Volume 4: The Sea and the Ship Heading North Chapter 259 The situation can be reversed at any time
This discovery made Rabastan's body tremble uncontrollably.
If the man in front of him who claimed to be Professor Johnson was just a suspect before, then now he can be 100% sure that the person his master asked their brothers to look for on the sea is him!
As time went by, Rabastan became more cautious.
The excitement of finding the target did not suppress his reason. The ability demonstrated by John confirmed his relationship with Dumbledore's rebels, but it also made him more aware of the difficulty of capturing John.
Before in Hogwarts Castle, although the number of professors in that school was not as many as the current number of Death Eaters, those who could become professors were all elites in various fields of the wizarding world.
They had no way to deal with Jon, so they just let him leave openly. Now on the sea, they had the freedom to fly freely in the vast sky. Rabastan knew clearly that although there was only one step left to complete the task assigned by the master, it would be the most difficult step to take and complete.
The ability that Jon has demonstrated now is enough to make him invincible.
Immune to most magic, and can fly by itself without the help of any magic items.
In such a situation, unless a powerful wizard like Voldemort Dumbledore came in person, he could only rely on absolute numbers to block John's actions.
Rabastan looked around at the Death Eaters around him. The battle had just begun and they had already lost two men, and the brooms of several others had been seriously affected.
With the current manpower, there is no way to completely blockade John. He needs support!
After realizing this, Rabastan did not hesitate and immediately winked at a Death Eater beside him, who then used Apparition to disappear from the sea.
Since he was sure that the Johnson in front of him was the person Voldemort asked them to look for, he could gather all his manpower and not waste time on other places.
In addition, Rabastan's eyes became particularly fierce. Now that the target had been confirmed, there was no need for them to hold back!
Judging from the current situation, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to capture John alive, and the order Voldemort gave them did not say that he must be captured alive.
Thus, the first killing curse in this battle flashed a pale green light on the tip of Rabastan's staff!
"Avada Kedavra!"
The green light seemed to be able to penetrate the entire sky, crossing the blue sky and sea.
With Rabastan's leadership, the other Death Eaters no longer held back, and the forbidden spells were cast as if they were using the most common petrification spell, filling the entire sky!
Jon's reaction speed was also very fast. When he saw the cruel look in Rabastan's eyes, he suddenly let go of his control over his own gravity, and fell towards the sea in a free fall.
The next moment, more than twenty green spells passed through the place where he had just floated, and then disappeared where the sea and the sky met.
Just as John's body was falling and about to hit the sea surface, he regained control of the effect of the levitation spell on himself and hovered in the air less than 20 centimeters above the sea surface.
After the first wave of the Killing Curse failed, Rabastan and his men did not stop their attack. Instead, they immediately dispersed their formation in a well-trained manner and formed a large net of more than 20 people targeting John's location.
They drove their flying brooms to block the space where Jon could hide as much as possible, and then raised their wands again!
"Avada Kedavra!"
The second wave of fatal attacks followed, and this time Jon reacted even faster.
He moved his body, finding the gaps created by the spells that were shot from all directions, and dodged in the air. At the same time, he still had the energy to launch further counterattacks!
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
He waved his wand and once again chanted the spell which was completely opposite to the normal pronunciation of the levitation spell.
The Death Eaters who were pointed at by their wands were not at all on guard.
The levitation spell has never been an offensive magic. Even though John used it in a very strange way, it only made him fly.
However, in the next second, something happened that made everyone present open their eyes wide!
In the direction that John's wand pointed, the wands in the hands of three Ten Death Apostles suddenly rose into the air uncontrollably and flew rapidly towards the sky.
It was as if they were cast under a disarming spell, but the armor spell on their bodies did not show any sign of being triggered, as if the levitation spell was not worth defending against at all.
The three Death Eaters who suddenly lost control of their wands were horrified, and their first reaction was to control the flying brooms under them to grab their wands back. But just as they were doing this, the three wands flying into the sky suddenly fell down, like three flying arrows, piercing straight into the sea!
Without even a splash, the wands fell into the sea. Without their wands, the three Death Eaters basically lost their ability to cast spells. They stood in mid-air at a loss, while the others swallowed subconsciously, watching John become countless times more nervous than before, and everyone couldn't help but tighten their weapons.
He really performed this levitation spell to perfection. It can be said that it is unheard of and unseen in the entire magical world, making it impossible to guard against it.
Iron Flesh can resist almost all offensive spells except the Unforgivable Curses, but in the eyes of ordinary wizards, the Levitation Spell is definitely not an offensive magic!
John , who was approaching the sea and rapidly distancing , actually knew very well that such a method would only be effective if he used it at the very beginning when he caught them off guard.
Once the people behind him were prepared, the force of the levitation spell was not enough to take the wand out of their hands. But now, including the two Death Eaters he had shot down before, including the one sent away by Rabastan, six people had lost the ability to cast spells.
Jon doesn't need to deal with everyone present. He just needs to reduce the number of opponents as much as possible and break the defense network that could barely block him. After that, it will be the hunter chasing the prey, or the prey consuming the hunter's strength and waiting for a counterattack. The situation can be reversed at any time!
