Chapter 25 Fighting Trolls and Ineffective Fear Spells

"Wingardim Leviosa~"

Watching the giant monster slowly approaching, Ivan whispered the floating spell, and a few rock cakes on the ground slowly floated up, so that the giant monster could see it directly without being too small to see it. Qing stepped over directly.

But at this time, Ivan still felt a little uneasy, fearing that the troll was not as stupid as the book said and could see that this was a trap.

Fortunately, Ivan soon discovered that the troll was stupider than he thought. He didn't even have the vigilance that ordinary creatures should have. He didn't care where the food in front of him came from. He just grabbed it and put it in his mouth.

Even for the sake of grabbing it, the troll even dropped the stick in his hand on the ground. He looked so full of foodies that Ivan couldn't help but wonder if Quirrell had secretly deducted the troll's food and then spent the saved money on it. Galleon put it in his pocket.

After complaining in his mind for a while, Ivan's originally nervous expression relaxed. He gently touched the pocket of the wizard's robe with his left hand. It seemed that his carefully prepared escape method was no longer needed.

However, to Ivan's expectation, a few minutes later, the troll who had finished eating the rock cake did not show any intention of falling down. Instead, it twitched its nose as if it wanted to smell if there was any other food here.

Ivan was a little confused. You must know that in order to ensure the success of the plan, he had no problem knocking down several adult wizards with the amount he used, but the troll didn't even react at all.

This is not scientific at all, this is not magic at all!

Could it be that the potion he brewed was watery?

Ivan looked at his potion science, which had reached level three, and was somewhat unsure.

"Ah~"

When Ivan was debating whether he should take action directly, a high-pitched voice directly broke the already bad situation.

Ivan, who was hiding in the secret passage, immediately saw Hermione who suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor. The troll directly picked up the wooden stick on the ground again and walked toward Hermione with excitement on his face.

Ivan understood the moment he saw the troll's movements that Hermione must have been attracted by the sound of the wooden stick falling to the ground.

Ivan cursed in his mind, if he had known earlier, he would have set the trap farther away.

Of course, Ivan was just saying that. If he really wanted to go further, he would not be sure whether the troll would pass there.

On the other side, Hermione faced the terrifying pressure brought by the approaching giant monster. She panicked for a moment. Her brain kept sending escape messages to her body, but her legs were so weak that she could barely stand.

Just as Ivan thought, Hermione, who was originally crying in the bathroom, felt the vibration from the ground and the loud sound of the wooden stick falling to the ground, and then she came over to take a look out of curiosity.

But Hermione never thought she would see such a terrifying creature as a troll in the corridors of Hogwarts.

Just when Hermione thought she was going to die tragically, a voice rang out at the right time.

"Fear is coming!"

A bright purple light shot out from the other side. The giant monster's huge size made it almost impossible for the spell to miss. The moment the fear spell hit, the giant monster also stopped running forward and was stunned. He stood still, and at the same time, Ivan, who had been hiding in the secret passage, came out.

"Ivan!" Like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, Hermione rushed forward and hugged Ivan, with tears still in the corners of her eyes that had not dried up.

"Shhh" Ivan did not relax his vigilance. He used his free left hand to break free from Hermione's grasp. He still held the wand in his right hand and continued to increase the power of the fear spell.

Hermione blushed, but quickly noticed something was wrong with the troll after Ivan's reminder. Hermione had thought that Ivan had subdued the troll with a magic spell, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.

"What happened to it?" Hermione whispered.

Ivan did not answer, but just motioned to Hermione to stop making any noise, but his eyes never left the troll. This was the first time Ivan had seen this situation since using the fear spell.

In order to cause enough fear to the troll, Ivan used the fear spell to reproduce the three-headed dog Norway that he encountered before, enlarged it, and replaced it in Hermione's position.

The troll who had been hit by the fear curse was also very confused at this time. How could the little dwarf wearing strange clothes in front of him turn into a huge three-headed dog inexplicably? The image was vaguely familiar, but it seemed to be the same as what it had in mind. I have gained a lot of weight compared to the previous one. Could it be that I have secretly eaten extra food recently?

Now how to do? Hermione said nothing this time, but still signaled with her eyes.

Ivan pondered for a while, but still couldn't bear to give up this opportunity. Time was limited, and the professor might arrive at any time.

If you miss this opportunity, next time you want to defeat the troll, you will have to go under the trap door guarded by the three-headed dog Luwei.

Thinking of this, Ivan used his mouth and movements to instruct Hermione to use the floating spell to seize the troll's stick, and then hit it on the head.

That's right, it's exactly how Harry and Ron defeated the troll in the original book. Even if they didn't succeed, they could at least capture the troll's weapon.

Hermione expressed doubts about Ivan's fanciful plan, but was still prepared to implement it out of trust.

However, what was faster than Hermione's spell was the wooden club swung by the troll!

The troll, who had no brains to begin with, finally chose to take action angrily after trying to communicate many times to no avail. The strange strength and the stick thicker than an adult's waist made Ivan feel the threat of death for the first time in a long time.

At the critical moment, Ivan used his last trump card, and the remaining grade points in the system column instantly dropped to single digits. In the next moment, Ivan's thinking speed was increased a hundred times.

The impact point of the wooden stick and the possible subsequent actions of the troll flashed through Ivan's mind one by one. Then he turned around and rushed forward, holding Hermione in his arms and rolling around on the ground several times.

Behind him, a huge sound came at the same time. A large piece of the originally solid corner of the wall had been knocked off by the giant monster, and the powder and debris it brought were spread all over the floor.

The fear spell that Ivan used before was also broken. Now, even the stupidest troll knew that he was being played. He raised his stick and prepared to pursue him. However, after taking two steps, the troll felt his brain suddenly faint. Feeling groggy, he staggered and hit the wall, but the powerful sleeping potion he had taken before finally began to take effect.

Taking advantage of the moment when the troll's brain was unconscious, Ivan suddenly climbed up from the ground, pulling Hermione and a distance of more than ten meters from the troll. The affected troll also regained its sanity at this time, obviously because of the sleeping pills. The resistance to the agent is very high.

Although the troll didn't know why he was suddenly trapped, he would never go wrong by beating the two dwarfs on the ground to death, and immediately rushed towards them with furious strides.

More than ten meters is not too far for the giant monster. It can be crossed in just a few seconds, which is enough for Ivan!
