"Boom"

Mag, who had just exited the Dragon Cave, heard the loud noise and felt the vibration under his feet, and was swallowed up by the dust that suddenly spewed out from the entrance of the cave.

Not only that, because the part of the dragon's nest near the cave entrance was added later, it collapsed amidst the violent impact and vibration. Mag, who realized the danger when the dust was flying, immediately retreated until the outer edge of the cave collapsed.

After she stopped and the dust that covered the jungle area gradually settled, she brought the dust all over her body and approached the entrance of the dragon's lair that was blocked by rocks.

She was obviously still very worried about Maka who was staying inside with Haierbo.

Just now, she saw a suspicious figure from the castle and came over to check. Fortunately, Halbo was already talking to Maka at that time.

What she saw at the edge of the Forbidden Forest was actually Maka's back.

And when she, like Haierbo, hesitated at the entrance of the cave for a moment, and then was about to go in and take a look, she was suddenly stopped by Maka's words.

It had to be said that from the moment she saw the unknown figure in the castle to now, things happened too fast and suddenly. Even though she was somewhat aware of the general situation through some signs, she found that she seemed to be unable to do anything.

Why did she, Minerva McGonagall, return to Hogwarts alone? Was it just to have this campus and this castle be destroyed and buried together when Hogwarts encountered a crisis?

No, that's absolutely not the case.

If possible, she still hopes that she can do her best to protect this place that is kind to her, instead of dying meaninglessly without being able to do anything.

Yes, for McGonagall, being buried in Hogwarts after her death may be the best ending. But such a thing should never happen now.

"That's right... there must be something I can do if I should do something."

After standing in front of the collapsed dragon's nest and thinking silently for a while, Mag looked up at the blocked cave entrance, then suddenly turned around and hurried away towards the castle.

…

When Magwu was thinking to himself about what he should do, the dragon's nest at the entrance was buried by collapsed earth and rocks, and it was still in a dusty state.

Because there is no wind, the dust raised by the cave is naturally more difficult to settle to the ground, so that the already dark cave suddenly becomes darker.

Fortunately, even if the environment becomes difficult to see, it will not hinder Maka, who can detect the surrounding situation through magic induction.

"Helbo, how does it feel to be suppressed by the Bewitched Monument again?"

At this moment, Maka stood there with her eyes closed and asked casually.

And just as he said, the roar of the heavy object hitting the ground just now came from the Bewitching Monument he summoned.

Due to the smashing of this black stone tablet, part of the rune pattern he set up was inevitably damaged. But compared to this large-coverage pattern, the local damage did not affect the overall operation.

Excessive imbalance.

Even though some magic chains disappeared, most of them were still firmly bound to Haierbo's body, and were pressed under the giant monument along with him.

"Does it feel like"

A few seconds after Maka asked casually, Haierbo's voice finally came from the ground. However, due to the obstruction of soil and stones, his voice seemed slightly muffled.

"Well, I really miss it... I have a very annoying feeling." Haierbo, who was suppressed, said slowly, "To be honest, the boredom I felt after being sealed by that Slytherin guy seems to be a little bit more controllable.

It keeps overflowing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maka felt the ground shake with a "bang", causing the huge Bewitchment Monument to sway slightly.

"Helpo," Maka paused for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you feel bored, then come out! Although this set of traps is indeed set for you, I also had the intention of suppressing you again.

The result of designing with all your heart and mind. But..."

Just as he was talking, Maka suddenly shook his head.

"It's a pity that in the final analysis, this is just something created for you who have not yet become a 'demon'. Well, although these words seem a bit off from my own words, but now, I don't think you will still

I was suppressed by this thing."

"Well?"

Hearing what Maka said, Haierbo couldn't help but let out a light sigh, and then hummed and said:

"Being able to admit one's failure so frankly is a rare quality. I have lived for so long and I have never seen a few people who can do this."

Before she finished speaking, Maka felt the ground tremble again, and not long after, she saw a strong arm covered with chains suddenly stretched out from under the Monument of Bewitchment, lifting the monument up little by little.

"McLean, to be honest, I feel a little sorry for you. You may have discovered it yourself a long time ago, but I still want to say that you are really not suitable for taking the path of 'arrogance'. If you can

Like Slytherin who really controlled the Monument of Bewitchment back then, maybe I will have to work harder to get up from the ground today!"

While Haierbo said these words, he slowly stood up again against the extremely heavy monument, with a large number of looming magic chains hanging on his body.

After he stood up straight with his shoulders against the stone monument, he looked at Maka in front of him and continued:

"Do you know? This magic circle you designed has really put a lot of burden on me. If it were me before I got this body, I might have to spend hundreds of years underground.

It’s time… Oh, you know, I really don’t like wasting time like that!”

As he spoke, he suddenly exerted force on his waist and removed the giant monument from his shoulders with a bang. Then he looked at Maka again, as if he was curious:

"Why, didn't you plan to take action while I was getting up? Maybe... there's no telling what kind of injuries you could leave on me?"

"hiss"

Maka frowned and remained motionless. She just leaned on her staff and looked at Helbo calmly and said:

"I noticed that you really talked a lot today, didn't you?"

"Oh, are there really that many?" Haierbo slightly raised the corners of his mouth and shook his head. "Maybe it's because the moment I have been looking forward to for nearly two thousand years is finally coming! When I feel better, I can speak naturally.

That’s a lot, isn’t it?”

At this point, he was suddenly shaken, and then he jerked his arms as if to tear something apart. With a silent storm of magic, the magic chain that was tightly wrapped around his body was broken in an instant.

Most of it.

Immediately, the scene of being bound and suppressed just now seemed like a huge joke he had played on Maka.

"After all, there won't be many people who can chat with me like this in the future... I'm afraid!"
