Chapter 194 Dead Soul Beast
There was a gasp in the audience, expressing the shock of the audience——
The official name of the competition announced by Anriel is undoubtedly telling everyone that the core highlight of this game is the battle between the players.
Or in other words, it is -
Escape and pursuit.
As for whether some little ones can accept this...
What does that have to do with Anriel?
The one who is more likely to have a real impact on Anriel is still tied to the mermaid statue at the bottom of the lake.
As for whether Anriel's words have any deep meaning...
In fact, there are.
......
Hogwarts has always been the most authoritative educational institution in the British wizarding world.
To what extent is it authoritative?
It is so authoritative that 99% of British magical families take it for granted that they should send their children to Hogwarts to study.
This school has sent a large number of magic talents to all walks of life in the UK, and even to the American Ministry of Magic across the ocean...
In particular, during his tenure as headmaster, Dumbledore, who is 113 years old this year, did one thing:
In the Ministry of Magic, no matter what position you hold, as long as you are not yet the Minister, you must greet me as the Headmaster when you see me.
Of course, there are also Wizengamot members who call him "senior brother"...and each of them is at least a hundred years old.
Except for the Minister of Magic and his short-sighted lackeys, who personally took charge of the situation and controlled public opinion...
What impact do you want to have on Dumbledore and the Hogwarts he represents?
Go to sleep, everything is there in your dreams.
To exaggerate a bit, the influence is basically:
zero.
Under this social configuration, Anriel wanted to promote his new ideas.
Especially, if I want wizards to join the war voluntarily...
His best and almost only breakthrough point is naturally to attack the basic foundation of education.
First, let these little guys realize that they will have to deal with humans in the future, not some other magical animals...
Cultivate a sense of resistance, cultivate a sense of fighting...
In comparison, the short-sighted Fudge only cared about the rights in front of him... He did not realize that rights can only be born and enjoyed under relatively stable social conditions.
Anriel's move to spread this fighting spirit today might make Fudge desperate... Even if Anriel really let him see Voldemort's resurrection, the old guy would probably insist on solving the problem of Hogwarts first.
After all, before we can resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation.
So what else is there to say?
I say, that’s a great idea, Mr. President!
......
The Battle Royale at the Black Lake had just begun, and the Hogwarts team had unfortunately lost one member...
It's quite difficult to hold.
After Anriel shouted out the full name of this round of competition, a golden triangle slowly emerged on the foreheads of all the contestants moving rapidly in the water... and then a vertical line.
And finally, the black spot gradually expanded and turned into a hideous skeleton.
Although Anriel could guarantee that the participating warriors would never feel the mark, Krum still instinctively revealed an expression of disgust.
Even he himself was surprised -
Because he is now wearing a shark head...
He and Carmen did not discuss for too long before they came up with the best solution.
Krum is responsible for rescue, while Carmen is responsible for intercepting other teams and preventing them from saving and scoring.
No reason, the main reason is that Krum's Transfiguration Spell can only support him to change most of his body, instead of turning him into a complete shark.
As for Carmen...
A mermaid who looked almost as ferocious as the group of evil creatures at the bottom of the lake swam by:
Within seconds of entering the water, Carmen transformed herself into a mermaid - with prosthetics.
He didn't really care what Anriel said to the audience in the stands.
Anyway, that's how the rules are set, and that's what he did. It's always a good idea to eliminate an opponent first in a competition.
It can be said that Carmen's transformation into a mermaid had a smooth journey -
The bottom of the Black Lake is covered with aquatic plants and there are magical animals hidden among them.
However, these animals usually don't bother mermaids... Mermaids, like humans, are viviparous and live in groups.
If you provoke one, you basically provoke the whole bunch.
In comparison, murlocs, which lay eggs and are closer to wild beasts, are much easier to deal with...so there are no such things as murlocs in the Black Lake now.
A water monster, Grindylow, poked its head out from the water plants, as if to see if there was a stupid fish that had lost its mind and bumped into its door, so it could be easily caught and eaten...
Then the thing swooshed back in again—
Some mermaid families would raise Grindylows as guard animals, just like humans raising dogs... except that Grindylows were even more disobedient.
So usually, when wild Grindylows are caught by mermaids, most of them don't end up well.
However, this mermaid was transformed by Carmen and had no interest in catching prey.
The lake was dark and hazy everywhere. There was no beauty, only depression.
There seemed to be a bunch of water plants swaying in the distance, and it seemed...
This sounds weird:
It's like a scary human head with long hair floating in the water.
When Mascorie, who was controlling Carmen, saw this thing, his heart skipped a beat...
This is most likely Anriel’s “Dead Soul Beast”.
......
In fact, Maskori, who faces the dead soul beast through the puppet, has certain advantages in this hunting mode.
But even so, through the layer of Carmen's body, Maskrey could still feel that aura of incomparable terror and despair.
That creature… no, it wasn’t certain whether that thing could be truly considered alive—the aura it emitted made the surrounding lake water seem to turn into a sticky colloid.
When you travel through this colloid, you will feel a sense of blockage and a feeling of suffocation that cannot be avoided even if you take measures.
It's as if you're stuck in a new kind of cement that's slowly solidifying from the cold.
......
Carmen is the first among all the warriors to face something like the Dead Soul Beast.
It is hard to say whether he should be considered lucky or unlucky.
Fortunately, with Maskrey's ability, it is no problem to deal with a dead soul beast, which is equivalent to getting five points for sure.
Unfortunately, it was a relative waste of time - Maskrey was not sure what impact it would have on him if he could not go to the mermaid tribe to meet up with his rescuers while he was hunting the dead soul beast.
Will Krum be besieged by other participating warriors?
This is indeed a problem, because if it were Carmen, she would definitely attack without hesitation when she saw someone alone in the teams of the other two academies...
Wait a moment……
Cedric seems to be alone now?
