Chapter 116: St. Mungo's Battle
Chapter 116 The Battle of St. Mungo’s
The last section of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the first grade is about creatures like werewolves, and Kyle is naturally familiar with it.
It looks similar to a wolf, but can walk upright, has a slightly shorter muzzle, has gray fur all over its body, and has sharp hook-shaped nails in front of its paws.
The one in front of me is definitely a werewolf.
But doesn’t this kind of creature only transform when the moon is full?
Then what is this in front of me...a sunlight 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, that is, their brains are chaotic, they have no reason at all, and they will only instinctively attack all creatures in front of them.
This werewolf is naturally no exception.
It stared at Kyle, its eyes full of cruelty and bloodthirsty.
There is no way, who can keep Kyle closest.
The werewolf opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth that were at least two inches long. The turbid saliva slowly flowed down the gaps between the teeth and dripped on the brown-red floor.
…
"Roar!"
At the moment when the werewolf pounced, Kyle recited the spell first.
“Weak!”
ification…‖
The werewolf's movements stagnated, and his body fell to the side uncontrollably.
Thanks to Oren, when he gave the last class, he talked about the characteristics of werewolves in great detail, and all of them were dry information that was not in the books.
According to him, when facing prey, werewolves would mostly choose to attack by jumping, which is the so-called forward pounce.
The soft ground can make them lose their focus, so it is perfect for use here.
Although the werewolf quickly got back on his feet, it was enough for Kyle.
He didn't dare to go back to Hagrid's ward. He wouldn't have enough time, and turning around to open the door would expose his back to the werewolf.
Kyle did not hesitate, quickly took two steps back to distance himself from the werewolf, and at the same time raised the wand in his hand.
The floor in front of them began to bulge upwards, and soon there were rows of stone cones only a few inches high.
These stone cones are not only sharp, but also very strong. Even a thick-skinned werewolf would feel very uncomfortable if he stepped on them.
It tries to go over the wall…
"Snapped!"
At this moment, a ward door was suddenly opened, 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 spotted Kyle not far away.
Hagrid’s face began to turn red quickly.
“You monster, how dare you attack the little wizard!”
He tore down the gate and threw it out like a discus.
“Bang...ow!”
Hagrid’s accuracy was good. The door panel hit the werewolf so hard that it couldn’t help but howl.
Even Kyle took a deep breath subconsciously. He even heard the "click" sound of bones breaking just now.
Although the werewolf was unconscious, its most basic beast instincts were still there. It glanced at Hagrid in horror, then turned and ran away.
Looking at the direction it left, Kyle's pupils shrank and he shouted loudly: "Hagrid, that's the staircase, you can't let it pass!"
"I know."
Hagrid hurriedly chased after him.
But his speed was too slow, and the tight hospital gown was wrapped around his body like a bandage. 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 and tear the clothes on his body.
“Damn it, the people from St. Mungo’s haven’t arrived yet!”
On the other side, Kyle, who was chasing after him, was equally 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 at St. Mungo's that it was impossible to hide it if he was bitten.
But he couldn't help but watch the werewolves rush to the first floor to attack those who were unprepared.
“Fortunately, there is still Hagrid.”
Kyle felt a lot more at ease when he heard the dull footsteps behind him.
When the werewolf came to the stairs of the corridor and began to slow down, he immediately stretched out his wand.
“There are many obstacles!”
“Repulse quickly!”
Two magic 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 his wand with his remaining arm.
The repelling spell just now was cast by him.
“You...what are you doing...”
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly came.
Kyle turned his head suddenly, and at some point, a fat, round-faced boy suddenly appeared at the corner of the stairs.
He was holding a lunch box and looking at them with horror on his face, obviously frightened.
Not only Kyle, the werewolf also noticed the sudden increase in people.
It's dim eyes once again had a fierce light, and it struggled to pounce on the boy.
“Weak!”
The werewolf who had just stood up tilted his body and fell down again.
Kyle waved his wand, turning an iron shelf 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 no longer make any progress.
But Kyle didn’t expect to succeed in the first attempt, so he used another magic spell immediately after throwing the spear.
“Repulse quickly!”
Like a heavy hammer striking a nail, the spear with the repelling spell pierced the werewolf's chest directly, nailing it to the ground.
“Kyle, do a quick flash...uh!”
Hagrid finally arrived. He looked at the werewolf in front of him, and then silently lowered his raised arms.
It seems...that there is no need for him.
"Can you please go find someone from 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 could react.
“Okay…okay…”
He glanced at Kyle with fear, and then ran downstairs quickly.
"I think he might have been frightened." Hagrid said next to him.
Let alone a child, even he was severely frightened just now.
"There's nothing you can do about it." Kyle shrugged and said, "And it's better to be scared than to turn into a werewolf."
At this time, Professor Kettleburn had also put on his prosthetic leg and limped over.
“Sorry kid, I was careless.”
“I would have just added another magic spell at that time.”
Kyle shook his head: "It's not your fault, Professor."
The werewolf had no ability to resist at that time, and it was mainly because he saw the boy that he suddenly went crazy again.
The boy was standing at the corner of the stairs again. Professor Kettleburn could not see him at that time.
