For most people, death is undoubtedly a scary thing.
Even if you can face it with unparalleled courage, ignore it with the determination to protect your loved ones, and try to surpass it with the highest ideals or firm beliefs.
But the respect and fear that originates from instinct, more or less, exist after all, and it is difficult to deny it.
But if we have to say who in this world is completely unafraid of death... At least among the people Maka knows, there is probably only one person who often says "death is just another great adventure". Professor Dumbledore, right
"Professor, is this the person who returned after experiencing 'a great adventure'?" Maka stood next to Dumbledore and muttered casually, "If so... I think that kind of adventure is still considered Alright?"
"What?"
Probably because he didn't hear Maka's muttering clearly, Dumbledore asked subconsciously.
Maka shook her head slightly.
"No, it's nothing." He paused and said, "Anyway... Professor, can you help block her?"
"Oh, of course. But wait a minute."
The feeling of this great old wizard really hasn't changed. No matter what situation or enemy he faces, he is still so calm and calm. Watching the witch Kern walking toward me step by step, feeling oppressed, she seemed to be just greeting a visitor who came to have afternoon tea...
Wait a moment? What are you waiting for
Maka, who only had a casual posture, seemed to be equally calm, and he did not ask any more questions about Dumbledore's words. He just nodded casually to show that he understood.
For a time, the atmosphere between the enemy and ourselves became a little weird, just like the completely different scenes on both sides...
Then, Kern finally stopped suddenly when she was less than 30 feet away from Dumbledore and Maka.
It wasn't that she became wary because of the calmness between the two of them - to her, that was obviously nothing - she just seemed to notice something and turned her head slightly.
"Oh, it's coming."
Following Kern's line of sight, Dumbledore also looked over, and smiled and said hello to another visitor.
Maka followed and glanced.
"Ah! Is it Mr. Greenwald? Hmm... I haven't seen you for a while. How are you lately?"
Maka said this and curled her lips slightly.
Yes, the person coming is Gellert Greenwald.
At the last moment, the old man voluntarily threw himself into the Devouring Mirror, leaving his already aging body forever in front of Dumbledore's ice coffin. And his soul has naturally followed the footsteps of his old friend and came here from that moment on.
To be honest, Maka has never liked Professor Dumbledore's "old friend". This was true in the past, and it remains true even now.
The old man tossed him around at that time. Looking back now, even if he didn't lose in the end, he was still a little angry.
Thinking of this, Maka subconsciously touched his chest, but soon he put his hand down again.
On the other side, Greenwald, who was slowly walking towards this side, did not look at Maka. Not only did he not look at Maka, he didn't even look at the witch Kern, because his eyes only fell on Dumbledore from the beginning to the end.
"Have you seen it?" Dumbledore also looked at him and asked him at this time.
"I just looked at it from a distance, and I could only look at it from a distance. But it was this glance that made me see the truth!" Greenwald nodded slightly, his temperament was as awe-inspiring as before, "Death is The end of life is also the beginning of spirit. If the material is not destroyed, the spirit will last forever... This world is really full of endless mysteries! It is worth giving up everything for you and me to explore... "
"Of course, of course, but before that, our 'little friend' still needs us to help him."
As Dumbledore spoke, he patted Maka on the shoulder beside him, indicating that his old friend should also pay attention to the other two existences here.
Maka spread her hands and seemed a bit noncommittal about Professor Dumbledore's "kid".
On the other hand, the Witch Kern was not far away. She was obviously more interested in the newly appeared Grindelwald than meeting Dumbledore.
"You are also trying to find the true meaning of the rules of death."
She said this with a very positive tone, and it was obvious that in her eyes, Greenwald's soul tendency was almost clear.
After saying this, Greenwald's eyes finally fell on the witch Kern.
"So, do you want my help to deal with her? Albus." Greenwald looked at Kern and asked, "The amazing soul power and close connection with death are simply the incarnation of sin... But what does this have to do with me?"
Greenwald is Greenwald. Even if Dumbledore speaks now, he will not easily shake his principles of doing things.
In fact, although he didn't even look at Kern in the first place, it seemed that he didn't notice the other person's existence at all. But such a dazzling witch not only has the dangerous appearance of a demon, but also exudes amazing oppressive power all the time. How could Greenwald ignore her
It's just that he usually won't do confrontations like this that are not beneficial to him - every action Greenwald takes must have a corresponding clear purpose.
This is also the biggest gap between Voldemort and him.
However, how could this be so difficult for Dumbledore, who knew him so well
"Maybe you don't know it, but I can remind you," Dumbledore immediately pointed out, "This is the powerful ancient wizard who was known as the 'Goddess of Death' two thousand years ago, the witch Kern... Remember Really? The two of us have searched all over the world for those ancient legends about her."
That must be an old story from their youth. Maybe even the two of them can't remember many of their experiences at that time, but they still remember clearly the "Deathly Hallows" thing. .
"The God of Death?" Greenwald touched the beard on his upper lip, then turned his head and stared again, "Are you the legendary God of Death?"
But when the two of them were talking, Witch Kern had already returned to her previous indifference—she was a little curious about Greenwald, but the most important thing to her right now was not this!
She had no interest in answering Greenwald's inquiry.
"Another spare soul hub...?" Kern thought for a while.
