That Day of Khorne

"Merlin, by your side! What on earth is that?!"

The referee screamed, staggered backward, and fell to the ground with a thud, staring up in horror and disbelief—

That thing can hardly be called a "living thing".

It was five or six meters tall, and its jet-black sideburns fluttered in the wind, as if draped in an irregular shadow.

Flames erupted from its body, and it was injured by the flames, revealing charred, bright red flesh that continuously dripped thick blood and emitted a nauseating rusty smell.

Even more terrifying is—Merlin! This creature actually has three heads!

Each head was enormous, thrashing about in a rage, its orange-red pupils filled with nothing but endless bloodlust.

Saliva dripped down from those fangs in strings, like several sticky ropes hanging from them.

The three heads stared at them hungrily, their claws scratching impatiently at the ground, leaving charred marks.

The sheer size of the monsters alone is enough to inspire awe.

The giant monster could be killed with a single bite in front of this creature.

Extreme panic created a deathly silence that permeated the wasteland.

Ludo Bagman was dumbfounded.

He froze on the recliner, his mouth agape in an "O," staring blankly at the thing that looked like someone had opened the gates of hell and released it.

My mind went completely blank.

There was only one ridiculous thought:

If the Director of the Department of Physical Education at the Ministry of Magic were to die in a tournament he himself organized, he would probably be hung on the pillar of shame.

But... why hasn't the monster pounced on us yet?

The question has not yet been answered.

It was interrupted by a piercing scream.

"Quickly—protect the students!!!"

The professional Aurors finally reacted, raising their wands and unleashing various spells from all directions.

What "collapsed to the ground in a daze," what "all turned to stone," what "immediately imprisoned"...

It's not that it's useless, but it does have a visual effect.

"roar!!!"

The three-headed dog was enraged, and its whole body glowed red!

It leaped up and rushed in front of the Auror in an instant, opening its scarlet maw to pounce!

"stop."

A clear voice rang out.

In the chaos, the voice seemed insignificant.

However, it was this insignificant sound that made the three-headed dog suddenly stop what it was doing.

"..."

The Aurors froze on the spot, staring in horror at the gigantic maw that was so close at hand.

The heat of the flames, mixed with the strong smell of rust, hit me in the face.

The fangs were just a second away from tearing their bodies in two.

"Don't eat them, you've got the wrong target."

Ethan walked over slowly.

Amidst the shocked and stunned gazes of the crowd, he walked to the monster's side.

He smiled affectionately, as if treating a small pet:

"Our goal is in the forest."

"Gurgle..."

The three-headed dog retracted its head.

Suppressing his violent impulses, he waited, panting heavily.

"..."

Everyone is stupid.

It was so illogical that their minds couldn't comprehend what was happening before them!

Is this child the master of this monster?

How...how is this possible?!

at this time.

Ludo Bagman only realized this belatedly.

Why didn't the monster pounce on them and tear them to pieces the moment it appeared?

Because its master, the Aurors, deemed it an object that needed protection and rescue, did not issue an order.

The cold wind howled.

In the dead silence, Ethan bowed to the stunned crowd.

Like the performers at the opening ceremony, he politely said:

"Well then, everyone."

"I'm off."

He finished speaking.

Ethan raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Then the enormous three-headed monster roared excitedly to the sky, its body suddenly lowering, its muscles bulging.

The next second—

"Bang!"

Leaping up like a spring!

With a few leaps, he disappeared into the woods.

How to win the championship?

Ethan's idea was simple.

As long as you eliminate all the other competitors, you're guaranteed to pass the level.

Wouldn't that naturally make you number one?

On the middle head of the three-headed dog, a round eyeball opened with a gurgling sound from its forehead.

—Painting: [Door in the Eye]!

Ethan closed his left eye, sharing his vision with the three-headed dog, watching the surrounding trees rush past.

He grinned with delight.

I'm here, prey!

......

The Ifamoni team is participating.

Instead of splitting into smaller groups, the twelve of them gathered together.

Following the compass pointing north, they proceeded cautiously and quickly forward.

Even if wild animals, such as large aquatic mosquitoes or white apes, occasionally attack, the outer perimeter team can issue an alert immediately.

"We're definitely going to be in the top ten this year, and maybe even the school with the most rankings!"

A young man named Jenny said, glancing around excitedly and alertly.

"While we didn't have any outstanding students like Viktor Krum this year, we were all very excellent!"

"They even adopted a new tactic: advancing as a group, not in separate teams!"

"Our name might not be in the top three, but we should at least account for half of the remaining seven spots!"

"Okay, darling~ Stop giving your speech and watch your step~"

Beside me, a girl with acne on her face said sweetly.

The surrounding classmates started to clamor:

"Showing off your love in public will only lead to a quick death! Watch out, a ferocious beast might jump out and eat you!"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Jenny waved his wand triumphantly and said confidently:

"Even if there are monsters, my raging flames can easily burn them to ashes!"

After showing off.

The surroundings were completely silent.

No one responded to him.

Jenny turned his head in confusion and saw his teammates staring at him in horror.

For some reason, I felt inexplicably nervous.

Jenny swallowed hard and joked:

"What's wrong? Are you scared by my imposing presence?"

"..."

My girlfriend's face looked like it had been coated with quicklime, a completely grayish-white color.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrifying beyond reason.

A few seconds later.

She then raised her hand, trembling, and pointed behind Jenny.

"Hey, this isn't funny at all..."

Jenny swallowed hard and slowly, very slowly, turned his head.

What came into view was an enormous head.

Its orange-red pupils were fixed on him, and in the center of its forehead was an incredibly eerie eyeball that was rolling around.

Saliva dripped from its fangs.

Then, from the shadows, two more heads emerged, one on the left and one on the right.

—This is a monster with three heads.

"Ah...ah..."

Jenny's heart nearly stopped. He staggered backward, only to be pushed by his girlfriend behind him.

"Fire! Flames are raging!!"

He raised his wand and instinctively shouted.

"call!"

A pillar of fire shot out from his wand and instantly enveloped the monster's head!

"roar!"

Hearing the monster's painful howls, Jenny felt a surge of joy:

efficient!

however.

"roar--!!!"

The furious roar was deafening, and Jenny's ears rang, momentarily deaf.

The flames were indeed effective; the three heads that reappeared all had large burns on them.

Like a worn-out carpet, revealing a bright red interior.

But it became even angrier.

Undeterred in the slightest, the pain of the injury only fueled his ferocity.

Jenny's heart sank to the bottom.

Oh dear, I'm about to die.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

Screams echoed through the silent swamp forest, startling flocks of birds into flight.

The Ifamoni team was wiped out.

Not far away.

The two Slytherin students looked up in the direction from which the scream had come and exclaimed in shock:

"What happened?!"
