Chapter 105: Walking by the River
Snap.
A rope appeared out of thin air, coiling towards the Invisibility Cloak.
This magical creature anticipated the danger early, quickly dodging to the side, its figure rapidly fading.
It was as if it had been erased by an eraser, completely disappearing into the Forbidden Forest.
"I found it!"
Anton's eyes lit up.
The moment the rope appeared, the magical power within the Invisibility Cloak surged rapidly, rushing through its limbs and ultimately into its fur.
Just like a person gets goosebumps when startled, the Invisibility Cloak naturally activated the magical effect on its fur.
The bursting magic rushed to the fur at a peculiar frequency, activating the magical image on the fur.
The structure of that magical image was somewhat like an oval nested structure.
After activation, it flipped into a crown structure.
It looked particularly interesting.
"Nice!"
The Invisibility Cloak miraculously disappeared before his eyes, absolutely shocking!
The 'Wizard's Eye' potion could see invisibility cloaks, but not the Invisibility Cloak!
Stepping forward, Anton picked up a grayish-white hair from the Invisibility Cloak from the ground. The magical image on it began to become stable and lack spirituality.
"Interesting!" He could imitate this effect!
And it could be perfectly integrated into the color-changing wind bird's bionic spell.
Just like the fusion of dragon hide and werewolves!
As Anton continued his research, the previous bionic spells began to undergo extremely rich changes.
Werewolf + Dragon Hide, upgraded to Muscular Dragon Hide Werewolf.
Viper + Runespoor, under research.
'Moving Action Figure' + Dumbledore and Grindelwald's invented 'Guardian Knight Charm', also under research.
Now there's one more, Color-changing Wind Bird + Invisibility Cloak!
"Not enough time..." Anton sighed.
He had to attend every class at school, as this was key to building a solid foundation.
He also had Snape's private lessons every Saturday, which was a precious opportunity many people yearned for.
And every few days, he had to go to the Forbidden Forest to find magical creatures, which was also indispensable. This concerned the delicate balance between Quirrell and Voldemort, and Anton still hoped to learn more knowledge from Voldemort.
"If only I had a Time-Turner."
Just then, Anton suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He unhesitatingly waved his wand.
"Protego!"
At the same time, a mud man crawled out of the ground in front of him, blocking his way.
Boom!
The mud man was blown to pieces, and a emerald green magical light grazed Anton's ear, striking a large tree and sending wood chips flying.
"Avada Kedavra!" Anton coldly watched Quirrell slowly approaching from a distance.
"When did you, this coward, dare to cast an Unforgivable Curse near Hogwarts?"
"Hahahahaha..." Quirrell laughed wildly, his wand-holding hand trembling.
"I've wanted to kill you for a long time, Anton," Quirrell twitched his cheek and said coldly.
"Resurrecting the Master, only I am doing it, only I, it can only be me!"
"Why is it that when you appear, the Master's eyes are only on you?"
"I've given everything for the Master, and you just pretend to be foolish, obediently being a studious good boy, and you gain the Master's trust!"
"I'm not convinced!"
"I was here first!"
"Only by killing you can the Master see all my contributions!"
"Die!"
Quirrell's state was somewhat strange. Even after shedding his usual timid disguise, there was still a visible timidity on his face.
But now, he was so manic, as if he had completely let himself go.
Especially Quirrell's eyeballs, which were burning with purple flames.
In Anton's 'Wizard's Eye' vision, the magical image of Voldemort's soul on the back of his head was twisting like it was boiling, trying to possess Quirrell, but was resisted by Quirrell's body, which had turned into purple flames.
"Purple flames..." Anton pursed his lips.
If he wasn't mistaken, Quirrell was probably in trouble.
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
"Cat-leopard!" Anton's expression was solemn, and he quickly found the answer in his mind.
5X danger level magical creature, on the same level as various dragons, Manticore, Basilisk, Acromantula, Sphinx...
The name Cat-leopard sounds simple, but its abilities are terrifying.
It looks like a leopard, has six legs, is faster than an arrow, and is proficient in hypnosis and Legilimency.
According to recorded captures, it takes hundreds of adult wizards to capture this animal!
Legilimency combined with extreme speed makes this magical creature almost fearless of any danger.
And its proficiency in hypnosis, its effect is comparable to the Imperius Curse, even more terrifying.
Quirrell was hypnotized.
Anton took advantage of Quirrell's wild laughter, quickly pulled out his broomstick from his snuffbox, and whoosh, shot into the sky.
Snap!
A snap of the fingers.
Countless ropes appeared, tightly binding the broomstick.
The ropes, like the body of a python, twisted around the broom, actually breaking it.
Anton fell from mid-air.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
"Traction Rope Charm!"
Halfway down, Anton was instantly pulled by a rope, moving to the left, once again dodging an emerald green spell.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Quirrell cast the Killing Curse with great malice, and spells exploded around Anton.
Fortunately, the 'Wizard's Eye' potion Anton drank was still effective. Quirrell was halfway through his incantation, and Anton could detect it in time and react quickly to dodge.
He was pulled by ropes, rapidly changing positions in the forest, waving his wand, "Loyal Guardian."
A heavily armored knight on a tall horse appeared in the forest, charging towards Quirrell with a five-meter-long spear.
The Guardian Knight Charm is a controllable spell, similar to the Traction Rope Charm.
But Anton hadn't mastered it yet. This high-level Transfiguration spell was not that easy to master.
Now he could only charge straight at Quirrell.
Boom!
The knight finally crashed heavily into a towering tree, breaking it, and then dissipated into specks of light in the air.
Quirrell climbed up from the ground, laughing loudly, "Very powerful Transfiguration, but it doesn't seem to turn, which isn't suitable for use in the forest."
"Displacement Soul Charm!" Anton waved his wand again.
Unfortunately, a faint silver dragon pattern light suddenly appeared on his wrist, and this spell could not be cast.
It was in this moment of surprise that Quirrell's Killing Curse instantly arrived.
Whoosh!
It hit him squarely in the chest.
It was still a faint silver dragon pattern light, which blocked the spell.
Anton was stunned, and quickly lowered his head to glance. He saw countless cracks on the dragon pattern on his wrist. Although it was still there, it looked broken.
God knows if this thing was still useful.
Anton's eyes instantly turned cold.
"This is the second time you've almost killed me, Quirrell."
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
Whoosh!
Quirrell was like a rocket, rapidly ascending into the sky carried by magic, and it was a spiral flight, spinning wildly.
Anton waved his wand, like a conductor, constantly shaking his wand.
Quirrell in mid-air spun even faster, like a rag doll in a tumble dryer, letting out terrified screams of 'Ahhhhhh...'.
And this tumble dryer was also rotating in three dimensions.
Sometimes Quirrell even spun headfirst. In a short while, he was completely dizzy.
Just then, Anton looked at him coldly, and with a gentle flick of his wand, the effect of the Levitation Charm disappeared.
Quirrell began to freefall rapidly.
"Reverse Wingardium Leviosa!"
Quirrell was accelerating!
And on the ground, a sharp rock protrusion was precisely aimed at his head.
Anton's gaze was cold, his brain working frantically. If Professor Quirrell died, he would have to figure out how to deal with pressure from Voldemort, from Dumbledore, and from all sides. He needed a contingency plan.
Just then, a six-legged leopard appeared on the treetop, its purple eyes meeting Anton's.
Boom!
Anton felt as if his whole body was burning, his thoughts racing incredibly fast, so fast that it felt as if his entire being had completely opened up.
His mind was unprecedentedly relaxed and flexible, and countless difficult problems that were hard to understand were instantly solved.
"This feeling..."
Anton's mouth curved into a smile, and purple flames appeared in his eyes, "Not bad."
