"boom!"
Just when Harry exclaimed, a heavy muffled sound suddenly came from the direction of the witch Kern. This sudden change once again attracted everyone's attention.
It's him"!
That figure was extremely familiar to Harry, Hermione and others present.
Although the pitch-black body has now become dilapidated, because until that moment, "he" was still nailed to the top of the deepest wall of the auditorium, motionless, and seemed to have lost his life.
Unexpectedly... It seems that even Kern didn't notice that "he" was actually "alive"! And at such a critical moment, he actually pulled out the stone spear that was nailed to his chest with his backhand, dragged the remaining body into a dive, and stabbed Kern in the back.
It's a pity that even such a quick and sudden sneak attack failed to hurt the witch Kern at all - what everyone saw at this moment was that she blocked the attack with her backhand and blocked it with one hand. A shocking sight at the tip of a gun.
It can be seen that at that moment, Kern's hand had turned into the same pitch black color.
As for the stone gun in "his" hand... it was just an ordinary stone gun held by a statue in the front hall of Hogwarts. Without magic reinforcement, how could it withstand the two? Such a powerful force hedge
At this moment, it had turned into a pile of rubble and sputtered in all directions.
"You... are not dead?"
This was the first time that Witch Kern showed a surprised expression in front of everyone, as if she had seen something incomprehensible, and she frowned slightly.
And almost at the next moment, she seemed to think of something again, and her brows frowned even more tightly.
Then Harry and Hermione discovered that almost at the same time, the green light that had been shining in the aisle beyond the door suddenly disappeared, revealing a figure in a state of embarrassment.
"Maka!"
Although he also cared about the "him" on the other side, when he saw Maka, who had just been attacked by Kern, reappeared in his field of vision, Harry was obviously more worried about the latter. Seeing this, I subconsciously wanted to get closer and take a closer look at the situation.
But he was stopped by Maka with a wave of his hand.
"Huh -" Maka breathed a sigh of relief after returning to everyone's sight. After looking down at his right elbow, he looked at Kern not far away and said, "How dangerous do you think it is? It's just a little bit close. Son! Just a little bit, and you will fall short!"
As he said this, he raised his elbow and waved it showily at Kern opposite him.
For a moment, not only the witch Kern, but also Harry and Hermione who were a little further away saw that Maka's right arm was covered with strange cracks at some point. And on the elbow, the cracks are particularly dense, and there are even faint traces of peeling in the most serious places, revealing some sharp edges and rough sections that don't look like flesh.
There was a slight silence in the auditorium. Harry and the others had not reacted in a short period of time, but Witch Kern had already understood.
"Is it the previous doll?" She still frowned slightly, staring at Maka's elbow and observing it carefully, and asked, "This material change... what kind of magic is it?"
"Of course it's the so-called 'magic of today's era that has declined to the point of being barren' in your mouth!" Maka smiled and said, "It's called 'transformation'. It's not bad, right? You know, I'm the one who inherited it from my master. The exquisite skills of Ms. Minerva McGonagall, the top transfiguration master of the era! If I can deceive you, I won’t lose face to Professor McGonagall.”
"'Transfiguration'...?"
Kern was still looking at Maka, not even paying attention to the other threat behind him that would strike again at any time. In other words, in fact, she still has confidence that even if another sneak attack occurs, she can block it as easily as before.
And in just a few seconds, Kern, who was staring closely at Maka's right arm, suddenly raised his eyebrows, seeming to have an answer.
"Fragmented rules and runes combined with unprecedented weird combinations can actually produce controllable effects?" Her expression softened and she said, "Okay! I have to admit that I was wrong before... In some circumstances that I took for granted, I committed the sin of 'arrogance' that I shouldn't have."
In the final analysis, Kern has always been...or was a research witch who was proficient in research and loyal to research. In terms of magic research, if it turns out that she is indeed wrong, then it will not be very difficult for her to admit her mistake like this.
only…
"Ms. Kern," Maka spread her hands and said, "At this point in time, we have to discuss magic research... I don't mind it. However, isn't it still a little inappropriate?"
As he spoke, a pale golden figure suddenly climbed up from the ground not far away, and with a flick of his hand, something was thrown violently in the direction of Harry.
That's Luna!
At the same time, the girl's voice also sounded in Harry's mind.
"Original plan!"
Buzz —
Almost at the same time, a wave of rapidly surging magic power surged from Kern's body. As soon as Kern wanted to do something, Maka stepped in between Harry and her.
When Kern saw this, his movements suddenly stagnated, and the fluctuations in magic power also slowed down. And it was at this time that the black, mutilated figure that had been motionless since just now finally started to move, and suddenly hit Kern in the back of the head with a straightforward punch.
If Harry had just come closer, there would definitely be flaws in this series of actions now. Either Luna's position was too far away from him, or it would be difficult for Maka to cover him easily. But now, everything seems to be falling into place.
Not far behind Maka, Harry had successfully caught what Luna threw at her - this was the fake Elder Wand that he had thrown away not long ago! Unexpectedly, after the wand rolled to the side, it happened to roll to Luna's side, and now it circled and returned to his hand.
"Original plan?"
Luna's words were short and urgent in his mind, and coupled with the urgent situation in front of him, he no longer allowed him to think too much. With only a brief reaction, he immediately took out the necklace that Hermione had given him in advance from his pocket. The next moment, he reached for his wand and was about to press the tip of the wand towards the scarlet pendant.
It's called the "touch method", right? Remember what Hermione said earlier...
