There was a distinctive wolf howl in the distance, but Delphine didn't even move her head toward the sound, continuing on her way. I took my wand out of my holster, just in case. My hearing was quite sensitive, so I promptly reacted to the appearance of a hefty and shaggy werewolf from the side of the trees, which imdiately rushed in our direction. Two more appeared from the other side.
I didn't stop but instantly pointed my wand, which was about to form the outline of a spell, and said:
"Cumilaris."
The blob of swirling deford space was fast, even for . It overtook the werewolf, who was about to dodge almost instantly, tearing him into many pieces and splashing blood, throwing them back, and twisting them in a spiral. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed how Delphine instantly threw an imperceptibly fast blob of matter from the tip of her wand, which pierced the chest of the second werewolf rushing at us. At the sa mont, thin spikes literally grew out of his body, as if a morgenstern appeared in the werewolf's chest. The spikes shifted several tis quickly, slicing the werewolf's flesh into many small pieces that crumbled along the trajectory of his movent.
We hit the third werewolf simultaneously, which caused it to simply be scattered in a bloody ss.
I didn't think of that. Will you give a hand?
and along with Rowena's words, I felt a slight outflow of magic, along with which ca a vague awareness of the space around us.
We walked on quietly as if nothing had happened.
"Where did the werewolves co from?" I asked Delphine in a quiet voice.
"It has long been rumored that one branch of the Selwyn family has been practicing forced transformation into a werewolf even without the influence of the moon."
"Themselves?"
"No, of course not. Anyone at all. As watchdogs. The technology is unknown, but apparently, it works. No family will allow a free pack to walk around in the imdiate vicinity of their ho."
In the night darkness of the forest, we reached a small empty clearing, on which there was only bare ground. It's the middle of November, the grass has withered, the ferns have darkened, but even so, there should have been vegetation here.
"Here we are. The mansion is here," Delphine stood at the very edge of the woods, like , hiding in the shadows without any magic so that if I hadn't known of her presence, I would have spent a long ti trying to see anything at all.
"Fidelius?"
"No. Fidelius feels different. During my trips to Asia, I have encountered hidden spaces many tis. It's just a strong disguise here. True Light and Dark magic have a lot in common - consciousness, emotions, worldview. The "trustworthy" charm got its na for a reason."
She didn't say more, and I listened to the magic around . It is only necessary to take a step forward, and you will imdiately fall under the influence of magic fields, screens, and charms that are not very clear to . Not far away, the howl was heard again, imdiately choked. It seems that black creatures don't waste any ti either.
Lady Greengrass pulled sothing out again from under the hem of her robe.
"Once you remove the protection, I'll put up anti-apparation barriers and other movent blockages. Combat apparation will remain, but slowly."
I nodded, hoping the gesture would be noticed, and focused again, releasing hemomancy energy around . Like smoke, it began to spread through the strange do of protection without disturbing it.
And how did I do that after that ritual?
Indeed.
I stretched out my hand and touched the invisible do of protection with a finger wrapped in hemomancy energy, abruptly throwing this energy into space, forming a thin and high vertical red line on the rainbow do that imdiately appeared. A volitional effort and the line widens to a passage of several ters, through which one could now see a large stone mansion with tall windows.
Lady Greengrass imdiately slipped inside, and once under the do, she quickly stuck what she was holding in her hands into the ground. I also went under protection, feeling a sharp change in magic - you can't apparate. These feelings were much brighter than those within Hogwarts.
"That's it. Now act very quickly. The golems won't let them escape on their own two feet."
Delphine moved towards the mansion, gaining a completely inhuman speed from the spot, and I had to speed up to keep up with her. Delphine waved her wand, and the front door was literally smashed in, along with part of the wall, tearing it to splinters.
As soon as we literally flew into the resulting opening, a house-elf appeared to my left.
"Intru..."
He didn't have ti to finish his sentence because of my "Seko", and the house-elf split in two.
" Cover ," Delphine said sharply, getting down on one knee and leaning her palm against the floor.
Instantly being next to her, I pointed my wand to the ceiling, from where a crazy wild swarm of small, bat-like creatures began to fly in, which looked dangerous. Without thinking twice, I drew a circle around us with a wand, and as soon as it closed, a blue fla imdiately grew from the floor, the wall of which seed to be trying to close with a do above us. Protego Diabolica worked like a clock, and thoughtlessly trying to fly creatures imdiately burned to ash. Those who tried to fly through the upper point of the imaginary do, unprotected by the fla, were knocked down by clumps of this very fla that burst out of the wall. There were so many creatures that the air above us and around us was strewn with ash that didn't have ti to disappear.. But it didn't last long, only a dozen seconds.
