Blake’s Magic Surges as He Faces the Invisible Monster
…
Although Blake was still grumbling inwardly, the changes in his body still made him feel excited.
He reached out and touched his arm.
His arms had originally been slender, but now clearly defined biceps had appeared, and his entire body had gained another layer of solid muscle.
Fine…
As a wizard, being a little stronger physically should still be considered normal, right?
Feeling the sudden increase in strength, Blake gradually slowed his running pace before finally stopping altogether.
Physical strength and magical power were related to a certain extent.
This meant that even though the system hadn’t specifically mentioned it, the amount of magic he could store had also skyrocketed along with his physical strength.
The weakness caused by excessive consumption earlier had now completely disappeared.
More importantly, his magical adaptability had also improved.
When practicing magic, Blake had been able to cast spells without a wand, but he had always felt that the flow of magic was somewhat stiff.
But now, he only had to sense the power within his body to understand what true smoothness felt like.
Every trace of magic seemed to have merged into his body.
As long as he wanted it to, that power would immediately flow according to his thoughts.
Now that his magic was plentiful and so easy to control, Blake naturally had no reason to keep running.
At this moment, he was already very confident that he could kill that monster.
He wouldn’t even need any advanced magic.
Basic Transfiguration alone would be enough!
“You… why did you suddenly stop?”
Hermione noticed that Blake had stopped running and could only stop as well.
She bent over, breathing heavily, her face filled with confusion.
She had absolutely no idea what Blake was thinking.
He had been the one desperately rushing forward just now, and now he was the one stopping for no apparent reason. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Not long after the two of them stopped, another deafening roar came from deep within the woods!
There was no need to guess.
The monster had already broken free from the vines.
Hermione’s face instantly turned pale.
She had originally been wondering whether Blake’s claim about a tiger was true.
But after hearing a roar like this, she instead felt that whatever was out there was even more dangerous than a tiger.
The roar sent chills through her, raising goosebumps across her skin.
“What… what exactly did you do to attract something so terrifying?”
Hermione’s voice trembled as she spoke.
“I accidentally injured myself earlier and lost some blood.”
“You mean it followed us because it smelled the blood?”
“What exactly is that monster?”
Hearing the increasingly approaching roars, Hermione was already preparing to run farther away.
But for some reason, after Blake stopped, he had no intention of leaving.
At the same time, Blake was recalling the identity of the monster.
Because his memory had improved so dramatically, he could now clearly recall the relevant information he had read in his previous life.
Information about all kinds of magical creatures flashed through his mind.
Finally, he remembered a record that matched every characteristic.
A Hidebehind.
This creature usually hid during the day and only came out at night, primarily living in forests.
It only preyed on creatures with human-like appearances and possessed the innate ability to turn invisible.
Hidebehinds were enormous, covered from head to toe in silvery-white fur, and looked like gigantic bears that walked on two legs.
Even ordinary wizards were in great danger when facing them.
As for Muggles without magical abilities, once they were attacked, they were basically nothing more than food.
“So it was you… a Hidebehind.”
Blake lowered his voice.
Hermione didn’t hear what he had muttered.
“I said we might already be too late to run.”
“What? But we…”
“Bang!”
A loud crash interrupted Hermione.
In the open ground less than five meters away from them, a large crater suddenly appeared!
“What is happening?”
Hermione stared at the patch of ground in panic.
There had been nothing there.
So why had the soil suddenly been crushed by such an obvious depression?
Blake looked at Hermione with a hint of regret.
Her fear was extremely intense right now, but unfortunately, the emotion hadn’t been caused by him.
Otherwise, the system would probably have drawn another chest.
Perhaps once he had the opportunity in the future, he could find a way to scare her…
“That is a monster capable of hiding its body. As for exactly what it is, I don’t know either.”
Blake deliberately concealed the truth.
After all, as far as anyone knew, he was just an ordinary child who had grown up in an orphanage.
He had no reason to know about Hidebehinds.
Moreover, Hermione was right beside him, so he couldn’t casually use spells with powerful offensive capabilities.
A Muggle child who had never been exposed to the magical world shouldn’t have learned such magic in advance.
Transfiguration, however, could be explained.
This kind of magic didn’t rely on fixed incantations.
