Chapter 52: Scratches

　　 Chapter 52 Claw Marks
　　PS: Let me ask for a vote brazenly!
　　 The momentary switching of scenes made Mike's heart beat wildly, and the black pear wood wand hidden in his cuff appeared in his hand.
　　 "Armor bodyguard!"
　　 The newly learned amulet was released. With this layer of invisible armor on his body, Mike finally had a little bit of ground and began to observe his own situation.
　　 There is a light blue light wherever he enters the eye. Because there is no reference, Mike can't tell the difference between east and west.
　　 Suddenly, in the sea of ​​light, a dead tree that is more than ten meters high and needs two people to hug to be able to hug it appeared not far from Mike. The branches of the dead tree were covered with ravens, and they were all looking at the Mike below. The raven at the top was so huge that Mike recognized it was the sculpture at a glance.
　　 It doesn't even look like a sculpture now, the dark brown pupils are shining with cold light, the neck is flexibly twisted, and the eyes on each side of the head take turns looking at Mike.
　　 This weird scene puts a lot of pressure on Mike, the wand instinctively waved, and another layer of armor was wrapped around him.
　　 Unexpectedly, this action seemed to anger the largest raven, and saw it suddenly spread its wings and uttered a hoarse and unpleasant chirp at Mike. It was like a signal, and the other ravens on the dead tree all fluttered up and flew towards Mike like an arrow.
　　 Looking at the crowd of crows rushing towards him like a dark cloud, Mike couldn't help but freak out.
　　 Raising the wand high, a blazing white flame rose to the sky.
The scene of flame engulfing the swarm of crows did not appear as expected. These ravens rushed out of the white flame one by one, ignoring the two layers of armor protection, and continued to attack Mike. .
　　 The first raven quickly hit Mike's body. The strange thing was that the raven turned into a plume of black smoke and got into Mike's body.
　　With the penetration of the black smoke, Mike only felt that the magic power in his body began to become uncontrollable, and the flame curse he was releasing could no longer be maintained.
　　 And this is just the beginning.
　　One raven after another turned into black smoke and penetrated into Mike's body. Soon Mike's whole body was enveloped in a rich black.
　　 The magic power in the body could be forced by mental power at first, but as time passed, the magic power soon boiled like boiled water.
　　 The magical runaway brought Mike an unbearable pain. After a while, Mike's consciousness began to blur and he was about to faint.
　　 Just at this moment, Mike's chest sent a biting cold to his brain, forcibly pulling his consciousness back from the edge of coma.
　　 As we all know, coma is a protection mechanism of the body, but under the action of that cold breath, Mike's protection mechanism fails.
　　 So, Mike finally understood today what life is better than death.
　　 Every inch of his whole body was radiating pain like the kind of pain after being bitten by a bullet ant, but his consciousness was so clear.
　　 What Mike didn't know was that the greedy pendant on his chest was emitting a dazzling blue light at this moment, and the black air on his body quickly faded and disappeared under the light of this blue light.
　　The giant raven at the top of the dead tree saw this scene in his eyes, and a very humane surprise flashed through the pair of beast eyes.
　　 Mike found that his limbs had lost consciousness, and a numbness was spreading from his limbs to the torso. Suddenly realized that he couldn't sit still and wait for death. If this continues, I might be going to die here today. Didn’t Carter, the dead old man selling batches, mean that testing would not be dangerous?
　　 Mike endured the severe pain and began to try to control the magic power in his body. The cold breath saw Mike start to shrink his mental power, and it turned out to be attached to Mike's mental power as if he had a sage.
　　 The mental power with this cold breath seems to have the effect of cooling the magic power. After being swept away, the unruly magic power started to quiet down, and Mike's limbs are slowly regaining consciousness.
　　 I don't know how long it took, the magic power became soft again, and the cold aura added to the mental power was also consumed. Without the refreshing effect of the cold breath, Mike only felt that his consciousness began to become confused.
　　 faintly only heard the familiar call, a huge bird's claw quickly enlarged in the blurred vision, and then a fiery pain on his face.
"what!"
　　 Mike held his face and let out a scream and finally passed out.
When 　　 opened his eyes again, I saw four old faces looking down at him straightly, Mike instinctively punched out, and one of them screamed and fell back.
　　 After hearing this scream, Mike reacted. He seemed to have escaped from the sea of ​​light. He hurriedly sat up and fumbled on his face, but his hand was smooth and there were no scars.
　　 "What's wrong with your face?" Professor Flitwick asked strangely.
　　 "I just saw a giant raven scratching my face!"
　　 "It's okay, the injury you suffered in the test is not real, it is just an illusion created by the raven statue." Carter stroked his goatee and said grinning, "Congratulations, you passed the test."
　　 "What? I passed? How did I pass?" Mike looked dazed.
"You passed when you were pulled into the illusion by the raven statue. Only the talented person can trigger the raven statue. The illusion you enter is more like a reward. The longer you stay in it, the more benefits you will get. Big." Mario, who was hit in the left eye by Mike's punch, got up, "I have to say, your kid is quite strong."
"Yes, you can feel it carefully. Your magic capacity and mental power should have increased." Carter added, "In addition, the thoughts of the meditation should have been printed in your head. This is the raven statue to the minor wizard Benefits."
　　 Mike turned on the magic perception ~EbookFREE.me~ and he found that his perception range had increased by nearly three times, and his magic capacity and magic control had also been significantly improved. Not only that, but paragraphs of esoteric and inexplicable text began to appear in his mind.
　　 These words Mike didn't even know, but they seemed to carry a kind of magical power. As soon as Mike focused on it, he fell into a deep meditative state.
　　 Not long after entering, Mike was awakened by a severe headache.
　　 This kind of meditation state consumes a lot of mental power, and Mike has already consumed a lot of mental power in the illusion before, and it is no surprise that there is an overdraft phenomenon at this moment.
"It seems that our wine bureau is going to be postponed. Filius, take this kid back to rest. His mental power is overdrawn." Mario said helplessly to Flivi, "Next time you can There is absolutely no escape."
　　 "Don't worry, I will accompany you to get drunk next time."
　　 Professor Flitwick hurriedly stepped forward and helped Mike to walk outside the cabin. The space restriction was released here, and the Apparition could not be used.
　　 Mike didn't lose consciousness. The mental overdraft this time was nothing compared to the one in the Forbidden Forest.
　　 The two quickly walked out of the hut. The little animals who had gathered around the hut to play around saw Flitwick and Mike as if they had seen something terrifying and fled.
　　 Flivy felt strange in his heart, but he didn't care about it. At the moment, it's urgent to settle the Mike as soon as possible.
　　 What they didn't know was that on a tree not far from the hut, a raven did not run away like other animals, but stared at Mike curiously.
　　 In its field of vision, there is a huge claw mark on Mike's left face that is emitting a deep blue light at the moment.
