Ian had no time to care about the host's sarcasm. He had noticed that among the group of wizards besieging Allen, several wizards at the frontline had taken out some magic scrolls, but they did not seem to want to use them like the others. Instead, they were slowly moving towards the center. Ian recalled what Gravis had said to him. Obviously, they were waiting for an opportunity to give Allen a fatal blow.
Ian, who already knew Gravis's real plan, was not worried or concerned about whether this kind of cover-up could hurt Allen. From now on, the other party kept teasing the other contestants with mischief spells, making him realize that when the time came for the real assassination, it was estimated that it would not be possible to rely on the difference in numbers.
However, what made him even more anxious was that after the assassination attempt, the spectator stands might begin to take action. Ian raised his head and looked over. He was still quite a distance away from the spectator stands. There were countless intertwining curses and numerous contestants in between.
Although the duel this time was no longer a one-on-one duel, and everyone was aware that Allen had multiple teleportation methods, the duel did not use an Anti-Phantom Transfiguration Barrier. However, there was no doubt that it was dangerous to use Phantom Transfiguration Barrier in a place where magic spells were flying wildly and mana fluctuations were too chaotic — especially when Allen was surrounded by the crowd.
Ian estimated that if he directly teleported to Allen's side, he would be hit by many spells before the smoke of the Phantom Transference Barrier completely dissipated. But he did not give up. Instead, he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace towards Allen on foot. He waved his wand hard to counteract the spells that were attacking him. He was not stingy with casting powerful spells to repel the contestants. But more than that, he chose to nimbly avoid the contestants' entanglement and did not start a fight with them.
Fortunately, each of these outer contestants were the best in their own country. Most of them wanted to participate in the duel itself. Compared to the wizards who were besieging Allen, the contestants who remained in the outer circle did not have much of a plan. They were more inclined to attack whoever they encountered, and those who ran away did not bother to chase after them.
What made Ian even more excited was that the closer he got to Allen's encirclement, the less he encountered. These contestants' attention was focused on Allen. As long as they did not provoke him, they would not take the initiative to attack other contestants.
Ian was getting closer and closer to Allen. He could even hear the sound of Allen teasing the other contestants. Knowing the taboo, he gave up on getting closer to explain in detail. He opened his mouth and began to shout, "Allen! Isn't Gravis' target … Huh? "
When Ian saw Allen looking at him, the corners of his mouth curled up into a very gentle smile. Then, he pointed the wand in his hand at Ian. Layers of overlapping force fields formed a prison-like thing that enveloped Ian from head to toe and began to collapse from the outside. Then, Ian disappeared from the audience's sight, and the force field disappeared without a trace.
"A Maze Spell with a spell to increase the distance! The distance is really far … Principal Harris is really knowledgeable. He chose to use the local spell of Greece to defeat the enemy. The source of the Maze Spell is the fertile land under our feet, the island of Crete, Greece! " The Greek host shouted excitedly. He was very familiar with this spell, so he explained loudly, "This spell can expel contestant Knox into a dark and huge extradimensional labyrinth made up of force fields. Unless Knox can rely on his own intelligence to walk out of the labyrinth or summon a Minos Tauren to lead the way, he can only wait for ten minutes or until Principal Harris releases him to leave this extradimensional labyrinth." The host paused and said flatteringly, "Poor American contestant. I don't know how he offended Principal Harris. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out of the maze made by Principal Harris, the wisest of Ms. Ravenclaw's voters."
Allen shrugged and swallowed the flame that the other wizards had used to cast the Maze Spell. In fact, he wanted to prevent Ian from shouting out the rest of his words. Of course, he was very happy that the Ian, who had participated in the assassination of him, changed his stance and stood on his side after knowing that his target was Harris. However, Allen needed this assassination, so he locked Ian in the maze. After all, according to his prediction, Ian would not summon a Tauren, and this spell would consume a lot of his time.
And from the beginning of the competition until now, Allen's somewhat abnormal special attack to the audience had exploded the audience's seats. This kind of individual hero's crushing of the others ignited the people's enthusiasm. Only in the audience seats opposite the dazzling blue and bronze Harris box, compared to the cheering audience, Lupin, Moody, and the other members of the Order of the Phoenix appeared to be calm and restrained.
"The wizards in the inner circle should be just ordinary contestants … Alastor, the one wearing a red magic robe about 70 meters away from your 11 o 'clock, he has been keeping himself in the middle of the circle. He didn't attack Allen, but he didn't attack the others either. Instead, he was looking around … And those two, they are like the male wizard from Bulgaria. They don't like to attack. They are just a little outside the inner circle. They look suspicious …" Lupin turned sideways to Moody, pointed at a few positions, and passed the panoramic telescope in his hand to Moody.
"I can see that even in the face of so many people, Allen still has an overwhelming advantage. He is now using the Mischief Spell to tease these contestants." Kingsley heard the laughter from the audience because of Allen's actions. He held the panoramic telescope and said, "We just have to be vigilant. They should have realized that conventional methods won't work on our principal."
"Allen used the Maze Spell just now when he was trying to capture Peter … I mean, when he wasn't that damned rat." Sirius said with some emotion. "Speaking of which, that year might have been the last time I had a chance to defeat him."
"I say, compared to worrying about that white-haired kid, I noticed something more worrying." Moody's bright blue magic eye kept blinking. The way it moved and his ferocious face looked very frightening. "There are many wizards on the opposite side of the audience seats. Hmm … I noticed about 30 of them. After the game started, they started to deliberately approach Harris' box … This isn't right. This is different from what Dumbledore said …"
"What?" Sirius was stunned. Then his eyes narrowed. "You mean their target isn't Allen?"
"Our opponents are the conspirators of the pure-blood families. Anything is possible." Kingsley held the telescope and looked across the arena to the opposite side of the arena. He calmly arranged, "Sirius, Remus, you two have a good relationship with Harris. It's more appropriate for you to go to Harris' box and remind them to be careful …" He paused for a few seconds. "I'll pay attention to Allen with the mad-eyed guy. According to the temperament of the minister and Albert … it's very likely that they won't be willing to evacuate. Your main task should be to persuade them to summon some Undead Knights from the floating city … Don't look at me like that, Alastor. I don't like these lifeless bodies either. They probably didn't bring them because they were in Greece … But I have to admit that they are quite useful, right?"
Sirius had already gotten up and started to jog over. The mad-eyed guy stopped Lupin who was about to follow. "Inform Harris that we don't need two people. Lupin, quickly go to the tent and find Tonks and ask her to evacuate first. Don't forget that the Death Eaters caused trouble outside during the World Cup in Quidditch."
