Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hungarian Horntail continued to stare in surprise at the chains that swayed around us, but she snapped out of her dazed state as soon as her dragon senses began to warn her of something dangerous.
She then stopped looking at the chains and looked at me, feeling her breathing stop for a few seconds, because as soon as she laid eyes on me she could feel the powerful magic that was leaking from me.
And this made her tense, and realizing that she was in a dangerous situation she felt like retreating, but her draconic pride didn't let her.
But I didn't wait for her to make any movement, and with a single wave of my wand I made all the chains move towards her quickly.
The chains then began to circle her large body, restraining her limbs and trying to pin her to the ground, and to prevent this from happening she began to struggle in panic, trying to free herself.
However, the chains made using magic were stronger than the normal chains that bound her, which she managed to break at the beginning of our confrontation.
"Roar!" I could feel Horntail's anger and panic, as she roared and grunted with ferocity.
And every time she made an attempt to break the chains I added more magic to them, causing them to press the dragon to the ground with even more force.
"Let go of me you worm!" she exclaimed, trying to spread her wings but failing, "Let me go so I can tear you apart with my claws!"
"I don't think so" I scoffed, "And if you can talk then that means there's still some resistance left in you."
And saying that I started to gather magic, and when I felt it was enough I cast a spell at the Horntail, with a semi-translucent light coming from the tip of my wand.
At first she braced herself for another offensive spell, but when she felt nothing she looked at me in confusion, only to see me smiling.
"That was a spell of my own making…" I started to say, and then the black dragon began to feel a crushing pressure on her body.
"Gravity is an interesting and curious thing, and not even a powerful and deadly dragon like you can stand up to this concept." and now cracks began to appear on the ground around the Horntail, formed due to the gravity around the dragon being increased by 2 times.
"The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pressure that will reach the object or body"
And as I spoke more I increased the gravity around the dragon.
And it may seem like a simple spell, but it was actually one of the most complex spells I've ever created, and I didn't use it much as it quickly consumed my magic and stamina.
That's why this would now be a fight of resistance.
-----------------------------------------------
-Medical Tent – With the other Champions-
Inside the medical tent, the champions who had already completed the task were resting and recovering.
Fleur had a scratch on her leg and an injury on her hand, and Krum had a swelling on his face and a bruise on his arm, but these wounds were already healing thanks to Madame Pomfrey's care.
And Harry, the last champion in the tent, was sitting on a bed, relieved that he had managed to survive the task, completing it spectacularly and without any injuries.
The three were silent, but not because they wanted to rest or anything like that, but because they were trying to listen to Bagman's narration to know what was happening outside.
"The Horntail is going crazy!" Bagman's voice sounded, "But our champion Night shows no fear! In fact he—Oh Merlin!! Where did those chains come from!"
And hearing Bagman's surprised and admiring voice, the three champions began to look at the entrance to the medical tent with curiosity.
Fleur was pursing her lips, fidgeting as she looked at the entrance, feeling thanks to her Veela instincts that the magic in the surroundings was moving abnormally.
"What's going on out there?" Harry asked with a strange look on his face, but no one answered him.
Well, Krum didn't answer him, Fleur was so focused on listening to what was happening in the enclosure that she didn't pay attention to his question.
"What is happening!? I've never seen a spell like that before! The dragon isn't even able to resist!"
And the more Bagman said, the more Fleur, Krum and Harry became restless, and the tension in the tent continued to grow.
'Tsk, I want to know what's going on there' Fleur thought, frowning, before looking around and seeing that she wasn't the only one who was curious.
She then heard the crowd applaud and cheer, and with a sigh she stood up.
'I don't care if it's not allowed, I have to see how Ethan is doing on the task.
And with that last thought she started heading towards the tent entrance.
And seeing Fleur get up and head towards the entrance, Harry and Krum looked at each other, before they both got up to follow her.
The three then left the tent, realizing that no one was paying attention to them, and after walking a little they arrived in front of the enclosure.
And looking straight ahead they immediately understood why no one was paying attention to them, and why all the shouting and applause.
In the enclosure they could see a large black dragon that looked more deadly and frightening than the one they faced, bound and restrained by large chains as it was pressed to the ground by an invisible force.
And in front of this crazed and hateful dragon was me, looking at her calmly with my eyes shining with power while I had my wand in my hands, swinging it so that the chains followed my commands.
'I always knew Ethan was powerful, but isn't that an exaggeration?' Harry thought with his mouth open.
And Krum was thinking almost the same thing as him, realizing that perhaps there was a reason why Hogwarts was one of the most famous and important schools in the wizarding world.
And while the two boys looked at the show in front of them with shock and surprise, the champion girl was feeling other emotions.
'It's him... I'm sure it's him!' Fleur thought happily, placing a hand on her chest as memories came to her mind.
--------------------------------------
Back in my battle against the Hungarian Horntail we were both fully focused, with me trying to keep the spells I cast active while she tried to resist them.
'I... won't... lose!' the black dragon thought, placing her arms and legs on the ground to steady himself, trying to get up.
And upon seeing this I narrowed my eyes, before commanding the chains to press her even more.
"Urgh!" she grunted, but still standing upright.
Seeing that she was still resisting I frowned, before looking at her arms which were shaking slightly.
I then loosened the chains a little and lessened the pressure of gravity on her, and realizing that she was lighter she blinked in surprise.
'Is the spell failing?' she wondered, before smiling mischievously, 'He must be getting tired.'
And with that thought she tried to get up again with new determination and a fierce look.
But I already expected that, and looking at her I let a small smile appear on my face.
'You fell for it' I thought, realizing she let her guard down.
And to the dragon's great surprise, I raised my arm with the wand before lowering it, and gravity pressed she to the ground again with more force than before.
And taking advantage of her stunned moment I went to the next step of my plan, and kneeling down I tapped the tip of my wand on the ground.
Everyone could then see how cracks and lightnings began to emerge from the place where the tip of my wand was, and these lightnings headed towards the currents.
And as soon as they made contact these bolts of electricity shot up the chains that were tightly wrapped around the Hungarian Horntail's body, electrocuting the creature.
"ARGH!" she grunted in pain.
'Now more gravity' I thought, and at this moment even those in the stands outside the enclosure could feel the pressure of gravity being increased.
The Horntail was still trying to break free, but I could see that her resistance was almost exhausted.
I continued to exert pressure on her for a few more seconds while casting some offensive spells at her, draining the last of her strength.
And after electrocuting her once again I could see her let out one last growl without her previous ferocity, before her body fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
And I could tell thanks to my senses that she was almost unconscious, without any strength to fight, and seeing her weak breathing and her half-open eyes I realized that in this battle of resistance I had won.
"Finally" I sighed in relief, feeling more exhausted than at any other time in my life.
But even my tiredness couldn't diminish the satisfaction and pride I felt for having won this battle.
End.
