"boom"

Herbo's punch was like a sharp needle piercing a balloon, easily penetrating the magic shield carefully crafted by Hermione and her friends.

As the huge power spread, fine cracks quickly traveled on the surface, and the magic shield that was purely condensed by magic power suddenly collapsed and shattered inch by inch, and then turned into chaotic original magic power, flickering slightly and gradually dissipating.

Of course, such a scene cannot be seen outside the entrance of Spiral Town.

At that moment, Maka only saw the arc-shaped barrier exposed through the entrance shatter like a thin layer of glass. And along with the shock caused by that heavy blow, the already expanded aperture was also shattered.

The entrance "teared" open again.

At this moment, the entrance has been completely opened by Haierbo.

"Go for it!"

After destroying the first layer of magic shield that could be seen, Haierbo obviously still had no intention of breaking in personally. What he wanted was Maka's life, not the people in Spiral Town who were worthless to him.

of the refugees.

He was still looking straight in the direction of Maka, casually retracting his left fist, and then tilting his head slightly to issue the next order to the surrounding zombie men.

"McLean, aren't you ready to do something? There is only one layer of shield left!"

At the same time that Hai Erbo said these words, the army of living zombies had already obeyed the former's order and swarmed in from the newly opened entrance. But Maka just glanced at it with the corner of his eye, his gaze remained fixed.

There was no movement on Haierbo's body.

Obviously, as soon as his attention is distracted, Haierbo will aim at the flaw at that moment and swoop in instantly. Because like Maka, Haierbo's attention always stays on his side, even the shot he just waved.

He didn't move his eyes even a moment while punching.

And now, even if Haierbo only seizes the opportunity that lasts less than a second, the possibility that Maka will be quickly defeated in the high-speed fight afterwards will greatly increase.

"'Do something'?" As they looked at each other, Maka said slowly, "Well, why don't I think at all...will you give me a chance to 'do something' now?"

"

On the other side, Haierbo couldn't help but shrugged when he heard what he said.

"Really?" he said, "Oh, okay! I admit, if you just made a move, I would attack you without mercy. But now..."

Just as he was speaking, Haierbo suddenly spread his hands and his figure suddenly flashed. In the next second, he appeared on a high broken wall far away from the entrance of Spiral Town.

Immediately, he was seen standing high above, looking down at Maka, who almost followed his gaze to where he appeared, and spoke again:

"I decided to give you a chance!"

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Maka raised her head, stared at him and said, "Is it possible that you are planning to use your promise of safety to the refugees in that town in exchange for my obedient submission? I'm sorry, you are so important to me.

No credibility at all!”

"Then you plan to watch all the people you protect die, and then play a fun game of hide-and-seek with me?"

Haierbo chuckled and shook his head slightly at the end.

"At least in my opinion, such a promise still has a lot of credibility. You see! It's useless for me to kill such a group of incompetent people, right? Even if I let them go today, most of them will be killed in the future.

People probably won’t live long, but at least there are always some lucky people who can survive, right?”

It can be heard that Haierbo seems to be telling the truth this time. As far as the current battle situation is concerned, Maka is being stared at by the opponent. Even if Spiral Town is being continuously attacked by the zombie army, he can only look aside.

In a stalemate with Haierbo, he allowed the zombies to attack the second layer of magic shield.

That piece of protection is something that Maka has personally improved before. In terms of strength, it must be much higher than the outer shield that was shattered by Haierbo's punch just now. However, no matter how strong the shield is, it will definitely

It is gradually lost under the constant encroachment of large swarms of "ants".

Even if Haierbo doesn't take action, it will still be broken when it's time to break.

"Why, do you still want to hold on? No matter how much you wait, there is no chance of a turning point. Give up as soon as possible!"

Haierbo clenched his fist casually and stopped staring at Maka. Instead, he savored the wonderful power he had now.

Time passed bit by bit, and the army of zombies who had received the order to attack Spiral Town no longer harassed Maka, but crowded past him one by one as they did not long ago.

But the more there was no need to fight anymore, the more anxious the air between Maka and Haierbo became.

Both of them looked calm, but in fact, their glances passing each other at that moment seemed to sparks from friction.

About half an hour passed like this, and as the foggy night became darker and darker, a very subtle magic tremor suddenly came out from the broken space channel, making Maka and Haierbo's eyes look at each other at the same time.

Condensate.

There is no doubt that this is a sign that the second layer of magic shield is about to be breached.

"Oh, it's time?" Haierpo waved his hands towards Maka, "Then...McLean, tell me your choice!"

"My choice...?"

Maka looked at Haierbo's figure and murmured to herself.

…

"Crack"

There was no sound when the magic shield shattered, but when Harry stood at the top of the tower and looked up at the cracks in the sky that were spreading and intertwining, he seemed to hear bursts of cracking sounds.

The rupture of the remaining magic shield meant that the army of zombies that had already besieged the outside of Spiral Town for half an hour would soon pour in and destroy and occupy the entire town.

.

Harry didn't know how Maka was doing now. He just insisted on trusting the other party, believing that the other party could survive the double attack of Haierbo and the living zombies.

After all, at this point, all he can do is trust Maka.

"Is it coming?" Harry held the Sword of Gryffindor tightly and said to himself silently, "Maka asked me to come in first and stay here to wait. He must have a plan... Stay calm!"

To this day, he no longer has such thoughts as "I wish I could have been truly recognized by the Sword of Gryffindor". It is useless to regret a power that is not your own.

As long as you can do your best at the most critical moment without leaving any regrets, that's enough.

The moment this idea flashed through Harry's mind, along with an invisible turbulent flow of magic power, the last layer of magic shield in the sky turned into fragments that shimmered with magic light and fell one after another.

For a moment, it was like a brilliant rain of light falling over the town, cruelty mixed with brilliance.
