In fact, Slytherin's snake stick is not a great thing - at least it can't be compared with the ancient treasure of Gryffindor sword. Not to mention, Salazar Slytherin didn't design it with the idea of making weapons.
In the final analysis, it is just a prop specially used to display the seal magic. It just happens to have a certain degree of guidance and increase for the spell caster's magic, which gives Ernst a feeling that it can be used to replace the magic wand.
After all, it's not hard to guess where and under what circumstances he got it at that time.
However, this snake stick is still elaborately made and held by the famous wizard Salazar Slytherin thousands of years ago, and even sealed by the ancient black wizard helbo. Even if the growth effect of the spell is only incidental, it is amazing enough now.
"Faint!"
At that moment, Ernst suddenly waved his walking stick forward and read the mantra clearly. Immediately, several red arcs of light were emitted from the snake's mouth at the head of the staff, and the momentum greatly crossed several dazzling arcs and fell towards the huge shadow pressing down on the bow.
Yes, the momentum alone is enough to surprise everyone.
However, unfortunately, even if this snake stick has an extraordinary origin and power, the actual application effect also depends on the actual situation. If you are too weak and the enemy is too strong, an excessive strength gap will completely erase the growth effect!
Especially when Ernst clearly knew nothing about the existence of the enemy.
"Ho! Ho! Ho --"
A series of firelights exploded one after another on the unknown shadow "octopus", and its power was obvious to all - the impact of the explosion made the tilted change shake several times, which surprised everyone on board again.
But when the light dissipated, Snape and Alexander, who were near the bow, found that the big guy was still unharmed at all.
Is your strength insufficient and your attack strength insufficient? Or is it because you used the wrong spell?
"... or both?"
Holding a snake stick, Ernst stared at the huge enemy in the fog, and his heart was in chaos.
In fact, this seems to be the first time he officially used Slytherin's gift in actual combat, but he immediately ran into a wall in front of the cruel reality.
He doesn't know what to do next.
"What are you doing? Go back and help others... And find a way to get as many students as possible to evacuate the change!"
Seeing that Ernst was stunned because he angrily shot but failed to return, Snape immediately waved his wand, pulled his clothes and threw him behind.
"And you, wolf, you too!"
"Well... Professor Snape, what about you?" Alexander said involuntarily.
"Me?"
Snape frowned and said impatiently:
"Finish what I promised others, and I can leave you annoying little guys at any time!"
……
When the deck was in chaos because the enemy finally appeared... To be honest, the cabin was no more reassuring than the outside.
The previous soul scream can be heard by the whole ship... And even the whole nearby sea area. Right now, in Trelawney's room where Professor McGonagall had just been, Muggle research professor bubagi still couldn't support it and fainted. Trelawney, who had already fallen asleep in bed, fell out of bed because of the previous two large inclinations of the ship, and rolled into the corner of the room with the fainting bubagi.
But under such circumstances, McGonagall, who had returned to the office, was still unaware of the terrible howling except for the inclination of the hull.
"Maka... Maka... Can you hear me? The change is in a great crisis! If you can hear me, you'd better come to the rescue as soon as possible -"
Now MEG was sitting behind her desk. Everything in the whole office was scattered because of the continuous inclination of the whole ship, which made her roughly understand what terrible threat was being suffered outside without feeling the whistling.
In her hand, an oval stone slab the size of a palm of a hand is emitting a faint faint blue light. There is a circle of ancient magic words around it, which seems to have magic flowing in it all the time.
This is a round stone mirror. It was a rune prop made by Maka before Maka and Hermione invented a rune card. Because the technology is not mature, there will be a certain degree of loss every time it is used, and it is specially left here for emergency communication.
At least that's what Maka told MEG.
However, when the change was really in danger, it couldn't contact Maka at all. Instead... In fact, she now began to doubt whether it was because of this stone mirror that she was not attacked by soul screams like others.
Yes, what's happening now... Seems a little too inexplicable.
"Alas!"
As soon as the rune mirror was put on the table, MEG frowned and thought for a while, and then sighed again.
She is no longer young now. Life and death is not what she cares about. But at the thought of the safety of so many students on board, she couldn't calm down.
"No... in short, use the door key to send some people out... Even if the number is small, one can survive!"
She does have some door keys here, but because the change itself can be easily transferred in various waters, the stock is very small.
However
"Creak -"
I don't know what's going on outside. The whole ship shook suddenly again, which made MEG couldn't help it anymore. She seemed to ignore the unknown situation of herself. She got up and wanted to leave the office again. She took the door key and went to the deck to save people.
But at the moment when she stood up, she saw a flash of blue light on the table in front of her, and then a figure appeared quietly in front of her.
"Who are you...?"
The other party's figure was very tall, but MEG couldn't see the other party because he was covered with a larger hooded cloak.
Only the muscles and tall body can't hide such a big cloak.
Then, the inexplicable man didn't answer McGonagall's question. As soon as he turned around, he resolutely pushed the door out.
"Wait!"
