If someone observes here without the restriction of vision, he will see a wonderful sight.
In the black mist that is as dark as ink and constantly surging, there are three spheres that tenaciously bloom with pure white light, whirling back and forth in an irregular manner within a certain range.
Protected by these three spheres, the young man with a somewhat long face in the middle was holding a "wooden stick" that looked like a small lance and pointed at the surrounding fog, and was walking slowly.
"[Hiss——]" A voice like a poisonous snake spitting a message in the black mist sounded: "[If you had abandoned them and escaped before, you might have had a chance, but now, even you can't escape, hiss."
.】"
"I see," Sherlock responded calmly: "You can improve your strength over time. When I first encountered you, you couldn't even effectively trap me."
"[If you know——]" "——But."
As the voice spoke, Sherlock interrupted it:
"There is a limit to your 'strength improvement'. If my guess is correct, the strength should be the same as the 'Hogwarts building' itself."
"[...]" The voice fell silent.
"My basic inference about 'the most dangerous place is the safest' is not wrong, but I made a mistake in judging the 'upper limit' of your strength." Sherlock continued: "In such a half-way close to the 'Rainbow Bridge Ruins'
In the abandoned facility, your strength should be kept at a relatively low level to avoid being discovered, but 'Hogwarts' itself passively provides you with shelter - who would have thought that this college itself is a '
What about "magic creations"? As long as the magic you use does not exceed the content in the wall or ceiling, it will not appear abnormal to the outside world. Even if a battle occurs, it will be regarded as a student exploring a secret passage, and naturally it will not attract the attention of the principal and professor.
.”
"[Hiss... you are right, but,]" the voice spoke again: "[After I kill you and take away the time stone, it doesn't matter even if I attract their attention.]"
"It seems that you can't guarantee that you can easily defeat me after using your 'strength that will attract attention'," Sherlock's lips curled up: "It's because my 'No. 1 grade in Bader College' results have made you feel pressured."
?"
"[Hiss! Arrogant boy!]"
Perhaps angered by Sherlock, the speed of the black mist suddenly accelerated. The next moment, three "giant pythons" with no biological details and simply composed of surging darkness suddenly jumped out from the surrounding mist.
The big mouth bit down on Sherlock.
"There are many obstacles! They are all petrified! They are torn apart!"
Almost at the same time, following the spell from Sherlock's mouth, the three white light balls suddenly bloomed. The three snake heads that were illuminated instantly became sluggish, then turned into stone statues, and finally shattered into dust in the wind.
call……
After the three white light balls bloomed, the remaining light spots reunited into a smaller light ball, surrounding Sherlock.
"Well," Sherlock glanced at the unconscious classmate at his feet: "If they had deduced earlier that you were not a living creature, they wouldn't have used such tricks as 'fainting' or 'beating your front teeth with a stick' on you.
The magic spell that is effective on living creatures will probably be rebounded."
"[Now, you have no available magic power!]"
The black mist rolled violently again, and gathered a new huge snake head. This time, it did not bite Sherlock, but opened a pair of ferocious upright children with earthy yellow dull light, and looked directly at Xia Lock like a real person.
Locke.
"Armor for protection!" Sherlock waved his wand, and the surrounding white ball of light turned into a translucent armor and enveloped his entire body.
But the next moment, the "armor" illuminated by the dull yellow light began to turn white and petrified, and finally turned into a pair of stone armor, tightly binding Sherlock inside. However, that seemed to be no longer necessary.
When Locke was hit by the giant snake's gaze, he kept his original posture and froze in place. On the contrary, the stone armor kept him from falling to the ground.
"[Hiss... the magic rebounded? It's a good guess, but unfortunately it's not accurate. It's actually 'soul freezing',]"
With the sound of a conspiracy succeeding, the black mist and the giant snake made of it slowly dispersed, revealing the original appearance of the planetarium, as well as a figure originally hidden in the mist - that was "Peter Quill"
", is famous throughout the school for his very powerful ear-filling behavior with magical sounds.
However, at this moment, he was not playing his Walkman or dance music. His eyes were distracted and his movements were mechanical. He approached the "frozen" Sherlock step by step, but his speech was relatively smooth and logical:
"[Now, let me see, where did you hide the 'Time Stone'?... Hiss, hiss.]"
As he approached, the "petrified" "armor protection" shattered and disappeared, but after Quill searched Sherlock for a while, he could not find his target at all.
"[Hiss - This is impossible. How come you don't bring your biggest trump card when you go to a dangerous place?]" Quill, or the unknown being who controls Quill, was a little angry: "[In order to prevent him from activating the 'Time Stone' and escaping."
, I didn’t use ‘Soul Freeze’ until I was sure everything was safe, hiss!]”
"Then have you ever thought that the 'Time Stone' might have been activated a long time ago?"
"【Varied--】"
Quill turned around stiffly and saw that at the entrance to the planetarium, which was revealed as the black fog completely dissipated, there stood Sherlock, who was supposed to be "frozen", and a white-haired golden boy, a young man wearing a brown jacket and white trousers.
, he wore a monocle on his face, stretched out one hand, and pointed here with a delicate wand.
"[Hiss... James Moriarty!]"
"Expelliarmus! Lock the throat! Hang the golden clock upside down!" Moriarty waved a few magic spells and hung Quill upside down on the pillar of the planetarium: "Oh, I have wanted to do this for a long time. What, you want to stop it?
Me? A top student?"
"No," the second Sherlock spread his hands: "It seems that 'I who made another choice' failed to handle this matter, so I can only admit that he was wrong."
"This is 'Hogwarts'. It cannot breed darkness and evil on its own. Stupid cats from outside must rely on you to open secret passages and secret rooms. It seems that the answer is already obvious," Moriarty said.
He raised his eyebrows with an arrogant look: "It can only be that a certain student was bewitched by darkness and evil while away from school, and then brought it into the secret room, just like Quentin Baker last year. You can't even think of such a thing.
? Maybe I think too highly of you."
"What if I say, I thought of it?" Sherlock scratched his hair.
"..." Moriarty was silent for two seconds, with an angry expression on his face: "Did you go to me thinking that I would be bewitched by such a thing? Sherlock Holmes!"
"Well, after all, you have a 'criminal record', don't you?" Sherlock turned his head and didn't look at him.
"You guy-"
"[How dare you——!]"
A huge roar came from Quill, who had been "silenced". The next moment, a thick black mist began to pour out violently from the boy who was hung upside down, and condensed into a ferocious thick line in mid-air.
The black snake opened its big mouth and rushed towards the two teenagers who were still bickering.
"Fainted to the ground!" "Torn into pieces!"
Sherlock and Moriarty counterattacked with magic spells at the same time, but they had no effect on the giant snake, as if it no longer suppressed its own strength and just wanted to kill these two tiny humans who humiliated it in front of its face.
"You'd better have a trump card! Sherlock!"
"Of course!"
"Then take it out quickly!"
"call……"
Sherlock pointed his wand at the oncoming snake and took a deep breath:
"[Rhongomyniad (Rhongomyniad)!]"
boom--!
The giant spear composed of flowing light that penetrated the sky completely destroyed the black giant snake that was unable to dodge in its path.
Together with half of the roof of the planetarium.
