When the Ice Bird carried the four of them and flew all the way to the sky over the largest battlefield, what they saw was a surprising scene - a shadow was moving on the ground in the center of the battlefield, and several black-eyed wizards were captured by the man who could The freely moving shadow entangled his feet, making him unable to move.
Around the shadow, the battlefield was still chaotic, and many wizards were fighting with the remaining madmen.
As for what that shadow is... Even Maka, who is as knowledgeable as Maka, didn't have a clue at this moment.
He only knew that it should be a kind of binding magic—and it shouldn't be a modern spell.
"Delphi, land!"
"OK."
Now, Delphi, whose worries were over, suddenly became surprisingly obedient, almost doing whatever Maka said without any hesitation. Such unreserved trust, perhaps it is family love, right
As Delphi responded softly, the giant bird suddenly folded its wings and swooped down, carrying them.
But at this moment, the shadow below seemed to notice the strange movement in the sky, and it suddenly surged. Then, a group of shadows suddenly swelled, separated from the whole body, and turned into a black bird flying straight into the air.
"crow?"
Maka paused for a moment, then tapped Delphi on the shoulder, indicating that she would slow down first. Then, he jumped up and left the bird's back, and took the initiative to greet it.
"Excuse me... is this Mr. Stewart?"
Of the two headmasters of Ilvermorny, the Animagus form of Barlow Stewart has been registered. According to the records Maka had read, it should be a crow.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the climbing crow suddenly expand and twist in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a human form again.
"Yes...then you must be Mr. MacLean, right?"
In this era, wizards who can stand in the air without the help of magic props should not be underestimated. And this Principal Barrow Stewart has done it now.
It was as if his whole body had lost weight. He stood fluttering in the air, raising his head and looking at the descending Maka from a distance.
"That's right."
Maka fell further, and then slowly stopped falling, hovering steadily not far in front of the opponent. Although he usually steps on a book in order to save his magic power, it is obviously not difficult for him even without a book to stand on.
"I am Maka McClain... Nice to meet you, Mr. Stewart. Also, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you on behalf of myself for being able to come to support us today."
A strong person always deserves to be respected. Even if he is despicable and evil like Haierbo, Maka will rarely be rude to him in person. Because their strength is real, and they are all developed through painstaking research and training.
After all, even if everyone could live as endlessly as he did, it would be difficult for anyone to remain true to his "original intention" and pursue the path of magic for thousands of years.
At the same time, Stewart on the other side waved his hand after hearing this, and then said:
"To be honest, I am actually very willing to have a good chat with you. I am very interested in you. But... I think it is better to deal with the following situations first before talking about it!"
"Oh, of course, no problem." Maka nodded.
Stewart obviously flew up just to confirm who was coming, because Delphi's giant ice crystal bird seemed to be too powerful. If it were an enemy, the consequences would be quite serious once it rushed into the crowd.
Seeing the opponent transform into a crow form and return to the battlefield, and then disappear into the shadows on the ground again, Maka couldn't help but raised her eyebrows slightly - what kind of magic was that
"Harry, Thomas... after you get down, you go help Sirius and the others get rid of those madmen as soon as possible, and leave the remaining black-eyed wizards to us."
When the ice bird that slowed down flew past him, Maka gave instructions, then suddenly accelerated and flew straight to the edge of the shadow.
In fact, when he got closer, he realized that there were more black-eyed wizards entangled in those shadows than the ones he had seen before. In addition, there are two other bodies that have been wrapped in shadows that are constantly entwining and spreading, and their colors have already merged with the rest of the shadow areas.
Seeing those guys still struggling all the time, with black thorns flying out, but not having any impact on the shadows on the ground, Maka knew that this kind of transformation would be harmful to normal physical attacks. Should be immune.
"I hope you can resist the cold, too."
Maka shrugged, then suddenly waved her staff. Suddenly, the temperature of the space he was in dropped sharply, and a cold current formed by the power of the cooling rules silently passed over the "living targets" whose feet could not leave the ground.
In order to prevent accidental injury, he did not do anything to the two guys who had been completely wrapped up. In this case, at least the temperature would be relatively low. As long as the power of the rules itself is not touched, the low temperature is just a low temperature and is still a purely physical change.
The next moment, when all the black-eyed wizards were frozen into ice and fell down, Maka found that the shadows that had originally entangled each other's ankles immediately receded like a tide, and put more energy into Maka. The card did not attack the two people.
"Delphi, there's no need to come here!"
Maka turned around and shouted to the "daughter" on the back of the ice bird in mid-air, and then said loudly:
"Stand guard at the other end - we came from here. We don't know yet whether there will be more enemies on the other side. If we find out the situation, we will come back to remind everyone to evacuate."
"Well, I'll go right away!"
Just as he was speaking, Maka suddenly noticed a wave of magic power, causing him to immediately turn his head away. Then, Stewart, who had merged into the shadows before, appeared again. The tip of the wand in his hand had penetrated into the shadows around the two black-eyed wizards, and cast a powerful explosion spell directly inside. .
"Bang! Bang!"
Two consecutive explosions shook the shadows. When he then took the shadows back to his feet, the chests of the two enemies had been seriously injured, and they were obviously dead.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Maka saw a third person besides himself, Harry and Delphi who could kill these black-eyed wizards. Even Thomas, who had gained new power, could only fight evenly with the opponent.
Not to mention, Principal Stewart acted quite relaxed and seemed to still have some energy left.
"He is indeed the youngest principal in the history of Ilvermorny School."
Maka looked at his figure and nodded secretly.
