It has to be said that the rune array that Hermione, Ginny, Hannah and others arranged when establishing this huge stronghold this time seems to be the most complex array she has designed so far. Moreover, it is also the first masterpiece that Hermione has tried her best to complete since she began to study the ancient magical literature in depth with Maka.
The entire formation starts from the core part. By referring to the ancient magic formation that Maka took out for her and Luna to learn when they were learning the rule runes on the island, as well as some of Maka's own research results, the main body of the formation is reasonably and relatively designed. More efficient arrangement.
Since this set of diagrams is a composite formation, if the combination of several magic texts needed by Hermione cannot be supplemented with the correct structure, collapse due to imbalance will become an inevitable result.
After designing these most critical parts, the only remaining part is naturally the output part, which is no longer difficult.
Combined with the construction of the stronghold itself, Hermione, who was inspired by the wizard tower on Rowena's island, built this composite array-style output sub-array into six towers standing around the stronghold.
There is no doubt that this is an initiative that even Maka has never tried, and it is also proof that Hermione and the others are determined to nail themselves to this land of disaster.
As for the effect of this large formation... of course it is the silver barrier that is currently replacing Sarah's alchemy barrier, blocking the living corpses and protecting everyone.
However, since it is said that this is a composite formation, its effect will naturally not be the only one.
At this moment, three of the six magic towers around the stronghold began to roar like the three lions that had just awakened, towards the enemies around them.
"attack!"
After listening to the reports from the two wizards who rushed back one after another, Hermione stood still for a moment, then no longer hesitated and waved her hand forward.
The next moment, the east tower where Hermione was located was the first to be shaken, and then the volunteer wizards who were casting spells at the boundary line below immediately discovered that the first thing that was activated according to the planning process was a large row of gravity traps.
These gravity traps were originally only placed within Sarah's alchemical barrier, but now, the alchemical barrier has been lifted and disappeared, and a second barrier with a slightly smaller range immediately replaced it.
As a result, these gravity traps produced their intended effect, pressing a large number of living corpses to the ground.
But reaching this step is obviously far from over, or it can even be said that this is just the beginning - when many living corpses were pulled to the ground by the sudden increase in gravity, it was seen that there were more runes or symbols on the outer wall of the tower. It was the magic text that gradually glowed with magic spells, and spells that were obviously similar to the Thunderbolt Explosion Curse began to pour out towards the group of living corpses outside the silver barrier.
"Boom, boom, boom--"
Not long after, only bursts of roars and explosions were heard from the east tower. And soon, the other two magic towers in the south and north gradually joined the ferocious wave of counterattacks.
…
"here we go."
When Hermione announced her counterattack, Ron, who was in the living room of the Burrow and heard the roar outside, couldn't help but look out the window a few more times.
"Speaking of which... this new protective barrier looks so beautiful!" He looked out the window and sighed casually, then turned his head and glanced into the room again and said, "Luna, don't you think so?"
Yes, just now, Luna came back from outside again.
"Well," she just glanced at the window, and then responded absently, "it's quite beautiful."
Naturally, Ron had already noticed that Luna seemed to be thinking about something. She just shook her head slightly and did not disturb her again.
And it wasn't until a moment later, when Ron felt that the silence in the living room seemed to have become even colder amid the noisy fighting outside, that he finally continued to speak as if he had nothing to say:
"Luna, how long do you think we can stay here this time?"
Although the question was asked casually, it can be seen from this sentence that he asked this question seriously.
To be honest, the former Weymouth Camp served as a warning, and with the invasion of the living zombies this time, there was clearly a demon controlling the situation behind the scenes.
Although everyone has put a lot of effort into establishing this stronghold, no one can be 100% sure whether it can be defended or not.
Once they can't hold on, all the efforts they have made during this period will be in vain.
"Huh?" After hearing Ron ask this, Luna came back to her senses slightly, tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's just that this time, I think I can hold it! I don't know where the devil is." I'm looking for it, but I still have a vague sense of its approximate strength - it's indeed very powerful, but we still have Delphi and Safina here! Don't we?"
"Well," Ron nodded and said, "That's good... In this case, Percy won't be disappointed, right? The only way to be disappointed is for me -"
Perhaps because he felt that it was too frustrating to say this, he did not continue and stopped in the middle.
On the other side, Luna glanced in his direction, then smiled and said:
"You haven't done a lot so far, haven't you?"
"No, it's not enough," Ron shook his head, "It's far from enough... I'm just telling you this! In fact, I have been thinking about leaving the stronghold... If there are more battles that have to be fought If so, can I gradually become more powerful?"
After gradually getting used to Luna's temperament, many people were actually happy to talk to her. Because, she may not be a qualified conversation partner, but she is definitely the most suitable listener - of course, the premise must be to learn to ignore her strange remarks that pop up from time to time.
"Growing up while being beaten?" Luna couldn't help but wonder curiously after hearing this, "It seems to make sense."
But at this moment, Ron quickly waved his hand to Luna and said:
"Oh, no, no, no, I'm just talking nonsense, don't think too much... In fact, compared to the most direct combat strength, I probably still yearn for the feeling of having enough wisdom. And now... maybe I already have some You’re so clever!”
As he said this, he looked outside again.
It can be seen that under the gloomy lead-gray clouds, there are more and more magic spells, so that the radiance of magic almost reflects on the clouds above the head.
