harry potter book of crimes

As this defensive battle continued, two hours had passed.

Thanks to the counterattack of the rune array in the stronghold and the coordinated fighting by Delphi and the other three people outside the stronghold, a large number of living corpses had gradually accumulated outside the magic barrier that exuded a faint silver glow.

However, this time the zombie army is not only large in number, but also becomes quite difficult to deal with under the control of "Arrogance". It can be said that judging from the current battle situation, perhaps this battle has just begun.

However, these living corpses are of course tireless, but Delphi, Harry and Blois will always get tired if they continue to fight fiercely outside.

Especially Harry, compared to the other two, he is only good at close combat. As long as he holds the Sword of Gryffindor in his hand, his current combat effectiveness will not be weaker than Mr. Blois.

But this time, facing this group of enemies who were extremely numerous and would almost certainly choose to self-destruct before losing their ability to fight, he was really at a loss.

Even if he could go all out and take the risk to activate the true power of Gryffindor's sword like he did against the giant demon last time, it would be impossible to kill all this army of living zombies in a short period of time. What's more, in these living zombies

Behind the corpse, there is a demon watching everyone secretly.

Harry also knew very well that this defensive battle would never end in a short while.

Therefore, Harry fought very hard, and he was also the most tired among the three people at the moment.

"laugh--"

When the bright sharp blade suddenly passed between the neck of a living corpse, Harry, who was leaning over and half hanging on the Firebolt, immediately used force to pull his body back to the broom, and immediately pulled it up

The broomstick was raised dozens of feet.

The next moment, a "boom" was heard below, followed by the impact of airflow, and an extremely uncomfortable cold feeling.

He no longer had to look back, because he knew that there would be a black flame rising there at this moment - this thing that looked similar to Safina's black flame was obviously different from ordinary flames, and actually had

There was a deep chill that seemed to touch the soul.

You can have this feeling without actually touching it. As you can imagine, it would be no joke if you were really burned.

"Huh...huh..."

After controlling the broom to fly parallel to the ground again, Harry, who had just held his breath and dived, gasped a few times. There was no way, although he had an unusual talent in Quidditch, but now he was fighting after all.

After nearly two hours of non-stop fighting, he felt deeply exhausted.

but……

"Crack-"

Another piece of pure white cold air quickly floated down from the air and landed on a large group of living corpses not far away. In an instant, the movements of those living corpses slowed down, and they were even completely frozen into ice sculptures. Harry suddenly

Seeing that, while feeling the power of Delphi, he was still a little unwilling.

Therefore, even if he was really tired, he still had to choose to continue fighting - at least not to hold back the other two.

So, when he saw Mr. Blois on the other side controlling a flaming dragon to spit out flames, he immediately swooped down again.

Even with his current fighting method, he can cut down at most two or three living zombies with one sword. But at least the enemy will kill one less one. As long as every living zombie less rushes to the protective barrier, it can become a stronghold.

The protective barrier further reduces stress.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Harry suddenly felt a chaotic air current above his head suddenly pressing down. He hurriedly looked up and saw that Delphi was controlling her giant ice bird flying towards him.

Seeing this, Harry quickly moved the broom handle to the side, drew an arc in mid-air, and walked around Delphi who was standing on the back of the ice bird.

"Is there a problem?"

Although there was a look of tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed, he still held the sword upside down and asked firmly.

"It has been almost two hours. Miss Granger just gave us a signal that we can leave the battlefield here and take a rest - Miss Geophyn and Mr. Longbottom have already joined the stronghold's counterattack."

"Have they rested?"

Harry looked back, and sure enough he saw a figure covered in black flames flying up from the platform at the top of the east tower. Although it did not come out of the barrier, it had already begun to spray a large number of souls outside.

flame.

Since the rune array designed by Hermione cannot be controlled as finely as Sarah's alchemical barrier, once it is activated, people will definitely be unable to enter or exit.

Fortunately, the curse magic inside can be penetrated without any obstacles. This is one of its advantages compared to the alchemical barrier.

It can be seen that the counterattack in the stronghold is still going on, and the roar of explosive spells is still continuous and loud.

"But..." After seeing the scene, he turned around again, looked at Delphi and said, "But you and Mr. Blois still seem to have some energy left, so why not hold on for a little longer! Hermione

As I said before, the longer the second barrier is maintained, the better - there are too many enemies!"

However, Delphi just stared at his face and shook his head.

"I can indeed continue, and Mr. Blois should be fine too - summoning is more suitable for such a long-lasting battle. But Mr. Potter, you need to rest."

"It's okay for me!" Upon hearing this, Harry quickly raised the sword in his right hand, shook it, and said loudly, "Don't worry, I'm not tired yet."

However, his fatigue could not be hidden from Delphi's eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the latter insisting and shaking his head again.

"Mr. Potter, you have to understand your value to this battle." Delphi reminded calmly, "The devil hiding in the dark may appear at any time, and your most important task is to preserve your energy.

, when the time comes, block it, and defeat it as much as possible with the cooperation of Mr. Blois and I! Neither I nor his ability to damage demons is as strong as your sword. Do you understand? Think about the previous one.

Partner'."

Although Harry wholeheartedly hoped to kill more enemies, he had to admit that Delphi was obviously right. After being persuaded by the other party, he could only take another look at the group of living corpses below,

With a flick of the broom handle, he suddenly turned around and headed towards the west side of the stronghold.

The stronghold is temporarily inaccessible, and seeing that there are the least number of living corpses there, they should be able to find a place to rest for a while.

At the same time, Blois, who was behind, saw the two of them planning to leave, and immediately caught up with them - he only left his flame dragon here.
