Perhaps it was because he was stimulated by a shark in the sea when he happened to be unable to use his strength. Even Malfoy himself did not expect that he could break through the waves and reach the shore so quickly.
Of course, the main reason was that the shark didn't seem to want to take a bite from him.
But overall, the most regrettable thing is probably that Enns is still on the way. Obviously, even if something went wrong on Malfoy's side, he couldn't catch up after all.
I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for him.
Speaking of which, the weather today is really good. When you look up, the sky is clear and natural. When Malfoy washed up on a certain coast with a vague black energy all over his body, he threw himself on the warm uninhabited beach, feeling that he had lost all his strength.
Fighting against the seemingly vast ocean was extremely difficult even for him with special powers.
But now that he has touched solid and reliable ground again, as a wizard, what he has to do is very simple. After using magic spells to confuse the Muggles' senses along the way and managing to get themselves to the approximate destination, they discovered that not too much time had passed.
At about eleven o'clock at noon London time, which was noon in Albania, Malfoy hurried from the place where he landed to the edge of the lush mountain forest that he saw on the map of the secret room.
"...Tsk, can I just go on my own if I go further?"
In the past, I would never have chosen to take a Muggle bus. Even the knight bus in the wizarding world had only been on it once, and as soon as I got off the bus, I secretly vowed never to take it again.
But now, he no longer cares about this trivial matter. With just an ordinary magic spell, he could move forward effortlessly. If he didn't need it anymore, he could wave his hand and let the other person leave. This even made him feel a little comfortable.
"What's further ahead... Yes, just drive for half an hour and then find a river to drive down - let's go!"
Malfoy opened the door and got out of the car, then gave instructions without looking back, and then left the road on the mountain side and walked into the dense forest.
"Okay, sir."
From the driver's seat, a slightly dull voice came out a step slower, and then gradually faded away with the roar of the engine without even closing the passenger door.
After Malfoy walked into the forest and confirmed that there was no one else around, he once again awakened the mysterious energy in his body and started running wildly according to the marks on the map.
However, it is not an easy task to compare ancient maps with modern maps to determine the actual location.
He had taken the time to confirm it when he was at Hogwarts, but so much time had passed, not to mention the various spreads and contractions of forest vegetation, and even the terrain had changed slightly. If the entrance to the ancient temple hadn't been built with magic, even Maka and his spider friends might not have been able to find traces.
The physical ability of Malfoy who mobilized the energy was indeed extraordinary, and he ran very fast in the forest. However, after wandering deep in the forest for nearly an hour, he found that he had never seen anything else except plants. .
That's right, it seems that I haven't even met a small animal!
"call-"
He stood for a moment on a slope deep in the mountains and let out a long breath. He kept running and searching but found nothing, which made him very irritable, and it seemed difficult to calm down.
"Could it be that the place marked by the red circle is actually underground..." Malfoy frowned and opened the map again to study, "No, after all, isn't the tomb supposed to be underground? But on the ground There must be some mark, right?”
The reason why he decided so decisively to come to Albania was only incidental to the quarrel in the common room. The three words "despicable", "Helbo" and "grave" on that ancient map became the biggest inducement for him to leave Hogwarts after he consulted and translated them.
In the ancient history of magic, Haierbo's graveyard is known as "the most powerful and influential dark wizard known". What is hidden there... Malfoy, who is now extremely thirsty for power, is naturally... Won't want to miss it.
But where is that tomb
After resting against the trunk of a big tree for a short while, Malfoy, unwilling to give up, took his legs up again and continued running in a different direction than before.
He planned to search for another afternoon. If he still couldn't find a place before nightfall, he would find a suitable place to rest for the night, and then continue the search tomorrow morning.
Only this time, he had just rushed forward a short distance when he felt the energy in his body suddenly stir.
At first, he was shocked, thinking that he had overused that energy. But in the blink of an eye, he discovered that the energy that had been accumulated in the Muggle vehicle and had been consumed a lot was being restored very quickly!
At the same time, he suddenly felt a strange attraction in a certain direction. It felt like... as if there was something with the same origin as the energy in his body, calling him over in an extremely erratic way.
"...Is that over there?"
It was now afternoon, and some sunlight could still be seen vaguely through the gaps between the branches and leaves above the head. When I was exploring around, the light in the forest was about the same. But this time, as he gradually walked in the direction he felt, it was obviously much darker just a short distance away.
Now, even if Malfoy temporarily ignored the guidance of that strange attraction, he could clearly sense that he was entering a very special place.
"what?"
After climbing another slope and the surrounding light became increasingly scarce, Malfoy suddenly stopped. Because he seemed to hear a vague voice coming from not far ahead.
Although the sound was almost inaudible, it seemed to come directly from his mind. From the moment he noticed it, he could no longer ignore its existence. And at this moment, the attraction towards him suddenly increased several times.
"This... what... it's over there, in that direction!"
Malfoy was just stunned for a short while, and then he could no longer wipe away the restless desire rising in his heart, and almost threw away all hesitation and ran forward.
He was speeding up his running speed, constantly making himself faster and faster, and the black energy in his body became more and more powerful...
"… Ho… Power… Power! Do you want… Power?"
With every step he took, the voice became clearer, echoing desperately in Malfoy's head. For a moment, his consciousness was turned into chaos, and he had no other choice but to obey his instinctive desire and move forward quickly.
It's a pity that no matter whether he likes it or not, it is absolutely impossible to reach the destination without any obstacles!
"boom!"
Even though Malfoy was covered in black energy at this moment, and he was rushing forward with a speed and power that could even be compared to the dive of a Hippogriff, he was still stopped by something.
It was a transparent barrier that was invisible to the naked eye. The moment he hit it, the barrier flickered slightly, but he was sent flying backwards by the huge reaction force.
This protective magic barrier was naturally set up by Maka herself.
It has to be said that the huge impact of his desperate forward movement still had a certain effect, because the protective barrier seemed to have a few less obvious cracks under his impact.
However, his destruction of the barrier was limited to this. On the contrary, this violent impact, which left no room at all, caused him to fall over involuntarily, and at the same time, it also allowed him to faintly regain some of his own will.
"No... what is this sound... hiss..." Malfoy fell into a bush, covering his dizzy head and fell into confusion.
The voice echoing in his mind was only slightly weakened. It was still interfering with his consciousness and confusing his mind from the inside, leaving him unable to resist at all.
"No, stop, stop—"
Today's Malfoy is indeed longing for power, and that very seductive voice may really give him enough power. But somewhere deep in his heart, there was another voice that seemed to be trying its best to remind him, telling him that he must stay away from this inexplicable and terrifying temptation.
Unfortunately, that voice was too weak compared to the bewitching voice in my mind. In just an instant, it was completely submerged in the abyss of the heart, and the tide of desire surged forward again!
"Tsk—" "Bang!"
The black energy that had mostly dissipated suddenly swirled around Malfoy. He quickly climbed up from the bushes, kicked off his feet, and once again burst out at amazing speed. Immediately afterwards, the sound of treading on the ground was almost connected with the sound of hitting the transparent magic barrier.
As the magic barrier lights up and disappears, you can see that there are a few more cracks on it - the strength of this magic barrier is by no means comparable to the highly hardened wall in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
The question now is, before Maka arrives, who realizes that the magic barrier has been touched, can Malfoy, who is dominated by desire, break it through repeated powerful bombardments
"Bang...bang...bang..."
A dull crashing sound spread through the deep mountains and old forests, but in the sky above the mountains and forests, no birds were frightened away - there were no other self-aware creatures nearby.
