Chapter 922 I'm Out of Ideas
"It's been two weeks, and they've finally assigned me to an assessment. If they hadn't assigned me soon, I would have felt like the organization had forgotten about me."
"You flatter me, young master. Who would dare forget you?"
Upon arriving at headquarters, Fang Wuwei's first words were a complaint, and Chang Hong responded with another complaint.
Fang Wuwei then shrugged nonchalantly, stretched his body by gripping his arm, and his face was full of energy.
"I haven't moved around in so long, my body feels so loose..."
Fang Wuwei felt that he was going on missions very infrequently, and there had been no activity for a while. In contrast, Ikeuchi Maki, who had just been promoted to a full member, had already gone on a mission alone with Shuoyu and the others.
Fang Wuwei was unaware of all this until Maki Ikeuchi returned and ran over to him to boast about going out on a mission by herself. Only then did Fang Wuwei suddenly realize that she had grown up. He then felt a sense of relief that his child had grown up.
Although the assessment was about to take place, and his assessment involved going out to fight to the death, Fang Wuwei didn't feel any urgency. He stretched his wrists and stood in front of Changhong's big screen.
"Fang Wuwei K9527, you are undergoing a promotion assessment to advance from Rank C to Rank B. The assessment will involve solo support. Are you ready?"
Compared to C-level members, B-level members have more than just improved combat power and higher ranks. Promotion to higher positions means they will shoulder greater responsibilities and have more things to do, including cleaning up the messes of their juniors.
As a frontline combatant, he needs to prove that he has sufficient combat capability to become a reliable senior.
The current situation is this: a C-level combat team has requested assistance from headquarters, and this is Fang Wuwei's test. He must go alone to deal with the enemy that they cannot handle.
"bring it on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Changhong opened a portal to that world for him. Without further hesitation, Fang Wuwei stepped in. The scenery before him flipped instantly, and when he stepped onto solid ground again, he had arrived in another world.
All around was a desolate land. The scorched earth beneath my feet was devoid of life, with only a few shrubs that had turned to charcoal standing forlornly on the burnt soil.
Before Fang Wuwei could even properly admire the scenery, an extremely violent roar erupted in the distance, followed by a shrill scream.
Fang Wuwei's eyes narrowed instantly as he felt the earth tremble. Looking up, he saw a giant minotaur standing in front of a magnificent and ancient castle, wielding a giant axe and wearing a set of glowing armor, wreaking havoc.
It seems he arrived at a bad time; there's no time to wander around, it's time to get serious.
......................................................
In the distance, inside Hogwarts Castle, Albus Dumbledore stood alone, wand raised, blocking the castle gates. Yet even he, the legendary white wizard and most powerful magician, felt a profound sense of powerlessness in the face of the enormous minotaur with its head reaching the sky.
This giant minotaur's resistance to magic was so high it was practically absurd. No spell could work on it, not even the evil curses cast by Dumbledore himself. The spells were like tickles to it.
This guy is practically invulnerable to blades and bullets; his magic resistance is so high it's despair-inducing.
Dumbledore could only use magic with physical properties and methods to alter the terrain to restrain this raging minotaur. Just now, he dug out a deep abyss to trap the minotaur inside, and then used multiple spells such as the Transfiguration Charm, the Enlargement Charm, and the Firm Charm to form several indestructible magical chains that held it firmly inside, which finally calmed it down a bit.
Now the minotaur has broken free and is wielding a huge axe, smashing it down on Hogwarts Castle. The blows are blocked by the ancient and powerful protective magic that surrounds the castle, producing a deafening roar. But this is not a long-term solution.
But if it were just this minotaur, although it would be very troublesome, it wouldn't be considered a huge crisis... There are more dangerous beings hiding elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Dumbledore slowly turned his head to look inside the castle. A girl was lying on the ground, panting heavily. Blood dripped from her face and mouth onto the ground. One of her arms was missing, and the wound was very rough, as if it had been torn off. Large amounts of blood were flowing out, and she was on the verge of death.
Professor McGonagall stood by, holding her wand that glowed, trying to heal the girl's injuries, but with little success.
Such a severe injury is not an ordinary wound, but a wound eroded by some kind of magical power, making it extremely difficult to heal.
"Did your comrades lose the battle?"
Dumbledore's low murmur reached the girl's ears. Upon hearing this, the girl became somewhat agitated, coughed up blood, and after a long silence, reluctantly nodded.
Seeing this, Dumbledore closed his eyes in anguish. He prided himself on having lived a magnificent and legendary life, and possessing extensive knowledge and experience, having seen everything, but this was something he had never seen before.
He was at his wit's end, even resorting to Fiendfyre, only to have it completely devoured by the minotaur. He never expected this; this was no race found in the magical world. Even a fire dragon couldn't withstand a single round against it. This was power beyond the reach of the magical realm...
What's more, there's something even more powerful and bizarre lurking behind this monster.
"Surrender, and I'll kill a few; don't surrender, and you'll all die."
Dumbledore's memory drifted back to a short time ago, recalling those strange figures standing atop the minotaurs. Mysterious, eerie, and of unknown origin, their appearance was aimed directly at Harry's life. Such a clear purpose could only remind him of the Death Eaters and Voldemort. But why? Why did they possess such power...? This was clearly impossible.
The minotaur raised his giant axe high once more and slammed it down on Hogwarts' ancient magical barrier. The barrier cracked open, but quickly repaired itself with the surge of magic. It must have had enough magic to repair it. However, the minotaur's attacks were getting faster and stronger. This barrier probably wouldn't last much longer.
Have your companions arrived? Will your reinforcements come?
Professor McGonagall asked the girl a question, but she lacked confidence and could only remain silent with her head down, her eyes red.
Dumbledore opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but at that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, dark thunderclouds covered the sky and swallowed the sun and moon, and the iconic prelude to Fang Wuwei's entrance instantly enveloped the world, loudly announcing the arrival of the God of Thunder.
