"Bang—"
The elusive pitch-black claws hit the magic barrier again, causing the entire barrier to shake. It seems that this simple magic text array cannot withstand several attacks like the one just now.
At this moment, Hermione, the two injured patients, and the only remaining volunteer were hiding in the temporary protection, silently looking at everything shrouded in darkness outside the barrier.
"Isn't it true? Stopping here...maybe it is indeed a wrong choice?"
After the Auror died, Hermione once considered whether she really should choose to live alone. But after a period of difficult choices, she finally couldn't bear the self-condemnation in her heart and took the risk to try this possibility that could almost be said to be "die together."
However, it turns out that the proposed protective array composed of only a few magic stone slabs is not only unstable, but also obviously insufficient in strength.
It seemed unwise to stand firm in the depths of this dangerous mist.
As the unknown "monster" in the mist attacked again and again, the intervals between attacks were obviously getting shorter and shorter... During the period of stopping to defend, I noticed that the number of enemies here was naturally increasing.
"boom!"
Another claw strike passed through the magic barrier fiercely, causing several stone slabs placed on the ground to shake, making people even more worried.
Even Hermione couldn't tell how many times this temporary formation would collapse and break.
In contrast, if one had followed the Auror's advice and tried to become invisible from the beginning, at least one person might have been able to survive!
Yes, even if Hermione finds it difficult to accept that "only she survives", it is much better than everyone sacrificing, isn't it
It's a pity that it's impossible for her to change her mind now - for now, those guys who hide in the fog and make frequent raids must be watching each of them closely. In this case, the Immortal Yin Potion will inevitably fail to take effect.
As for when the rescue from Spiral Town will appear, it just depends on luck.
"Hula-"
Suddenly, the sound of something flying quickly through the mist sounded again, and then another black claw suddenly came out and hit the barrier with a "bang".
"Crack."
A cracking sound that was extremely slight compared to the impact immediately passed by Hermione's ears, but it made her scalp numb even more than the enemy's attack.
As the barrier shook violently, she couldn't help but lower her head and glance at the stone slab, and saw several fine cracks dangerously snaking past the magic inscriptions.
To be honest, I’m almost at my limit!
"Attention, the protective barrier may not be able to hold any longer... I will say 'run' after a while, and we will immediately each take a wounded person and run forward! Do you understand?"
Hermione's whispered reminder did not receive an immediate response from the other volunteer. She paused, then turned her head and touched the other person lightly.
"W-what?"
Looking at the other party's extremely stiff expression, Hermione couldn't help but pursed her lips - she had experienced being unable to hear sounds due to mental stress before, so she could naturally understand the other party's current state.
But if it continues like this, the other party will probably lose her life immediately, not to mention escaping with a wounded person.
Hermione was thinking this, when suddenly, another sharp claw suddenly hit the barrier... As several stone slabs trembled again, the protection of the entire formation became precarious.
"Cheer up! Please don't give up until the last moment!"
The moment Hermione said these words, the confused volunteer saw Hermione point the wand in her hand to the ground, and then heard a violent "boom" and an explosion. The dust completely covered her remaining vision.
And it was during those few seconds when she couldn't see anything that the volunteer felt something grab her shoulder, which made her tremble all over.
"Don't be afraid! It's me... drink this, then don't worry about anything and run forward immediately!"
This volunteer was the young witch who had chatted with Hermione on many topics before, and the two got along pretty well during this time. Perhaps it was because she had already regarded Hermione as a friend that when the separation incident occurred, she made up her mind to stay and helped Hermione along the way.
But it was obvious that not only did she regard Hermione as a friend, but Hermione also regarded her as her good friend. Watching her friend die, Hermione felt that she simply couldn't do it, no matter how many reasons she had.
"call-"
When she couldn't see her fingers, a familiar sound of wind passed by Hermione's ears.
"run!"
Under her push, the opponent who had just been poured a bottle of magic potion subconsciously ran according to her words with a strange smell and mud mixed in.
After running for a while, the other party finally realized what had just happened, and his pace involuntarily slowed down.
However, Hermione in the distance seemed to know this and shouted at the top of her lungs again.
"Run! Don't stop! Keep running forward—"
"hateful!"
Knowing that Hermione's determination must not be in vain, the other party finally gritted his teeth and accelerated his running speed again. Under the influence of the Immortal Hidden Potion, he became invisible and escaped from this place where monsters gathered.
…
"It's really the kind of living corpse that can fly!"
With the sound of cracking stone slabs, Hermione hurriedly threw herself on the ground next to her, and then immediately looked up.
Although it was only for a moment, she still recognized the shape of the black shadow that passed by her.
What she had seen with Lupine was that Charlie had drawn a part of the appearance of the alienated living corpse. Among them, the flying type that Charlie had fought on while riding the fire dragon Norbert was exactly like that!
However, just knowing what the enemy is doesn't give Hermione much peace of mind.
Needless to say, although Hermione had given away the only bottle of Immortal Hidden Potion to someone else, this did not mean that she was planning to wait here to die.
Just like what she said just now, you can never give up until the last moment.
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Her Patronus Charm was far less powerful than Neville's, and of course, it was far behind Harry who had practiced it to death. However, if it is only used to attract the attention of some enemies, it is still more than enough.
The next second, in a cloud of light mist, a silver-white rabbit jumped out of it. After circling around in a circle, it quickly ran out into the distance.
At the same time, Hermione immediately ran decisively in the opposite direction.
