The explosion of cooling rules just now is a major result of Maka's continuous research over the years.
By understanding the regular runes, he can create an extremely stable ultra-low temperature area in an instant, which is a powerful force that can freeze all the magic power that is constantly flowing.
However, due to the limitations of the cooling rule rune itself, even if Maka has been able to maximize its effect, it is still only a first-level rule.
It may be able to stop all the magic power in Haierbo's body, but it cannot affect the other party's soul.
For the soul in the human body, as long as it is not transformed into a ghost form for some reason, it still falls within the scope of the second-level rules of the spiritual system, and cannot be interfered by the first-level rules of the material system - the cooling rules.
However, no matter how you put it, this can be regarded as the peak power of the first-level rule power.
In that short moment, although Haierbo used the soul rules to impact Maka's spiritual will and interrupted Maka's actions very timely, his body was still somewhat touched by the terrifying low temperature at that moment. arrive.
At this moment, Maka looked at Haierbo's sleeves and the hem of his robe. Just the mottled crystals and traces of damage on them clearly revealed the gains from his sudden burst of rule power.
Of course, the actual effect is probably limited to this.
“… Do you think it’s really enough with just this little effort?”
Maka had already been prepared for the soul impact from Halbo just before she planned to send Enns away.
However, even he can be said to have a good understanding of soul magic. When trying to solve the ancient mirror incident, he also did a lot of research on the soul rule runes obtained from the Bewitched Monument. He still couldn't completely block Haierbo's methods - even if Haierbo at that time could even be said to be "hasty".
Therefore, despite his understatement, it makes people think that he has a lot of room for success, but in fact he just wants to bluff.
Judging from Haierbo's previous actions, the only way for him to leave alive is probably to use his own strength to escape from the opponent's hands.
However, the old guy didn't seem to be too disgusted with Maka's seemingly arrogant speech.
"I just need to know whether the strength is enough." Haierbo still had a smile on his face, and his eyes when looking at Maka were still calm and calm, "To me, that child's soul is not as sweet and delicious as yours." Woolen cloth?"
"Really?" Maka nodded, "Then you have to be able to get it—"
Before he finished speaking, the top of his staff began to emit crystal blue-white light again, and the cooling rune reappeared in front of the two of them.
Opposite him, the ancient mirror behind Haierbo seemed to have begun to melt, revealing spiral silver-gray vortices. In the center of the vortex, the soul rule runes were looming.
The showdown between the two seems to be about to break out.
…
Just when Maka and Helbo were about to fight, Enns, who was sent back to the main entrance of Hogwarts, had already arrived at the school's vestibule.
The final stage of the Alchemy Competition seems to have reached the most critical moment. The stadium is packed with people, and the buzz of the audience talking about the competition even reaches outside the stadium.
But Enns couldn't care about this. His mind was now full of messy thoughts. Although he wanted to find someone to help Maka, he had no idea who to look for.
And at this moment, at a certain window opening in Gryffindor Tower, a pair of eyes that were looking around at the temporary market in the front yard of the campus suddenly spotted a small figure with a confused look on his face.
"Enns?"
That was Alexander. He had walked tirelessly around the castle several times today, but he found that Enns was nowhere to be found. It was clearly the final moment on the field, but he just had no interest in watching the birth of the champion.
Perhaps unknowingly, Ens Tavon has become his true friend, even if this friend always makes people feel a little annoying.
After discovering Enns' figure, Alexander immediately turned around and rushed out of the portrait door of the common room, and then ran straight to the stairs amidst the high-decibel exclamation of the Fat Lady.
At this time, most people went to the stadium to watch the game, and there were not many customers in the temporary market. Therefore, he quickly found Enns' location while running.
"Hey!"
Hearing a familiar voice from the front, Enns, who was walking quickly towards the castle and in a daze, suddenly raised his head, and then he saw Alexander running straight towards him.
"Oh, it's this kid..." Enns muttered listlessly, "What's the use of him here?"
But no matter what he thought, Alexander definitely didn't know. Alexander was visibly annoyed at his disappearance and started shouting loudly as soon as he came to him.
"Where have you been? Let me tell you, the principal and others all know it... You will definitely not be able to escape with this heavy punishment!"
"Huh?" Enns said casually, "Just punish me..."
While he was perfunctory, he didn't pause at all, but passed Alexander directly - he didn't have time to say this now!
From his observation of the old wizard who ran out from under the giant stone monument, it was obvious that he was a powerful man with extremely terrifying strength. Maka may be very powerful, but can he defeat the opponent
Enns didn't know... Although he didn't know clearly, it was Maka who saved him from such an old man with unfathomable strength.
Therefore, he must find someone to rush to help Maka - help his savior!
Unable to think of whom to look for for a while, Enns naturally walked towards the castle. After all, Professor McGonagall is the principal of Hogwarts, so it wouldn't be wrong to go to her first, right
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Ens!"
Seeing Enns passing by him without hesitation, obviously not intending to pay any attention to him, Alexander, who had always been worried about Enns today, became even more angry.
After turning around and calling but receiving no response, Alexander couldn't help but take two quick steps and grabbed Enns' dirty robe.
"Are you bothered-"
Enns was also upset, and after being dragged to a stagger by Alexander, he became even more angry. But when he turned around and was about to push Alexander away, an idea occupied his mind first.
"Alexander, where is Professor McGonagall now? Is it in the principal's office or in the arena?"
If you go to the principal's office only to find that no one is there, your time is wasted. And today is the final again. If you think about it carefully, Professor McGonagall is obviously more likely to watch the game there.
"Professor McGonagall? I don't know... but he's probably in the arena, right?" Alexander was stunned when Enns asked, "What, are you going to 'surrender' now?"
"What are you surrendering for—I'll go find Professor McGonagall first, and I'll tell you the specifics later," Enns waved his hand and said, "Professor MacLean may be in trouble!"
After saying that, Enns, who had almost reached the entrance of the castle, turned around and ran towards the entrance passage of the arena. Behind him, Alexander paused again before chasing after him.
However, they were destined to be unable to find Mag there.
At this moment, the auditorium was already overcrowded. The two of them squeezed in and looked around for a few times, but in fact they were just wandering around near the entrance.
As for the most likely VIP seats, it is simply impossible to break through all the way.
This time, Alexander had good eyesight. When passing by a row of seats, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several seniors from Gryffindor House who were also watching the game. Compared with Enns's solitary character, knowing more people will naturally provide him with more convenience in this situation.
After learning that Professor McGonagall had left the arena more than two hours ago, Enns had to turn back and prepare to try his luck at the castle again.
"Alexander, you try to tell the other professors, and I'll go find Professor McGonagall."
Before leaving, Enns gestured towards the front of the auditorium - although the principal was not here, he couldn't just waste the time running here. It would be more efficient to act separately.
In fact, if he hadn't felt that it was best not to let too many people know about Albania, directly mobilizing more students might be the most appropriate choice.
Hearing Enns say this, Alexander frowned immediately, but he nodded quickly.
"I know," he said, and shouted loudly to Enns's quickly leaving back, "But... remember to explain it clearly to me afterwards! Do you understand?"
…
From the first floor of the castle to the principal's office, the fastest way is naturally to take the spiral staircase that leads directly to the door of the office. Unfortunately, the entrance to the spiral staircase is guarded by gargoyles, and it cannot be used without a password.
Therefore, Enns had to settle for the next best thing and chose another spiral staircase on the west side of the castle. The staircase did not exert its own rotation magic, so he needed to climb to the top with his own legs, and then pass through a long corridor before he could see the door of the principal's office.
And this staircase is also the way to the Ravenclaw common room.
Enns ran for a long time on this continuously extending staircase. When his legs began to swell and become sore, he reached the eighth floor of the castle out of breath.
As soon as he panted to the top of the castle, Enns saw a senior student walking towards him in the corridor ahead. The other party's long pale golden hair was still bright and dazzling even in the castle where there was not enough light.
"Well?"
As the two sides passed each other, the girl let out a slight sigh.
