“Roar!!”
The giant roared, and Zhang Dong could even smell the foul stench from its mouth! It raised its massive club high above its head, then slammed it down towards Zhang Dong below!
“Armor Protection.”
A barrier instantly appeared. Although Zhang Dong could cast spells silently, doing so would weaken the magic's potency, so he opted for a safer method.
Bang!!
The club came crashing down. The giant's strength had already been demonstrated in the previous video. One swing of the club reduced five toilets to dust!
However, when this very same club struck Zhang Dong's Armor Protection, it had no effect whatsoever. The impact merely created hairline cracks on the thin barrier.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Even in the unscientific world of wizards, this law still holds true.
“Roar!” The giant was knocked back a step by the force of the recoil. It glared at Zhang Dong in front of it, raising its club once more!
“Again?”
One time was enough, why do you want to do it again?
Zhang Dong waved his wand. The giant, who was about to swing its club down, suddenly felt something lighten in its hand. It looked up curiously, only to discover that the club in its hand had somehow transformed into a giant rubber chicken! It squeezed the thing, and it let out a “Wook-Wook” sound!
“Haha.”
Hermione, hiding to the side, couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the comical sight. No wonder Zhang Dong was unafraid. His strength had become so formidable without him even realizing it?
“Roar!!”
The giant tossed the rubber chicken to the ground. At this point, it didn’t even need a weapon. It simply clenched its massive fist and brought it down on Zhang Dong.
Without a weapon, it was still the same powerful giant!!
“Petrificus Totalus!”
Zhang Dong simply waved his wand lightly. A beam of white light shot out, and a layer of white ash appeared on the giant's body.
A basic Petrificus Totalus could only petrify ordinary humans. It would be completely useless against magic creatures like the giant, which were several times larger than normal humans. Fortunately, Zhang Dong's Petrificus Totalus was an intermediate level spell.
Even a magic creature like the giant could be petrified for a short time. And that time was enough for Zhang Dong to do a lot.
He used the Transfiguration spell once again!
In an instant, the giant’s club, which had just transformed into a rubber chicken, changed once again. It didn't turn back into a club, but rather directly morphed into a giant iron hammer! Just the hammerhead alone was the same size as the giant's head!
“Wingardium Leviosa!”
The intermediate levitation spell was cast. The giant iron hammer soared into the air.
Hermione, watching from the side, suddenly remembered something Zhang Dong had said to her.
“Although giants are tall and powerful, their body proportions are unbalanced, and they are simple-minded and strong. Therefore, a small blow to the head could cause them to faint.”
That’s right! The head is the giant's weakness! But, you're about to drop a giant hammer on it! You’re not just going to knock it out, you’re going to smash it to death!
Better safe than sorry. After all, who knows if the thing’s head can withstand a beating? What if the club didn’t kill it, and it got up and came back to attack him?
Bang!!
Zhang Dong used the levitation spell to swing the hammer down with force. Although Zhang Dong’s strength had been increased by 50%, he was still an eleven-year-old boy. Even with the 50% increase, there was no way he could swing a hammer that big.
Bang!!
With a dull thud, the giant’s mountain-like body collapsed. The impact crushed the centuries-old floor of Hogwarts, and a mixture of white and red splashed everywhere. Fortunately, Zhang Dong had taken several steps back beforehand, so he wasn’t splattered.
Or else, he would be sick to his stomach.
From afar, Hermione could only stare dumbly at the scene. She had always believed that she was actually better than Zhang Dong. It was just that Zhang Dong, who came from a wizarding family, had an early advantage, which is why he always surpassed her in everything. But now...
Looking at the fallen giant, she finally understood the gap between her and Zhang Dong.
“My goodness!! What in the world happened here?!”
Professor McGonagall finally arrived with Snape and Quirrell.
To be honest, Professor McGonagall's speed was much faster than it was in the original timeline, because she knew from the start that Hermione was in the restroom.
But... Zhang Dong was also much faster than Harry and Ron.
One Armor Protection, two Transfiguration spells, one Petrificus Totalus, one levitation spell.
Five spells, and he didn’t even need twenty words! Unless Professor McGonagall used Apparition, there was no way she could have gotten here in time.
And there were restrictions on Apparition at Hogwarts. No one could Apparate at Hogwarts except Dumbledore.
Looking at the giant, dead as a doornail, Professor McGonagall couldn't believe her eyes. Snape was about the same. His face, which never seemed to change, had changed a bit. As for Quirrell, he was trembling all over, as if he was about to faint.
This time, it didn't seem like acting. After all, he never thought that the giant he had deliberately released would die here, and especially not at the hands of a first-year student.
“Well, Mr. Zhang Dong, I think you should explain to us what happened. How did you happen to come across this giant?” Professor McGonagall finally calmed down and asked again.
Seeing Professor McGonagall's question, Hermione almost immediately wanted to step forward and take responsibility. But Zhang Dong quietly reached out his hand and pressed down on her.
“Professor, we were just passing by here, and we happened to come across this giant. Then, I was lucky enough to defeat it.”
Zhang Dong winked at Professor McGonagall. They were the ones who entered the basement first, and then the giant entered the basement. All the students in the dining hall could testify to that. It was all just a coincidence.
“Lucky? Luck doesn’t allow a first-year student to easily kill a full-grown giant.”
Professor McGonagall stared at the giant's corpse. If it had been a victory, perhaps it could be attributed to luck. Although there were not many people who could defeat a giant in their first year, there had been such people in Hogwarts' long history.
But killing...
It could only be said that such a person was a rare gem! But considering Zhang Dong’s past achievements, maybe it wasn’t strange for him to do something like this.
