Chapter 244: Beast vs Construct

"Ahhhrg!!" The man let out a scream of rage.

As he did this, his eyes changed color to a bright and unnatural yellow. His muscles bulged even more, and fur started to coat his entire body.

"What is happening? What is he doing?" Daphne was startled by the sudden change.

Lily was more surprised than anything else because she knew this transformation very well. She had seen it many times when she and her husband had kept Remus company during full moon nights.

"This is impossible...we are two weeks away from the full moon," Lily said.

"Full moon?...wait, you mean this is a werewolf?!" Daphne then understood. They had briefly covered werewolves this year in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This man was not a normal werewolf. He was one of the elite soldiers from Fenrir Greyback's pack.

Like their leader, he had achieved enough mastery over his curse to transform at will.

However, unlike Fenrir himself, he would still lose himself to his savage instincts when transformed. This was not a concern for him at this moment...his companions were dead....he had nothing to lose.

"We cannot let him transform..." Lily focused her magic and made a diagonal slashing motion. "Diffindo!"

The werewolf's eyes became sharp as a blade. He twisted his body while it was still transforming and avoided the spell completely.

Daphne hurried to retrieve her wand from the floor and tried to restrain the creature's movement. "Incarcerous!" She sent the ropes along with a tripping jinx.

"Grrrrr...." The beastman snarled loudly, showing his fangs. His yellow eyes became brighter as he stared at his target...ready to jump at it again and finish it off.

"We should help it out," Daphne said in a nervous tone. That beastman made her extremely nervous.

Lily nodded. She knew what was at stake. If the golem was destroyed...they were next.

"Tap...Tap..." The golem started moving forward towards its target.

"Wait, no!!" Lily tried to warn the construct. Her sticking charm was still in place, right ahead of him. If it continued on that path, it would certainly step on it and get stuck...then the fight would be quickly over.

The golem did not listen to her warning and continued, leaving Lily with no other choice but to remove the magical substance from the floor before it was too late.

Unfortunately, the golem had increased its pace, leaving her not enough time to dispel the jinx.

"Stop!...wait!" Lily hurried with her hand movements.

Her eyes were glued to the floor where the golem was about to step on the green substance. "Finite Incantat...what?!"

She did not have time to finish her chant when the feet of the golem took the next step. Much to her surprise, it did not get stuck.

Instead...the sticky substance moved out of the way, allowing the golem's feet to step on the clean stone.

One by one, the golem continued to step forward and every time its feet were about to touch the magical sticky substance, this one would move away like it was repelled by the golem's presence.

"Anti-magic?!" It was the only conclusion that Lily could reach at this point.

She had only read about it in theories at this point. But there were some people who had worked on trying to create a material capable of nullifying magic or at least repel it to some degree.

It was different from the magical resistance of trolls or dragons. This method would basically push the magic away from the material, like magnets of opposite poles instead of resisting it.

The researchers did not get too far though. Some of them ended up with the conclusion that it was not possible, while others believed they were at least a century away from having the magical technology to create something like that.

But somehow...the golem in front of her had such defenses.
