As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience became excited again, and they all raised their armbands to signal Lockhart to choose them.

Professor Flitwick received Lockhart's hint and did not embarrass Lockhart. He looked directly at Mike in the audience and said loudly: "Mr. Mike Townley, please come up."

Mike was not surprised by this. He flicked his wand and quietly released the levitating spell. In everyone's envious eyes, he floated to Professor Flitwick like a leaf, quietly waiting for his opponent.

The first contestant has been decided, but Lockhart is in trouble with the remaining one. There are so many little hands waving in the audience, and he really doesn't know who to choose.

At this moment, a slender and handsome boy was pushed to the edge of the stage by a group of Hufflepuff students.

Lockhart's eyes lit up the moment he saw this boy, and he announced loudly: "Mr. Cedric Diggory, please come up!"

Hearing this, the group of Hufflepuff students cheered, and Cedric shook his head with a wry smile. He had heard about Mike's strength for a long time. To be honest, he really didn't want to fight against Mike, but he

The students were so enthusiastic. Now that the matter was over, Cedric was no longer troubled, took out his wand and stepped onto the stage.

The way he takes the stage is very similar to Professor Flitwick. He also uses transformation to create a huge stone hand and sends himself up. However, his level of transformation is obviously not as high as that of Professor Flitwick. The movements of the stone hand are very stiff and the joints are very stiff.

There are also many stone chips falling down during the rotation.

When Cedric stood firm, Lockhart and Flitwick left the stage, leaving only Mac and Cedric on the stage.

The two people on the stage did not communicate. They bowed to each other according to the duel etiquette demonstrated by Flitwick and Lockhart before. They each occupied one side of the stage and stood solemnly.

The huge light characters above the stage continued to count down, and everyone in the audience held their breath.

Mike braced himself and looked at the boy opposite him with vigilance. In the original book, although Cedric was killed by Wormtail with the Death Curse as soon as he met him, this did not mean that he was weak. In fact,

He is the strongest of all the students at Hogwarts today.

You must know that the mechanism for selecting warriors in the Goblet of Fire is to select the strongest, and Cedric is a warrior selected from countless Hogwarts students. If he was not killed by Wormtail later, Cedric would almost certainly be able to achieve success

A big undertaking.

As the light characters exploded, the two people on the stage started to move at the same time.

"Expelliarmus!" "Armor protection!"

The two of them completed the release of the curse almost at the same time. Mike's disarming curse hit the transparent shield in front of Cedric, exploding into a red light.

The Hufflepuff students in the audience breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. After resisting Mike's disarming spell, the shield in front of Cedric only showed dense cracks and did not dissipate. Now Cedric's situation

A great place.

But is this really the case?

There was a sneer on the corner of Mike's mouth, and the Wind Speed ​​Curse was already activated. Mike stepped sideways and came directly to the other side of the stage. At the same time, he made an inaudible voice, "The stone spear appears."

Cedric on the other side must have noticed the strange movement under his feet through magic perception, and activated the transformation technique frantically. He saw a stone pillar suddenly protruding from the ground, pushing Cedric out, and narrowly escaping.

Mike's ground stabbing technique.

"Tsk!"

Mike clicked his tongue in the distance and kept moving his hands. After a while, several lavender fireballs the size of table tennis balls roared towards Cedric. These fireballs were all controlled by Mike's mental power. No matter what Cedric did,

No matter how you dodge, you'll still get blown up.

"Boom!"

The continuous explosions caused a large amount of smoke to block everyone's sight. Many Hufflepuff students in the audience closed their eyes in pain, as if they couldn't bear to see Cedric's miserable state.

However, they guessed wrong again.

Three stone arrows shot out from the smoke in perfect glyph shapes and shot towards Mike.

With a wave of Mike's wand, the armor protection was released, and only "Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!" was heard. Three crisp sounds were made in succession, and all three arrows were blocked.

However, more arrows had been shot out of the smoke. Mike stepped on his feet, using the movement speed brought by the wind speed spell to move on the stage in a zigzag pattern to avoid the arrows. At the same time, his hands kept moving, one by one.

A lavender fireball quickly emerged from the black rhododendron wand and counterattacked in the direction of the arrow.

The smoke on the stage was gradually dissipating, and Cedric was seen continuously transforming the stone floor of the stage into arrows and shooting towards Mike. Seeing the fireball coming again, Cedric hurriedly stopped releasing the arrows.

With a sharp finger of the wand, the floor around him seemed to come alive and wrapped around him, forming a stone ball to protect him.

Several fireballs hit the huge stone ball, shattering the pieces on the surface of the stone ball, and at the same time creating a large amount of smoke again.

Mike did not stop releasing the fire spell and controlled more fireballs to hit the stone ball, because he could see clearly from his magic vision that the bombing he had just done did not hurt Cedric inside the stone ball.

The bombing lasted for a full two minutes before Mike stopped breathing heavily. However, before Mike could rest for long, arrows were fired at him again.

After holding on to avoid the arrow, Mike's heart gradually sank.

His magic power was almost at its bottom. The long wave of bombardment just now did not hurt Cedric at all as the stone balls continued to thicken.

His legs were already in pain from using the Wind Speed ​​Curse for a long time, and Mike felt that his mouth was full of the smell of rust, which was a sign that his physical strength was approaching its limit.

Cedric's defensive power is really amazing, and if he continues like this, he will probably be consumed to death by him.

The corner of his eye swept over Professor Flitwick in the audience, and seeing the somewhat disappointed look on his face, Mike's heart twitched violently.

"No, we absolutely cannot lose!"

Clenching his teeth, Mike squeezed out the remaining magic power in his body and cast the final fire spell.

A purple fireball the size of an egg appeared on the tip of Mike's staff. As Mike's magic power continued to be instilled, the color of the fireball continued to deepen, and finally turned into a dark purple fireball the size of a heart.

This fireball doesn't seem to be very stable. It beats constantly like a real heart, and every time it beats it emits an astonishing amount of heat.

"bo!"

The dark purple fireball fell off the tip of Mike's staff and flew in the direction of Cedric.

After releasing the fireball, Mike suddenly collapsed to the ground, forced himself into a hole he had blasted before and curled up into a ball.

Mike knew very well what kind of terrible damage this dark purple fireball could cause. This was already Mike's most destructive spell at present. If Cedric could still block this blow, Mike would be willing to admit defeat.

The moment Professor Flitwick saw the fireball in the audience, his expression changed drastically. With a flick of his wand, he pulled Cedric and Mike, who were on both sides of the stage, to him. At the same time, a "Total Protection" shielded the entire stage.

shrouded.

"Boom!"

As the dark purple fireball hit the stone wall that Cedric had built before, the powerful explosion energy carried a large amount of gravel and hit the transparent shield. Everyone in the audience watched in stunned silence as a dazzling light lit up from the stage.

The brightness was so high that the entire auditorium was darkened.

When the light dissipated, everyone saw that the transparent shield covering the stage was full of cracks. At this moment, most of the stage had disappeared, and the place where Cedric was originally turned into a deep pit.

There is fiery red magma flowing slowly at the bottom.

Cedric stared blankly at the big pit and said tremblingly:
Chapter completed!
