At this moment, Hermione seemed to be wearing a 3D Maneuver Gear, leaping around on the back of the Hornet Dragon with astonishing agility.
No matter how it tumbles, struggles, or flaps its wings,
Hermione always manages to land her attacks on areas where her opponent is weak, her multi-strengthened claws slashing and leaving trails of blood.
Each bloodstain didn't appear deep, leaving only a small amount of blood.
But little by little, the fire dragon soon became covered in wounds.
Hermione herself was not unharmed in the process.
The tree bee dragon's barbed tail lashed out like a whip, leaving a bloody gash on her chest.
But she didn't care; she simply used her wand to slightly heal her wounds and attacked again.
Finally, the tree bee dragon realized the little guy was in trouble.
It roared and began to spread its wings and fly high, then twisted in mid-air while spewing flames, trying to throw the person on its back off.
But Hermione did not give in. She stretched out her claws with all her might, digging deep into the flesh of the tree bee dragon, and the claws sank deeper and deeper.
The sharp claws, like barbs, held her firmly to the dragon's back, refusing to let go no matter what.
Fresh blood continued to flow from the wound.
Tree Bee Dragon felt itself growing weaker and weaker.
Finally, unable to withstand the constant damage, it weakly plummeted downwards and crashed heavily to the ground.
Centered on it, wisps of dust rose up all around.
The audience was deathly silent, and Ludo Bagman's mouth was agape, forgetting to give his commentary.
But the referees didn't urge them on, because they were also in a daze, with different expressions and incredibly interesting reactions.
Levin calmly poured himself a glass of fruit wine and waved it towards the fire dragon.
It seems like they are celebrating Hermione's victory.
The image shows a cat-like figure.
Chapter 323: Diverting trouble to the east
Hermione, under the watchful eyes of everyone, faced a Hungarian Hornet Dragon alone, calmly and collectedly engaging in a thrilling duel with the Hornet Dragon, ultimately achieving a near-kill.
This scene shocked every audience member present.
They stared wide-eyed at what they were seeing, unable to believe their eyes.
This was also the first time Hermione had shown her true strength in public.
The young wizards who had always doubted her suddenly realized that the Goblet of Fire was the right choice. Hermione was just good at academics and didn't show off her strength. Who would have thought that she was hiding such great power?
As expected of Miss Know-It-All
Everyone thought that among the young wizards at Hogwarts, her wisdom and magical skills were second only to Levin Grimm.
Even so, to say that she truly possesses the strength to slay a dragon would be an exaggeration.
Of the magic she possesses, few can penetrate dragon scales and inflict serious damage.
Hermione was able to injure the dragon entirely because of her Animagus transformation ability.
As a magical creature, the cat's claws and teeth possessed cursed power, which was capable of damaging the fire dragon's hide.
With the addition of magic, it gained the power to threaten the fire dragon.
But all things considered, whether Hermione's strength comes from the magic of Animagus or some other factor, her abilities have been widely recognized.
Under Levin's careful guidance, her combat skills, magical prowess, and mental fortitude have all reached a considerably high level.
The only thing she lacked was magic.
Hermione was, after all, an underage wizard. Even with the help of elemental potions, her magic had not reached its peak, and she lacked the power to break through the fire dragon's magic resistance.
Her low magic power limited her combat ability.
Even so, she was no longer an ordinary junior wizard, nor could she be compared to a normal adult wizard.
Therefore, the audience, upon witnessing this scene, all stood up excitedly, their eyes glued to the arena and the live broadcast of the illusion, eager to see more clearly whether Hermione could truly kill the fire dragon.
However, the result was not as expected.
The fire dragon's vitality is much stronger than people imagine.
Unless he directly cuts open the fire dragon's main artery, the amount of blood loss would not be enough to kill it immediately.
But the numerous small cuts covering its entire body undoubtedly caused the tree bee dragon immense pain, causing it to roll on the ground and let out deafening roars.
After regaining some strength,
The tree bee dragon spread its wings again and took flight, once more trying to shake the small insect off its back.
However, halfway through the flight, Hermione seized the opportunity, nimbly leaping onto the right wing of the Treebee Dragon, and then suddenly grabbing at the wing membrane.
Compared to its thick back, the fire dragon's wing membranes were relatively fragile, and they were torn open with four or five long gashes in one go.
The tree bee dragon cried out in pain, unable to maintain its flight.
Just then, the Swedish Brachyrhinosaurus was positioned to its right front of its flight path.
Then, everyone witnessed a thrilling scene:
The tree-bee dinosaur, as if in a plane crash, wobbled and crashed into the Swedish short-nosed dinosaur.
Having lost his teammates, Krum was left to fight the Swedish short-nosed dragon alone.
He attempted to use the "Eye Disease Curse" to blind the Swedish short-nosed dragon, hoping to steal the golden egg.
At this point, he had already succeeded halfway.
The Swedish Brachynotaurus was blind in one eye, and Krum took the opportunity to run into its blind spot to avoid being attacked by the enraged Brachynotaurus.
Just then, a roar came from overhead.
Both he and Polyakov looked up abruptly, stunned. It was a Hungarian horn bee dragon flying across the sky.
The Swedish short-nosed saurus on the ground also sensed something was wrong. It turned around and tried to spread its wings and fly away to avoid the hornet saurus that was about to crash into it.
However, the loss of vision in one side greatly reduces its judgment and motor skills.
It had just taken off when it collided head-on with the tree bee dragon.
The two fire dragons collided and fell to the ground.
The ground shook violently and cracked, tearing out a pattern resembling a spider web.
The air seemed to freeze.
Enraged by this undeserved calamity, the Swedish short-nosed dinosaur launched a direct attack on the tree bee dinosaur.
The poor tree bee dragon was first slashed by Hermione's sword, and then fell to the ground twice.
At this moment, he was attacked by his companions.
It was hit by a ferocious shoulder strike and sent flying a great distance.
But it finally realized the little bug on its back was gone, and suddenly became ferocious, tearing at the Swedish short-nosed dragon.
Polyakov also saw the two fire dragons heading towards the river. He, who had been terrified, immediately regained some courage.
After observing carefully and confirming that the two fire dragons were truly engrossed in their battle and completely unaware of him, he immediately ran towards the dragon's nest.
If you don't seize this opportunity now, when will you?
Sure enough, he saw two golden eggs in the dragon's nest.
He rushed over, wanting to pick up the golden egg, but immediately stopped.
A figure flashed by, and a woman covered in blood, half-human and half-cat, appeared in front of him.
Hermione wiped the dragon blood off her face, bent down to pick up the two golden eggs, shrunk them, and put them in her bosom.
Just as he was about to leave, Polyakov couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Hermione turned her head, gently licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, and asked softly, "Is something the matter?"
Polyakov blushed, as if he had used up all his courage, and trembled as he said, "That's... my golden egg!"
Hermione said "Oh," lifted her round cat chin, and smiled, "Not anymore... Do you have a problem with that?"
Polyakov cried out, his voice trembling with emotion, "No!"
"So...goodbye."
Hermione touched the ground with her toes, turned lightly, and leaped four or five meters away, disappearing in a few swift movements.
Polyakov collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Only then did Krum arrive.
He watched Hermione's departing figure in silence.
One of the two eggs that were taken away was his!
The battle between the two fire dragons also affected Hibiscus.
Prior to this, Fleur used her charm magic to hypnotize the Welsh green dragon, while Estella used the Disillusionment Charm to steal the golden egg.
Unlike the original timeline, this time it was two against one, so Hibiscus didn't need to hypnotize the fire dragon while trying to steal the egg. Her attention was more focused, and the hypnotic effect was more reliable.
Since Esdale is able to use the Disguise Charm, she is naturally more discreet than Hibiscus in the original timeline.
Therefore, the entire egg-stealing plan was perfect, without any unexpected events like those in the original timeline.
This is how it should be...
Levin's newly designed rules do indeed give the Warriors an advantage in teamwork against the Fire Dragons.
However, they also had to face other unexpected events.
Just as Estella was about to successfully retrieve the two golden eggs, the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon and the Hungarian Tree Bee Dragon, while fighting, pounced towards them.
Estella cried out in despair and turned to run away without a second thought, not daring to pick up the golden egg.
It must be said that this girl's skill level may not be particularly high, but she is certainly very decisive.
As the intense dragon roar and scorching dragon breath drew ever closer, the Welsh green dragon instantly snapped out of its hypnotic state.
