Before I knew it, one hour of game time had passed.
The enthusiasm of the audience never diminishes, and when they occasionally see a warrior appear in everyone's sight, they will burst into enthusiastic cheers.
The Triwizard Tournament has been a friendly event to promote exchanges between the three schools since ancient times. It can be said that everyone is looking forward to the victory of the warriors of their school, but in the end, the entire competition process can be regarded as the most grand campus entertainment project.
I believe that no matter who wins the championship, students from all schools will send their heartfelt congratulations.
Dumbledore was also watching the various changes in the maze intently, with a faint smile on his face, but the pale blue eyes hidden behind the half-moon lenses shone with wisdom.
He seems to be waiting for something...
At this moment, Dumbledore moved his sight to a certain location in the maze - it was an area shrouded in fog. No one else could see what was there, but Dumbledore didn't seem to be affected by the hazy fog. Influence.
He looked at it intently, as if there was something there that was attracting his attention—he was looking at none other than Maka, who had just separated from the succubus.
It can be felt that since he entered this area shrouded in fog, the sneak attacks of the Thorns of Doom have become much more frequent.
This is nothing to Maka, but to others, it is different.
When Maka continued to penetrate deep enough, the surrounding darkness seemed to swallow up all light. Even the effect of the wand's luminous spell was suppressed to the point where it could only illuminate a small area around the body.
He had to increase his magic output to allow the light to expand to a relatively normal level.
From this point of view, it is not just "black" here, but something is constantly absorbing light. That seems to be—
"Is it the mist that is swallowing the light?" Maka raised her head and looked, but she could only see darkness.
He shook his head slightly and was about to move forward when another scream rang out.
This time the cry was so close that it seemed to be ringing in his ears. At the same time, he found that the surrounding thorn walls suddenly began to tremble violently, and the tentacles kept moving in and out of the wall, as if something big had happened.
Not long after, a hair-raising roar completely covered up the girl's screams.
"Where is it?" Maka turned her head and listened carefully, then suddenly turned her head and looked to her right rear, "This should be Fleur herself..."
Just when he was hesitating to take a look, a third voice penetrated Maka's ears among the continuous roars.
"This way! Run—"
"No, I can not-"
If Maka heard correctly, the owner of the previous voice should be Hermione.
He looked around, then shook his head.
"Let's walk in a straight line!" He murmured softly, raising the wand in his hand and pointing it at the ground where the thorn hedge was rooted.
"Shattered to pieces—maximum!" "Boom!"
Speaking of magical plants like thorns of doom, one of their major features is that their defense power is quite amazing. They are resistant to fire, explosions, sharp weapons, and magic spells. Ordinary wizards can't even use them.
Arguably, Dumbledore used them as the walls of the maze for exactly this reason.
However, no matter how strong the defense is, it has its limits. If something doesn't blow up, it must be that your explosion isn't powerful enough!
Maka's spell is not very effective against the black monsters created by Voldemort, but it does not mean that his spell is weak - just look at this extreme crushing spell, a terrible explosion that even caused the audience outside the venue to They all saw it clearly.
Even the fog nearby was blown away a lot by the explosion, and the sun faintly penetrated a little, illuminating the area a little.
Maka waved her wand casually, throwing aside a large amount of broken soil floating in front of him, and his figure suddenly appeared.
"Troll?"
Behind the thorn hedge is a large open space. When Maka waved away the dust in the sky, he first saw the giant monster trying to get up from the ground.
It was probably because it was standing too close to here and was affected by the explosion just now.
"This is quite fate..." Maka immediately remembered Hermione's voice just now.
He didn't pay too much attention to the giant monster in front of him, and glanced behind it casually, and immediately discovered that there were three other giant monsters wandering foolishly in this open space.
And right in the middle of the open space, there is a three-foot-high platform with four not-too-high stone pillars standing on it. Dreamlike light continued to flicker on the stone pillars, and a magical film enveloped the entire platform.
Just inside, you can vaguely see a petite figure sitting on the ground.
Hermione and Fleur are not here. It seems that they may have left first because they have no way to deal with these four trolls for the time being.
"Is that Fleur's sister inside?" Maka took a closer look, "... What's her name? Plus... Gabrielle?"
Now that Hermione was no longer here, he didn't need to do anything. His target was not Furong's sister, so even if she could be rescued, it would be of little significance.
Seeing that the giant monster had climbed up and was now striding towards him, he casually threw out a beam of fire, tripping the giant monster down easily again.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a sound of footsteps approaching from far away suddenly came from a passage on the opposite side.
"Don't be like this! The explosion just now is very dangerous at first sight. You have to think of countermeasures first - your sister should be very safe in there!"
Hermione's shout was faintly heard, and then a blue figure ran out of the passage.
"Gabri—"
The person who suddenly ran out was of course Beauxbatons' Fleur Delacour.
Her figure was still graceful and charming, and her long bright silver hair was tied into a ponytail, swinging playfully from side to side as she ran.
The violent running made her chest heave, but she had no intention of stopping—even if there were giant monsters eyeing her, she only had her most precious sister in her eyes.
However, trolls don't care whether you are a beauty or not. In their eyes, all moving creatures are food.
Two giant monsters simultaneously noticed the piece of meat that had just escaped and was now brought to their mouths again. They purred and roared again, raised the wooden sticks in their hands and rushed towards Fleur.
"...Maka?"
Hermione followed closely and ran out of the passage. She immediately saw Maka standing in the gap of the thorn hedge. But before her mood could continue to change, her attention was attracted by Fleur's scream again.
She dodged the first giant monster's giant stick attack, and used an obstacle spell to stop the second giant monster from advancing. She nimbly passed between the two giant monsters and arrived at the trap. On the edge of Bree's platform.
However, the magic barrier is not that easy to break. After several spells failed, Fleur discovered that she had been surrounded by three trolls at the same time!
Faced with the giant monster's continuous attacks, Furong's beauty immediately turned pale, and she didn't even have a chance to fight back. While she was dodging hastily, a swipe from a certain troll narrowly missed the back of her head, and even the ribbon binding her hair was scattered.
Her long, shining silver hair poured down like a waterfall. The silver hair that she was so proud of originally covered most of her sight at the critical moment.
"Maka, help—"
Without Hermione's reminder, three red lights flashed one after another and landed on the troll's poor little head with great accuracy. With a crash to the ground, Maka's fourth red light fell on the head of the giant monster in front of him.
Once upon a time, the boy who had to grit his teeth and use all his strength to deal with one giant monster could now easily defeat four of them in an instant. What causes such a gap, apart from extraordinary talent, is absolutely inseparable from daily diligence.
"Thank you... thank you..."
Fleur was helped up by Hermione. She nodded gratefully to Maka, and then eagerly looked back behind her.
There, her sister was trapped between the four stone pillars. But this seemingly close distance is like a chasm because of the magic barrier.
"Can you help me rescue my sister?" Furong suddenly turned around and asked with a pleading look on her face.
Maka couldn't help but frown - although he did not intend to become the champion of the Triwizard Tournament, he had no obligation to help others complete their tasks.
On the side, Hermione, who was supporting her, also showed a hint of displeasure. Obviously, she was also dissatisfied with this cheating behavior.
Especially, this stinky girl from France actually dared to put on such a pitiful expression on Maka to gain sympathy!
"No, you misunderstood... I have already lost, and I am willing to give up, but if I am taken out of the maze like this, Gabrielle will have to stay here until the end of the game..." Fleur said anxiously, "I can't take it away. My sister is left in such a dangerous place—"
"But you see, it's safe here." Hermione nodded clearly and pointed to the magic barrier.
"But-" Fleur pursed her lips and looked towards Maka again.
Maka thought for a while, then shrugged and said, "Okay, let me take a look for you."
It was not difficult to remove the magic barrier. Maka checked it left and right and found that it was just a mechanism. The correct way to pass this level is to lure the giant monster to attack the stone pillar - in other words, the stone pillar can be destroyed as long as the impact is strong enough.
He waved his wand, causing a giant stick that had fallen on the ground to levitate, and then crash into one of the stone pillars. In just one move, several obvious cracks appeared on the stone pillar.
After several consecutive impacts, as the stone pillars shattered, the magic barrier flickered on and off for a few times, and soon disappeared completely.
"Thank you!"
Fleur hugged Maka excitedly and kissed him on the cheek without thinking.
"Ahem... The French people are really passionate..."
