"Stay behind me and don't move!"
In this confrontation with no winner at the time, Maka did her best. I remember that at this time, I had already exerted the cooling rules to the extreme, and used the power of the first-level rules to resist the army of flame creatures created by Haierbo by mixing the first- and second-level rules.
When the swarms of blazing heat from high in the sky come down like turbulent torrents, the dense cold current rushes straight up, majestic like a waterfall flowing against the sky.
"Boom—"
At this moment, "Luna" couldn't help but look up at the sky, sighing secretly as she looked at the ice and fire storm that was scattered due to the violent collision of magic power.
A hole was forcibly blown out of the mist, revealing the long-lost pale starry sky at dawn.
Yes, even if "she" knows that there are many important things to do next, and even the danger of death will be accompanied by it. But when faced with that rare moment when the mist finally sees the stars, how many people in this huge city of London can resist taking a second look
"The entrance... hasn't been opened yet?"
"not yet."
It was a brief question and answer between himself and Hermione at this point in time. "Luna" ignored it, only half-raised the wand that belonged to the real Luna, and quietly waited for the incident to proceed.
All kinds of magic power fluctuations around him are surging.
The spiritual power belonging to myself at this time, Delphi who has not yet revealed his identity, and even Haierbo who has not yet appeared are also chaotically intertwined, sweeping every inch of the surrounding space.
But now as Luna, "she" did the opposite, desperately restraining her magic power and perception.
"Food... the tastier it is, the better, isn't it?"
Along with Haierbo's words, the black-eyed wizard appeared at the same time, that is, the "sin" collector who only existed to complete the demon summoning ritual.
On the surface, they, like dementors, feed on human souls. But in essence, not only are the two very different in strength, but their purpose of seizing other people's souls is completely different.
And...compared to Dementors, to a certain extent, these collectors obviously understand their "food" better.
"boom!"
At this time, Maka was trying to resist Haierbo while being distracted, and cast a very powerful explosion spell at the figure that suddenly appeared.
For a moment, mud flew up, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and even a shallow pit was blasted out of the road.
However, the spherical shield of the black-eyed wizard was indeed strong enough. Apart from being sunken a little by the explosion, it was not even damaged at all.
It is difficult for modern magic spells that focus on skills to take effect on such alien magic abilities, because even many ancient magics that are simple, crude, but powerful will be weakened a lot.
"'Greed', 'arrogance'... there are even some remnants of 'jealousy'... a major sin, a major sin that is reaching its extreme..."
In the tall black ball, the other party spoke in an indifferent and low voice, and the sound came out through the solid protective layer.
The so-called "big sins" mentioned by the other party seemed to be based on Maka's soul.
Among them, "arrogance" represents the monument of bewitchment, one of the branches of the soul rules; and "remains of jealousy" probably represents the dagger of pain that was once tried. It is said that the dagger is now missing. .
However, what does the "greed" he refers to specifically mean
"Please hand over your sins to me."
No matter how polite the words were, even using the word "please", the collector's purpose remained the same. It wants Maka's soul, wants to snatch it away, and contribute it to the summoning ritual that is constantly running.
Or in other words, I want to dedicate it to the "devil" who is about to appear in this world.
However, when it comes to "greed", isn't the real greed itself? He overestimated his abilities and tried to kill Maka, and then he overestimated his abilities and was frozen by Maka in one fell swoop.
"Click—"
In a straight line formed by ice crystals, the black ball was also covered with frost, and even had a crack in it. The extraordinary ultra-low temperature penetrated into the black ball, freezing it alive in its own shield.
But at the same time, because he was distracted, it was difficult for him to maintain the slight advantage in the fight with Haierbo.
"Look, if another opponent who can interfere with you appears now, you will have no choice but to continue to distract him. But I will never have this kind of trouble like you..."
"Don't move, stay where you are! No one should act haphazardly—"
One party was in the light and the other was in the dark. At that time, Maka was actually dragged into passive mode from the beginning, not to mention that Haierpo himself did not show up, but brought a collector to distract Maka's power.
After the two exchanged the attack and defense of the power of rules again, Maka took a chance to completely turn the black-eyed wizard who was frozen in the middle into a lump of ice, but Haierbo also seized the opportunity in an instant and quietly Attacked quietly.
"Maka!"
He called out to himself after turning into Luna. Although this is a bit strange, such a small thing is obviously too insignificant at the moment.
In an instant, knowing that Haierbo would use mirror magic to confuse others, he could only force himself not to look at the other person's real body, but chose the fake side.
Sure enough, at this moment, it was the biggest mistake he made that day - he saw the man in front of him turn his staff upside down and stab it to the right side.
"laugh!"
The mirror image appeared immediately, and then quickly shattered, and the real Halbo was already standing next to Hermione.
"Luna" did not act rashly anymore, because the situation at this moment was actually very dangerous. When Herbo, his other self, and Delphi not far away are all very close to him, whether they will be exposed becomes the only key issue that determines the next development.
"Helpo!"
"McLean," the other party ignored his anger at that time, and even had a smile on his face, "I heard... this girl likes you? Yes or no?"
"Oh, I know... I understand even if you don't say it! But to be honest, at first I really didn't consider that something like 'love' could be used as a tool for a wizard..."
Haierbo's tone was relaxed and calm, but the content of his words seemed particularly harsh. If you listen carefully, the sarcasm was almost everywhere.
But this is actually just stalling for time... After all, Haierbo also needs to look for opportunities.
"How about it, do you like her too..."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her... I just want to ask her to go somewhere and have a good rest before this is all over-"
After a round of nonsense that seemed both fictitious and real, the time to take action suddenly came.
"careful!"
Maka's reaction at that time was actually fast enough, but no matter how fast it was, it might not be able to catch up with Halpo, who was closer to Hermione; however, no matter how fast Halpo was, it couldn't be faster than "Luna" who was like a prophet at this time.
Almost at the same time that Halbo made a move and lightly patted Hermione on the shoulder, the small white hand suddenly grabbed Hermione's wrist and violently pulled her aside.
The next second, Haierbo looked at his left hand that was waving inexplicably, and was stunned for a moment.
Since "Luna" had given the opportunity unexpectedly, Maka at that time naturally had no reason to let go of this gap. In an instant, he and Delphi, who was still a windbreaker wizard, immediately waved their staffs and took action. No matter what happened, they had to force Haierbo back from here first.
After all, there is Hermione here, "Luna", and Pansy not far away. If anyone was coerced by Haierbo, it would not be a good thing for Maka at that time.
It's a pity that "Luna" is destined to be captured by Haierbo. Even if Maka has a chance to protect "her" before Haierbo at this time, "she" will take the initiative to be captured.
Perhaps as Delphi said when she confessed - Luna Lovegood must die!
That's right, at least... you have to "die once" first.
At that moment, Maka, who had transformed into Luna, only took half a step back as a pretense, and was immediately pulled back by Hai Erbo. An invisible pulling force came from all over her body, and "she" was immediately pulled in front of Haierbo.
The fate of Shield, including a series of subsequent developments, cannot be changed.
"Um?"
However, when "Luna" let Haierbo drag her into the air, something strange made "her" feel suddenly stagnant.
Speaking of which, after becoming Luna, Maka's staff naturally couldn't be held in her hand all the time. And without the stone ball that can remind him all the time, this plan would be absolutely impossible to complete.
So while Maka took over as Luna, she placed the stone ball close to her body so that she could detect whether his actions affected the rules of time at any time.
At first, even though he stunned Luna and pretended to be her, the stone ball didn't react at all abnormally.
And now... "She" can be said to have performed this scene with all her heart, and every move she made was carefully compared and memorized by his observation through tests.
But why...the reaction of the stone ball gradually became larger? There was nothing wrong with his actions or words, so what was the problem
Thinking that the reaction level of the stone ball is gradually approaching the maximum limit he has tested, if it exceeds the upper limit value set by Thomas, will it really trigger the time rule to restrain the correction
Although up to now, Maka has saved Luna, but this will obviously only make him feel more confused.
Even before he used the time turner, he was prepared for the possibility of death.
"In this world, there are always some people who do things unexpectedly... And what I hate the most are these inexplicable guys."
Haierbo said this sentence while hanging in mid-air. As for who he was specifically saying it to... the promise was obviously self-evident.
"Luna" was in his hand, unmoving.
