Chapter 387: “The Loch Ness Monster”
Hearing what he said, Sean could only shrug his shoulders. Indeed, the only one who can quickly figure out what he is doing is himself.
The two of them were squeezed under the invisibility cloak, but Grindelwald looked relaxed as if sitting on a luxurious, elegant velvet armchair.
He was holding something in one hand and kept rubbing it, Its a good plan. If you guessed right, it should be at the bottom of the lake.
Grindelwald waved his hand, Go get it and go to him. Let me know when he is ready.
Grindelwald appearance caught Sean a little off guard. He touched his nose and muttered, You are okay? This is a major event related to the world, and I am still under a lot of pressure.
Grindelwald sneered, I have to remind you, Sean. Even if the sky collapses now, it has nothing to do with the world. The world has existed for too long. If life is destroyed and everything does not exist, so what? It doesnt make a difference.
Sean rolled his eyes, Of course I know that. Im worried about the place we live, other humans, animals, etc., you know.
He laughed, Since you know that, what are you waiting for, savior boy?
Sean gave him an annoyed look and got out of the cloak. In the memory of Grindelwald before time travel, he mentioned that if everything is out of control, Sean should kill him.
Sean knew that if he said this, Grindelwald would most likely accept it, and he always had a strange sense of responsibility. To save himself some trouble, Sean decided it would be better to say as little as possible about it.
He cant stay with Grindelwald under the invisibility cloak for too long, or there will be a risk of being heard by the world. He will have to take things and bring them to the real Grindelwald later; there will be various things to be done, and he doesnt want to risk it.
Sean walked to the lake and took a look; he turned back and asked, Did you put something weird in it? Is it okay if I go like this?
A lazy voice can be heard, I put a few creatures in it, but they wont attack you.
Sean is skeptical. He pointed his wand at himself, and what looked like shark gills appeared. Its not that he cant be completely transformed, although human body transfiguration is also a kind of high-end transfiguration magic. It is fundamentally different from Animagus, and there are many things to consider.
Sean took out a bottle of light blue potion and took a sip. This is an underwater breathing potion, and he can maintain good combat effectiveness even underwater with shark gills.
After all, a wizard is far weaker in the water than on the ground. Only the Basilisk can dive in among his magical animal, but the strength of the Basilisk in the water will also be weakened a lot.
Without any further hesitation, Sean plunged into the icy lake. His breathing was still smooth, he cast a vision spell on himself, and the pitch-black water could be seen clearly at once.
Seans scalp tingled for a while. He didnt believe the few creatures that Grindelwald said were indeed only a few, but he didnt expect that there would be so many. At a glance, at least hundreds of ghosts were staring straight at Sean.
Floating in the lake in tattered clothes, those creatures stared at Sean with their sunken eyes.
As soon as Sean entered the water, a creature hugged him, and the somewhat stiff and cold skin stuck to his body.
Why does this old man like to play with these things In disgust, Sean pulled away the Inferiuss hand and swam down.
Grindelwald was right. Those Inferius would not attack Sean, although they looked at Sean in an unfriendly way. The number of Inferius in this lake is incalculable. Grindelwald seems to have created many batches of Inferius here. In some places, the Inferius are even stacked together like sardines.
After going for more than ten meters, the number of Inferius around them finally decreased a lot. However, apart from some aquatic plants, no living creatures could be seen in the lake. Thinking about it, even if there were fish here, they would have been eaten by the Inferius long ago.
Sean let his wand glow, and after swimming around for a while, he still couldnt find a place where he would hide the thing.
Sean was puzzled. Most of the places he looked for were places where the corpses were relatively dense, but he never felt any magic fluctuation. Sean changed his mind and slowly swam towards a few places where there were no Inferius.
Soon, he stepped on the bottom of the lake, bringing out a cloud of muddy water. After exploring several places but not finding them, Sean looked around and suddenly saw a darker place at the bottom of the lake.
It appeared to be a cave in the water.
Its probably there. Sean swam quickly towards the cave.
The caves opening is large, and Sean thinks that the Basilisk could come in and out freely here. But the water inside is even darker, and Sean, who cast a spell on him, can only see vaguely.
He raised his vigilance. Slowly going in along the cave, his field of vision gradually expanded, and when it reached the end, Sean was surprised to find that the terrain here was similar to the dragon cave he stayed in when he played as the dragon in Nurmengard last time.
What happened next left Sean stunned. Just like when he played as the dragon, there is a white lair in the center of the open area inside the cave. That lair was completely made of human bones; all kinds of bones were combined, and strange green light floated.
In the middle of this bone nest was an egg the size of Seans upper body. The green egg floated back and forth slightly in the water and shook from time to time.
Something inside it seems to be coming out of its shell.
The moment he saw the egg, Seans heart was full of alert, and a faint fishy smell rapidly approached from another direction of the cave.
Damn it! Several strings of bubbles appeared from Seans shark gills, and he immediately raised his wand and cast a Protego Charm on himself.
The cave was trembling as if a huge creature was hitting the rock wall.
Seans pupils shrank suddenly. Grindelwald only said that the Inferius would not attack him. Sean didnt even have time to hide, and a huge head rushed out.
Before Sean could see the appearance clearly, he was hit by a huge force. The barrier took off most of the impact force for him, but the excess force still knocked him.
What the hell! Sean was hit. Although he was not injured, it still made him a little bit overwhelmed.
Before his spell could be cast, a thick tail snapped off the stalactites above the cave.
Seans figure teleported, he turned his head quickly, and finally saw the whole appearance of the attacker.
It was a giant snake, even thicker than the Basilisk. Its head was ferocious and terrifying, and its mouth was wide open like a dragon. The most eye-catching thing is the whiskers extending from its head.
This giant snake looks a bit like a cobra, its neck is swollen, but the scales on its body are not stacked like snakes, but more like dragon scales. The abdomen is violently shrinking back and forth.
Sean fell into a deep thought. He has never seen this kind of creature before, in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, its size and strength are definitely XXXXX level.
Sean suddenly remembered a record in Newts notebook. In Norwegian legend, a snake-like monster lives in a lake, and many people call it Nessie in Norway. However, this creature is rarely discovered, and only in recent years have there been more sightings.
Newt has never seen the true appearance of this creature but only has general information about this creature based on the local peoples stories. This creature is called the Loch Ness Monster.
It is written that the Loch Ness Monster is a mysterious and terrible creature.
Sean knew where the bone lair came from and why there were no corpses around there. They were all used as rations by this creature.
The location given by Grindelwald is indeed close to Norway, but Sean never expected that there would be a Loch Ness Monster living at the bottom of the lake, and even a small one was hatching.
This Loch Ness Monster or Nessie sensing ability is really good. It just stuck its tongue back and forth a few times and immediately turned its head to find Seans location.
It let out a hoarse and weird roar, half of the throat protruded from its open mouth, and the water flow violently fluctuated.
Seans eyes froze. He quickly waved his wand, and he froze the surrounding water. The crimson round pupils of Nessie exuded a terrifying aura.
While avoiding its attack, Sean was thinking about how to get close to Nessie. However, in Nessies eyes, Sean is probably an egg thief who sneaks in.
Nessies tail is thicker than the Basilisk. It doesnt look like a snakes tail but more like a dragons tail with terrifying power.
Damn it, this is going to be hard. Sean gritted his teeth, and while dodging or blocking its attack, he threw one shadow worm into every corner of the cave.
Nessie waved its tail, and the stone walls around were shattered. However, when it retracted its tail, it swung the end of it, and a huge stone rushed towards Sean.
Sean narrowly dodges the stone, but it hits the water that has frozen him, and the cracked ice flies in all directions, cutting Seans cheek. A trace of blood merged into the water, and Nessie became a little bit frenzied after smelling the blood.
Its scales directly blocked Seans spells and opened its big mouth.
Sean teleported behind Nessie. Unexpectedly, as his figure had just appeared, and Nessie swung its tail straight up. Caught off guard, the tail slammed on Seans back, and he flew straight away.
On the defensive spell activated by the necklace, Sean wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. If it werent for this magic item, this tail would have severely injured Sean, and he could only use teleport to return to the island in the middle of the lake to heal his injuries.
Sean could also feel that he might have broken two ribs. The sharks gills shook violently a few times, air bubbles burst out continuously, and Seans eyes became completely cold.
Since he started learning magic, except when he met the Basilisk, this was the first time Sean was injured in a fight, which irritated him.
