"Willie...is she okay?"

Blois looked at the young man who said this, and there was a hint of softness in his plain expression. Of course, that was just "a hint".

In just a moment, he straightened his face again and returned to his expressionless state.

"McLean, I know you are working against Voldemort. I have no control over those things for the time being, and there is no need to do so..." Mr. Blois said calmly, "But today... seeing as you are my daughter's 'friend'

For your sake, leave here immediately!"

"But...why?" Maka said inexplicably, "If I remember correctly, that potion was made by Willy, right? What exactly happened?"

"If you have any questions, go to Voldemort. I can tell you where Voldemort is hiding-"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to Voldemort right now," Maka interrupted immediately, "Willy is my best friend, and what I'm most concerned about right now is her situation!"

"she's fine!"

Mr. Blois still looked at him calmly, exuding the aura of a controller, which is the temperament of a high-ranking person who is used to giving orders.

Even though Maka is looking down at him now, it feels as if he is looking down at Maka with great power.

"As long as you don't disturb her, you can see her again in the future! If you still want to be friends with her, I also welcome you to visit Blois Castle more often-" Blois said calmly,

"Of course, not now."

After hearing this, Maka let out a sigh of relief and calmed herself down again.

He meditated silently, reorganized his thoughts, and then a trace of hesitation flashed across his face.

"Mr. Blois, you just said 'you can't control it for the time being', so..." Maka looked into Blois's eyes and said, "Are you going to make some agreement with Voldemort?"

"Who knows?"

When he said this, Blois' expression did not change at all.

But in this case, not denying it is actually not much different from affirming it. Maca understands this, and Mr. Blois himself is also very clear about this.

For him, there is no need to make any unnecessary concealments about who he is trading with or cooperating with.

"So...this agreement...is really related to Willie?" This time, half of Maka's question was a guess.

After all, through the conversation just now, he suddenly felt that "maybe this is the case". But without any solid basis, even if there was certainty in his tone, the guess was just a guess.

"You don't need to know." Mr. Blois said without hesitation, "Aren't you leaving? If you don't leave, then don't leave. Don't think that because you are my daughter's friend, I won't do anything to you -"

But Maka didn't pay attention to Bulova's bland threat.

Of course he could feel that Blois' murderous intention was real. Although the murderous intention was well hidden, he could understand——

When it's time to take action, the man in front of him will never show any mercy.

"Mr. Blois, I know that you made this decision for Willie. However, I must tell you - Voldemort is not a suitable trading partner!"

Maka spread her hands, trying to convince her with emotion and reason.

"If you need anything, why don't you ask Professor Dumbledore?"

But after hearing this, Blois still didn't react.

"I don't deny Albus Dumbledore's abilities, but everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I don't think there's anything wrong with my choice."

Blois said, frowning slightly.

"Let me ask you one last time - 'leave' or 'stay'?"

This is the way of thinking of decision-makers, especially a successful decision-maker, who usually affirms every judgment they make. Although they will reflect on their failures, they will never make decisions casually.

Negate it.

And now Blois's decision seems to be very secretive. Without any clue, even if Maka wants to change his thinking, he can't find a suitable breakthrough point.

The most important thing is that this man has no intention of continuing to talk to him.

Several thoughts flashed through Maka's mind one by one, and in the end he could only sigh.

"...Willie is in that cave now, right?"

He glanced at the hole that had been sealed and then re-exploded, and he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

"snort."

Blois snorted softly and raised the wand in his hand. A large number of magma balls immediately floated in the lava lake below him. There were so many magma balls that there were dozens at a glance, which was far from the previous pursuit of Lupin.

It can be compared that time.

"Retreat! Immediately! Immediately! The further away, the better!" Maka's expression changed slightly, and she immediately shouted without looking back.

If those were just simple magma balls, then Maka wouldn't care so much. But he clearly sensed the magic power rolling in those magma balls.

That kind of restlessness is definitely not as simple as an ordinary magma ball!

Although Lu Ping and others were a little confused, seeing that Maka shouted so urgently, everyone who knew his strength very decisively followed his order and flew upwards quickly.

But before they could fly very high, Blois's wand moved.

However, he suddenly raised the tip of his staff, and the magma ball suddenly rose up and flew into the air towards where Maka was.

In just an instant, Maka understood that at least Lupine and the others were safe for the time being, because the targets of those magma balls were all just him.

After realizing this, Maka also started to move.

He was seen holding the magic book with his feet, but instead of taking advantage of three-dimensional movement to dodge, he placed the staff in front of him.

As the magic power in his body stirred up, his robes fluttered, and a hemispherical ripple visible to the naked eye spread. When the magma balls rushing over like a storm hit the ripple, a

Everyone slowed down.

This is an expanded version of the obstacle spell. It is really good in terms of effect. All the magma balls were intercepted before they even got close.

But at the next moment, Blois shook his wand lightly and saw those magma balls suddenly collapse inward at the same time.

Then, with a burst of almost overlapping explosions, all the magma balls suddenly exploded, setting off a terrifying magma storm.

That "enlarged version of obstacles" didn't even hold on for a second before it was completely blown away by the violent explosion.

"The Blois family is indeed extraordinary, but why have I never seen this family name before?"

Maka stayed where she was, with her staff stretched out in front of her, not even moving her posture at all.

When the aftermath of the explosion and the magma storm reached his side at the same time, they were all blocked within a few feet of him, and not even a corner of his clothes was injured.

However, Blois's attack was just the beginning.

As countless magma and flames passed around Maka with great force, Maka suddenly sensed that an even more violent wave of magic power was coming toward him.

The moment Maka noticed it, he suddenly controlled the magic book at his feet and ducked to the side.

Almost at the same time, a spear made of magma rushed past him silently and violently. The high temperature contained in it spread out into a heat wave, and even his skin felt a burning pain.

But it’s not over yet!

After the lava spear passed him at an astonishing speed, he sensed the next wave of the same magic power.

besides!

Maka dodged again, and then dodged again, moving sideways six times in a row, each time with more dangers.

Logically speaking, in an environment as violent as the magic power, and with the sight blocked, it should be impossible to accurately determine the direction of his avoidance every time.

At least Maka can't do it herself.

But no matter what, he was certain that Blois was able to pinpoint his position accurately.

Although Maka didn't want to fight with Willie's father, he was not the kind of person who wanted to be beaten passively.

The moment he spotted the seventh lava spear flying towards him, Maka swung the staff in his hand while moving sideways to dodge, and a stream of air rose out of thin air around him.

The air flow was weak at first, but when Maka dodged the eighth lava spear, the breeze that was originally mixed with the heat wave suddenly swelled into a large hurricane.

With an impressive and majestic momentum, the hurricane swept away the surrounding magma that was falling in the direction of Blois.

The hurricane, which was like a tornado of flames, was so powerful that the ninth lava spear that was shot was also torn a little, and crashed into the stone wall.

After another explosion, a large number of stone fragments fell down and fell into the lava lake below, splashing bursts of blazing flames.

When Blois saw the flame tornado coming straight towards him with astonishing momentum, he waved the wand diagonally from bottom to top without haste.

At this moment, a dazzling giant wave of magma immediately rose up from the lava lake, firmly blocking his entire body.

The flame tornado rolled over the protective shield made of magma, but it only caused a wave of fluctuations and did not cause any harm to Mr. Blois who was hiding below.

Although this hurricane is just an enlarged version of the "whirlwind sweep", in terms of power, Maka also consumed an objective amount of magic power.

At present, we have only achieved this little result, which seems to be a bit meaningless.

"It's really difficult to handle..."

Fighting with Willy's father with all his strength was not the result he wanted, but considering the opponent's strength, it was obvious that a small fight could not solve the problem.

Maka frowned slightly, and the staff in her hand suddenly shone brightly - this veritable "duel" seemed unlikely to end soon.
