"Buzz——"

It was severe tinnitus caused by a terrible scream.

If the approach of the Dementors would bring despair to everyone, then this howl that struck directly into the soul would give everyone a void that seemed like despair would never come again.

The moment Kingsley shouted "Be careful", the monster that had just floated back up suddenly opened its mouth, and its terrifying roar was directed towards the Aurors and Strikers on the opposite side.

go.

At that moment, even Frena and little Victor, who were far away on the rooftop, felt a chill coming from their hearts straight to the back of their heads, and goosebumps fell all over their bodies.

But the good thing is that they are quite far away, so at least their consciousness is still clear. As for those Aurors who directly endured it head-on, most of them were in a dazed state at this time.

"Psychic magic...this is ancient magic..."

From here, it can be seen that Kingsley's mental power level is obviously higher than that of others. Even though he is also very close, he can still barely keep his thoughts running.

And the judgment he expressed showed his solid skills in magic theory.

But even so, Kingsley, who was slightly superhuman, couldn't help but gently hold his forehead with one hand, showing pain and struggle on his face.

The monster's roar was obviously more terrifying than before.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

Kingsley endured the severe discomfort, waved his wand and recited the incantation.

Immediately, a silvery white light emerged from the tip of his staff, forming a vortex in the blink of an eye. The next moment, a silver cat that looked like a cheetah jumped out of the vortex and ran straight away not far away.

Flying away in the direction of the monster.

That is his patron saint. The specific image is a lynx, with a strong and powerful figure.

However, the Patronus Curse is indeed a natural enemy to ordinary Dementors, but will it also be astonishingly effective against the monster in front of us that looks very much like a Dementor?

Kingsley was completely unsure about this.

"Oh! As expected of Mr. Kingsley Shacklebolt, he can summon such a solid patron saint!"

On the roof of the building here, Frena suddenly marveled.

And just the next second.

"boom!"

I saw the lynx patron saint approaching the monster fiercely, and pounced on it without hesitation. Immediately, the monster was knocked backwards and flew more than ten feet, and fell again from the unstable suspension state.

Returned to the ground.

However, this heavy fall did not cause much damage to it. When the lynx patron saint followed and rushed towards it, it had already gotten up quickly.

"boom!"

Seeing that hateful patron saint relentlessly pursuing again, the monster raised his hand and waved at the waist.

This time, it was the lynx patron saint who was knocked out by the heavy blow.

Fortunately, the Patron Saint is different from that monster. A pure energy body like this does not suffer injuries or death in the true sense.

As soon as it was slapped away, it quickly turned around and entangled with the opponent fearlessly.

…

"That's...what happened? What is that monster doing?"

If you look at it from a wizard's perspective, Kingsley's Patronus and the monster are fighting together, with silver and white and gray and black frequently intertwining, which is naturally thrilling and exciting.

But if you look at it from the eyes of little Victor on the roof here, the scene seems to be a translucent monster dancing happily on the spot. Not only will it be a bit inexplicable, but it will even make people laugh.

.

Because magical products like Patronuses, which are shaped by the spirit of wizards and condensed by pure magic power, are the most difficult "specialties" of the magical world for Muggles to see.

"Oh... that's the patron saint summoned by Mr. Shacklebolt to fight the monster, but you can't see the patron saint." Frena next to her kindly explained.

However, the answer to a question usually brings more surprises and questions to people.

"'Summon the Patronus'?" Little Victor said in surprise as he rubbed his still dizzy head, "Can you wizards really summon something else? Also, what is the Patronus? It's a dragon.

? Or an angel?"

"No, no, that is not actually a 'calling', but a manifestation of spiritual will..."

Frena tried to explain the principle, but after thinking about it subconsciously, she quickly discovered that even she herself had a hard time explaining the reason.

Obviously, it is very difficult to explain the principles of magic to a Muggle who knows almost nothing about magic. Only when a wizard truly understands the essence of magic can he explain the profound theories in an easy-to-understand way.

Describe the method.

As for her, a little secretary who had just entered the British Ministry of Magic as an intern, she was far worse.

"Oh! I just realized how difficult it is to be an educator..." Frena pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Mr. MacLean is hesitant about such a prestigious position as the Minister of Magic...

It turns out that in the magical world, a knowledgeable professor is the most indispensable!"

"...Listening to what you said, he seems to be really great." Little Victor couldn't help but echoed from the side.

It's a pity that if Frena knew that Maka had been planning to resign, she might have ended her star-chasing career on the spot.

Later, when little Victor, who had not received the answer, began to think about the "Patron Saint" again, Frena beside him suddenly looked out a little more in surprise.

And where Freyna was looking was naturally the square below.

"Look! Mr. Shacklebolt woke up his colleagues and they all started casting the Patronus Charm!"

Just as she said, after Kingsley discovered that his lynx patronus could barely wrap around the monster, he immediately took out a small potion bottle hidden inside his coat.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly removed the cork from the bottle and hurriedly shuttled back and forth between the other Aurors and the strikers.

He gently swayed the refreshing potion under everyone's noses, and first selected a group of members who had not been knocked down by the previous scream to dispel the discomfort one by one.

Although the monster's roar also contained an impact on the soul, which was a trauma that this magical medicine could not relieve at all, it could at least allow some people to restore their thinking.

He definitely wouldn't be able to deal with that monster right now by relying on him alone.

So, after he awakened several subordinates in succession, the equally experienced members immediately followed suit and summoned their respective patron saints.

Not everyone can learn the Patronus Charm, especially when it comes to condensing a Patronus.

But they are Aurors after all, and some of them are even special strikers against dark wizards. Of course, they can't deal with typical Defense Against the Dark Arts spells like this.

Several puffs of silver-white light mist splashed out on the square, followed closely by various patron saints hurriedly rushing around the monster, joining the silver lynx who was still struggling alone.

After that, as Kingsley awakened more and more people, the number of patron saints also began to increase. Seeing that the response was effective, Kingsley himself could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that the first move must have been Maka's hand - that kind of magic that could ruthlessly freeze things in an instant, he had never seen another wizard use it.

It's just because of this that he never dared to take action easily before.

Now, when he saw that the Patronus Spell could indeed have an effect, he felt a little relieved... although the effect was obviously far less effective than when dealing with ordinary Dementors.

Gradually, the monster was suppressed by many patron saints. The only thing that worried Kingsley was that no matter how the patron saints attacked, they could not cause substantial damage to the opponent.

No, maybe this isn't the "only" thing he's worried about.

"Where's Maka?"

While controlling his patron saint and cooperating with everyone to limit the monster's movement range, Kingsley was secretly worried.

He had collaborated with Maka many times when dealing with Voldemort earlier, so he was quite familiar with Maka's habits.

Like now, when Maka just threw a magic spell and didn't show up again, there is a high possibility that that guy has already left here and gone somewhere else.

However, what happened that made the strong young man who replaced Dumbledore become the new pillar of Hogwarts leave in such a hurry?

Kingsley felt his scalp numb when he thought that maybe while a large group of them were working together to deal with a monster, a much more terrifying disaster was happening in another place.

What he was worried about was not that he couldn't deal with the monster in front of him, nor that Maka might be in danger, nor even that there might be vicious friction between the Muggle world and the magical world.

What he was worried about was that it would become a fact that "Maka has to do everything by herself".

This was how Dumbledore was back then, but the gap between Dumbledore and their group was not as obvious as Maka's, so not many people noticed.

But now, the intensity of some crises in this magical world is really too high... Once Maka cannot hold on any day, his fall will inevitably symbolize the coming of a huge disaster.

If there is no change in this situation, no one dares to imagine what the future magic world will be like.

Suddenly, Kingsley took a deep breath, and saw him wave the wand forward forcefully, and the silver light on the lynx patronus suddenly burst out.

But in the next moment, the monster swung its arm backhand, and then saw the silvery lynx flying backwards to no avail.

Kingsley's dark face became increasingly tense. (To be continued)
