"Buzz-"
It was severe tinnitus caused by a terrible scream.
If the approach of the Dementors would bring despair to everyone, then this howl that struck directly into the soul would give everyone a blank slate that seemed like despair would never come again.
The moment Kingsley shouted "Be careful", the monster that had just floated back up suddenly opened its mouth, and its terrifying roar was directed toward the Aurors and Strikers on the opposite side. go.
At that moment, even Frena and little Victor, who were far away on the rooftop, felt a chill coming from their hearts straight to the back of their heads, and goosebumps fell all over their bodies.
But the good thing is that they are quite far away, so at least they are still conscious. As for those Aurors who took it head-on, most of them were in a daze.
"Psychic magic... this is ancient magic..."
It can be seen from here that Kingsley's mental power level is obviously higher than others. Even though he was equally close, he could still barely keep his thoughts running.
And the judgment he expressed showed his solid skills in magic theory.
But even so, Kingsley, who was slightly superhuman, couldn't help but lightly hold his forehead with one hand, showing pain and struggle on his face.
The monster's roar was obviously more terrifying than before.
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Kingsley endured the severe discomfort, waved his wand and chanted the spell.
Immediately, a silvery white light emerged from the tip of his staff, forming a vortex in the blink of an eye. The next moment, a silver cat that looked like a cheetah jumped out of the whirlpool and flew straight into the sky in the direction of the monster not far away.
That is his patron saint. The specific image is a lynx, with a strong and powerful figure.
However, the Patronus Curse is indeed a natural enemy for ordinary Dementors, but will it also be astonishingly effective for the monster in front of me that looks very much like a Dementor
Kingsley was completely unsure about this.
"Oh! As expected of Mr. Kingsley Shacklebolt, he can summon such a solid patron saint!"
On the roof of the building here, Frena suddenly marveled.
And just the next second.
"boom!"
I saw the lynx patron saint approaching the monster fiercely and pounced on it without hesitation. Immediately, the monster was knocked backwards and flew more than ten feet, and then fell back to the ground from an unstable suspended state.
However, this heavy fall did not cause much damage to it. When the lynx guardian pounced on it, it quickly got up.
"boom!"
Seeing that abominable patron saint relentlessly pursuing him again, the monster raised his hand and waved at the waist.
This time, it was the lynx patron saint who was sent flying out by the heavy slap.
Fortunately, the Patron Saint is different from that monster. A pure energy body like this does not suffer injuries or death in the true sense.
As soon as it was slapped away, it quickly turned around and entangled with the opponent fearlessly.
…
"That's... what's going on? What is that monster doing?"
If you look at it from the perspective of a wizard, Kingsley's Patronus and the monster are fighting together. Silver and gray are frequently intertwined, which is naturally thrilling and exciting.
But if you look at it from the eyes of little Victor on the roof here, the scene seems to be a translucent monster dancing happily on the spot. Not only will it be a bit inexplicable, but it will even make people laugh. .
Because magical products like Patronuses, which are shaped by the spirit of wizards and condensed by pure magic power, are the most difficult "specialties" of the magical world for Muggles to see.
"Oh... That's the Patron Saint summoned by Mr. Shakur fighting the monster, but you can't see the Patron Saint." Frena next to her kindly explained.
However, the answer to a question usually brings more surprises and questions to people.
"'Summon the Patron Saint'?" Little Victor said in surprise while rubbing his still dizzy head, "Can your wizards really summon something else? Also, what is the Patron Saint? It's a dragon. Really? Or an angel?"
"No, no, that is not actually a 'calling', but a manifestation of spiritual will..."
Frena tried to explain the principle, but after thinking about it subconsciously, she quickly discovered that it was difficult for even herself to explain it clearly.
Obviously, it is very difficult to explain the principles of magic to a Muggle who knows almost nothing about magic. Only when a wizard truly understands the essence of magic can he explain the profound theories in an easy-to-understand way.
As for her, a little secretary who had just entered the British Ministry of Magic as an intern, she was far worse.
"Oh! I just realized how difficult it is to be an educator..." Frena pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Mr. MacLean is not interested in such a prestigious position as the Minister of Magic... It turns out, In the magical world, a knowledgeable professor is the most indispensable!"
"...Listening to what you said, he seems to be really great." Little Victor couldn't help but echoed from the side.
It's a pity that if Frena knew that Maka had been planning to resign, she might have ended her pursuit of stardom on the spot.
Later, when little Victor, who had not received the answer, began to think about the "Patron Saint" again, Frena beside him suddenly leaned out a little more with a surprised look on his face.
And where Frena was looking was naturally the square below.
"Look! Mr. Shacklebolt woke up his colleagues and they all started casting the Patronus Charm!"
Just as she said, after Kingsley discovered that his lynx patronus could barely wrap around the monster, he immediately took out a small potion bottle hidden inside his robe.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly removed the cork from the bottle and hurriedly shuttled back and forth among the other Aurors and Strikers.
He dabbed the refreshing potion under everyone's noses, and first selected a group of members who had not been knocked down by the previous scream to dispel the discomfort one by one.
Although the monster's howl still contains an impact on the soul, it is a trauma that cannot be relieved by this magic potion, but it can at least allow some people to restore their thinking.
He definitely wouldn't be able to deal with that monster right now by relying on him alone.
So, after he awakened several subordinates in succession, the members with similar experience immediately followed suit and summoned their respective patron saints.
Not everyone can learn the Patronus Charm, especially when it comes to condensing a Patronus.
But they are Aurors after all, and some of them are even special strikers against dark wizards. Such typical Defense Against the Dark Arts spells are of course not a problem for them.
Several puffs of silver-white light mist splashed out on the square, followed closely by various patron saints hurriedly rushing around the monster, joining the silver lynx who was still struggling alone.
After that, as Kingsley awakened more and more people, the number of patron saints also began to increase. Seeing that the response worked, Kingsley himself couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he knew from the beginning that the first move must have been Maka's hand - that kind of magic that could ruthlessly freeze things in an instant, but he had never seen another wizard use it.
It's just because of this that he never dared to take action easily before.
Now, when he saw that the Patronus Spell could indeed have an effect, he felt a little relieved... although the effect was obviously far less effective than when dealing with ordinary Dementors.
Gradually, the monster was suppressed by many patron saints. The only thing that worries Kingsley a little is that no matter how the patron saints attack, they can't cause substantial damage to the opponent.
No, maybe that's not the "only" thing he's worried about.
"Where's Maka?"
While controlling his patron saint and cooperating with everyone to limit the monster's movement range, Kingsley was secretly worried.
He had collaborated with Maka many times when dealing with Voldemort earlier, so he was relatively familiar with Maka's habits.
Like now, when Maka just threw a magic spell and didn't show up again, there is a high possibility that that guy has already left here and gone somewhere else.
However, what happened that made the strong young man who replaced Dumbledore become the new pillar of Hogwarts leave in such a hurry
Kingsley felt his scalp tingle when he thought that maybe while a large group of them were working together to deal with a monster, a much more terrifying disaster was happening in another place.
What he was worried about was not that he couldn't deal with the monster in front of him, nor that Maka might be in danger, nor even that there might be vicious friction between the Muggle world and the magical world.
What he was worried about was that it would become a fact that "Maka has to do everything by herself".
This was the case with Dumbledore back then, but the gap between Dumbledore and their group was not as obvious as Maka's, so not many people noticed.
But now, the intensity of some crises in this magical world is really too high... Once Maka cannot hold on any day, his fall will inevitably symbolize the coming of a huge disaster.
If there is no change in this situation, no one dares to imagine what the future magic world will look like.
Suddenly, Kingsley took a deep breath, and saw him wave the wand in his hand forward, and the silver light on the lynx patronus suddenly burst out.
But in the next moment, the monster swung its arm backhand, and then saw the silvery lynx flying backwards to no avail.
Kingsley's dark face became increasingly tense.
