Three-Headed Dog: I have never seen such a despicable trick!

A mere toothpick dares to challenge them?!

Disturbed from its sleep, the three-headed dog bared its fangs in fury, its six bright yellow eyes glaring wide like copper bells.

Three heads snapped back to their feet simultaneously, sticky saliva flying like ropes in the wind, as they roared in fury—

"I'll take the first strike!"

Ethan interrupted Cerberus's initial animation, waving his wand and rapidly chanting a spell:

"The force is released!"

The three spells shot out like sharp arrows!

Before the three-headed dog could react, its three heads were struck squarely by the spell!

Precise hit!

One of the arrows even hit the eye of one of the heads.

"roar--!"

The three-headed dog roared in pain and rage.

The sound was like thunder, booming through the narrow room and making Ethan's ears tingle.

Wow, that's powerful!

Upon his first time traversing the treacherous terrain, Ethan faced such a powerful and awe-inspiring opponent that his heart raced and his adrenaline surged.

The spell that could instantly bring down an enemy only slowed down Cerberus.

But that's enough.

The three-headed dog shook its head, trying its best to recover from its drunken state.

Ethan's figure was reflected in his orange-yellow eyes, which were spitting out a tangible rage.

—They ate that arrogant little toothpick!!!

"call!"

The fangs snapped at Ethan, but in slow motion, Ethan had ample time to dodge.

Unlike Snape, who opened the door to a surprise only to be bitten.

—My turn, draw a card!

Ethan stumbled and disappeared into the portal that had opened in the wall.

The figure disappeared.

"Gurgle?"

The three-headed dog pounced on empty air, its eyes wide with confusion as it stared at the hollow space before it.

Where did that little toothpick go?

His nose twitched wildly as he sniffed the unique aroma that was a mixture of nuts and minerals.

next second.

The smell appeared above their heads!

Ethan leaped from mid-air, landing steadily on the back of the three-headed dog like an ancient knight taming a ferocious dragon!

"roar!!!"

The three-headed dog immediately flew into a rage.

They've grown up, and even your dear dad can't ride on them anymore!

Not to mention a skinny little toothpick!

If it weren't for those three strange spells that rendered them all powerless instantly.

They had already violently flung him off the moment that wretched little toothpick stepped on him!

The three-headed dog was about to turn its head and pounce.

But at that moment, they suddenly lost their footing and half of their bodies fell down!

Suddenly, a large, dark pit appeared on the ground, and one of their feet sank into it!

His whole body tilted to the side instantly!

Cerberus: ? ? ?

There was a trap?!

What a rip-off!

Indeed, Ethan's portal could not transmit to such a massive object.

But that doesn't mean he can't transmit "a portion" of it!

Question: How many steps does it take to put an elephant in a refrigerator?

On the back of the three-headed dog.

Ethan grinned, staring at the out-of-balance Cerberus, and smiled devilishly.

They've caught them.

Who said portals can only transport things?

It can also be used as a trap to stun creatures!

—By the way.

When the portal closes, the items stuck inside will either return to their original positions or pop out.

Instead of simply eliminating it like Apparition.

Ethan was very disappointed.

Because if it were feasible, he could learn one less cutting spell.

"The final blow! Shatter to pieces!!"

Ethan grabbed the three-headed dog by the mane with one hand and raised his wand with the other, his cobalt blue eyes burning with the light of justice!

Three crimson spells, like comets, pierced through the dimly lit room and struck the ceiling!

One spell might not be enough to cover the entire area.

What about the third one?

Ethan was confident he could collapse this entire room!

"boom--!"

Like an avalanche, large chunks of rock fell and slammed heavily onto the three-headed dog's head!

They smashed their already crooked bodies directly into the cracked floor!

"Awoo!"

The three-headed dog howled, and as it struggled, sharp stones rolled off its back.

There's a reason why Hogwarts has stood the test of time for so long.

The ceiling material was very hard, causing each falling rock to hit its mark with a critical strike.

finally.

The three-headed dog struggled to its feet, collapsing back down in exhaustion, raising clouds of dust.

Smoke and dust billowed.

It swept around like a thick fog rising in the early morning.

The duel is over.

"despair."

A slight sound rang out.

Ethan stepped out through the swirling dust, like a visitor from another world emerging from the gray fog, with steady and leisurely steps.

—Just before the ceiling collapsed.

Ethan then disarmed the three-headed dog trap and opened the door to leave.

He stopped in front of the three-headed dog's massive head, looking down at them as they glared at him angrily.

"roar!"

The three-headed dog continued to growl hoarsely and threaten.

However, they could not stand up no matter what.

Lou Williams stared at the little kid in front of him.

I never imagined that I would be the one being hunted.

Why is it that this tiny baby, no bigger than a toothpick, doesn't cry out, run away randomly, or cast useless spells?

Louie has seen many other humans.

Apart from his beloved dad, no one is as calm as this little toothpick in front of him.

Even the foul-smelling human who had broken in earlier froze in place, and finally scrambled out.

But this little toothpick had everything planned out from the moment it entered the room.

Then execute it without any deviation.

It seems like they've never known what fear is.

Only the battles are exhilarating.

And that eerie door...

They had never seen a human use such magic before!

So insidious! So despicable!

Is this still a duel?!

Cerberus felt wronged, as he felt he hadn't participated at all in the battle.

He was cursed three times from the start, his feet were stuck in a door and he couldn't move, and finally he was taken away by the ceiling.

They had no power to resist at all.

Ethan: "That was a truly exhilarating battle."

Cerberus: "..."

Bro, whatever makes you happy.

Ethan raised his wand and, under the three-headed dog's gaze, which was now tinged with fear, whispered:

"Restored to its original condition."

A gentle yet powerful magic lifted the stone and repositioned it onto the ceiling.

Like a gentle spring breeze, the room returned to its original state in just a few breaths.

"Healed as before".

Ethan waved his wand again, and the gentle magic caressed the three-headed dog's body.

The bleeding stopped, the torn skin and flesh slowly healed, and a crisp cracking sound came from inside the body.

"Heal as before" originally could only treat minor injuries in humans.

But with Ethan's level of magic, he could heal this big dog.

Moreover, the three-headed dog was not seriously injured.

He was unable to stand up only because of a fractured bone and a curse.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, apart from your head, your skeletal structure is no different from that of an ordinary dog."

"Otherwise, your bone will be misaligned after the repair, haha."

Ethan laughed heartily.

They had absolutely no awareness that they had almost turned the three-headed dog into another species.

"..."

The three-headed dog shook its fur and stood up again.

He stared at the little furry creature in front of him with a complicated expression.

This little toothpick actually treated itself... What exactly is it trying to do?

Did you come over in the middle of the night just to beat me up?

There's definitely more to this than meets the eye!

The three-headed dog cautiously stared at Ethan.

He made up his mind that if this little toothpick dared to take a step forward, he would eat it in one bite!
