Chapter 305: Two Ways to Fight [bonus]
Bella drove her wand into the floor, magic flooding from the tip into stone.
Dark tiles split open along the path of the surge, rubble and dust blasting toward Regulus.
Her left hand whipped upward at the same time. The collapsed banquet table in the center of the hall twisted and righted itself.
Four legs stretched into spikes, the tabletop cracked into jagged slabs with serrated edges, and the whole thing flipped over, launched from behind the rubble pile, hurtling straight at him.
Bella flicked a Diffindo through the gaps between the table legs, the silver arc hugging the table's flank, its first half hidden by the table's trajectory, only emerging from behind the shattered planks halfway across.
Regulus sidestepped twice to the right. Protego deflected the Diffindo....
He tapped his wand once on the floor in the table's path.
Transfiguration seeped into the tiles. The stone's surface texture vanished in an instant, grain smoothed to nothing, seams filled, the entire stretch rendered frictionless.
When the table hit that patch its legs skidded sideways, direction wrenching ninety degrees. It scraped past him and crashed into the wall, spraying wood splinters and plaster from the impact point.
