Chapter 88: Battle!
As Lin Qi moved, several invisible ropes instantly condensed into shape in the air.
The rope flew out swiftly, like a nimble serpent, looping around Quirrell's limbs, body, and neck.
For ordinary wizards, such a swift, stealthy, and deadly magical attack that seals vital points is an unstoppable and fatal blow.
But Quirrell is no ordinary wizard.
He initially went to the Dark Forest of Albania to find the Dark Lord because he wanted to learn advanced dark magic and gain powerful strength.
After finding the Dark Lord, one of the conditions for him to possess him and become his puppet is that the Dark Lord must teach him magic.
And the Dark Lord kept his promise, teaching him various powerful dark magics.
Therefore, Quirrell is not weak at present.
He keenly sensed the invisible ropes in the air hurtling towards him.
At the same time, Voldemort was also directing him in his mind:
"Watch out for those ropes! Don't dodge! Dodging is useless! He can control them freely! Smash them!"

"Yes, Master!"
Quirrell focused intently on wielding his wand, his movements subtle, sometimes flicking, sometimes sweeping, sometimes opening outwards, sometimes closing inwards. Magical light shot from the tip of his wand, shattering and destroying all the invisible ropes flying towards him.
He even had the energy to unleash a spell on Lynch.
"Oh?" Lin Qi raised an eyebrow, flicked his finger to deflect the spell Qi Luo had cast, seemingly not expecting his attack to be so easily neutralized.
After breaking through Lynch's attack, Quirrell couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Since returning from Albania, he has had few opportunities to test his magical abilities.
The attack on the six Vagado wizards in the Forbidden Forest was the only time he had fought against other wizards since he started learning magic from the Dark Lord.
But that attack was a sneak attack launched in the dark, completely different from what we're doing now.
Jim Lynch is the legendary hangman!
I was able to deflect his attacks and even launch a counterattack. Finally... I, Quirinas Quirrell, can finally spar with such a top figure in the magical world!
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Not bad, so... how about this?"
His fingers twitched again, and several new ropes formed in the air, looping towards Quirrell.
Quirrell focused his mind and brandished his wand, preparing to repeat his previous trick and break the ropes once more.
"Watch out for the ground!" Voldemort's voice echoed in his mind, warning him to be wary of attacks from the ground.
Quirrell was startled and looked down to see that while his attention was focused on the threat in the air, the fallen leaves on the ground were strangely levitating.
The fallen leaves underwent subtle changes, spinning and being shaped wildly under some unseen force—the leaves became as hard as iron.
Its edges are as sharp as knives, gleaming with a chilling, unsettling light!
The moment he looked over, hundreds and thousands of "metal leaves" were shot out as if by a powerful crossbow, with a piercing whistling sound, covering his direction from bottom to top!
In that instant.
There are invisible ropes in the air that cannot be dodged, but can only be broken.
The ground was covered with countless sharp, metallic leaves.
Quirrell, terrified, almost instinctively held his wand up to his face and roared with all his might, "Protect yourself!"
As he moved, a semi-transparent, almost solid spherical energy shield suddenly expanded, completely enveloping him! Invisible ropes slammed against the shield, producing dull thuds, like giant pythons coiling around him, tightening instantly and leaving deep dents on the shield's surface, but unable to penetrate it immediately.
At the same time, the dense, rain-like tidal wave of falling metal leaves also arrived!
Ding ding ding ding ding!
A series of crisp, ear-piercing impacts erupted instantly! Countless sparks flew and jumped wildly across the surface of the shield.
The continuous sparks clearly outlined the precarious shape of the spherical shield.
"Hmm... quick reflexes, and quite good skills," Lin Qi said, offering words of praise.
His loosely clenched fingers slowly tightened and closed: "How about this?"
As he moved, the invisible ropes wrapped around the surface of the Quirrell Shield tightened dramatically, compressing his shield to a smaller size.
The metallic leaves, centered on Chilo, began to spin like a blade tornado.
What's amazing is that during the attack of the falling metal leaves, all the landing points were gaps exposed by the invisible ropes. The power of the two spells did not affect each other, but rather complemented each other.
The crisp sounds of metal leaves colliding with the Chilo shield blended together.
Also forming a continuous line were the incoming sparks, clearly outlining the curved shape of the spherical shield.
As the two spells attacked simultaneously, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of Quirrell's shield.
Quirrell, who was struggling to hold on inside the protective shield, had lost all of his earlier elation.
He was terrified, frantically pleading in his mind for help from his only support at that moment: "Master! Save me!"
Voldemort's calm voice echoed in his mind:
"Calm down! This is a unique attack method of the Hangman. He's the only freak I've ever seen who can use different spells simultaneously. Just hold on for as long as you can! There are two other students here; he won't kill you here! I'll find a chance to intervene and get you out of here!"
Inside the protective shield, Quirrell and Voldemort, whose vision was blocked, could not see Lynch's next move and could only wait passively in place, like lambs to the slaughter.
But Hermione on the other side could see it clearly.
She saw Professor Lynch raise his other hand, which made a series of flower-like hand gestures in the air.
Finally, after a few movements, Professor Lynch extended his index finger, pointing in the direction of the man in black.
"Penetrating and breaking through barriers!" Professor Lynch uttered these four words.
A pure white ray of light, condensed to its utmost and brightest, shot forth from Professor Lynch's fingertip!
Its speed exceeded Hermione's visual limits, and almost at the same instant it was launched, it crossed the distance between Professor Lynch and the man in black, reaching the land behind the man in black.
A crisp breaking sound rang out.
Like a glass cup struck by a heavy hammer, Quirrell's spherical shield shattered and disappeared into the air.
He clutched his abdomen tightly with both hands, and a large amount of warm, dark red liquid instantly gushed out from between his fingers.
The intense pain made his vision go black, and he wanted to scream, but all that came out of his throat was a painful gasp like a broken bellows. Lin Qi waved his hand expressionlessly.
The metallic leaves turned back to their withered, fragile form, helplessly drifting back to the humus-rich ground.
Meanwhile, the invisible ropes tightening in the air, like living vines, quickly wrapped around Quirrell's powerless body, lifting him off the ground like a broken doll.
Blood dripped from his toes onto the fallen leaves below.
