In the eyes of modern wizards, the Shitabe tribe's fighting style is somewhat too rough and barbaric. However, it was precisely that cold-blooded and ruthless nature that resembled that of a wild beast. When faced with the Obscurus, who became confused and almost collapsed as soon as he entered a fighting state, he at least did not fall behind in terms of emotions before the battle.
In comparison, although John was quite talented in magic, he could be said to be extremely powerful when casting spells at this time. However, in the fierce and chaotic battle between the alien boy and the two Obscurials, he obviously felt that he was unable to intervene. . When he finally got the chance several times, he could only use his best deformation technique to counterattack for a while. The rest of the time, he either fended off the black mist coming toward him or occasionally found time to replace Nashta Bei. The young man from the tribe cast a barrier spell or something like that to assist.
From this point of view, what the Shitabe boy just said was indeed correct. John's curse could at most only "help" him a little when necessary. The reason why this counterattack was possible was ultimately due to his own strength.
But that's true.
Before this, this foreign boy was able to fend off so many enemies for Tia on his own, and he was able to escape afterwards. Although it was precisely because of the excessive consumption of that battle that the remaining two Obscuras were fighting all the way here, with the help of John, they were still able to launch a counterattack.
Before this, John and the Aurors behind him were not very aware of the young man's fighting ability, but as the counterattack unfolded, the power of the Shitabe boy was finally revealed.
"Bang!"
The snake's tail transformed from his right arm suddenly passed through the air in the corridor, and hit a group of black mist hard. Although it failed to accurately hit the core that was rushing around inside the mist, it still It also caused it to stagnate for an instant, and the fog faintly dispersed.
However, the young man did not take advantage of this opportunity to pursue him, because another Obscurial had already rushed towards him from the side.
It is obviously difficult for the Obscurus to maintain a clear consciousness in battle, but after some extreme training and training by the "dean", it seems that he has the ability to cooperate to a certain extent with his companions who live with him day and night by instinct. . In this case, the Shitabe boy whose condition has declined seems to be unable to completely ignore the opponent's attack, and can only turn the snake's tail backhand to defend.
But he obviously didn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
"Upper right, that ball of sparks."
The childish voice sounded in front, but it contained a coldness and sharpness that was completely different from its appearance. When John heard this, he knew that the Nashtabe boy was talking to him, and the wand in his hand moved subconsciously.
"laugh-"
In an instant, a flash of fire flashed in the air, and then exploded violently in the black mist - it was a very powerful blasting spell, even for the silent black man who had already shown amazing ability to resist magic. The fog was blown away again in the upper right part where the alien boy indicated.
But whether it really hit the core, even John himself couldn't tell.
Fortunately, the next moment, he knew he had succeeded!
"ah-"
Another young boy's voice came out from the black mist. The sharp and harsh cry of pain made John and the Aurors waiting to fight frown. Immediately afterwards, they saw the black mist suddenly shrink and fall to the dilapidated ground in the corridor, and there was a faint tendency to return to human form.
But before everyone could react, the Obscurial boy who had transformed into a semi-human form of black mist turned his head and quickly escaped into the depths of the corridor out of everyone's sight.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The remaining Obscurial probably sensed the fleeing behavior of his companions. He, who was still entangled with the Shitabe boy, couldn't help but take action. Instead, the boy took the opportunity and slapped him three times in a row.
Although these three blows did not hit the core, he clearly had the intention to retreat. This time, he simply followed the force and turned around, gathered up the black mist and rushed back.
"Chase."
Although this Shitabe boy had already experienced two consecutive battles, and the consumption was obviously huge, he did not hesitate at the moment when he saw this. John, who was worried about Brooks, naturally nodded and followed after hearing this.
The group of Aurors who were still standing at the back were hesitant at the moment, but after the leader quickly sent one of their team members to retreat to apply for reinforcements, they all gritted their teeth and chased after them.
…
"You just said that Brooks was taken away... was he injured in any way?"
John tried his best to barely keep up with the fast-running young man, but the worry in his heart made him breathe unevenly, and he still couldn't help but ask about the situation when his brother was taken away.
"I wasn't hurt at the time," the Shitabe boy said calmly as he ran, "but I don't know after that... I can feel the malice in the hearts of those two wizards. Are you Brooks' brother? I think you'd better do some psychological work first. Prepare—you human wizards always like to think wildly at critical moments, and there will definitely be a more troublesome battle soon, so remember to stay calm."
"Well… "
John heard the reminder from the foreign boy and didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he could only pant and run forward desperately, but he didn't say anything more.
He knew that with the young man's strength and rationality, he would have to rely on the enemy to get Brooks back from the enemy's hands. At best, he would be just an addition.
However, after gradually calming down after listening to the young man's words, John couldn't help but secretly began to wonder why this Shitabe young man was willing to follow his brother Brooks out and go to such lengths to help him.
"Stop! Get out of here."
Suddenly, the running Shtabe boy suddenly stopped, causing John to almost bump into him. When John also stopped, he discovered that there was a trapdoor leading to the underground entrance in front of him. The two Obscurials who had escaped before had probably already gone down, but they didn't care in their haste, and the trap door remained open in the same state as when Tia came out.
John was stunned when he saw that the Shitabe boy had walked down the stairs very decisively. After looking down twice, he hurriedly followed him down the stairs.
But soon, when John arrived at the underground corridor, he discovered that the young man who came down first had stopped moving forward again. John looked over the young man's low head with doubts, and looked deep in the corridor in the direction where the young man stopped and stared.
"Brooks?"
