Chapter 96: Rooftop Battle (First Update)
Chapter 96: Rooftop Battle (First Update)
Boom!
Just as Jerry finished dealing with the Bulky Man wielding the rocket launcher, a strong force suddenly pushed him from behind, sending him and his flying broom soaring toward the rooftop where the other four were.
It turned out that the young man controlling the drone had reacted and seized the opportunity to remotely detonate the drone behind Jerry.
Fortunately, the explosion wasn't very powerful, and with the protection of his wizard robe, Jerry only lost a bit of his thick hair and wasn't seriously injured.
At the same time, the Red-haired Woman, showing remarkable coordination, fired a high-precision shot at Jerry as he was blown toward them.
Seeing the armor-piercing bullet about to exit the barrel and pierce his chest, Jerry, who had somehow anticipated the Red-haired Woman's shot, leaned back and hooked his feet around the broom to dodge.
Even though his body was Hermione's, and thus much weaker in many aspects, his senses were still heightened to their limits while in Superman Mode.
Although the Red-haired Woman's shot was quick, he still managed to catch it.
"Petrify!"
Lying on the broom, Jerry saw the Red-clad Woman pause for just a second after missing her shot before immediately aiming her gun at him again. He quickly cast a full body bind spell at her.
After neutralizing the powerful sniper, Jerry swung his body back onto the broom and prepared to deal with the remaining two. However, he noticed that they had ignored their immobilized companion and were heading straight for the rooftop's iron door.
"Trying to run!"
At this point, there was no way he was going to let them escape. He accelerated his flying broom, arrived in front of the iron door, and jumped off to block their path.
If they managed to get through the iron door and into the building, he might not be able to track them down.
Seeing Jerry jump off the broom, the Suit-clad Man and the Slim Youth exchanged a glance and flashed a sly smile.
It turned out that they weren't trying to escape but rather to lure Jerry down from the air. As long as he stayed in the sky, they had no way to defeat him. Only by drawing him down to the ground and engaging in close combat did they have any chance of taking him out.
The Slim Youth drew his dual pistols and rolled behind a rooftop water tank, while the Suit-clad Man pulled out two daggers and charged at Jerry.
"Petrify!"
Upon landing, Jerry wasted no time, raising his hand to cast a full body bind spell at the Suit-clad Man who was rushing at him with daggers drawn.
In battle, unless you want to pressure the opponent, it's best not to waste time with unnecessary talk. Questions like "Who are you?" or "Why are you trying to kill me?" would only waste precious time and miss the best opportunity to attack or dodge.
So, he just acted. Once he had them, he could take his time to understand their motives.
Why did he keep using the full body bind spell?
Against ordinary people, spells like the full body bind and the sleeping charm were the most effective. He was also the most proficient with these spells, so unless it was a special situation, he usually started with them.
Although he had learned some more powerful Dark Magic, these spells generally had a high kill rate and were hard to control, making it easy to accidentally kill ordinary people.
This type of Dark Magic was better used covertly; using it openly didn't fit his superhero persona.
However, in extremely dangerous situations, that would be a different story.
In this situation, Jerry didn't actually consider it particularly dangerous. After all, the opponent had no idea how many abilities the wizard possessed that could easily kill them.
"Huh, that's some speed?"
Seeing the suit-clad man effortlessly dodge his magic with a quick flash, Jerry's face showed a look of surprise.
If the suit-clad man had merely predicted the wand's casting motion, Jerry wouldn't have been too surprised. Normally, firing a spell with a wand and firing a bullet with a gun are quite similar. With enough combat experience, one could predict the motion and dodge in advance.
However, the speed at which the suit-clad man moved to dodge was simply too fast, far beyond that of a normal person.
"This world isn't the only place with special people. Die!"
The suit-clad man sneered and, with a few large strides, covered the distance of several meters, rushing right up to Jerry.
At the same time, the slim youth, who had been hiding behind the water tank, poked his head out and fired two shots at Jerry's head.
Clearly, the suit-clad man had observed Jerry's abilities and formulated a highly targeted battle plan.
If Jerry used magic to attack the suit-clad man, he would be facing a double-barreled headshot, as his wizard robe couldn't protect his head.
If he activated the second mode and used his wand to create a translucent shield, the bullets would be ineffective, but he would lose the opportunity to attack the suit-clad man.
This would allow the fast-moving suit-clad man to quickly circle around and slit Jerry's throat with a dagger.
"Heh, let's see how clever you are!"
Glancing at the suit-clad man, who was holding a dagger and grinning menacingly, and the slim youth, who was already aiming his gun, Jerry understood their plan. He immediately crouched down and slipped into his wizard robe.
Although Hermione's body was weaker than his own, it was slimmer and easily fit into the spacious wizard robe.
Bullets pelted the wizard robe, but the shield charm deflected them all.
"Every arrow hits its mark!"
Hidden inside the wizard robe, Jerry pointed his wand upward and cast an Arrow Charm.
Instantly, seven or eight black iron arrows materialized above his wand and shot toward the suit-clad man, who was leaping up to stab through the gap in the wizard robe with his dagger.
The iron arrows were extremely fast, and the suit-clad man had to spin his arms like a windmill to barely deflect them all.
But as soon as he landed, he let out a scream of pain.
A two-meter-long black venomous snake had appeared at his feet and bitten his ankle.
Stabbing the snake with his dagger, the suit-clad man managed to kill it, but as he stood up, he felt dizzy and almost stumbled to the ground.
Clearly, he was poisoned.
It turned out that after casting the Arrow Charm, Jerry had deviously extended his wand from the wizard robe and cast a Snake Summoning Charm, a favorite among Slytherin wizards.
The Snake Summoning Charm, a variant of the transfiguration charm, could conjure a snake to attack the opponent.
And the snake Jerry summoned was none other than the notorious "Black Mamba", known for its speed and venom—the Black Mamba!
