Chapter 116: The Battle of St. Mungo's
The last Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the first grade was about the werewolf, so Kyle was no stranger to it.
It looked like a wolf, but could walk upright, had a slightly shorter snout, was covered in gray fur, and had sharp hooked nails on its paws.
The one in front of him was definitely a werewolf.
But wouldn't this creature only transform when the moon was full?
Then what was this one in front of him... a daylight werewolf?
Kyle had no time to think at this time. He quickly raised his arm and the wand slipped from his sleeve into his hand.
All descriptions of werewolves have the same thing in common, that is, their brains are confused, they have no reason at all, and they will only attack everything in front of them instinctively.
This werewolf was no exception.
It stared at Kyle, its eyes full of cruelty and bloodthirstiness.
There was no way, because Kyle was the closest.
The werewolf opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth at least two inches long, and turbid saliva slowly flowed down the gaps between its teeth and dripped onto the brown-red floor.
"Pah..."
"Roar!"
At the moment when the werewolf pounced, Kyle recited the spell first.
"Weak!"
"Boom..."
The werewolf's movement froze, and his body fell to the side uncontrollably.
Thanks to Oren, he explained the characteristics of werewolves in great detail during the last class, and all of them were dry goods that were not in the books.
According to him, werewolves mostly choose to jump and attack when facing prey, which is the so-called forward pounce.
The soft ground can make them lose their fulcrum, which is perfect for this purpose.
Although the werewolf stood up again quickly, it was enough for Kyle.
He didn't dare to go back to Hagrid's ward, because he didn't have time, and turning around to open the door would expose his back to the werewolf.
Kyle didn't hesitate, and quickly stepped back two steps to distance himself from the werewolf, while raising the wand in his hand.
The floor in front of him began to bulge upwards, and soon formed rows of stone cones only a few inches high.
These stone spikes are not only sharp, but also very strong. Even a thick-skinned werewolf would feel very uncomfortable when stepping on them.
It tried to pass through the wall...
"Snap!"
At this time, a ward door was suddenly pulled open, and Hagrid's huge body appeared in the corridor.
He rushed out as soon as he heard the noise outside.
After seeing the werewolf, Hagrid was also stunned for a moment, but soon he found Kyle not far away.
Hagrid's face began to turn red quickly.
"How dare you attack the little wizard, you monster!"
He pulled down the door and threw it out like a discus.
"Bang... Ouch!"
Hagrid's aim was still good. The door panel hit the werewolf heavily, and it couldn't help but let out a wail in pain.
Even Kyle subconsciously took a breath of cold air. He even heard the "crack" sound when the bones broke.
Although the werewolf was unconscious, the most basic beast instinct was still there. It looked at Hagrid in horror, then turned and ran.
Looking at the direction it left, Kyle's pupils shrank and he shouted loudly: "Hagrid, there are stairs there, don't let it pass!"
"I know."
Hagrid hurriedly chased after it.
But his speed was too slow. The tight hospital gown was wrapped around his body like a bandage, and he couldn't run at all, let alone catch up with a werewolf.
Even Kyle easily surpassed him.
"Kyle, come back!"
Hagrid could only run while tearing his clothes.
"Damn it, haven't the people from St. Mungo's arrived yet!"
On the other side, Kyle, who chased out, was also worried. That was a werewolf. If he was bitten... he could basically say goodbye to Hogwarts.
Unlike Lupin's situation, there were so many people in St. Mungo's. If he was bitten, it would be impossible to hide it.
But he couldn't just watch the werewolf rush to the first floor to attack those unprepared people.
"Fortunately, there is Hagrid."
Kyle listened to the dull footsteps behind him, and felt much more at ease.
When the werewolf came to the corridor stairs and began to slow down, he immediately stretched out his wand.
"Many obstacles!"
"Quickly repel!"
The two spells hit the werewolf one after another. It paused for a moment, and then slammed into the wall behind it.
Kyle looked back.
Professor Kettleburn was lying on his side in the corridor, holding the wand with his only remaining arm.
He was the one who cast the repulsive spell just now.
"You... what are you doing..."
At this time, a childish voice suddenly came.
Kyle turned his head suddenly, and he didn't know when a fat round-faced boy suddenly appeared at the corner of the stairs.
He was holding a lunch box and looked at them with horror, obviously frightened.
Not only Kyle, but the werewolf also noticed the sudden appearance of people.
A fierce light flashed in its dim eyes again, and it struggled to pounce on the boy.
"Weak and powerless!"
The werewolf who had just stood up tilted his body and fell down again.
Kyle waved his wand and turned an iron frame in the corridor into a sharp spear, and threw it at the werewolf with all his strength.
The spear only slightly pierced the werewolf's skin and could not go any further.
However, Kyle didn't expect to succeed at once, so he immediately used another spell after throwing the spear.
"Quick Repel!"
Like a heavy hammer hitting a nail, the spear with the Repel spell directly pierced through the werewolf's chest and nailed it to the ground.
"Kyle, you hurry up... eh!"
Hagrid finally arrived. He looked at the werewolf in front of him, and then silently put down his raised arms.
It seems... he is no longer needed.
"Can you please go find someone in the hospital?" Kyle looked at the little boy and said, "Tell them that there is an out-of-control werewolf on the second floor."
The boy seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of him. Kyle shouted twice before he reacted.
"Okay... okay..."
He looked at Kyle in fear, and then ran downstairs quickly.
"I think he might be scared." Hagrid next to him said.
Not to mention a child, even he was scared just now.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Kyle shrugged and said, "Besides, being scared is better than turning into a werewolf."
At this time, Professor Kettleburn had already put on his prosthetic limbs and limped over.
"Sorry, kid, I was careless."
"I should have added another spell at the time."
Kyle shook his head: "It's not your fault, professor."
The werewolf had no ability to resist at the time, and it was mainly because he suddenly went crazy again because he saw the boy.
And the boy was standing at the corner of the stairs, and Professor Kettleburn couldn't see him at all from his position at the time.
