"What's wrong? Oh, this is a stab in the stomach..."
Maka seemed to have just noticed the blood stain on the corner of her mouth, and raised her hand to wipe it casually. But when he put down his right hand, the demonic blood, as black as petroleum, slowly dripped down again, dripping from his chin to the floor, and a faint gray air rose.
Maka paid no attention to it.
"But obviously," he chuckled, "just like this, it can't kill me!"
Looking at Maka's chatting and laughing posture as if it had nothing to do with him, he said the most frightening words in the most understated tone. Not only Hermione, but many people present...even the living corpses, which were not just "human beings", all felt their breath stagnant for a moment.
Yes, Harry's sudden sword attack just now was so urgent and fast that almost everyone except Luna could not react immediately. But everyone also believed that if it were the man in front of them, he would probably be able to avoid it - even if he happened to have his back to Harry at the time.
But he didn't hide.
Was it because he suddenly realized that Luna was trying to block the sword with her body, so he couldn't dodge immediately in order to grab Luna? It's unclear, no one knows what he was thinking at that moment.
And precisely because no one knew what he was thinking now, everyone seemed extremely quiet at this moment.
Except himself.
"Hey, everyone, I thought I made it very clear." Maka seemed to suddenly become more talkative after being hit by Harry's sword, "You...or humans, the choice now is obviously no longer available. There are more - the 'New Humans', that is, the current group of living zombies in the UK, let alone the matter, at least the threat led by Hai Erbo in Germany must be faced. Now you seem to disagree My plan with Ms. Kern, to be honest, it doesn't really matter. I've never been the kind of person who has to force others to agree with me. You can do what you want, and if my plan doesn't work out, But you succeeded, which is a reasonable ending."
Having said this, Maka suddenly shrugged and then smiled:
"Oh, by the way, because of our deep friendship over the years, I can even provide you with a 'secret' information that is beneficial to you for free. Yes, this is actually obvious. Time's efforts to fight against multiple powerful demons are not in vain - in order to completely end this catastrophe in the world, killing all the demons who have descended on the world is a necessary step."
After giving such information that was no longer a secret, Maka stretched out her fingers and subconsciously rubbed the sword wound on her chest, then shook her head slightly.
Finally, he said calmly:
"Look! I've given you a chance, but you didn't grasp it well. You know, from now on, it won't be that easy to kill me... "
"Maka!"
"Harry, no!"
"Ding-"
Three voices suddenly sounded almost at the same instant.
The first sound was when Harry suddenly raised his head and spoke. The confusion and contradiction that had previously occupied his eyes were now gone, replaced by a look of determination;
The second voice was from Hermione. This time she finally noticed Harry's changes immediately, but she was still half a beat too late in taking action.
Then the third voice suddenly sounded. It was Harry throwing away all hesitation and thrusting his sword straight for the second time. Maka's extremely hard devil nails flicked on the sword, and the Gryffindor sword that was coming instantly was thrown away. Flick open with one finger.
Then the next moment, Maka made a backhand wave, and Harry felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and then he was directly knocked away by an invisible force. It wasn't until he hit the high back of the throne behind him that he stopped flying upside down and sat down on the throne.
"Harry—"
Hermione watched as Harry passed by her, but the speed was too fast. At this time, she hurriedly turned back, anxiously checking on Harry's condition. After realizing that Harry didn't seem to be too seriously injured, she felt a little relieved and looked behind her a few more times, but she probably didn't even know what the expression was on her face at this moment.
And at this moment, Lupine, Kingsley and others, who had been doing nothing, finally started to move!
"Cover! Let Harry and Hermione come over first!" Lupine just said hello, and everyone else immediately knew what was happening, and the brilliance of the magic spell shone in an instant.
Not only the two groups of wizards who came with him, but also Ginny, Neville, Ron and others also took action. The rune arm shield that once came from Maka was now used on himself. The two blue-white beams from Ginny and Ron's hands carried the power of rules and shot directly at the tall figure in the middle of the stairs.
Except for a few people such as Sarah and Safina, almost everyone launched varying degrees of attacks on Maka at this time.
In this situation, perhaps it is only from the positions where many magics are aimed that we can see that when everyone takes action together, their hearts are not as unshakable as they appear.
It's just this attack, even if it is resisted with the body of a demon, it doesn't seem to be a problem for Maka at all. In fact, he did exactly that.
The cooling regular beam released by the rune arm shield is undoubtedly the main force among the many attacks at this moment. Ginny and Ron, who have become more and more cooperative recently, both chose to attack Maka's legs. Each of them was responsible for one side. Suddenly, a thick layer of ice was plated on Maka's lower body, and the body he was standing on was also covered with ice. The ground froze together.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hermione helped Harry up on the throne and took him to use the gravity rule rune to bypass Maca and join everyone. However, Harry did not cooperate. Instead, he pushed Hermione away and limped forward again with his sword in hand.
The ice condensed by the cooling rules had now spread to Maka's chest, and even his arms hanging by his sides were frozen. However, he didn't take any immediate action. He just used his back to withstand the impact of various magics, and stared directly at Harry charging towards him again.
That was until Harry rushed to the edge of the steps.
"Crack-"
Suddenly, several cracks appeared on the surface of the frozen ice and spread quickly. Immediately afterwards, as ice crystal fragments suddenly burst out, Maka raised the devil's claw again.
But Harry didn't go down the steps anymore. Hermione, who was chasing after him, saw Harry pressing his injured chest with one hand and suddenly waving the Sword of Gryffindor in his hand. And his goal...
It wasn't Maka, but the remains of the demon "Gluttony" that was almost forgotten.
