Chapter 41 - Is he human?

"Boom!"

A powerful energy wave erupted from Goku's feet, directly blasting off the entire roof of the Great Hall, revealing the brilliant starry sky outside.

Before, the countless stars were an effect of magic on the roof; now, the countless stars were genuinely the countless stars.

The recoil from the energy wave also helped Goku forcibly break free from the Golden Bell Lock's restraint, sending him smashing towards the ground like a Rocket.

He braced his hands on the ground, dissipating the terrifying impact, and after rolling to his feet, Goku once again charged towards Snape.

"Stupefy!"

Although Snape was shocked by the way Goku bypassed his magic, his combat experience was incredibly rich.

He immediately waved his wand again.

Since physical restraint magic was useless, he would target his mind.

Giants, trolls, dragons—the Wizarding World had many magical creatures with powerful bodies and very high magic resistance.

For these types of magical creatures, using restraining and destructive magic produced negligible effects.

Only magic targeting the mind could have some effect.

The feeling Goku gave Snape now was like a humanoid magical creature, and one of the particularly strong physical types.

So he chose to use a sleeping spell to directly put Goku into a state of sleep.

"Multiple Afterimage Technique!"

However, the moment Snape's wand pointed at Goku, Goku's figure split into eight, causing Snape to instantly lose his target.

Goku might have been slow to react in other areas, but he possessed an extraordinary talent for combat.

Through the past two days of contact and the recent battle, he had gained a good understanding of the experts in this place.

He found that the experts in this place relied heavily on the wooden stick in their hands for combat.

Many moves required the use of the wooden stick to be cast.

He didn't understand the principle behind it, but he knew that in battle, as long as he wasn't locked onto by that wooden stick, he could dodge all sorts of strange moves from his opponent.

Seeing Goku suddenly turn into eight, Snape's face showed a hesitant expression.

In this situation, a sleeping spell could no longer solve the problem because he couldn't determine which one was the real Goku.

However, this didn't mean he had no other spells to resolve the current situation.

For example, he could use a Cyclone Charm to create a tornado around them, directly encompassing all eight Gokus within the attack range.

Or Explosion Spell, Fiendfyre Curse, and Swamp Charm, etc.—any area-of-effect spell would work.

But if he did that, he was afraid he might harm Goku or the other young Witches and Wizards nearby.

And in his moment of hesitation, Goku had silently reappeared behind him.

This time, Goku was serious, so his movements were faster; even if Snape's mind detected him, his body simply couldn't react in time.

"Vladiverse!"

At this moment, Professor McGonagall, the Gryffindor Dean closest to their battle, made her move.

She used a very difficult human Deformation Curse, a type of Transfiguration magic that could turn an enemy into an animal.

Before the magic was dispelled, the enemy's thoughts would also be like those of the transformed animal.

For example, she was now going to turn Goku into a rabbit; if the magic succeeded, Goku would immediately turn into a rabbit.

And he would hop around like a normal rabbit to eat carrots, exhibiting the same habits as a rabbit.

Goku, who was about to take down Snape, didn't expect that the old lady from before would also sneak attack him, so he took the Deformation Curse without any defense.

Struck by the Deformation Curse, his body stiffened, and his attack was interrupted.

At this point, Snape also reacted and quickly distanced himself from Goku.

"That was close!"

Apparition was impossible at Hogwarts, so facing Goku, whose speed was too fast for the eyes to see, he was too passive.

If Professor McGonagall hadn't helped, he might have already been knocked out.

"Ha!"

Goku, struck by the Deformation Curse, landed on the ground, feeling his body rapidly shrinking and changing form, so he immediately unleashed the ki within him, forcefully erupting it outwards.

When he first fought the Witches and Wizards of this place in Knockturn Alley, he discovered that the ki within him could have a certain impact on the Witches and Wizards' moves.

As long as the ki he unleashed was strong enough, he could forcibly dispel the strange power acting on his body.

Sure enough, as Goku erupted wave after wave, the ki energy continuously flushed through his body, and the power brought by the Deformation Curse was also forcibly repelled outwards.

Goku's body quickly returned to normal.

"Dodon Ray!"

A beam of energy shot from Goku's hand, instantly breaking the wand in Professor McGonagall's hand as she prepared to cast another spell.

On the other side, Snape, who had now reacted, no longer held back:

"Sectumsempra!"

Several invisible and intangible transparent blades flew towards Goku's limbs.

Goku's destructive power was too strong; the previous magic that broke the Golden Bell Lock directly destroyed the roof of the Great Hall.

Now this magic had destroyed Professor McGonagall's wand.

And both were wandless spells.

If Goku were allowed to continue fighting like this, it might affect the young Witches and Wizards below.

So he planned to use Sectumsempra to first cut Goku's limbs, which would allow him to further control Goku.

Sectumsempra was a Dark magic he created during his school days.

The destructive power of this magic was not that strong; it wouldn't directly cut a body into pieces when it hit an enemy.

At most, it would only create some relatively deep wounds; if it hit an ear, it could cut an ear off.

But this did not mean that this Dark magic was weak.

On the contrary, he considered this Dark magic to be very strong, one of the top-tier Dark magic spells.

Because it was silent and could not be perceived or defended against at all.

And every wound inflicted by Sectumsempra carried a curse.

Even if a normal Witch or Wizard lost an arm or a leg, they could be healed with healing magic combined with some potions.

But if they were hit by Sectumsempra, then unless he personally intervened and used the corresponding counter-spell, no healing magic or potion could cure it.

He hadn't intended to kill Goku anyway, so this magic was just right.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

The transparent magical blades accurately hit Goku, making him cry out, but it was just a cry.

It didn't stop Goku from also firing a Dodon Ray at Snape, instantly breaking Snape's wand as well.

Because the magical blades from Sectumsempra hadn't even broken Goku's skin.

When Goku first left Mount Paozu, he could withstand bullets with his bare body; now, with the ki inside him, his defense would only be stronger.

Sectumsempra was indeed silent, indeed difficult to defend against, and carried an unhealable curse.

But its power was too small for Goku; not being able to break his skin only made Goku feel a momentary pain.

"Is this even human?"

Seeing this, Snape's mouth twitched uncontrollably; he felt that Goku's skin thickness was no less than that of a dragon.
