Chapter 746: Did the foolish Hermione get the upper hand in the end?"Did you hear anything?"

After rescuing Hermione and Ginny, Harry and Mark were about to leave when they suddenly heard a roar from a distant monster that seemed to be an alien.

"Yes, I heard it."

Hermione looked off into the distance and said to Harry, "Perhaps Raven or Tom is in trouble, but your mission is accomplished, Harry. You can return to the beginning along the same route and finish the second stage of the competition."

Hermione signaled that he could finish the project now.

Harry checked the time in the power armor and said to Hermione and Mark hesitantly, "I think we have to help others. What if Tom and the others fail to rescue their friends? We can't just take care of ourselves. Raven and the others are our friends too."

Mark agreed with Harry's words, "I agree. Even if it's overtime, we can't just ignore them. Raven, Tom, and Loki are all my family."

Hermione looked at the two people who had made up their minds and sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll go with you. I'll be responsible for Ginny's safety."

Seeing Harry and Mark casting suspicious looks at her, Hermione pinched her waist and looked at the two of them.

"What? You don't believe me? I have been studying runes with Mr. Peter for a long time. Even if I am not wearing your strange armor, I can still fight these monsters. Don't underestimate my recent learning achievements."

"Also, I was trapped just now only because of the plot."

Before Hermione finished her words, several alien monsters rushed out with a "crash" and attacked them.

Facing the sudden attack of the alien monster, Hermione reacted quickly. The tip of her wand drew a blazing white track in the air, and the rune " " condensed into ice crystals on the path of the alien monster.

The moment the "alien"-like monster hit the condensed ice crystals, it was knocked away by the ice crystals, making a deafening sound.

"The flames are blazing!"

Hermione held the wand, protected Ginny, who was terrified and surrounded by fear, behind her, and released the rune.

The spell passed through the "" rune she carved into the rock, and the orange fire snake suddenly exploded into a larger flame.

The attacked alien roared in the flames.

Hermione's brown curly hair stuck to her sweaty neck. She was breathing slightly and used runes and the magic she learned at Hogwarts to deal with the alien monster that was charging at her.

"Oh!"

When the alien monster broke through the ice wall, acid brushed past Hermione's ears and burnt hair fell down.

When the alien's tail whip stabbed towards her heart, the "Rune" outlined by Hermione with her magic wand suddenly came to life, and a huge battle axe phantom appeared in the air. With a "click", the axe blade accurately stuck into the tail vertebrae of the alien monster.

The alien monster screamed and was knocked away by the battle axe.

"All petrified!"

Hermione stepped back, panting, and swung her wand at the alien monster that was sent flying in mid-air by the battle axe.

"Clear springs are like water!"

As she chanted the spell, the underground river gushed out, and the water formed a high-pressure water blade under the guidance of the "Rune".

With a "bang", a nearby alien was pressed against the rock wall by the water flow, and the acid seeping from the cracks in its shell reacted exothermically with the river water.

Hermione took the opportunity to use her last bit of magic power to activate the "" rune. Iron tree roots suddenly grew out of the entire rock wall, nailing the screaming monster to death in the boiling water.

Mark, who was fighting the alien monster, looked at Hermione's actions with a look of shock on his face.

He hadn't expected that the combination of Hermione's runes and Hogwarts magic would be so powerful.

And Hermione showed that she was very familiar with Rune.

Hasn’t she just been studying with her father for a month?The Hogwarts Stand.

Peter looked at Hermione's performance and nodded with satisfaction.

Hermione was smart. She learned runes quite well in just one month.

He had been teaching rune magic to Raven, Tom, Mark, Boom and others, but none of them seemed to understand it as quickly as Hermione.

Could it be that his rune will eventually be inherited by Hermione?Stroking his beard, Peter fell into deep thought.

Is Hermione going to join the contenders too?

"She's very capable, Peter. Your student is doing very well."

Jane looked at Hermione, who was originally a hostage of the monster, and was killing the aliens without any fear, and couldn't help but praise her.

"Yes, she is very capable, although she can be silly sometimes."

Peter nodded and said.

"Hermione is not stupid, she is also very caring. She founded a protection organization called the Society for the Promotion of House-Elves' Rights (SPEW for short). I heard her talk about it a few days ago."

Gwen came over and joined the conversation between the two.

Hermione had lived on the farm for a while when she was studying runes, and Gwen became good friends with her.

Gwen also sat on Hermione's broomstick and experienced flying without wings.

Gwen had always been very concerned about not being able to fly in the sky like the villain Vulture, so this was a small dream that had come true.

"Elf?"

Jane didn't know the details, so she asked Gwen what happened. Gwen then told Jane about it.

At the Quidditch World Cup camp, when the Dark Mark appeared in the sky, the wizards from the Ministry of Magic who arrived quickly pinned the "crime" on Winky, the house-elf who was sitting next to Barty Crouch Sr.

Old Crouch knew the truth, but still pushed Winky out to "take the blame", which undoubtedly broke Winky's heart.

Next, the Ministry of Magic interrogated Winky in an extremely cruel manner, which made Hermione more determined that house-elves were an oppressed group that needed to be protected.

So Hermione began to do her best to help the house-elves at Hogwarts.

She founded a protection organization called the Society for the Promotion of House-Elves' Rights (SPEW) and tried many times to liberate these elves who worked in Hogwarts all year round but received no salary.

Because in Hermione's opinion, according to their current lifestyle, there is actually not much difference between them and slaves.

Peter shook his head and said, "But her efforts were doomed to be in vain, because Hermione did not realize that the house-elves' concept of slavery was deeply rooted in their hearts. Therefore, her efforts did not help the house-elves, but made them feel insulted."

Peter shrugged his shoulders and said to Jane and Gwen:"So I said that sometimes Hermione tends to be silly, although sometimes, this kind of sillyness is not a bad thing."

Peter said with a smile as he watched Hermione release the runes.

On the other side, inside the alien creature's nest.

A storm-like sound roared in the cave, and the huge alien queen's appendages that had appeared inserted into the rock wall, causing the entire nest to shake violently.

Tom's power sword cut through the acid waterfall, and the ground on the blade crushed the approaching alien.

"Reptiles belong in the cesspool."

While sneering at the alien monster, Tom continued to use the power sword to attack the besieging aliens.

The chaos chain released by Wanda was crushing the alien's neck, and the scarlet energy generated a strong light, instantly turning the alien creature into powder.

After killing the approaching alien, Tom directed his firepower on the Alien Queen.

The flames created by the Fierce Fire Curse spread rapidly.

Star-Lord was wearing power armor and using a grenade launcher to continuously bombard the opponent.

The underground world has a narrow terrain, and there is also an ordinary person like Chloe here. Star-Lord cannot use the energy of gods, and can only continue to attack with elemental guns and bolters.

On the other side, Wanda's breath formed mist in the sealed helmet, and the faint light at the joints of the power armor was so bright that she felt it was extremely dazzling.

Wanda was about to release magic as she approached the alien queen, whose skin was hard and seemed to be able to resist ordinary physical attacks.

"Oh!"

When the Alien Queen's tail whip came, Wanda's anti-gravity device on her shoulder armor was instantly overloaded.

Wanda flew backwards and crashed into the sulfur rock wall due to the impact force. The flames from the thrusters on her back instantly burned the rock wall.

Although she felt that this power armor was a bit cumbersome, Wanda still resisted the urge to take it off.

“This behavior is not polite.”

Wanda complained in a low voice, and the chainsaw sword on the right arm of the power armor was suddenly wrapped with scarlet energy.

Several alien monsters leaped out from the slime waterfall behind the queen, with a dark glow appearing on their shells.

"Ho!"

The rocket boosters on the knees of the power armor burst into blue flames, and Wanda slid along the ground, sweeping her chainsaw sword through the group of aliens.

The severed limbs were corrupted by chaos magic and turned into vines before they even hit the ground, binding the surviving aliens into a cocoon.

The queen screamed, and the acid spurted out of her mouthparts, hitting Wanda's power armor shield, instantly corroding honeycomb-shaped holes.

Afterwards, the Alien Queen's body absorbed the power of the dead Green Lantern, and a powerful green light burst out, instantly knocking Tom and Star-Lord who were nearby away.

"Boom!"

Tom's power armor rolled on the ground and Star-Lord was also knocked against the wall.

"No, no, that's not good!"

Wanda murmured, her pupils flooded with scarlet, and the reactor on the chest of the power armor burst into a dazzling light.

With a "boom", Wanda tore off the overheated plasma cannon on her left arm with her bare hands and used chaos energy to reconstruct the barrel.

When the green energy spit out by the Queen attacked again, Wanda roared, and the energy released by the plasma cannon hit the Alien Queen with a "boom".

At the same time, Harry, Mark, Hermione, and Ginny had already arrived at the cave. Amid the huge explosion, they felt the ground shaking violently.

"what happened?"

Hermione asked Mark in shock.

"I don't know, but apparently this tunnel is going to collapse!"

Riven and Furong, who were rushing towards here, and Bruce, who was acting as an NPC, also heard the deafening explosion.
