As this defensive battle continued, two hours had passed.
Thanks to the counterattack of the rune array in the stronghold and the coordinated fighting by Delphi and the other three people outside the stronghold, a large number of living corpses had gradually accumulated outside the magic barrier that exuded a faint silver glow.
However, this time the army of zombies was not only large in number, but also became quite difficult to deal with under the control of "Arrogance". It can be said that judging from the current battle situation, perhaps this battle has just begun.
However, these living corpses are of course tireless, but Delphi, Harry and Blois will always get tired if they continue to fight fiercely outside.
Especially Harry, compared to the other two, he is only good at close combat. As long as he holds the Sword of Gryffindor in his hand, his current combat effectiveness will at least not be weaker than Mr. Blois.
But this time, facing this extremely large group of enemies who would almost certainly choose to self-destruct before losing their ability to fight, he was really at a loss.
Even if he could go all out and take the risk to activate the true power of Gryffindor's sword like he did against the giant demon last time, it would be impossible to kill all this army of living zombies in a short period of time. What's more, behind these living corpses, there is a demon secretly watching everyone.
Harry also knew very well that this defensive battle would not end in a short while.
Therefore, Harry fought very hard, and he was also the most tired among the three people at the moment.
"laugh-"
When the bright sharp blade suddenly passed between the neck of a living corpse, Harry, who was leaning over and half hanging on the Firebolt, immediately used force to pull his body back to the broom, and immediately pulled it up The broomstick was raised dozens of feet.
The next moment, a "boom" was heard below, followed by the impact of airflow and an extremely uncomfortable cold feeling.
He no longer had to look back, because he knew that there would be a black flame rising there at this moment. This thing that looked similar to Safina's black flame was obviously different from ordinary flames. A deep chill seemed to touch my soul.
You can have this feeling without actually touching it. As you can imagine, it would be no joke if you were really burned.
"Huh...huh..."
After controlling the broom to fly parallel to the ground again, Harry, who had just breathlessly dived, gasped a few times. There was no way, although he had unusual talent in Quidditch, but now he was fighting after all, and after nearly two hours of non-stop fighting, he was already deeply exhausted.
but…
"Crack-"
Another piece of pure white cold air quickly floated down from the air and landed on a large group of living corpses not far away. In an instant, the movements of those living corpses slowed down, and they were even completely frozen into ice sculptures. When Harry saw it, he was impressed by Delphi's power, but he was also a little unwilling to do so.
Therefore, even if he is really tired, he still has to choose to continue fighting - at least not to hold back the other two.
So, when he saw Mr. Blois on the other side controlling a flame dragon to spit out flames, he immediately swooped down again.
Even with his current fighting style, he could chop down two or three living corpses at most with one sword. But at least one less enemy is killed. As long as each less living corpse rushes to the protective barrier, it can reduce the pressure on the stronghold's protective barrier.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, Harry suddenly felt a chaotic air current above his head suddenly pressing down. He hurriedly looked up and saw that Delphi was driving her ice bird flying towards him.
Seeing this, Harry quickly moved the broom handle to the side, drew an arc in mid-air, and went around Delphi who was standing on the back of the ice bird.
"Is there a problem?"
Although there was a look of tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed, he still held the sword upside down and asked firmly.
"It's been almost two hours. Miss Granger just gave us a signal that we can leave the battlefield here and take a rest - Miss Geophyn and Mr. Longbottom have already joined the stronghold's counterattack."
"Have they rested?"
Harry looked back, and sure enough he saw a figure covered in black flames flying up from the platform at the top of the east tower. Although it did not come out of the barrier, it had already begun to spray a large amount of souls outside. flame.
Since the rune array designed by Hermione cannot be controlled very finely like Sarah's alchemical barrier, once it is activated, people will definitely not be able to get in or out.
Fortunately, the curse magic inside can be penetrated without any obstacles. This is one of its advantages compared to the alchemical barrier.
It can be seen that the counterattack in the stronghold is still going on, and the roar of explosive spells is still continuous and loud.
"But..." After seeing the scene, he turned around again, looked at Delphi and said, "But you and Mr. Blois still seem to have some energy left, so why not just hold on for a while! Hermione before I also said that the second barrier should be maintained as long as possible - there are too many enemies!"
However, Delphi just stared at his face and shook his head.
"I can indeed continue, and Mr. Blois should be fine too - summoning is more suitable for such a long-term battle. But Mr. Potter, you need to rest."
"It's okay for me too!" Upon hearing this, Harry quickly raised the sword in his right hand, shook it, and said loudly, "Don't worry, I'm not tired yet."
However, his fatigue could not be hidden from Delphi's eyes. Just after he finished speaking, he saw the latter insisting and shaking his head again.
"Mr. Potter, you have to understand your value to this battle." Delphi reminded calmly, "The devil hiding in the dark may appear at any time, and your most important task is to preserve your energy. , when the time comes, block it, and defeat it as much as possible with the cooperation of Mr. Blois and I! Neither I nor his ability to damage demons is as strong as your sword, understand - think about that big guy before '."
Although Harry hoped to kill more enemies, he had to admit that Delphi was obviously right. After being persuaded by the other party, he had no choice but to take another look at the group of living corpses below, then flicked the broom handle and suddenly turned towards the west side of the stronghold.
The stronghold is temporarily inaccessible, and seeing that there are the least number of living corpses there, they should be able to find a place to rest for a while.
At the same time, Bulova who was behind saw the two of them planning to leave, and immediately caught up with them - he only left his flame flying dragon here.
