everyone on the stage became excited again, and they all raised their armbands to signal Lockhart to choose them.

Professor Flitwick received Lockhart's hint and did not embarrass Lockhart. He looked directly at Mike in the audience and shouted: "Mr. Mike Townley, please come up."

Mike was not surprised by this. With a flick of his wand, the levitating spell was quietly released. In everyone's envious eyes, it floated to Professor Flitwick like a leaf, quietly waiting for his opponent.

The first contestant has been decided, but Lockhart is in trouble with the remaining one. There are so many waving little hands in the audience, and he really doesn't know who to choose.

At this moment, a slender and handsome boy was pushed to the edge of the stage by a group of Hufflepuff students.

Lockhart's eyes lit up the moment he saw the boy, and he announced loudly: "Mr. Cedric Diggory, please come up!"

Hearing this, the group of Hufflepuff students cheered, and Cedric shook his head with a wry smile. He had heard about Mike's strength for a long time. To be honest, he really didn't want to fight against Mike, but he The students are so enthusiastic. Now that the matter was over, Cedric was no longer distressed and took out his wand and stepped onto the stage.

The way he came to the stage was very similar to Professor Flitwick. He also used transformation to conjure a huge stone hand and send himself up. But his level of transfiguration was obviously not as high as that of Flitwick. The movements of the stone hand were very stiff, and many stone chips fell down during the rotation of the joints.

When Cedric stood firm, Lockhart and Flitwick left the stage, leaving only Mac and Cedric on the stage.

The two people on the stage did not communicate. They bowed to each other according to the duel etiquette demonstrated by Flitwick and Lockhart before. They each occupied one side of the stage and stood solemnly.

The huge light characters above the stage kept counting down, and everyone in the audience held their breath.

Mike braced himself and looked at the boy opposite him with vigilance. In the original book, although Cedric was killed by Wormtail with the Death Curse as soon as he met him, this did not mean that he was weak. In fact, He is the strongest of all the students at Hogwarts today.

You must know that the mechanism for selecting warriors in the Goblet of Fire is to select the strongest, and Cedric is a warrior selected from countless Hogwarts students. If he hadn't been killed by Wormtail later, Cedric would almost certainly have accomplished something great.

As the light characters exploded, the two people on the stage started to move at the same time.

"Expelliarmus!" "Armor protection!"

The two of them completed the release of the spell almost at the same time. Mike's disarming spell hit the transparent shield in front of Cedric, exploding into a red light.

The Hufflepuff students in the audience breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. After resisting Mike's disarming spell, the shield in front of Cedric only showed dense cracks and did not dissipate. Now Cedric's situation It's great.

But is this really the case?

There was a sneer on the corner of Mike's mouth, and the Wind Speed ​​Spell was activated. Mike stepped sideways and came directly to the other side of the stage. At the same time, he made an inaudible voice, "The stone spear appears."

Cedric on the other side must have noticed the strange movement under his feet through magic perception, and he activated the transformation technique frantically. He saw a stone pillar suddenly protruding from the ground, pushing Cedric flying out, and narrowly escaping. Mike's ground stabbing technique.

"Tsk!"

Mike clicked his tongue in the distance and kept moving his hands. After a while, several lavender fireballs the size of ping pong balls flew towards Cedric. These fireballs were all controlled by Mike's mental power. No matter how Cedric dodged, he was still blown up.

"Boom!"

The continuous explosions caused a large amount of smoke to block everyone's sight. Many Hufflepuff students in the audience closed their eyes in pain, as if they couldn't bear to see Cedric's miserable state.

But again they guessed wrong.

Three stone arrows shot out from the smoke in perfect glyph shapes and shot towards Mike.

With a wave of Mike's wand, the armor protection was released, and only "dang, dang, dang, dang!" was heard. Three crisp sounds were made in succession, and all three arrows were blocked.

However, more arrows had been shot out of the smoke. Mike stepped on his feet and used the movement speed brought by the wind speed spell to move zigzag on the stage to avoid the arrows. At the same time, his hands kept moving, one by one. A lavender fireball quickly emerged from the black rhododendron wand and counterattacked in the direction from which the arrow was fired.

The smoke on the stage was gradually dissipating, and Cedric was seen continuously transforming the stone floor of the stage into arrows and shooting towards Mike. Seeing the fireball coming again, Cedric hurriedly stopped firing arrows and pointed his wand fiercely. The floor around him seemed to come alive and wrapped around him, forming a stone ball to protect him. Inside.

Several fireballs hit the huge stone ball, shattering the pieces on the surface of the stone ball, and at the same time a large amount of smoke was once again stirred up.

Mike did not stop the release of the fire spell and controlled more fireballs to hit the stone ball, because he could see clearly from his magic vision that the bombing he had just done did not hurt Cedric inside the stone ball.

The bombing lasted for a full two minutes before Mike stopped breathing heavily. However, before Mike could rest for long, arrows shot at him again.

After holding on to avoid the arrow, Mike's heart gradually sank.

His magic power was almost at its lowest point, and the long wave of bombardment just now did not hurt Cedric at all as he continued to thicken the stone balls.

His legs were already in pain from using the Wind Speed ​​Curse for a long time. Mike only felt that his mouth was full of the taste of rust, which was a sign that his physical strength was approaching its limit.

Cedric's defense was really amazing, and if he continued like this, he would probably be consumed to death by him.

The corner of his eye swept across Professor Flitwick in the audience, and seeing the somewhat disappointed look on his face, Mike's heart twitched sharply.

"No, we absolutely cannot lose!"

Clenching his teeth, Mike squeezed out the remaining magic power in his body and used the final fire spell.

A purple fireball the size of an egg appeared on the tip of Mike's staff. As Mike's magic power continued to be instilled, the color of the fireball continued to deepen, and finally turned into a dark purple fireball the size of a heart.

This fireball doesn't seem to be very stable. It beats constantly like a real heart, and every time it beats it emits an astonishing amount of heat.

"Bo!"

The dark purple fireball fell off the tip of Mike's staff and flew in the direction of Cedric.

After releasing the fireball, Mike suddenly collapsed to the ground, forced himself into a hole he had blasted before and curled up into a ball.

Mike knew very well what kind of terrible damage this dark purple fireball could cause. This was already Mike's most destructive spell at present. If Cedric could still block this blow, Mike would be willing to admit defeat.

Professor Flitwick in the audience changed his face the moment he saw the fireball. With a flick of his wand, he pulled Cedric and Mike on both sides of the stage to him. At the same time, a "Total Protection" shielded the entire stage. shrouded.

"Boom!"

As the dark purple fireball hit the stone wall that Cedric had built before, the powerful explosion energy carried a large amount of rubble and hit the transparent shield. Everyone in the audience watched in stunned silence as a dazzling light lit up from the stage. The brightness was so high that the entire auditorium was darkened.

When the light dissipated, everyone saw that the transparent shield covering the stage was full of cracks. At this moment, most of the stage had disappeared, and the place where Cedric was originally turned into a deep pit. There is fiery red magma flowing slowly at the bottom.

Cedric stared blankly at the big pit and said tremblingly:

"I...I lost."
