Charlie couldn’t believe it, Hermione and Harry had seemed to fall from their brooms and he was still a bit sore after being struck by the dragon's skull tail, this wasn’t going right, they were going to lose this and then, they’re going to die or worse, end up trapped forever just like it probably happened to Bill.
Charlie was trying to think about a backup plan but could only concentrate on Lucero and Victoire as they flew down with the intent to catch Harry and Hermione who were about to pass right next to the dragon until…
“Hermione now!” Harry screamed.
Surprisingly, he and Hermione got their wands ready.
“Bombarda!” Screamed the two of them at the same time as they pointed toward the respective gems they were supposed to attack.
Harry attacked the one in the head while Hermione the one in the back which caused the dragon to scream furiously, however, that action saved Charlie's life while Hermione and Harry continued to fall to the ground, the older redhead snapped back to reality, and tried to catch them but Harry stopped him.
“Destroy the one in the heart Charlie!” Harry screamed as he kept falling to an unavoidable death but then he heard something else.
“Arresto momentum!” Harry and Hermione said at the same time as they pointed their wands at each other.
Soon, time seemed to slow down for them and now, Victoire and Lucero were on their way to catch them, so, Charlie now had the chance to focus on destroying the gem in the dragon’s heart.
“Bombarda!” Screamed Charlie and soon, his attack landed on the gem in the dragon’s heart.
If the dragon was already roaring and moving around like crazy this only made things louder and stronger, soon, the dragon was covered by a dark aura and it didn’t take too long for the thing to explode and for its bones to fall everywhere, luckily all of them were on the brooms and Victoire and Lucero managed to catch Harry and Hermione, so, now they were avoiding the bones like crazy.
They didn’t know for how long they avoided the things but they surely sighed relieved once they were on the ground safe and sound and now, the whole room was lighted perfectly, there wasn’t any need to use Lumos now.
“Wow…This was…Tough!” Charlie couldn’t help but admit. “I was really scared right there guys, please don’t do that again!” Charlie said to Hermione and Harry with a concerned tone.
“We needed to make a distraction, and that was the only thing I could think of,” Harry said with an apologetic tone.
Soon, Hermione started to hit one of Harry's arms without putting too much strength onto it while she was pouting, Harry knew how much she hated flying because of her fear of falling, and it took him at least a hundred “sorry” for her to calm down.
She still glared at him but in the end, she accepted a hug from him, she was still angry but most of all, she was scared, they could have died, or at least she thought that, Harry on the way was confident about their abilities so, he didn’t think dying was possible.
“Good work everyone,” Harry said with a small smile as he comforted Hermione.
But most of all, he was looking at Victoire who was proudly smiling and blushing at the same time, it seemed like Harry was recognizing her strength, and that made her feel embarrassed but happy at the same time.
“So, I guess we should keep going,” Lucero said as she tried to forget about this.
She wasn’t scared at all, she trusted her abilities even more than Harry trusted his own and that says a lot about her, still, Lucero was more focused on the treasure they gained, she was sure those gems were for them, so, she decided to grab them and soon, she was on the way to reach the door until she was stopped by Victoire who put herself in front of the honey-eyed witch.
“Wait, Lucero!” Victoire said as she stopped the Mexican witch from continuing.
Now everyone was looking at Victoire as she grabbed the gems that were on the dragon, they were surprised that the gems survived the attacks and most of all, the fall, but their thoughts suddenly were focused on the blonde who was looking at the ground, she was moving everywhere until she found something that they weren’t aware of.
There were three holes and the interiors of the holes had the colors of the gems and they were arranged like a triangle.
“Remember guys that being greedy doesn’t pay well here,” the blonde said with a worried tone.
Then, she put each gem in the hole that had the right color, at first nothing happened but then, the door they were about to cross was suddenly closed by metal spikes and it was revealed that on the other side of the door, there was a lot of giant wasps that for surely were going to eat them if they stepped inside, that door was clearly leading them into a trap.
But that’s not everything, suddenly, the room lighted once again before it crumbled and surprisingly, the mess wasn’t doing anything to the visitors, suddenly, everything from the building disappeared, and the dragon bones surprisingly turned into chests, it didn't take too long for them to open the chests and get more gold, gems potions and many other interesting treasures.
“What the…” Harry said now that the building disappeared and there was nothing but a clear blue sky.
“The ordeal has been completed, and it only took you five years to do it!” The voice in the sky said.
Suddenly, their eyes widened, from their point of view it only took them a few hours but the voice was suddenly telling them that they’d been here for five years, everyone was looking at each other with concerned expressions.
“There’s no way…” Hermione couldn’t believe it, five years without seeing her family, they must be so worried about her, and the ministry, she was hoping everything was alright without her.
“Lucero…Has it really been that long?” Asked Harry with a concerned expression.
“I’m afraid so…However, we need to calm down, time moves differently here,” Lucero’s words seemed to relieve them. “However, that doesn’t mean that time moves faster here, it moves randomly, there’s the possibility that a hundred years could have passed on the outside world just like it could only be five minutes…And the dungeon master is not going to tell us which one is the case the case,” Lucero couldn’t help but sigh.
The group of adventurers was on the verge of breaking but then, surprisingly, the voice in the sky decided to have mercy on them.
“Because you are the adventurers who have progressed the most, I’ll tell you something…If a group of adventurers manages to defeat the masters, they will be granted a wish, there are some rules for the wishes but it will allow you to come back to your time if that's what you wish, so, good luck with the next level…You’re going to need it, adventurers!” The voice surprisingly chuckled and soon the door to the next floor appeared.
It was the typical door made of gold but this had something else coming out of it, it was some kind of purple and dark aura that made everyone feel a little uneasy.
“It seems like we’re the first ones reaching the next level but…You guys need to be careful, that aura, it reminds me of…” Lucero couldn’t continue.
“The one that’s coming out of the Chicxulub crater…” Harry said in a low tone.
Lucero nodded at him and the rest gulped, however, they couldn't back down now, even if they found Bill early, they had to continue to get back to their time, so, they nodded before Victoire opened the door and barged inside without thinking twice, it was time for the fourth floor.
