Chapter 1220: Legendary Battle
🕑 Added 2024-08-31 12:37:16 +0000 UTCWas it okay to daydream?
There was no rule saying he couldn’t, and there was no regulation that said he couldn't daydream during a battle.
But if anyone else found out that Evan was zoning out at such a critical moment, they'd definitely kill him...
So, he still had to keep a low profile!
He was fighting the demon, fighting very hard, using his own magic to counter its power.
In fact, Evan just got distracted for a moment before snapping back to reality.
After marveling at the demon-like giant scorpion, he started wondering what to do next?
Should he step up and tell everyone that he'd got the demon under control, so there was no need to worry? Then, say that he was going to destroy the Ruins of Amun Ra, so they should start clearing the area, line up and leave, to avoid any accidental injuries...
If Evan were to say that, there would definitely be no one willing to believe him.
Unless this scorpion could follow him for the rest of his life, he would spend his remaining years chased by countless people, all demanding he hand over the treasure of the Ruins of Amun Ra.
"Honorable guest, what are your orders?" the scorpion asked again.
"Uh, orders? Put your tail down first. Wait, no, stay in that position," Evan quickly changed his mind. Noticing the expressions of the wizards around him, he thought he could let them continue to misunderstand and think that he was fighting the demon.
As long as he was fighting the scorpion, his stance was the same as that of the wizards watching around him.
If they found out that he could control the scorpion, it would be considered betrayal!
Someone would surely suspect that he had gained something inside the Ruins of Amun Ra, enabling him to command the scorpion. This brought him back to what he was worried about.
The treasure — there was no treasure, the entire Ruins of Amun Ra was just a prison, a cage, but others didn't know that.
Ever since he returned to this timeline, Evan had been pondering how to solve this problem...
Secretly glancing at the frightened and nervous expressions of the wizards around him, he thought this idea might work.
Let them see him battle the scorpion, and then be carried out unconscious, giving him time to destroy the Ruins of Amun Ra and slip away. That would perfectly solve all the problems, but there was an issue — it wasn't low-key at all!
A fourth-year student from Hogwarts fighting against an ancient demon from the time of Ramses II and successfully saving thousands of wizards … that was simply heaven-defying. Could Voldemort or Dumbledore even do that?
Maybe … after all, many people thought they were invincible...
But apart from a select few wizards, perhaps only Evan could do this, and under the watchful eyes of so many people.
"Ahhh, that's really not low-key!"
"Honorable guest, what did you just say?" the demon asked, confused.
"Nothing, can you get those people out of the ruins?"
"You mean kill everyone? That's no problem. I can kill all intruders in an instant."
“No, not kill — just transport them out intact. Like a Portkey … um … space magic, do you understand?" said Evan.
The thoughts of this demon were very dangerous, constantly considering killing everyone.
“No problem, I can do that, honorable guest,” said the scorpion, shaking its body slightly. “I can control all the magic within this cage, including the magic that can send them out."
Its movement made the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly tense.
Those few cowardly wizards who were holding their breath were trying to sneak a breath but immediately held it in again halfway through.
And then, as if led by someone, people began to kneel down and pray to Evan...
"By the way, can you make them lose their memories of this?"
“That’s impossible. All mental spells are forbidden in the cage. The master feared that the prisoners might seize the opportunity to contact the outside world."
“Hmm, how about making them unconscious? Just knock them out; I don’t want these people to see what I’m about to do next,” Evan thought for a moment and said. “You understand what I mean, right? Or if you have another similar method; that would work too."
“That should not be a problem!” the scorpion replied, puzzled as to why Evan kept asking such weird questions.
In its mind, it would be much simpler to just kill all the intruders — no need for such complications.
Besides, it needed blood, and it hadn’t tasted blood in thousands of years!
“Very well, let’s do it that way. First, pretend to fight with me, and then, as we discussed earlier, find an opportunity to send them out,” said Evan. “I’ll go into the prison and finish the task your master entrusted to me."
"As you wish, honorable guest."
In the rain of blood, the wizards, drenched and on the verge of fainting from tension, suddenly saw Evan and the scorpion begin to move.
Evan stepped back, his wand waving, summoning a dozen stone giants to charge at the scorpion.
The scorpion smashed the transformed creatures to pieces one by one, while Evan continued to retreat, using magic as he went.
The long-awaited battle suddenly invigorated the wizards; the earlier calm had been unbearable!
That wasn’t the kind of battle they were familiar with, but this intense fighting scene was something they recognized.
The wizards shouted, raised their wands and took a few steps forward, ready to help Evan, but then hurriedly stepped back.
The scene was too overwhelming to approach.
In the center of the room, the giant scorpion waved its two terrifying pincers and attacked Evan frantically.
Compared to it, Evan's small frame seemed so fragile, but he wasn’t at a disadvantage. He summoned his magic shield again to counter the demon’s pincers, each clash producing a heart-wrenching sound.
The scorpion's tail, swinging repeatedly at Evan, was slow enough for him to dodge each time.
But when it struck the ground, it left a deep pit.
The enormous force caused the entire space to shake violently.
Although it couldn't harm Evan, any other wizards who joined the battle would be killed almost instantly by the scorpion.
It wasn’t until hundreds of wizards had died or been injured that they realized the problem — they were too weak!
Facing such a monster, even attacking from a distance was extremely dangerous.
The violent shaking also forced them to retreat. Countless fragments of stone and dust fell from the air, obscuring their vision.
In the haze, they saw Evan swiftly waving his wand, casting various spells at the giant scorpion almost without stopping.
With the scorpion demon as the center, blood-red circles appeared on the ground and expanded rapidly.
It looked like a water stain caused by accumulated blood rain, and an unlucky wizard accidentally stepped on it because he was too close to the front.
With a horrifying howl, his body decayed bit by bit...
Seeing this horrifying scene, the remaining wizards all huddled against the walls, not daring to move.
Fight?
They decided to leave it to Evan; this place was far too dangerous for them!
All they could see was the center of the room. In the thick dust, countless magical lights flashed and there were occasional collision sounds.
The wizards watched the battle between Evan and the demon in terror. Although they couldn't see it clearly, the momentum could not be faked.
It was also because of this that they were left with enough room for imagination.
Now, every wizard was in awe of Evan, wondering just how powerful this young man was to be able to fight a demon like that!
If they had not seen it with their own eyes and felt it personally, it would have been beyond their imagination and like a fairy tale.
This was a truly top-notch battle, a legendary fight worthy of being recorded in history.
So strong, unbelievably strong!
If Voldemort or Dumbledore were here, they would probably be at this level...
