"Sorry, give in..."
The next second Sirius rushed in without hesitation, Harry, who was following behind him, also drew out his wand.
But just when he was about to cast a barrier spell to cover Sirius's actions, a slightly hoarse voice sounded behind him.
"No, wait a minute, it's dangerous inside now!"
When he thought that the person inside was probably Haierbo, he didn't want to look back at all - what could be more worrying than the fact that the most powerful dark wizard in history appeared in front of him
However, just after Harry replied casually and was about to cast the spell, he suddenly felt a strong force pushing him aside easily.
Although the power was very astonishing, it was also unusually gentle, as if it had just carefully "moved" him to a different position.
He turned around in shock, only to see a black figure that was taller than him passing by him, and it actually grew much larger after entering the warehouse.
Looking at the monster with eight hairy legs that made clicking sounds when it walked, Harry finally knew what it was.
"Maka's spider? Just... was it talking to me?"
While he was surprised, Harry heard some rustling noises.
Since he just watched a big spider pass by him, this time he finally didn't even have to look at it, so he could naturally guess what made the noise!
As soon as he lowered his head, Harry immediately saw that there were many densely packed little spiders in the corridor behind him. Just looking at them would make people feel numb.
"Oh! I don't think Ron will come here."
Harry stood by the door, not even daring to lift his feet, for fear that he would step on dozens or twenty of them if he wasn't careful.
…
Not to mention Harry's side, Sirius, who entered first, had already cast his first spell against the big man.
As he waved his magic wand, several wooden crates stacked against the wall suddenly turned into a big black dog and rushed towards it quickly.
His Animagus form is the black dog, which is undoubtedly the most suitable transformation technique for him to use in actual combat.
After completing the transformation, he prepared a second spell, intending to strike hard while the other party was being restrained and disturbed by the big black dog.
But Sirius did not expect that the black dog transformed by the transfiguration spell did not attract the opponent's attention at all, but chased after little Victor who was trying to escape.
When he saw this, he simply gritted his teeth and wanted to directly release the powerful crushing spell in his hand.
Although the big guy was too close to little Victor, the curse was likely to affect the latter, but Sirius Black had never been a cautious guy.
In the current situation, in order to avoid letting something worse happen as much as possible, disabling the big man's mobility has obviously become a priority.
At least, that's what Sirius thought.
but…
"Click click click click."
A regular sound came from the door, and then he heard two slightly harsh words:
"Sir, leave this to us! Also, please leave the room to prevent accidental injuries from some ignorant children."
"Varied-"
With Sirius' vigilance, he shouldn't have been discovered until someone approached him from behind. But the door was too close to him, and the sound came out from behind him almost at the same time as the footsteps, which really startled him.
And when he turned back in a hurry, the wand in his hand trembled slightly, and he almost fed the ready-made crushing spell to the big spider standing not far away.
"You...ah! It's Maka's..."
"I'm 'Five'."
Maka's alienated Acromantula "Xiao Wu" said as he quickly came to Sirius' side. Then I heard it tap a few times with its sharp mouthparts, and at the same time, it tapped the ground back and forth with its long legs.
Sirius knew that it was the "language" of spider-like magical creatures—most of them relied on vibrations to communicate with their fellow creatures.
As expected, he quickly glanced back, and immediately saw large swaths of little spiders crawling into the warehouse.
This also made Sirius grin helplessly.
"'Please leave the room'?" he muttered under his breath, "How am I supposed to get out?"
However, even though he knew a lot about magical animals, he never expected that spiders' hearing was actually exceptionally sharp.
“Just walk out there—don’t worry, the kids will get out of the way.”
When he heard the big spider who called himself "Five" speak again, Sirius suddenly thought that he shouldn't stop yet. Although these spiders are powerful, they are still not in place. He should at least help contain them a little longer.
But when he turned back in a hurry, he was shocked to find that the big man who had become as tall as a troll was no longer chasing little Victor, but was running towards him and the big spider Xiao Wu.
If you observe carefully, you can also find that the guy's movements seem to have slowed down
Sirius knew that the spiders raised by Maka all had the innate magic to petrify others, and their power was definitely quite high.
"so… "
While he was thinking secretly, he threw out the crushing spell that he had prepared for a long time. After confirming that his spell had little effect, he decisively retreated to the door.
"...Is he another guy with high magic resistance?"
As there were more and more spiders in the room, the big man's movements also slowed down significantly.
Now, there is no need for him to intervene.
"Sirius?"
At the door, Harry saw him coming out and immediately gave him a confused look. From this angle, he couldn't see anything except facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes. He really didn't know what happened in the short period of time just now.
But Sirius just reached out and grabbed Harry's arm.
"Let's go! Let's stay away from here..."
"Hey! Wait, Sirius—"
Harry staggered when he pulled him like this, and he felt something bad at that time. But when he lowered his head, he saw that the reaction speed of those little spiders was much faster than he imagined.
"Ah! Sirius, let me say...how is that little Mr. Victor? Has his body been taken over by Haierbo?"
This is what Harry told Sirius when he first asked him to come down, saying that the Muggle who could ride a broomstick had probably had control of his body taken away by Herbo.
But now, Sirius, who was pulling Harry forward, shook his head.
"The possibility is very small," he said casually. "As soon as I entered, I saw him being attacked by the big man... But no matter what, let's wait for a while!"
At present, the warehouse and the corridor outside are crowded with spiders. It is not a battle that ordinary wizards can get involved in. At the moment, it is better to follow what "Little Five" said and leave there first.
"By the way, where is Maka? With such a big movement, he should have been here a long time ago, right?"
It wasn't until he had some free time that Sirius remembered this matter. It can be seen that although he acted very calmly from beginning to end, he was actually in a hurry.
"Oh, didn't I just say that?" Harry said as he walked, "He left St. Mungo's early this morning. It seems he only told Ginny... It is said that he will not be able to come back until early tomorrow morning at the earliest."
"Early tomorrow morning?"
Since he had never heard of this before, Sirius felt something was wrong now.
"Go get everyone together, immediately!"
After that, he quickened his pace and ran straight to the hall in front.
…
France, Chateau Blois.
Willy's room was still filled with a red color, and Maka was still waving his staff again and again, putting tiny light spots into the pre-processed potion bottles.
For nearly three hours, he had been doing the same thing over and over again, thousands of times.
But even so, the little red substance accumulated in the potion bottle may not even be one-fifth of what Maka had estimated in advance.
Will this step alone cost him more than fifteen hours
However, Maka seemed unusually calm about this, and was still doing what he was supposed to do seriously, without the slightest hint of anxiety.
And this kind of mentality was based on the situation where he was somewhat aware of the accident that happened in St. Mungory at this time.
The reason why Acromantula Xiaowu arrived at the scene in time just now was because Maka left it and some little guys in the potion preparation room. Of course, he also prepared a way for Xiao Wu to notify him.
Unfortunately, the accident happened much faster than Maka expected, so that he is still powerless now.
At this stage, it is absolutely impossible for him to go back. If he wants to go back and take a look, it will probably have to be fifteen hours later!
Taking a gentle breath, Maka continued to raise the staff calmly, without any disturbance of rhythm.
"Maka?"
Maybe it’s because I haven’t had emotions for a long time!
Willy's sensitivity was even much stronger than Hermione's. Just as Maka's breathing became slightly longer, she seemed to realize something and called him.
"Huh?" Maka's eyes did not move, she just smiled calmly, "It's okay... If you are sleepy, you can take a nap."
Maka's words failed to attract Willy's attention, but she didn't ask any more questions.
She gently twisted the silver-white hair on her shoulders and looked silently at Maka's face, a pair of clear pupils flashing with a faint look.
Of course, Maka felt Willy's gaze, but she could only smile again.
"I hope everything is okay over there at St. Mungo's..."
