Chapter 348 Dragon Attack (3 in 1)

With Jon's direction, Hoss didn't hesitate, and after hearing the words, he turned into the wind and ran away in the opposite direction of this Antipodean Opaleye.

As long as Hoss could run, then no creature would be able to catch up with him.

The blazing heat was instantly left behind, and the Antipodean Opaleye disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Although Jon had given Hoss a specific direction, he hadn't given him a specific location, so Hoss hadn't stopped halfway after it had started to run.

There was one dragon roar after another all around them, and Jon proceeded to head back into the depths of the forbidden forest on Hoss's back.

At first, Jon's first thought was to let Hoss lead him to the exit of the Forbidden Forest first so that even if he had attracted the dragons there, the dragon trainers and the judges would surely be there to help.

But soon he dismissed that idea.

It wasn't that he couldn't go, but it wasn't time yet.

The time for the tournament task to end had not yet arrived, and the isolation magic used against the entire forbidden forest still existed.

As long as there was a second left before the end of the tournament, the judges and dragon trainers would not enter the Forbidden Forest, and Jon could not go out either unless he chose to forfeit this tournament task.

So even if he went to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest now, it wouldn't do any good, but would limit Jon's next move, so he would have to find another way.

There was no doubt that this trick must be Voldemort's masterstroke.

The golden snitch with the problem just now was most likely filled with a potion composed of a mixture of dragon's eggs and fluids, and Jon had not forgotten that the dragons placed in the Forbidden Forest were all female dragons.

Once the smell of this egg potion was induced and these female dragons smelled it, it would be the deadliest provocation, a relentless pursuit that would never end until one of them died!

If Jon had to deal with one dragon alone, there would still be a fair chance to fight, and he could more or less deal with two, but if the number exceeded three, then Jon would only be able to run for his life, not to mention the fact that all the dragons in the forbidden forest would probably be attracted to him.

All those territorial boundaries the dragon trainers had given them before the tournament had all ceased to have any effect, and there was nothing to stop the dragons from showing their animosity towards Jon.

Jon sat on Hoss's back, not letting him stop, but directing him in a constant circle through the forbidden forest.

His greatest asset at the moment is Hoss, a Granian Pegasus, and whoever planned this scheme certainly didn't count it out or could have predicted it in advance.

Without Hoss, who is as fast as the wind, Jon simply would not have had any room to make a run from these dragons and would have had to face them head-on and die or try to flee and die.

All this while, Jon was carefully examining the egg mixture on his body that had obviously been cleaned of all traces by the cleaning spell, yet still retained its smell.

This was not simply a mixture of several types of dragon eggs, there must have been some catalytic herbs and bonding ingredients added to it.

So that as soon as the liquid touched a human body, it would continue to leave traces that could not be removed even with magic.

If the potion had only been splashed onto his robes earlier, then Jon could still probably have a way around it by simply taking his clothes off and reducing the smell that clung to them, but right now not only his clothes but also his bare face as well as his hands, were stained with the potion, which made it extremely troublesome.

"Bang!"

Just as Hoss was running, suddenly, a huge figure fell from the sky and shook the ground!

The terrifying weight combined with the impact of the landing caused Hoss, who was right next to it, to stagger and almost break his own bones by stepping on his horse's foot.

It was a Ukrainian Ironbelly, the same one Jon had seen when he had rescued the Centaurs out of the valley.

It should have been looking for them based on the scent and had stopped in the path ahead before Jon and the Hoss could even show up.

Jon kept his arms around Hoss' horse's neck, but with the tremendous inertia, he eventually failed to stabilise his body on the horse's back and was thrown off it.

After stopping Jon, the Ukrainian Ironbelly did not hesitate to open its mouth and swoop down on Jon, who had thrown up off the horse's back!

In such a flash of activity, Jon had no chance to wave his wand and cast a spell, but it was certainly not the only way he could use it.

The ring's pre-stored levitation charm was cast instantly! The next moment, his body, which was still hurling toward the ground, suddenly flew up!

The Ukrainian Ironbelly was not the least bit anticipating this, and its sharp fangs' front, larger than Jon's entire body, brushed against him and then slammed hard into the ground!

Although Hoss may have spent all day thinking dirty and looking stupid, he had survived in the Forbidden Forest for so long that he was actually not in any way dumber than the other magical creatures.

After seeing that Jon was temporarily out of danger, he too instantly disappeared from his spot to prevent Ironbelly from targeting him next.

Jon could fly, he could run, and both man and horse had their fleeing attributes stretched to the fullest, and as long as they weren't restricted by their environment, very few people or creatures would be able to hold them in place anyway otherwise.

And after Jon rose into the air and flew out of the connecting canopy of the Forbidden Forest, he saw those dragons flying in the sky under the glittering night sky!

In the distance, under the glow of the moon, a dozen or so dragon figures could be faintly seen waving their wings towards where he was, and the nearest one, in addition to the Ukrainian Ironbelly that had just got up from the ground, there was a very fast dragon covered in spikes and brown scales rushing towards him!

The Hungarian Horntail is one of the most ferocious and most difficult to deal with dragons on record!

Its size didn't seem that exaggeratedly huge compared to the Ukrainian Ironbelly, but its body was exceptionally lean and tough, and under its hard hide an explosive might was evidently hidden!

As Jon rose into the air, it had already rushed forward with red eyes, and before the Horntail could even reach Jon, a golden-red hot flame was already gushing out from its mouth!

"Roar!"

At the same time, after shaking off its head, which had become somewhat dizzy from hitting the ground, the Ukrainian Ironbelly opened its bloody maw from the ground, and the blinding flame filled with extremely powerful magic power burst out like a volcanic eruption!

In the next second, the atmosphere around him rose by an unknown number of degrees in temperature in a fraction of a second!

The entire sky where Jon was turned into a sea of golden red fire, as if it was hiding the setting sun, reflecting half of the forbidden forest!

As soon as the dragon's breath was ejected, he raised his wand with one hand and recited the general counter-spell in the second gem of the ring, followed by the Flame-Freezing Charm using his wand the next second!

By the time the two spells had taken effect together, the fiery dragon's breath had completely enveloped him!

Neither the Hungarian Horntail nor the Ukrainian Ironbelly stopped spewing dragon breath, the temperature was still rising, and the area occupied by the flames kept expanding.

And just then, a black shadow suddenly burst out of this dragon flames!

The general counter-spell on his ring helped him to remove the burst of dragon magic from the dragon's breath, and then the all-essential Flame-Freezing Charm of medieval wizards helped him to block the damage from the flames without the magic, which allowed Jon to escape from it instantly.

But the magic of these two dragons was much more powerful than Jon's, and there was no way for Jon to wipe out the magic they possessed by relying on his own magic to cast spells, so he could only use the reserve magic originally stored in the gem to enhance the spell, but the magic absorbed from Sir Stoker's tower was not much left by now after so many battles.

So even when he was dealing with these two dragons now, he used it sparingly, only estimating the amount he could probably mobilise to offset it.

The magic in the dragon's breath was successfully wiped out, but there was still some leftover that penetrated through the Flame-Freezing Charm and brought some damage to Jon.

Luckily, he still had the Shield Charm on his body to maintain his defence, so the damage was not so bad as to hurt his skin, but it did leave him looking a bit grimy, with his hair curling from the heat, his face covered in black ash and his robes covered in scorched holes.

After breaking away from the circle of these two dragons, Jon didn't hesitate for half a second, he didn't stay in the sky, but fell straight down towards the ground.

"Hoss!"

In mid-air, his shout summoned a wind-like Pegasus!

Hoss caught Jon steadily as he fell from the sky, and then without Jon giving him any instructions at all, he was back on the run, galloping wildly through the trees!

Jon held onto Hoss's horse's neck, let out a long breath and exhaled a cloud of black smoke from his mouth, then, not bothering to clean up his appearance, he began to take off his robe at once.

After taking off his robe, he didn't stop there, he continued to take off his shirt and trousers, and finally, he was left with only a pair of underwear.

Anyway, there was no one else in the forbidden forest right now, and Jon didn't feel much shame; most of that liquid was on his clothes, and he could use it to confuse these dragons as long as he took them all off.

But just as Jon was about to throw the smelly clothes off somewhere, he suddenly stopped moving his hands and instead took out his pocket watch and looked at the time on it.

It was exactly seven-thirty, half an hour before the end of the tournament.

This couldn't help but make Jon narrow his eyes, and an idea suddenly sprang up in his mind.

***

The riot of dragons in the forbidden forest had attracted the attention of everyone waiting at the exit for the tournament to end.

The reporters had new material to photograph, holding their cameras up and pressing the shutter constantly towards the dragons soaring above the Forbidden Forest, causing a gasp to ring out from everyone present as the dragon flames lit up half of the sky in the distance.

And inside Hogwarts Castle, the students in the Castle's High Towers undoubtedly had a better viewing position, it was the time to relax and unwind at the end of dinner and before curfew had begun, and instead of going back to the common room, many of the purebloods and half-bloods were playing in the corridors.

The vast majority of the students' attention was drawn when the startling sound of a dragon roaring rang out.

They had sought out the nearest towers and window sills to look in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, and the dozen or so behemoths that flew up from the Forbidden Forest brought looks of excitement and shock to the faces of many.

There was clearly some great commotion taking place in the Forbidden Forest, but not many of the students in the castle were worried or scared by it.

Draco, the champion of Hogwarts Castle, had been eliminated at the beginning anyway, and now there was no champion of theirs in the Forbidden Forest to take part in the tournament at all, so they were all happy to watch a big buzz as the scenes in the tournament got more chaotic now.

Cedric was also standing in one of the towers of the castle looking at the flaming clouds of dragon flames above the Forbidden Forest, and his face filled with gloom and worry.

On the meadow at the exit of the Forbidden Forest, not only Matthew and the other three judges were present, but Rosier, Beauxbatons' Deputy Headmaster and Dumbledore himself had also arrived.

Apart from Voldemort, all the judges of the Triwizard Tournament were then present.

Matthew looked grimly at the dragon trainers, he would hate to see any surprises in this Triwizard Tournament, it would be better to end the whole thing by following the rules, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses in the end.

"What the hell is going on?"

The lead dragon trainer finally snapped out of his thoughts from the riot of those dragons and swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he replied.

"These dragons are all enraged, they are furious and no one can control them anymore unless they can be allowed to dissipate their anger."

"What I want to know is the REASON WHY this is happening!"

Matthew increased his volume as he looked at the dragon trainer with cold eyes.

"We paid for all these dragons, including you all! So why are they still in the state they are in now!"

"If you need to, Mr Graves, we can go into the Forbidden Forest right now to investigate the cause." The dragon trainer looked at him with a lack of fear on his face and said with a shrug, "It's true, we are dragon trainers, and it is also true that you paid for these dragons, but they are not some house elves. Besides, you guys are the ones who have chosen the female dragons in heat despite our advice, and they're much harder to control, and no one can control them in this state."

Matthew was about to say something else when Dumbledore, who had a calm look on his face, said reassuringly.

"No need to get so worked up Matthew, it's just some unexpected situation that has arisen, accidents are inevitable at the Triwizard Tournament, there's no way for anyone to predict such things."

Now only Jon was the only one who hadn't shown up yet, the odds being that these dragons' strange movements in the Forbidden Forest now had something to do with him are high, but Dumbledore, as the person of interest, looked a lot calmer than everyone else.

Without saying anything more to the dragon trainer, Matthew walked over to Dumbledore, avoiding the flashing lights of the journalists and deliberately lowering his voice.

"Do we need to do anything to remedy the situation?"

Dumbledore didn't answer his question at first, but instead first picked up his watch and looked at the time on it.

"Don't do anything, the rules of the tournament are that unless someone issues a plea for help and indicates they want to withdraw, only then the judges can intervene, otherwise, no one is in a position to interfere in this tournament."

The person most likely to be in danger now would be Jon, and as Jon's Headmaster, Dumbledore himself hadn't said anything, then naturally Matthew wouldn't say anything more.

The riot that had arisen in the Forbidden Forest did not affect the situation on this side of the exit, and after the initial shock, Diane and Emil continued to confront each other.

They held their wands up and looked at each other in opposition, while their Professors, Rosier and the deputy headmaster of the Beauxbatons, stood just a short distance away.

Time gradually passed, not long before eight o'clock, and upon the final few minutes, Diane took the initiative!

"Stupefy!"

A bright red spell illuminated this clearing on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and as the duel reeled in the attention of everyone present!

Jon patted Hoss's balding head, he had never thought a balding horse with big and small eyes could be quite cute to his eyes.

"I need you to help me with something a bit dangerous, Hoss."

Hoss, who was running, snored as if he didn't care about Jon's words.

Jon told Hoss his plan, he couldn't call it a plan, he knew that Hoss couldn't think much of anything complicated with his brain, he just told him what to do.

When Hoss heard Jon's words, he stopped his horse's hooves in faith.

Although he had only known Jon for less than three days, there was already enough understanding and trust between the horse and the boy that there was no need for Jon to make any request, as long as he asked, Hoss simply agreed to do it.

After Jon got off his back, Hoss took the clothes Jon had taken off, which smelt of dragon eggs, in his mouth and winked at him with his small and big eyes, as if to show him that he was brave enough to do this simple task.

But Jon looked at it seriously and warned.

"If you get into a situation where you can't run away, remember not to wait until the end, just get rid of these clothes and come to me quickly, Hagrid has asked me to look after you, if anything happens to you, I have no way of explaining it to him."

Hoss had already made a quick turn by this time, biting Jon's robe and weighing hilariously, before transforming back into the wind and disappearing from the spot.

After he left, Jon didn't linger, he looked at the time on the pocket watch in his hand and immediately rose into the air.

As Hoss led Jon on a wild ride through the forbidden forest, there was no way for the dragons to catch up with them, and the Ukrainian Ironbelly that had stopped them at the beginning had just happened to pass right by the route Hoss was running.

Now all the dragons were flying over the Forbidden Forest, blocking the stars and a few blocking the moon, and were approaching as fast as they could in the direction of Jon's location.

But soon, as Hoss and Jon separated, it became clear that all the dragons flying in the sky, had a different target in mind.

The dragons parted, with a dozen of them all chasing in the direction Hoss was running, but seven or eight of them still flew straight towards Jon.

Jon didn't stop after seeing these dragons in the sky, he avoided the location of the ones flying towards him and circled deeper into the forbidden forest.

Naturally, he could not fly as fast as Hoss, who was running on the ground, but at least he could still be in the sky with the huge dragons for a while, and that was all Jon needed.

However, he had taken into account the speed at which the vast majority of the other dragons moved but had overlooked the aggressive fury of the Hungarian Horntail Dragon.

It flew fast, and its target was always Jon, not half confused by Hoss's separation, while right behind it was the Norwegian Ridgeback.

The same one that Jon had defeated and knocked unconscious.

It was second only to the Hungarian Horntail dragon in terms of dragon infamy, and its lean size meant that it was far faster than a huge, bloated dragon species like the Ukrainian Ironbelly.

So soon these two dragons had closed in behind Jon!

Their speed was somewhat unexpected, but if it was only these two dragons, Jon did not feel much panic because of it.

His body was still flying ahead at great speed, but his entire body had already shifted to face the Hungarian Horntail Dragon, which was getting closer and closer to him, and he raised his wand with both hands together!

A dazzling green glow shone from the tip of Jon's wand!

Jon held his wand backwards with both hands and as if he was waving a paintbrush, he traced the sign of death in the air!

"Avada Kedavra!!!"

An aura of death filled the sky around him as beams of green light as thick as a small arm shot out from the tip of his wand, cutting a bright line across the sky!

So bright was that this Killing curse could be seen by students within Hogwarts Castle, whom were an unknown distance away, as it dazzled across the sky!

The Hungarian Horntail Dragon was apparently ranging into life-threatening danger!

"ROAR!!!"

It roared out, its dragon body abruptly deviating in mid-air to avoid the Killing Curse.

But even if it was fast, it was still a huge dragon, and Jon had chosen the right moment to cast the curse, the distance between one dragon and him was less than a hundred metres, so even if it could have reacted, its body would not have been able to keep up with its nerves!

The green light hit its broad wings straight on, and the next moment, blood was spurting out of its eyes, ears, nose and mouth!

Its wings could no longer be swung, and its huge body fell helplessly towards the ground, splashing the trees with hot dragon blood like rain!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang followed by the sound of countless trees being broken, the Hungarian Horntail Dragon was successfully knocked down by Jon.

But even though it had suffered such severe damage, Jon's Killing Curse still failed to kill it outright!
