Chapter 96: Defense!
His neck quickly turned left and right, and his eyes carefully examined his surroundings. Soon, Coven had a plan in his heart.
"Group Confinement! Group Confinement!"
He pointed his wand at the forest on the left and the forest on the right. Under the influence of the magic spell, many vines quickly shot out from the forest on both sides.
The hundreds of vines seemed to have eyes, automatically moving in the direction of the snakes in the air.
In the end, each vine successfully tied up one Acromantula, making them struggle and roar.
However, because there were only little vines growing around the trees, only about a quarter of the 'Spider Tide' was stopped.
Of course, Coven would not stop them.
He quickly raised his wand high into the air and shouted, "Splash! Splash!"
The tip of the wand seemed to turn into a fountain. A stream of yellow cooking oil suddenly sprayed into the air, and then the spring burst out, covering the big tree around Coven.
These oils were all summoned by Coven from Hogwart's kitchen. However, the situation was urgent, and Coven did not care about the problem of "using it privately."
As the surrounding trees were smeared with oil, the trees immediately became very slippery. Many of the Acromantula who had surrounded them lost control of their legs and fell from the trees.
Coven raised his head and faced the spiders that were smashing at him. He pointed his wand at them and said, "Spider group disperse!"
A magic ray shot into the air and hit the falling spiders, causing their huge figures to fly backward.
However, the effect of the spell was not perfect. In the end, he missed one.
With a bang, Acromantula fell to the ground.
Coven seemed to turn a blind eye to this. Instead, he raised his wand to the back of his right shoulder. Then, he suddenly kicked out. Before Acromantula could react, he kicked him directly into the forest.
Quickly withdrawing his leg, Coven did not check the effect of the kick. However, he estimated that the spider was not in good condition. After all, he was very confident in his own strength.
Next, Coven moved like he was playing golf. He raised his wand behind his shoulder and waved it forward.
As he waved his wand, Coven shouted again, "Earth Spike Emerges!"
The waving wand seemed to cut through the air, making a muffled sound in the air.
Then, the invisible spell landed on the ground in front of Coven.
In the next moment, a sharp, cone-shaped stone spike suddenly shot out from the ground.
The diameter of the ground spike was nearly one meter, and it was almost two and a half meters long. It was at a 45-degree angle, and its shape was very solid.
This was not the end. The first earth spike had just been formed, and two more earth spikes shot up from the left and right sides of the earth spike, followed by even more earth spikes that shot out from the ground in an instant.
In a breath's time, dozens of thorns surrounded a semicircular line, protecting the figures of Coven and Dumbledore in the rear.
And this was just a curse that had just taken effect.
Next, row after row of thorns continuously shot out like waves, finally leaping out of five rows, creating a defensive zone more than ten meters between Coven and the spider tide.
These sharp thorns finally stopped the impact of the spider tide.
However, even so, it could not completely stop Acromantula and Coven's attack. Most of the spiders changed their direction and tried to bypass the Earth Spike's defense by half a circle.
However, Coven originally did not want to rely on these Earth Spikes to escape successfully. He just wanted to buy enough time for himself because the time needed to prepare for the next spell was a little long.
Therefore, Coven looked as if he had already planned it out. He did not observe the defensive effect of the Earth Spike at all. He raised his hand and gently moved the finger holding the wand. Then, he opened his palm completely.
The wand was moved by Coven's finger and spun rapidly in the air. The next moment, Coven suddenly clenched his palm forward.
Coven held the wand in his hand and pointed it down with a light bang.
Then, Coven quickly crouched down, knelt on one knee, and inserted the tip of the wand into the ground. At the same time, he shouted, "The ground is rising!"
Boom!
Bolts of lightning-shaped magic rays quickly spread around with the tip of the wand as the center.
The ground behind them shook and shook violently. After a while, the ground under Coven and Dumbledore's feet suddenly rose up.
A stone cylinder with a diameter of about three meters climbed up step by step. Finally, it lifted Coven and Dumbledore up to nearly ten meters. Only then did the stone cylinder stop.
At this time, Coven still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee. He did not pull the wand out of the ground but slightly closed his eyes.
Focusing all of his attention, Coven tried his best to plan in his mind.
Then, the incantation of the transformation curse was recited by Coven in a deep voice.
The next moment, on the ten-meter tall stone pillar standing on the ground, sharp cones quickly grew out one after another.
The changes continued…. After the cones covered the stone pillars, the entire stone pillar began to split again.
In the end, other than the area at the top where Coven was located, the other parts gradually began to rotate rapidly.
In the end, Coven's' Transfiguration Curse 'turned the entire stone pillar into a death-harvesting area. Those high-speed stone spikes would harvest any life that approached them.
"Phew..." At this point, Coven let out a long breath. He finally opened his eyes, pulled out his wand, and stood up.
Dumbledore had been watching Coven's operation the entire time. Only now did he take a step forward to the edge of the cylinder.
He looked down slightly and glanced at all the defensive measures set up by Coven.
His eyes were full of admiration, and his tone was full of wonder. Dumbledore looked back at Coven. "Amazing... You are simply beyond all my expectations..."
In less than half a minute, Coven released magic spells one after another and set up such a defense. In addition, he was completely focused the entire time. Therefore, when he relaxed at this time, he inevitably felt a little tired.
After listening to Dumbledore's evaluation, Coven shook his head slightly and whispered, "Mr. Headmaster, this is all I can do. Next, unless I slowly kill them all, I have no other way."
"No, it is already perfect." Dumbledore looked a little complicated. He slowly stepped forward, raised his hand, and gently patted Coven on the shoulder.
"I originally wanted to make you realize that you are not so powerful by creating this crisis."
Dumbledore said softly, "I'm worried that you might become complacent and arrogant after defeating Acromantula a few times."
"I'm worried that you will become negligent because of your arrogance in the future. In the future, when you face danger, you will lose your precious life because of it..."
Hearing this, Coven understood Dumbledore's thoughts. No wonder the other side suddenly withdrew the protective spells on the two and caused the spider tide to attack them.
It turned out that this was just to let him face the real crisis. After killing him and killing a few Acromantula easily, he might feel satisfied.
"Thank you." Coven looked up at Dumbledore and looked straight into his eyes that were full of joy. He said, "Thank you for your guidance!" He said, "I will remember it!"
