It turns out that Harry hasn't been in good shape lately. In other words, when he picked up Gryffindor's sword this time, the courage in his heart still did not reach the level when he faced the fire dragon.
The source of courage in everyone's heart is mostly different. Harry's courage is more from faith.
When he felt that he was lack of confidence, his faith would decline together, so that the recognition of Gryffindor sword to him became ambiguous at the same time.
Without the tacit support of Gryffindor's sword, even if the blade of the sword is still extremely sharp, it is just an ordinary sword if it can't be used easily.
Harry, who rushed to Luna, just cut off one leg of an eight eyed giant spider with a sword, and was knocked out by the big spider crazy because of his temporary blindness.
However, just then, a figure flew rapidly from the direction of the school gate.
"Maka!"
In the sound of Hermione's cry, Marca, who stepped on the magic book and held a long staff, rushed towards them and stopped steadily not far above their heads.
"Well done, Harry!" he said quickly. "Now, go back to the castle at once!"
Before the words fell, the staff in his hand suddenly burst into a blue and white light, and a semicircle was drawn around his body with the swing of his arm.
In an instant, a seemingly thin but actually extremely low temperature cold spread silently, freezing a large number of eight eyed giant spiders around and slowing down.
The next second, Maka's staff suddenly pointed to the castle, and a mass of white frost immediately rushed straight towards the castle along the line he pointed to.
Wherever the cold air passed, whether it was the eight eyed giant spider on the way or the neatly trimmed lawn, it was coated with a layer of crystal frost.
"Go, I'll take care of the rest," Marca urged again.
"Marca, Professor spraot is still ahead -" Hermione reminded as she picked up Harry. "She wrapped herself in vines. It shouldn't be hard to find!"
"I see." Maka nodded immediately.
When Hermione, Harry and Luna helped each other run back and soon called the castle gate open, Maka, who escorted them all the way, turned around and flew to the Forbidden Forest at an amazing speed.
"Aragok!"
The cry with the sound reinforcement spell spread like thunder in the forbidden forest. The volume was so loud that even the leaves trembled slightly.
Maka flew along the way and saw no other teachers and students except the clump of solid vines that were still intact. It seems that this incident happened to be in class, which can only be said to be a blessing in misfortune.
However, the current school court has been occupied by a terrible number of eight eyed giant spiders. Even Maka can't help sighing for it - these spiders have too strong reproductive ability.
In fact, if he had not started to transform aragok's blood, the survival rate of newborn spiders would not have become so terrible. Even if the eight eyed giant spider is an extremely dangerous species of "xxxxx" in the magic part, it is also fragile when they are just born.
The spiders in front became much denser. He turned out the light green glasses he had made, put them on the bridge of his nose, and then took out a bottle of anti Petrochemical magic medicine and poured it into his mouth.
"Aragok!" Maka stopped the bottle and continued to shout.
As he shouted, he pushed aside the eight eyed giant spider he met on the road and kept moving forward without hesitation. He didn't expend unnecessary effort to destroy these fierce looking big guys, because he had to find aragok first.
Eight eyed giant spiders are a species with a high degree of intellectual growth. Although their rationality will lose to the instinct of killing from time to time, they also have the nature of listening to orders from the beginning.
Maka kept pushing deep into the forbidden forest. The new nest that aragok had moved was at the foot of the deepest mountain in the forbidden forest.
As he quickly went deep into the dense forest, the surrounding trees became stronger and taller, and the size of the eight eyed giant spider seen on the road also changed from time to time.
The large adult eight eyed giant spiders are even larger than those outside the forest for one or two circles, but the number is not much, but it is only compared with those of ordinary size; Some of the small juvenile eight eyed giant spiders are only the size of a fingernail, but there are many terrible numbers.
The individual differences of these spiders are becoming larger and larger.
"If you stay here for a long time, you may suffer from dense phobia..." Maka twisted her shoulder and muttered a little uncomfortable.
Before long, Maka, who was moving rapidly in the forest, finally saw a huge cave on the slope of the mountain wall. At the mouth of the cave, countless spiders are pouring out, most of which are too small to be small.
"Aragok!" Maka stood at the mouth of the cave. The cold air around him made the spiders hurry to avoid being frozen. "Aren't you going to come out yet?"
His voice quickly poured into the cave, and the sound wave vibrated in it, causing a commotion among the spiders and spiders.
After a while, Maka found that the number of spiders gushing out of the cave suddenly increased. Then, three giants crawled out of the dark cave.
These three are obviously the largest eight eyed giant spiders that Maka has seen today. He even feels that none of them is smaller than aragok
No, maybe bigger!
"... three of the first batch?" Marca couldn't help thinking as she watched the three big guys quickly run to her face and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
If you look at the size, you should be right - his little guys are almost the same size. If he hadn't left all those babies in the United States this time, he really wanted to let them out and meet these brothers and sisters in front of him!
"... Mr. McLean..."
When the three big guys stood in front of themselves, one of them spoke immediately.
"That's right." Marca nodded.
"Father... Inside..." the big spider said intermittently, "please... Go in..."
"Then go!" Marca waved her hand immediately.
The three big spiders stared at him again. Then they turned around and walked in front of him and took the road for Maka.
Maka stood on the magic book and floated behind them. The magic wand in her hand emitted a faint fluorescence, illuminating the dark cave a little.
The terrain of this new nest in aragog is quite complex. Although it becomes narrower as you go inside, let alone Maka, even these big spiders can move smoothly. The word "narrow" is only relative.
On the way, Maka saw many bifurcation holes of different sizes, each extending to different caves. The cave wall is uneven and looks like a natural underground cave. A large number of stalagmites crisscross on both sides of the cave. In the dark environment, they look like the sharp corners of the devil, which is cool.
In the process of rapid penetration, Maka found that the surrounding air also brought a thin trace of moisture, and perhaps there was groundwater deeper.
After following the three big guys for more than ten minutes, the surrounding terrain suddenly became spacious.
Although it was only more than ten minutes, in fact, the three big spiders walked very fast and kept moving along the inclined downward passage. Maka felt that she might have come to a deep underground.
In fact, in this cave, there were many spiders of different sizes crawling around at first. But with more and more in-depth, the number of spiders is also decreasing sharply. There are almost no small spiders here.
"... ah... It's McLean's smell... Long time no see..."
In the deep and dark cave, an old voice suddenly sounded and echoed around.
"Aragok?" Maka casually increased the fluorescence on the staff to see more clearly. "It's really a long time since I saw you... You should know my purpose very well?"
When the light was on, he immediately saw the giant spider lying in the innermost part of the large cave. Although his figure here is not so conspicuous at present, Maka can still recognize it at a glance.
Because aragok was alienated through direct blood transformation, there are still traces of the past on his appearance, which makes aragok look more calm.
"Yes... I understand," aragok sighed slightly. "I'm sorry to be like this."
"Talk nonsense with him? Don't petrify him quickly!"
Maka did not continue to ask questions, but heard a voice behind aragok, with a touch of pride in her tone.
"I don't have to listen to your orders." aragok said faintly.
"You --"
The voice suddenly became angry, but he obviously soon put this unhappiness aside.
"Professor McLean, I've heard a lot of your deeds -" the voice said briskly. "Aren't you very powerful? Hum, no matter how powerful you are, can you deal with so many mutant spiders?"
"Sokaladis?" Maka said calmly.
"Sokas! Call me sokas!" the other party said fiercely, "don't call me that name! Understand?"
Makaton paused and saw that he had no intention of coming out from behind aragog, so he turned his eyes back to aragog.
"Go ahead! What's the reason for stepping out of the forbidden forest?" he asked aragok.
"Well..." aragog pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "my children have become stronger, so they have become more, and there is not enough food... This is the most direct and important reason."
"That's very reasonable," said Marca, frowning and nodding, but immediately questioning, "but we've discussed this long ago? I remember reminding you to send your children to me, didn't I?"
