"Avada Kedavra-"
A pale green arc of light flashed behind the house, but what followed was a series of roars, which at first sounded either low or high-pitched, one after another very frightening.
Even when he heard the voice chanting the curse, he felt familiar. He knew that he must have met that person somewhere based on his memory, and for a while, Sirius did not dare to approach easily.
In this hellish place, it can be said that he is walking on the edge of death every step of the way. How dare he take risks casually when he has such a heavy responsibility
However, since the other party is most likely an acquaintance, Sirius's temperament will naturally not leave him behind like this. He wanted to see who the unlucky guy he encountered at this time and place would be.
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
"boom-"
As the unknown wizard across the house recited the spell clearly again, a powerful explosion spell suddenly exploded on the other side. When bricks and stones were flying and smoke and dust were rising, Sirius, who was hiding in the trees on the side of the road, saw a lowered figure suddenly emerge from the collapsing old alley not far away, and then he didn't even think about it. He sprinted along the street towards the opposite end of the street from where Sirius was.
Of course, it was impossible for that man to detect Sirius's presence. Even though the closest distance between the two was less than twenty feet, he knew that his explosive spell could only barely block the group of vicious living corpses. , not to mention there are more enemies around.
The moment he rushed out of the alley, he didn't even have the time to look back!
"Damn it... If I had known better, I shouldn't have listened to that guy Brandt's nonsense and come here. It's much safer to go anywhere than to stay here in Germany... Damn it... Damn it!"
The figure was running fast while muttering and complaining, probably trying to stabilize his mind at this critical moment.
After a few complaints, he saw him holding the wand in his hand while running and pulling it on himself. Sirius, who was looking at him from a distance, noticed that this guy's figure suddenly blurred.
It's the Illusion Body Curse!
"Tsk."
Sirius smacked his lips impatiently - the other party didn't know it, but he knew that concealment spells like the Disguise Curse would not have much effect on living corpses, especially when they were already being targeted by those guys. Down. But the Disguise Curse, which is useless against living corpses, can work normally on a human like him. In this case, it will only make his follow-up plan more difficult.
After taking a final glance at the alley where the other party had just slipped out, and seeing that the living corpse behind the house that had been blocked by the explosion spell was showing signs of protruding, he turned his head and headed towards another alley across the street. Plunged in.
It was true that he wanted to catch up with the person who had disappeared, but he didn't want to let himself be used as a bait for others to prevent disaster for no reason. He walked around here to see if he could guess the other party's escape route. If he couldn't intercept it, If you meet someone, forget it.
Fortunately, those living corpses had already focused on the wizard just now, and their interest in his "big black dog" was obviously much lower. As long as he avoids it in advance and doesn't wander around in front of living corpses, those crazy beast-like guys will probably not follow him.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Sirius, who had already rushed into the dirty alley, heard a howl in the street outside, and they all turned around and continued to chase the wizard.
He did not stop, and even accelerated his running speed again, moving forward in this dirty and damp alley. Although the alleys were winding and winding, he almost always kept in a direction parallel to the living corpses outside, and he did not deviate at all in this unfamiliar place.
Obviously, he wanted to use the keen senses of these living corpses to keep up.
A few minutes later? Even Sirius, who had been accustomed to running wildly in his Animagus form since he was a student, was very tired from this fierce run. After all, he was already quite tired from reaching this point. .
However, the guy in front who was running desperately while being chased by the living corpses was obviously in a much worse condition than him at the moment. You know, unlike him, I can run on four legs!
"... Then I remembered, it turned out to be him!"
Sirius followed him all the way, and he did not waste the time of silently following him. He just turned over the whispered complaints he overheard from the other party's mouth several times in his heart. Combined with the rather familiar voice from before? He seemed to have already made some guesses about the other party's identity.
Of course? Regardless of whether his guess is accurate or not? Since the other party has already mentioned someone from the Brandt family, this is enough to give Sirius a reason to continue chasing.
In a situation where even the Blois family and Madame Maxime didn't know much about this second battlefield? He naturally had the need to try to get more information.
After all, on this trip, Sirius originally planned to explore the details here for the Granger camp... At least that was true at the beginning.
"Yes... I'll try my best to help you first!"
Thinking of this, Sirius, who had just been running wildly in the form of a black dog in the alley, suddenly jumped up, and then his four-legged waist suddenly expanded the moment he took off slightly, and he transformed into a human form again in the blink of an eye.
Can two-legged people run as fast as four-legged people? After recovering his body, he was obviously much slower in this winding and deep alley. How many turns did he make in a row? He couldn't keep up with the activities outside. Corpse.
Not only that? As soon as his Animagus was released, the stronger human aura immediately attracted the attention of the enemy, and more than one living corpse instinctively approached him.
But how could Sirius, whose existence was exposed at this time, not be prepared accordingly? He couldn't beat those guys, but he still had some confidence when it came to escaping.
Just as there was a commotion with more and more living corpses on the street outside, Sirius took out a rough-looking wooden doll from his arms without saying a word and threw it away.
"Copy in pairs."
When he flicked his wand and pointed back his hand, silently reciting a copying spell, the puppet immediately began to split into two and then into four, jumping around more and more, and even let go and ran around. got up.
"I hope that guy from South Africa didn't lie to me! If I can fool these living corpses for a while, the Galleons I spent will be worth it."
With such muttering, he did not slow down anymore and continued to move forward without looking back.
