harry potter book of crimes

Anyone would be tired after fighting for several hours continuously, and Maka was no exception.

It lasted from afternoon to night, and even Harry, who had been given superhuman strength by the Sword of Gryffindor, fell to the ground several times and had to rest, but Maka persisted.

However, those living corpses are like endless cockroaches, not only numerous in number, but also constantly getting stronger.

Even if you can't see many changes in a short period of time, after a few hours, anyone who is not blind will probably be able to see that their appearance is very different from the beginning.

It can be seen that the pitch-black substance that gradually covered the bodies of the living corpses is no longer limited to the body surface. The deep integration has significantly improved the physique of the living corpses.

As far as modern magic is concerned, except for a few spells with particularly high lethality such as the Exploding Curse and the Killing Curse, it is already difficult to cause sufficient damage to them.

However, what is worrying is not only the enemy's anti-magic ability. Due to the increase in physical strength, the marching speed of the zombie army is also gradually getting faster. Even if Maka is resisting head-on all the time, it is only barely possible.

The advancing pace of the zombie swarm was suppressed to the same extent as the evacuation team.

And if it continues like this, the war will spread to Muggle cities that have not yet completed evacuation operations.

Fortunately, there is still good news.

"...Huh? On the contrary, the right arm that was completely smashed has recovered first?"

After squeezing the magic power with some difficulty and once again freezing a batch of living corpses into "popsicles", Maka, who was panting and retreating, suddenly paused, and then slowly raised her right hand slightly unexpectedly.

Seeing his palms gradually clenching into fists in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was still quite inconvenient to be unable to move both arms. Relying entirely on mental thoughts to cast spells was not only very easy to fatigue, but also not conducive to accuracy adjustment.

and mana savings.

To be honest, if modern wands were not deficient in materials and craftsmanship, their lightness, slenderness, and accuracy would definitely be superior to the ancient long wands.

"I really hope that one day I can completely put aside these troubles and calm down to do some research!"

While Maka was complaining in her heart, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and quickly drew a cooling rune in front of her by waving her fingers.

The next moment, the mist-like cold air suddenly condensed on his fingertips, turning into a sharp white ice edge.

"If we don't be more careful, the magic power will really be insufficient... However, although this can be regarded as 'applying what you have learned', I really didn't expect that there would be a day when I would hold a dagger again and fight! Anyway, at least at this point

Go ahead, I still have to say 'thank you' to Narayamira."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Maka kicking his foot violently as he gently held the piece of ice, and then suddenly disappeared from the place.

"Maka...what speed is that?"

Harry, who was being left behind to rest temporarily with his arms held by two Aurors, couldn't help but sigh after seeing that scene.

"If only I could become that fast"

This is obviously not completely impossible, but the prerequisite is to gain further recognition from the Sword of Gryffindor and let it lend him more power.

Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword in his hand tighter.

"laugh!"

The ice edge that Maka condensed with the help of the cooling rules is naturally far less sharp than Gryffindor's sword. Not only that, compared to ordinary blades, it is even relatively blunt.

However, every living corpse that is scratched by it will be quickly invaded by the terrifying cold air attached to it.

Under Maka's high-speed movement, the ice edges continuously passed through the group of living zombies. Although the efficiency of knocking down the enemies was not as high as the previous large swaths of cold current and the direct shooting of the beam of the power of rules, it was not too slow.

Where to go.

The clearing team, which could no longer participate in the battle, watched from the rear as Maka kept flashing and disappearing behind each enemy. The result was that the enemies fell one after another, one after another.

For a time, the sound of "thump thump" falling to the ground among the army of living corpses was heard endlessly.

After Maka eliminated some of the living corpses at the forefront in one dash and buried them deep in the ground as he had done before, he retreated again with a slight gasp.

"Kingsley! How far is it from Sittingbourne? How far is the evacuation work over there?"

Seeing Maka turning her head and asking loudly, Kingsley immediately replied:

"There are still about two miles (3.2km) left. According to the current speed, we will enter the edge of the city in about half an hour! As for the evacuation progress... it should be about the same. It will be in time!"

But Maka was not happy at all when she heard the news.

"We can barely get here, not to mention there are some small neighborhoods along the way. There is also the town of Faversham between Canterbury and Sittingbourne..."

Not only that, because Maka's magic power is about to bottom out, and in order to save magic power, the efficiency of blocking the living zombies will naturally be reduced to a greater or lesser extent.

In other words, the enemy's traveling speed will definitely increase instead of decreasing from here on.

But just when Maka frowned and thought it was difficult, she heard Kingsley shouting at him again:

"Don't worry! There is new news coming from Spiral Town just now, saying that a group of volunteer teams composed of refugees have rushed to Faversham Town! Lupine has also allocated a sufficient number of door keys to them.

, with the assistance of the Muggle army, the efficiency should not be much lower!"

"Volunteer team?"

When Maka heard this, she couldn't help but be startled for a moment, and several familiar figures suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Not to mention anyone else, Hermione must be in there!"

Thinking of this, to be honest, he didn't know whether he should give himself a "knowing smile" for having guessed this in an instant.

…

Facts have proved that Maka still understands Miss Granger's thoughts very well.

A few hours ago, when Hermione was thinking about what else she could do in the square, she quickly associated Delphi, who had not gone to the front line, with the front line where the war was intense.

However, although it was her deepest wish to fight at the front, she also knew very well that her own strength was not suitable for charging into battle.

And after thinking about it for a moment... what else can she do, the answer seems to be obvious.

After that, upon the suggestion of Delphi, who overheard the conversation between the members of the Wizarding Duel Club beforehand, Hermione immediately decided to gather together all the wizards who were willing to risk their lives to take action to find Lupin's consent and support.

I don't know whether it was because she saw Delphi walking with her, or because the evacuation speed was always insufficient, but Hermione's proposal was passed quickly.

So, after a few hours of preparation...

"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow the guidance and proceed in an orderly manner without crowding."
