Most of the unlit torches were leaping into azure flames one after another at this time, gradually pushing away the darkness that originally shrouded the hall and replacing it with soft light.
After holding a torch and lighting these torches one by one, the living corpse boy returned to the steps. After doing all this, he nodded slightly to his sister who was standing beside the throne at the top of the high stairs, then turned around and stood silently again.
However, no one would care about the tacit understanding shown by these zombie twins at the moment. Because when the light in the hall gradually dissipated the previous shadows, and when the throne on the high platform was finally no longer hazy and difficult to distinguish, the attention of Hermione, Lupine and others gathered in the center of the hall were suddenly attracted to it, and they were no longer able to distinguish it. No time to distract him.
Of course, everyone first saw the tall and strong black figure sitting firmly on the throne - even the bright light emitted by the wall-mounted torches that were all lit up and suspected of being Gubrai's fairy fire could not make it. His dark body became a bit lighter.
In contrast to the bright environment at the moment, just sitting there became more and more like a bottomless abyss, as if he wanted to swallow everyone's sight into it.
On his left side, it is the zombie girl who has become more and more familiar with everyone recently. As the actual leader who is currently only under the master, the master of the zombies who just stepped aside, and He Min and others had a conversation.
In addition, there are some figures that no one noticed at first.
At first, the hall was so dark that the human wizards under the stairs did not see a row of high-level living corpses standing diagonally behind the throne on both sides, leaning against the wall. Some of these high-level zombies have been seen by everyone before, and some have even fought side by side on the battlefield to kill demons several times before, but some of them are relatively unfamiliar faces.
But now, these high-level zombies of different heights, appearances and abilities are all standing silently behind their "king", and no one knows what they are thinking.
Of course, no matter how intriguing the scene that suddenly appeared in front of everyone was, it was probably not as interesting as the last figure in front of the throne.
That should be a figure lying at the feet of the Lord of the Living Corpses - the reason why I say "should" is because the figure looks very distorted. It is not easy to see at first glance, so maybe it is still A humanoid creature.
But Hermione and others quickly identified it. Isn't that the demon that no one has seen since this time - Gluttony
Originally, when Hermione and the others heard that the demon Gluttony had been found, they thought that another battle was about to begin! Judging from the information everyone has about gluttony, it will probably be a very difficult battle, but no one expected that this expected battle would be over before it even started.
As for "that ball" of motionless figures lying on the ground, let alone fighting, Harry, who was carefully looking at the opponent at this moment, was not sure whether "that thing" was still alive.
And while most of the wizards in the center of the hall were in deep contemplation, the zombie girl next to the throne finally spoke again...
"Miss Granger... Of course, there is also Mr. Potter. I believe you have seen that this is the demon 'Gluttony'. At this moment, it has surrendered at the feet of its master and can no longer threaten you and me!" Then, I will leave the honor of killing it to you on behalf of the master."
Demons are the natural enemies of the living zombies. This is something Hermione and others already knew when they agreed to cooperate with the latter. It is precisely because they are unable to confront demons and cannot kill each other that they directly promote the alliance between the living zombies and a group of elite wizards headed by Hermione.
At this moment, everyone saw that Gluttony had become such a miserable appearance, but it still seemed that it was not completely destroyed. They had to wait for them to deal the final blow, which proved that this should be correct.
Hermione looked at the demon Gluttony sitting in a puddle, and then at the Lord of the Living Corpses on the throne who had not opened his mouth so far tonight, and seemed to have thought of something. However, after a moment of hesitation, she turned around and nodded to Harry who was not far away, and said softly:
"Hold your sword and let's go."
On the other side, although Harry also had some doubts in his mind, he didn't say anything more after seeing that Hermione had made a decision. After giving Hermione a firm look in return, he walked forward side by side and stepped onto the stairs leading to the throne step by step.
The living corpse boy guarding the stairs did not react much to Hermione and Harry's actions because his sister was speaking in front of him. He just glanced at the two of them lightly and continued to cast his vigilant eyes on the other people in the center of the hall. For human wizards, we no longer look at them.
The footsteps of Hermione and Harry echoed softly in the quiet hall, and no one spoke anymore.
It must be said that there was something wrong with today's atmosphere from the beginning. This was something that almost everyone could feel. What's more, those high-level living corpses that usually don't come here are now there, which makes people feel even more uneasy.
But if you have to dig deeper, no one can tell what is wrong, because so far, nothing seems abnormal... and there seems to be no reason for abnormality.
Hermione is no longer the little witch who hesitated at critical moments in the past. In this case, she would rather trust her own decision. After all, she has already thought about the current situation countless times, hasn't she
Therefore, although her pace with Harry was not very fast, they did not pause for a step. Soon, the two of them reached the end of the stairs and came to the front of the throne for the first time.
At this moment, there was only the remains of the demon Gluttony between them and the Lord of the Living Corpses who was sitting firmly on the throne.
"please."
The living corpse girl was still so polite. She nodded gently towards Hermione and Harry who had already stepped forward, and raised her right hand to signal to Gluttony on the ground.
Hermione didn't say anything else at this time and just glanced at Harry. When Harry saw this, he immediately stepped forward with the shining Sword of Gryffindor. The extremely sharp blade was immediately aimed at Gluttony's neck, waiting to chop off another demon's head with the sword.
However, just when Harry was about to lower his sword, a dull voice sounded in the hall, shocking everyone.
