Chapter 60

Harry ducked through the underbrush as he looked for the source. He'd just reached the clearing near the Black Lake, the one that was a favorite for students that wanted to indulge in activities of the more lascivious kind.

The sight that greeted him was a…strange one, to say the least. In the center of the clearing stood a huge horde of zombies.

No.

Horde was the wrong word, the appropriate term was an army. For they were exactly that. Together as one, they slammed their feet into the ground, all together, once again generating the massive crack of sound that had led Harry here.

Harry was slightly relieved. He could take zombies. At least it wasn't a dragon or something. He pulled out his wand and readied an Incendio spell, waiting for them to attack.

But they weren't poised to attack him, no. Instead, they were facing inwards. Harry watched as all the zombies crawled onto and over each other, working as if they were one single sentient organism, climbing and riding each other as they slowly fused into one giant monster that stood at over 30 feet tall, tall as the length of the longest Hogwarts greenhouse. With fear starting to set in, Harry cast observe.

Legion Zombie,

Lv-34

HP:15200/15200

MP: 1200/1200

Str- 82

Vit- 30

Dex-8

Int-4

Wis-2

Luc-0

An assembly of zombies that come out when a large amount of zombies are killed. It has insane strength and stamina but is slow. Some say that is if you kill enough of these Legion Zombies there is an even higher level of enemies of face.

Kill to get- 5000 Exp.

Harry knew that he didn't really stand a chance against this thing. His MP bar was full now, but he still needed more mana to even begin to fight this thing. There was only one thing left to do.

So Harry turned and ran.

As long as he was inside Hogwarts wards, his most powerful weapon, the Wardstone Perk, was entirely useless. The only way to win, was to get out of the wards. And so, he kept running on and on, with the giant zombie lumbering closer and closer behind him, crushing trees and rocks under its feet, until he felt a sinking pressure fall upon him, judging him before letting him through.

With his fingers crossed, Harry activated his perk.

Ping!

Wardstone perk activated!

Grants +1000 HP and +1000 MP when activated it at the cost of -25 MP per minute. All wounds are healed. All ailments cured. +20 Str,+20 Vit, +20 Dex.

'Yes!'

Harry readied himself and waited until the Legion zombie was right on top of him. The second the zombie put a foot out of the Hogwarts ward line, Harry pulled his hands upwards and pooled massive amounts of his mana in his hands and concentrating with all his will, he yelled, "RUNIC BURST!"

It was his first time using this particular attack, which was why it took him by surprise.

Dozens of rune-inscribed discs of light appeared all around the Legion Zombie and from within themselves, let loose a barrage of their respective spells onto the massive zombie orgy fest. Harry recognized multiple Incendios, Flipendos, Lapifies and Mucus ad Nauseums in the multicolored blasts of the attacks. The spells did an almost devastating amount of physical damage on the zombie. The Flipendos put it off balance and Lapifies rigidified parts of its exterior making it even slower. The Incendios were the most devastating as they burnt off Legion's foot at its knee, absolutely destroying its mobility. The Legion zombie toppled over onto the ground.

Harry lowered his arms and started to pant. The spell was powerful sure, but it used up mana to its fullest, and it had taken a lot out of him. He pulled up his stat screen and looked at his mana.

Mana: 35/1250

Harry had used all his mana in the last attack. It was going to take him almost 10 minutes to get it back up to full again, but Harry didn't know whether he had that much time left. He then turned to the Legion's HP.

HP:12260/15200

Harry stumbled and almost fell down in shock. All that for nothing? The creature's HP was still at a solid 80% of its total. Harry's attack barely managed to take out 20% of its total HP!

The Legion tried to stand up on one leg, only to immediately fall down causing the ground to rumble on the impact. At least it was slower now, Harry thought with relief. He moved back away from the reach of the Legion. If maybe he kept out of its reach for a long enough time, time enough for his Mana to fill up again, then he could end this quickly.

For the next ten minutes, Harry kept moving back and dodging, again and again, every time the Legion tried to reach for him, the fact that he was incredibly slow and had only one leg helped a lot. Eventually, Harry's mana was charged up fully again. Quickly hatching an idea for a new attack, Harry stood in the middle of a stream that flowed through the forest and he raised his hands again, this time for an elemental attack. This time, Harry aimed for the Legion's head.
