Chapter 170: The Battle's Climax
Once again the manticore quickly recovered and charged towards Harry, Harry still hadn't been able to stand up as he had been too busy defending himself. Harry quickly aimed his wand behind him, a rope shot out and pierced through a boulder a short distance away, Harry then aimed his wand at himself and the rope wrapped around his waist. The manticore had leapt towards him just as the rope pulled him away.
Unfortunately it dragged him painfully across the ground but fortunately the dragon hide reduced the damage and it was far better than being under a manticore. Harry cut the rope and used the momentum to roll back to his feet. Harry quickly cast another animation spell, this time turning several large rocks into a large feline which charged towards the manticore.
As the manticore fought against his animated creation, Harry quickly began analysing it.
'Come on brain,' Harry thought as he watched the fight. 'I've been really nice to you over the years, please help me out.' Within a minute the manticore had completely smashed apart Harry's creation, Harry could have remade it but decided not to, he already worked out how to beat the creature. 'Thanks brain!' Harry could have sworn he heard a 'you're welcome'.
Harry laughed out loudly, attracting the attention of the pissed off manticore who still had an arrow in one of his eyes. The whole crowd was now looking at him like he had lost his mind.
"Why are you laughing?!" The manticore growled as he walked forwards, it vexed him beyond words that a simple human could cause him so much trouble.
"Last chance," Harry said as he stopped laughing and looked at the manticore with a serious expression. "Give up, or I will kill you." He said, there was so much confidence in his voice that even the manticore stopped in his tracks to join everyone in looking at Harry with disbelief.
"You'll try!" The manticore said before he charged towards Harry.
"I'll succeed." Harry said before he cast a disillusionment spell on himself again, the manticore stopped and tried to sniff out Harry, it didn't work as this time Harry had added a silencing spell and a spell to hide his scent.
"Come out two-legs!" The manticore shouted. A second later two pairs of chains shot out, the first pair wrapped around the manticore's front legs, tying them together, the next pair around the back legs. They followed by two ropes, the first wrapping around the front and the second around the back. The manticore had managed to barely stay standing, when suddenly another rope shot out, except this one didn't wrap itself around the manticore's legs.
No, this one attached itself to the head of the manticore's tail with one end whole the other end wrapped around the manticore's torso.
"No!" The manticore cried, he was about to break the ropes, starting with the one that was pulling his tail towards his body. But he soon became distracted, what by? Oh, just the arrow that pierced his second eye. The manticore screamed in pain just as Harry became visible a meter away from it. Harry rushed towards the manticore and changed into his sabretooth form before he tackled it to the ground. Once it was down he used all of his strength to help push the tail head towards its body. "No!" The manticore cried out when it could feel the tip reaching closer to his back, the beast managed to snap the chains and ropes on his legs.
Harry quickly turned back into his human form and let out a large yell as he put all of his effort into blasting the tail head into the manticore, a second later the manticore's eyes widened as he felt his tail pierce through him, he stopped moving as he died not even a second later.
Harry gasped and panted as he allowed himself to fall down next to him, the crowd were all stunned as they looked at the boy-who-managed-to-kill-a-fucking-manticore! Several seconds later Harry sat up and looked at the manticore, he cast a diagnostic spell to make sure it was definitely dead, and guess what, it was.
"That...was...for Mike...whoever the fuck he is." Harry grunted as he stood up. He summoned the key, towards his hands and began walking towards the exit.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Ludo spoke in an awed tone. "I..."
"Shut the fuck up, Ludo!" Harry called out before exiting. The crowd were all silent, except for one.
"Yeah, fuck that guy!" Jet hissed loudly.
