The changes in London came earlier than Maka imagined.
He originally thought that Haierbo might choose to take action on the day the meteorite fell, but judging from the current state of Kingsley being chased by something, it seemed that the other party couldn't wait any longer.
"Go this way!"
It is definitely unwise to fight a mysterious enemy in the fog in London - because of the thick fog, not only can they not see what the opponent is, but they may even cause accidental injuries to innocent Muggles.
Of course, if necessary, Kingsley would not hesitate to fight with his staff.
When he vaguely saw himself passing by the entrance of an alley, Kingsley suddenly reversed his steps. Before diving into the alley, he didn't even forget about his Auror teammate and gave him a backhand hand.
"Captain, thank you..."
"Sh-"
Kingsley raised his index finger to his mouth, silenced his teammates, and peeked out of the alley. Through the fog, he could see a shadow passing not far away, chasing him in the direction he ran before.
It seems that although those mysterious enemies can move freely in the fog, the fog will still have a certain impact on their vision or perception.
At least, the other party didn't notice the turn Kingsley took with his teammates just now.
"Captain... what was that just now? It looked... like a human?"
After waiting for the figure to pass by, the Auror teammate asked with lingering fear.
However, Kingsley obviously didn't know that either.
"In short, it seems that they have no desire to attack others. As long as you don't provoke them like before... huh? There's another one over there."
As he was talking, he suddenly noticed something walking out of the alley. The unhurried footsteps made the two people hiding at the entrance of the alley pause for a moment.
"Let's try... Don't make a sound, don't move, just stand still!"
After another warning, the two people immediately stood motionless against the wall, and then silently waited for the owner of the heavy footsteps to come slowly towards them.
One step... another step, getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, a strange wizard walked through the fog and wandered past the two Kingsleys. Just looking at the other person's lost look, Martin would definitely feel a strange sense of familiarity if he saw it.
And just as Kingsley had judged before, this kind of lost wizard does not seem to actively attack people. As long as you carefully close your mouth and don't make a sound, the other party will selectively ignore you.
Not long after, the wizard, who was obviously controlled by some magic, shuffled out of the alley and disappeared into the gray mist again.
To be honest, it would be great if we could not fight, but...
But if that's the case, what's the point of someone turning them into this and letting them wander around in the dense fog in London
"Let's go!" Kingsley waved his hand and said, "It seems that there are still many things we need to figure out... For example, are they interested in Muggles?"
However, just when Kingsley called his companions to go to the street outside the alley, he found that the unconscious wizard just turned around and came back!
And at such a close distance, no matter how fast Kingsley reacts, it is difficult to avoid being discovered by the opponent. Immediately, I heard him say without looking back:
"Walk!"
Before he finished speaking, he and his Auror teammate activated the Disapparation Spell almost at the same time - and immediately after, the space around them suddenly distorted.
But in the next moment, the spatial distortion that had not yet completely unfolded immediately subsided.
Apparition actually failed!
"Is it the mist?"
This thought only flashed through his mind, and Kingsley had no time to think about it because the wizard had already started to attack him.
However, he saw that the other party did not recite the curse at all, but just raised his hand, and an invisible impact came quickly towards Kingsley. Although the latter reacted quickly, he could only barely throw himself on the ground, avoiding being knocked away by a blow.
At this moment, Kingsley's powerful dueling talent suddenly became apparent.
They saw that although he fell to the ground, his attention was still on the enemy and he was not distracted at all. As soon as he fell to the ground, his wand was already pointed at the other party, and a powerful stun spell went straight to the wizard's head.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound. The other party did not show too much exaggerated resistance to magic, but it was obviously quite different from ordinary people. Kingsley's stun spell caused the wizard to fall to the ground, but the wizard then slowly got up from the ground.
Like Kingsley, the guy didn't forget to continue attacking when he fell - another impact came at high speed again.
But of course, Kingsley did what he did because of his wisdom and hard work. His rich combat experience made him understand that he must always maintain his own rhythm in combat, so that he can guide himself to victory step by step.
But the other party also did that, seemingly out of an instinct to attack.
After all, the wizard had lost his sense of self and probably didn't even know what he was doing, let alone have any combat experience.
The next moment, Kingsley stood up first and was about to cast another spell. But at this moment, a spell of brilliance suddenly flashed behind him, and then an invisible protective shield appeared in front of him.
Obviously, his teammate is a genuine Auror after all, and all those trainings to cooperate in combat are not in vain!
At that moment, Kingsley, who was under the Iron Armor Curse, temporarily ignored it. He immediately gave up the Obstacle Curse that he was about to cast, and silently recited the second Stunning Curse again.
With a layer of protection as a base, it was obvious that he no longer needed to use control spells to make time for himself.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
There were two consecutive collisions. Although the opponent's magic was blocked by the Iron Armor Curse, the intensity of the magic was somewhat beyond Kingsley's expectations. It was blocked, but the residual impact force still made him unable to stand, and he fell to the ground again.
Fortunately, the wizard on the other side was much worse than him. He was directly knocked out by the high-intensity stun spell he had accumulated strength, and hit the street lamp heavily.
"clang-"
Kingsley didn't have time to think too much, so he waved his staff again and conjured a large bundle of magic ropes to tie up the opponent on the spot.
"Let's go, it's enough to catch one of them. Maybe we can dig something out of him—"
Before he finished speaking, his teammate couldn't help but whispered:
"Captain, there's no way to use Apparition here... I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for the time being."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Kingsley immediately followed his teammates' gaze and looked around.
To be honest, he didn't need to look too carefully, because the surrounding fog seemed to be full of shadowy figures, at least five or six!
"Where did these guys come from?"
It must be said that these opponents that appeared in London this time are undoubtedly far less difficult to deal with than the dark magical creatures that appeared during the last London disaster.
These wizards lack self-will and have very strong spells, but overall they are still just a group of ordinary wizards. If it was just one-on-one... No, even if it was one versus two, Kingsley didn't feel like he would lose.
But the biggest difference between this time and the enemies from the last time is not the difference between strong and weak.
To be honest, these wizards are also wizards, and they are most likely innocent people who were forced to be controlled. Under such circumstances, Kingsley did not want to be cruel at all unless necessary.
After all, he, Kingsley Shacklebolt, was an Auror after all, wasn't he
"Prepare to break out."
He cautiously raised his wand and said to his companions behind him without looking back:
"We have already discovered the enemy and tried to fight with the enemy once, let alone captured one. Therefore, there is no need to continue to entangle with them at the moment... "
"Want to leave? You have to ask me first! Fall down for me—"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the depths of the mist, followed by a dazzling cursed light. Upon seeing this, Kingsley immediately jumped to the side while waving his wand, avoiding this powerful spell.
The magic spell was slightly deflected by Kingsley's swing of the wand, and then landed on a shop glass not far behind him, immediately shattering the entire window with a crash.
"Oh, the response is quite fast! As expected of the current head of the Auror Office..."
As the sound got closer and closer, a short figure walked out of the gray fog. He saw that the tip of the opponent's wand was still pointing faintly in Kingsley's direction, as if he would cast the next spell at any time.
"Although I don't know who you are, but... you'd better not get caught," Kingsley said calmly, "I think you should also know that just by your appearance, you have violated several confidentiality provisions. This is a serious regulation of the Act.”
"Hey, do you want to put me in Azkaban? Well... I think you might as well give it a try..."
Needless to say, the identity of this short wizard was obvious even though his head and face were covered by his cloak. Not only is he an apprentice under Haierbo, but he is also a supervisor who has gained more favor from Haierbo.
It's a pity that because Haierbo has done such a good job of keeping it secret, not many people know about it at present.
And while the short wizard continued to make provocations unscrupulously, Kingsley also smiled softly.
"'Try it'? Okay -" he was saying, but suddenly shook his head, "Do you think I would say that? No, I am not a fool, so I won't... go! The other side... "
Kingsley has never been a person who only knows how to abide by the rules. When he saw that there were so many subordinates around the other party, how could he fall for such a low-level provocation
"Don't worry about anything else, just continue to break out!"
