Sergei merely scoffed at the beast. It was time to end this. He pointed his wand at the creature. "Avada Kedavra!" Sergei used the killing curse and it hit the lion right in the face. The chimera lapsed.

The students in the audience gasped in shock, most of them never having seen the killing curse in action before. It was frankly terrifying to them! The dark witches and wizards in the audience politely clapped at his perfect display of the spell against an inferior creature.

Sergei walked over to the creature's corpse and kicked the lion right in the head. "Pathetic beast," he said. "That's what you get for trying to harm a superior pure-blood wizard such as myself." Sergei gloated to the seemingly dead animal.

Unfortunately for Sergei, there was a little-known fact about chimeras: they were essentially a fusion of three separate creatures to make one deadly creature.

Therefore, if you wanted to truly kill it, you had to kill all three parts. Sergei had slain the snake with his severing spell and his killing curse had struck the lion, but he forgot about...the goat.

The goat that was on the back of the chimera had been playing dead as soon as the lion was slain. Waiting for Sergei to get close enough. It lunged up and bit Sergei right on the shoulder!

Sergei screamed in agony for a couple of seconds, but unfortunately the goat had bitten too hard and Sergei's entire arm was removed from his body by the vicious goat! Sergei passed out from the shock. He had failed his task!

Aurors, who were on standby, in the arena for the champion's safety immediately rushed in and stopped the goat from inflicting further harm on Sergei.

With magic medi-witches should still be able to attach his severed arm at least… Whether he continues to compete though after such a shocking ordeal was another story though...

The audience watching was horrified. One moment they were cheering for a student's victory and the next he was dismembered just like that. The judges themselves were also shocked and speechless.

The students in the audience were absolutely terrified. Most had never seen something so graphic! Truly, this tournament was a lot more dangerous than they had initially thought. And there were still four more champions to go…

-chapter end-

Hi everybody! Here's another chapter! We've officially entered the first round of the triwizard tournament. Some of you might be wondering how I could be so cruel as to introduce 2 new OCs and have them both taken out 1 chapter later…idky i just thought it was kinda funny.

The First Task, Serafall Interlude

After Sergei's performance, next up was Fleur Delacour. She was somewhat confused about the creature she had to face, though.

Here, the French Veela was standing in a rocky dirt arena, and she was supposed to face a Kelpie, a monster that was typically only found in water. Yet, there was no water anywhere. It was actually surprisingly dry and dusty in the arena, Fleur noted to herself.

"And now it's time for our real champions to take the stage," the announcer called out. "And she will be facing a Kelpie! But first, to even the odds, how 'bout a change of venue?"

As the announcer finished speaking, Fleur noticed in shock that the dusty arena was rapidly filling with water.

She immediately scrambled to the tallest rocky hill just in time, as everything around her, besides the tops of a few taller rocks, was fully submerged underwater!

"That was a close one," Fleur said to herself. It was a well-known fact that Veelas and water did not go well together! What wasn't as widely known was just how true that statement was.

When submerged in water, a Veela, who was a creature of fire, would immediately have her magical power reduced by half! On top of that, she wouldn't be able to use her half-bird transformation either because the feathers would get so waterlogged that she wouldn't be able to swim!

Suddenly, the water surrounding Fleur's small platform started to ripple ominously. A green, horse-like head covered in seaweed briefly broke the surface and glared at Fleur before the kelpie swiftly disappeared back underwater.

Fleur's heart raced even faster at the sight. To make matters worse, the water filling the arena mixed with the dust, turning it into a murky mess.

She wouldn't be able to spot the kelpie until it surfaced, leaving her almost defenseless and unable to cast any spells at the creature accurately. Fleur knew she was in deep trouble…

Serafall had been watching the competition so far from the top of the stadium, and she wasn't exactly impressed. The French boy who went first and soiled himself did make her bust out laughing, however.

She'd seen a lot in her hundreds of years, but that was easily going to be one of the top 20 funniest things she'd ever seen. The next contestant, Surrogate, wasn't bad, but he wasn't particularly powerful either.

She would have listed him as about mid-low class in terms of magical power. Above the average wizards who usually never low-low class in magical power, but still very weak.

The only thing he had going for him was the accuracy of his spells against the Chimera. Unfortunately for him, his arrogance led to his downfall.

And that was always the thing she found funny about wizards and witches—their sheer arrogance that they dominated the magical world. The joke was these wizards, especially the pure bloods, didn't even know where they actually came from!

They were actually failed experiments created by the Devils a thousand years ago to try and create decently powerful foot soldiers. They were to be used basically as fodder against God's endless army of angels that he was churning out constantly.

God and his angels were so proud and protective of the humans that the idea was they would struggle to fight back against an army of them who had been infused with a bit of devil magic to grant them easy casting abilities.
