Glenn's constitution couldn't be judged by ordinary standards. As an Obscurial, his natural magic capacity far exceeded that of his peers, and his physical strength—whether in magic containment ability or bodily resilience—was far beyond normal people.
But his daily personal training held himself to extremely high standards. Ever since he discovered during training that pushing too hard wouldn't turn him into a Squib even when his magic was completely depleted, physical exhaustion and complete magic depletion became perfectly normal occurrences in his subsequent training.
That alone wasn't enough. After drinking potions to restore stamina and magic, he'd simultaneously take potions to relieve muscle and mental fatigue, allowing Glenn to conduct second, third, and even more training sessions.
Only stopping when the potion effects began diminishing from repeated consumption in a short time.
Though consuming large quantities of potions wasn't great for the body—essentially a life-burning behavior—Glenn, who possessed the Philosopher's Stone, lacked nothing if not lifespan.
Therefore, as a potion maker, magic restoration potions were among the more numerous types in his personal supply. Even giving away over ten bottles now wouldn't affect Glenn under current circumstances.
Unless this battle dragged on indefinitely.
But that was impossible.
The North China Magical Arts School personnel had already engaged the dark wizards. From the dark wizards' perspective, they were now entangled, meaning they had to eliminate everyone on Glenn's side before they could rest. If even one person left the secret realm alive, they'd be completely finished.
After all, in the dark wizards' eyes, Glenn's team was merely some magical arts school squad that had entered the secret realm and been "coincidentally discovered" by them.
But the truth wasn't like that. Through observation and confirmation, Glenn and Hermione could be certain that this team, nominally participating in a "beast-seeking activity," had the real purpose of eliminating this group of pests hiding in the secret realm.
Otherwise, why would everyone except the two of them—the legitimate activity participants—be graduating students from North China Magical Arts School?
And all of them extraordinarily powerful ones at that.
After Glenn and Hermione left the protective formation, they'd been advancing rapidly eastward in concealment, secretly interfering with dark wizards battling their side's young mages along the way, helping their personnel achieve victory more quickly.
However, they discovered that even without their help, these magical arts school students all possessed the ability to defeat dark wizards independently, with extremely high combat literacy. Each displayed admirable practical combat skills. Glenn and Hermione both believed that even without their intervention, these young mages could achieve victory.
"Which means this isn't where we're needed most."
Hermione stealthily turned the soil beneath a dark wizard locked in confrontation with their personnel into rope, disrupting his footing so he got pinned to the ground with a single blade strike. She withdrew her wand while making this analysis.
"Hermione, you're right. I sense the battle intensity about seven kilometers away far exceeds any fight we've encountered before. That should be the main battlefield between us and the opposing forces."
Regarding what Hermione said, Glenn had long known. He was fairly confident in his and Hermione's strength. Though young, their magical level already exceeded most team members, so Pei Heng's divination result naturally wouldn't assign them to ordinary confrontations.
The two camps would inevitably have their respective leaders. On their side, Lin Yu appeared to be the public face, while their mysterious supervising teacher... Pei Heng had mentioned recently, a teacher surnamed "Wan"—Glenn had yet to see his complete true appearance. Such personnel arrangements were surely made after higher-ups considered and predicted the opposing camp's strength, so the enemy side must also have one or two powerful individuals.
Otherwise this operation couldn't have lasted so long, and Lin Yu wouldn't be nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, judging from the location where they'd initially seen the dark purple lightning burst, Glenn believed the place he and Hermione were heading was where Lin Yu was battling some formidable enemy from the opposing camp.
How troublesome—his hands were getting itchy...
"Wait a moment, Glenn. Look over there. That person's a Death Eater, right?"
Hermione had sharp eyes and was easily drawn to surrounding battles. In an extremely brief glance, she spotted a strange mark on the left forearm of someone in black robes fighting alongside other dark wizards. After briefly recalling and reconstructing that pattern in her mind, she realized something was wrong.
That was the Dark Mark.
The distinctive mark on Death Eaters' left arms.
Glenn immediately extended his enhanced perception range toward the direction Hermione indicated, confirming the information she'd seen.
"Correct, it's a Death Eater. Let's deal with him first before making other plans."
If their main quest this time was finding Hermione a divine beast companion, then their side quest was handling several Death Eaters who'd fled to Dragon Kingdom and joined these dark wizard groups. Since they'd now discovered a mission target, the two had no reason not to complete the task.
After all, this was something Dumbledore had mentioned to them. Though just a passing remark, Glenn and Hermione had still taken it to heart.
Moreover, judging purely from the situation, the mages dealing with those dark wizard groups seemed somewhat passive when facing Death Eater magic.
Compared to the magical arts mastered by Dragon Kingdom mages, the magic wielded by British wizards was more mysterious and unpredictable. The magic mastered by those dark wizards added considerable vicious cunning to that unpredictability. Accustomed to facing Dragon Kingdom magical arts, suddenly attacked by British magic, the young mages needed time to adjust their combat styles and methods.
But the opponents obviously wouldn't give the young mages time to adjust. Led by the Death Eater, they launched fierce attacks.
Among these, the magical fluctuations of the Killing Curse were particularly obvious.
Fortunately, the young mages were also experienced, and their danger instincts helped them avoid being hit by spells they'd never seen before. Sometimes they'd rather take hits from other dark wizards' curses than dodge the Death Eater's magic.
However, once Glenn and Hermione joined the battle, the situation would likely turn one hundred eighty degrees.
