The army of zombies came very quickly, even faster than Maka expected... This may be due to the relationship between Harry and Blois who had forced their way all the way, or some other reason.
But it doesn't matter, after all, that guy actually knows that Maka is hiding in this area, and several high-level zombies under the other party will come around from time to time during this period. It was only a matter of time before the final target was set at Winchester Cathedral.
"Weili, just leave the battle with the living corpses to them. You don't have to go. You go back and see Ursula later. Calculate the time, she should be awake soon - just take her to the apse! She misses her That sister is almost going crazy."
Outside the door of the church, Maka, Willie, and Sarah were standing there quietly, watching a wizard rush out of the church, his whole body ignited with blazing black flames.
"Okay," Willy responded, then asked, "But... are they okay?"
"No problem," Maka nodded, "Even if Halpo comes in person, won't I still be here? Don't worry... Sarah, you can go back with Willy later! Just leave it to me outside. ”
"No," Sarah shook her head, "I can help you!"
"It's not necessary," Maka waved her hand and said, "Of course I need you to help me, but it's definitely not now - that guy Haierbo won't come this time, he just wants these living corpses to harass me. "
Before he finished speaking, several hot fireballs that were larger than a human suddenly flew from a distance. It was the lava zombie who was driven away last time who was attacking the church.
And almost at the same time when he saw those fireballs flying over here, there were several wizards wrapped in black flames in front of Maka. They jumped high without saying a word, and surprisingly used their own The body resisted the fireball.
For a moment, the flames exploded, like a rain of fire.
Maka raised her hand and pointed upward, and three magic barriers spread out above his head, Willy's and Sarah's heads, like three transparent umbrellas. Those flames fell on it and immediately disappeared into nothingness.
After blocking the fireball, the Black Flame people fell down again and continued to rush away along the street towards the outskirts of the ancient city without looking back.
They all have their own tasks, and they will only perform their own tasks. Unless they find that Maka and others are threatened, there will basically be no changes.
In this regard, Maka doesn't have a good solution for the time being.
"Oh, right!" Suddenly, Maka turned around and said as if she remembered something, "Weili, remember to ask your father not to take action easily, and don't let Haierbo know that he is here too... Otherwise, look back at that guy It is estimated that more high-level zombies will be sent over."
"Why?"
Willy was obviously a little confused, because by now, Haierbo should not be unaware of how strong Maka already is. Just sending these living corpses here, it can even be said that no matter how many they come, it will be useless.
So, will there be any difference if there is one more Blois
"Because the purpose of Haierbo sending these guys here is to 'put pressure' on me."
Maka still didn't make it clear, so Willy naturally didn't understand the meaning. But since Maka answered like this, she stopped asking further questions and just nodded lightly.
But it seems that Maka has already guessed something about Haierbo's unknown purpose.
And just as they were talking, this large-scale battle had already begun - rumbling sounds came from the distance, and the swaying firelight was vaguely visible even through the thick gray fog.
Perhaps it was because their side was still short of manpower and unable to cover a large area, so the battle line continued to shrink into the ancient city.
But Maka was obviously quite confident in the Black Flame people he had trained, and he had no intention of personally assisting them from the beginning. And it can be found that although the roar keeps getting closer, after reaching a certain distance, it is finally unable to move forward.
Only occasionally, one or two fireballs would slip through the net and fly towards the church. The few remaining Black Flames who stayed at the door jointly stopped them, but they were easily resisted and turned into a hail of fire.
Looking at it this way, the three Macca people standing on the street "holding umbrellas" seemed to be just enjoying a fireworks show, and they actually felt a bit comfortable.
"Look, I said it was okay," Maka patted Willy on the back and said softly, "Go in! It's almost time... She seems to have run to the back hall by herself now! Go back and take a look , be careful if they slip out of the back door on impulse."
"oh."
Willie nodded, then turned around and returned to the church with confidence.
"And you," Maka looked at Sarah and signaled, "Go back too! Help her get used to her new body."
After Sarah returned as instructed, Maka waved her hand slightly to remove the barrier used to block the fire rain. She folded her arms and leaned against the stone pillar next to the door, staring at the firelight of the battle not far away in a daze. .
After a moment, he didn't know what he thought of again, but he shook his head slightly and whispered: "Helpo, too, Rowena too... They all really think highly of me."
Not long after, the fighting gradually subsided, and the remaining living corpses exited the ancient city of Winchester. But they did not leave completely. Except for a few high-level living zombies, other individuals including some evolved individuals also stayed outside the city, wandering aimlessly.
Most of the Black Flames who had received Maka's instructions before the battle started began to pursue them at this time - it took a lot of time to clean up the living corpses wandering around the periphery.
This attack can be said to have "started suddenly and ended hastily." Apart from leaving a lot of "garbage" nearby that needs to be cleaned up, it seems to have no meaning at all.
From the perspective of others, this would simply be an inexplicable battle.
But Maka knew that similar raids would definitely happen again, and the deeper meaning was probably only understood by him at the moment.
When the ancient city area returned to calm and some of the Black Flames who had not gone out to clean up the battlefield returned one after another, Maka straightened up, turned around and walked into the open church door.
"…Ahem."
When he entered, he covered his mouth and coughed twice without letting anyone notice.
"Just a little while longer... Just a little while longer... Just in case, there is still someone I have to meet with to avoid anything going wrong."
Maka muttered.
