Chapter 246 Harry: This Is the Real Magic Battle!

For a moment, the ground covered with fallen leaves was full of chewing sounds. The dead spiders were eaten by their fellow spiders before they cooled down.

While the spiders were enjoying the feast with the corpses of their own kind as the main dish, Daphne and the other two also arrived at the spider's nest under Harry's guidance and witnessed everything with their own eyes.

The three of them showed a very obvious look of disgust on their faces.

"How could there be such a thing in the Forbidden Forest?"

"I don't know, but it looks like they have been breeding here for a long time." Astoria speculated based on the area of ​​the depression.

"Look!" Daphne interrupted the two people's chat and motioned them to look at the "feast".

A wisp of black smoke floated from the spider's body and stuck to another sturdy eight-eyed giant spider. The giant spider trembled a few times, and a hideous human face appeared on its back.

The spiders were scrambling to grab food, unaware of the changes in their companions - perhaps they were enjoying it, because spiders possessed in this way would die in a very short time and become everyone's meal.

"Is this what Harry called 'evil'? It does look problematic." Hermione frowned.

If Hermione was still skeptical about what Harry said before seeing what was happening, she completely believed what Harry said after seeing the black mist.

What else could be more evil than this?

"Just destroy that thing, right?" Daphne's hand under her robe grasped her wand.

"Maybe it's feasible, it's worth a try." Astoria supported her sister's idea.

Daphne no longer had any scruples, and raised her hand to cast an amazingly powerful attack spell, hitting the belly of the possessed spider. The spider's abdominal cavity exploded like a watermelon, and such a fatal injury killed it on the spot. A cloud of black mist floated over the remains of the spider, and flew towards the large web in the center of the depression at a very fast speed.

Apparently, Daphne's spell did not really hurt the monster, but only killed the spider it possessed.

"We need to enter the nest and find the body of the black mist!" Astoria found a way to deal with it based on the characteristics of the black mist.

"Don't worry about the black mist, just focus on the present!" Hermione's anxious voice came from the side.

Daphne's spell was like an ice cube thrown into a frying pan, making the entire depression boil. Hundreds of spiders moved their claws and rushed towards the source of the spell.

Standing on the edge of the depression and looking down, the spiders below were like a wave.

"Should we retreat first?" After estimating the number of spiders, Astoria felt that things were a bit tricky. She thought they could use the Disillusionment Charm to hide their bodies first, and then make long-term plans after running out.

"Do it!" Daphne rejected Astoria's proposal. She didn't think the Disillusionment Charm could hide from these spiders. The Disillusionment Charm is an optical invisibility charm. It can't eliminate the heat and smell of a person, nor can it hide the vibrations generated by a person's activities. Just using the Disillusionment Charm is no different from standing there in front of these spiders.

Seeing that her sister was determined to fight, Astoria no longer considered anything else and cast an Armor Charm in front of the three of them, making a translucent shield appear in front of them. Daphne used attack spells to blow the spiders close to them into pieces.

At this time, Hermione, who was standing behind the two, reacted. Her combat experience was so scarce that she didn't realize that the two companions around her were going to fight with the spiders at first.

When the fight was in full swing, she pulled out her wand as if she had just woken up from a dream, and secretly blamed herself: Hermione Granger, what are you doing? Don't hold everyone back!

"There are many obstacles!"

"Thunder Explosion!"

A series of spells were fired from the tip of Hermione's wand like a string of cannonballs, falling like raindrops into the "sea" of spiders. Some spiders were knocked over by her, and some were fixed in place by her spells, drowned by the spiders crawling behind them, but these spells seemed to have never been released in front of the huge base of the spider group.

In just a few seconds, several spiders the size of carriages had crawled to the edge of the depression, no more than ten feet away from the three people. Daphne and the others could clearly see the black hairs on their long legs and those shiny black eyes.

Boom!

Daphne triggered the spell stored in her necklace, and instantly opened up a path in the sea of ​​spiders. All the eight-eyed giant spiders on the straight path of the spell turned into pieces.

The spider group was stagnant.

Harry, who was overlooking the situation from the sky, had the most direct feeling. He saw with his own eyes that a gray-white passage was opened up in the dark sea of ​​spiders. He was shocked by the power of this spell: It turned out that this was a real magic battle! Compared with this scene on the ground, the activities organized by the duel club were simply playing house.

But this trick can only be used a limited number of times. If Daphne and the others can only use this method, then defeat is a matter of time. Daphne was clearly aware of this, and she knew that she had to find a more efficient spell to deal with the eight-eyed giant spider.

At this time, the fallen leaves wrapped with spider webs in the depression attracted her attention, and a bold idea came to her mind.

"It's not enough to just use these spells, let's light a fire!" Daphne tried her new idea while the spiders were shocked.

Under her urging, Nightmare began to run around the edge of the depression. Wherever Nightmare went, all the dead branches and leaves and the spider webs mixed in them burned, and soon a half circle of fire was lit around the depression.

A touch of joy flashed across Daphne's face: as she expected, these spider webs are afraid of fire!

"Let's 'drive' the fire down, and burn this spider nest to ashes!" Daphne's pupils reflected the color of the flames, and she made an almost crazy decision.

When she thought of the depression in front of her turned into a sea of ​​fire, and thousands of spiders struggling in it, even Astoria couldn't help but shudder.

Perhaps feeling the threat of the flames, the spiders began to stir again. They organized a second wave of spiders, intending to forcibly suppress the fire on the edge of the depression.

Daphne and the others would naturally not let the spiders do what they wanted, and the two sides started a tug of war again.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the fire on the edge of the depression became stronger and stronger. Originally, there were only a few scattered fire points, but they gradually connected into a line, and then there was a wall of fire.

"I have a spell to blow it down, let me do it next." Hermione looked pale, but still made the final decision - the monster hiding in the spider nest must be eliminated.

At this time, the spiders' offensive stagnated again, and each eight-eyed giant spider began to make a strange sound. Listening carefully, they seemed to be shouting a name.

[Aragog! ]

[Aragog! ]

[Aragog! ]

The voice calling Aragog resounded throughout the depression.
