To be honest, due to the extremely sharp nature of Gryffindor's sword, the scenes when fighting with it are often not very "pretty".
Regarding this, Maka had already reminded Harry before.
"laugh-"
Harry gritted his teeth, pulled the sword out of the shoulder of a crazy dark wizard, and then quickly backed away with a frown.
"Harry, are you okay?"
In fact, when he first met the enemy, Neville was really surprised by Harry's performance - his flexible movements and extraordinary reaction ability made the opponent's dark wizard fail to cast several spells in succession. There was no way he could keep up with Harry's pace.
But just after Harry swung Gryffindor's sword and cut off the opponent's arm with one blow, Neville's surprise quickly disappeared as he looked at the blood that continued to spurt out.
The battle was brutal, death was becoming increasingly common in London, and Neville and Harry had certainly done a lot of mental preparation. But even if they can accept the ending of death, they may not be able to accept such a bloody process.
Especially for Harry, he would probably never forget the feeling of a sharp blade penetrating flesh and bones.
"Well, it's okay... maybe!"
Fighting back the nausea that kept rising in his heart, Harry used his left hand to press his right hand, which was still trembling slightly, holding the sword, and swallowed hard.
There was no way, at least this encounter had to come to an end. Because even if he wanted to stop, the crazy dark wizard opposite who had a broken arm but seemed unaware would obviously not agree.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Harry was standing next to Neville, trying to catch his breath, but not long after he stood still, a green light came from the opposite side. When he saw it, he pushed Neville away from him and at the same time, he also moved aside.
"Harry, since your speed has become so fast, I think you should try first to see if you can get behind him and attack with a magic spell!"
After being pushed away by Harry, Neville's reaction was not slow at all. He immediately waved the wand in his hand and cast a barrier spell towards the opposite side.
Harry couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
"Well, let me try—"
Without looking at the amputated limbs on the ground as much as possible, Harry took a deep breath and stepped down suddenly. The next moment, he rushed out quickly.
Harry's current speed is naturally far from comparable to Maka's with the help of rules. But when used to deal with these "mad cultists" whose strength is relatively normal, this is actually enough.
"Expelliarmus!"
After sprinting around the opponent, Harry suddenly turned around, almost placing his wand on the opponent's back and casting a powerful disarming spell.
Immediately, Neville saw that the enemy with a broken arm was not only forced to let go of his wand, but his whole body was thrown towards him by a huge force.
"Collapse!"
Neville conveniently gave Harry another blow, and when he saw that the lunatic was finally lying on the ground motionless, he quickly called to Harry and said:
"Okay! Let's go now! Take him with you and get to Diagon Alley as soon as possible."
…
Naturally, Maka didn't know that Harry and Neville had left St. Mungo's. Now he had just walked out of the main entrance of Hogwarts Castle, and his face was obviously not good-looking.
There were two Time-Turners he left in school, one was placed in a space in the Room of Requirement, while the other remained in his room.
However, no matter which one it was, it had been destroyed just like the converters I had gone to check out before.
Although now, he has some premonitions and knows that the two time turners are likely to suffer the same fate. But after he went to confirm the results in person, he still frowned, and the pressure in his heart became more and more intense.
There is no doubt that the reason why Maka was able to recover so quickly from the sudden loss of Luna, apart from Hermione's hug, was obviously because of the glimmer of hope that the Time Turner brought to him.
But now, as his hopes were extinguished bit by bit by reality, the feeling that made his whole heart tremble seemed to be gradually coming back.
Yes, what should I do if even the last remaining converter is destroyed
Maka didn't want to think about this problem, but she had to think about it.
"No, it shouldn't be... Not only is ancient magic hidden in that place, but few people know about it. If a person who knows nothing about the exact location there wants to find the right place, the possibility is too low. It’s low.”
While walking on the grass through the vestibule and heading straight to the school gate, Maka whispered to herself in her heart. And after he left Hogwarts, he just flashed and disappeared from the place in an instant.
In fact, although Maka felt a little uneasy, he was quite relieved about the last storage location.
Because this place is a place where no one enters or exits all year round except for himself - he believes that even Haierbo will not be able to find it here.
This place is exactly the isolated island in the sea where Rowena lived when he was young.
With a "rustling" sound made by stepping on the leaves, Maka appeared under Rowena's wizard tower. After he arrived here, he just glanced left and right for a moment, then quickly opened the door under the tower and walked in.
Since there are no people on the island, there is naturally no hustle and bustle of the city, and everything is quiet. Occasionally there is the sound of distant waves crashing on the beach, mixed with a few chirping seabirds, which always makes people relax in this pure nature.
In normal times, Maka actually likes this feeling of silence, because he is a quiet person.
It's a pity that today he obviously can't enjoy the beauty of being far away from people.
After entering this magic tower, Maka kept walking and quickly climbed up the wooden spiral stairs. Not long after, he came to the research storage room used by Rowena, which he had not been to for a long time.
When Rowena moved out, she had already taken away many of the things here. So after Maka unceremoniously occupied the wizard tower, there were gradually a lot of things he brought here.
For example, there are many magic books that he doesn't use at all, but are very valuable in themselves, or precious magic materials that he obtains from the black market, Knockturn Alley and other places. He will take advantage of the occasional visit to Time is conveniently piled here.
Among the five time turners he took away from the Ministry of Magic, he secretly kept the one with the best workmanship here.
Because of the importance and danger of time rules, he didn't tell anyone about this, not even Hermione and Luna.
"Bang!"
After waving the other party's large pile of magic books on a shelf and letting them fall on the research table nearby, Maka waved again, causing a stone box hidden behind the books to slowly float out.
This stone box was carved by his own hands. Of course, its purpose was not only for its beauty, but also to protect the magic items inside.
Precisely because natural stones do not interfere with magic power, not only Hermione but also Maka often use stones to carve rune patterns that can be preserved for a long time.
The next moment, Maka reached out and waved lightly over the lid of the stone box. A faint blue light flashed along with the many notches on the box, and the lid opened with a "click".
But at that moment, Maka's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and a somewhat incredible expression appeared on her face.
"Who could do that, come here and destroy my things?"
He stared at the pile of converter parts and fragments padded with velvet cloth in the stone box for a long time, and then carefully checked the state of the box itself - yes, the stone box itself did not show any signs of damage. It means that the person who destroyed the converter opened the box in a normal way.
Doesn't this mean that the other party, like him, has a very in-depth understanding and research of rune patterns
No, how is this possible
Since Maka's rune pattern is a way of using ancient runes that he developed on his own after referring to ancient magic arrays, it is difficult for even ancient wizards like Haierbo who are familiar with ancient magic to do it directly. Interpret Maka's rune diagram.
If nothing else, the concept of combination and the overall structure are quite different.
"Who exactly is it?"
If anything, except for Hermione and Luna, who are almost "inherited" from him, there are no people who can easily open this box...
"...It seems like I'm the only one left?"
Maka murmured to herself, but soon shook her head rather self-deprecatingly.
"How can it be!"
My future self comes back and destroys the time turner? There is a logical problem with this statement and it is obviously untenable.
"Then, who could it be?"
