"You know what? I don't like people threatening me."
Haierbo's words brought this short conversation to an end. Because the next second he finished speaking, the man under the throne felt a strong wind blowing through his body, and then his vision went dark, and he bid farewell to this world completely.
It wasn't until the next moment that the sturdy living corpse that had been standing behind him slowly retracted its right fist, which was already stained with blood, and allowed its headless body to fall on the open space in front of the throne.
And all of this is just the result of Haierbo's thoughts.
"...Especially when this threat comes from an incompetent person."
After the other party died, he added one more sentence, and then took a deep breath at the corpse below. Immediately, an invisible remnant soul flew out from the corpse and went straight into his mouth and nose.
After a moment, Haierbo waved his hand and watched the living corpse leaving the hall with the man's headless body in one hand. Then he thought to himself:
"Hostage...? That's fine, at least I can force him a little longer..."
As soon as he finished speaking, two of the two rows of high-level zombies that had been standing motionless below finally started to move. After they both came out of the queue, they turned around and walked through the hall, leaving from the door without looking back.
…
Inside and outside the mist, there are naturally two worlds. People outside had no idea that Herbo had returned to London and even occupied Buckingham Palace, turning it into his stronghold.
Of course, let alone other people, even Maka would not be able to know the changes without seeing it with his own eyes. As for why Haierbo suddenly set up a stronghold and did not continue to invade and expand, this is probably something that you may not know even if you look at it.
That guy Haierbo, his actions have always been weird and unpredictable. There are almost no people in the world who can really see through his thoughts.
"dangerous."
At this moment, there happened to be someone trying to figure out Haierbo's thoughts.
"But where does this danger come from?"
In a room deep in the Norwegian Royal Palace, the young prophet Ursula's keen intuition suddenly felt a chill. She knew that this was undoubtedly a symbol of an impending fatal crisis.
However, this intuition is a prediction of Feibi, and Ursula's feeling cannot be confirmed every time. But these were troubled times, so to be on the safe side, she immediately called the black-robed wizard who had been guarding outside with a soft shout, and then she said:
"Get ready, let's go."
Ursula and her sister Safina came here this time mainly to deal with the matter between the British prince and the old bishop Davidson, in order to change the predicted disaster. Now that what needs to be done has been done, Safina has gone to do the next important thing, so naturally she can leave at any time.
"...Take that Davidson." She finally added inside the curtain.
Obviously, no matter how clear the prophecy is, she does not know that the problem is not whether the prince will inherit the throne at all, nor does she know that old Davidson is completely a "lead".
Not long after, Ursula and a group of men in black robes left the palace with the old bishop without alerting anyone in the Norwegian royal family.
It was not until the early morning of that day that Safina, who was still waiting for Maka to appear near Chateau Blois in France, received the news that Ursula had returned to the organization.
At the same time, on the island in the Mediterranean, in Rowena’s wizard tower—
"Have you put on the necklace yet? Harry, don't worry, there is still time... to adjust it properly."
Maka watched as Ron, Ginny, Hannah, Neville and Harry all wore the necklaces he made on their chests. The "empathy" runes carved by Luna on the pendants shone brightly. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
Using this method of "sharing spiritual power" to forcefully break through the Gryffindor Sword Trial is actually a bit "crooked", but there is no other way. Because Harry himself may be able to pass the test with his own willpower in the future, but it is indeed difficult to do so in a short period of time.
However, even if Harry takes a shortcut this time, Maka is sure that he can successfully use the power of Gryffindor's sword in the future.
Because as long as the five of them are together and the spiritual connection is maintained with Luna's empathy rune, Harry will be able to avoid being eroded by the "rage" rule, thereby avoiding the backlash.
Of course, the premise is that Harry can really pass this test in one go. Although Maka didn't say anything because she was worried that Harry would be under too much pressure, in reality he could only start one more trial for him.
If he uses the soul rules too much, the balance in his body may collapse on the spot.
"Are you all ready?"
After a few more minutes, Maka looked back and forth at the expressions of the five people. Seeing that everyone nodded towards her, she gestured to Harry:
"Take up the Sword of Gryffindor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Harry gritted his teeth and held the hilt of the sword with a serious face. And then, Maka put her hand on his shoulder just like last time.
Suddenly, everyone felt their consciousness suddenly shaken. Luna on the side had already activated the rune on the pendant for them.
What does that feel like? Obviously no one spoke, but everyone could vaguely feel what the other four were thinking... To be honest, if they weren't all close friends with no secrets from each other, such a state of spiritual connection would actually be... It's hard to accept.
"Concentrate, don't think too much."
Although Maka was not part of the chain of empathy rules, he could still detect that the five people's minds were temporarily confused. However, they had contacted each other several times before. Under Maka's reminder, everyone quickly held their breath and concentrated on preparing for the next test.
"Then it begins."
Repeated reminders will only make people lose their attention gradually. Maka, who knew this well, did not say anything more, but even with the power of the soul rules, she once again forcibly triggered the rage rules in Gryffindor's sword.
It must be said that such violent soul power is also a big burden for him. When the two soul rules in his body are on the verge of collapse, he can only remain vigilant at all times.
Not long after, there was already a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
And it was at this moment that Harry and the other five friends suddenly felt that the whole world had suddenly come to a standstill - the last trial had finally begun!
