Hogwarts: Starting as a Card Maker from a Failed Art Student

Chapter 305 New Card - "Dark Soul Knight"! Ethan, do you really want to kill us?!

Chapter 306 New Card - "Dark Soul Knight"! Ethan, do you really want to kill us?!

What was that sound?

In the maze, Cedric looked up alertly.

Listen carefully.

Amidst the rustling of thorns.

A faint "whoosh, whoosh" sound could be heard mixed in.

It felt like hard objects rubbing against each other.

Or perhaps it was just the sound of the wind.

"...Maybe I'm just too tense."

Cedric muttered to himself.

Put that sound out of your mind.

Not far from the entrance.

On the thorny wall, Cedric found a metal sign.

It reads:

Only by breaking through the walls of one's heart can one touch the true ending.

Warriors, please follow the choice of your hearts.

Defeat the Queen of Hearts and liberate this cursed garden!

"The hero saves the princess? But this time, it seems the princess is the source of the curse."

Although I still have no idea.

But Cedric roughly understood the objective of this match:

Head to the center of the maze and defeat the boss, "Queen of Hearts".

"What exactly is the 'wall of the heart'?"

Cedric strode forward, deep in thought.

Soon, we arrived at the first fork in the road.

The third match was different from the first two.

All the players were scattered.

In this dim, thorny labyrinth.

I can only proceed cautiously, step by step.

Fortunately.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor taught them a lot.

By the way.

I don't know if it was Cedric's imagination.

Perhaps it was influenced by the attack on journalist Rita.

After that, Professor Moody became much more conservative in his teaching.

but.

However, they have improved many life-saving techniques for dangerous situations.

For example, "Give me directions."

Cedric murmured, looking at the wand held flat in his palm.

A faint light appeared.

The wand spun slowly.

Finally, it pointed to the right.

Based on what I've learned and the preparations I made before the competition.

Cedric pondered, "Pointing to the right, which means the right is north..."

'

"And the end point is in the center of the maze, roughly in the northwest direction."

"Then, I'll go to the left and turn right along the way."

Cedric nodded.

And he grinned happily at this small victory.

He lifted his foot and strode to the left.

We passed through those seemingly identical thorny paths.

Every now and then, I dodged the alluring vines.

Crimson roses grow on it.

The colors were vibrant and rich.

It looks like it's been painted on.

"I wonder what kind of test Ethan will prepare for us..."

'

In the silence, Cedric couldn't help but let his mind wander.

There was a faint sense of anticipation in my heart.

After the first two matches, Dragons and Kraken.

He believes.

Nothing could shock him anymore.

As we ventured deeper into the maze...

Cedric's heart also began to race.

however.

Surprisingly, they did not encounter any danger.

The only sound was a gradually increasing "whoosh, whoosh" sound, which seemed to be the wind.

Is it really that simple?

Is this Ethan's mercy?

Just as Cedric was thinking this...

He turned a corner.

Then, they were met head-on by a gleaming axe blade!

In an instant.

Cedric nearly suffered cardiac arrest!

He instinctively raised his wand, just about to cast a spell.

The axe blade that had been hovering in front of his nose suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

The body that had been blocking his way fell down lightly.

Until then.

Cedric finally saw it clearly—

This is a playing card depicting someone holding an axe!

It's long ago that someone blasted a charred hole in the center.

"

'

Someone beat them to it? Who was it that was so fast?

Cedric slowly raised his head.

My gaze gradually moved upwards.

I saw the red heart playing card soldiers lying all over the ground.

Weapons such as knives, axes, and spears were scattered on the ground.

The square bodies were crooked and twisted.

They were destroyed or cut off to varying degrees.

A strange red liquid, resembling blood, oozed from the wound.

It looks terrifying.

then.

"Splash, splash."

Cedric heard that familiar friction sound again.

This time, he heard it clearly.

They could see it clearly.

It wasn't the sound of wind, but the sound of heavy armor rubbing against each other.

A few rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds.

It landed on the dark armor, gleaming with a cold light.

It's like a mobile human fortress.

Just standing there.

It gives people an immense sense of oppression!

Title: Dark Souls Guardians

[Rank: Tier 3 - Golden Legend]

[Description: A knight born from a strong desire to protect. Rumor has it that his creator once visited the Hog's Head Tavern.]

at this time.

The black knight, straddling his tall warhorse, was raising the giant halberd in one hand.

A person was hanging from the tip of the halberd.

The striking red hair instantly identified him as one of his companions, Fred Weasley!

at the same time.

Cedric caught a glimpse of Durmstrang's player out of the corner of his eye.

His goal.

Viktor Krum was disappearing into a narrow passageway not far behind the Black Knight.

He glanced indifferently at him and Fred, then went inside without looking back.

They've vanished without a trace.

Cedric:

"To be shattered to pieces!!"

The sharp spell struck the Black Knight's helmet with pinpoint accuracy.

A loud bang was heard!

Followed by.

Then the halberd was swung.

Fred was thrown into the air!

It traced an arc through the air and landed with a thud in front of Cedric!

"Splash, splash."

The Black Knight slowly turned in his direction.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

They were not harmed at all.

"Splash, splash."

He drove his warhorse, which was covered in heavy scales.

With steady steps, she walked towards him step by step!

"Fred!"

Cedric shouted anxiously.

While pulling Fred backward, he hurriedly cast a healing spell.

...Viktor Krum!

Fred opened his eyes weakly, a surge of resentment rising within them.

He gritted his teeth and said, "We agreed to cooperate to get through the level, but that bastard used me as bait and sneaked in himself...!"

"Cedric, you absolutely mustn't let that guy win!"

"No, it won't."

Cedric nodded firmly.

then.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "And tell me, how did you get here so quickly?"

He boasted that he was already very fast.

But to my surprise, someone else beat me to it.

Upon hearing this...

Fred grinned slyly: "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line~ George and I made some little explosive gadgets together... Anyway, the competition didn't say we couldn't bring gadgets."

...So it's a contraband, huh?

A dark line was drawn on Cedric's forehead.

Fred: "But at the last moment, he was outmaneuvered by that big-eyed Krum... May he always have a healthy stomach!!"

A vicious curse echoes among the thorns.

Cedric:

"I understand, I will try my best to catch up."

Before he could finish speaking...

A loud bang was heard ahead, and the earth shook.

A gust of wind swept in, and a shadow suddenly loomed over the area!

"Be careful!"

Accompanied by a loud shout.

Cedric instinctively raised his armor for protection!

next moment.

"Bang!!!"

A powerful force crashed into the barrier, like a hammer blow coming straight at you.

He felt a buzzing in his head.

It felt as if I were inside a bronze bell being struck.

He was sent flying by the giant halberd that pierced down from above!

He crashed heavily to the ground, opened his mouth, and vomited a mouthful of acid.

I feel dizzy and lightheaded, and my entire chest is incredibly painful!

...If pregnancy is like armor protecting you, then it's a bit of a hindrance.

This strike could pierce him right through!

Cedric looked up in astonishment.

Gazing at the black knight, who slowly turned around like a fortress.

Looking inside the dark patch of the other person's helmet.

A strong sense of dread welled up inside me!

Dragons have scales, but giant crows only know how to whip.

however.

Even though they were wearing heavy armor, they could still fly a kite as easily.

The skilled knight, spurring his warhorse, leaped into the air to strike him.

Cedric, however, felt an unprecedented sense of bewilderment and helplessness!

Ethan, Shi has created a giant dad!

They're truly following the "fine tradition" of the Goblet of Fire, adding a festive touch to the celebration!
