"Call the gods to protect you!"

Neville didn't know what the real Patron Saint Curse was, because even Maka hadn't studied it to that extent yet. Although it was said that there was a powerful wizard in ancient times who could summon a Patron Saint as big as a giant,

But after all, no one has really seen it.

And all Neville knew was his lion patronus.

With a wave of the wand, the silver light mist swirled and flowed, and a silver-like lion rushed out of it, swinging its smooth mane.

It stomped down on all four legs and cracked the ground. It ran like a gust of shining wind, turning and flipping around, as majestic and majestic as a real king.

After Maka's "rock-lifting training", Neville's mental strength has indeed increased a lot, so much so that his lion patron saint seems to have become more condensed.

"Neville, be careful!"

Just as he was concentrating on feeling the power of the Patronus, Hermione in the distance suddenly called him. And then, he saw several cards suddenly flying towards his location from various directions.

After being stunned for a moment, Neville immediately waved his hand. The silver lion running in front immediately turned around and turned back quickly.

When it passed by him, Neville jumped onto the silver lion's back, and then the latter carried him into the air and flew to high places.

Almost the next second he left there, a rune card quietly fell to the ground. In an instant, the ground sank several inches without warning, forming a circular crack like a spider web.

"Hermione! Are you serious?"

Neville glanced at the crack in mid-air and couldn't help shouting.

"The enemy will not 'fake' you!" From a distance, Hermione shouted mercilessly, "Do you remember what I said? I will launch a sneak attack on any of you anytime, anywhere. The only way I can

The way to stop is to defeat me! What are you doing in a daze? If you don't move quickly, don't think you can escape the rules of gravity by flying in the air!"

As he spoke, Neville felt his whole body sink suddenly, and the silver lion fell down with him.

"Why!"

He exclaimed, and then quickly let the patron saint struggle to escape from the range imposed by the gravity rules.

But it must be said that flying higher, although still unable to avoid the influence of Hermione's gravity trap, is still somewhat useful. At least this height gave him a chance to react and break free.

After hurriedly flying to the side, Neville hurriedly looked up, down, left, and right, and when he saw two cards flying towards him at an extremely fast speed, he couldn't help but wailed.

"no solution anymore."

He no longer hesitated and used his mind to control the silver lion under him to fly towards Hermione.

"That's it!"

Hermione nodded, but her hands did not stop at all. She waved her wand and controlled the two rune cards at the same time, chasing after Neville.

Obviously, in the final analysis, the rune card was just a piece of paper coated with stone powder, and its flying speed was undoubtedly faster than Neville's patron saint. In order to avoid falling into the influence of the gravity rules again, Neville could only keep flying.

He dashed left and right to dodge, but he almost got hit several times.

Fortunately, Hermione wasn't too far away from him. After more than ten seconds of continuous dodging, Neville was finally close to him.

Seeing that there was only a hundred feet of distance left, he immediately accelerated again, gave up avoiding, and started sprinting towards Hermione's position.

Unfortunately, even if he increased his speed again, it was still not as fast as the rune cards. The two cards almost turned into two gray shadows behind him, getting closer and closer to him.

No matter what, she would catch up with him before he rushed to Hermione.

If he falls into the range of two gravity runes at the same time, he will be in serious trouble!

But it was at this moment that Neville suddenly waved the wand in his hand behind him, and a blazing flame instantly engulfed the two cards that were chasing after him.

"I won!"

When a victorious smile appeared on Neville's face, the lion patron saint under him also raised his front paws. Next, all he had to do was put his paws gently on Hermione's shoulders!

However, Neville noticed that Hermione was also smiling

"Who said you won?"

Before he finished speaking, Neville felt an invisible force suddenly exerted on his body, and he was crushed to the ground along with his Silver Lion Patronus.

"Did you lose?" Hermione squatted in front of Neville and said with a smile, "As a penalty, you have to lift the largest stone for a long time!"

After that, she waved her wand to cancel the rules of gravity, and then walked briskly toward the yard, leaving Neville, who was about to cry without tears, lying on the back of the silver lion with a grimace and a long sigh.

"Is this really combat training?" He said very depressedly, "Why does she look so happy?"

"Of course she will be happy!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in front of him, causing Neville to raise his head and look forward.

"Ron?"

"Well," Ron, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward, patted Neville on the shoulder and said, "Hermione could have fought you on a broom just now, but she just stood there and

Do you think she can be unhappy after you clean it up?"

"Oh! Ron, can you stop being so serious?"

Neville complained and got up. But before he could say anything else, the two of them heard Harry shouting from upstairs in the wizard tower:

"Come here! Come here quickly! I just... felt some strange movements!"

After hearing what he said, Neville and Ron couldn't help but look at each other.

"Ron, come up!"

Neville urged him to turn over and ride on the back of the silver lion, then turned around and flew back.

…

A moment later, in a certain room on the second floor of the Wizard Tower.

"Harry, what's going on?"

When Neville and Ron arrived, they found that most of their friends had already arrived.

"Wait a minute, let's wait until everyone is here and we can talk together," Harry said with a frown, holding the Sword of Gryffindor, "Anyway, I'm afraid this isn't a good thing, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

Not long after, when almost everyone gathered in this room, Harry looked at Ginny, who was the last one to come in, and said:

"How about it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ginny, who was standing at the door, shook her head slightly.

"Maybe...not here."

"Really?"

Harry's brows frowned even more when he heard this. However, everyone still didn't know what he meant, and they all looked back and forth between him and Ginny with confusion on their faces.

"Harry, what happened?" Hermione couldn't help but ask.

When Harry saw her asking, he hesitated and pursed his lips.

"I just...suddenly sensed something change in the distance...very, very far away." He said, "And I feel like...it's Maka!"
