Hermione had overestimated her abilities before, but now, everyone present, including Harry himself, underestimated the true power of Gryffindor's sword.
A few minutes passed, and the fragmented corpses of a large number of living corpses piled up like a sea. Such a hellish scene could no longer surprise Hermione and others who had experienced several waves of living corpses. Only the lonely figure holding a sharp sword upside down and standing in the sea of blood among the mountains of corpses was the reason why everyone was stunned.
"laugh."
"Crack."
Suddenly, the sword of Gryffindor slipped from the exhausted Harry's hand and stuck diagonally on the ground. And then, Harry himself suddenly went dark and fell down helplessly.
"Harry!"
Ginny, who finally came to her senses, ignored the surviving zombies crawling on the ground around her and immediately rushed out of the formation barrier and ran towards the place where Harry fell.
"Come on, let's go too." Hermione greeted, and then she followed with the others, "Neville, summon the Patronus and prepare to leave with Harry!"
Even though Harry and the Sword of Gryffindor had just exerted their power, they almost killed all the living corpses nearby that could threaten everyone. But not long after, many enemies quickly gathered around the perimeter.
"Okay, I... I'll try."
As one of the four people who had just used the power of the rules of empathy to support Harry, Neville's mental power was also consumed a lot. Although he wouldn't faint on the spot like Harry did, he didn't have much confidence in casting the Patronus Charm immediately, which was also very expensive.
"Don't worry, if that doesn't work, you can still use a broom."
Hermione was obviously aware of this, so she subconsciously added.
While the two were talking, Ginny, who was running at the front, desperately picked up Harry who was unconscious on the ground, even though Harry at this time looked like he had just been fished out of a pool of old blood. It came as usual, covered in black and red mud.
"Harry..."
She trembled slightly and called softly, but unfortunately there was no response.
"Harry is fine," suddenly, Luna reminded gently from the side, "I can feel it, he just fainted temporarily... he will be fine."
"Calling God to Protect—"
Neville waved his wand, only to see a puff of light spraying out from the tip of his wand, and then he shook his head apologetically at Hermione.
It was only then that Ginny, who had received Luna's personal assurance, remembered to look around, and then hurriedly took out her broomstick.
"It's okay, Neville, I'll take him."
However, perhaps due to the urgency of the moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten something.
"careful!"
Luna, who suddenly noticed something, turned around suddenly, grabbed Ginny who was completely unresponsive, and released a dazzling light with her wand. At the same time, everyone finally saw a black blade protruding directly from Harry's shadow, just shy of piercing Ginny's waist.
"Fluorescence."
Others also hurriedly waved their magic wands to drive away all the remaining shadows, and then they all showed frightened expressions after realizing it.
"Let's go! Maintain the glowing spell and get on your way immediately!"
Hermione hurriedly helped Ginny get Harry onto the broom, and then everyone took off into the air at the same time, flying straight to the east.
However, the rest of the journey is obviously still full of dangers.
…
According to legend, the sharp blade engraved with the rules of anger contains enough power to kill an ancient dragon. If Harry could truly fully control its power, it would make Halberd, who has the body of a demon, fearful.
Such a powerful magic weapon is definitely overkill when used to deal with these living corpses.
However, regardless of whether this is "overkill" or "lack of ability", Harry's power is obviously indispensable to Hermione and her team.
After continuing to advance for a while, the number of living corpses around them surged again. The increasingly dense enemy groups ahead forced the team to slow down again.
"Hermione, what should we do? If this continues, we will be back to the previous situation... This time, we won't have Harry's help."
As Neville spoke, he tried his best to summon his Patronus, but failed.
On the other side, Hermione gritted her teeth and threw out several more rune cards, pulling more flying zombies to the ground, and then said loudly out of necessity:
"Retreat! Retreat first, we—"
She didn't give up, because this action was a decision she made under Luna's persuasion and abandoned her rationality. If she gave up now, what else could she use as inner persistence in the future
In today's period of rampant disasters, people without persistence cannot stand on the front line, and for her, those days may be more terrifying than death.
Therefore, she did not give up, because she had another option—to go to the ancient city of Winchester via the waterway that had been temporarily shelved at the beginning.
However, before she could finish speaking, Luna on the side suddenly pulled the broom handle, causing herself to climb up a certain height. Then, she turned her head and looked in a certain direction to the north, showing a slightly confused expression.
"Luna, come down quickly, be careful of enemies..." Hermione hurriedly followed and pulled her down first, "What did you find over there?"
"It's a familiar feeling," Luna said, still looking over there, a little confused, "Someone is approaching - such a big group of people! And... it seems very powerful!"
"Familiar? Who is he?"
After everyone heard this, they were all stunned - Luna's sensing ability is now universally recognized by everyone. If she said someone was approaching, it must be right.
"How about it," Ron looked at Hermione and said, "Do you want to wait and see? Maybe... it's Maka's person."
It is indeed not that far from Winchester. If the group of zombies hadn't been too dense, Hermione wouldn't have wanted to evacuate just now.
It's just...who the person is, this is a question that must be carefully considered.
"No, no wait, let's retreat!" Hermione frowned, "If we find something wrong by then, we won't be able to escape even if we want to in this situation."
Impulse and obsession may create miracles, but more often than not they only bring sorrow and death. Should we say that Hermione's temperament is inherently more rational? In short, as long as she can calm down and think, her decision will usually not be a big mistake.
"good!"
Everyone responded, and immediately stopped paying attention to the north. They all focused on dealing with the enemy, turning around and retreating to the south.
Only Luna would still glance over there from time to time, obviously caring very much.
