Despite failing to see their attacker, the two girls quickly dodged the spell and sprinted away. The aquatic grass area moved because of the spell, but except for a large string of water currents, the attacker did not show up.
Sean was riding the Kelpie at high speed, waved his wand from a distance, and immediately, the Loch Ness Monster, who had been guarding Stephanie and Daisy, swam straight to the grass area.
Sean looked from a distance and saw that the water area had suddenly changed, and the water foam scattered in all directions. The Loch Ness Monster didn't make an attacking hiss, which made Sean frown.
Just as they were thinking, two more spells suddenly struck Stephanie and Daisy in the grass area, and the direction from which the spells were cast was where the Loch Ness Monster entered.
Although it was weird, the attacker's strength didn't seem to be strong, and Daisy's Protego Charm easily blocked the spell.
Daisy had little combat experience and was nervous. After a few spells, she suddenly realized that the attacker's strength was weak.
When she usually practices against Sean, Sean will definitely not use his full strength, and they were obviously doing a sneak attack. However, the magic spell issued is not as powerful as Sean's magic spell during practice.
From the feeling of the Protego Charm, Daisy can be sure that the attacker's spell level may not be as good as her own.
Is she too strong, or is the attacker too weak? But aren't the contestants all the strongest wizards in their schools?
Although she was in doubt, she didn't stop waving her wand and fully demonstrated her usual combat stance with Sean and Hermione. The spells followed one after another, countless ripples appeared in the water, and the grass area where the attackers were lurking almost became a bombing area.
Sean saw all this from a distance, and Daisy's strength was within his expectations.
Although the Obscurus have tortured her for years, she has also benefited from it. The Obscurus' parasitic properties have given her a greater source of magic power than her classmates or even seniors.
At the same time, Daisy, who the curse has not beaten, has an extremely powerful heart. In this world, inner strength can also be regarded as another kind of magic, which is why Daisy can release a powerful Patronus.
Before Sean arrived, Daisy's spell swept away the grass area, and even the Loch Ness Monster had to step back a little. There is still a big gap of magic resistance between the young one and the adult one.
However, despite Daisy's spell attack, the attacker in the grass area still did not show up, and even that person did not lose the ability to resist. The spell that came out from time to time still reminded them that the attacker was still there.
Is there any of this strength among the contestants? Sean frowned.
According to his judgment, apart from himself, Daniels, Cedric, and Stephanie should be the most powerful among the contestants, and Krum, Hugo, Patricia, and Daisy should be regarded as the second in power.
If these people fought Daisy alone, they could defeat Daisy because they have more experience. But now it has become a show by Daisy alone, and Stephanie is just moving away beside her.
The attacker's behavior was strange. Instead of defeating Daisy, they were able to maintain the attack, and the Loch Ness Monster could not detect the attacker's specific location.
Although the sneak attack was weak, it weakened their power.
But now, the attack has failed, and the attacker has been unable to obtain results. But the attacker seemed to be sure that they were going to hit Daisy with a spell here and cast the spell relentlessly.
Daisy's spells are becoming more and more better. This feeling of actual combat cannot be found in duels with Sean, even though Sean's duel practice is serious. However, the adrenaline rush is rarely achieved in training. No matter how strong Sean's spell is, even if the spell hits her, she knows in her heart that Sean will never hurt her.
Real combat is completely different. Daisy became more and more excited, and the spell was thrown away freely.
Stephanie also noticed that Daisy had entered a rare state. She was smart enough not to intervene any further, but she held up her wand and was ready to block another spell if the attacker planned on attacking her.
The pieces of water plants floated up with a large pile of water bubbles, and the attacker suddenly stopped attacking. Daisy squinted her eyes and tried hard to look ahead through the lake. All of a sudden, another spell hit the grass area that had subsided for a while.
Daisy maintained a high degree of concentration. She immediately raised her wand and felt a familiar wave of magic power. This wave of magic power made her freeze for a moment, and she showed a look of panic and fear.
Sean was about to rush, suddenly shrank.
"Get her out of the way!" He yelled at Stephanie.
However, only a series of bubbles spit out from his mouth.
Stephanie had been vigilant all the time, but she noticed Daisy's sudden sluggish reaction. She immediately waved her wand and cast a Protego Charm on Daisy's body. However, she didn't realize anything until the spell hit. The spell seemed to be surrounded by faint black particles.
That person had been hiding their strength. The power of the spell is not at the same level as the previous ones.
Although she didn't know what happened, Stephanie could no longer think about it. She subconsciously swung her flippers, transformed from gillyweed, and stood in front of Daisy. The spell easily shattered the transparent barrier formed by the Protego Charm and hit Stephanie without any hindrance.
"Stephanie!" Daisy finally came to her senses and saw her blocking the attack in front of her.
"No!" Daisy screamed.
Sean's eyes widened.
That spell is infused with an Obscurus' power. Stephanie's body knocked away as if hit by a huge pendulum, her body hit Daisy's body, and the two retreated together. Stephanie's hand seemed to lose all power at once.
A dazzling silver light instantly illuminated the bottom of the lake. A silver dragon more than ten meters long spewed out from the tip of Daisy's wand, and the Patronus roared at the bottom of the water, rushing madly toward the grass area.
"Don't, don't..." Daisy's tears overflowed and merged with the cold water.
A furious whistling sounded from behind her, and two huge black shadows rushed straight after the silver dragon. The mermaids in the distance had stopped singing, and they all felt fear and trembling. Even the tridents in their hand could not be held.
That silver dragon was powerful enough, but it was a Patronus. The sudden appearance of two huge snake-shaped figures made the mermaids feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. That is a magical animal completely stronger than them, a terrifying creature that can easily slaughter their entire race.
Moreover, the anger emitted by those two black shadows made their instincts alerting them over and over again. If they don't run away now, they will die.
"Sean, save her! Save her!" Daisy turned her head trembling.
Sean looked at Stephanie in Daisy's arms. She closed her eyes tightly at this moment, and her right hand was holding her light blue wand tightly against her chest. The darkness carried by the Obscurus' power had not yet dissipated, and Sean could feel it without even turning on Dark Sleeper—it was on her chest.
Sean hugged Stephanie into it, and a little silver-white unicorn emerged from his shoulders, surrounding Stephanie with a silver radiance. Sean took out the best healing potion produced by Snape and gently poured it into Stephanie's mouth.
Daisy was crying, and she said in a crying voice, "It's all my fault. I didn't react to it, and she was trying to save me."
Sean could only softly reply, "I don't blame you, Daisy."
"But I, but I..." Daisy was already in tears, "I lost my mind during the battle, that was..."
Sean patted Daisy's head, "I know what you mean."
"Sean..."
"It's not your fault. We didn't expect to see one here."
Sean blamed himself a lot at that moment, but he should have made more plans. If the Loch Ness Monster and the Basilisk had been released earlier, the attacker would not have dared to do so. He thought it would be okay, given that Dumbledore and Grindelwald knew about his magical animal, which he had for a long time, and they would help them hide it.
He looked at Stephanie. The unicorn's healing and the healing potion should have taken effect, but she did not respond.
"No, we have to go back quickly and find Professor Snape and Madam Pomfrey." He made a decisive decision.
"Yes!" Daisy wiped her tears.
Sean squatted down and was just about to pick up Stephanie when she suddenly let out a groan. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Stephanie? Stephanie? Can you hear me? How do you feel?" Sean asked.
Stephanie opened her eyes and froze for a moment, "Why are you looking at me like that? Daisy, why are you crying?"
Daisy lost her mind for a moment. Her red eyes filled with tears again. She resisted the urge to rush up to Stephanie and hugged her.
"Let's go to the professors now!" She cried in a tearful voice.
Stephanie rubbed her chest, and to their surprise, she laughed.
After a faint moment, she got up and gently hugged Daisy, saying, "I'm fine, as long as you're fine."
"Stephanie?" Sean and Daisy were both stunned.
Being hit by the Obscurus's magic power is a serious situation. Not only is it a huge power, but the Obscurus' unique magic power will also erode a person. Although unicorn healing and potions are the best means of healing, they make an injured person instantly.
Sean had already prepared for the worst. Stephanie might lie in the hospital for a long time because of this, but as long as she was alive, he would do everything possible to restore her to the best condition.
However, looking at her current condition, although her lips are a little pale, Stephanie's familiar magic power has returned.
Stephanie hugged Daisy and turned to Sean. She touched her lips, "Healing potion?"
"Are you okay?"
She raised the wand in her hand, "Mr. Wallup, will you please have some confidence in me?"
The magic wand was shining, and an extremely tough barrier came out.
Stephanie's tone was calm, "Although I want to save people, I'm not going to use my own body for it. I prefer to make some preparations in advance."
"I've stored a few protection charms beforehand," Sshe waved her wand lightly. "Don't forget; I'm Ollivander's granddaughter, after all."
