harry potter book of crimes

I don’t know when, snowflakes began to float in the air again, and they rained down over London.

The clouds in the sky are still thick, gently covering people's eyes when they look up, leaving only endless darkness.

And in the gray sky and fluttering snow petals, disharmonious black figures were crisscrossing back and forth, circling uncertainly.

But of course, there are not many people who still have time to look at the sky, especially in the soon-to-be-abandoned area where Maka and Haierpo fought.

There used to be some poor homeless people here, huddled together in a corner. For them, they already had nowhere to go.

But now, buildings are collapsing frequently in this area, and roads can be seen crumbling from time to time. To be honest, there are not even many places for people to stand safely, let alone huddled in cardboard boxes and struggling to survive.

.

"boom--"

A flame turned into a giant snake and swept past Maka.

He just happened to escape, but the building behind him was completely damaged - the three-story house that was still habitable was instantly reduced to rubble by the huge impact brought by the fire snake.

The astonishing high temperature also burned the wood into charcoal and baked the masonry into brick ash.

In fact, Maka had always wanted to take Haierbo into the air to fight, which would at least reduce the damage to the nearby environment as much as possible.

It's a pity that you can't be careless in the battle with Haierbo. After all, the guy today is obviously stronger than the previous few times!

As for being on the ground... in fact, the disadvantages to Maka are far more than these.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang -"

A series of bursting sounds sounded from where Maka passed, followed by rock thorns with different angles. Look at the sharp thorn points and the solid cone-shaped structure. If you are stabbed, be prepared.

A big hole was dug out!

This is the first-level rule studied by Haierbo in addition to the soul rule. Like the flame that condensed into a snake shape just now, this is also accomplished through rules.

To be honest, when it comes to the understanding and application of first-level rules, Maka's cooling runes are even stronger than Haierbo's magic. But in actual combat, as long as there is no large gap in levels, more,

A more complex offensive will obviously bring a more favorable situation.

At the moment, Maka clearly feels that his movement range is being gradually compressed - his advantage in speed is being targeted.

"laugh--"

The blue-white stream of light passed through another red fire snake, and the overflowing cold air left a long ice mark on the ground.

In order to reduce the magic power consumption while ensuring the power, when using the power of the cooling rule, he often tries his best to ensure that it can be stopped at the touch of a button.

Haierbo, who was standing behind the fire snake, turned sideways and accurately avoided Maka's attack. Due to the invasion of the cooling rules at close range, the black cloak on his body had some traces of being frozen, but it was not hurt.

How much is he.

The next moment, Maka rushed forward in a hurry, letting the fiery snake that resurrected itself and rushed toward him at the beginning pounce again.

"go!"

Suddenly, as if he had waited for an opportunity, he raised his staff and released several invisible cold currents, flying straight to the location of Hai Erbo in an arc.

This is a multi-point attack. Theoretically speaking, it is difficult to dodge except for resisting and moving in space. And this time Maka's timing was very accurate - he didn't leave Haierbo too much time.

But who would have known that the other party actually found a way to escape from the cold currents that were distributed around him in different directions, and escaped from the blockade set by Maka with a short stature and a sideways movement.

But at that moment, Maka's eyes narrowed. And almost at the same time, his Eagle Patronus appeared silently from behind Haierbo, clasped his shoulders with a pair of silver-white claws and moved up.

carry.

Haierbo, which had always been floating, was immediately dragged away from the ground and quickly rose upwards.

And it was at this unprepared moment that Maka followed up with her next attack, and another blue-white light beam flew straight towards Haierbo's chest in the blink of an eye.

His patron saint's power is really impressive, but it's not easy to break free. Moreover, while he's temporarily caught, the magic of space movement doesn't work.

It can be said that this is almost a sure hit.

It's a pity that although the power of Maka's first-level rules is strong, today's Haierbo is not really unstoppable.

However, Haierbo, who was clutching his shoulder blades, suddenly closed his hands, and in the faint gray halo, Haierbo's soul rule rune suddenly appeared.

Immediately, Maka saw that his cooling rule beam was sucked into the space between his palms!

"Can soul rules still have such an effect?"

Maka couldn't help but feel a little surprised by this.

However, although Haierbo unexpectedly showed such use of rules, it does not mean that his current state can really take this blow without any loss.

The next second, with an inaudible cracking sound, wisps of cold air emerged from the palms of Hai Erbo's hands that were closed in front of his chest without any warning.

"Click——"

Immediately, Maka discovered that the rule rune that the opponent had just condensed seemed to be in an unstable state, and even Haierbo's gray-black body began to tremble.

Maka, who was always keeping a close eye on the opponent, naturally would not let go of such a great opportunity. Not only that, he also saw that there was an abnormality in Haierbo's soul level.

Although he always knew that he was inferior to his opponent in terms of soul rules, in actual combat, even the simplest floating spell had its place.

Suddenly, he waved his staff violently, and a cloud of jet-black mist immediately formed into the shape of a skull, and quickly rushed towards where Haierbo was.

Compared with the soul magic that Maka learned in the past, the one based on soul rules is obviously more powerful now.

In a hurry, Haierbo naturally noticed Maka's decisive choice.

To be honest, even he had to secretly praise Maka's judgment. But if he just watched that huge skull slap at him, then he, the so-called strongest dark wizard, would not have to mess around.

"Bang!"

I don't know what Hai Erbo did, but the gray halo in his palm suddenly exploded, and a thick gray mist immediately enveloped his entire body.

Immediately afterwards, Maka's soul magic also crashed into it, plunging into the chaotic gray mist.

Then... there seemed to be no other movement.

After seeing this scene, Maka had to stop preparing for the next step - even with his knowledge of magic, he could not determine what the strange gray mist was.

All he knew was that although that energy seemed messy, mysterious, and even a little dirty, his senses revealed that it was some kind of unexpectedly pure, attributeless energy.

Well, speaking of it...he seems to have felt this kind of magic somewhere...

However, it was obvious that he didn't have much time to recall at this moment. Just when he was about to try it first, the gray mist suddenly shrank again.

This time, Maka couldn't help but become more cautious, and even the magic power condensed on the top of the staff stagnated slightly.

But with just such a moment of hesitation, the gray mist that enveloped Haierbo's body immediately dissipated without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the first place.

This time, at least Maka didn't have the chance to find out what it was.

Looking at Haierbo who had regained his figure, Maka noticed that the black energy was slowly floating around the other person's body. The black energy was actually a part of his body, and it only appeared due to the instability just now.

Escape situation.

Maka has gained something at least, because he has understood that Haierbo's current condition is still not good.

Immediately, Maka no longer hesitated, and in just one breath, he released more than ten invisible magic blades, and in conjunction with the cold current triggered by his cooling rules, they pressed towards Haierbo.

The sharp blade was originally a magic spell created by Snape. Although Maka has now slightly modified it. But it is also used when dealing with wizards of Halbo's level, which is enough to see that the power of this magic is not great.

vulgar.

On the other side, Haierbo, who has already recovered, will certainly not slack off.

Knowing that the silver eagle patron saint grabbing his shoulders was also a major obstacle to his influence, he immediately raised his hand and waved it upward. The shadowy black flames in his palms showed that he had already brought the power of the rules with him.

.

"boom!"

After forcibly slapping Maka's patron saint away, and ignoring the black scars on his shoulders torn by the silver eagle's claws, Haierbo immediately disappeared, surrounded by magic blades and bursts of cold current.

Seeing this, Maka moved faster - spatial movement would also leave traces, and short-distance movements were easier for him to predict.

So although the time is short, this is the best time for him to continue to take the initiative!

Immediately, he didn't even look at his surroundings, but directly slammed the staff in his hand to the ground. When Haierbo appeared from another position in the sky, he found that he had been surrounded by strong winds coming from all directions.

.

If the chaotic airflow alone is nothing to fear, talking about the power of the wind, it is nothing compared to the mania of nature. But if the wind is also mixed with a deadly cold current, it will make people avoid it.

.

"What is this, a simplified version of Ice Storm?"

Herbo's words were in ancient Greek, and it was obvious that he was not speaking to Maka, but was simply speaking to himself subconsciously.

It seemed that Maka's creativity reminded him of certain past events.

However, just when Haierbo, who was in the strong wind, was about to do something to get rid of this magic, he suddenly turned his head sideways and looked straight to the other side of London.

And almost at the same time, Maka also turned her head and looked in the same direction, with a bit of surprise on her face. (To be continued)
