Speaking of which, since Maka gained the ability to sense magic, he has been paying attention to sensing the movements of everything around him all the time.
Including when he was doing research alone, including when he was eating and drinking, and even when he was covering himself with a quilt and planning to have a good sleep.
However, this was all forced out by dark wizards such as Voldemort, Grindelwald, and Herbo.
To be honest, except for the first days when he left home and went to Torpoint and crawled around as a child, he had never been so alert even when dreaming.
Yes, even after Torpoint has overcome the initial difficulties, although he is still slipping through various cracks every day, at least he can always sleep soundly every night.
However, since the first year after enrolling in Hogwarts...
"... Well, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Suddenly, Maka shook his head and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind - the reason why he suddenly thought of these was entirely because he was very rarely able to completely put away his sensing ability at this moment, like an ordinary person. I was still groping in the dark in the fog, following my memory.
To be honest, this feeling of being blind was really difficult for him to adapt to.
But he had no choice. Now he was sure that there must be someone staring at him quietly nearby, but he couldn't easily find him.
Because he knew that the person staring at him was actually his future self.
Of course, although this matter sounds a bit convoluted, it is actually quite simple. After all, he planned to use the time turner on this trip. In order not to cause trouble to his future self out of thin air, he has to avoid his past self even when he comes back. It will obviously be much more convenient for him to take the initiative to close his perception.
After restraining her gaze and going around the alley next to the department store to a dead end at the back, Maka took out the time turner from her arms and glanced at the top of the staff she was holding. One glance.
The stone ball covered with fine lines was still shining with red light from time to time, but other than that, there was no movement. This shows that there is no possibility of him "encountering" his future self in just a few steps.
Uh, but... Whether this thing is effective or not, you have to really try it out to know.
Looking away from the staff, Maka looked at the time turner in her left hand.
In fact, as soon as he took this thing out, he felt some signs of old wounds being aroused, which was caused by the fluctuations in the rules of the Sands of Time. Although this alone will not make the injury worse, it will not be comfortable after all.
However, things have to be used when they should be used, right
"Five hours."
Looking at the time converter in her hand, Maka secretly confirmed it again in her heart - if it is only a look back within five hours, the possibility of touching that "limit" will become extremely low, and in the previous five hours He himself had been concocting the stone ball on the top floor of the empty building, which gave him plenty of time to complete this test.
After thinking about it like this, Maka pinched the gold chain on the time converter and gently moved the small hourglass in the middle of the gold ring with one hand.
One, two, three, four... five.
Except for the figure that he had left when he first came out of the alley, the surrounding scene had not changed at all, which showed that no one had been here in the previous five hours.
At this moment, Maka, who had just returned to five hours ago, immediately glanced at the top of the staff again. After finding that the stone ball was still unresponsive, she held her breath and walked out of the alley.
…
"Qiang—"
In the middle of a certain street, a silver stream of light accompanied by a fast figure suddenly appeared from the boundless fog, and struck heavily on a black ball as tall as a person.
And after the silver light passed over the surface of the black ball, leaving a long and slender scratch, it followed the figure and submerged into the gray mist again.
There was nothing sloppy about this coming and going, and even the only pause seemed extremely short.
After the touch of silver left, a few long sharp thorns appeared on the surface of the black ball, and they stuck in vain at several places where the figure passed.
Needless to say, it was Harry who was fighting a black-eyed wizard, and the Sword of Gryffindor in his hand.
After this period of continuous fighting, Harry had gradually begun to adapt to his sudden increase in physical fitness. In this way, coupled with the rather unstoppable Sword of Gryffindor, he became one of the few people in London who could face off against these strange black-eyed wizards.
But to be honest, if he only relied on himself, it would still not be easy to fight such a difficult opponent.
Currently relying on the sharpness of the sword, it can be said that as long as he cuts the opponent's body, he will definitely leave a serious scar on the opponent. But at the same time, his body is still that of an ordinary person. If he is stabbed by the opponent's black thorns, a hole will be poked out, which is the obvious result.
However, the opponent has that black substance that can hold up a strong spherical shield for defense, but he does not have any suitable means to accurately defend against every attack of the opponent.
Not to mention, the black-eyed wizard's physical ability is not much inferior to him. If the opponent is allowed to move, the battle will often fall into a dangerous stalemate.
Therefore, when encountering such a black-eyed wizard who can manipulate black unknown substances, he must first launch an offensive as fierce as possible to force the opponent to prop up the shield. And after that, facing an enemy who couldn't move at will, he could get the opportunity to find a gap and carry out precise attacks.
But even at this level, it is still not easy to hurt the other party.
But fortunately, now he is not alone!
After testing the other party again and discovering that the guy covering himself with black material would not be able to come out easily for the time being, Harry immediately raised his head and said hello to the air.
Then, a shadow suddenly roared down from the sky above the street, swooping in at high speed with a strong sound of wind.
"boom-"
With a loud noise, a dark green to almost black fire dragon hit the black ball heavily, and a dragon claw firmly clasped the entire black ball.
Immediately afterwards, the fire dragon spread its wings and flew up again, throwing the black ball into the air.
"Roar!"
When it comes to the power of fire breath, the Norwegian Ridgeback is certainly not the most powerful among the many varieties of fire dragons; but their best attack method is definitely breathing fire.
Fire dragons of this species will spit out sparks unconsciously when they are born. Within a week, black flames will appear from their noses. After more than a month, they can fully master the innate ability to breathe fire.
At this moment, the fire dragon that threw the black ball opened its giant kiss, raised its neck, and a blazing flame rolled out. In an instant, the space where the flames passed seemed to become slightly distorted.
The breath of the fire dragon is not an ordinary flame, they are also a kind of magical flame. Although the characteristics of this kind of dragon flame are different, the one thing they have in common is the powerful and pure burning ability.
Although the shield of the black-eyed wizard was strong, it could not resist the fire dragon's breath which only exerted its destructive power to the extreme.
Immediately, Harry saw the black ball in the air suddenly disintegrate. The wizard who had been hiding inside instantly jumped into the air, narrowly avoiding the violent blazing stream, and then fell straight to the side.
Harry knew that these black-eyed wizards were not stupid at all in combat, and were much sharper than other dark wizards. When facing the fire dragon, although the opponent could fly, he immediately decided to return to the ground.
Fighting a fire dragon in the air is the most thankless act. Although it is not impossible to fight, it is definitely not as efficient and beneficial as luring the fire dragon to the ground.
Unfortunately, although the other party's idea was correct, his opponent was obviously more than just a fire dragon.
As soon as he saw the guy falling from the sky, Harry immediately stuffed the broomstick he had just taken out of Hermione's bag back into his pocket, and at the same time ran quickly towards the spot where the guy landed.
"Ding-"
The black-eyed wizard's observation skills were obviously not weak. Just as Harry ran over, a black thorn like a spear fell from the sky.
Although Harry on the ground accurately cut off the black thorn, his speed could not help but slow down, and he was unable to get closer in time before the opponent landed.
However, although his plan for a close attack was not accomplished, his plan to attract his attention was considered a success. At that second, I saw the fire dragon's tail suddenly and quickly sweep towards the opponent's side. If it were hit by this blow, the giant's strong defense would probably show its teeth.
However, neither Harry nor Charlie on the dragon's back expected that the black-eyed wizard who was still in the air suddenly curled up his body decisively, and actually dodged the dangerous blow by a hair's breadth with great accuracy.
Then, he suddenly fell to the ground, dodged at the feet of Harry, who took the opportunity to run there and waved his sword, and rolled to the side to hide.
"Hit!"
The thought flashed through Harry's mind, and the blood stains on the ground showed that he was right. However, the sword was still mostly dodged by the opponent, leaving only a shallow cut on the back.
Just when Harry was about to take advantage of his victory, an unwarranted warning made his steps suddenly stop.
"Watch your back!"
Charlie's voice came through the air, and when Harry heard it, his whole body felt chilly. He gritted his teeth and fell forward. The next moment, he felt a strong wind passing over his head. It was so close that it hurt his scalp.
Someone is attacking!
