56 56 Stories Angels Dancing on the Battlefield

"Cut green smoke?

My sister puts a question mark on me when I'm done with the whole operation.

"Yes, sister. I'm the magic of Mina, flying around the mercenaries and dropping green smoke. When the smoke has spread enough, 4 seconds. In 4 seconds, I want that smoke out. Can my sister do that?

However, my sister should have been feared as the 'Hunter Sin of the Wind' who freely uses green magic, so-called wind magic skills and double swords.

As much as cutting the smoke, it would be before breakfast. With that expectation, do me a favor.

"There's nothing I can't do... how many times?

Perhaps you care about MP.

I'll silently give my sister five or so Forest Kusleys.

"This is... Taro, what is this? Why do MP recovery items exist… and can be used three times?

A pink black ponytail rocked by surprise.

Take a serious look at the item that was given to me, and my sister comes stuck with me.

"Born of garbage skills, it's an item."

Return only such a good grin to your sister.

It's a battlefield now. I don't have time to talk about alchemy in detail.

"Oh well... but do we have to go with Taro's thought out proposal...?

Did you guess with my attitude? My sister exhaled gently fu and lowered her shoulder.

His eyes say, "Don't listen to me now."

"Taro, I said I was going home after The Fairy Ball. This... sounds like you've heard more."

Yes, it was.

Once the Fairy Ball was over, my sister would come to my apartment.

It's nice to talk about alchemy, but it's weird to talk about feminization... Besides, you look like a girl in person.

"Tell my sister... if I can afford that, I'll talk to her"

Yeah, I'd forget to talk about alchemy anyway.

"Don't tell me, brother. Have you ever had a sister you couldn't afford?

My sister, who stretches out her pins and spine and puts her right hand on her hips, is like (sama).

Wherever you put it out, you're not ashamed of yourself, actress. No, the crisp flair is the prince himself who saves the princess jumping out of the story's picture book.

But.

My sister would be upset if she saw me as a toddler...... and her attitude could change. Like kicking my anxiety into my chest, I turn from the front to my sister.

"When Tom and Jerry started responding to the enemy, he looked worried and couldn't seem to afford it. And when I was little 5, I couldn't even afford to break the chocolate I made for Valentine's Day."

I tease my sister and force her to laugh like an evil kid who has succeeded in flirting. The people who reacted to my remarks as quickly as possible seem intrigued.

"" The story, the excitement, the chatter. "

Tom and Mr. Jerry have been eating up on my story. Those two are beaten up by their sister.

Such an exchange accidentally spilled a crunch and a real grin.

"Hey, Taro. Remember..."

And, intentionally ignoring the voice of Yanaka, I look back to George, Mina, Shaky Night, Yuki, and Glenn.

I'm ready.

"Well, I'll come"

The operation was also decided.

All you have to do is decide.

"I'll take care of the ground, angel!

"Talo, watch out for arrows. I knew the air would stand out."

"Speak fast, watch out for all ranged attacks."

"Heavenly Master and I can...!

"My princess, please be safe. If anything, my flame will protect you. Rest assured."

I snort deeply at each response.

"Haha. Then please protect my sister, folks."

And speak to the wind fairies caught by Shawl.

"Wind fairies, please"

By my will, a gust of wind fairies pushes my back, my body up into the sky.

Keep in mind that three MPs were consumed while the wind pressure hit your face and everywhere in your body.

It's important to know how much MP is consumed for each single gust.

"Taro! I still don't remember agreeing to that operation!

He notices me jumping up and screams from below as my sister panicked.

But you won't think of any better maneuvers now.

So I scream back to my sister as I gauge the orbital modification over the heads of the mercenaries (players) fighting close to the king as they are.

"Sister, I'm counting on you!

"Ma!"

Continue and raise your voice so that you can be exposed to the voice of protest.

"Mina! I asked for it!

"Yes, angel!

Having seen Mina drink the 'Pale Amber Seed', which increases the MP's maximum, I determine where to go.

It is a round table with sumptuous cuisine, placed in every part of the ballroom.

Its landing point (...) glides away with flurry.

As you can imagine (...), if you think that round table floated up sassy, it comes up.

Its 3 meters high.

The timing was perfect while the altitude was perfect.

It's nice, Mina!

Inside, I cry out thanksgiving words to the cleric girl who would have floated this table, and I scaffold that table. Keep stomping and jumping further.

And then float to the top of the table where Mina will be able to float next.

The phenomenon that floats at this table is due to the magic that Mina is activating.

Abilities acquired with Green Magic Skills LV4, "Rising Airflow (Step Up)".

If the subject is within a radius of 8 meters of himself, it's magic that can float the subject 2-4 meters. It's magic that only works on objects, but it's also plain usable magic, suitable for working with heavy rocks, etc. in the dungeon.Mina, who only had 15 MPs because she consumes 9 MPs per time, will only be able to use 'Small Lights (Fire)' once if she wears this even once. As a result, it does not appear to have been used before. However, since the development of the Pale Amber Seed, which temporarily increases the maximum MP, I have realized that this magic works well with the Sky Dancing Circle (Rondo) that I have equipped. A sixth of gravity, I've been scaffolding objects that Mina floated on, and I've been practicing flying from next to next.

Now that the Wind Fairies are on, it's a good idea to rely on their power of gushing wind, but we always need the power of the Wind Fairies to avoid a stubborn attack in the air. That's why MP saving.

That's how I fly down the battlefield, if I look down. The mercenaries (players) whose sisters are attacking are kicking ass, and those who give up are following me with stances such as through and a certain distance free from me.

Kick the fourth table that Mina has let me float forcefully and ask the Wind Fairies.

Let me use the MP that was kept warm here again.

Let this body fly further up the air.

And set a goal. The point where inferior Divine Soldiers (Femi Deus) and Mercenaries (players) compete to protect the King's surroundings. If you change your mind, a mercenary (P) vs a mercenary (P) who continues to fight over who reaches the king dropped three 'fuzzy balls' to the most intense spot.

"Fluffy cotton grass" Fluffy Leaf Green "and" Chemli Ball "are woven together, green smoke just happens to fill the war zone.

The effect of that smoke, lightening the weight of being within range, as well as the fact that gravity, which takes only mercenaries (players), becomes one in ni, a monster fluttering through the field like cotton, Mohusa pseudo experience Greetings items do them great harm.

"Hey, what the hell!

"Attack, you can't!

"Chi, don't stay away!

"You're not running away!

Yes, if suddenly the gravity on me is lighter.

Naturally, that body floats flutter.

If that was the moment when weapons and weapons or bumps into each other, the foot that was supposed to absorb that shock and recoil would easily float.

Successive melee attacks are impossible.

Something somewhat upsetting if you lighten yourself, even if it's a phenomenon that doesn't make any sense to a wizard.

And a green fog that fills your vision.

There's no way I'm not upset.

"Is it because of this green smoke!?

"You're kidding me! Fight off!

"Here we go again! I just came out of nowhere, but what is this!

The upset is for a moment.

Momentum to cut off that green smoke with both swords led to the appearance of a callous figure.

I thought I swing the two swords down to the X mark, and the auspicious wind dancing from the tip of the sword blew up the confused smoke in an instant.

It's my sister.

"Ugh... what the hell was that..."

"Hey, isn't that" Neck Hunting Drunk Co "?

"Also, did you come back to the front..."

From a moment of silence, the flirtatious and deliberate moments began to return.

I sucked the air into my eyes and into my lungs and spit it out.

"Fight!

The mercenaries downstairs shouted loudly.

from their overhead.

I wondered if the oddly fluffy smoke had spread and caused the battle to be temporarily interrupted, and in an instant its green fog disappeared. And next, the flying girl, here I am.

No matter what anyone says, this method stands out.

And everybody, what? And you'll wonder.

That's what I'm after, a demonstration that works best in communicating information.

"Hey, what!? That kid."

"Down from the sky, angel?

"Oh, it's Angel."

"But isn't that the girl who was with The Neck Hunting Insanity?

"Well, then mercenary (player)? But some kind of dwarf, isn't he flying in the back?

Mercenaries (players) who look up at me and say questionable words.

But there echoed the scream of a mercenary (player) who would have crossed his sword with the Divine Soldier (Deus).

"Guuuuuuu"

"Just hang on!

"Due to the smoke earlier, a few avant-gardes got hit!

Ignore that voice and I'll scream again.

"Fight!

The mercenaries whisper the same words to me.

"What the hell, that angel..."

"Is that NPC?

"Fight me... even if you don't tell me, I'm fighting you"

"Yes, let's do the rest. I can't forgive you."

Also, before a mercenary (P) attempts to start a mercenary (P) moves, I complain to the mercenaries under my eyes (players) quickly.

"Fight the Divine Soldier (Deus)!

He cracked the smoke and looked up at me one by one as I fell.

What are you talking about, man? Everyone was pointing that face at me.

"If you lose to the Divine Soldier (Deus), they will take one piece of gear!

Then you can switch gear. For equipment that has no problems even if it is taken.

There are always people who say that. So I'm going to preempt and state the mouth I've thought about in my head to keep standing.

"Are you a winnable opponent, wearing equipment that doesn't matter if they take it? Are the mercenaries (players) around you the ones you can fight with so much leeway! In the first place, with such clueless equipment, you can't even beat the King but the inferior Divine Soldier (Femi Deus)!

The mercenaries graze the weapon in their hand and begin to see each other in the vicinity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please cooperate and fight the Lower Divine Soldier (Femi Deus)!

I keep talking to them all at once with a troubled look on my face.

"There is a considerable difference in status between inferior Divine Soldier (Femi Deus) and Mercenary (Player). Divine Soldier (Deus) Three mercenaries (players) need to work together to defeat one!

"Medium boss class..."

"But aren't they going to be able to afford it?

This is probably because the lower Divine Soldier (Femi Deus) near the King, who is crossing his sword, is the method of warfare of the defensive subjects using the Great Shield.

But not if I'm pointing it out in detail now.

Suddenly, there may be a mercenary (player) who begins to lose interest in the girl (me) appearing out of the sky.

If you stop listening to me, it's over.

I just have to tell you the main points before that happens.

"The number of inferior Divine Soldiers (Femi Deus) is roughly 80! You have fewer than 200 Mercenaries (players) against you! As it is, it is wiped out before you reach the king!

Give me clear numbers and stir up a sense of crisis.

"Is that number really there?

"Can I trust you?

"Uh, but maybe Angel counted from the sky..."

"I see."

"So mercenaries fight the Divine Soldier (Deus) quite well?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"Now, what happens to the distribution of rewards when you say you cooperate?"

Mercenaries (players) who put my words in my ear for once. But what underlies this battle is the battle for reward. So mercenaries (P) VS mercenaries (P) continue to erupt under imminent circumstances of Divine Soldiers (Deus).

What happens to the rewards that lie ahead if the mercenaries cooperate with each other?

What shall we do?

If a mercenary regiment (clan) emerged as the ruler of the city, would other mercenary regiments (clans) be involved in the benefit, even if they could exchange promises to share their flavors as a condition of cooperation? There is no guarantee that the promises made in such situations will be kept. In the first place, I don't even have the time to be making such promises.

I don't know exactly what a mercenary regiment (clan) is that actually governs somewhere because it's a system of domination.

It's completely unknown.

Right now, I don't have enough material to convince them at this point.

But as it is, we mercenaries (players) are left only on the path of total annihilation.

I don't know. There are things I don't know, we're in a death fight in this world right now. And despite my weakest status, I was trying to recklessly convey my thoughts and claims in front of so many people, giving away everything I had.

Why is that?

While suspicion and perplexity, the gaze of condemnation pierces me countless times.

There was one emotion I had with me.

Interesting, because.

If I hadn't played Clan Clan, I might never have visited this experience in my entire life.

So, what happens to the reward? To the question, I answer with a smile in my heart.

"Reward allocation, I don't know what the reward is!

Once again, mercenaries (players) open their mouths to a response that is too irresponsible and free.

"It's unknown!

Hey, isn't that what we're talking about?

So I ask the fairies, not the mercenaries (players) who start whining.

The fairies put my mind together and slowly let the wind spin like a circle and let me rise.

"We were so close to the fairies and it was unknown to be able to fly in the sky!

People are still happy with this statement and my behavior.

"Is it that much fun to find out!? Challenge the fight, guaranteed the promised benefits. Is that adventure!?

Because the end of the adventure is an unknown realm that someone hasn't broken yet. Because it's a field I haven't seen yet. Because there are still unknown items and weapons sleeping, there are still monsters that have never been relative.

It's exciting.

"The unknown adventure we've been looking for… was it just a task to collect, based on definite results and information!?

A world where information leaked and figured it out.

Games that tend to be working games.

But Clan Clan is the subject of an encounter with the unknown, and the operation purposefully exercises the power technique of calling it freedom and shutting down all offensive sites.

Aren't we all attracted to Clan Clan because the world with tactical sites and tactical books isn't enough?

Because it is a world where anything is ant, breathes in real life, and can change.

"If the mercenary regiment (anyone here) gains control of Michelangelo..."

Spread your hands and smile flamboyantly.

"You just have to take it!

I don't know if there's a system that can take control of it!

I've prefaced that I don't know anymore, and you know I'm saying the right thing.

"As it is… it will only be a pleasure for the last one left to be stripped of their gear by the inferior Divine Soldiers (Femi Deus)!

"Sure, you are"

"Do we work together without thinking about it later?

"Seriously, I don't think about it later, I enjoy it now with a bee. You're serious, aren't you?

"All you have to do is give back control later. Looks like a mercenary."

"The battle is over, and the next battle will come again. Don't let your chest jump."

"Even an old bone like this doesn't hold its exhilaration. Young people have a good mood."

"Such a little girl is straining herself. Shall we call this an alliance?"

A voice that agrees with me verbally spreads to the front like a wave.

Seeing as that makes me laugh naturally and provocatively.

"The enemy is not a mercenary!

And when I'm convinced that the air has changed, I'll do you a solid favor.

"Again, I say. Fight the Divine Soldiers!

"I didn't come here just to get my gear."

"A carriage or something, it was expensive!

"Events that just get caught, they suck!

"Whoa, whoa! The angel who took the fairy and descended from the sky!

"Angel's favor, I'll hear you out!

"Angel, what's your name!

A whisper? rocks the battlefield with furious momentum.

I feel that expensive warfare on my skin and snort at the "Neck Hunting Drunk Co" people who would have watched me nervously, as well as PT members, especially Mina.

"The battlefield is huge! I'm going to tell all the mercenaries! I wish you all a good fight! If I make it to the King's War, let me fight with you."

When I ran out, Mina was in a position to mumble a chant to activate magic on a round table a little further away.

"Whoa! Leave it to me!

"Good luck! I'll do my best over here!

"I'm waiting, angel!

"Before the angel arrives, we have to be careful not to chop off the king's neck."

"You can do it, right?

With the words of the trusty mercenaries (players) on my back, I rise to the table where Mina floats me.

Ask the mercenaries of the desolate to help you to your next location.

――――

――――

"Angel's right!

"Three to one, we can cross over to the Lower Divine Soldier!

"An alliance! Now we just have to join forces to survive anyway!

The banquet hall, the mercenaries (players) in the outer periphery, who had been forced to struggle by the unstoppable mercenaries (P) v mercenaries (P), gradually shrunk the circle of siege by the inferior Divine Soldier (Femi Deus), listened to me briefly for a price.

Although, of course, we could not skip the step of generating green smoke in "Fuwamoku Ball" and temporarily forcing the battle to end.

Apart from the frontline, there were few mercenaries (players) who genuinely looked to dominate Michelangelo, rather there seemed to be many mercenaries who stood around not to be killed by inferior divine soldiers (Femi Deus) or other mercenaries (players).

"Before the angel sees you, can you look impudent!

"Go on with us. Yes!

"Be careful not to hit those who are fighting in close proximity with magic or ranged attacks!

"Yabe! They broke through!

"Follow Us!

"Keep the angel away from the inferior soldiers!

Soon, for the mercenaries (players) in the outer perimeter, I was flagged, and a lot of gaze gathered on me drifting undefended over the sky.

The Lower Divine Soldier (Femi Deus) had no time to set a goal for me like that, and was being pursued by mercenaries (players) who began to fight in unison.

The Lower Divine Soldier (Femi Deus), which originally surrounded the outer perimeter, is not a dense formation like the Lower Divine Soldier (Femi Deus), which is spreading battle near the King because of its extensive placement.

In other words, the siege net could have been easily broken if it had defeated a single Divine Soldier (Deus).

"Good luck, everyone!

The voices of all the wild bastards respond to my cheering.

"" "Whoa, whoa!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I want to go down to the ground and join the war, or I want something to cover me from the sky. However, there are only three remaining Ranged Fireworks items, so I keep them for when they are here.

No way can you point all kinds of Chemli balls to the ground that can only be effectively disturbed.

In other words, it is useless to just watch everyone's death fight from the sky.

but somehow I don't feel like I'm heavily involved in the morale of the mercenaries fighting with the inferior Divine Soldier (Femi Deus), so I just send my support to wither my voice.

"Good luck! Ah! There's one inferior Divine Soldier (Femi Deus) coming from over there!

I point and quickly show where the inferior samurai (Femi Deus) blew up several mercenaries (players). Grasp the situation from above, this is my role (lol). Tell them so and let everyone know the crisis.

"Whoa! You Bentens bastards, you're fucked! We'll push you back!

Thus, the drawings of the inferior Divine Soldier (Femi Deus) VS Mercenary (Player) opened with the fierce battle.

――――

――――

"Da, no... you can't push in any more!

The peripheral Divine Soldier (Deus) sweep seemed to be going well, but their strength was different digits.

He resisted and defeated many inferior soldiers (Femi Deus).

Still, the mercenary (player) side suffered no further damage.

"Gosh, let me. Eh?"

"Seriously, seriously sucks! MagiHelp!"

"Young you, don't give me roots right away. Pathetic."

"All right! There are 21 inferior soldiers (Femi Deus) in the outer perimeter!

"Eh! This is 60 people, whoa whoa whoa whoa."

The screams of Elina and Josio are coming to the battlefield.

Looks like Yoshio was killed when he was tickled around his butt by a junior samurai (Femi Deus).

I witnessed that desperate shape, and it wasn't even if I could be purely happy with nettles or anything.

The mercenary (player) side had already reduced the number of venues with so many people to less than 60.

By contrast, there are still around 20 inferior Divine Soldiers (Femi Deus) who attack this side of the King.

If you look at all this, this one is three times as numerous, so you might have had hope that you might have a win.

But, but.

The place where Ash King Kaguya Morpheus would sit, his guardian inferior samurai (Femi Deus), boasted the protection of the Iron Wall, barely reducing its number.

In other words, there are around 60 mercenaries, as opposed to about 50 inferior divine soldiers (Femi Deus).

This situation was hopeless, even though we needed three times as many.

Even if mercenaries (players) work together, it's an impromptu response.

It may be natural to say that this is a natural consequence.

"The one with magic skills, give me one shot at that bunch of fucking Divine Soldiers (Deus)!

"Too few surviving wizards! Even if he's here, he's out of MP!

Already I quit being in the air and was running around the battlefield on my own feet. To use MP healing items for various mercenaries (players).

The less necessary it is to notify a war situation report from the sky, the more the entire mercenary (player) can be seen even on the ground. I mean, we were down so far.

"Hold on till you get your MP back!

"This, please!

Hand over the Forest Xuri quickly to a stranger wizard mercenary (player) who pleads with the avant-garde.

"Hey, what the hell... yes but no"

I can stay in the air because the wind fairies will cloud me, and I will consume MP for that. I run desperately with the desire to turn the MP on other strong mercenaries rather than using the MP myself.

That's what I can do now.

"Gu, someone please heal!

Mercenaries (players) with HP in the red zone come back here to replace mercenaries (players) who were holding back in the rear. We make every effort to switch like this and not reduce our numbers any further.

However, even though the lower samurai (Femi Deus) fought individually when the mercenaries (players) took a cooperative stance, at some point the samurai (Deus) became hardened against each other, overwhelming the mercenaries (players).

The sooner I hear "Emerald Tears (Potion)," the more mercenaries (players) who have never spoken or spoken.

"Angel, Mr.Kikyu! Okay, I'm coming!

"Good luck!

With a sweat spilling down my forehead, I smile and send out mercenaries (players) to the dead.

I don't know how many times I've had this exchange. Thanks to this, the 'Crystal Potion', which allows multiple people to recover at once, is exhausted. Are we all getting the tension and fatigue caused by the battle, or the movement is heartless or dull?

But no one ever tells me 'no more'.

Somehow, even though I can say I'm maintaining the front in critical condition.

Everybody's stomping on me, so I'm not allowed to frustrate you at the top of the line. I smile cheerfully and keep inspiring my surroundings.

"We can still fight! If you have less HP or MP, come to me! I'll recover!

Still, I have to realise I'm being hunted down with jitters.

I'm running out of items left in my hand.

As I scorched myself in such a hurry, I accidentally snapped at my shoulder at night.

"You're annoying, Alchemist."

"Whoa, you're the one who's stomping on me."

"Ha, you're desperate for level four, of course."

"Ha, that hurts when people say something about levels."

Give me a dry giggle and hold my glasses quickly at night.

There was a small wrinkle between my best friend's eyebrows.

Probably noticed that my recovery items were about to run out.

"I don't want to say anything that would further aggravate my anxiety in an impending situation..."

The shaking night accidentally cut his gaze and turned his eyes to the sky.

"Tallo...... there was no such thing as such a big, dos black cloud?

I also look out into the sky after the night.

Next door, Yuki and Mina also looked up.

When I was told at night, the thing in my eyes that looked up at the sky was an unlikely black cloud. It was large enough to cover up the sky so that it would swell up and close our sights in a few moments, even though it existed in a fairly high position.

"Oh, what are you... Something like that, yeah"

The moment I thought that lump of pitch-black wore a white light for a moment.

A loud enough noise to think the tympanic membrane would rupture rocked my brain.

Then, the dazzling light dominated the area, and everything you could see turned white monochrome. At the same time, a continuous noise sounded dongly, and the ground swayed to echo it.

Unexpectedly, I meditate my eyes with fear and amazement.

Keane sounded her tinnitus all the time, and after a while the area was surrounded by unusual silence.

When you think the sky has turned black, the light runs, the sound of explosions and the swings of the ground.

It was definitely powerful enough to illuminate that even a natural mutation occurred.

I roughly, slowly open my closed eyes to see what happened.

Then the first thing that caught my eye was the sight of the mercenaries (players) falling in groaning.

But that body doesn't have a scratch.

Just like me, you must have lay down surprised by the phenomenon earlier.

And I wonder what the Lower Divine Soldier (Femi Deus) is doing not to attack such defenseless mercenaries (us). But the answer was quickly found. I couldn't find it exactly, you're right. Because until just now there must have been inferior Divine Soldiers (Femi Deus), but they were gone. The ground on which the inferior Divine Soldier (Femi Deus) would have stood is deeply torn, leaving only things like black charcoal. Traces as if they were aimed solely at inferior divine soldiers, so as to avoid the mercenaries (players) brilliantly. I look that far and notice that there is a burning smell somewhere.

"Ugh... what was that, what's that..."

Evening Fai (Yuki) protrudes her sword to the ground from the position where she was making noise and buttocks. I sit on my back like a sword and ask around just like I do.

"Thunder struck... Thunder struck? That's an amazing number..."

With a squeaky voice, Yuki spills the speculation.

"Right, was it thunder..."

I unconsciously turn my gaze to the dark clouds sweeping over the battlefield.

I'm sure there's only one person I know who can use such great magic to wipe out inferior Divine Soldiers (Femi Deus).

A magical girl in a big hat who lived the paleness of the sky in her beautiful hair color.

"There is, is there? Wrong (...)" Thunder Ethereal Reverse Scale (Torn), "I think I dropped it, I think."

Contrary to my expectations, she never made a flashy appearance from the sky.

He put his foot on the ground and walked long before his eyes.

The footprint is light, and I said I came for a little walk.

And he kicks in the fun of the little stone that was rolling right next to him and smiles at me.

"Talo, are you okay? It's all right, isn't it?

A witch who instantly turned 200 mercenaries (us) into a desperate, engaged, inferior soldier (Femi Deus).

A wise man, Mithola, appeared with his wand in one hand.
