Taking on the Magical World 63 Chapter 62: Doxy Swarm Defeated

I must say it was a stunning sight, gruesome yes, but still stunning all the same. Purple blood started to rain down on the earth, and doxies began to plummet down to the ground, dead. Those that were still alive but injured let loose screeches and wails, letting known how much pain that they are in.

The doxies that somehow made it through alive that glass shard storm, started to fly back to their Queen as quick as their wings could carry them. All the while cursing themselves for not being born with an extra pair of wings to help them escape this nightmare.

Professor Dumbledore made sure to help them run along and take care of the injured and dead for them. With a quick flick of his wand and a shout at the top of his lungs, he yelled two words, "IGNIS TEMPEST!"

A crimson and golden ring of fire erupted from the end of his wand. He waved his wand around in a circle above his head and then almost like he was about to throw his wand, he pointed it at the dead, injured, and fleeing doxies. The fire swirled around in a perfect circle with Professor Dumbledore at the eye of the firestorm, then when he pointed his wand at the doxies, the firestorm flew towards them like a hungry beast that was starved for days on ends, and then it engulfed them all.

With breaking into a single expression, Professor Dumbledore surveyed the carnage he has brought on to mother earth. Then he turned to face the Doxy Queen and stared at her through his half-moon spectacles.

It was pin-drop silence all around. The twins and I were having a hard time swallowing our saliva, thanks to the shock we have experienced so you could forget us saying anything for quite a while. The few handfuls of doxies that managed to somehow make it through the black glass shard rain and that firestorm, were silent as well. They must be very relieved that they did not end up like their brethren who are now nothing more than a pile of ashes.

The Queen Doxy was silent as well, and I could surmise that fear was slowly and silently creeping up over her. It does not really inspire a lot of courage, when you get to see your children mowed down right before your eyes, like their nothing.

The doxies that stood behind to guard their Queen also stayed silent, but you could notice them slightly trembling. They must have already known what sort of fate awaits them!

The Doxy Queen let out a shout then she started to back away slowly and steadily toward the school's exit. Only a few doxies followed her, who looked to be slightly more prominent and more menacing than the rest that stayed behind, must be the doxy elite guard I think amusingly. The rest stay back, trying to buy some time for their mother and Queen, they split up and start to fly above, beside and below Professor Dumbledore and try to harass him.

I have to give it to these little buggers they are much more honorable than any other human out there. If this were a human army, they would have started to flee when they saw that show of strength Professor Dumbledore has just shown.

But honor does not help you win battles, power does! And the Doxies do not have the ability to even put a scratch on Professor Dumbledore, never less defeat him. Professor Dumbledore pointed his wand at the doxies harassing him, and then he shouts "Pestis Evanesco!" And right before my very eyes the whole lot of them disappear just like that into thin air.

While the three of us squealed in surprise and amazement at prowesses of Professor Dumbledore. The doxy elite guard and the doxy queen, on the other hand, squealed in absolute horror and dread of the man.

The Doxy Queen gave one last command to her children, and she flew towards the exit as fast as her wings could carry her. All the doxies left stayed behind, and only the Queen made a run for it. And without a care in the world, the rest of the swarm flew towards.

I part of me say, man, these are good soldiers.

If the Doxy Queen manages to make it out alive from this battle, she could always start over breeding new children to full up the ranks once again.

But she doesn't!

As quick as a whip, Professor Dumbledore throws together three spells in quick succession. The first spell slows them down all the way to a snail's crawl; it must be the Impediment Jinx, I muse. But as where I normal person can use the spell on one or two, Professor Dumbledore used on hundreds, yes, they are very small, no bigger than an adult's head but still, that was hundreds. The second spell was a freezing spell called Glacius; it can transform your target into ice. With that, Professor Dumbledore finished things off with a spell that I do not know about. The spell brought forth a small cyclone into the hallways, it broke apart the ice sculptures.

The sad little Doxy Queen who was nearly out of the school-bound, get dragged back by the small cyclone that Professor Dumbledore summoned. All she could do was claw the air and helplessly flap her wings to try to get out of the cyclone's range, but she was too weak to do it.

After the cyclone subsided, the Doxy Queen was right back where she started, but this time she had nobody to defend her or fight for her.
