Chapter 125: Monster in the Cloud

Hot steam rose, and the sea bubbled like boiling water. 

The flames died down, but the tower was gone.

The entire sea cliff seemed to be covered by a black shell at this moment, like burnt syrup.

The ferocious fire dragon was still hovering in the sky. Doclo sat on the dragon's rugged back and leaned down to take a look. He had almost confirmed that neither Cyrus nor the Auror could survive, so he relaxed and took a breath trying to calm his nerves.

The dragon was a part of their ambush plan. They had brought and hid this fire dragon early in the morning. They were originally worried that Rookwood would bring too many people and they would not be able to cope with it. Now it happens that Rookwood's whole party was wiped out by just a single man.

"Doclo, how many wands did you get?"

The person who controls the fire dragon is another goblin. This Chinese Fireball has been secretly raised by the goblin since it was a child.

With the financial resources they have, it is not difficult to secretly smuggle a fire dragon cub. The silent silver whistle that Docolo blew before was actually the whistle that summoned this dragon. This method doesn't rely on sound but on magic power.

"There's only one," Doclo felt a little uncomfortable when he mentioned the wand.

The wand in his hand was a defective one given to him by Rookwood. The wand had been pulped by the previous owner, and the core was exposed.

The wands that Cyrus had placed in front of him just now were too late to take away, and now they may have been completely burned by the fire dragon's flames.

"Those despicable wizards are indeed hateful. They promised at least fifty wands, but we only got one," the goblin driving the fire dragon said angrily, without mentioning at all that they planned to kill Rookwood and his party.

"Wizards are not trustworthy. This is something we knew from the beginning," Doclo said. "It's a pity that we can't decipher Ranrok's manuscript and couldn't find ancient magic. The secret of Vault 12 will never be revealed to us."

"It's enough to be able to use this secret in exchange for a wand. We, the Goblin Brotherhood, are bound to get more rights that we deserve from the wizards!" the other goblin said while glancing at the sky.

Perhaps the fire dragon's breath evaporated too much seawater, and the sky was obscured by dark clouds. Golden light flashed from time to time in the heavy clouds, and it seemed that a storm was about to come.

However, he soon felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous. Even though this Chinese Fireball's breath was powerful, it was impossible to create thunderclouds that could cover the entire sky.

"What are you worrying about? The weather at the seaside has always been like this," Doclo said. "It's better to go back quickly. An Auror died here. It's best not to let people from the Ministry of Magic find out that it was us who did all of this."

The other goblin nodded. They had done a lot of illegal things behind the scenes. It wouldn't matter if they were discovered, but now was not the time to conflict with the Ministry of Magic.

He pulled the magic reins, and the fire dragon immediately flapped its wings and flew high.

The fire dragon that has been domesticated since childhood is like a domesticated elephant we see in a circus. It clearly has the ability to break free, but it does not dare to make any more moves and can only obey.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning tore open the night!

The heavy rain pounded down, and the water slid down the rugged scales of the fire dragon. The fire dragon seemed to feel something, and suddenly stopped and became very restless, twisting its body anxiously in the air.

"Quiet, you beast!"

The goblin slapped the fire dragon on the back in annoyance, and Doclo, who had a wand in his hand, whipped it with a whip without restraint.

This poor Chinese Fireball is covered in scars!

The Chinese Fireball's skin has strong magic resistance, and its scales can also resist non-magical physical attacks. At least Muggle grenades couldn't penetrate its scales. Facing such a powerful magical creature, training must begin when the opponent is young.

Once a young fire dragon has learned enough lessons, it will keep the pain firmly in its mind. Even after becoming an adult, it did not dare to disobey orders.

*Roarr!*

But today this fire dragon seems a little different.

It was too restless and refused to fly into the thunderclouds. Instead, it kept roaring at the thunderclouds. Even the whip on its wounds could not make it quiet.

Doclo and another goblin were almost thrown off by it several times, so that the goblin was very angry at the moment.

"Doclo, just in time you got the wand, give this beast a Conjunctivitis Curse and let it know the pain!" He grabbed the bone spur on the fire dragon's back and wiped the rain off his face, shouting.

But Doclo didn't do this. He didn't feel sorry for the fire dragon at all, but felt a little weird.

"Adora, it's roaring looking there ..can there be something in the clouds?" he asked worriedly.

For some reason, Doclo thought of Cyrus in his mind, and he felt a little uneasy when he thought of that handsome face.

"Can there really be something?" The Goblin known as Adora glanced into the clouds in surprise but saw nothing. However, if anything can create such vast dark clouds in a previously uncloudy place, it can only be a swarm of Dementors!

"Has the search scope been expanded to this side? It would be troublesome for those guys..."

"No, it's not the Dementors!" Doclo suddenly shouted.

By the light of lightning, he saw a golden shadow moving through the clouds.

"It's a Thunderbird!"

He shouted, his sharp voice piercing the rain curtain!

"Thunderbird? No wonder!" Adora's face looked a little uglier than before.

As both five-X level magical animals, the thunderbird is no less dangerous than the fire dragon. This magical creature is a close relative of the phoenix, but has completely different powers.

The phoenix is small in size, and its more magical feature is its ability to regenerate and heal, but the thunderbird's magic power is most reflected in its powerful destructive force!

In particular, the Thunderbird's habitat is often in the United States and does not migrate. However, this Thunderbird appears here, which means that it is likely to be brought here by wizards who poach magical animals and it somehow managed to break free.

In other words, it must be angry!

Doclo was right, the Thunderbird was angry. But it had nothing to do with the smuggling of magical animals. He was just simply annoyed that the two goblins actually made him eat a burst of fire dragon's breath!

This Thunderbird is, of course, Cyrus.

A few minutes ago, when the Chinese Fireball appeared above Cyrus' head, he immediately took action. Doclo relied on his magic resistance to apparate onto the back of the fire dragon with difficulty, but Cyrus still wanted to take Tonks away.

It took a while to move Tonks, which led Doclo to think that Cyrus had been charred by the dragon's breath. But in fact, his hair was just a little curled because of the perm.

Now, it's time for him to fight back!
