Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

"Hu~ hu~"

Accompanied by two invisible blades whistling away, the passage that had been opened by the Disarming Charm inside the thick fog quickly healed up again.

The tactic that Link came up with on the spot was simple and efficient.

Under the circumstance where vision was blocked, Link didn't believe that the normal Lockhart could detect and block his Disarming Charm. Let alone the fact that Link had also hidden two Silent Sectumsempras behind the Disarming Charm.

This wasn't Link underestimating Lockhart, but a conclusion deduced and analyzed based on Lockhart's usual performance.

However, the current Lockhart clearly wasn't normal.

Then, the outcome next would depend on how much help Tom Riddle's diary could give Lockhart.

Thinking so, the blue light in Link's eyes greatly intensified, and with the help of the Super Sensory Charm, he carefully observed the scene inside the mist.

At the same time, the audience below had already fallen into chaos.

These students watching the show had just witnessed Link's "atrocity" in the morning, and now encountered this large-scale "explosive attack", naturally they scattered and fled.

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall finally couldn't sit still anymore.

She forcefully shook off Snape's hand, flicked her wand, and a fierce gust of wind instantly blew away the surrounding steam.

The figures of Link and Lockhart gradually appeared.

At this moment, Lockhart still maintained the previous appearance of calm and unhurried, as if nothing in this world could fluster him in the slightest.

But in the next moment, a streak of red light flickering with electric sparks suddenly darted out from the remaining steam.

"Protego!"

Lockhart's pupils shrank sharply, and he instinctively raised his wand.

Boom!

The crimson Disarming Charm slammed hard into the translucent shield.

Unlike ordinary spells, it wasn't bounced off, but kept clashing and deadlocked with the shield.

Under its effect, many fine cracks appeared on the originally perfect surface of the shield. At the central contact point between the two sides, faint "crack" "crack" sounds of shattering glass could be heard.

However, the Disarming Charm, having lost Link's continued magic power support, ultimately was just water without a source. After struggling for a moment, it finally dissipated in front of Lockhart.

"Phew~" Seeing this, Lockhart let out a long breath of turbid air.

Link's attack just now had really scared him. After quickly adjusting his emotions, that signature smile reappeared on Lockhart's face.

He prepared to praise Link a few words to highlight his own strength, in order to show off in front of the students.

This was also the main reason why he held this public lesson.

However, before Lockhart could speak, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Replacing it was a slightly strange and stiff expression.

Buzz!

Without Lockhart chanting anything, multiple fresh translucent shields layered upon the previous shield, forming a solid wall.

In the next second, Link's Silent Sectumsempra engraved itself onto the shield wall.

Under the effect of the high-level lv5 invisible blades, the first layer of the shield was instantly sliced to pieces, followed by the second, third…

Seeing that as many as seven or eight layers of shields were about to be cut through, a surge of powerful magical glow suddenly burst out from Lockhart's body.

Under the power of this force, the final remaining layer of the translucent shield instantly solidified, rigidly locking the invisible blade onto the surface of the shield.

"Ha~"

After dispelling the now fully cracked translucent shield, Lockhart once again grinned.

But now his smile had completely lost the earlier hypocrisy and exaggeration, what remained was only ferocity and evil.

Seeing this, Link also laughed. Unlike others, with the Super Sensory Charm activated, he could see more clearly.

Right now, Lockhart's whole body was shrouded in a powerful dark gray magic power.

This magic power was quite eerie; just one glance, and Link could sense the intense malice and ominousness inside.

"Continue?" Lockhart spoke.

And Link's answer was extremely simple.

"Sectumsempra!"

"Tempest Jinx!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang out in the Great Hall.

Mixed in were various vague incantations and the "whoosh whoosh" of spells flying.

In an instant, Link and Lockhart seemed to have gone mad, frenziedly pouring out their magic power. Countless spells shot out from the tips of their wands, collided midair, and finally bloomed into bursts of brilliant fireworks.

The students in the Great Hall, who had already been calmed down by Professor McGonagall, were stunned.

Especially those lower-year young wizards, it was their first time experiencing such intense combat.

At the same time, Professor McGonagall's face turned green from rage.

The Great Hall was big, but still an indoor space. In such an environment, the spells fired by Link and Lockhart had a high chance of becoming ricochets and injuring other students.

"Stop! This instant!" Professor McGonagall said through gritted teeth.

As she finished speaking, countless giant rocky hands grew out from under Lockhart's feet and tightly bound him.

Seeing this, Link immediately found it amusing. This move of Professor McGonagall's, favoring one side, was simply perfect.

Thinking so, Link prepared to attack again, but unfortunately, on the other side, Snape also acted.

"Finite Incantatem Maxima!"

Countless silver-flashing "ribbons" suddenly sprayed out from Snape's wand tip.

They floated slowly in the air as if they were alive and eventually wrapped around Link.

Then Link froze. These "ribbons" had no physical form, so they couldn't restrict his movements at all.

But somehow, after being entangled by them, he couldn't cast spells anymore.

"The farce must stop." Snape said coldly.

Seeing Snape truly angry, Link didn't hesitate, he immediately withdrew his wand.

On the other side, Lockhart once again put on that exaggerated smile, looked around the hall, and said, "Wow! Looks like our public lesson encountered some unexpected events and has to be cut short."

As he spoke, he even gave a difficult bow to the audience below, "But I think our teaching content has already been plenty. Tell me loudly, what did you think of today's public lesson?"

As soon as this was said, the students who had been in shock suddenly snapped out of it.

Immediately, thunderous cheers and applause filled the entire hall. To these students, today's "performance" had truly been a satisfying spectacle.

An intoxicated expression appeared on Lockhart's face. To him, this scene was his lifelong pursuit. As long as he could gain people's admiration and pursuit, he was willing to give up everything.

But seeing this, Link just shook his head.

With the help of the Super Sensory Charm, he could clearly sense that Lockhart's overall life force was already significantly weakened.

This meant that Lockhart had now become another Quirrell. A "dry battery" being wantonly drained of life energy by Tom Riddle.

As the true person involved, Link didn't believe Lockhart couldn't sense the changes in his own body. Right now, he was just lying to himself.

"What a guy who'd rather have fame than life." With this faint remark, Link followed Snape and left the Great Hall first.
