The tunnel was not that deep underground, only about three or four meters from the surface. Pokan took less than three seconds to complete Sheyan's request. The group moved up to the surface like they were riding on an elevator.
They saw a very bizarre portal opening in midair. The portal was rectangular and looked strangely like.... like a large book from the fifteenth or sixteenth century in the West, with a bronze cover and sheepskin pages.
The portal gradually became more vivid until the row of golden cursive letters on it could be seen. Under the row of letters were four pictures.
The first picture was of a golden lion.
The second picture was of an eagle soaring into the sky.
The third picture was of a fierce badger.
The fourth picture was of a black giant serpent!
At the same time, Sheyan could feel the dark gold ring on his finger, the 'Entanglement of Victory', starting to heat up rapidly. Those with good eyesight could already read out the line of golden letters.
HOGWARTS!!!
"Dammit, why is the Harry Potter plane overlapping with this plane too? This is totally inconsistent with the rules of spatial distortion!!" Paul couldn't help shouting. There was a trace of panic in his voice."Even a dimension so different from ours is beginning to converge. Does this mean that the prime dimension us humans are in has weakened to the point of imminent destruction? Hmm? You guys...."
When they heard Paul's words, everyone's eyes fell on him. Hidden in those words were secrets of the deepest level touching on the mystery of dimension, overlapping, time, and destruction!
Sheyan gave Paul a deep stare and smiled at him.
"It appears there are still a lot we don't know about you, Mr. Paul. But I can tell you why there's a portal from the Harry Potter world in this accursed place. That's because the negative effect of this ring on my finger is really powerful. It can feed my coordinates back to Dumbledore all the time."
"And whenever the great magician feels like it, he'll send some elemental creatures to trouble me — Don't ask me what kind of elemental creatures, it's my first time too. You guys can choose whether to help or not to help; this my personal business after all."
Aldaris stood next to Sheyan and said coldly, "It may be your personal business, but a delay in distributing the loot is my business."
Ronnie's expression changed a few times. It appeared that the beating Sheyan gave him had cleared up some of the confusion in his mind, because in the end, he silently took a few steps back and disappeared from sight, evidently getting ready for battle.
Pokan sighed and said, "I hate all elemental creatures not under my control."
At this time, the strange portal of Hogwarts opened. The way it opened was like a huge magic book slowly unfolding. It instantly flipped open to a size of more than ten meters. The portal exuded the weight of history, majestic and inviolable.
After the magic book unfolded, two pages were clearly visible.
The golden-edged sheepskin pages may be illusionary, but they had a nice texture and gave off an amazing ancient feel.
But rather than the texture of the pages, what attracted more attention were the things painted on them. Two strange images were painted with unknown colouring materials. The left image was of a ghastly creature wrapped in a black cloak, floating in the air with its lower body absent. Its weapon was a huge dark sickle. Under the image, three ancient Elven characters were written.
Dark Elemental, Merkel!
The bizarre image painted on the right page was of a huge creature with no legs and no neck. It had a flat, wide head directly connected to its body, a pair of small eyes that were gleaming fiercely, arms that were extremely long, and a body as sturdy as a fortress. It had the colour and texture of metallic rock.
Its name was Stone Blader Raijo.

This was the fate that Sheyan must bear after he obtained the 'Entanglement of Victory' - 'Dumbledore's Wrath!'
[ 'Dumbledore's Wrath!' - Although you have escaped Dumbledore's punishment, he has marked you with his anger. The owner of the ring will become a lifelong enemy of Hogwarts and its allies! This status will remain even if you give up the ring later! ]
[ Furthermore, Dumbledore will send his elemental servants to assassinate you from time to time. ]

At this time, Sheyan could feel the breathing of someone behind him become a bit heavier without even looking back. There was a strong excitement in the breathing, like a virgin boy who was seeing a naked woman for the first time.
The magic book started to disappear. Even one as powerful as Albus Dumbledore could not maintain a dimensional portal for a prolonged period by himself. He was probably only able to open a dimensional portal thanks to all the enviable equipments he had on him.
Sheyan noticed that most of the lines which comprised the magic book were fading away, while the lines which made up the dark elemental, Merkel, and Stone Blader Raijo were becoming particularly clear.
Their eyes started shining, their gazes locked onto Sheyan's finger. Then, wrath crept into their eyes - Dumbledore's wrath! Unfortunately, the contestants could not harm them at the moment because they still belonged to the Harry Potter plane, unless the contestants had attacks that could break through dimensional barriers.
As the magic book gradually disappeared, the two elemental creatures were also gradually changing from 2D to 3D.
At that moment, Pokan suddenly spoke to Sheyan privately with some difficulty in his voice.
"Sea...Seaman, can you do me a favour?"
Sheyan gave Pokan a long stare, as if he was trying to penetrate Pokan's mind. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Your target is Stone Blader Raijo?"
"How do you know?" asked Pokan in surprise.
"You're showing such a strong response when the two creatures appeared, and I know what your innate ability is.... Please, anyone with half a brain can connect the dots, " replied Sheyan impatiently.
Pokan sighed.
"Many of my special abilities require a contract with a symbiotic elemental creature to share the load. The stronger the contracted elemental is, the higher the bonus to my abilities."
When Sheyan heard Pokan say that, he was instantly reminded of Pokan's Rock Elemental which kept Pokan in its body to protect him while they broke out of the Violent Beast encirclement. That fellow indeed looked pretty nice, but in Sheyan's eyes, it had a lot of shortcomings. In order to save on words, we will not list out the shortcomings one by one here, and only state the biggest one!
That Rock Elemental was just a common Rock Elemental.
That point had always been something which Pokan rued over. Like a beautiful woman who was forced to marry a wretched man, it had always been a source of grief and sadness for him. But, that's life! Creatures like the earth elementals only existed in some highly-magical ancient worlds and were only formed under extremely specific environments. To be able to meet one was already considered quite fortunate.
Of course, it must be emphasized that Pokan could not form a contract with the soulless artificial life-forms summoned by mages. The earth elementals that could form a contract with him must be purely natural, environmental friendly, wild, organic and pollution-free elementals.
The Stone Blader Raijo which Dumbledore had dispatched this time was not a creature made by Dumbledore. It was a reared pet, like a German Shepherd or a cat. And even more importantly, it had reached the rank of a tier five legendary creature, so it completely overwhelmed Pokan's old Rock Elemental in terms of status and lineage. After contracting it, Pokan would gain at least 13% growth in all aspects and at least three new abilities, as well as other benefits.
More crucially, if he missed out on the elemental creature today, Pokan had no idea how many more years he had to wait to find another earth elemental that could be contracted by him. It was no wonder this guy got so impatient.
Sheyan grinned as he stared at Pokan.
"It's fine by me, but I can't do it alone. To subdue that creature, you have to persuade the others to help."
"I give up the rights to the spoils of this battle and the next. You guys will distribute them among yourselves, " Pokan decisively declared.
By the time he said that, Dumbledore's two elemental servants had fully descended onto this world. Their gazes were locked onto Sheyan, completely ignoring the rest. But that was fine with Sheyan. As an MT, to establish max level aggro from the get go would only make the following battle much simpler.
With a flick of Aldaris' fingers, a flash of lightning struck Raijo's shoulder, creating a small hole there. The creature did not even feel it. With its thick arms, it moved forward rapidly. Having no legs did not seem to inconvenience him in the slightest.
On the contrary, when Pokan saw Aldaris' attack, he immediately cried out in shock, as if what was blown from Raijo's body were not stone fragments, but his own flesh.
"Let me handle it! I have a way to keep it occupied! You guys help me after you get rid of the dark elemental!"
The dark elemental, Merkel, looked a lot like the Grim Reaper, but in reality, it was not even a poor-man's version of the Grim Reaper. Its special ability was to place a dark curse on the enemies it injured. Those cursed would have their attack power and their maximum HP both reduced by 5% for a duration of 10 minutes.
Besides that, it also had the ability to turn the area 30 square meters around it into a Sea of Shadow. The enemies would struggle to move in the Sea of Shadow, while Merkel itself would be significantly boosted.
