Chapter 259 Ten Times To Strengthen
Although she had already prepared herself, Elena couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It was a gigantic dark brown dog, so large that it almost filled the entire space from ceiling to floor.
It had three heads, a black leather collar attached to the central head, three pairs of fierce eyes that swiveled, three quivering snouts pointing towards Elena, along with three bloody bibs with large mouths and yellowish teeth still covered in slippery mucus.
It was as if the Guerlaos from Greek mythology, guardians of the underworld gate, had suddenly arrived on Earth.
The three-headed dog is a very rare magical creature.
It is so scarce that not even Newt Scamander managed to include it in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
Of course, one of the reasons for this is also due to Mr. Scamander's stubborn pride, as he only included those magical creatures with which he had personally come into contact or raised. (In Elena's opinion, Newt Scamander actually resembles the legendary animal trainer who is the protagonist but has never won a championship).
This three-headed dog that Rubeus Hagrid originally bought from a "Greek" in the bar may be one of the few in the world, and even information about it can be used as gambling information about a dragon egg.
"Fluffy..."
Elena frowned and looked at the three-headed dog that Hagrid had in front of her with a solemn expression, not daring to be careless.
You know, although Hagrid seems a bit careless, almost none of the magical creatures he raises are dangerous below a four-star rating; in a sense, he was expelled from Hogwarts without any problem.
According to the known information, Luwei, the three-headed dog, has extremely high magical and physical resistance. At least Elena doesn't naively think that with her little magic, she can put a hole in this large dog's stomach with just an explosive spell.
You know, even Severus Snape, who is stronger, was left with a terrible scar on his leg when facing this fearsome three-headed dog; even if Elena is arrogant, she won't think she can outmatch Professor Snape in overall strength.
However, the luck is that it seems Hagrid just approached and fed Luwei once. This big dog is not very hungry at the moment, and along with Elena's cautious attitude, it does not show too much aggressiveness.
It remained motionless, with six eyes fixed on Elena; all the dog's heads showed a somewhat dumbfounded and confused expression. Obviously, for a moment, they did not understand how this young girl had suddenly appeared from the wall.
However, over time, this three-headed dog is quickly regaining its composure.
Three enormous dog heads shook and collided with each other, emitting a deafening roar as if they were talking among themselves.
"Woof!" (How did she appear here?)
"Woof!" (She's so small, she's not enough.)
"Woof!" (It's good to have an extra meal, let's not be picky!)
"Woof!" (Hagrid will be angry if we eat her.)
"Woof!" (Don't be afraid, let's eat quickly!)
"Woof!" (Ready to start!)
Although Elena didn't understand the language of the dogs, based on the rougher expression of the large dog in front of her, the situation was not heading in a more peaceful and harmless direction; it is easy to understand that Hagrid's "pet" has almost never been reliable. After all, he is just a qualified breeder, not a good druid.
Grr...
Facing this gigantic dog, whose head was half her size, Elena internally declared that she was not afraid, even if it was false.
Nervously, Elena swallowed, clenched her cold fists, and slowly stepped back. The wand in her hand slowly pointed towards the wooden door behind her.
"BombardaMaxima [Powerful Explosion]"
Boom!
A deafening noise resonated from one side, causing Elena's ears to ring slightly.
However, apart from the sound, the seemingly dilapidated wooden door showed no further reaction.
All the power of the spell, like a rock in the mud, silently disappeared into the wooden door, reminding Elena of another very similar place: Dumbledore's office door.
"Oh, there's magical protection."
Elena's face changed, followed by a backward punch at the wooden door.
She didn't feel like she was hitting the wooden board, and the strange force that allowed her to easily strike common door panels in a single blow seemed to collide with a soft foam, having no effect at all.
Undoubtedly, the door in this seemingly dilapidated film and easily openable is obviously not so simple.
Upon reflection, she realized that with Dumbledore's character, it would be impossible to allow students to break into this dangerous place without establishing protective measures; although in the story of the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore only drew a circle and the Weasley brothers crossed it.
"Woof!"
"Roar, woof!"
"Oh, woof!"
With the thunder of the explosion spell cast by Elena, the still indecisive three-headed dog Luwei obviously began to adopt an attacking posture, with sharp teeth bared and three horrific bloody openings, emitting a deafening roar.
Elena turned her head and looked at the stone wall that was gradually returning to its undulating state. Her face looked somewhat grim. Perhaps there were two or three seconds left before Grindelwald crossed, and most importantly, Grindelwald's appearance was happening right in the path where Luwei was fighting.
It goes without saying that Grindelwald is truly one of the most powerful wizards in the current world of magic, but this does not mean that he has more responsiveness and preventive measures than a common person. If he is caught off guard by an angry adult three-headed dog...
This is a situation where Elena does not dare to take the risk. Once Grindelwald does not react, all hopes of change are completely lost. As for why she doesn't run back, should she stand in front of a three-headed dog, turn three times in place, and then count the bricks on the wall?
Why do the travels of others at Hogwarts intertwine with the protagonist group, and occasionally become a prophet to gain some harmless benefits, only to peacefully embrace Hermione for a little life?
And she was lost for a brief moment, so she had to engage in a desperate struggle with a fierce three-headed dog that might not be able to cook in three pots, this is the world of magic, not the horizontal version of the game!
Elena recalled Paracelsus' judgment in her mind:
"With your current physical strength, you cannot withstand too many magical enhancements in a short period of time: the burden on the body is only one of the consequences, and the most serious consequence is that the concentration of the magical bloodline that will allow you to balance the stagnation will increase once again. In other words, it could give you a day and no longer be human."
Whether something human in the future, at least you have to wait until to survive to talk about it.
Elena looked up and gazed at the already angry three-headed dog. She took a deep breath, and her mind was clear.
Do not jump!
Do not get bitten!
The attack range of the three-headed dog is almost everywhere!
She cannot determine if the pain is shared; she must complete three attacks at once!
"Rua!"
"Rua!"
"Rua!"
"Rua!"
"Rua!"
Facing the approaching huge claws of the dog, Elena raised her head impassively, trying to grasp all the trajectories of the giant beast with her eyes wide open, and she struck the blow with all her force.
"Oh ~" X3
Next ~ ~ is the head!
Elena shrunk, hiding under the immense twisted paws of the dog at strange angles, and rushed toward the three jaws of Luwei. Her blue eyes shone like a flame, looking indifferently, with three pairs of confused and angry eyes.
"Rua!"
Tenth reinforcement!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
