The Bewitching Monument, which once sealed the despicable Haierbo underground for nearly a thousand years, could not suppress the witch Kern for even three seconds...
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this seems to be a matter of course. Maka herself probably knew that such a result might occur.
Yes, Professor Dumbledore and Grindelwald teamed up to fight with him. Even if he was as strong as the witch Kern, he was obviously injured.
The state she was in when she appeared from behind Maka didn't look good.
It's a pity that at the moment when the two finally grabbed her by force, Maka captured the opportunity to do it very accurately, and with the help of Safina, who had the power of "arrogance", she prepared here The Bewitching Monument successfully hit her for a moment, but in the end it still failed to seal her away.
However, as Kern himself said, even setting aside this failure, Kern has been left in this place-at least until she finds a way to return to the material world, she can only I stayed in this white place.
She must not be unfamiliar with this place. After all, she has been wandering in this virtual place for two thousand years before this!
As for the reason why she couldn't leave...
"Judging from her previous strange reaction, it seems that it is because of the arrival of...'another Maka'?"
Hermione, who was quick-thinking, realized this subconsciously, but at the moment, she had no time to think deeply.
Because the moment after Witch Kern finished her previous words, the scene in front of her eyes once again underwent a drastic change beyond everyone's imagination—
"Ms. Kern, it seems that it is not easy to get such a sincere compliment from you!"
When she said these words, Maka's chest had been penetrated by the other party's hand.
Although from the location point of view, that is not where the most important heart is, but even so, the severity of the injury will not be reduced much, but it will only add more pain than a fatal blow.
However, his tone remained calm.
"but… "
I saw him with his back turned to this side, holding Kern's arm that penetrated his chest from behind with both hands, and said slowly:
"Now that you are satisfied, shouldn't it be time for me to be a little satisfied as well?"
Kacha.
Before Kern could finish his words, there was a clear sound of glass shattering, and everyone else saw a sudden pause in the space where the two of them were.
In that paused space, there were only a few invisible fragments of gravel glowing with insignificant golden light, floating and scattering in an unnatural state, from fast to slow, and then from slow to fast again.
The sheer suddenness made everyone's hearts tremble, but they couldn't react at all. Because this process seems very slow to the eyes, but in fact it is so fast that words cannot describe it.
Then…
"Varied-"
Before Kern's surprise could be fully translated into words, she was choked by an unknown but extremely powerful force, which then enveloped her and Maka, who still maintained the posture of being penetrated by her hand. , disappeared from everyone’s sight.
…
"Maka!"
The belated cry seemed to resound throughout the entire space, so much so that the surrounding scenery underwent new changes. The originally completely different scenery on the front and back began to become hazy and distorted, then slowly became dull, then dull again, until white once again occupied the entire field of vision.
The ones who shouted were Hermione and Harry. After they came to their senses, they both subconsciously ran a few steps forward, but soon stopped again.
Behind them, apart from Safina who looked confused, there was Luna standing there blankly, seemingly dazed.
Then, all eyes were refocused on the "other Maka" not far ahead, who was still standing on the way forward.
At this time, he had not turned back. He was still standing there, looking at the place where Kern and "him" disappeared and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Kids, are you okay?"
Suddenly, an old and familiar voice sounded from everyone's ears. Then, as far as the peripheral vision could see, a small fire jumped up with a "pop", and when everyone turned their attention to it, it expanded and turned into the golden bird they had just seen not long ago. Red Phoenix.
When Phoenix turned into a human form again, the blue flames that appeared next to him also changed into Grindelwald's appearance.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, everything will be fine..."
The one who spoke was naturally Dumbledore. Although Grindelwald also appeared together, he did not speak. He just stood aside with a sullen face and said nothing.
"Professor Dumbledore—" Harry looked at the old man, then turned to look at the back figure not far away. For a moment, he didn't know what else to say.
In fact, it's not his fault, because even Hermione just opened her mouth silently at this moment. Although there are thousands of words I want to say, but right now...
"Professor," she stumbled after being stunned for a few seconds, "Kern... no, I mean... can this be considered the end...?"
In fact, Dumbledore's figure looked a bit out of shape at this time, and Greenwald's condition was actually even worse. But maybe it’s because of the state of the soul! At least on the surface, they still looked as spotless as before.
Regarding Hermione's question, Dumbledore remained calm. He smiled first, then turned around and pointed:
"I can't answer that! Miss Granger, I think you should ask your Professor Maclean! After all, he is probably the only one in the world who knows the answers to all these questions."
"Don't you even know?"
Suddenly, Greenwald next to him interrupted.
Dumbledore smiled at him again.
"You and I are just passing by, aren't we?" he said, "I only know what I can know..."
"That's a bit cunning! The professor knows a lot more than I thought! Without the help of the professor and Mr. Greenwald just now, all the plans would not be possible..."
At some point, Maka, who was standing over there, also turned around and came back to a few people. After teasing Professor Dumbledore like this, he looked around at everyone, then smiled at Hermione and said:
"I heard what you just asked... Well, actually our work is not over yet, there is still the last and most critical step left - let's go! Say goodbye to the professor and Mr. Greenwald, we should go back! "
