Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"The stone spear stands."

An inaudible sound resounded in the responsive room, and I saw a very slender stone thorn with barbs shaped like arrows drilled out from the feet of a training dummy, directly from the vital part of the training dummy. Stab in, and then pierce out from the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Although the stone thorn is slender but very tough, the dummy shook a few times involuntarily after being penetrated by the stone thorn, but the stone thorn was resolutely not shaken by this dummy which perfectly restored the weight of an adult male, about 75 kilograms. Move, without any intention of breaking.

Mike, who was sweating profusely on the side, looked at the dummy who was brutally pierced and tortured, with a smile on his face. After a whole day of hard work, the attack power of the ground stabbing technique has been greatly improved.

And now the earth stabbing technique is no longer the earth stabbing technique that Cedric could easily perceive. After research, Mike found that the release of the earth stabbing technique was entirely based on Mike's own spiritual power to guide the magic to be performed underground. By improving this mechanism, the ground stabbing technique is now more subtle than before.

However, as if thinking of something, Mike's smile suddenly disappeared, and he put on a distressed look and said, "Not yet! It's impossible to break through Cedric's defense at this level!"

As he spoke, Mike performed the ground stabbing technique again.

That's right, Mike is now studying how to break through Cedric's turtle shell.

After enjoying a meal with Professor Flitwick yesterday that the house-elves specially made for this celebration with only two of them, Mike headed into the room of request and began to perfect his spell system.

Previously, Mike was very satisfied with his existing tactical system. The damage included AOE fire spells and single-body magic spells. There are armor and body protection for defense, wind speed spell for pseudo-displacement, phantom body spell for concealment, ground stabbing for sneak attack, and many obstacles for control.

In addition, Mike has a lot of magic spells like Shattering Your Body and removing your weapon that can be used to attack and harass. It can be described as an invincible tactic that can hit and run.

But Cedric taught Mike a real lesson that night.

Injury spells such as fire spells and earth stabbing spells were all eclipsed in front of the stone shield transformed by Cedric, and life-suppressing spells could not be used in front of people.

If this is replaced by an actual combat microphone, it can also rely on the concealment and high mobility brought by the wind speed spell and the phantom body spell to carry out the tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy retreating, advancing, the enemy stationing me, and the enemy lacking me.

Anyway, Cedric's attack range is not large, Mike can easily run out, and Transfiguration does not require magic to maintain, in the long run Cedric will eventually be consumed by himself.

But this is not an actual battle, but a wizard duel in full view.

It's not that Mike is afraid that using this tactic will be looked down upon by the audience, it's just that the scope of the wizard's duel is limited, and he can't use this set of tactics at all.

And you don't need to think about Mike to know that Cedric's Transfiguration can not only be used on defense and offense, but if he turns the entire field into a quagmire, Mike's proud high mobility will also become tasteless.

Now Mike also understands his weakness, lacking a powerful single damage spell that can be revealed in front of others. In the final analysis, what he was worried about was that his most lethal "fireball" serial bombing could not break through Cedric's defense. As long as he could hurt Cedric in that layer of tortoise shell, then all problems would be solved.

For this reason, Mike thought hard for a long time, and even thought of directional blasting, but in the end he chose to start with ground stabbing. After all, he was not a professional in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about explosives.

In addition, Transfiguration is also a good breakthrough. As the saying goes, if you can't beat it, join in. Since you can't break the stone turtle shell, then everyone should be a shrinking turtle together. At most, it will be an exciting wizard. The duel turned into a boring pee fight.

Thinking of this, Mike regretted that he didn't study Transfiguration properly. Whether it was Cedric's superb absolute defense or Dumbledore's wand's terrifying power to instantly kill the Basilisk, it all proved that Transfiguration can be used in high depths. Definitely a power above most spells.

Speaking of which, although Mike has always said that he has not learned his metamorphosis well, in fact, with his profound magic and huge spiritual power, Mike's metamorphosis is also relatively good among young wizards of the same grade.

After all, the Transfiguration of the second grade is not too advanced, it is nothing more than turning a button into a mouse into a scarab, it is very simple.

As long as you recite the transfiguration spell Vera Verto, and at the same time imagine what you want to change in your mind, the more specific you imagine, the higher the probability of successful transformation.

But this is only the most basic metamorphosis. After Mike's experiment, he found that this level of metamorphosis could not be used in actual combat at all.

Not to mention that he can't control the floor to become a shield at will, even the beasts such as lions and tigers that he conjured are just idiots, and they will return to their original appearance with a single punch.

In desperation, Mike could only give up the idea of ​​fighting fire with fire. He really couldn't figure out how Cedric could control everything around him to deform.

That Dumbledore can do this is a must. After all, he is the strongest white wizard, and he was a professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts before, so he must be proficient in Transfiguration.

But it's a bit exaggerated that a student like you, Cedric, who hasn't graduated yet, can do similar things?

"hu~hu~"

Mike, who had tried two more ground stabbings, stopped out of breath, came to the resting place in the training room, and collapsed on the sofa chair.

Staring blankly at the training dummies on the opposite side, which were tattered by stone thorns, Mike only felt thirsty.

Reaching out and groping for a while on the desk beside the sofa chair, he grabbed a glass and lifted it up and poured it into his mouth. However, the water in the glass had already been drank by Mike, and at this moment, no matter how hard Mike poured it, not a single drop of water fell.

One threw the empty glass out, and the glass fell on the carpet with a dull sound, but did not break.

The expected sound of glass breaking did not come, and Mike sighed deeply.

The improvement of the ground stab technique still failed.

Although with his efforts, the ground stabbing technique has become a terrifying sneak attack spell, but the most critical penetration is still not enough, so it will wait until he meets Cedric again in the duel competition. Absolutely lost.

Suddenly, a colic in his stomach pulled Mike from his contemplative state back to reality. He raised his head and glanced at the wall clock. It was now ten thirty in the evening, and Mike realized that he had been in the request room for two full days. , and has not been dripping rice since this morning.

"Let's go to the break. I won't make any progress if I continue in my state. Besides, I have class tomorrow."

Mike thought so in his heart, turned his head and glanced at the bread and sausages that Franklin and Penello brought for him on the desk, Mike pouted and stood up.

He decided to go to the Hogwarts kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. He couldn't eat the cold sausages and bread.
