Ever since Maka went back in time this time, he was always accompanied by not only the ticking sound of the time turner, but also the magic ring surrounding him.
It was precisely because of the existence of this magic circle that he was able to increase the length of time retrieval.
There are still too many unanswered questions about the spherical rune array he saw on his future self, but it brought him a lot of inspiration. Although he still does not understand the specific content of the time rules, he has made some progress in reducing the damage caused to himself by looking back in time.
The fact that he is standing here now is the best proof of it.
It's a pity that the damage is still there. Even if he has created a circular magic array, he still cannot complete the journey unscathed.
The reason why he coughed from time to time in the past few days was precisely because the long period of retrospection was still slowly causing weak wear and tear on his body.
Because of this, he naturally has more reasons to continue to maintain the existence of the magic circle, unless he wants to use his body as a test subject to study the truth of that loss.
It's just... Of course, maintaining the magic array also requires magic power. He must keep a certain amount of magic power from being used at all times. As a result, he now has no other option but to bite the bullet and continue to hold on.
At the moment, the soul rule runes are still flickering on and off under the shock, while the "fake souls" he had prepared in advance and imitated with magic are already pouring out of the castle windows and heading straight for the mysterious ancient mirror. .
Yes, these translucent shadows are not real souls after all, and they cannot penetrate the wall like real souls.
Although this plan has been quite difficult, fortunately, so far, there have been no irreparable omissions. If I have to say it, the only loophole that is actually not very eye-catching is that the soul cannot pass through the wall.
But the blizzard at this moment is the biggest cover. In addition, at that time, I was so preoccupied with being amazed by the long river of souls that I didn't even look at this point so carefully.
He just needs to wait a little longer, wait for all those souls to float to the location of the ancient mirror, and then disappear there... Or, in other words, after the Maka at that time is deceived by him now, everything will come to an end.
This kind of waiting sounds simple, but in fact it is undoubtedly a kind of suffering. If his remaining magic power is not enough to last until the retrospect time has passed, then he will have to face the decision of whether to remove the magic circle in advance.
There is no doubt that after removing the magic ring, he has more magic power to use. Judging from the magic power consumed so far, it is obvious that those magic powers can allow him to maintain the soul rune for a long time.
But even if he ignores his injuries for the sake of Hogwarts, maybe his magic power is enough, but can his body still hold on until the last step of the plan is completed
This world full of magic has many strange and weird things, which are indeed mysterious and colorful, but there is nothing that can allow wizards to replenish their magic power. No, maybe it actually exists, but Tamaka hasn't been able to discover it until now.
For this reason, Maka couldn't help but regret at this moment, because Dumbledore wanted to give him the Elder Wand. It is said that the wand itself has powerful magic power. It is the only rare treasure in the world and one of the three Deathly Hallows.
Even if he doesn't use it, he can take it back and study it, right
It's just that although he regrets it, he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong. At that time, the Order of the Phoenix had just fallen into crisis, and Voldemort was also peeping in the dark, and he had to go out to investigate Willy's situation. Therefore, Dumbledore, who stayed at Hogwarts, obviously needed it more.
He just didn't expect that Dumbledore would break the Elder Wand and "run away" without all the burdens!
Maka understood that Dumbledore must want to cut off all possibilities of Voldemort snatching the Elder Wand. Although the wand is just a tool for casting spells, when the wand gets into Voldemort's hands, unpredictable changes will definitely occur...
While Maka was maintaining the regular runes and waiting patiently, time slowly passed. The expected bad developments did not occur. The moment Maka noticed that the ticking in his ears suddenly stopped, he immediately removed the magic ring surrounding him.
Yes, the last time he used the time turner was not like the first five hours, when he calmly waited until everything was over. And this point is the key point that determines whether the plan is established.
If it were too late, his magic power would most likely not last until the end, and if it was too early, there would be a great chance that he would discover something unusual at the time.
Soon, another shock and contraction passed from the outside to the inside again, and Maka then strengthened the strength of the soul rune.
After he completed the reinforcement, he gently shook the staff, leaving the regular rune representing the soul in the air. And the next moment, he ran out quickly.
The last part of the plan was very short, and the rune he left there could barely survive two shocks, and it was very likely that it would collapse on its own before the third shock appeared.
He must complete what he is going to do within the next two shocks.
For a moment, Maka, who was stepping on the magic book, increased her flying speed to the limit. Even if someone saw it inadvertently, they would probably only be able to catch a glimpse of a fleeting shadow.
As soon as he walked out of the window, he saw the mess in the castle's front yard. There had been a head-on confrontation between the Stone Knights and the Black Death followers brought by Voldemort. At this moment, a large number of stone fragments were scattered on the snow, looking messy.
However, some of these soulless statues are still standing in place, holding swords and shields to guard the main entrance of Hogwarts Castle. But the Black Death Apostles, who originally had the advantage, fell down in the snow because of the power of the ancient magic mirror just now.
Of course, this is not what Maka is focusing on. He just glanced at the scene in the vestibule, and then flew towards the frozen lake on the south side of the castle without stopping. While flying at high speed, he finally poured the bottle of Immortal Yin potion that he had kept in his pocket into his mouth.
Dumbledore's ice coffin was mostly covered by snow in this strong snowstorm, and it was no longer as eye-catching as it was before. Grindelwald and Voldemort both fell next to them, and they saw that they had already lost their vitality.
Maka didn't care about anything, including the bodies of Grindelwald and Voldemort. He had no interest in them at all. For him, now is to compete with himself for time.
That’s right, it’s about competing for time with “yourself”.
In addition to the soul rune in the castle, in a short while, myself disguised as Snape should also appear. But before that, he had to get rid of this broken mirror.
Maka suddenly fell from the sky, and as soon as he landed, he quickly stretched out the staff in his hand. He didn't know how Greenwald controlled it, but he had his own way.
In any case, the soul-swallowing effect of this ancient magic mirror is also a certain application of the rules of the soul. It's just that the effect is much more powerful than the soul magic that Maka knows.
However, just when he was about to directly cover it with the power of the soul rule runes, a wave of shock happened to be generated suddenly at this time. Probably because the distance was too close, the effect was unexpectedly strong, causing Maka's whole body to shake slightly.
At this moment, Maka almost broke into a cold sweat. The plan has reached this point, and every step has been extremely urgent. He doesn't want to fall short in the end.
Fortunately, his research on the soul rules was not in vain, allowing him to withstand this shock at this close range. If the soul is knocked out of the body now, even if he can pull the soul back into the body again, he will not have time to deal with the ancient mirror.
Taking advantage of the shock that had just passed, Maka quickly concentrated her attention, guided the magic power to turn into threads, and worked hard to outline another soul rule rune.
At this time, he had canceled the magic circle, and the magic power was enough for the rest of last night. This plan is connected step by step, all of which will have a decisive influence on the subsequent process. Each link is intertwined, but each link is also dangerous and difficult.
To be honest, Maka's time journey was almost as breathtaking as Merlin's smelly socks.
This soul rune is the key among the keys. For this, Maka did not hesitate to spend several times the magic power just now to limit the strange power of this broken mirror.
The magical threads are still sketching and winding, one by one, quickly and strictly intertwining in the void that ordinary people can't see. Not long after, a soul rule rune that was more solid than the one in the castle quietly appeared on the top of Maka's staff.
Even though the runes have been outlined, Maka still has no intention of breathing a sigh of relief.
It can be noticed through the sudden disappearance of the powerful suction force against the soul that the soul rule rune is indeed effective. But this does not mean that everything is over, because this final step has not been completely completed.
He quickly glanced in the distance, although due to the school's walls and angle, he couldn't see what was going on outside. But having summarized all time points many times, he knew that the time was almost up.
"bring it on!"
Maka remained invisible, using most of her magic power to support the power of the soul rune, silently waiting for the last moment to arrive.
In order to be able to welcome this moment, he has spent too much time and experienced too many thrills. He even had to go to great lengths to set up a scam for himself.
In this case, let’s try to cheat one last time! I just hope that after that, everything will come to an end.
