433 Make Sushi with these easy to follow steps :

Reima can feel his adrenaline pumping as he hadn't had a good fight in a while. He tosses Ciri's new sword Seath at her while retrieving his own Moonlight Greatsword. This reason he chose this? It's weight and special ability make it useful at staying on the lake bed and using range attacks. He reckons that slicing attacks will probably due to most damage against it but suspects it has some amount of magical resistance.

Without warning one of the squids grabbing tentacles whip up and try to bind Ciri, however due to the Rusty Iron Ring she's still wearing she easily cuts it a few meters shorter. An moaning sound echoes through the water, louder than even the Killer Whale had been. Luckily it isn't enough to deafen them, however it does distract Ciri enough for it to squirt an incredibly large amount of black ink in her direction.

Ciri "This better just be ink!" she shouts indignantly as she retreats to escape it.

Reima seems to have offended it somehow as it's eight spiked legs are currently trying to spear him through. He dodges the first while bringing his sword down on another like a cleaver at a butchers, it easily severs the majority of it's tentacle which seems to stun it momentarily, he then proceeds to use his telekinesis on the tip of the tentacle which shoots towards it's original owner. A sadistic grin appears on his face as it connects with one of it's huge eyes, making it spasm in an attempt to avoid more pain.

However it seems that taking out part of it's vision wasn't a great idea as it thrashes around and begins to destroy the majority of the Merman village, mangled bodies of the residents to start floating to the surface.

Reima conjures a couple Crystal Soul Spear that shoot towards it however the squid elects to sacrifice some of it's arms to redirect their trajectory. With three tentacles destroyed and another bisected it leaves six left to deal with.

Ciri finally manages to exit the ink and seems slightly put out that Reima had already almost dealt with the threat, she starts running towards it but realises the Rusty Iron Ring is preventing her from reaching her target, she takes it off mid jump in an attempt to preserve her moment before pocketing the ring.

She swims closer to it, staff and sword in hand. She casts a couple Expulsio's which explode when they connect with it's rubbery flesh but it doesn't seem to do much damage, maybe because of the particular spell or maybe because of it's magical resistance? Either way she swings Seath as hard and fast as she can underwater at it which releases a blue flash which gouges a large line above it's remaining eye, causing blue blood to start flowing out in large amounts.

The squid launches it's remaining tentacles at Ciri in a last ditch attempt attack, she puts the Rusted Iron Ring back on which causes her to fall quickly, barely dodging the barrage of tentacles. However Reima decides to end the fight as they'd both had enough fun at this point.

He blinks next to it with the Moonlight Greatsword mid swing and completely cleaves it in two with the assistance of it's special ability, blue blood explodes out as two parts of it's body separates and begins floating in opposite directions. Reima wastes no time and pulls out a knife before quickly carving it's remaining eye out and depositing it in a jar. He stores it away with a look of contentment at gaining another trophy.

Ciri swims up to him and gives him a fist bump as they swim to the surface with it's corpse, she doesn't really care about points and Harry would have probably reached the shore already. Besides, slaying a huge creature would always be a more impressive feat in her eyes. Reima stores away his weapons as to look like a regular hostage, all the while hoping Harry had kept his mouth shut.

However before they even reached the shore, it was already a chaotic situation.

Ludo "WHO IS THAT? IT'S HARRY POTTER!?! HE'S BROUGHT THREE OF THE FOUR HOSTAGES? IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED?!"

Harry assists the girls in climbing up the scaffolding before pulling himself up, however he's violently grabbed by his collar when he gets to his feet.

Karkaroff "WHERE IS VIKTOR!?" He shouts, eyeing Cho up and down.

Dumbledore "Igor! Leave the boy alone, I'm sure there is a valid explanation.

Karkaroff "Nonesense! He stole Viktor's hostage leaving him still down there, looking for her!"

The crowd watches intensely as they'd been bored out of their minds for around fifty minutes straight.

Harry "I'm sorry but, Victors dead!" exclaims, causing shock to overtake everyone.

Karkaroff's hand trembles, "..W-WHAT!"

Harry "I-it was a Giant Squid! It ate him and Ciri's still fighting it!" he shouts, causing the audience to turn their gaze to the lake where blue blood was starting to pool in a certain area.

Fleur walks up to Harry with Gabrielle firmly squashed into her arms, "Iz she ok? What about Rei?" she quickly asks, which has Harry looking pale. She begins to fear the worst when he replies "They.. They're fine, I'm just worried about whether or not they'll be able to escape the Squid."

Fleur breathes a sigh of relief much to the confusion of Harry. "Do you know something I don't?" he asks suspiciously.

Fleur looks sheepish but plays it off, "Zey will be fine, thank you again for saving my sister." she says, kissing both of his cheeks, much to the ire of Miss Granger who hugs him closely despite them both still being soaking wet.
