Elder Blood Witcher 432 Underwater Fisting

Krum stares into Reima's eyes after seeing his injury, his shark transfiguration begins to fade due to his injury but Reima isn't quite done yet. He pushes Humanity through his arm and casts Dark Hand, this isn't visible to Harry luckily as Reima's hand turns a wispy black and dark red.

Krum feels a pull but isn't sure what it is as his mind is currently clouded in pain, agony and existential dread at his apparent death. His soul is torn out of his body and absorbed through the Dark Hand and into the glowing Turquoise Circle imprinted on Reima's chest. It pulses briefly before settling down, seemingly satisfied with it's meal.

Reima smirks at finally being able to use the Dark Hand but remembers that Harry is currently watching. He wrenches his hand out of Krums chest causing blood to spread through the water and turn everything a shade of foreboding red.

Harry comes back to his senses and tries to escape the spreading red tint in the water but is quickly covered, he remembers what'd just happened and gags at the thought of it, had Reima really just killed Victor! "R-reima! What the h.e.l.l did you do!"

Reima swims over to Harry with a dull look, he points at Harry's face and then to his, trying to signal his need for a bubblehead charm.

Harry doesn't seem to compute anything except the fact of Victors death, he stares at Reima in disbelief but both are interupted when a familiar voice reaches the scene.

Ciri "One of the hostages having her time of the month or something?" she says waving her hand to try and get rid of the some of the red tint. She looks at Reima wondering if he is supposed to be tied down like the other hostages or just got bored and started moving.

Reima points to Krums carca.s.s that's slowly floating to the surface which causing a non-plussed look to find it's way onto her face.

Harry "Ciri! Reima killed Victor!" he exclaims, the water making his voice sound gurgled.

Ciri "...So?.... He must have attacked you first right?" she asks, which has Reima nodding as if it's obvious. She waves her staff at him which has a bubble head appearing around his mouth.

Reima "Harry, Krum tried to kill us. You know what that means right? He wanted to hurt me, you, Hermione and Gabrielle! He got what was coming to him."

Harry "B-but you can't just kill people!" he exclaims, internally panicking at the fact that neither seem bothered but Victors death.

Reima "Harry, if someone wants to kill me then I'll return the favour. The moment you give mercy is the moment they become merciless. He a.s.sumed I was unable to defend myself and chose to attack, not to win the compet.i.tion, not to gain anything, but to get revenge... We'll talk about this later, you have a tournament to win remember?" he says, silently waving his hand and removing all spell traces from Harry's wand to prevent him being implicated in Krum's death.

Harry slowly nods at his words and grabs hold of Hermione and Cho to prepare to leave... However a huge shadow moves over the group, causing them to look up and spot something... Ma.s.sive, above them.

Reima is the only one who can see it clearly due to his vastly superior sight, it's a squid... A huge squid. It has eight tentacles with large sharp bony protrusions at the end of them and two longer tentacles that seem to primarily be used for grabbing things. It swims over them and they begin to think it's leaving, however an arm shoots out and grabs Krums corpse, it stuffed it into it's mouth that's hidden by the tentacles but they can hear the sound of bone being crunched as it chews the body.

Harry looks pale and slightly green at this and turns towards the duo who are eyeing the giant squid as if it's sushi.

Reima "You wanna try and take it?" he asks, not changing his focus from the squid that's slowly floating towards them.

Ciri laughs, "Just another trophy to show everyone back home."

Harry looks at them as if they're both insane, are they really going to fight this thing with no prior preparation?!

Reima turns back to Harry, "Yo, while we're dealing with this can you get the hostages back to sh.o.r.e?" The young boy nods and Ciri swings her staff at the chain still connecting Gabrielle to the pillar, a *c.h.i.n.k* signals her release as she starts drifting towards the surface.

Harry quickly swims and grabs Gabrielle along with Cho and Hermione. He conjures a couple ropes that he ties to their wrists to make it easier to swim with them before retreating back to the sh.o.r.e where the judges are still waiting. He sends one last look at the duo standing confrontationally in-front the leviathan before kicking his legs and leaving.
