Chapter 24 I summon my fists into an attack stance
The Golden Legend!!
Ethan's pupils dilated slightly, and in his field of vision, a faint golden light emanated from the painting.
The paintings are divided into four levels: white (rare), blue (precious), gold (legendary), and purple (epic).
Use a fine and sturdy canvas, mix paints, and add the magic of opening the door and the key.
With each stroke of the painting, he infuses his own magic into it.
Ethan got his first "Golden Legend".
This is also the highest-tier card he currently possesses.
【Name: Portal】
[Type: Item]
[Rank: Tier 1 - Golden Legend]
[Description: "The cake was a lie."]
【Effect: ① When placed on other objects, it creates a channel that penetrates them. The penetration effect is determined by the user's magic power and can be used repeatedly;】
[②The artwork is divided into two sides, A and B. Entry is through side A, and exit is through side B. You can freely set the entrance and exit within a 30-meter radius. Objects entering through side A will exit through side B.]
[Note: When setting A and B sides, they must be within the visible range; only one effect can be active at a time.]
[Comment: A true portal, perhaps ultimately leading to the other side of life.]
"Wow..."
Ethan scrutinized the description and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
The door can be opened without restriction.
As long as he has enough magic, he can open not only Ravenclaw's doors, but also Gringotts' doors, which are heavily guarded and said to be open only by fairies!
Ethan suddenly realized.
If you have this card, you don't need to go through the Cerberus or the Boys & Girls dash to get the magic stone.
He can open the door directly from the floor and jump down from it.
and.
Ethan has a really great idea.
A door can be opened on any object.
Can objects other than "inorganic matter" be used?
I definitely have to try it sometime...
just now.
Ethan focused his attention on the second, newly appearing effect.
— "Portal".
It can transport objects arbitrarily within a certain range.
Ethan seemed lost in thought.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at his two friends beside him.
Raise a smile.
Michael: ? ? ?
Ethan: ^▽^
"Wait, wait a minute, Ethan! One cannot, or at least should not—ah!"
Michael suddenly stepped into empty air, like a large hole suddenly appearing on a flat lawn.
Darkness descended, and he plummeted downwards.
However, the next second, the light returned, and Michael fell from above onto the soft lawn.
"W-what the hell...?"
Michael was dizzy and disoriented from the fall.
Looking up, I saw Mandy standing not far away, her mouth agape and her face filled with shock.
What just happened?!
Mandy was stunned.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Ethan didn't take a wand, and two rectangular frames appeared out of thin air on the ground and in mid-air.
Then, Michael, who was falling from the ground frame, fell out of the mid-air frame.
It's practically... practically like a short-range "Apparition".
However, Apparition cannot move anyone other than oneself and those with one of them.
Mandy noticed that the oil painting Ethan had just finished on the easel was gone.
Instead, he held a card that shimmered with golden light.
Could this be a different magic system than wand spells?
Mandy's eyes gradually brightened.
That's incredible.
As a member of Ravenclaw's pursuit of knowledge, he now feels that it's not just the cards in Ethan's hand that are shining.
Ethan was radiant!
Using paintings to perform magic is unheard of.
This is absolutely the most groundbreaking invention of this century!!
Just then.
Mandy's pupils suddenly contracted, and she blurted out, "Watch out!"
"call!"
A gust of wind swept by.
Ethan squinted, feeling his black hair flutter and grass and dust sweep across his face from above.
He looked up and saw Harry Potter riding on a flying broomstick.
In his hand, he held a transparent sphere.
"I'm so sorry, Ethan!"
Harry said breathlessly, but his tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"That Malfoy guy stole Neville's Memory Orb and threw it over here to you."
Oh, we've reached this point in the plot.
Ethan understood.
Harry's talent for Seeker was discovered, thus beginning his extraordinary journey in Gryffindor Quidditch.
Although I remember there was such a scene.
But Ethan felt that it had nothing to do with him.
They even made a point of sitting in a spot a little further away.
Unexpectedly, this ball of fate still struck him.
Ethan stood up and reached into his pocket to grasp the wand.
He turned his head and saw Malfoy leading a large group of Slytherins, marching across the lawn toward him.
His tense expression suggested he wasn't simply there to steal the memory orb.
"..."
Harry's smile vanished, he lowered the broom, and looked nervously at Malfoy.
Mandy, Ron, and Gryffindor all ran over and gathered around Ethan.
Even Michael quickly got up, gripped his wand tightly, and stood on the front line.
In just a few breaths.
The red color, along with the three blue lines in front, stands in stark contrast to the dark green, clearly distinguishing them.
It was as if these little wizards would lead the charge as soon as the commander gave the order.
Ethan played with the gold card with great interest, his cobalt blue eyes reflecting Malfoy's pale face.
"Go, Draco, you will win."
Pansy whispered, nudging Malfoy's arm.
"...Wen, cough."
Malfoy paused, a faint blush rising to his cheeks.
He forced himself to look directly into those cold, mocking eyes, and said as firmly as possible:
"Vincent, I challenge you to a formal duel."
"Oh?"
Ethan raised an eyebrow.
Instead of running away, are they coming closer to me?
interesting.
"I accept your duel, Mr. Malfoy."
Ethan calmly replied, turning to look at his companion:
"My assistant... Harry, would you be my dueling partner?"
Even if you don't know what "Duel Assistant" is, you can still be called out by name.
But at this moment, even if Ethan asked him to go through fire and water, Harry would not say "no".
What a joke, not to mention how much Ethan helped him.
Harry has an unshirkable duty to take down Malfoy!
"Hmph, then Crabbe it is."
Malfoy said he was surprised that Ethan knew the rules of the duel.
As expected, it's no ordinary mud-seed...
But in any case.
His father had already warned him.
Today, he must defend the dignity of the Malfoy family in front of everyone.
Otherwise... he probably won't be able to go back this Christmas.
It's not shameful enough.
Thinking of this, Malfoy shuddered.
It's fine.
Malfoy looked at Ethan, who was standing a dozen meters away in front of him.
At this distance, Ethan can't use that kind of evil magic!
He remembered clearly that Ethan shook his hand first, and then the rash appeared on his hand!
As long as you keep your distance, there's nothing to be afraid of.
In any case, his father also taught him some harmless little curses.
It's more than enough to deal with people your own age, even Ethan.
Not only that.
Malfoy quickly glanced behind him.
Once an opening is found, his henchmen will help him unleash the spell.
As long as Ethan is knocked out, who cares if it violates the rules!
For this duel, Malfoy made thorough preparations.
As long as he isn't knocked down right at the start.
He was confident of victory!
We will win!
"We should bow first."
Ethan smiled, raised his wand, and gave a very elegant, slight bow.
At that moment, Harry suddenly noticed that Ethan was holding the wand with his left hand.
Huh?
Is Ethan left-handed? I don't recall...
Malfoy didn't notice this small detail.
He pursed his lips in annoyance, nodded perfunctorily, and called out to himself:
"Three, two, one leg stiffens—"
"Bang!"
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
A loud bang was heard.
Malfoy had just uttered the first part of a spell when he was sent flying!
He collapsed onto the lawn, instinctively struggling a couple of times, but couldn't get up.
A trickle of blood flowed down his pale face.
The left side of my face swelled up rapidly, turning into a bun.
He began to cry and sob in pain on the ground.
Malfoy, he can't rise again!
The students, including those from friendly forces, who witnessed the entire event, were stunned.
What happened?!
That's it?!
They stared in astonishment at the spot where Malfoy had just been standing.
A fist suddenly appeared in mid-air!
Extending from a strange square door frame, on the other side, is Ethan's half-arm, also submerged within it.
[Artwork already used - Link!]
Ethan looked at his fist that had appeared in front of him, and casually swung it around, not really feeling like he had "split into two parts".
The principle is simple.
Set up a portal entrance next to yourself and place it inside your arm.
Then set the exit next to Malfoy's face.
Objects that enter through the entrance, regardless of their position or mode of movement, will be perfectly replicated at the exit.
Therefore, even if Ethan doesn't move an inch, but just throws a punch from the spot, he can still deliver a powerful blow to Malfoy's face from more than ten meters away.
In complete silence.
Ethan's eyes darted around, looking at the dumbfounded "Lucky Guy" Crabbe—Malfoy's chosen dueling assistant.
He smiled kindly and said:
"Your turn."
—Magic, isn't it amazing?
