"Cassandra Worley..."

Furong felt like she was facing a great enemy.

The corpses of the fire crabs piled up under her feet made her feel like her feet were stepping on soft sand, and Cassandra was like a terrifying golden shark, ready to tear her to pieces at any time!

Fleur's fighting spirit was wavering, but she still didn't put down her wand. It wasn't because she was so strong, but judging by Cassandra's performance in the last game, if she didn't resist, she might die! But even so, Fleur had a question she wanted to clarify:

"I don't understand why you are targeting Beauxbatons so much?"

In the first game, Cassandra eliminated quite a few people, but no one died except the Beauxbatons warriors.

She couldn't figure out what had happened to Beauxbatons that had offended Cassandra. Could it be that the girl had originally wanted to go to Beauxbatons but was rejected?

But Cassandra had no intention of answering Fleur's question.

Not only did she not answer, she also said in French: "I'm sorry, I don't understand French."

Then he raised his hand and cast a spell! "Armor protect you!"

"when!"

The spell hit Furong's Iron Armor Curse right on target. After all, she was chosen as a warrior, so Furong's spell skills were still pretty good.

In fact, a qualified magic school graduate should meet the minimum standards for the Ministry of Magic Auror selection upon graduation. Furong's knowledge and magic power are already very impressive, and it is possible for her to stay in the school as a professor right after graduation.

The only drawback is that there is too little practical experience!

Compared with top geniuses like Cassandra, there is still a big gap.

In fact, Cyrus had already made an assessment of Cassandra's talent. Although this girl was a little arrogant sometimes, her talent was definitely not inferior to that of Barty Crouch Jr. and Snape! However, no matter how talented Cassandra was, Fleur felt deeply insulted at this moment.

Her English was indeed not good at the beginning, but she had been in Hogwarts for several months, so she was not completely unable to speak it. She had asked the question in English just now, but Cassandra answered in French and said she didn't understand! Isn't this humiliating? !

Fleur glared at Cassandra angrily with her blue eyes - this woman was so awful!

Even if I die, I won't let her look down on Beauxbatons!

With this mentality, Furong decided to fight to the death. She knew that killing was not allowed in the second game, otherwise the rules of the game would be cancelled. But from Cassandra's look, it was obvious that she had never taken the game seriously from the beginning.

That’s right, even the principal has already participated in the competition, and the other warriors have been just supporting roles from the beginning.

As for the possibility of facing accountability from the International Confederation of Wizards after killing someone, Furong did not hold out hope. After the last match, the attitude of the International Confederation of Wizards was already very clear. They did not dare to do anything in front of the young headmaster of Ilvermorny.

You can only risk your life and fight for the honor of the warriors and the glory of the school!

Furong took a deep breath, picked up the wand, and when she opened her eyes again, she became determined.

Cassandra didn't know why Fleur's momentum changed so much all of a sudden. In fact, she really didn't intend to kill anyone this time. Since Fleur was not a Death Eater, there was no need to kill her. She was not a murderous devil.

However, seeing Fleur's attitude of facing death, Cassandra still cheered up.

Belief plays a huge role when wizards cast spells. The power of wizards comes from magic and their hearts. Furong's resolute attitude at this moment, not to say that she will explode, but at least it can allow her to exert the power she should have.

“Shattered into pieces!”

Fleur cast a very destructive spell as soon as she struck! Cassandra pointed her wand at the ground without hesitation: "There are many obstacles!"

Then, the smooth black marble floor suddenly bulged up, forming a trench like a wild cat arching its back, and became a barrier in front of Cassandra.

“Bang!”

A loud explosion!

The raised obstacle was like several knives piercing through tofu, and was instantly chopped into pieces by Furong's spell.

Fleur pressed on with her victory, she didn't dare to leave the rhythm of the attack to Cassandra, so she blew up the ground and couldn't wait to cast the next spell.

"Ten thousand bullets fired at once!"

The power of the second spell directly controlled the rubble that was blown into small pieces.

The rubble seemed to have become bullets and flew out from every corner towards Cassandra, like a torrential rain, trying to blast her body into a sieve! She had nowhere to hide because the rocks had surrounded her!

But how could this trick stop Cassandra? She laughed coldly and cast an armor spell. An invisible barrier blocked her way, and the rocks flew towards her, and immediately turned into dust and powder after passing through the spell!

"You've made my clothes dirty." Cassandra frowned, patted the dust off her body with an unhappy look, then performed a cleansing spell on herself, and she became clean again.

But she was already a little unhappy and wanted to end the battle quickly.

"The dragon is out of the cave!" Cassandra summoned a black poisonous snake. The next moment, another expansion spell hit the black snake she summoned: "Grow bigger quickly!"

“Bang!”

After a burst of smoke, the venomous snake that was only two meters long suddenly became larger than the basilisk! The black snake raised its triangular head, and its cold eyes gave off a fishy smell like stagnant water covered with moss!

It spit out its scarlet tongue and felt Hibiscus surrounded by fear in the darkness.

Furong raised her head stiffly. Her heart seemed to be squeezed, or even more like being entangled by the muscular body of the huge monster in front of her. She was almost unable to breathe.

For wizards, ferocious beasts are also terrifying enemies, not to mention a monster as huge as a train that has been cast with an expansion spell?! The venomous snake made its own attacking posture, with one-third of its body raised, and the scales on its body looked even bigger than a human palm.

Those scales opened and closed like steel, as if they were breathing! It had found its target!

The huge and terrifying head immediately smashed down towards Furong! "Bang!!!"

The marble floor shattered under the impact -

Furong rolled on the ground in a panic, thus avoiding the attack. However, the head of the huge black snake was only millimeters away from her. The fishy smell emanating from the slit-like nostrils of the venomous snake rushed directly to her forehead!

"hiss--"

It spit out its cold and sticky tongue, and the trembling snake tongue hit Furong directly on the face, giving Furong goose bumps all over her body.

Being eaten? Furong's mind was suddenly filled with this thought, but the big snake had already straightened its body again and held up against the ceiling.

It strikes again, and the wind it brings is stinging!

Furong felt that the wind blowing towards her seemed to have become hot.

She opened her eyes in surprise, only to see that the huge black snake was now completely wrapped in flames and was burned to charcoal in an instant. The moment it fell, the flames were extinguished, leaving only the black skeleton that shattered at the touch and turned into ashes on the ground!

Cassandra's eyes glanced back.

From behind him, a tall and handsome man walked out.

He had a straight face, a gun in one hand and a wand in the other, pointed at Cassandra - it was Cedric.

"Let her go." Cedric looked at Cassandra seriously, as if he was on guard against Cassandra attacking him. Facing a wizard like Cassandra, even if he had a magic gun in his hand, he didn't feel too safe.

Although some of the spells are very powerful, he may not be able to hit Cassandra with his skills.

"The Hogwarts warrior?" Cassandra looked surprised. "I remember your name is Cedric Diggory. Cyrus mentioned you specifically and said you are a promising talent. But what are you doing here? This is none of your business, right?"

"It's none of my business, but I can't let you kill her." Cedric said seriously, "Harry said you're not a bad person, but..." He paused and raised his chin, "Let her go."

Cassandra looked at the black muzzle of the gun that Cedric was pointing at her and stopped attacking for a moment.

She had already experienced the power of the spell bullets in the first level. The most powerful spells could even break her super-strong armor spell in an instant.

Fighting against Cedric and Fleur who were both armed with guns at the same time, Cassandra was not very sure that she could win. Besides, Fleur Delacour was not a Death Eater to begin with, so there was no need for her to keep biting her.

So she spread her hands to indicate that she would not continue the attack.

"Come here!" Cedric shouted, and Fleur, who was lying on the ground, finally reacted and crawled out of the ashes of the dead black snake and ran to Cedric's side.

The two of them wanted to leave immediately, but Cedric suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at Cassandra, and after hesitating for a long time, he still extended an invitation.

"Miss Worley, why don't we cooperate?" Cedric said.

"cooperate?"

Not only Cassandra, but Fleur also frowned. She looked at Cassandra angrily. Needless to say, her inner resistance could be clearly seen from her expression.

After all, this woman had nearly killed her just a few minutes ago.

"We are not as strong as the two headmasters and the dark wizard Grindelwald, so we should gather our strength together."

It can be seen that Cedric is different from Cassandra. Even facing the current situation, he has not given up the idea of ​​winning.

"You are very capable," Cedric continued, "but I know more about the Ministry of Magic than you do. This is the second floor of the Ministry of Magic. I guess the treasure we are looking for may be on the last floor."

"That's interesting, you're from Hufflepuff house, right?"

"We're all Hufflepuffs."

Talking about his own academy, Cedric puffed out his chest with pride.

"I heard that Hufflepuff House would recruit students that the other three houses didn't want. They weren't that smart, brave, calculating, or honor-conscious. But you don't look any different."

"You are wrong." Cedric said seriously, "Hufflepuff will accept upright and loyal wizards."

Although it is true that many mediocre students remain in Hufflepuff, which makes many people a little prejudiced against Hufflepuff House, in fact, Hufflepuff does not ignore other qualities.

How can a man who is honest and loyal not be brave?

How could he not be someone who cares about his reputation?

"Competing with Cyrus..." Cassandra pinched her delicate chin, with an excited expression on her face.

To be honest, the proposal was too tempting for her.

Cassandra, who had a clear understanding of Cyrus's strength, knew that she could not win, not to mention that she also knew Cyrus's plan. The so-called tournament was just a stage for a duel with Dumbledore.

But Cyrus has his own things to do, and if he performs better, he will get more praise.

"Okay, let's try it." - On the other side, Cyrus cleared four levels in a row, from the original third level to the sixth level.

After the Ministry of Magic was disrupted, no one knew which floor they would reach after opening a certain door. Cyrus traveled smoothly all the way. In addition to the Sphinx he met at the beginning, he also met many magical animals and even many magic puppets, but nothing could stop him from moving forward, except -

Another legendary wizard!

Cyrus's steps paused in a room full of fireplaces.

It was very quiet here. The table in the room was filled with small baskets filled with various powders.

This stuff is Floo powder.

Cyrus also used them to confirm his current location at the Floo Network Administration on the sixth underground floor of the Ministry of Magic.

But compared to these insignificant things, the other person who had followed him for a long time was the one he really cared about. He did not look back, but turned his back to the fireplaces and said, "You've been following me for so long, and you finally can't stand it anymore?"

Cyrus had just finished speaking when a fireplace behind him suddenly caught fire.

A figure seemed to appear in the green flames.

Then, a white-haired old man in a windbreaker walked out of the flames.

He walked quickly, and the flames on the back of his windbreaker had not yet gone out, following him like a butterfly from hell.

It's Grindelwald.

Of course, Cyrus had expected this.

He didn't know what caused Grindelwald to become so hostile to him in an instant, but he didn't really care.

He grasped the snakewood wand as if he was grasping the most powerful force in the world.

At this moment, two people who could be called demon kings were facing each other across a wide table—both of them were holding magic wands, and there seemed to be a vortex spinning in the center of the room! (End of this chapter)
