Antonin Dolohov stood there trembling all over, his cold eyes fixed on Kael. Behind him, more Death Eaters stared at Kael with the same gaze.
"Yes, that's right," Kael shrugged, "I am indeed playing with you. Do you have a problem with that?"
A green light suddenly shot over.
But it was as if Kael knew in advance, as he calmly stepped to the left.
The Killing Curse whizzed past him, hitting the wall.
"Thanks," Kael said with a smile.
A low growl came from the lingering smoke behind him, as if in response.
Lupin, standing closest to Kael, vaguely saw two ghostly blue flashes in the smoke.
"But what are you going to do next?" Bellatrix stepped out from the Death Eaters. "You don't really think you can handle all of us alone, do you?"
Her reminder jolted Mr. Weasley back to their current predicament, and he grabbed Kael's arm, "There're too many of them. We need to run..."
"It's too late."
The Death Eaters spread out quickly, surrounding them in an instant.
Bellatrix said menacingly, "So what if you saved those idiots with a bit of cleverness? It only buys you some time. Soon, we'll catch them again, and as for you, I'll torture you with the Crucio Curse for a day, no, a year."
"Tsk tsk, long time no see, Bella, still as scary as ever," Kael greeted her like an old friend.
"But who said I came here alone?"
Kael waved his hand, and as the smoke cleared, a Fantastic Beast that resembled a leopard appeared before everyone.
It had six legs and a pair of bright ghostly-blue eyes.
"Another Transfiguration," a Death Eater sneered, "You think we'll fall for it again..."
The Death Eater hadn't finished his sentence when the Fantastic Beast appeared in front of him at an incredible speed.
The sharp claws grew larger, and with a loud scream, that Death Eater was knocked away, lying still on the ground.
Seeing this familiar scene, Harry instinctively thought of some unpleasant memories and shivered all over.
At the same time, this event showed everyone that the Fantastic Beast before them was not a Transfiguration but a real entity.
"Reducto!" Antonin Dolohov waved his wand, "Just a Wampus Cat, what can it do?"
"Who told you I only had one?" Kael said with a smile.
Without warning, a stream of flames shot out from behind Kael, and a massive Fire Dragon appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.
Some Death Eaters couldn't help but remove their masks and rub their eyes... It was strange how they were seeing a Fire Dragon.
Before they could react, the ground began to tremble... A ten-foot-tall Three-Headed Dog appeared, with heads as large as tables, mostly covered with inch-long sharp fangs.
Some Death Eaters began to tremble, not doubting for a second that those fangs could easily penetrate their bodies.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Reducto!"
"Stupefy!"
"Protect them..." Lupin shouted, being the first to draw his wand.
Several Charms flew towards them from all directions, half of them blocked by Lupin and the others, but the other half hit Fluffy and Norbert, including a Killing Curse.
If it had been Voldemort's Killing Curse, it might have penetrated fur and scales to kill them, but these Death Eaters were far from that standard.
Fluffy only staggered a bit before standing firm again, eyes flashing with ferocity, roaring as it charged into the crowd.
Norbert made it simpler, taking to the air directly and breathing large torrents of fire at the densest cluster of Death Eaters.
Sirius quickly forgot the earlier embarrassment, laughing heartily as he joined in.
"Come on, don't run," he shouted, taking down a Death Eater with his wand, tying him up, and tossing him aside, "You were just so proud, weren't you? Continue then!"
The Death Eaters were in complete chaos now, the addition of the Three-Headed Dog and the Fire Dragon had changed the battle entirely.
Typically, these Fantastic Beasts weren't too difficult to deal with, seven or eight people casting Charms together could take one down. But the problem was, there weren't just Fantastic Beasts here.
Every time the Death Eaters tried to use Charms simultaneously, Sirius and the others would leap out to cause trouble, more dedicated than when protecting themselves.
Because as long as the Fire Dragon and the Three-Headed Dog were unharmed, they would resolve the situation for them, and more efficiently.
The scene became one-sided in an instant.
"We can't go on like this." Lucius Malfoy limped over to Bellatrix, his mask having been burned away by Dragon Flame, along with most of his meticulously cared-for hair.
But Malfoy had no time to worry about that now.
"We have to find a way to leave here!" he shouted loudly, "At least lead those two beasts away."
But Bellatrix acted as if she hadn't heard, dodging a descending Dragon Flame with a flip, extending her wand towards Kael, but then slightly adjusting her wrist within seconds, aiming the tip at Harry, who held the Crystal Ball.
Harry stood there dumbly, not noticing the impending danger until something kicked him hard, sending him flying just in time to dodge a deadly Charm.
"Oh, thanks," Harry said gratefully to the Wampus Cat after getting up, unaware that when he fell, the Crystal Ball had rolled out of his pocket, shattering against a nearby stone step.
