"Protect His Highness Bran!!"

Encountering an enemy attack, the Direwolf Guards, who were tasked with protecting the Duke's son, shouted to assemble in the direction of Bran.

However, when he heard the wolf guards shouting at the top of their lungs, Gu Xiaoheng felt like he was going to suffer.

Why are you yelling so loudly?!!

This is Hogwarts where novice wizards are everywhere but there are not many powerful professors. This is not the Winter Castle where your elite guards are everywhere and the BOSS units are not as good as dogs.

When you yell like this, isn't it as stupid as shouting to all your enemies, "Come on! Fool, I'm here, beat me!"

Sure enough, under the shouts of the "pig teammates" of the Direwolf Guards who were shouting anxiously before they could get through the chaotic flow of people, all eyes in the audience suddenly turned to Gu Xiaoheng and Bran, who was being protected by him.

On Stark.

"That's Bran Stark, son of Lord Eddard Stark! Oh my god, why is he here?"

"Stop gossiping, it's more important to escape, run quickly!"

Being attacked by the enemy, all the young Hogwarts wizards, like frightened birds, rushed to the teachers' bench to seek shelter from the powerful Hogwarts professors.

Among the crowds of people, there were even many first-year Hogwarts freshmen who had just entered Hogwarts this year and were frightened to tears by the atmosphere of hurriedly running for their lives.

"Mr. Witcher, I..."

"Now is not a good time to talk, Bran. Let's wait until we retreat to a safe place to talk about anything else!"

Interrupting Bran's intention to continue speaking, Gu Xiaoheng held Frostmourne tightly in his hand, formed a triangle with Maeve and Geralt who had rushed over to protect Bran, and retreated towards the direction of Professor Dumbledore.

"Sir, the enemy's missile attack seems to have stopped!"

As soon as Maeve finished speaking, the barrage of arcane missiles that had been flying like a storm stopped as if the pause button was pressed. This made people tired of applying large-scale iron armor spells to protect all teachers and students from being harmed by the enemy.

The Hogwarts professors stopped waving their wands in confusion.

However, before the professors, whose hands were almost sore from just waving their wands and casting spells, could rest for a moment, a dazzling fire came from outside the door!

boom--

"Poof!" Along with the powerful momentum of the gunpowder weapon explosion, a direwolf guard who was about to reach Bran fell to the ground.

A trace of ferocious and terrifying blood arrows spurted out uncontrollably along his bullet-hit abdomen. Within a moment, the loyal direwolf guard's pupils unwillingly lost focus, and there was no longer any sign of survival.

"Blood! Bloody lotus!" Bran, who was still young, seemed to be frightened when he saw the bloody lotus suddenly condensed on the corpse of the dead guard, and even the speed of running for his life unconsciously slowed down.

Bloody lotus? Hearing Bran's cry, Gu Xiaoheng couldn't help but look back at the direwolf guard who was sacrificed on the side.

After seeing that the scene was exactly as Bran said, with bloody lotus flowers appearing on the bodies of the Direwolf Guards, Gu Xiaoheng's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Seeing the iconic bloody lotus appearing behind the murdered person, he probably guessed the identity of the murderer outside the door who used gunpowder weapons. He knew why the enemy took the initiative to stop the fire suppression of arcane missiles.

The enemy is so confident that the mage hiding in the dark can kill the target of their attack without taking action!

Just as Gu Xiaoheng was secretly wondering whether the other party was too confident, the next scene once again shattered his suspicions.

[Warning, warning! A large number of violent ghosts have been detected and are about to attack, please be prepared for battle!]

"Ouch -" wailing terrifying ghosts floated out from the ceiling of Hogwarts.

However, unlike those ghosts in Hogwarts' own colleges who are kind and harmless to people, these ghosts who came out halfway can be regarded as well-deserved evil spirits.

Each one of them harbors great malice towards all the living beings present, as if they were caught in the undead craze.

Using Frostmourne to fend off an approaching ghost, Gu Xiaoheng had no time to care about the Hogwarts teachers and students who were locked in a bitter battle, or the group of Direwolf Guards who were being heavily besieged by ghosts.

His eyes were fixed on every move outside the door from beginning to end.

Because among everyone present, only he, the reborn person, could guess and know how difficult the ruthless man outside the door who used gunpowder weapons was.

The Fortune Teller - Jhin, a smiling hired killer from Ionia, is cruel and obsessed with perfect murders!

Who knows how such a madman was invited to cause trouble for Stark and Hogwarts in the North.

Snap, snap - footsteps sounded, and a man who was almost as nimble and nimble as a cat, holding a strange musket and wearing a strange mask slowly walked through the oak door of the auditorium and entered the venue.

At this moment, the people closest to him are Gu Xiaoheng, Geralt, and Bran Stark, who is protected behind him.

Buzz! A twisted shadow barrier suddenly enveloped Gu Xiaoheng and his group, and finally covered them and the masked man under the shadow barrier, isolating them from Dumbledore and all the teachers and students of Hogwarts.

.

Now, they are isolated and helpless.

Seeing that the mage hidden in the dark had made such a big move as the Shadow Barrier, Gu Xiaoheng stood quietly, motionless, looking at each other with the masked man opposite.

"You will become my wonderful work, young demon hunter!" The masked man was finally the first to speak as if he couldn't help but speak.

"No, don't even think about it! Jhin!"

Hearing Gu Xiaoheng reveal one of the names he used in the past, the masked man known as the fortune teller narrowed his eyes slightly after his pale mask.

The next moment I saw, murderous intent was everywhere!

Bang! Bang!

As the vast white mist triggered by the gunpowder rose, two consecutive bullets dragged a fatal attack trajectory in the air, all of which aimed at Bran behind Gu Xiaoheng.

"Be careful!" The moment he reached out to push Bran away, Maeve and Geralt, who were beside Gu Xiaoheng, used their own methods to block the bullet attack with difficulty.

Shaking his arms that were slightly tired from summoning the transparent shield-like Quen Sign, Geralt glared at the masked killer opposite him with an unhappy expression. He didn't like the feeling of being teased.

"Masked clown, you pissed me off!" Without waiting for Gu Xiaoheng to stop him, Geralt charged forward with his sword, the sharp edge pointed directly at the enemy's masked head.

Facing the approaching sword edge, the gunpowder gun in Jhin's hand, which he named "Whispering", seemed to be accumulating energy, accumulating dangerous red fire. Then everyone heard him say calmly:

"We all wear masks, but my workmanship is better, and you all wear the mask on your heart!"

Are you just a philosopher?

Even though he was disdainful of Jin's mysterious words, Gu Xiaoheng, who clearly understood its attack mechanism, still quickly felt a strong aura of danger.

I still remember that the player who participated in the official Ionian siege and suppression of fugitives in the previous life - that is, the player who was known as "Destiny Master" Jhin and fought against him once said that the gunpowder short gun in Jhin's hand would cause one attack every fourth time.

An explosion that is guaranteed to be a critical hit and carries killing damage!

And Geralt, who mainly uses light armor and agile melee style, seems to have no chance of winning no matter how he faces this shot that is bound to hit critically...

In order to help Geralt escape, Gu Xiaoheng, who recalled Jhin's attack mechanism in a flash of lightning, suddenly jumped up, followed by Maeve who cooperated tacitly, and rushed towards Jhin.

However, at the moment when Geralt, who was rushing at the front, was about to kill Jhin with his sword, he saw a sinister smile of successful conspiracy hidden deep in Jhin's pale mask engraved with black lines.

.

Noticing Geralt's gaze, Jhin smiled and sarcastically turned the muzzle of his gun that was originally aimed at Geralt.

Oops! I fell into a trap!

Thinking of the mission reminder to protect Bran, Gu Xiaoheng's heart skipped a beat while he was still jumping towards the enemy in mid-air.

Boom - A powerful charged gunpowder bullet whizzed past his ears, causing Maeve and Geralt, who were also unable to react, to close their eyes in despair.

"Wori, it seems that we can only use that method!"

Seeing that things were going to get worse and out of control and Bran's life was in danger, Gu Xiaoheng gritted his teeth and bent his body in the air with the super agility of his hidden basic skill "Dexterous Body".

With a crunching sound from Gu Xiaoheng's ribs, his upper body finally stood between the bullet and Bran at the cost of a slight misalignment of some of his ribs.

In addition to using himself as a human shield to protect Bran from harm, Gu Xiaoheng was not idle at all. He swung his sword to the core of the bullet one step ahead of Jhin, destroying the bullet on the way.

The deadly bullet struck and cut it in half!

Boom!

After a burst of crackling sparks and explosions, terrifying thick smoke had already enveloped Gu Xiaoheng's original position.

As for the shadow barrier that had just prevented Geralt and his group from receiving support, it had already been shattered by the explosion.

In the midst of the shouting, the Hogwarts professors and the Direwolf Guards rushed over to protect everyone behind them.

When the thick smoke dissipated, it was seen that Jin, who was known as the lunatic killer "The Fate Master", had already quietly slipped away, and he did not know where he fled to.

At the center of the original explosion, only the fallen figure of Gu Xiaoheng was left. The terrifying power of the explosion had already covered his body with bruises, making him look like he was dead and miserable.

"No! Mr. Demon Hunter!" Just as Bran was crying and wanted to step forward to check on Gu Xiaoheng's "body", Maeve on the side stretched out her hand to stop him expressionlessly.

"My lord, he's fine. He'll be fine in a while. You don't have to worry." Maeve explained tiredly.

However, seeing Gu Xiaoheng's "heroic sacrifice" appearance when he was bloody and bloody, the onlookers at Hogwarts also felt sad and did not believe Maeve's words.

As for Bran, who watched Gu Xiaoheng being swallowed up by explosions all over the sky, he looked at Maeve as if he had seen a ghost.

They were all blown up into absolutely lifeless remains at first glance. You still say that Mr. Demon Hunter is fine??

As for what Maeve said, "it'll be over in a while", in Bran's mind, it was as dreamy as a fantasy.

Do you think everyone is the most beloved angel of the Holy Light? Every time you die in battle, you can return to the resurrection pool in the highest heaven and resurrect...

Just when Little Bran was still immersed in the deep sadness that Gu Xiaoheng had sacrificed his life to save him, he heard the little wizards watching on the side take a deep breath.

"Hey, Mr. Eternal, he...he got up!" Harry, who was among the onlookers, was full of disbelief in his words.

When Bran looked at Gu Xiaoheng's original position again, he could only vaguely see a dense ball of holy light completely surrounding the demon hunter's remains that were still cold just now.

After being stagnant for a moment, Gu Xiaoheng's body returned in glory as if it had been recast.

[Ding! The accessory equipment skill "Guardian Angel" has been successfully activated, and you have been successfully resurrected! 】

Because he had just been resurrected, Gu Xiaoheng, who did not know what had happened in the auditorium in the past few seconds, yawned leisurely, and then met the resentful gazes of all the teachers and students of Hogwarts, including Bran.

"What happened? Why are everyone looking at me like this?" Gu Xiaoheng blinked in embarrassment and confusion.

Why are you still asking? Everyone thought you were sacrificed! Hey! Give me back the emotion I just felt, Hundan!
