Chapter 70: 70. Killing! A Provocation From The Centaurs!
The unicorn was in the midst of giving birth at a critical moment. Fear flashed in her eyes upon seeing the many Acromantulas, but her body remained immobile.
"Chirp!"
As the Fox cried out, the flames surrounding her grew even brighter, causing several Acromantulas to step back.
The Fox had also sensed the danger beforehand. With his strength, he might have been able to repel the Acromantulas, but he couldn't divert his attention from protecting the unicorn.
That's why I called the owner over - to help.
Fire is what spiders fear the most.
A cold snort resonated from the gigantic spider's mouth, halting its retreat.
"Little wizard, if you're looking to blame someone, blame your own bad luck."
The voice of the Acromantula was especially aged, resembling that of an elderly man on the brink of death. "Although I made a promise to someone not to eat humans again, my descendants have no such restrictions.
"Who told you to break Dumbledore's rules and enter the Forbidden Forest?"
Wayne lifted his eyes slightly, and the wand silently appeared in his hand.
"You must be Aragog, correct?"
"You know me?" Aragog, the colossal spider, appeared slightly taken aback.
"I'm a friend of Hagrid."
"Hagrid's friend..." Aragog pondered for a moment before eventually taking a step back.
"Even as Hagrid's friend, I can't help you."
"You've brought this upon yourself, and no one can save you."
"I believe you've misunderstood." Wayne shook his head. "I only wanted to say..."
"For Hagrid's sake, leave now, and I will spare your life and that of your children."
"Oh?"
Aragog laughed furiously. "Has Hogwarts now introduced a course on teaching people to lie?"
"I want to see how you can spare us!"
All the Acromantulas clicked menacingly, encircling them. This terrifying sight would be enough to frighten someone with arachnophobia to their demise.
The eyes of the thousands of Acromantulas emanated a green glow, representing their hunger for food.
"The venom, the tentacles, the spider legs, even the webbing."
Wayne raised his wand and suddenly smiled. "I've just realized that the Acromantula is a treasure trove.
Aragog's voice turned icy cold upon hearing Wayne's remark.
"Kill him for me!"
Zhi!
Countless strands of spider silk shot out from the Acromantula's mouth. These strands were exceedingly sticky, making it incredibly difficult to escape once ensnared.
Spider silk and clumps were the most effective tools for spiders to hunt!
"The flames are raging!"
A fiery ball materialized from the tip of the wand, rapidly expanding before exploding with a resounding boom.
A ring of fire centered around Wayne and spread in all directions. Upon contact with the flames, all the spider silk turned to ash.
The Acromantulas at the forefront emitted piercing screams once they encountered the flames, and soon the smell of burning filled the air.
Not only did this fail to scare away the spiders, but it made them more ferocious. Spiders are cruel predators who even feed on the bodies of their kind, yet Wayne is aiding them in finding food.
Spider silk loses its effectiveness against flames, but spiders still have venom. The highly corrosive venom produces a sizzling sound as it hits the ground, filling the air with poisonous smoke.
Wayne puts on the Shield of Aegis for himself and looks at the unicorn being protected by the Fox. With the Fox present, these toxins cannot harm them. Wayne points and softly utters a command.
Click!
The wrath of thunder descends from the sky, bombarding the Acromantula's body relentlessly, some of it striking the surface of the flames, creating sparks and lightning along the way.
Wayne even gives this combo a name: FieryThunder!
Holding the shield, Wayne wields his wand and charges into the swarm of spiders. He cries out powerful incantations:
"Shattered to pieces!"
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
"All petrified!"
"Thunder!"
Colorful magical spells erupt from the tip of Wayne's wand as thunder resonates in the sky. Accompanied by howls, the Acromantulas fall apart.
With his heightened senses, Wayne is able to avoid spider silk and venom even in the darkness.
"Damn it, how can a mere student wizard be so powerful!" Aragog backs away and curses, "Stop! Stop!"
"We will release you and the unicorn. Just stop!" Aragog's heart aches, as these spiders are like his children. Despite having thousands of offspring in his life, seeing a wizard slaughter his own children before him pains him deeply.
"You still don't understand the situation, Aragog." Wayne casts another explosive spell, creating a deep pit in the ground that clears the nearby spiders. He sneers, "Now it's not a matter of you allowing me to go, but whether I allow you to go!"
Zhila!
The giant web formed by the electric arc falls, illuminating the night sky with a blue light. The spiders that come into contact with the power grid are dismembered by the strong current and scattered on the ground. Their hardened shells and sticky silk prove futile against the thunderous nets.
"I surrender! Little wizard, how can you release us?" Aragog begs, enduring the pain. It is not completely out of the power grid's attack range, and one of its legs is severed.
"Woo~!"
"Woo~!"
On the bloody battlefield, the sound of a whimpering creature could be clearly heard.
Wayne's offensive pace slowed down and he turned around to see a ten-year-old unicorn lying in front of its mother, nursing.
The unicorn mother lovingly nuzzled the little unicorn.
Witnessing this heartwarming scene, Wayne's murderous intention faded considerably.
Aragog the Spider, sensing Wayne's weakened emotions, took advantage of the situation:
"Little wizard, this is entirely my fault, but you have also killed many of my descendants."
"For Hagrid's sake, please let us go. If you return to the Forbidden Forest in the future, we promise not to cause any trouble for you."
"I won't seek revenge on a unicorn either."
Within minutes, hundreds of dead Acromantulas surrounded them, but Wayne remained unscathed.
Aragog knew that given enough time, this young wizard would annihilate all the spiders.
"Is that all?" Wayne scoffed. "You wanted to eat me when I was small, and now you want to run away because you can't handle it."
"There's nothing good about that."
With a snap of his fingers, another thunderbolt struck, killing the nearby spiders.
Wayne then extended his hand, causing a thunderous net to envelop the entire area. While the spacing between the silk threads was wider, it would still be impossible for an Acromantula to pass through without losing multiple limbs.
Dividing Aragog into 180 pieces wouldn't be a problem at all.
"What do you really want?"
Wayne approached the unicorn, causing the remaining spiders to flee in desperation.
According to legend, only pure girls were allowed to approach and touch unicorns. They were considered to be a pure-hearted species.
But Wayne had a natural ability to befriend animals. He had just protected two unicorns, and the unicorn mother showed no objection to his approach, even calling out to him fondly.
Watching the little creature enjoying its meal, Wayne smiled and gently stroked its still-damp body.
To be honest, the newborn creature wasn't particularly attractive, but once its fur grew, it would surely be a cute creature.
After completing these actions, Wayne stood up and looked at Aragog.
"Even for Hagrid's sake, you have to pay a price if you want to survive."
With that, he used his transformation spell to turn a nearby broken tree into a barrel, one meter in height and half a meter in diameter.
"Fill this barrel with your venom, and you'll be free to go."
"Venom?!" Aragog couldn't believe his ears.
Are you insane the venom of Acromantulas is the essence of their entire bodies, not saliva. That you can vomit as much as you want.
"You have no right to bargain."
Wayne stretched out his hand again, and the vines on the ground suddenly flew up, tightly binding Aragog's body and pulling him into the air.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"If you don't fill this bucket for me today, I will personally extract your poison sac and take it myself."
"You have to figure it out on your own."
After saying that, Wayne removed the mine net.
He wasn't afraid that the other Acromantulas would seize the opportunity to escape. As long as Aragog was under control, these spiders wouldn't have the courage.
Controlling such a large Acromantula consumed a lot of magical power. Combined with the fact that he still maintained the Shield of Aegis, Wayne could save a significant amount of energy.
"I promise you."
"But you must keep your promise. Once this barrel is full, you will let me and my children go."
Feeling Wayne's rising intent to kill, Aragog finally gave in.
The older one gets, the more they fear death.
This applies to spiders as well.
Aragog had lived for fifty years, and his eyes had severe cataracts, but he still wanted to keep living. He didn't want to die at the hands of this young wizard.
"I'm a Hufflepuff. How could I lie to you?" Wayne said without hesitation.
Aragog was astonished.
He had assumed that such a cruel little wizard would be from Slytherin, or perhaps one of the Gryffindor healers.
Hufflepuff?
Does your headmaster know that you're so heartless?
Being stronger than anyone else, Aragog could only cling to Hufflepuff's reputation in hope.
He made a series of strange calls, and the other Acromantulas took action. Then, a strange scene unfolded. Hundreds of Acromantulas lined up in two orderly rows. One by one, they climbed onto the barrel, squeezed out the venom, and fell weakly to the ground. Afterward, they crawled away to make room for the spiders behind them.
Losing the venom would mean losing the essence of the encounter. It would be strange not to be exhausted. Wayne's lips curled up slightly. Acromantula venom is one of the most expensive materials in the wizarding world. A pint of it sells for up to one hundred galleons, despite there being no market for it.
Not only is it a necessary ingredient for high-level magic potions such as blessings potions and intelligence enhancers, but it can also act as a catalyst to improve the quality of other potions.
Even Snape only had one can of this precious substance. Wayne took a second look, and Snape put it away as if guarding against thieves. "You're stingy," Wayne commented.
Wayne's big wooden barrel can hold thirty to fifty pints. With it, he won't have to worry about running out for at least a year or two. After all, the Forbidden Forest is Hogwarts' territory. As a future successor and the school's pride, it's only fair for him to charge a protection fee, right?
The Acromantulas were milking the cows diligently, so Wayne didn't pay them much attention. Instead, he focused on the unicorn. The little unicorn obediently fell asleep after eating and drinking enough. Aside from its stunning appearance, it also emitted a holy aura. Its breath made Wayne feel extremely comfortable. The unicorn also seemed fond of him, rubbing its big head against him.
While the Barrell With venom was already less than half-filled, there weren't many spiders left. Aragog, who was hanging on the tree, kept shouting and ordering the other spiders to squeeze out more venom. Wayne knew he would have to make up the rest by himself.
Rustle! Rustle! The once tranquil forest became turbulent again. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the darkness in the distance. Wayne turned on his heightened perception, alert for any danger. "Hunter! Get out of this land!" a strong voice commanded. Fox, ready to take flight angrily, was calmed by Wayne.
Soon, a dozen centaurs jumped over the bushes and landed in front of Wayne. They were both male and female, very tall, and held bows and arrows. They exuded an immense power. But when they saw the remains of spiders scattered across the burnt ground and the scene of the remaining Acromantulas lining up to extract venom, they were all shocked.
Upon seeing Wayne and the unicorn beside him, the leader immediately raised his bow and arrow, pointing it directly at him.
"Hunter, release the unicorn!" the leader demanded.
Wayne was taken aback. "Are you blind? Have you ever seen a hunter as young as me?"
"Furthermore, don't you recognize my school uniform?"
Although he was relatively tall for a first-year student, he was still just a child.
Not even 1.7 meters tall!
"Wizards are cunning. Who knows if you've used Polyjuice Potion to disguise yourself as a dark wizard sneaking in as a young wizard?"
The vigilant leader scanned his surroundings, hands trembling at the sight of scattered corpses. Coldly, he stated, "If you wish to hunt the Acromantula, I won't interfere, but the unicorn must be released."
Aragog, who had been anticipating a showdown between the two sides, was almost so enraged that he could have vomited blood.
What does this mean?
Are we spiders destined to die together?
Do the Spiders not have Animal rights?
Wayne's expression suddenly turned cold. "What should I do? Do I need your permission?"
While Wayne was usually kind and got along well with his classmates, treating them with respect and joking around, it was all based on his training.
His system was the Demon King System.
Therefore, he was also a devil!
Now, a group of centaurs, who weren't even human, still aimed their bows and arrows at him, even after he revealed his identity.
This ignited Wayne's anger.
The thunderclouds in the sky gathered again, creating a heavy atmosphere.
Several centaurs nervously tapped their hooves, but their bows and arrows remained fixed on Wayne, showing no sign of backing down.
"Release the unicorn and leave this forest. This is not where you belong!" the leader warned. As he spoke, his bowstring was fully drawn.
"A group of magical creatures living under someone else's roof, do they truly see themselves as masters?" Wayne sneered, flicking his wand and causing the bows and arrows to undergo a shocking transformation.
To the astonishment of the centaurs, their bows and arrows morphed into pythons hungry for prey. The serpents tightly coiled around their arms, their bloody mouths clamping down on their necks.
Uproar ensued as the centaurs struggled to free themselves from the snakes' grasp, but the more they fought, the tighter the constriction became.
The sharp fangs pierced their necks, causing them to scream in agony. Upon witnessing this scene, Aragog's seven legs, which had been struggling quietly, instinctively came to a halt. Did you mention that you were a Hufflepuff? I wouldn't hesitate to give you a bucket of Acromantula venom every year!
