Chapter 245: Following the traces

The white golem continued on its path, while the werewolf got ready to fight back. The golem's broken arm remained attached to the werewolf's upper arm. Its fingers were clutching with such force that the creature was unable to remove it from himself.

"Grggg... I'm going to break you!" The beast spoke in an unnatural voice.

The golem was only a few feet away but did not seem to be in a hurry to get closer, as it moved very slowly, one step at a time.

The muscles on the werewolf's legs tightened up as he got ready to jump at the construct, ready to take another arm with him. But right before he could do that, he felt incredible pain in his arm.

"Argggg!" The beastman screamed and looked at the source of this pain. The detached golem's limb was now actively increasing its grip on his arm.

Everyone present heard a loud 'crunch' when the bones in the arm snapped, but the golem's limb continued to press as the werewolf screamed and tried to remove it.

The golem used this distraction to charge at the werewolf. It closed the twenty feet between them in less than a second. Its body twisted as it sent its remaining fist straight at the werewolf's head.

He could not react in time, as he had been distracted trying to pry its arm off him.

The white marble fist impacted the werewolf's right side of his face, breaking his nose, jaw, and turning his right eye into mush before making the beast collide violently against the ground.

Lily and Daphne stared without blinking at the werewolf. His body continued to twitch a few times before it finally stopped moving.

"Here, Sir!" The house elf said while pointing past a large door arch.

Harry had let the elf carry him to the place where they had spotted the intruders entering the castle.

"The Astronomy classroom..." He muttered. "I think I already know how they came inside."

With the wards' protections turned off, there were many good spots to enter the castle without being noticed.

The balcony of the Astronomy Tower was massive, and it overlook an empty forestal area at the back of the castle. A good place to sneak inside.

He went inside the large chamber and soon spotted a large number of objects that shouldn't be there, left carelessly in one corner.

"That's a lot of brooms..." Harry gave them a quick count, and it seemed to be over thirty. He turned to look at the elf. "How many did you see exactly?"

"Ah...well...lots of them, Sir!" The elf answered nervously.

"Forty-four humans and five trolls!"

Harry moved his eyes towards a large painting near the entrance. It depicted a peaceful night scenery. An elegant knight was standing on a field, looking directly at him.

"That's a lot of intruders...the humans were all dressed in black robes and wore white masks?" Harry asked.

"No, my Lord." The knight answered. "Only fifteen of the humans were dressed as you mentioned. The rest just looked like uneducated thugs...ruffians, if I may. They lifted those ugly creatures with chains and unleashed them in the castle! This is preposterous. If only I still had my body, I wou-"

"Okay, I understand, my good Sir." Harry interrupted the grumpy knight. "I will handle this. Did you happen to see where they went?"

"Of course! This old knight saw everything. Let me tell you."
