Wizardry System - Chapter 34

Chris looked at his mother with a confused look.

“Mother do you have a hint of what’s going on?” Chris asked.

“No,” Lorraine said. “From what I know, America should be a relatively safe place right now in terms of the Wizarding World,”

Chris then looked at Hermione and Kristine.

“Have you brought your wands?” Chris asked.

“Of course,” Kristine said as she took out her wand. “It’s our wand. We have to bring it everywhere we go even if we can’t use it normally,”

“We brought it just in case something like this happened,” Hermione said. “Although I don’t know how useful we’ll be,”

“Right now, how proficient are you two at the Shield Charm?” Chris asked.

“We’re both around 75% of what Professor McGonagall accepts,” Hermione said. “We’ve been practicing really hard so that we can catch up to you,”

“Good that’ll most likely be enough,” Chris said. “I’m sure that Mother can cover us all. We’ll just be there to ȧssist her,”

Hermione and Kristine nodded and everyone put their guards up.

Chris heard explosions and a familiar rushing noise that surprised him.

‘Avada Kedavra. The people out there are serious criminals,’ As he didn’t want anyone in the room to become panicked, Chris stayed silent. However, he noticed that Lorraine’s face grew more tense by the second. Soon the door opened.

Lorraine, Chris, Hermione, and Kristine all got ready to attack. Then Martin and Bradley came in with dirty clothing and a bit of blood dripping from their heads.

“What’s going on?” Lorraine asked.

“People wearing black hoods attacked the building,” Bradley said as he sat down trying to rest. “Fortunately, this is a restaurant for wizards and witches and the diners were able to help protect the place. However, the attackers were ready to kill. They didn’t hesitate to use the Killing Curse, but luckily no one died. We apprehended all the hooded men for now, but we’re going to have to stay a bit longer until we’re sure that it’s safe to go outside. Martin do you happen to know who those hooded men are?”

Martin looked at Bradley and sighed.

“Well I’ll be able to explain who they are alongside how I’m so ‘popular’. They call themselves the Servant of the Chaotic Deities and they’ve been running rampant in America for a while now,” Martin said. “When I came to America after the First Wizarding War, the Magical Congress was trying to deal with them and I decided to help them since I was going to live here. It was around 2 years ago that I bȧrėly defeated their leader after attacking their base with 30 other people. The remaining Servants went underground and I was deemed a hero by the people,”

“What are their goals?” Bradley asked.

“Well, it’s mostly a religious motive. They believe that the Greek Gods and Goddesses that represent all the chaotic aspects of the world are giving them instructions. Their main deity is Nyx, one of the primordial goddesses. She is the goddess of the night and has many children that are gods and goddesses of suffering, fear, and all the bad aspects of human life. Well in the end, all they want to do is destroy and make this world an uncivilized free-for-all battle zone where murder, ****, and pillaging will be the norms,” Martin said.

“That’s horrible,” Mrs. Granger said.

“Well it gets even worse from there,” Martin said. “As for Muggles, these Servants want to imprison them and force them become slaves for labor, breeding, and etc,”

Everyone in the room was horrified by what Martin said.

“This is just as bad as You-Know-Who’s attack on Europe,” Lorraine said.

“Luckily, in the cult, there’s no one as strong as You-Know-Who. However, unlike You-Know-Who’s army that did not have an extremely strong bond, these Servants are all completely dedicated to their faith and are willing to even sacrifice every single life in the cult if needed,” Martin said. “This dedication to their faith and their ruthlessness is what made them so hard to defeat. I defeated their leader, but judging by how they attacked the restaurant here today, it’s very likely that they’re back with a new leader,”

Chris suddenly had a horrible realization from the conversation.

“Uncle Allen, is it possible that during the time they were underground, they were trying to spread their influence to other continents?” Chris asked.

Martin’s expression changed.

“2 years is not enough to spread their influence everywhere in the world, but it is enough to get back on their feet in America and new followers in Europe. Either way, it’s not a good sign,” Martin said.

‘If this cult is in Europe, Voldemort will most likely contact them or vice versa. I just have to hope that since their ideals are different, they won’t be strong allies,’ Chris thought.

As some time passed, everyone in the room started to relax.

“Should we go somewhere else?” Martin asked.

“Alright,” Bradley said. “Does anyone want to stay here a bit longer just in case?”

No one nodded and everyone started to get out of their seat.

‘Well I guess we won’t have burgers today,’ Chris thought as he started to stand up.

However, as soon as Chris stood up, he heard a beep from the System.

[Emergency Quest has been given. Assist Bradley, Lorraine, and Martin defend everyone in the room from the Servants. Lives are at stake. Attack starting in the left wall. There are also Servants outside prohibiting the 3 Evergreen guards, Xander, and other fellow wizards and witches from interfering for the next 10 minutes.]

6/6 (Will fail if someone other than Bradley, Lorraine, or Martin passes away. Killing allowed if needed.)

Reward: Protego Diabolica (Restrictions added due to insufficient level on Protego.), Fianto Duri, 1500 EXP, and 10 Galleons.

…

Chris was shocked at what he was seeing.

‘Killing is allowed if necessary? And Protego Diabolica? One of the most powerful Protego spells?’ Chris thought. ‘Let’s ignore the reward for now. If those ruthless Servants come here, then it’s going to be difficult to defend everyone here,’

Chris immediately took his wand out.

“Protego!” Chris chanted towards the left wall.

“Chris?” Hermione and Kristine said at the same time with confusion.

“Chris what are you doing?!” Bradley shouted angrily. “You are an underage wizard! You should not be casting magic outside of school!”

“Son, we’ll deal with the Ministry, but you will be in big trouble for this,” Lorraine said with a serious tone.

Chris didn’t say anything and was patiently waiting.

Seeing how Chris was not answering his, Bradley got even angrier.

“Are you ignoring me?! When we are back at the hotel, I-”

BOOM!

The left wall of the room was completely destroyed revealing 10 black hooded men coming inside the room. Luckily, due to Chris’ Shield Charm, all the rubble was bȧrėly blocked.

“The Servants!” Bradley exclaimed as he, Martin, and Lorraine took out their wands.

“Lorraine keep everyone safe. Us two will try to deal with this!” Bradley said as he and Martin rushed forward to engage in combat.

“No Mother, help him. I should be enough to protect everyone here. If Father and Uncle Allen lets one pass, I’ll be able to at least hold on, but if Father and Uncle Allen falls, we’ll all perish!” Chris shouted.

Lorraine stayed silent for a bit.

“Alright. Son, you have to stay safe. Your Father, Uncle, and I will try our best to keep all those men back. Our 3 guards and Xander should also be coming in after hearing the commotion,” Lorraine said as she went to Bradley and Martin to help him.

As soon as she left, Chris started hearing the rushing noises again. He looked at the door and his face

‘Avada Kedavra… The battle outside has started too. I don’t know how long they’ll take to defeat those Servants, but I’m hoping it’s not for more than 10 minutes,’ Chris thought.

Chris then turned to the Servants and checked one of their stats with the System.

Lower Servant of Akhos

Age: 35

Magical Power: 30,000

Passive Skill: Lower Blessing of Akhos

‘What is that passive skill?’ Chris asked the System. The System immediately gave him information.

[Lower Blessing of Akhos: Able to fuse powers with 2 other Lower Servants of Akhos. Adds up all three magical power and amplifies it by 10. Able to fuse spells with the other 2 Lower Servants of Akhos to make the spell thrice as powerful (the three must cast the same spell to fuse spell).]
