Volume 3: The Nameless Chapter 17: The Beast of Doom at Hogwarts is Unleashed
It was the last day of the trade fair, which was also the third day that Team K had arrived at Star Castle. After the last trade fair ended this morning, most of the pioneer teams had to leave and return to their own base worlds.
We are all very busy on weekdays, so we will have to wait until three months before we can get together again.
Therefore, many teams will hold social gatherings in the castle today, but no one will invite newcomers like Team K. This industry is not only competitive but also a "look-and-tell" circle.
It's hard to get ahead without making some achievements.
"Drink it."
Mason, wearing a full set of combat gear, picked up three tubes of Polyjuice Potion and handed them to the three bionic guards brought by Judy.
The three of them looked at Mason expressionlessly and didn't even reach out to take it.
Judy, who was chatting with Barbara and Selina nearby, snapped her fingers, and the three loyal androids took the potion and drank it all.
"They are robots. Will your potion really work on them?"
The tech girl, still dressed stylishly in a leather jacket, asked curiously while chewing gum.
Mason shrugged and said:
"As long as they have 'vitality', this thing will definitely work. I have to be thankful that the androids you use are very advanced. Are they from a place called 'Detroit'?"
"How do you know? They were an unexpected discovery made by the Afterlife Team during a pioneering mission."
Judy didn't hide it either.
She looked at the changes in her three android guards and said to the people beside her:
"It's a technologically advanced world. Its power rating isn't high, but it's pretty good among D-class worlds. For a while, it was the base world for the Afterlife Team.
Unfortunately, due to the production of a special metal, it was eventually lost.
We moved the last survivors of that world to a safe place before it was completely dismantled, and these loyal android warriors were willing to serve us.
The Afterlife Squad is in elite mode.
Apart from the main players, the rest of the logistics and support tasks are completed by the bionic people. I think you should also... Wow! They have changed!"
As Judy screamed, her three bionic guards showed painful expressions and covered their stomachs.
Then, within a few seconds, their appearance changed rapidly, and their cheeks seemed to melt and were re-molded into the appearance of Mason, Ertong and Zhakang.
This made the tech girl from Night City sigh with emotion.
Exclaiming that unscientific magic is completely invincible.
"Put on our clothes, and from now on you will play the three of us."
Mason pointed to the three sets of clothes on the sofa, handed Selina a box of six polyjuice potions, and instructed:
"The business representatives of Team Amaterasu will be here soon. Your mission is to hold them back. After that, Zha Kang will notify you and you can detain them then."
"Yes, I understand."
Catwoman gave a confident smile and Barbara nodded.
But Judy was still very curious. She frowned and said:
"How did they provoke you to do such a dangerous thing in Star Castle? I have never heard of anyone who dares to commit a crime in this place before."
"It's not because no one has done it before that it can't be done, Miss Judy."
Constantine walked out of the inner room holding the magic book, holding a cigarette in his mouth and said to the tech girl in a long voice:
“It’s purely because of my fixed mindset that I don’t dare to think in that direction. The surveillance system of this castle is indeed very complete, but you have to admit that it also has loopholes.
As for why you want to kill someone for nothing..."
Zha Kang shrugged and said:
"Our dear captain said that those Japanese people must die. Is this reason enough?"
"Click"
The sound of a pistol being loaded came from behind Mason and Zha Kang, and Ertong, fully armed and wearing a red helmet, walked out. He flexed his fingers and said coldly:
"Should I wait here until you guys finish chatting, or should I go alone? I think I can do it alone, really. You guys will just be wasting time if you tag along."
"Set off!"
Mason said nothing more and threw the invisibility cloak to Zha Kang and Ertong.
She picked up the black gentleman's hat beside her and put it on her head. As they were leaving, Judy hesitated for a moment, took out a pink pistol from her waist and handed it to Mason, saying:
"Take this with you. It seems your firepower is not enough."
Mason did not refuse the kindness.
He took the pink, girly pistol, and an information tag popped up immediately:
Lizzie
Quality: Legendary engineering creation, immortal craftsmanship
Weapon characteristics: precision, rapid charging, multiple shots, obstacle penetration
Producer: Judy Alvarez
Item Description: The pink girl's heart will become a scary thing once it is stained with blood.
"As expected of an old pioneer, even the guns of the support staff are legendary weapons."
Mason felt a little sad.
He gave Judy a grateful smile and inserted the lady-style pistol into the weapon slot on his waist, then threw his own explosive revolver to Ertong.
Then the three men disappeared through the door.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Barbara went to open the door and found two people standing outside, a woman and a man, both with oriental faces.
They took the initiative to introduce themselves:
“We are the business representatives of Team Amaterasu. Team K’s captain, Mason-san, has previously reached a long-term supply agreement for medicines with our team members.
We are here to discuss business details.”
"Of course, you're welcome."
Barbara immediately opened the door and let them in. Catwoman, as a representative, made a "please" gesture. Under the indifferent gazes of Mason, Ertong and Zhakang, she brushed her hair and said to the two people in front of her generously:
“I will be in charge of this business negotiation, my two distinguished guests.
This is Miss Judy from the Afterlife Team, and a friend of Team K. We specially invited her to be a witness to this transaction.
As a fledgling pioneer, Team K not only hopes to obtain a large amount of drugs from you, but also hopes to cooperate with you in many aspects.
Come on, don't be shy, let's talk slowly."
Everyone sat down in peace. Barbara served tea and turned around, then lightly pressed a button on her Batman watch.
At the same time, Mason and his two organized gang members who were outside the castle received the signal. They looked at each other, put on the prepared masks, and re-entered the Star Castle.
Relying on the information Constantine got from his vampire "bedmate", they made their way to Area C on the third floor of the castle.
Zha Kang and Er Tong hid in their invisibility cloaks, leaving Mason alone at the entrance of Team Amaterasu's base.
He reached out and knocked on the door.
The Sorting Hat on his head shook at this moment, like the excitement of an Avenger before execution.
The next moment, the door opened, and just like Judy before, it was only opened a crack, and a pair of vigilant eyes looked at the stranger in front of him.
"I have a treasure from your world that I want to trade with you!"
Mason doesn't waste words either.
He took out a box and placed it in his palm, then opened it under the gaze of the eyes in front of him. A ball of irregular blood-colored crystal appeared on the velvet black cushion.
The appearance of this thing immediately made the person behind the door's eyes widen.
"The Philosopher's Stone?"
He exclaimed and tried to reach out to take it but Mason pushed it away.
The young man pretended to be dissatisfied and scolded:
"Do you understand the rules? Let your captain come forward. This is a big business!"
"Your Excellency?"
The man behind the door became obviously alert and asked.
Mason shrugged and introduced himself:
"Business representative of the Six-Headed Snake Team. You can call me Three-Headed Dog. Our captain is the famous Mr. Sandstorm. Have you heard of this name?"
"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency."
The door slammed shut, and it seemed that the people inside needed some time to discuss.
Mason waited patiently for nearly a minute before the door opened again.
This time it's welcome.
Through the door, Mason could see an old man in traditional neon white clothing sitting in the center of the Japanese-style resident room, leaning on a black cane and holding a golden sword.
There were five people standing on both sides of him, six in total including the one who opened the door.
The robes they wore were all white without exception.
"It's him!"
The Sorting Hat's gnashing voice rose in Mason's heart, with an undisguised resentment, it said:
"The current headmaster of the Shinto School of Magic, a second-class member of Merlin's Order, he was once respectfully called 'Tengu', which is the sacred beast in Japanese mythology.
But look at their white robes, which represent a departure from the wizarding code !
These damned traitors know what they have done. Kill them! Mason, the monsters of Hogwarts, kill them all! "
Mason calmly gave a gentle smile to the people in front of him. He walked into the room holding the box containing the Philosopher's Stone, and the door closed the next moment.
"Your team entered the ruined Hogwarts?"
The great wizard Tengu did not exchange any pleasantries. The serious and gloomy old man asked in a deep voice:
"I'm curious if you found anything else there?"
"Of course, respected great wizard."
Mason performed the standard wizard apprentice etiquette to the great wizard in front of him. He placed the Philosopher's Stone on the table in front of him and said softly:
"Our team not only found the Philosopher's Stone in the ruins, but also found something else that you will definitely be interested in. I hope to use them to exchange for a valuable item from the Amaterasu team."
As he spoke, the young man took off his hat and placed it next to .
Under the gaze of the neon traitor wizards, the black Panama hat quickly dissipated, revealing the Sorting Hat's horrible state.
The two legendary magic items made the members of Team Amaterasu look surprised, and the great wizard Tengu even let out a low old man's laugh.
He obviously recognized the Sorting Hat and was very satisfied with the items traded, so he asked:
"So, young man, what do you want in exchange from us?"
Mason shrugged.
He raised his head, smiled, and said:
"Of course it's...your lives."
"boom"
A large-scale spell specifically used to suppress magic power spread out in all directions with the screaming Sorting Hat as the center, like an invisible hammer hitting several defenseless wizards.
The aftermath of the magic was so intense that the assassins wearing invisibility cloaks behind Mason were affected and removed their disguises in an instant.
But Zha Kang, who had been prepared, drank Petri's potion, and with veins bulging, he began to summon the fire of purgatory.
As he chanted hoarsely, his eyes transformed into strange burning green runes. Waves of scorching heat rose up and ignited the quaint paper paintings on the Japanese-style building.
Team Amaterasu did not expect that someone would dare to commit a crime in Star Castle, so they reacted a little slowly.
But for high-level wizards, the magical skill of Disapparate at close range has almost become an instinct. When they realize that danger is approaching, everyone draws out their wands, which are either exquisite or hideous.
However, Ertong, a killer trained by Batman and the League of Assassins, was obviously able to draw his sword faster in this closed environment.
Two black explosive hand cannons were pulled out, and at the same time as they violently charged and kicked over the wizard in front of them, a dance of bullets also broke out in this scorching place.
The cursed single-barreled bullet, with two barrels of at least Level 6 lethal shooting, instantly pierced the abdomen of a female wizard, and forced the wizards to use Apparition to run around the room.
Then six bottles thrown by Mason hit the ground and walls, and the green fear gas quickly vaporized in the high temperature caused by Zha Kang.
Team K, who had put on anti-gas gear in the chaos, was not affected.
But the same cannot be said for the Neon Wizards.
This stuff is the "concentrate" that Mason carefully prepared for today's raid. He is sure that even a man with a will as strong as a god like the master would be affected if he inhaled this concentration of fear gas.
In just a moment, the entire room turned green, and the effect of the fear gas took effect almost instantly.
The wizards screamed, their minds and sanity obviously affected, and screams of pain were heard from time to time during the deadly and swift pursuit of the second barrel.
Dangerous green beams of light were bursting out.
The Avada Kedavra curse was thrown out like it was free, and the blue|tempting Fiery Fire Curse was thrown by the great wizard Tengu at Mason in front of him.
The young man opened his penguin umbrella, with the magic inscriptions on the umbrella shining to block the blazing flames. He then drew out the exquisite flintlock from his waist while retreating, and fired a shot at the Tengu who was casting a spell in front of him.
Even the great wizard couldn't change his position while casting a spell, and the bullet passed through the blue fire and hit the great wizard's body.
But the soft lead bullet did not cause any harm, it just tore Tengu's robe and did not even penetrate his body. The gloomy old man in neon grinned and pulled out his cherry wood wand.
The green life-threatening light lit up and was about to fall on Mason.
Then……
He heard the sound of the sea.
Amid the sound of the surging tide and the echoing waves, the vulgar pirate song was transmitted clearly to the ears of everyone present like a phantom sound.
Mason looked up and saw the shadow of a tattered ghost ship passing through the void, guided by the lead bullet shot from old Teague's cigarette lighter.
He could even see the pirates howling and drinking on the shabby ship marked "The Bard".
At the bow of the ship, the majestic old Teague swung his pirate knife forward fiercely, and the illusory ghost ship, pushed by the sea water, slammed into the great wizard Tengu who was casting a spell like a sledgehammer.
Amidst the terrifying loud noise, the double impact on the body and will triggered a glacial frenzy, which froze the great wizard Tengu and the three wizards around him in solid ice in just a moment.
Even if Tengu broke free from the ice the next second, it was too late.
The pillar of inferno summoned by Zha Kang had smashed down on their heads, instantly engulfing the four wizards and plunging the entire room into a raging sea of fire.
"ah!"
At the same time, screams were heard from the other side.
A high-level wizard doesn't know whether he has gone crazy or not.
He actually grabbed a samurai sword and wanted to engage in close combat with Ertong, which was exactly what Ertong wanted. If his archery skills were around Lv6, then his close combat skills were at least around Lv8.
It took only a few seconds for the two cursed blades of the Great Caste, one long and one short, to pierce the heart of the poor fellow. As the latter fell to his knees, he was beheaded with an extremely cruel blow from behind.
Mason looked at the raging fire in front of him. He grabbed the legendary pistol that Judy had lent him from his waist, activated the Eye of Death, raised his gun to the other side and pulled the trigger as if time had almost stopped.
Eight bullets flew out of the muzzle, easily piercing through the wall and breaking the hearts and heads of the two female wizards who were hiding behind it, covered in blood and ready to call for support.
The destructive power and accuracy of the legendary pistol amazed the young man.
But there are obviously more important things at the moment.
When the scorching firelight faded, Mason picked up the Sorting Hat, which was laughing happily and crazily, and took out the sealed Hufflepuff gold cup from it. He also pulled out the ghost-headed black blade from the penguin umbrella and stepped forward.
He watched the great wizard Tengu, who was struggling in purgatory, put the golden cup on the ground, grabbed the miserable old man by the neck and dragged him over.
The cold blade of the demon's head was pressed against his neck. He said:
"The Beast of Doom of Hogwarts sends you greetings, Your Excellency the Great Wizard. The undead of Hogwarts are waiting for you to reunite in hell. Please give my regards to Mr. Potter and Miss Hermione as a transfer student at Hogwarts."
"puff"
The knife flashed and blood spurted out.
The noble blood of the pure-blooded wizard gushed out from his wound like a waterfall and spilled into the golden cup in front of him, just like the post-war celebration of warriors who drank blood from the cup in mythology.
But this was only the beginning of Mason's "career" as Hogwarts's avenger.
I have to say, this is a pretty cool start.
