Chapter 44 Protect the Captain and ask for double monthly votes!
[Congratulations to Draco Malfoy from Slytherin for delivering the final blow and successfully killing Ernie McMillan from Hufflepuff!]
A cold, icy female voice echoed through the misty valley, stirring ripples in the eerie, drifting fog.
After repeating this three times, the female voice finally disappeared completely. The voice acted like a mute button, silencing the discussions on the viewing platform and leaving the participating athletes in their respective sports stunned!
"Oh, I forgot to mention—"
Professor Delphinor said with a smile to the young wizard,
"When a contestant kills another contestant during a match, their achievement will be announced over the loudspeaker...making their name resound throughout the sky. How about that? Pretty cool, right?"
Unbeknownst to them, a touch of heat seeped into the cold, silent space.
Harry's glaring eyes at Professor Delfino's emerald green eyes also became slightly bloodshot!
This is more than just "very handsome"...
This is just... [so cool]!
Damn!
Why didn't I muster the courage to participate in the competition just now?!
Harry was being stubborn with himself.
Riding a flying broom doesn't seem too difficult—he hesitated for a moment, but ended up letting that annoying Malfoy steal the show!
"Malfoy killed Ernie?! How is that possible?!"
Compared to Harry, who was envious in the stands, Ron felt only pure shock.
Malfoy... indeed, he had just abandoned Sabine and Nott, fleeing alone along the bottom lane towards the Academy team's respawn point.
Ron knew Malfoy would soon run into Neville and Ernie, but he wasn't too worried... Susan and Terry weren't too concerned either—after all, there were two of them at the respawn point!
But how could Malfoy have killed Ernie in the blink of an eye?!
"etc!"
Susan of Hufflepuff suddenly realized what was happening. She immediately raised her flying broom, avoiding Sabini and Nott's gaze, and looked towards her own respawn point. Just one glance sent a chill down her spine!
She puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at the Slytherin duo.
"There are many blue cloaks... I see, the Slytherins have surrounded Neville!"
Ron and Terry immediately raised their brooms and saw what Susan had seen... At the same time, they understood why Sabine and Nott had stayed there to monitor them!
"You're trying to stop us from going home to rescue our team leader, aren't you?"
Terry glared angrily at the two Slytherins who were grinning mischievously.
"idiot!"
Nott said with a cold laugh.
"It's too late to realize this now!"
Brex Sabine looked at them with the same disdain.
"mean!"
Terry shouted,
"You won't succeed... Mandy, how much longer until you deal with that boar monster!"
In fact, while the two groups were facing off, Mandy was trying to find a way to put the dwarf pig monster under the silver-green triangular flag.
But that's obviously not easy, is it?
That was a huge, energetic, and agile wild boar, not a stationary target that would stand still and wait for Mandy's tripping spell!
Of course, what's even more fatal is Mandy herself.
Although she had successfully used the spell in previous lessons, she wasn't very proficient at it.
The low success rate of spells cast while suspended in mid-air, coupled with the piglet's agility and the Slytherin duo's verbal attacks and occasional red light interference...
The quiet little girl's bangs were soaked with sweat from her anxiety. She unconsciously lowered her flight altitude, trying to get closer to the short, white boar monster with two slightly curled tusks. Ignoring the aching in her wrists, she repeatedly swung her wand.
"Almost there—almost there! Buy me some more time!"
"Ernie has been killed!"
Meanwhile, the Petit sisters, after much tossing and turning, finally arrived at the Slytherin party's respawn point...
They could see it from a distance; the open field was deserted, with no blue cloaks in sight, nor the captain's crown... but they still gritted their teeth and flew over.
When the songs praising Malfoy's achievements echoed through Fogdalene, the sisters' hearts, which had been hanging in suspense for so long, finally died.
"I see!"
As Ravenclaw students, Padma Petit, the younger of the sisters, turned deathly pale.
"Parkinson, Greengrass, and Blaitch...the three of them took the bottom route like us...the remaining five Slytherins, I guess they might have split into one or two groups and gone to our respawn point through the other two routes...they surrounded Neville and Ernie!"
"The cunning Slytherin!"
Parvati, who had just landed on the ground, angrily kicked at the weeds to vent his anger.
"What should we do now, Petit?"
Padma looked at her sister, panting.
"Let's fly back!"
After a brief outburst, a resolute glint flashed in Petil's eyes.
"Malfoy killed Ernie, we're going to settle the score with him!"
"But it will take at least three minutes to fly back now... Longbottom?"
"We should at least do something about it!"
Petit said 'hatefully'.
Petit hesitated for a moment when deciding which road to take back.
The two sisters just came from the middle... If Neville manages to escape the encirclement... and by sheer luck escape Slytherin's encirclement, then someone must come to his aid.
Ron and his friends were dealing with the Hog Rider in the bottom lane... so—
"Let's set off back, Padma!"
Pettier said that he rode a flying broomstick and rushed down the straight, gentle slope toward the suspension bridge.
[Congratulations to Draco Malfoy from Slytherin for delivering the final blow and successfully killing Ernie McMillan from Hufflepuff!]
At the respawn point of the academy team, Malfoy pricked up his ears, listening again and again to the triumphant reports echoing through the misty valley, his pale cheeks gradually turning red.
It was... Draco Malfoy's final blow that killed Ernie McMillan!
Everyone heard it, everyone knows this fact!
Malfoy, breathing heavily, his face flushed, faced Neville and Ernie... the latter had already been killed. The red cloak behind him suddenly extended, completely enveloping Ernie, and from a distance, it looked like a silkworm cocoon emitting blue light.
This is the petrified state after being killed. According to the professor's rules, Ernie will be unable to move for 30 seconds...
However, since Ernie was already at his own respawn point when he was killed, he wouldn't be teleported to any other location.
And Nave...
Malfoy came from the bottom lane and blocked his way. Pansy, Daphne, and Moen approached from the middle lane, turning towards the canyon. Goyle and Milison flew in from the top lane suspension bridge and were on a straight hillside, grinning as they stared at Longbottom, whose every cell in his body was trembling!
Ruined!
Neville looked desperate.
He knows himself very well. He wouldn't be a match for anyone else in this competition in a one-on-one fight, let alone now that he's facing six opponents alone.
There was absolutely no hope of survival.
Neville had already lowered his specially made wand, closed his eyes, and resigned himself to fate.
"Don't move!"
But suddenly, Malfoy, panting heavily, roared, his face flushed.
"Don't move... Let me go one-on-one with Longbottom... Longbottom is mine, I'm going to deliver the final blow, I'm going to let everyone hear me kill Longbottom and win the match!"
