Hannaford, the captain of the Auror squad, blocked an arrow shot by Professor Sprout with an 'Iron Shield Charm'. Following that, he couldn't dodge in time and was slashed in the shoulder by a cunning barbed demon. Although his uniform provided excellent protection against such direct physical attacks and prevented him from losing his arm, the barbed demon still pulled out its machete. Under the effect of the serrated hooks, the originally small wound on Hannaford's shoulder began to bleed profusely.
Seeing that their captain was injured, the other two Aura quickly approached him. The Aura who cast the Super Iron Shield Spell took his place and wanted to retaliate against the Barbed Demons. But then he realized that the Barbed Demons could easily defeat them one-on-one, so he retreated back to the group of Lesser Demons and used his mindless subordinates to protect himself. The other Aura tried to use his wand to point at his captain's wound. However, due to the fact that his healing magic and the potion that he carried with him could heal his wounds quickly, the effect was limited in the face of the Barbed Demon's machete. It seemed that the wound would need to be repeated many times before it would be as good as new. They had no choice but to temporarily give up on healing and return to the battle. The wound caused by the Barbed Demon's machete was a permanent wound that could not be healed naturally and would resist healing magic.
At this moment, Professor Sprout's' Activated Plants' finally started to take effect. The ornamental plants in the shops quickly spread to the battlefield, entangling and binding the clumsy inferior demons. Then, they began to shrink tighter and tighter. Even if the Lesser Demons tore apart some of the vines, the vines that had entangled them continued to grow on their bodies. The speed was so fast that the Lesser Demons had no way to get rid of them.
The seeds that Professor Sprout had scattered earlier drilled out from the ground. The vines grew wildly. Their thick stems and branches intertwined and intertwined into a huge plant monster. Not only did it have many long tentacles, but it also had huge claws. The Vine Monster looked like a pile of rotten vegetables, full of lumps, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
The Hellhounds with black spikes on their backs roared and pounced on the Barbed Demon. Their eyes were glowing red, and they had two sharp black horns protruding from their cheeks. They opened their mouths wide and bit the Barbed Demon's calf. No matter how hard the Barbed Demon struggled, it could not get rid of them. The Barbed Demon raised its machete and slashed at the Hellhound's head. But when it approached the Hellhound's head, the Vine Monster's claws caught the blade.
The Barbed Demon roared violently, but in front of a powerful creature like the Vine Monster, it could not resist at all. It wanted to move its body, but because the Hellhound was holding it back, it could not move.
The Vine Monster's two huge arm-like limbs had countless twisting vines and branches. They tightly wrapped around the Barbed Devil, tightening as if they were going to swallow it whole. The Barbed Devil screamed again and again. Before it was caught in the Vine Monster's arms, it was twisted into meat paste by the Vine Monster's tentacles. In the end, it was stirred into the Vine Monster's thick body and became one with the Vine Monster, becoming a part of it.
When the Lustful Demon saw the Vine Monsters, she put away her playful demeanor and controlled the centaurs to entangle Flive. Then, she spread her red wings, opened her red lips, and stared at the Animated Plants that had entangled the Lesser Demons. She pointed at a target and a pea-sized scorching ball flew out from her fingertip. Then, with a low rumble, it blossomed into a huge fireball that exploded among the Lesser Demons. The Animated Plants and the Lesser Demons were engulfed in a single gulp. Even the Barbed Demons that were unafraid of fire were knocked to the ground by the shockwave of the explosion and couldn't get up for a long time.
The Vine Monsters were also affected by the Lustful Demon's fireball. Although they were not as fragile as the potted plants, they also began to burn. However, because of the thick roots, the fire did not spread quickly for a while.
When the Lustful Demon was distracted by the Vine Monsters and began to cast her spell, Professor Fleevy took the opportunity to cast a Counter Curse on Firenze to get rid of the Vine Monsters' control. However, Firenze who had just regained consciousness was still in a daze. His abdomen was trembling violently, and he was sweating profusely.
"Firenze, come here." Professor Fleevy's unique voice sounded. Firenze flew past the disgusting Lesser Demons on the ground and toward Professor Fleevy. Its platinum hair and the thick silver mane on its back fluttered in the wind. Its ponytail also fluttered uncontrollably behind its back.
"I'm sorry, Professor Flick, I …" Firenze remembered what he had just done, and he felt very guilty. However, before he could finish apologizing, Professor Flick waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry.
"It's nothing, Firenze. The Lustful Demon's Confusion has a limited range. Your shooting range is much longer than hers. Back off and help out with your arrows." Professor Fleevy pointed behind him. He could not wait to use a powerful Counter Curse to solve the problem. His students were still waiting for his rescue.
"Throw out all the portable swamps you have!" Seeing the flames on the Vine Monster's body, Edward Brown, who didn't come to Hogsmeade Village because he was sleeping in, only rushed over because something happened. He rolled his eyes and shouted to the students of Hogwarts beside him.
Last year, when the Weasley twins played a prank on the Hogwarts, they activated a portable swamp in the corridor on the east side of the tower on the sixth floor. The entire corridor was flooded with annoying muddy swamps. Filch tried all kinds of methods to clear the swamps, but to no avail. In the end, the caretaker had to use a gondola to ferry the students across the swamps. After that, when Professor Fleevy cleared the swamps at the end of the semester, he purposely left a small piece of the swamps under the window because he thought "it was a piece of amazing magic."
For this reason, the portable swamps became one of the most popular products in the Weasley Magic Circus.
A few of the Gryffindor brats hurriedly threw a portable swamp that they had bought near a Vine Monster that was on fire. The swamp quickly expanded when it landed on the ground and covered the Vine Monster. The Vine Monster fell to the ground with a thud and rolled around in the mud of the swamp. The flames on its body were extinguished. Then, the Vine Monster that was covered in natural fireproof mud got up clumsily and pounced on the next Barb Demon that was forced to stand in front of her under the command of the Lustful Demon.
Firenze, who was controlled by the Lustful Demon, kept shooting arrows at the Lustful Demon from afar. The arrows accurately passed through the gaps between the remaining Inferior Demons and the Barbed Demons, forcing the Lustful Demon to cast a Counter Curse to avoid being hit. However, she did not have the chance to cast any other offensive Curses. All she had to do was wait for the slow-moving Vine Monsters to catch up. It was only a matter of time before she was defeated.
"Well done, Professors."
Upon hearing the absent-minded voice, Bair withdrew his burning yellow eyes and stared at Luna who seemed to be fascinated by the show. He said with a tone of helplessness, "Looks like we don't have much time left. I think we should hurry."
Upon hearing Bair's urging, Luna snapped out of her daze and nodded. She began to search her pockets with both hands as if looking for keys. Finally, she looked around and focused her gaze on Bair's tail, which had ended countless lives. "Lend me your tail."
Jenny, who was rolling on the ground after being picked up by Pip, knew how close Luna and Allen were. She also knew that Luna had learned some magic from Allen in ancient magic class. However, Hermione and the professors were powerless in the face of this demon. Jenny wanted to stop Luna from spouting nonsense in front of the demon. Luna was usually eccentric, so it was fine if she went crazy in front of her classmates, but the big demon in front of her was not in the mood to play with her.
Bair silently held two ice creams, his arms still. His eyes became a little alert, but in the end, he obediently handed his tail to Luna. In this situation, the three skulls on his tail looked a little dull.
Although the wizards around them could not move, everyone was listening to their conversation. When they heard Bair's request and Luna's response, Dean Ravenclaw was anxious. At this moment, he felt helpless and hopeless. The Lustful Demon in front of them was really difficult to deal with. They were about to defeat her and victory was in sight, but the demon seemed to be urging Luna, not wanting to give her any more time.
"This is the demon's favorite trick. They give you hope in the midst of despair, only to shatter it at the last moment." Firenze was burning with anxiety. He thought that he had been delayed for so long because he was under the demon's control. He had given up on attacking the Lustful Demon and switched to shooting arrows at Bair. However, arrows without magic power were no threat to the demon.
On the way here, Firenze had already heard about Zhang Heng's description. Zhang had described how powerful the Devil's tail was. Luna didn't see the power of the Devil's tail, so she recklessly asked for it. If she was scratched by the spikes on the tail, then she would definitely die.
In the Three Brooms Pub, Madam Rosmerta and the waitress, Cheryl, were quietly observing the demon and Luna who were not too far away from each other through the window.
"What does she want with the tail?" Madam Rosmerta held her breath and asked in surprise.
"What a pity. The professors almost succeeded …" Cheryl, the waitress of the Three Brooms Pub, was shocked. She put her arms on the windowsill and her eyes were faintly sparkling. "It's so romantic. She's willing to do it for Allen? Professor Harris can die in place of Miss Granger. This way, he will never forget her. "
"No! Miss Lovegood! Stop! " Fleevy's voice was sharper than usual. Professor Sprout's eyes were red as he commanded the Vine Monster he summoned to devour the last Barbed Demon.
Luna's eyes focused on Bardi's tail. She gently poked the poisonous tip of the tail with her left index finger. In an instant, a drop of red blood appeared on her fingertip. The surrounding wizards couldn't help but gasp when they saw Luna's suicidal action. They couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. However, they immediately suppressed their shock and suppressed it in their throats.
"Ouch …" Without any warning, Luna suddenly wailed and fell to the ground. This somewhat dull wail was not like the other Aura who had been poisoned by the tail, but it also stopped in an instant.
In the distance, Cheryl, who had walked to the entrance of the Three Brooms Pub and was paying attention to the development of the situation, leaned against the door frame and covered her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from crying out loud. She sobbed like many of the young wizards and professors present. "I'm afraid this little witch is doomed. Professor Allen Harris will feel terrible if he knows."
