Vol.3 - Chapter 17 – The Beast of Hogwarts is released

On the last day of the trade fair, which was also the third day of the K team's arrival at Star Castle, most of the pioneer teams would leave here and return to their own base worlds after the last trade fair in the morning.

Everyone was busy on weekdays, and they would have to wait three months to meet again.

Therefore, many teams would hold a gathering in the castle today, but new teams like the K team would not be invited. This circle was not only complicated but also based on appearances.

It was difficult to make a name for oneself without achieving something.

"Drink it." Mason, dressed in a complete set of battle armor, picked up three tubes of compound soup from the side and handed them to the three synthetic guards brought by Judy.

They looked at Mason expressionlessly and didn't reach out to take them.

Judy, who was chatting with Barbara and Selina, snapped her fingers, and the three loyal synthetic guards finally took the potions and drank them.

"They are robots. Will your potion really work on them?" The tech girl in the cool leather jacket chewed her gum curiously and asked.

Mason shrugged and said, "As long as they have 'vitality,' it will definitely work. And I'm glad that the synthetic humans you use are advanced. Are they from a place called 'Detroit'?"

"How did you know? They were an unexpected gain during one of the exploration missions of the K team."

Judy didn't hide it either.

She looked at the changes in her three synthetic guards and said to the people beside her, "It is a world dominated by technology. The power level is not high, but it is already quite good in the D-level world. It used to be the base world of the K team for a period of time.

Unfortunately, it was eventually lost due to the production of a special metal.

Before it was completely dismantled, we transferred the last survivor of that world to a safe place, and these loyal synthetic warriors were willing to serve us.

The K team is an elite mode.

In addition to the main team members, all the logistics and support tasks are completed by the synthetic humans. I think you should too. Wow! They've changed!"

In Judy's exclamation, her three synthetic guards showed painful expressions and held their stomachs.

Then, in a few seconds, their appearances quickly changed, and even their cheeks melted and were reshaped into the appearance of Mason, Er Tong, and Zha Kang.

This made the tech girl from Night City feel amazed.

She exclaimed that unscientific magic was completely invincible.

"Change into our clothes, and you will play the roles of the three of us next."

Mason pointed to the three sets of clothes on the sofa and handed a box containing six tubes of compound soup to Selina, reminding her, "The commercial representative of the Tencho team will come soon. Your task is to delay them. After finishing there, Zha Kang will notify you, and then you can detain them."

"Okay, understood."

Lady Cat showed a confident smile, and Barbara nodded as well.

But Judy was still curious. She frowned and said, "How did they provoke you? Why do you have to do such a dangerous thing in Star Castle? I haven't heard of anyone daring to commit crimes here before."

"No one did it before not because it couldn't be done, Miss Judy."

Konstantin, holding the grimoire, walked out of the inner room and spoke in a prolonged voice to the tech girl, "It was purely because of fixed thinking that no one dared to think in that direction. The monitoring system of this castle is indeed very perfect, but you have to admit that it also has loopholes.

As for why we want to harm innocent lives for no reason..."

Zha Kang shrugged and said, "Our dear captain said that those neon people must die. Is this reason enough?"

"Click."

The sound of a gun being loaded came from behind Mason and Zha Kang. Er Tong, fully armed with a red battle helmet, walked out. He moved his fingers and said coldly, "Am I waiting here for you to finish chatting, or should I go alone? I think I'm enough, really, following you will only waste time."

"Let's go!"

Mason didn't say much anymore. He threw the invisibility cloak to Zha Kang and Er Tong.

He picked up the black gentleman's hat next to him and put it on his head. When they left, Judy hesitated for a moment and took a pink pistol from her waist, handing it to Mason and saying, "Take this, it seems like your firepower is not enough."

Mason didn't refuse this kindness.

He accepted the pink and girly pistol, and the information label immediately popped up:

Liz

Quality: Legendary Engineering Creation·Immortal Craftsmanship

Weapon Traits: Precision, Rapid Charging, Multiple Shots, Obstacle Penetration

Creator: Judy Alvarez

Item Description: Once the pink heart of a girl is stained with blood, it will become a terrifying thing.

"It's worthy of being the heritage of an old pioneer. Even the sidearms for logistics personnel are legendary weapons."

Mason felt a little sour in his heart.

He showed a grateful smile to Judy and inserted this lady-style sidearm into the weapon slot on his waist. He also threw his own critical hit revolver to Er Tong.

Then the three men disappeared at the door.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Barbara went to open it and found two people standing outside, one man and one woman, both with oriental faces.

They took the initiative to introduce themselves, "We are the commercial representatives of the Tencho team. Captain Mason-san of the K team has reached a long-term supply agreement for potions with our team members.

We are here to discuss the business details."

"Of course, welcome."Barbara immediately opened the door to let them in. As the representative, Catwoman made a "please" gesture and said to the two people in front of her with a calm expression on Mason, Er Tong, and Zha Kang's faces:

"I will be in charge of this business negotiation, two esteemed guests. This is Miss Judy from the Afterlife Squad and also a friend of the K Squad. We specially invited her to be a witness for this transaction. As a rookie pioneer, the K Squad not only hopes to obtain a large amount of medicine from you, but also hopes to have various collaborations with you. Come, don't be restrained, let's talk slowly."

In a peaceful atmosphere, everyone took their seats. Barbara, who brought the tea, turned around and lightly pressed her bat wristwatch.

At the same time, Mason and his two companions, who were organized to sneak into the castle, received the signal. The three of them exchanged glances and put on their prepared masks before reentering the Star Castle.

With the information obtained from Constantine, their vampire "bedmate," they made their way to Section C on the third floor of the castle.

Zha Kang and Er Tong hid in their invisibility cloaks, leaving only Mason to approach the headquarters of the Tendo Squad.

He knocked on the door.

At that moment, the emblem on his hat trembled, just like the excitement before the execution of the Avengers.

In the next moment, the door opened. Similar to before, Judy only opened a crack in the door and looked at the stranger in front of her with vigilant eyes.

"I have a treasure from your world to trade with you!"

Mason didn't waste any words.

He reached into his pocket and took out a box, placing it in his palm. In the gaze of the person in front of him, he opened the box, revealing a blood-colored irregular crystal on the velvet black cushion.

The appearance of this thing immediately widened the eyes of the person behind the door.

"Magic stone?"

He exclaimed, wanting to reach out and take it, but was pushed away by Mason.

The young man pretended to be displeased and scolded, "Don't you understand the rules? Let your captain come out, this is a big deal!"

"Who are you?"

The person behind the door became visibly wary and asked.

Mason shrugged and introduced himself, "Representative of the Hydra Squad, you can call me Cerberus. Our captain is the famous Mr. Sandstorm. Have you heard of this name?"

"Please wait, sir."

The door slammed shut, and it seemed that the person inside needed some time to discuss.

Mason patiently waited for nearly a minute before the door opened again.

This time, it was a welcome.

Through the door, Mason could see an old man in traditional neon white clothing sitting in the center of the Japanese-style residence, leaning on a black cane.

Standing beside him were five people, including the one who opened the door, making a total of six.

Without exception, they were all wearing white robes.

"It's him!"

The voice of the Sorting Hat sounded with hatred in Mason's mind, unable to conceal its resentment. It said, "Sir Merlin, the current headmaster of the Shendao Magic School and a member of the Order of Merlin, Second Class. He was once respected as the 'Tengu,' a sacred beast in Eastern mythology. But look at the white robes they are wearing, which represent their deviation from the wizarding code! Kill them! Mason, the monster from Hogwarts, kill them all!"

Mason calmly smiled at the people in front of him, holding the box containing the magic stone and walking into the room. The door closed in the next moment.

"Has your squad entered the ruined Hogwarts?"

The great wizard Tengu asked without any pleasantries. This serious and gloomy old man spoke in a deep voice, "I'm curious if you found anything else there?"

"Of course, esteemed wizard."

Mason performed a standard apprentice wizard etiquette to the great wizard in front of him. He placed the magic stone on the desk in front of him and said softly, "In addition to the magic stone, our squad also found something else that you will surely be interested in. I hope to exchange them with something valuable from the Tendo Squad."

As he spoke, the young man took off his hat and placed it next to the magic stone.

Under the gaze of the traitorous neon wizards, the black Panama hat quickly dissipated, revealing the pitiful state of the Sorting Hat.

These two legendary magical items surprised the members of the Tendo Squad, and the great wizard Tengu let out a deep, old man's laughter.

He obviously recognized the Sorting Hat and was satisfied with the items in this transaction. He asked, "So, young man, what do you want to exchange from us?"

Mason shrugged, raised his head, and smiled, "Of course, it's your lives."

With a loud bang, a large-scale magic specifically designed to suppress magic power spread out from the screaming Sorting Hat as the center, hitting the unsuspecting wizards from all directions like an invisible heavy hammer.

The aftermath of that magic power was so intense that the assassins behind Mason, who were wearing invisibility cloaks, were affected and instantly removed their disguises.

But Zha Kang, who had already prepared, drank the potion given by Petri and summoned the flames of Purgatory with a raised hand, his eyes turning into green runes burning with eerie heat.

The intense heat caused ancient paper artworks in this Japanese-style building to ignite one after another.

The Tendo Squad did not expect that someone would dare to attack in the Star Castle, so their reaction was slightly slower.

However, for high-level wizards, the ability to apparate at close range had almost become instinct. When they realized the danger was approaching, everyone drew their delicate or ferocious wands.

But Er Tong, the assassin trained by Batman and the League of Assassins, was obviously faster in this enclosed environment, unsheathing his sword in an instant.Two black hand cannons were pulled out, and as Mason violently charged forward, he kicked the wizard in front of him and the dance of bullets erupted in this scorching place.

The cursed single-headed bullet, under the deadly shooting skill of at least Lv6, instantly pierced through the abdomen of a female wizard, forcing the wizards to move around the room.

Then, six bottles thrown by Mason smashed onto the ground and walls, and the green poisonous gas quickly vaporized in the high temperature caused by Shacon.

The K team, wearing gas masks in the chaos, was unaffected.

But the neon wizards were not so lucky.

This stuff was the "concentrated liquid" carefully made by Mason for today's surprise attack. He was sure that even someone as strong-willed as the master would be affected by inhaling this concentration of fear gas.

In just an instant, the entire base room turned green, and the effects of the fear gas almost took effect instantly.

The wizards screamed, obviously affected in their thoughts and consciousness, and painful screams occasionally sounded during the deadly and swift pursuit of the two barrels.

The dangerous green beams burst out randomly.

Ava cast the death curse as if it cost nothing, and the fierce fire curse with the blue temptation was thrown at Mason by the great wizard Tengu.

The young man opened his penguin umbrella, and the magic inscription on the umbrella surface shone, blocking the fierce flames. Then, he pulled out the delicate flintlock pistol from his waist and shot at the Tengu who was casting spells in front of him.

Even a great wizard couldn't use teleportation during spellcasting. This bullet pierced through the blue fierce fire and hit the body of the great wizard.

But the soft lead bullet didn't cause any harm, it just tore the Tengu's robe and couldn't even penetrate his body. The gloomy neon old man smirked and pulled out a cherry wood wand.

The green light of death shone and was about to fall on Mason.

Then, he heard the sound of the sea.

The sound of the surging tide and the echoing of the waves reverberated, and the vulgar pirate song was transmitted clearly to everyone present.

Mason looked up and saw the phantom of a dilapidated ghost ship passing through the void under the lead of the lead bullet shot by Old Tige's lighter.

He could even see the pirates on the dilapidated ship, which was marked with the "Bard's Song" name, howling and celebrating.

On the bow of the ship, the majestic Old Tige swung his pirate knife forward, and this illusory ghost ship slammed into the great wizard Tengu under the push of the seawater like a heavy hammer.

In the terrifying loud noise, the dual impact on the body and will triggered an ice-cold glacier frenzy, instantly freezing the great wizard Tengu and the three wizards around him in ice.

Even if the Tengu could break free from the ice in the next second, it was already too late.

The pillar of purgatory fire summoned by Shacon fell, instantly engulfing the figures of the four wizards, plunging the entire base room into a raging sea of fire.

"Ah!" At the same time, screams came from the other side.

A high-level wizard seemed to have gone crazy.

He actually grabbed a samurai sword and wanted to engage in close combat with the two barrels. This was exactly what the two barrels wanted. If his shooting skill was probably at Lv6, then his close combat skill was at least around Lv8.

The two enchanted cursed blades, one long and one short, pierced through the heart of the miserable guy in just a few seconds. As he knelt down, he was beheaded ruthlessly from behind.

Mason looked at the burning sea of fire in front of him, picked up the legendary pistol that Judy lent him from his waist, activated the Eye of Death, and raised it to the other side, pulling the trigger.

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

Eight bullets flew out of the barrel, easily piercing through the wall and shattering the hearts and heads of the two female wizards who were preparing to call for reinforcements, both covered in blood.

The destructive power and accuracy of the legendary pistol made the young man sigh in his heart.

But obviously, there were more important things at the moment.

When the burning firelight dissipated, Mason picked up the laughing and crazy-looking Sorting Hat from it and took out the sealed Hufflepuff Cup, as well as the ghostly black blade from the penguin umbrella.

He looked at the struggling great wizard Tengu in the purgatory and placed the cup on the ground, grabbing the neck of the miserable old man and dragging him over.

The cold demon's head blade was pressed against his neck, and he said, "The Beast of Hogwarts' Doomsday greets you, Your Excellency, the great wizard. The undead of Hogwarts is waiting for you in hell. Please give my regards to Mr. Potter and Miss Granger on behalf of this transfer student from Hogwarts."

"Poof" The blade flashed, and blood burst out.

The noble blood of the pure-blooded great wizard poured out like a waterfall into the golden cup in front of him, resembling the post-battle celebration of the warriors in mythological legends who drank blood from a cup.

But this was just the beginning of Mason's "career" as a revenge seeker from Hogwarts.

It has to be said that this beginning was simply too cool.
