"Why did you stop?"
Maka stood in front of Alexander while carrying the motionless Enns. While using Enns' body as a shield, she questioned Alexander.
To be honest, this scene looks a bit strange - this is probably the first time since ancient times that one has taken one's friends as hostages and behaved so confidently.
But Maka felt more and more convinced about this, so he even provoked the other party loudly.
"Why don't you take action?" He said to Alexander, who was just around the corner. "You also know that I have lost my original strength now. Let alone using magic to fight you, I can even use some ordinary defensive spells. No! You only need to wave the cane in your hand, and I will definitely be killed easily by you - so, what are you waiting for?"
While Maka said this, she just blocked Enns in front of her. As he said, as long as Alexander is willing, such a "human shield" cannot stop the powerful spell he releases with his snake staff.
However, after some inference, Maka realized that the seemingly unscrupulous "Alexander" in front of her might not dare to do that.
because…
"Alexander... no, maybe I should call you 'Ens'?"
After Maka's repeated stimulation, "Alexander" had obviously reached the limit of his patience, but even so, the latter still did not dare to act rashly.
Obviously, Maka's guess was correct. Alexander was now controlled by Enns' half of his soul that contained evil thoughts.
Since Enns still has the other half of his soul in his body, no matter how crazy the other party is, he doesn't dare to attack "him".
Unless he really doesn't want to die!
You must know that his soul was only split by Haierbo through part of the method of making a Horcrux, and he did not even actually make the other half of his soul into a Horcrux. In this state, if he really made a move on his "other self", all that awaited him would be death together.
"McLean," at this moment, Alexander stared at Maka and said in an extremely annoyed voice, "So what if you find out - I can't do anything to him, but you can do something to me. Did you take action? No, you won't even take action on 'him'!"
Maka knew that the "him" the other party was referring to was Enns, whom he used as a shield. And he had to admit that, as the other party said, he really couldn't hurt either Enns or Alexander.
Therefore, this time, Maka did not speak.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped speaking, "Alexander" across from him didn't know what was wrong, but became even more irritable.
"McLean! I have to admit that even if you no longer have the terrifying strength you once had, I still don't dare to underestimate you. So... Haierbo originally gave me other tasks, but I think It's probably impossible for me to complete it. Therefore, I just hope you can let me leave... Well, of course, if I want to leave now, you can't stop me."
At this point, the other party didn't wait for Maka to answer anything, and carefully retreated towards the door step by step.
Harry and the other three people on the side looked at "Alexander"'s retreating figure. They seemed not to know what to do for a moment, so they all turned their heads and looked over subconsciously.
"...Maka?" Harry couldn't help but call out softly.
However, Maka shook her head first, and then said to "Alexander" who had retreated to the door:
"I can let you go, but... you just said, what other tasks did Haierbo give you? Tell me, what does he want you to do?"
Before he finished speaking, the other party who had already put his hand on the door handle paused slightly and then opened the door.
"He wants me to steal a stone box from you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door, ducked, and quickly slipped out of the room.
"Maka, do you want to... chase?" Hermione asked hesitantly.
However, after hearing the last words left by the other party, Maka had already fallen into deep thought. He did not answer Hermione's question immediately, but waved his hand gently after a moment.
"Don't worry, he can't leave the island - don't underestimate Alexander."
…
Let's move forward a little and go back to the moment when Luna pointed her hand at the wall.
To be honest, at that moment, Alexander never imagined that he would be taken away from control of his body by an inexplicable force.
When Luna's finger passed through the air and finally landed on his side, he was suddenly startled.
It's a pity that he didn't have time to react at that time, and his vision immediately went dark and he couldn't see anything. Only when he was concentrating, he could vaguely "hear" some sounds that seemed to be coming from a distant place - it seemed like Maka and the others were talking.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Since the only one who could obtain information was that voice, he could only concentrate as much as possible and listen carefully. It wasn't until "Enns" who forcibly took over his body left the room that he roughly understood what kind of state he might be in right now.
"Is it... Enns?"
Although there are still many things that he has not yet figured out, but when he thought that the person who broke into his body and turned against the guests was probably Enns, he immediately couldn't help but "shouted" in the endless darkness:
"Enns! Come out! You robbed my body, aren't you going to give me an explanation—"
Alexander didn't know if the other party could hear what he said, but other than that, he seemed to have no other way to communicate with the other party. Therefore, he could only yell here as hard as possible, trying to convey his thoughts to Enns who was controlling his body to escape from the Wizard Tower.
But he obviously didn't know yet that although "Enns" had never responded to her, his "voice"... or "thought" could be clearly transmitted to Enns.
While running fast, Enns felt that Alexander's voice was constantly echoing in his mind, making him feel restless and restless.
Finally, as Alexander persisted in "shouting", Enns said in his heart with great annoyance:
"Shut up!"
Enns' figure instantly exploded in the darkness where Alexander was, shocking the latter.
"Hey! So you can hear it-" Alexander couldn't help but be surprised.
