Volume 4: The Sea and the Ship Heading North Chapter 261 Transformation
John was not worried about the small group of Death Eaters that Rabastan had sent out to chase the Hogwarts.
Or maybe he doesn't have the energy to worry now.
As a leader now, he has to do what he can, but just as they cannot rely entirely on the professors, the students on the ship cannot rely entirely on him.
There was only one team of three Death Eaters chasing after them. With the help of the Hogwarts with its full defensive power, if Neville and the others could be captured alive or suffer any casualties so easily, then it could be .
Instead of worrying about other things, what John needs to consider now is how to get rid of the people in front of him when Dumbledore is late.
Through Rabastan's fear of him in certain aspects, Jon actually already has some plans in mind...
"Be careful."
After another round of killing curses, John quickly distanced himself from them. Rabastan spoke to the people around him with a serious expression.
"There is something wrong with his spellcasting. It is seriously inconsistent with the strength he has shown. You should be careful and don't be fooled by him."
In fact, not only Rabastan, but other Death Eaters also felt a strong sense of disharmony from John's spell.
So far, no one has any doubts about the identity that John has revealed at this moment . Even Rabastan, who has guessed that the big case in Hogwarts Castle last year was also committed by him, just thinks that Grindelwald and Dumbledore have some unspeakable conspiracy in private, and that Grindelwald was seconded to Dumbledore.
Because there were indeed quite a few young wizards on that ship. If they were really on Dumbledore's side, how could he be at ease allowing so many of his students to go out to sea under the leadership of a professor?
Therefore, all the guesses made by Rabastan were based on the premise that Jon’s current identity was a professor at Durmstrang.
Even under this premise, Jon's various spellcasting performances were a bit too disappointing.
The other Death Eaters present could see that these people's magic level was at most that of ordinary adult wizards. Even some students who had just graduated from magic school with excellent grades were better than John.
A professor in a normal magic school, a wizard with such strange methods, are his magical skills limited to this?
Rabastan felt that there must be something wrong here. After his reminder, the other Death Eaters also felt that there must be something wrong here!
They became more careful in casting spells and dodging Jon's spells.
Even though some of John's spells were obviously unable to break the Shield Charm on them, the Death Eaters tried their best to dodge them, in case there was something fishy about this seemingly ordinary Petrification Spell.
Naturally, John also found that the pressure on himself was much less than before. These Death Eaters became timid, which made him curl up a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He glanced obscurely at Rabastan who was surrounded by the crowd, and silently counted in his heart how long the effect of his polyjuice potion could last.
Under normal circumstances, that bottle of medicine would last for at least 12 hours of transformation, but Jon only took a sip, which was less than one-tenth of the amount in the bottle.
The effect of the medicine will then weaken in about an hour. Counting from the time he met Rabastan and drank the medicine, the time is about the same now.
Just as Jon's robe was swept by the strong wind, and the whole person flew across the sea at low altitude like a cannonball, once again avoiding the Death Eater's killing curse, he was about to raise the wand in his hand to fight back.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the big hand holding the magic wand was undergoing subtle but extremely rapid changes!
The originally rough and large palms began to become delicate and slender, and the sweater and lining that were very tight on the body a few seconds ago began to become loose.
Jon felt the beard on his face disappearing, his previously messy hair starting to become smooth, and his body becoming lighter.
He changed into his true appearance!
This change did not interrupt his counterattack, but because of the impact of his body deformation, the accuracy of his explosive curse was extremely off, and the nearest Death Eater was at least five or six meters away!
All of his changes were seen by Rabastan and other Death Eaters.
A middle-aged wizard with a rough appearance, thick hair and a deep voice turned into a boy who looked no more than 15 years old right before their eyes!
Rabastan froze.
A sense of absurdity arose in his mind, it felt like the world had changed. He had been in France for so long, and it was absurd that the next generation of little wizards in Britain were actually monsters.
As an elite Death Eater, there was no way he didn't recognize the changes that had just taken place in John. These were obviously the effects that would only appear after the Polyjuice Potion had worn off.
So, there wasn't actually a single legitimate adult wizard on that ship?
The person who has been fighting with them for so long, and even made five of his men lose their ability to fight from the beginning to now, is just a kid who hasn't even graduated from magic school?
After figuring all this out, Rabastan came to his senses and his expression instantly became as gloomy as water.
What he felt most was not humiliation, but... an indescribable fear.
At the moment, Rabastan is actually feeling the same horror as those villain elders in most fantasy novels when they see the young and promising protagonist.
He has already grown to this level at this age. If we give him more time, when he grows up, then...
This child must not be kept!
Rabastan had a ruthless look on his face, but at the same time, he had finally solved the puzzle that had plagued him for a long time.
That's why even after fighting for so long, John still hasn't killed them. When he tried to fight back against the Unforgivable Curse, the Explosive Curse, the Hidden Strike, and ordinary spells like the Petrification Curse, they were all so ineffective!
What a bullshit conspiracy!
It’s obvious that this kid doesn’t know how to do it!
The Unforgivable Curse seems to be very common among dark wizards, but it is ultimately the highest level of dark magic and not something that anyone can easily learn.
What's more, John still looks so young, and the other spells he cast seem so immature. If he can really improve his spellcasting to the same level as these well-trained elites in such a short time, then Rabastan will have to doubt whether his youthful appearance is just a fake skin like a nesting doll!
