In fact, Slytherin's snake staff is not that great - at least it is definitely not comparable to the level of ancient relics of Gryffindor's sword. Not to mention, Salazar Slytherin didn't design it with the idea of making weapons.
In the final analysis, it is just a prop specially used to cast seal magic. It just happens to be able to guide and amplify the magic of the caster to a certain extent, which gives Enns the feeling that it can be used as a substitute for a wand. .
After all, it's not hard to guess when you think about where and under what circumstances he got it.
However, after all, this snake staff was carefully crafted and held by the famous wizard Salazar Slytherin thousands of years ago, and it was even sealed by the ancient dark wizard Helbo. Even if the amplification effect on the magic spell is only incidental, it is already enough to make people amazed even now.
"Collapse!"
At that moment, Enns suddenly swung his cane forward and read the incantation clearly. Immediately, several red arcs of light shot out from the snake's mouth on the head of the staff, and passed through several dazzling arcs with great force, falling towards the huge shadow that was pressing down on the bow of the ship.
Yes, the momentum alone is enough to surprise everyone.
But it is a pity that even if this snake staff has an extraordinary origin and is equally powerful, the actual effect of its use will depend on the actual situation. If you are too weak and the enemy is too strong, the excessive strength gap will completely wipe out the amplification effect!
Especially since Enns was clearly unaware of the enemy's existence.
"Bang! Bang! Bang—"
A series of fires exploded on the unknown shadow "octopus" one after another. Its power was obvious to everyone - the impact of the explosion caused the already tilting Change to shake a few times, causing everyone on the ship to shake. I couldn't help but be shocked again.
But when the flames dissipated, Snape and Alexander, who were located near the bow of the ship, discovered that the big guy was still completely unscathed.
Is it because I am not strong enough and my attacks are not strong enough? Or is it because I used the wrong spell
"...Or, both?"
Enns held the snake staff and stared at the huge enemy in the mist, feeling confused in his heart.
In fact, this seemed to be the first time that he had officially used Slytherin's gift in actual combat, but who knew that he immediately hit a wall in front of the cruel reality.
He no longer knew what to do next.
"What are you doing standing still! Go to the back, help others... and find a way to get as many students as possible to evacuate the Change together!"
Seeing that Enns was stunned because he made an angry move but had no success, Snape suddenly waved his wand, grabbed his clothes and threw him backwards.
"And you, Wolfe, you come over too!"
"So... Professor Snape, what about you?" Alexander couldn't help but ask.
"I?"
Snape frowned and said impatiently:
"After finishing what I promised to others, I can leave you annoying little guys at any time!"
…
When the deck was in chaos because the enemy finally appeared... To be honest, the cabin was not at all more reassuring than the outside.
The scream of the soul before could be heard by the entire ship... and even the entire nearby sea area. Right now, in Trelawney's room that Professor McGonagall had just visited, Muggle Studies Professor Bubbaji couldn't hold on and fainted after all. Trelawney, who was already asleep on the bed, fell off the bed because of the two large tilts of the ship's hull, and rolled to the corner of the room with the unconscious Bubbaji.
But under such circumstances, Mag, who had returned to the office, was just like the first time. Apart from the tilt of the ship's hull, he was still unaware of the terrifying scream.
"Maka... Maka... can you hear me? The Change is already in a huge crisis! If you can hear it, you'd better come to the rescue as soon as possible-"
At this moment, Mag was sitting behind the desk. Things in the entire office were scattered due to the continuous tilt of the entire ship. This allowed her to roughly understand without feeling the scream. What terrible threats are being faced outside.
And in her hand, a palm-sized oval stone slab was emitting a faint blue light, surrounded by a circle of ancient magic texts that flickered on and off, as if there was magic flowing in it all the time.
This is a stone-carved round mirror, a rune prop made by Maka herself before Maka and Hermione invented the rune cards. Since the technology is immature, there will be a certain degree of wear and tear every time it is used, so it is left here exclusively for emergency communications.
At least, that's what Maka told Mag at the time.
However, when the Change was really in danger, it was impossible to contact Maka. On the contrary... In fact, she has now begun to wonder if the reason why she did not suffer the soul scream attack like others was because of this stone mirror.
Yes, everything that's happening right now... seems a little too inexplicable.
"well!"
Putting the rune round mirror on the table, Mag frowned and thought for a while without gaining anything, and then sighed again.
She is no longer young now, and life and death are not things she cares about. But when she thought about the safety of so many students on the ship, she couldn't calm down.
"No... Anyway, let's use the door key to send some people out first... No matter how small the number is, the one who survives will count as one!"
She does have some door keys here, but because the Change itself can be easily transferred to various waters, the inventory is very small.
However…
"Crunch—"
Not knowing what was going on outside, the whole ship shook violently again, making Mag unable to hold back any longer. She didn't seem to care about the unknown situation surrounding herself. She stood up and wanted to leave the office again, taking the door key with her to go to the deck to rescue people.
But the moment she stood up, she saw a sudden flash of blue light on the table in front of her, and then a figure quietly appeared in front of her.
"Who are you?"
The opponent was very tall, but because he was wearing a larger hooded cloak, his entire body was covered, making it impossible for Mag to see the other person's appearance.
Only the bulging muscles and tall figure could not even be concealed by such a big cloak.
Immediately afterwards, the person who appeared inexplicably did not answer Mag's question. He turned around and decisively opened the door and walked out.
"etc!"
