The stone statue with half its face missing quickly swung a stone sword with a mirror-smooth blade.
Whoosh——
The sword edge passed by his eyes, bringing with it a sharp sword wind and cutting off several strands of his hair.
I don’t know why, but my physical strength turned into that of my ten-year-old self.
In other words, they are a little stronger than the average child.
The high-intensity avoidance made me tired.
As a last resort, I had to use the least movement in exchange for the most efficient dodge.
Something is very wrong, how could I lose most of my power for no reason?
One foot was lifted on the charging stone statue.
The stone statue swayed slightly, and he used the recoil force to temporarily pull away.
I was cursed! When was it?
Xifa desperately recalled the memory of the moment when he opened the door.
However, that memory seems to be separated by a piece of frosted glass or a damaged video tape.
It's either a hazy picture or an edited picture.
When I looked to the left, what did I see?
The sound of breaking through the air struck again.
Xifa rolled forward.
He ran past the stone statue.
He took advantage of the moment when the stone statue turned around and rushed towards him.
Xifa desperately used Occlumency to search for memory fragments in his mind.
Why, my subconscious has been emphasizing that I must use fireball to defeat the stone statue in front of me?
Maybe Occlumency worked.
Xifa's thoughts briefly regained some clarity, and he couldn't help but reflect on why he had to be entangled with the stone statues here instead of escaping from here first?
The most important thing is that I came here to hunt down Casper Crouch, where were the others?!
With this ray of clarity.
Xifa quickly glanced in the direction of the bathroom door.
This is actually a secret room!
That glimmer of clarity, when I didn't see the expected door, was instantly stirred up by the waves in my heart.
Xifa has become a single-minded warrior again. He wants to use fireball to grind the stone statue in front of him to death!
...
Another sideways look.
The pale Xifa shook off the sweat dripping from the tips of her hair.
Sweat fell on the soaked clothes without making any waves.
Logically speaking, being so tired, Xifa's eyes should be dull.
However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with joy.
Once again, he narrowly avoided the stone sword that no longer made the sound of piercing the air.
The sword blade slipped from his eyes.
He could hear the crackling sound of rocks falling apart from the cracked texture.
Three...two...one.
The accumulated magic power can be used to release the fireball technique!
Xifa couldn't help but grin.
Hiss! It hurts! My lips are definitely chapped!
The blazing fireball floated towards the broken stone statue, and the taste of blood in his mouth made Xifa's mood even more wonderful.
Bang——
Kaka——
As expected, the stone statue is slowly crumbling.
Xifa clutched the wand that she almost dropped.
Just when he was about to fall to the ground.
A chill came over my heart.
But I feel extremely refreshed, as if something is constantly leaving my body, and my spirit is extremely relaxed.
An ordinary wizard would probably be lost in this pleasure.
After all, Xifa's soul strength far exceeds that of ordinary wizards.
With the chill brought to him by his sixth sense, his mind became clear again.
No time to think about why.
At this time, Xifa's mind was filled with a deep sense of fear.
This is the source of my own magic power, which is being extracted by unknown existence!
Move! Stop it!
Xifa's heart was roaring, but the instructions could not come out of his mind.
He just sat slumped on the ground, letting the source of magic power leave him. Then, Xifa's skin began to fade, and the hair at the corners of his eyes began to turn pale...
Just when Xifa felt desperate.
Dong Dong——
Dong Dong————
The second 'heart' actually appeared and started ringing on its own under my desperate expectation!
The 'heart' is swallowing magic power, and the beating sound is getting louder and louder.
From the beginning it was as thin as a gossamer and inaudible, to the end it was as loud as a drum or a gong.
Xifa felt that the magic source he had withdrawn was completely refilled by the second 'heart'.
Magic has been mastered by myself again!
"Recover quickly!"
Xifa felt that he would definitely be able to cast this magic at this time!
Sure enough, with the support of abundant magic power, the lost physical strength was quickly replenished.
Finally, it's no longer a fireball.
Xifa let out a long sigh and stood up slowly, then focused on the environment he was in.
Huh?
This image?
Xifa glanced around and saw that everything in sight had turned into a double image.
It was like two identical pictures were superimposed, but due to the beating of my heart like a war drum, the two pictures were misplaced.
I still can't remember what I saw after I entered.
But in this scene, Xifa thought of what happened during his summer vacation.
But at that time, I was dragged into a dream, but now I am awake.
And he himself also found a way out of this predicament.
That is to stimulate your second 'heart' and make it beat more powerfully!
Under Xifa's deliberate stimulation, the sound waves mixed with the Imperius Curse, the magical effects of infection and plunder, reverberated throughout the bathroom.
The ghostly image gradually became cracked like a broken mirror.
Finally, the cell that trapped Xifa could no longer hold.
The sound of breaking glass appeared in Xifa's heart.
The picture was distorted, and Xifa returned to the position where he stepped into the bathroom.
Caught off guard, Xifa didn't notice that he was already ten centimeters off the ground.
He stumbled as he missed the mark and almost fell to the ground.
Um?
Fortunately, even after Xifa reacted, his strong physical fitness allowed him to stand up straight again.
Myself just now...
The feet are definitely off the ground!
So, after the portrait sees me, or after I see the portrait, will I be dragged into that strange state?
However, there are no pictures on the walls!
Looking around, Xifa focused his attention on a sculpture above the sink.
This small sculpture is exactly the same as the stone statue I saw, and its sword has just been broken.
Xifa blew the dust in the gap, it was the same material as the stone!
That said, it’s not just portraits! Stone statues can also be used!
Oops!
Xifa suddenly panicked in his heart.
He remembered that other colleges didn't know that their Ravenclaw common room had several new sculptures added!
"Call the gods to protect you!"
The black dragon patron saint of Xifa emerged from the tip of the staff and passed the order to destroy or throw the stone statue out of the lounge to the prefects of each college.
Watching the patron saint disappear from the window, Xifa prayed secretly in his heart.
I hope my guess is wrong, or that those stone statues have not been activated yet.
As for why Casper Crouch didn't destroy the stone statue.
Maybe he destroyed the stone statue and returned to consciousness directly.
After all, he has not been completely contained.
It's also possible... that he doesn't have any extra magic power to cast black magic!
Looking at the blood stains on the ground and the traces of corrosive magic whose power was greatly reduced.
