Chapter 114: Support (Edited)

Above the heads of the four Acromantulas, a small, faint-looking golden flame suddenly appeared, which hovered above their heads for a few seconds before disappearing.

The three non-blind spiders tensed for a moment, and after realizing that they did not appear to have been harmed, resumed their hunt for the invisible cat.

"Crack."

With a faint crack, the body of an Acromantula jerked and fell to the ground.

One of its legs was severed by Fish.

After being hit by the [Elf Fire], the spiders' armor was no longer as indestructible as before. In addition, Fish was targeting the weaker joints. Although it took a little more effort to break the leg, but it was still possible.

To defeat the Acromantulas, Fish again used the [Soft Stone Spell] and [Root Entanglement] to trap them all, and then cut off their legs with ease.

Before long, the four Acromantulas were reduced to four large, helpless black balls.

Fish put the thirty-two severed legs in his magic bag, intending to take them to Fluffy to see if he liked them.

Thus, Fish's revenge succeeded, and he was content to leave behind the Acromantulas whose legs he cut off and re-enter the castle.

As for the four Acromantulas, he did not need to worry about them, as there were many creatures in the Forbidden Forest whose diets included spiders.

In addition, due to the Acromantulas' rampant behavior, coupled with its amazing fighting power and because it is a pack-living creature, it has taken up much of the living space of other creatures in the Forbidden Forest, so the Acromantulas are regularly attacked.

Under the leadership of the Centaurs, a siege was once organized against the Acromantulas, but after Hagrid and Dumbledore's intervention, the two sides did not continue fighting, and the Acromantulas stopped their rampant behavior.

But even so, if a single Acromantula were to appear in the Forbidden Forest, it could be attacked by other creatures of the Forbidden Forest, such as centaurs.

But this level of attrition is of little consequence to the not-so-slowly reproducing Acromantulas, which don't even mind if one or two of their kind occasionally disappear, and often kill each other, with the loser becoming food for the winner.

So even if these four spiders were found by their own kind first, they would only become food for their own kind. After all, Acromantulas are cruel creatures by nature, they have no desire to rescue their own kind, not even their own parents if they had the chance.

Fish doesn't care if they tell the other spiders about him, because... his revenge isn't over yet.

First of all, there were so many spiders chasing him, how could just killing four be enough?

Fish decided that he had to annoy the Acromantulas at least ten times, no matter how many he could get rid of, after that he would never go near the Acromantulas' territory again, but they had better stay out of his way.

Unfortunately, the Black Robed Monster never showed up again, and Fish was more interested in getting revenge on the Black Robed Monster that had hurt him than on the spiders.

But now he could only bother these spiders first.

For the next two days, Fish continued to lure a few Acromantas every night, cutting off their eight legs.

Since he didn't do much to hide them, he was soon discovered by the other creatures in the forbidden forest, and then....

They joined in.

On the fourth night, shortly after luring the five Acromantulas, several familiar faces emerged from the nearby woods: unicorns, Hippogriffs, thestrals, Hippocampus, Croup....

The group pounced on the Acromantulas, tearing them apart.

"Meow!" ∑(=ΦДΦ=)

Looking at the group of magical creatures that suddenly appeared in front of him, Fish was stunned.

"Whinny~"

A white unicorn came out from the crowd and whinnied in Fish's direction.

The unicorn was named Lochlin, one of Fish's many animal friends.

Still invisible, Fish transformed into his cat-person form, lifted his invisibility cloak, and asked in amazement, "Why are you here, meow?"

Lochlin approached Fish and ducked his head, sticking out his tongue and licking his confused face before letting out a whinny of varying length.

After listening to him, Fish realized that these guys were here to help him fight the spiders....

But he didn't need it!

Fish felt very depressed.

He was so frustrated that he didn't feel the pleasure of revenge.

"You guys stay out of it, meow! I'll get revenge myself!". ?(●ΦДΦ●)?

And then there were the sounds of various animals, with Lochlin gently tapping Fish's skull with his single horn.

All these cries boiled down to one thing: disagreement.

The Acromantulas were too dangerous, this was common knowledge to this group of magical creatures, who had always lived in the forbidden forest, so with their help they could prevent Fish from risking his life.

Not even Fish could fight off more than a dozen Acromantulas!

If it weren't for Fish's ability to be invisible, they would have tried to stop him from challenging the Acromantulas.

"What does it matter? I won before without your help, didn't I?"

Fish, who doesn't give up easily, held hands and argued with Lochlin and the others.

Fush, naturally, would not give up easily, so he put his hands on his hips and argued with Lochlin.

"Winny, winny, winny!"

Lochlin, as a representative of the other animals, continued to persuade Fish, it was clear that they would not give in either.

Fish had a deep headache.

Although he could be invisible and unseen by the Lochlin, he had to lure the Acromantulas some distance away to fight them safely, which would cause enough noise for Lochlin and the others to arrive.

And he couldn't fight in Acromantulas' territory.

With his invisibility cloak, Fish was confident he could fight the Acromantulas in their territory and escape safely, but in doing so there would be a risk of attracting the centaurs, not to mention the possibility of Lochlin barging right in, Fish didn't want to put his friends in danger by doing so.

After arguing for a while, both parties came to an agreement.

Fish would attract the spiders tomorrow, as usual, but Lochlin and the others would have to keep watch, and if more than three Acromantulas were attracted, they would eliminate the rest, leaving three for Fish to deal with himself.

In fact, Lochlin had wanted to leave only one for Fish, but at Fish's insistence, they increased the number to three.

To be honest, after learning the [Elves' Fire], one or three Acromantulas didn't make much of a difference to Fish, and they didn't give him much of a sense of crisis, but at least they gave him a good fight.

...

"Fish!"

At noon the next day, Harry stopped Fish, who was about to go to the Hufflepuff Common Room.

"Meow?"

"So... I wanted to ask, where have you been going at night, lately?"

Harry didn't really mind when he lent Fish the invisibility cloak, but he hadn't expected Fish to borrow it for several weeks, and he also heard from the twins that he hadn't seen Fish on the night tour recently.

That was why Harry had found Fish, to ask him.

Harry hadn't thought that Fish had slipped out of the castle with his invisibility cloak and gone to play in the Forbidden Forest, and thought he had snuck back in through the trap door.

As for why Fish had borrowed his invisibility cloak when he had other ways to get in....

Sorry, Harry didn't think much of it.

"For the night? Of course I went out to play, meow."

Fish didn't see why he couldn't say that, and he had borrowed Scarhead's invisibility cloak.

Harry misunderstood him, however.

"Of course I know you were out, what I meant to ask was that you hadn't gone back into the trapdoor, had you?" Harry said.

"No! Didn't I tell you it stinks in there, and Fish won't go back in there, meow?" ?ω?

"But, Redhead Number 2 and 3 said they haven't been able to touch you on their nightly trips lately, have you been wearing the invisibility cloak?"

Harry wondered what Fish needed an invisibility cloak for if he was just playing outside, he wasn't going to get caught anyway.

"Meow? didn't I tell you, meow? I went outside to play, how could you possibly run into Fish in the castle?" Fish said.

"Wait... You said out to play... outside the castle?"

Harry finally reacted.

"Yes!" Fish nodded, looking puzzled, "Didn't I say that at first, meow?"

"So that's it..." Harry sighed in relief, "You're going to the Forbidden Forest to hang out with your friends?"

Fish occasionally talked to his housemates about the friends he'd made in the Forbidden Forest, and Harry had heard Hagrid talk about how he looked in the Forbidden Forest, so he didn't see any problem with him sneaking off to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.

"No, meow."

Fish got a little excited at the mention, and with a furtive glance, he leaned down to Harry's ear.

"I've been hunting spiders in the Forbidden Forest lately! The first time I went to the Forbidden Forest, those big spiders were chasing me everywhere because of their numbers, And now with your invisibility cloak, you can trick them one by one and kill them". ?(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish patted Harry on the shoulder, "Scar-head, remember to keep my secret, meow, if Minerva finds out, Fish will be in trouble."

With that, he left Harry, who was stunned, and walked away.
