harry potter book of crimes

Perhaps when Hermione formulated the previous plan, what she expected in her heart was to use the situation of mutual confrontation to get as much "intelligence information" as possible that they currently lacked the most.

When facing an enemy that must be faced, the disparity in strength may still have room for improvement, but the current situation of being almost ignorant of one's opponent must be the most fatal.

Hermione, who is smart and keen, knows this very well.

And she also knew that in order to "chisel" even a little bit of usable information from that mysterious woman who seemed to have an impeccable aura all over her body, the first thing she had to ensure was that a relative relationship could be formed between the two parties.

Waiting situation.

For this reason, even if she has to do so reluctantly, even if she has to risk her life, she has already decided, no matter how high the price is!

Because this was all she could think of, the most likely way to capture the flickering chance of victory when facing such a powerful enemy.

Unfortunately, from beginning to end, none of them could serve as an "opponent" and truly stand firm in front of the witch Kern.

In the end, it was Maka who finally achieved this.

Speaking of which, this situation seemed to be part of Hermione's plan. After all, what she had done before was such a plan, and it even made Harry feel entangled for a while.

But in fact, she didn't really want to do it herself - if it was something she could do by herself, how could she put her hope in a place that she couldn't even control?

Maka is back, but Maka is not back yet!

Perhaps Hermione has been vaguely aware of this since "this one" Maka came back from the ice coffin. His indifference to everyone seemed to always be only at the edge of the lingering distance.

Feeling is the best proof.

But, there is no way.

Hermione also had a hunch that maybe in the end, he would be the only one everyone could rely on...and only him.

If this is called "trust"...

Crunch.

boom!

Amidst a sudden loud noise like thunder on the ground, Hermione, who was slightly hanging her head in the corner, slowly closed her eyes.

"so be it!"

Her soft sigh was hidden in the roar, seeming to have a hint of loneliness and unwillingness, but it also seemed that she was finally... relieved.

…

Not everyone can bear the pressure of shouldering the fate of countless people easily. During this time, even those with strong beliefs like Miss Granger have been almost breathless under the weight of that burden.

Peng!

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!

The bright and deadly emerald green bloomed frequently in front of Maka. When the crystals floated and scattered, the shadow of death had already enveloped the entire area where he was.

With just his first attack, Kern had completely turned the surrounding area into a restricted area of ​​life. The dust spots that looked like stars, sparks, and more like fireflies were the most intense speckles that Maka had ever seen.

A beautiful cold killer - this was something that even Harry, who had fought with her once before, could detect it. Of course he wouldn't be unaware of it.

However, compared to the state of just circling around Kern himself, at this moment, it is already full of murderous intent.

Witch Kern is not a kind person to begin with. Although she seemed to have repeatedly withheld her hand from Hermione and the others before this, in fact, it was just that Hermione and others did not pose a real threat to her plan.

Hermione's idea was actually right. If someone could really hinder her, she wouldn't mind reshaping her position and treating that person as an enemy equal to her own.

As for her enemies... she doesn't have a good temper! Decisiveness in killing has always been the basic principle that every winner must possess in the era of frequent battles.

Otherwise, even though she was not willing to do so, she would not have been given such a terrifying and intimidating title as "Goddess of Death"...

"You carry a magic circle item to dispel magic, but let me tell you, this is probably not a good choice."

In front of the aisle, the witch Kern, who was standing at the small round table in the center of the auditorium, was looking at Maka here coldly, and said calmly:

"This may be able to weaken any magic that attacks you to the greatest extent, even the magic of rules. After all, the rules activated by the wizard are not the natural laws of heaven and earth, and they cannot be separated from the laws that require magic to be activated.

The basic principle."

"But," Kern said like an ordinary professor at a magic school, standing there casually but unquestionably, "by doing this, you are also handing over all your counterattack opportunities - will

When all the magic power in your area has been emptied, how can you put up any decent resistance?"

You cannot use magic without magic power. This is an iron rule that all wizards...no, all magical creatures must abide by since ancient times.

Just like Voldemort back then, when all the magic in the area was dispersed by Maka's formation, even someone like Gilderoy Lockhart could step on his face.

also the same.

This formation was originally supposed to be used as a trap, but now, Maka has used it on herself!

"But at least the effect is pretty good, isn't it?"

Maka, who was still shrouded in the shadow of death, remained calm.

"Level 3 rules!" He looked around at the terrifying spots of light that were still surrounding him within a certain range, admiring them and saying with admiration, "I'm afraid I will never be able to touch this level of power in my life.

But even if it’s just a few seconds or ten seconds, I’ve blocked it, right?”

"But you threw away your possibilities for it."

After all, as a senior on the path of magic, it can be seen that Kern still admires a latecomer like Maka who is talented enough.

It's a pity that it seems that they are destined to be enemies with each other.

"Peng!"

"Peng!" "Peng!"

In a cluster of dazzling green light that suddenly burst out, Maka's figure was completely submerged in an instant, and then there was a second cluster, and a third cluster... Each cluster was as gorgeous as fireworks in the midsummer night sky.

Just like a magnet, dispelling magic also depends on whether its own repulsion is strong enough. If the external magic energy can be strong enough to overwhelm the external repulsion formed by the formation, then even if it is a weakened third-level rule magic,

That is still level three rule magic.

The law of death is never merciful!

"Maka——"

Harry, who had been pushed far aside in his daze before, finally came back to his senses.
