509 Ivan: As Long As You Have Enough Trump Cards, No One Can Defeat Me!

Sirius, once again in his Animagus form, kept changing directions and sniffing around in the thick fog.

However, due to the battle that had just taken place, the air was filled with the smell of burnt wood, and it was not easy to distinguish the various smells accurately.

'Um, Lupin and Harry are about ten metres back… Weird, where's Ivan?' Sirius muttered to himself as he followed the smell that still lingered in the air, only to find no one there, so he guessed that Ivan might have stopped there.

As Sirius hesitated, his hair stood on end and a warning flashed across his mind.

Without hesitation, Sirius rolled a few times, following his instincts.

At the same time, a scarlet beam of light shot out of the fog on his side and hit him where he was standing, creating a crater in the wood.

Sirius's face fell, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, more beams of light flashed out of the fog.

Sirius broke out in a cold sweat and had to run in the opposite direction, occasionally changing directions, trying to use his agility to throw off Ivan and disappear back into the fog…

To Sirius's surprise, Ivan was always the first to find him, no matter where he changed directions.

At first, Sirius thought Ivan was using his running voice to judge, so he transformed back into his human form and cast spells to create noise.

Even so, Ivan was able to find him immediately and cast several spells from the thick fog.

'It can't be? How the hell did he know where I was?' Sirius, exhausted from running, could not think straight and was soon hit by a red beam of light.

The wand flew out of his hand, spinning into the mist, and he crashed heavily into the pile of junk behind him.

A wooden sign nearby, which had fallen to the ground, instantly transformed into a long rope, which silently coiled around Sirius and bound him.

Ivan came out of the thick fog and caught the wand in his hand, then smiled at Sirius, who was tied up.

'It seems you've lost this time, Sirius!'

'All right! That's right!' Sirius tried to get free, but the rope was too tight, and Ivan was pointing his wand at him without letting up, so Sirius could only nod helplessly.

Once Ivan had freed himself, Sirius got to his feet, grimacing. He had been holding back during the fight, but now that he had relaxed, he felt the pain of his wounds.

Ivan shook his head and placed his wand against the wound, casting a healing spell.

Green fluorescence glowed at the tip of the wand, and the lacerations on his arms quickly healed under the influence of magic.

'You know healing magic?' Sirius was surprised, wanting to know if there was anything the young wizard could not do.

"It never hurts to learn a thing or two, does it?" Yvonne explained casually, then frowned as she fixed a few of the cuts. Some of the wood chips from the previous battle had been embedded in the cuts and could not be healed immediately.

Ivan had to cast a spell to tear the wound wider, picking out the sharp pieces of wood and gravel…

Sirius gasped in pain, but when he heard the approaching footsteps, his face became calm, and only the occasional twitch of his mouth showed that he was in pain.

Ivan was surprised at Sirius's sudden change of attitude, and then he saw a worried Lupin and Harry running towards him.

"Sirius! Are you all right?" Harry asked Sirius, seeing the wounds on his arms and chest.

"It's all right, it's nothing more than a minor injury. It's perfectly normal to get injured in battle!" Sirius waved his hand dismissively, pretending not to care, and then his face twitched as Ivan picked a sharp stone out of the meat.

However, he managed to keep a straight face and did not embarrass himself in front of Harry.

"You're taking too many risks! Using magic of that level in a match, do you have any idea what will happen if you lose control!" Lupin was worried and angry at the same time.

The intensity of the battle was beyond his expectations, and it could be described as a life-and-death struggle, so when he sensed that the battle was over, he immediately rushed over with Harry.

'Don't say that, Remus! Of course we can control our magic… it's fine, isn't it?' Sirius replied, slightly embarrassed.

He had been in Azkaban for more than ten years and had not been in such a good battle for a long time.

This was compounded by the fact that Ivan was far more powerful than he had anticipated, forcing him to use powerful magic to increase his chances of victory.

Lupin shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

"Who won the match?" Harry asked curiously.
