harry potter book of crimes

When a meteorite fell into Hogwarts, the scene was shocking and spectacular, but only a handful of people actually saw it with their own eyes.

In this regard, Hermione and other friends have always been very regretful - they regretted that they did not feel the shock of the meteorite; they regretted even more that they could not stand with Maka at the school gate.

Before, fight to protect your campus.

But now, Hermione feels that at least the first half of the "regret" has been somewhat compensated... Although this method of compensation is actually not necessary!

"Protective spell! Everyone together - cast the protective spell!"

When she saw the huge black fireball emerging from the thick clouds and falling diagonally above the stronghold with frightening power, Hermione shouted loudly without even thinking.

Even though it was obviously impossible to cast a protective spell temporarily at this time, she didn't want to give up. Because she knew that the current rune barrier might not be able to block such a powerful attack.

Yes, just after the demon "Arrogance" was knocked away by Bulova's flame spear, he actually released a large amount of black flames all over his body and came back like a meteorite.

"Ultimate protection...impregnable...to resist the enemy..."

When Hermione decisively put her wand out of the lookout port, pointed diagonally in the direction of the black fireball in the sky and began to cast the compound protective spell, the silver rays of magic light connected into a line and quickly floated up into the sky, causing a sea of

The translucent protective film began to gradually expand inside the rune barrier.

And this was like the most obvious signal. Together with her shout just now, everyone around her also raised the wand in their hands.

Not long after, the scene of casting spells in the east tower was also seen by other wizards outside the tower. As more and more people participated in casting spells in the stronghold, it soon expanded to include several other towers.

Most of the stronghold including the tower.

Only more than ten seconds passed, and many more arc-shaped protective films were added to the original barrier, and the gaps gradually closed into one.

However, time is still too little after all...

"stop--"

Outside the stronghold, Delphi pursed her lips tightly and pointed her wand straight at the huge black fireball...or to be more precise, it was the demon "Pride" at the center of the fireball.

It's a pity that the opponent is already falling. Even if she can temporarily confuse the guy's soul, she can't stop the blow.

On the other hand, Blois on the side hurriedly set up several obstacles in the way of the falling fireball, barely reducing the opponent's speed by a bit.

"Boom!"

It's complicated to say, from the first person discovering the black fireball to the other party smashing down the rune barrier, everyone's reaction is different.

But in reality, it only lasts for more than ten seconds.

When the moment when the fireball touched the barrier finally arrived, the roaring sound spread quickly along with a violent impact. In an instant, black flames poured down the arc of the barrier like a waterfall, and the sound of cracking like a substance also followed.

Suddenly it passed everyone's ears.

The rune barrier, which had already withstood a large number of explosive attacks, managed to hold on for a few more seconds. It even failed to use up a lot of the magic power that it had accelerated and stored, and completely turned into magic fragments.

As for the protective spell film temporarily put up by everyone in the stronghold, although it could not be completely connected to completely cover the stronghold until the end, most of the impact and damage was absorbed by the newly broken rune barrier.

Instead, I managed to hold on for a few seconds longer.

Unfortunately, compared to the barrier supported by the huge rune pattern, the strength of the protective spell is still too insufficient.

"boom!"

Not long after, the wizards in the stronghold saw a figure suddenly falling from the black flames that covered the sky and the sun, and smashed into the ground in front of the Burrow.

"...Everyone in the stronghold should immediately withdraw from the original protective barrier as quickly as possible!"

Almost at the same time as the black figure fell, a clear and sweet voice immediately spread throughout the entire stronghold. However, the owner of this voice was not the familiar commander of the stronghold, Hermione Granger.

But——

"It's Sarah."

The first person to react was Luna, who was not far away from Hermione.

"Well," Hermione nodded, then walked around the wall pillar and glanced in the direction of the Burrow in the stronghold, and immediately saw the thin figure on the roof over there, "She wants to... run the alchemical protection in reverse

Formation?"

This is not the first time Sarah has done this. When she was in St. Mungo's Hospital, she used this method to trap Haierbo. But this time she faced the devil, but no one knew whether it would be possible or not.

Say... how long can she trap the other party.

You know, she had used up a lot of mental energy to resist the zombie army for so long, and it was definitely impossible to fully recover so quickly.

However, what Sarah said was correct.

"Listen to Miss Hohenheim - retreat immediately!"

Under the effect of the amplification spell, Hermione's voice immediately spread from the east tower, and she immediately urged everyone in the tower to start an emergency evacuation.

At the same time, in fact, the team leaders assigned to each team in the stronghold were naturally not idle. Leaving aside the evacuation matter, at least the place where the demon fell, ordinary wizards must be as far away as possible.

Most ordinary people are self-aware, and the volunteers who can come here to fight have understood over this period that such a gap in strength is difficult to fill with numbers.

It's just...of course, at times like this, there are always some people who can't make a choice.

"What happened just now...?"

At this moment, Ron, who happened to be hiding in a small tent not far from the Burrow, poked his head out from behind the door curtain after hearing the loud noise of the heavy object falling to the ground outside.

From his position, he could just see the place where the demon landed, but it was filled with dust and he could not see the other person's figure at this time.

Only the remaining black flames that were slightly tumbling and swaying in the smoke gave him a warning sign in his heart.

"Is that... Miss Geofine? No... the barrier? The stronghold was broken?"

Just look up and take another look, and you will see that the barrier has been replaced by a large black flame that is naturally dissipating, and what is above your head is a clear lead-gray cloud sky.

Ron subconsciously raised his legs, but his mind was still confused. After thinking for a while, he finally closed the curtain and retracted into the tent.

With his current state and the situation in front of him, he no longer has to run.

"...I can't run away anyway."

Ron muttered in the tent as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
