Chapter 94: The Defense of the Shield Charm (Third Update)
Chapter 94: The Defense of the Shield Charm (Third Update)
Jerry quickly adjusted the direction of his flying broom and executed a difficult evasive maneuver, successfully dodging the rocket's attack.
However, his face didn't improve after the evasion. The rocket circled around in mid-air and came at him again.
"Damn, it can track me?"
Letting out a curse, Jerry immediately waved his wand and shouted at the rocket heading towards him:
"Full-body bind!"
A burst of light flashed from the tip of his wand, and the rocket, which had been speeding towards him, suddenly froze in mid-air.
The Freezing Charm, a very special spell found in the second-year charms textbook for wizards.
Unlike the Sleeping Charm, which affects the mind, the Full-body Bind targets the physical body and can only affect one person at a time. The Freezing Charm, on the other hand, is a special area-of-effect spell.
When the spell is cast, any individual within the range of the magical light will be immobilized, as if time has stopped, unable to move under the wizard's will.
However, wizards rarely use this spell in combat.
This is because the spell has a drawback: it is not very effective against wizards, humans, or larger creatures.
It is more suitable for dealing with small creatures, like Cornish pixies.
Of course, what Jerry valued most about this spell was its unique property: it can affect Muggle products or non-living objects.
This is something the Sleeping Charm and Full-body Bind cannot do.
For example, if an alarm suddenly goes off, casting the Sleeping Charm or Full-body Bind on it will have no effect; it will continue to ring.
But if you cast the Freezing Charm on it, it will immediately stop.
Similarly, if a rocket is flying towards you, casting the Freezing Charm on it will cause it to stop and remain suspended in mid-air.
Jerry knew that living in the Marvel world, he would eventually have to face high-tech, high-powered weapons, especially since he was currently in the dangerous Hell's Kitchen, a haven for criminals.
So, during this time, he had been actively looking for spells that could counter high-tech weapons.
The Freezing Charm was the best spell he could find for this purpose, and the fact that it was a second-year spell made it relatively easy to learn.
"What the hell is going on!"
On the rooftop of the building, the lead man in a suit, seeing the rocket stop in front of Jerry without any further action, immediately cried out in shock.
He knew the other party had some strange abilities, but as one of the world's top mercenary teams, they had encountered people with similar powers before.
In their view, as long as they understood the specific abilities of these individuals, they weren't much more dangerous than ordinary people.
These people had never received any specialized training and were essentially like children with guns. To kill them, a single bullet or a rocket would suffice.
This was one of the reasons they had taken on this job after learning about the wizards' abilities.
However, the ability to freeze a rocket in mid-air was something they had never seen in their studies of wizard combat videos, which is why they were so astonished.
"Dana, take his place!"
"Roger that, watch me blow his head off!"
The red-haired woman locked her sniper rifle on Jerry's forehead and confidently pulled the trigger.
A terrifying boom echoed as an armor-piercing bullet, thicker and longer than a finger, hurtled toward Jerry's forehead at nearly a thousand meters per second.
At that moment, Jerry once again felt the Sixth Sense issuing a lethal warning. Magic surged instantly, and he tapped his wand on his wizard robe, activating the second level of the shield charm.
The custom-made wizard robe Jerry had, which included the shield charm, had two defense modes.
The first mode was when the shield charm covered the entire wizard robe like a super bulletproof vest. The advantage was that almost the entire body was protected, but the downside was that the neck and head were completely exposed.
The second mode was when Jerry used his wand to activate the shield charm, which then formed a semi-transparent barrier, protecting one entire side of his body.
The benefit was comprehensive protection from attacks from one direction, but the downside was that the other three sides were completely defenseless.
The semi-transparent shield charm barrier had just risen when the armor-piercing bullet appeared less than a meter from Jerry's forehead.
If he had been any slower, his head would have exploded like a watermelon.
Wizards had powerful vitality. Even if they lost an arm, a leg, or half their body, they could be healed with timely treatment.
But if their head was blown apart, there was no coming back from that, except for death.
Or they could choose to become a ghost, but that was not exactly a desirable outcome. Otherwise, more wizards would choose to become ghosts after death.
Surprisingly, the armor-piercing bullet was completely stopped by the shield charm's semi-transparent barrier the moment it made contact.
High-level defensive spells lived up to their name. Although this was a modified version, not as powerful as a properly cast spell by a wizard, it still provided perfect defense against the purely physical attack of the armor-piercing bullet.
Jerry had underestimated the power of magic. Magic was called magic because it defied scientific explanation in certain aspects.
The armor-piercing bullet was formidable, but the wizard's high-level defensive magic was no pushover.
The shield charm, after all, was known for being able to defend against almost all spells except the killing curse.
Seeing the armor-piercing bullet stuck outside the shield charm barrier, Jerry had a thought and immediately directed his flying broom to carry him backward and downward, pretending to be thrown back by the bullet's kinetic force.
He crashed into a closed clothing store, knocking over a pile of racks and burying himself and the broom under a heap of clothes.
In the few seconds it took to be buried in the clothes, he quickly pulled out a box from his wizard robe, retrieved a vial of Polyjuice Potion, and secretly drank it.
The faintly sweet and strawberry-like aroma bloomed on his taste buds, but before he could savor it, his insides began to churn. A burning sensation quickly spread from his stomach to his entire body, reaching his fingertips and toes.
Then, he felt a terrifying melting sensation, as if his skin was bubbling like hot wax. He couldn't help but gasp for breath, even in the pile of clothes.
