Chapter 30: The True Ambush! Kill All Witnesses!

After hunting a few beasts with the Knarl to barely fill his stomach, Kael finally began his true purpose for the night.

His "Heart of Dark Magic" talent had only recently been acquired. It greatly enhances various dark magic spells, but Kael wasn't yet accustomed to the level of its amplification.

Magic isn't just about raw power—controlling the spell is more important.

This requires diligent practice.

When it came to improving his own strength, Kael had never slacked off.

Just as he found a slightly spacious open area, the sound of hooves approached, and he was stopped by someone.

"Little colt, stop your steps and go back to the castle. The Forbidden Forest is bathed in blood tonight."

"It's dangerous to stay here!"

Actually, calling them "people" was not quite right.

They were centaurs—horse-like beings from the Forbidden Forest.

"Mr. Centaur, can I know what's happening?" Kael asked with interest upon hearing there was danger.

This was a perfect opportunity to practice his spells!

"Well..." As the centaur hesitated, another centaur with a bow and arrow ran up.

"Firenze, what are you dawdling for?"

"A dozen warriors from the tribe are already gathered, and Irina is still waiting for us to rescue her!"

"Ronan, I encountered a human colt who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest..."

"You know, from the heavens above, we will receive help. Perhaps this is..."

"Human? Are you joking!" Ronan furrowed his brow at the mention of humans.

The centaurs had a strong aversion to humans.

They did not even acknowledge their own subhuman status.

At Hogwarts, only Hagrid and Dumbledore had earned their respect.

Ronan glanced at Kael, and a sense of familiarity emerged, softening his tone.

"Listen, child, it's dangerous here. You should go back."

"Sir, can you tell me what's happening? Perhaps I can help!"

"I have brought with me two very powerful Fantastic Beast and a Knarl!" To prove his abilities, Kael showed the Knarl on his wrist.

This 5X-level magical creature was at the top of the food chain even in the Forbidden Forest.

"Alright, the daughter of our tribe's chief was captured by a damned Acromantula. We've organized warriors to infiltrate the spider's lair and rescue her."

Ronan and Firenze briefly discussed and informed Kael of the situation.

"Infiltrate? Rescue?" Kael's eyes lit up.

"You might not believe it, but I'm best at infiltration."

"Please let me join you!"

After all, a pint of Acromantula venom is worth a hundred Galleons!

Who wouldn't be interested in that kind of money?

"Um..." Ronan hesitated, but Firenze spoke up.

"Ronan, I think we should heed the signs of destiny. The stars indicate that we will receive help tonight!"

"Alright, you can come, but you must promise to stay behind us."

"If things go wrong, you must escape immediately and not worry about us."

"I understand, sir!"

Kael nodded obediently. An Acromantula was just a walking pile of Galleons.

"Okay, get on my back then!"

...

The two centaurs took Kael to meet their companions.

These were the best hunters of the centaur tribe.

After a brief exchange, Ronan carried Kael, and the others surrounded them.

Being ridden by a human was a shame for centaurs.

However, thanks to Kael's "Affinity with Fantastic Beasts" talent, no one seemed to mind.

After passing through a dense forest for over half an hour, they finally reached the Acromantula's territory.

The forest was already covered in spider webs.

Occasionally, fist-sized spiders crawled by.

"Alright, we've arrived. From now on, we need to be extra cautious!"

Ronan set Kael down.

"Try to rescue Irina without alerting the Acromantula."

"Let me handle this. I'm the best at infiltration!" Kael quickly stepped forward with his wand.

"Do you know any spells?" Firenze asked curiously.

Centaurs had their own mysterious powers, mostly related to divination.

But they were not very effective in combat.

This made them disadvantaged in their encounters with the Acromantula.

"Of course!" Kael grinned.

His expression turned serious.

A blue vertical pupil appeared on his forehead.

It shone like a sapphire!

"Fiend Fire!"

"Fiend Fire!"

"Fiend Fire!"

Three consecutive Fiend Fire spells sent black flames swirling through the air.

This so-called "Fiend Fire" had a temperature far exceeding ordinary flames.

Combined with the dry autumn weather and oily trees, and the flammable spider webs.

Before the centaurs could react, the fire had already spread.

Though Kael's "Fiend Fire" was not as powerful as the Unforgivable Curses, it was still at Level 7.

With a wave of his wand, the raging flames split to the sides, leaving a clear path in the center.

"Let's go rescue her, Mr. Centaurs!"

Firenze couldn't help but swallow.

"Kael, is this what you call infiltration?"

"Of course, false infiltration—carefully avoiding the enemy to avoid detection!"

"Real infiltration is about charging in and killing all witnesses!" Kael raised his head.

Centaurs: "???"

This sounds so reasonable!

Wait!

Does this make any sense?

Is this really the level a young wizard should be at?

Seeing the blazing flames in front of them, the centaurs were stunned!
