Chapter 126 - Dementors Swarm

"Awoooo" Hermione looked not far away at the werewolf who's trying to attack the real timeline Harry and made a wolf sound trying to attract the werewolf with her sound.

"What are you doing!" The future Harry saw Hermione trying to attract the werewolf to them and tried to stop her.

But Hermione didn't stop and made another wolf sound, which successfully attracted the werewolf.

So both of them turned around and started running away.

Both of them tried to hide between the trees, but soon the werewolf found them, which scared them.

But suddenly a tree trunk beside the werewolf moved and bounded Lupin by itself.

Looking at the scene both Harry and Hermione were stunned.

But before they could act the tree trunk moved again and threw Lupin to another tree not far away.

Lupin which is the werewolf was also panicked for a second and made a sound full of rage as soon as he stood up, but then the Hippogriff, Harry, and Hermione saved before appeared and stood in front of them protecting them from Lupin who wanted to attack again...

Seeing the Hippogriff appeared, Lupin felt the threat, and then turned around and left the place.

Harry looked at the Hippogriff saving them and felt relief... But Hermione looked at the tree trunk that moved weirdly behind and there was a deep doubt inside her eyes.

But they didn't have the chance to think because soon the Dementors on top of the forest moved to a current direction, showing that Sirius Black was found.

Looking at Harry and Hermione going away, Gray smiled and also looked at the Dementors above them.

Looking at those Dementors Gray hand felt a little itch...

Those Dementos might have a Soul attribute...

To tell the truth Gray doesn't want the soul attribute for himself anymore, after all... He's not really ready to go deeper into the soul...

But this doesn't mean he won't collect them...

besides.. the soul attribute is the best attribute to strengthen Perona, so he naturally wants to hunt every last one of them...

Well... He has only four extraction chances, so he can't extract all of them in one go.

Gray shook his head and looked at Lupin whose body was already bounded by many tree roots he's controlling...

'Still, not enough control' Gray can feel his control over those tree roots is very bad, not the level he wants...

How can he control them? Well... He found a new way to use transformation magic not a long time ago...

"Hmmm, it looks like some zombie wolf Dr. Hogback made before" Perona looked at Lupin's skinny body and said.

Lupin's werewolf form is not really beautiful... hearing her words, Gray said nothing, because... Lupin's look is really similar to a good condition zombie...

Gray walked near Lupin who kept struggling trying to attack him with a calm face.

*sight* Gray sighed while looking at Lupin in front of him.

He can't see any sanity from the werewolf in front of him... only a beast.

Gray thought for a second and touched Lupin's wolf skin.

Looking inside his C disk Gray found Lupin's problem...

Which is the [Werewolf genes]...

Werewolf is not a bloodline, not something based down on blood, and the only way to become a werewolf is to be bitten by a werewolf in their wolfish form at the time of the full moon, which will make something like a genetic mutation...

Well... He doesn't have a real way to remove it for now.. so Gray entered his D disk and looked inside.

Most of those skills are either useless for him, or he has them already... So Gray looked at the only thing he wants from Lupin.

[Patronus Charm] - 1GB.

Looking at the small size of this charm, Gray smiled and copied it.

This skill is not something really hard to learn, at first. and its only work is to repeal the dark creatures like the Dementors. But it's also true, that it's extremely complicated to make a full, corporeal Patronus. After all, it's one of the few advanced magics in this world.

Normally no one will meet those dark creatures, so not many wizards will learn it...

Unlike other spells that need so much control over the magic, this one only needs you to have good happy memories...

The happier those memories, the stronger the spell is...

Almost everyone can learn it with some effort.

Gray doesn't think he can use it directly, but he already knows how to use it in great detail, so he only needs to try a few times to get familiar with it first...

After copying it, Gray looked at Lupin's wolf eyes, and some mental energy was released from his eyes directly to Lupin's mind.

Lupin struggled for a few seconds, but under Gray's mental energy, Lupin's mind calmed down, and soon his body started returning to normal.

It's more like... scaring the wolf back to his hole...

Looking at this, Gray's eye twitched...

If Lupin has good mental control, he might not lose to his wolf side... Maybe...

Gray caught Lupin who's already unconscious and put him in one of the rooms inside the ring...

It's not good to let him stay here, besides, like this, the fact that he's a werewolf won't be spread out, and maybe this doom class won't be doomed again...

Well... Even though he knows Lupin won't really stay in school after today's accident...

After doing this, Gray was ready to follow Harry and Hermione who should be going to save Sirius Black and Harry himself who will be sucked alive by the Dementors.

But suddenly he felt something very wrong around him and looked up, not only Gray, even Nagini who was hiding in his hair all the time was provoked and showed herself looking at the sky.

While Perona beside Gray already caught his hand uneasily...

Well... The scene they saw is really scary...

Around the school, there should be many Dementors looking for Sirius Black, and Gray knows this, but what Gray saw was a ridiculous number of black Dementors covering the sky on top of them from all sides...

Looking at the Dementors around the place, Perona's mood changed so much, weirdly after attacking the Dementor on the train before, she always had something weird like feeling breeding inside her heart. And now seeing all those Dementors appearings here, her heart oppression became stronger and stronger, which for the first time she felt weak like this because of the feeling.

She doesn't understand this deep and annoying feeling, it's not hurting her, Nor it's making her feel good, she only doesn't feel it's right...

*HOOOO* The hollowed sound of the Dementors can be heard and a deep coldness spread everywhere.

The number of those dark creatures were so many that even the clouds looked icy for a second.

'That's not right...' The scene is really not right...

With such a large number of Dementors, Harry's big Patronus won't really repel all of them, but before he thinks too much, he found out what was wrong...

Those Dementors are not going in Harry's direction...

But...

Without much thinking Gray firmly grasped Perona's hand and...

*WOOG* Both Gray, Nagini, and Perona disappeared from the place.

As soon as Gray and Perona disappeared, all the Dementors in the sky froze for a second and made a hollowed sound as if they were angry, but soon all of them changed direction and moved to another direction in the forest, and only a few drifted to Harry and Hermione's direction...

If someone saw this, even if he was Dumbledore, they will only feel a cold heart...

The Dementors had never gathered in such a huge number...

...

...

...

Somewhere in the forest, the place where Gray and Perona destroyed the spider's nest before.

*WOOG*

From the void, a tearing sound appeared, and Gray who's used Apparition to run away appeared with Nagini and Perona.

Looking at the empty space around him Gray calmed down and looked at where he was before.

'The Dementors are following us?!' This is the first thought that came to Gray's mind.

At first, he ignored the Dementors, after all, they only follower their target, which should be Sirius black...

But what made him feel wrong is... The Dementors were gathering and actually ready to attack them...

As a Haki user, he can feel it... Those Dementors were ready to attack them...

Which also made him feel weird...

He did nothing to provoke those damn creatures... So they shouldn't really come after them...

What Gray thought odder was the ridiculously large number of Dementors that appeared...

'What is happening here!' This is the first time Gray felt such a coldness inside his heart... No wonder they are known as the darkest creatures in the world...

Even though he's not really scared of them, but it's better not to fight with them... especially with that large number of them...

"Gray..." Perona beside Gray touched her head and called Gray's name softly, then her body suddenly lost its power, and stood unbalanced.

"Perona! what's wrong with you!" Gray's reaction was also fast and directly carried her and let her rest on his shoulder while looking at her pale white face.

While Nagini also changed her size and looked at Perona with doubt...

But before she answers him, Gray felt the coldness again...

So he turned his head and looked at the calm forest again...

And what he saw.... was a mass of dark Dementors moving through the trees and the sky, in his direction...

....
