Based on John's fighting situation at this time, it is actually difficult to describe it as "difficult". Because compared to the opposite Brooks, his own strength is still enough to ensure that he always has the upper hand - even if there is an experienced dark wizard standing behind the opponent, using the influence of the Soul Imperius Curse to vaguely control Brooks Which side of this battle is going.
And perhaps it was precisely because he had seen through this that the Shtabe boy standing at the rear did not pay too much attention to the brotherly duel in front of him.
Of course, the alien boy was not unclear in his heart. If he could help John more, the stalemate at that moment would obviously be easily resolved.
But he couldn't, because he knew better that in the half-open room at the end of the corridor, there was an enemy who needed his full attention and could not be disrespected for a moment, secretly watching.
The animal nature originating from his bloodline was constantly releasing warning signs, making him unwilling to move his eyes away from the door of the room for even a second, so that when he just smashed the little snake to death for John, he just The attack direction is judged by peripheral vision.
The boy had a hunch in his heart that as long as his focus left the door, even for just a moment, the situation here would undergo unpredictable drastic changes. In fact, the Shitabe boy has always firmly remembered that the place he is now is the enemy's territory!
Fortunately, the most important thing for the Shitabe tribe is patience... At this moment when the situation is still not clear, he can wait and wait for the other party to come out and "tell" him what to do next.
However, the premise is of course that John can win this battle that belongs to him by his own ability, or at least, the longer he can hold on, the better.
…
"boom!"
It can be said that John did not disappoint the foreign boy behind him.
The family's evaluation of him is correct. He may indeed be an outstanding wizard who can accurately seize opportunities in on-the-spot battles and make full use of his strength. Even though he was still young at that time, his talents in the application of combat spells and his own spiritual will had already vaguely emerged.
Facing his younger brother, whom he had always loved very much in the past but was now being controlled by a dark wizard to attack him, after the initial restraint and embarrassment passed, he already understood what he should do.
Even if it is for Brooks's own good, he should no longer miss the opportunity with restraint, even if it is very likely to injure the opponent, he should take action with all his strength!
So, when he once again caught Brooks' habitual loophole in returning the stick to defend, John did not hesitate like the previous times, but decisively thrust out the tip of the stick.
The time was short and there was no room for him to accurately control the intensity of the spell, so John's spell suddenly became sharper. A crimson arc of magic light was seen across the distance that was no longer far away like lightning. It suddenly passed by the side of Brooks's wand that he had just backhand to use the Iron Armor Curse to defend, and landed hard on the center of the opponent's chest.
However, John still had reservations in the end, and he still chose a coma spell that was not very lethal.
Then, Brooks's not-so-tall figure flew out diagonally and hit the wall on one side of the corridor. After scraping against the wall and knocking down several paintings, it rolled and landed on the floor.
John did not relax, because he was not sure whether this stun spell could completely disable Brooks's combat effectiveness, making him unable to get up again and continue to fight back in a short period of time.
After a few seconds of silence, the Shtabe boy from behind gave the answer he wanted most at the moment:
"He fainted temporarily, but he should be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, before John could turn around, he found that the young man had already walked to his side, and then without stopping, he stood in front of him again as he had done at the beginning.
"But," the young man said without looking back, "it's best not to go there right now."
Because of the impact of John's coma spell just now, Brooks fell down not too far from the door of the room at the end. If you wanted to check his state at this time, you would undoubtedly put yourself in danger. John actually knows this very well, so even if the Shitabe boy doesn't say anything, he won't go there for the time being... Even if what he wants to do most now is to take the unconscious Brooks to his side, or even just hold him and leave this place. Damn damn place.
Just when John was looking at the door at the other end of the corridor with a little trouble, a hand suddenly stretched out from the inside of the door and placed it on the half-open door. Then, as that old-looking hand opened the door a little, the mysterious old man who had been hiding inside since the beginning finally walked out.
Not only that, but at the corner leading to the dungeon in the middle of the corridor, several figures also walked out, causing John's pupils to shrink and his eyelids to twitch suddenly.
Fortunately, the Shitabe boy in front of him remained as calm as ever, and just said in a calm tone:
"It's the same weird wizard again."
In the eyes of this foreign boy, humans who can use magical power may be similar, and the difference is only in strength and weakness, but in fact this is not the case. Currently, only one of the adults walking out of the corner is a real wizard, and the others are just ordinary children who have been inspired by the power of the Obscurus by malice, not even the little wizards.
But no matter how you put it, the situation in front of you is obviously extremely bad.
"Two dark wizards and three Obscurials," John whispered, "What should we do?"
As soon as he asked this question, the young man in front immediately gave the answer:
"escape."
It is obvious that although the Shtabe boy is very strong, he is not strong enough to face such a battle head-on. In his current state, it was difficult to deal with even the three Obscurials, let alone the mysterious abbot standing at the door looking calmly at the back.
To be honest, even if they wanted to escape, neither of them had any plans. The boy would say this, just to set an irreversible tone for the next course of action.
But soon, an old voice came from the other end, erasing the idea of an unplanned retreat for the two of them.
"There's no need to run away," the old man smiled. After looking at the Shitabe boy again, he looked at John calmly and said, "Is your name John Stewart? Boy, do it for me. One thing, and actually I don't mind letting you leave safely... Yes, don't worry, don't be anxious, of course this can also include your brother Brooks Stewart."
