"No, something is wrong in the south -"

Delphi, who was sitting in front of the window, eating and paying close attention to the battle situation, suddenly stood up. Her words naturally reminded Blois and Harry immediately.

Especially Harry.

Although he had not rested well at all, and his whole body still had a strong sense of exhaustion, he immediately opened his eyes and "bounced" from the dirty broken sofa as if he was electrocuted.

, took two steps forward and hurriedly came behind Delphi.

"That is?"

This place was not far from the battlefield. With just one glance, he had already seen clearly the current situation at the stronghold. Moreover, he also saw the situation that made Delphi suddenly whisper "something is wrong".

In fact, you can see from the window looking south. I don’t know when, but a bunch of black flames dozens of feet high were ignited among the living corpses on the south side of the stronghold. Although it is not yet clear what happened.

It was true, but just by looking at the figure of Safina who was rushing from the east tower, we knew that the black flames could only be living corpses...or rather, they were changes caused by the demon "Arrogance" behind them.

"...It's a devil, maybe a devil has appeared! Let's rush there now!"

After seeing the situation clearly, Harry was about to run towards the door, even holding his Firebolt in his hand. As for the Sword of Gryffindor, it was natural that he would never leave his hand.

However, at this moment, Delphi did not let him run out.

"Wait!" Delphi reacted very quickly and grabbed Harry's hand, stopping him before he could run a few steps. "Listen - it doesn't matter if it's a demon or not.

Appeared, the first one to come up to you will definitely not be you! Your role should only be the final blow that determines victory... Stay here to rest for a while, Mr. Blois and I will go to a closer place to see

Look, come back after you see the situation."

The unexpected development at the moment caught everyone off guard, and Delphi was actually not too far behind. So after she finished these instructions, without saying anything more, she let go of Harry and took a step forward.

He jumped out of the broken window next to him.

It was as if she was sure that Harry would listen to her.

But it is true that when Blois also hurried out from the door, Harry stood in front of the window and looked at the two figures leaving quickly. He just hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously took a step forward. But in the end, he

Still taking that step back, he pursed his lips and sat down on the old chair where Delphi had sat before.

Looking towards the stronghold from here, you can have a panoramic view of most of the Burrow stronghold. This is why Delphi discovered the scene of rising black flames so quickly just now.

"well--"

Because both of them had already left, Harry finally couldn't help but sigh in frustration - it turned out that he was the one holding him back in today's battle.

…

In fact, when Hermione suddenly sent an order to Safina to go to the south to help, it was not actually the sudden outbreak of black flames. At that time, the black flames had not yet appeared, and she was indeed simply aware of the number of living corpses on the south side of the stronghold.

It seems to be growing faster than in the north.

Of course, now that I think about it, that might just be a sign before the black flame appears!

"boom!"

Safina, who hurriedly came to the south tower, still stayed within the barrier, but as soon as she reached the border, she waved her wand without saying a word.

In an instant, a jet-black flame separated from her body. With a finger of the wand in her hand, it shot straight towards the black flame rising into the sky like a giant bonfire.

Then the two collided, causing a violent explosion.

And it was in the middle of the explosion that Safina felt that the two flames were entangled with each other. In fact, neither side had any advantage.

At the same time, Delphi and Mr. Blois finally arrived quickly near the south tower.

"Isn't it 'arrogant'?" Delphi was still standing on the giant ice bird as before, looking down at the black flames below and frowning, "Or to be more precise, it just hasn't appeared yet.

.”

At present, although Safina's black flames are entangled with the opponent, Delphi still keenly discovered that the opponent's black flames actually still appear from the living corpses, and even when they are far away, they explode with the living corpses.

The situation is similar.

The only difference is that...the soul flames formed from the active self-destruction of the living corpses are obviously much longer lasting. And...even Delphi is not sure whether there will be anything more disturbing in this black flame next.

People are wary of changes.

"Do you want to take action?"

Blois, who also stopped not far away, asked, and Delphi couldn't help but hesitate... In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, she thinks that this anomaly should be left to Safina to deal with it first.

a little better.

Just like the "Rage" demon is to Harry, Safina, who has obtained the power of the "Pride" rule from Maka, may be more suitable to face today's battle.

Of course, this cannot be said to be absolute, and it is just Delphi's own speculation and conjecture.

Therefore, conjectures are conjectures. How to do it specifically needs to be tried in a more practical and reliable way.

"Okay," Delphi nodded, "But... Anyway, let's test it out first."

The magic wave coming from the front became chaotic due to Safina's attack just now. The two black flames were intertwined together. It seemed that neither of them had much to do against the other, but they were entangled together and became more dangerous.

As a result, near the black flames that were constantly rolling against each other, more living corpses were gradually involved. As explosions sounded one after another from the black whirlpool of fire waves, it was obviously becoming wider and wider.

It gets bigger and bigger, and the momentum becomes more and more alarming.

Soon Safina realized that it was actually gradually out of her control.

"boom!"

Blois suddenly waved his wand, trying to use his limited understanding of soul rules and soul magic to try to dispel the terrifying whirlpool of black flames that was gradually rising. However, the effect was pitifully small.

However, the soul flame is not an ordinary flame, and it certainly cannot be extinguished using conventional methods.

"Miss Geofine?" Delphi frowned and shouted towards Safina on the other side of the tower.

At this moment, Safina actually understood why Delphi called her, but in the end she could only shake her head - there was no way, most of the black flame vortex at the moment came from the living corpse side.

, and will not be controlled by her at all.

"What to do...soul flame...fire? Fuel?"

Suddenly, Delphi's eyes suddenly lit up as he muttered a few words to himself.

"Yes, fuel!"
