Chapter 545: Horse-Shaped Water Monster Knight
"We have lost more than a dozen warriors since we found it."
The mermaid leader said with a heavy face, "If you can help us get rid of this monster, you will also become a friend of our tribe."
"No problem, leave it to me." Kyle said, and swam towards the horse-shaped water monster.
Under the continuous attack of the mermaids, the horse-shaped water monster was indeed going crazy. It shook its body vigorously and tried to transform into other forms to break free from the ropes on its body.
The horse-shaped water monster is like the Metamorphmagus in Fantastic Beasts, which can transform itself into various different forms.
But the mermaids seemed to have suffered losses in this regard, and they could always make up a new rope the moment it transformed.
Kyle originally wanted to try to make the horse-shaped water monster relax a little, but it couldn't listen to anything at this time. When it saw Kyle, it immediately opened its mouth and bit him.
Kyle didn't find this situation strange, and he had several solutions.
But that all takes time. Now the deadline of one hour is getting closer and closer, and he doesn't want to waste too much time here.
So, Kyle chose the simplest and most brutal one.
He stretched out his wand, and a small golden-red fish made of flames emerged from the tip of the wand.
In an instant, the originally cold lake water began to heat up rapidly, and the mermaids screamed and ran away.
Then Kyle waved his wand again, and the small fish made of flames disappeared.
Kyle has mastered the Fiery Curse very well now, because he is also in the Black Lake at this time. In order not to be affected, he also deliberately controlled the Fiery Curse to the minimum.
But even so, the effect is very obvious.
First of all, the cold lake water has become much warmer, like soaking in a hot spring.
In addition, the horse-shaped water monster also quieted down. It stood there motionlessly, and the look in its eyes when looking at Kyle was no longer a little crazy, but clear and bright.
"It would have been better if I had done this earlier." Kyle swam to the side of the water monster and whispered, "Don't get excited, I'm here to save you... Come with me, those mermaids won't attack you anymore."
He untied the rope wrapped around the water monster and turned over to sit on its back.
During this period, the water monster was very quiet.
Kyle naturally grabbed the broad-leaved cattail on its body and pointed to the front.
"Go this way, better hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
After feeling that the rope that bound him was gone, the water monster looked back at the mermaid coming here, raised his head and neighed, and then jumped out directly.
Compared to Kyle's own swimming, the speed of the water monster was several levels faster...Kyle felt like he was riding a flying broom under the water, and the bubbles on his head were deformed by the water flow.
Whether it was Grindylo or any other creature, they were all left far behind. What Kyle had to do was to hold on to the water monster tightly to avoid being thrown off.
It took less than five minutes before Kyle heard a faint singing voice.
"An hour is almost up...
How long are you going to delay...
Come and take back the treasure we took away."
Kyle patted the horse-shaped water monster and swam in the direction of the sound.
After a while, he came to the middle of the Black Lake, next to a rock pillar with a mermaid pattern painted on it.
This seemed to be a mermaid tribe, because there were some stone dwellings like houses around the rock pillars.
Some of the dwellings had gardens, and some had a small Grindylow tied in front of the door.
After seeing Kyle, the mermaids excitedly rushed from all directions, slapping the lake water with their thick and powerful silver fish tails, as if they wanted to give Kyle a warning.
Then... they saw the horse-shaped water monster under Kyle.
The originally melodious singing instantly turned into a piercing scream, and the mermaids who were close to them scattered, screaming and trying to get their weapons.
"Why is this monster back again..."
"Run, the leader was eaten by it..."
"Get weapons, get weapons..."
The surroundings were in chaos. Obviously, as creatures in the water, the mermaids had a natural fear of the horse-shaped water monster.
But this was convenient for Kyle. He did not explain anything, but came to a stone statue of a mermaid carved out of stone.
Three people were tied tightly to the tail of the mermaid statue.
I didn't know the one on the far left, but judging from the clothes he was wearing, he should be from Durmstrang.
Karkaroff had not been to the castle for a while recently, and other people including Krum rarely appeared. Kyle really had no impression of him for a while.
In the middle was an eight-year-old girl, Gabriel, Fleur's sister.
On the far right was Connor, who had not appeared since Professor McGonagall called her away last night.
The three of them looked very deep in sleep, their heads weakly pulled on their shoulders, and a series of bubbles kept coming out of their mouths.
They were tied to the statue by three large round locks, which were interlaced. Only when all the locks were opened could they escape from the statue.
Kyle didn't have the key, but he had the wand, which was enough.
He stretched out his hand holding the wand, and the water horse under him suddenly shook a few times uncomfortably... It seemed to recognize the wand and wanted to escape.
Kyle quickly comforted him: "Don't worry... It's okay..."
Although the water horse was still a little uneasy, it was much calmer.
Kyle raised his hand again.
"The God's Sharpness is Shadowless."
It was as if an invisible wind cut through the lake water, and then passed through the three round locks, cutting them all in half.
Kyle carried Kanna to the sea monster, and used the same method to save Gabrielle.
Well, that's it...
Kyle looked behind him and saw a large group of mermaids rushing over with spears, and then patted the sea monster's neck.
...
Everyone in the stands on the shore of the Black Lake was complaining in a low voice.
An hour ago, they were still happy, thinking they could see a wonderful game, but they ended up blowing the cold wind by the Black Lake for an hour and saw nothing.
"Who on earth came up with this second project..." Fred pulled the thread on the flag boredly, muttering quietly: "There's the Forbidden Forest and the bottom of the lake, and there's nothing to see here."
"Can't Headmaster Dumbledore dismantle the ceiling of the auditorium and move it here?"
George couldn't help but say: "That ceiling is enchanted and can show the weather outside. I think it can also show the situation in the Black Lake, right?"
"Who said it wasn't? The headmaster is so stingy." Fred sighed, "I really want to know how Kyle is doing now."
"It should be soon." Cedric looked at the time, "It's only a few minutes to an hour. I believe in Kyle. He will definitely be able to complete the project within an hour."
"I believe it too, but everything..."
George stopped talking halfway through his words. He rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction of the lake in disbelief.
Merlin, he seemed to see a horse rushing out of the Black Lake, but this is the Black Lake, not the venue outside the Forbidden Forest...
What's even more bizarre is that Kyle was sitting on the horse's back, like a majestic knight, and jumped onto the lake.
This... George felt that his brain was a little insufficient, but he still clapped with the people around him reflexively.
"That's a water monster!" Cedric shouted beside him: "They are as fast as flying brooms in the water. I didn't expect that there would be such a magical animal in the Black Lake."
The stands were full of noise, and people stood up and shouted. The referees were also clapping. Although it was not known whether one of them was sincere, at least he clapped.
On the other side, as soon as Kyle left the lake, the unconscious Connor woke up and blinked a few times in the bright sunlight.
"I knew you could do it." She looked at Kyle and said.
"I admit that you have a good eye." Kyle said with a smile, "and we are the first to come out."
Kanna also smiled, but soon she thought of something and asked hurriedly: "Where is Fleur? Has Gabrielle been rescued? She is still so young, the professors really shouldn't have arranged for her to go to the lake."
"I don't know where Fleur is, but Gabrielle is fine..." Kyle turned sideways and let Kanna see Gabrielle lying on the horse's back.
The little girl also woke up. She spit out a large mouthful of lake water and looked around blankly. Obviously, she didn't understand what happened.
At this time, Kanna also found something wrong. She seemed to be sitting on a large group of moving water plants.
"What is this?"
"The horse-shaped water monster I rescued in the Black Lake." Kyle explained: "In return, it is willing to give us a ride."
