The development outside the castle is advancing along the road in Maka's memory. In about ten minutes, the mysterious ancient magic mirror will reappear in Hogwarts.
This disaster is inevitable - at least for Maka. If the ancient mirror does not appear this time, it means that everything Maka has done is in vain. Futility is not terrible. What is terrible is that the significance of his backtracking over time will disappear.
Without that mirror, tamaka would not be here. This reason and result is an absolute rule to be observed. If he breaks the rules, he doesn't know what will happen.
Therefore, he needs to wait and rely on the constant consumption of magic to wait for the end of this time cycle before he can carry out his next plan.
To tell you the truth, Marca is glad. He was glad that he had been so careful that he didn't even come to Hogwarts castle to see the situation, which gave him room for redemption.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the old and young lying on the stone steps. These two people were pure accidents. Although he felt a little sorry for them, he chose to surprise them with magic medicine.
But this time the medicine was a little heavy. After all, nasraghorn was also a master of magic medicine. Even if he had an unexpected advantage, he was still a little worried.
But fortunately, maybe they will have some sequelae when they wake up, but at least in a while he can give them a forgetting spell or something. It's nothing to let them suffer than to save Hogwarts's fate.
However, just as Maka was going to settle down to stabilize the power of the soul rules in preparation for the coming shock in the near future, a series of "quack" rattles made his heart stagnate.
At first, the voice only sounded in the distance, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly came to his ear. Then, from the corner of his eye, he quickly caught a glimpse of a plastered green shadow, flashed by, and then felt a slight heaving on his shoulder.
"Gaga - soul! The breath of soul rules! It's your boy... Gaga! You... Eh? Eh? How did your boy grow so tall?"
A burst of noise suddenly sounded in her ears, but Maka's face suddenly changed, and a large amount of information flashed in her mind for a moment.
This voice is very familiar. It's hard to forget after listening to it once. Obviously, the thing standing on his shoulder now is the bronze Eagle who has been away for a long time.
Or the key to the secret room left by royna Ravenclaw.
"Why are you here?" Marca asked quietly, holding back her uneasiness.
The sudden emergence of the bronze Eagle stood on his shoulder. In terms of body size, it was a little larger than the sparrow, but its meaning was unusual.
It is not only the key to open Ravenclaw's secret room, but also the so-called "guide of the candidate". As for where it wants to lead Maka
When Maka got the book of sin, the question seemed to have an answer. But whether the answer is correct or not is unknown.
"It's the breath of soul rules! Gaga..." the bronze Eagle stood on his shoulder, tilted his little head and looked at him carefully, but he continued in his mouth, "that's right, you just came into contact with soul rules? Maybe you can understand that you eagle, I'm based on soul rules... Eh?"
The little eagle was still chattering, but suddenly he stopped inexplicably and made a sound of surprise again.
"... time rules? What are you... What are you going to do?" this time, his words were full of surprise and amazement, "when did you become you? Ouch... How long did I sleep?"
Maka didn't speak. He just frowned slightly and his heart was full of confused thoughts.
He knew that the bronze Eagle might feel the hourglass of the time converter, and the gravel in the hourglass must be related to the rules of time. It's just this kind of thing, but he's not in the mood to think about it now.
But Maka can't speak, but the bronze eagle can't change his habit of talking. Seeing that he was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, the little Eagle immediately flapped its wings and patted his neck.
"Boy, what are you thinking? I think you can even try to use the soul rules. The last test should have been completed long ago? You... Oh, no... in the end, when are you now? You're not at this time..."
"... not long, that is, a few hours later," Maka finally said. "As for the last test, it has been some time since now."
When he said this, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what was on his mind.
"Really? Then why didn't you come to me right away? HMM... forget it! Gaga, it's your business when you come to me. Roy didn't say how long you have to set..." the bronze Eagle tilted his head and seemed to be happy in his voice. "In short, are you ready to accept the next test?"
Maka heard the speech and was about to say something, but he just opened his mouth, but it seemed that he was aware of something, and suddenly clenched the staff in his hand.
"I think we'd better talk about those things later..." he said in a deep voice with a serious face.
Before the voice fell, the mysterious and obscure wave suddenly appeared outside the castle. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the surrounding space and spread far away.
He knew that the most crucial part of the plan was about to begin!
"Eh?"
The bronze eagle was also stunned and made the third sound of surprise today. But then it rattled for a while, accompanied by some kind of panic, as anxious as seeing the sky fall.
"No, no, no! Ga? How could it be? The broken mirror..." it just called a few times and hurriedly said, "what's going on here? It's chaotic... It's all chaotic... Ga... Eagle, I'll withdraw first! You boy, hold on! Hogwarts depends on you..."
Before the voice fell, the bronze Eagle disappeared on Maka's shoulder as it came.
The little guy came quickly, but he didn't expect to go faster. Even Maka was confused. But he didn't have time to think so much now, because he still remembered his plan to go back to time this time. If the plan fails, all his efforts will be in vain!
"Coming!"
With a look, Maka immediately put aside her confused mood and concentrated on controlling the regular Rune representing the soul at the top of the staff.
Sure enough, almost when the next second came, a violent shock passed in an instant. It's like the whole space has shrunk to a certain place, with amazing strength. But that power is only directed at the soul and has no influence on other things.
Maka had experienced this horror before, but now, driving the soul rules, he obviously had a more obvious reaction than last time.
Just for the first time, he felt that the soul rule Rune was on the verge of collapse. It's not that the rule Rune doesn't work, it's just that he doesn't grasp the rules of the soul.
At the top of his staff, the rune could not help but look a little vague, and there was a tendency of looseness under the shock just now. That was outlined by his magic. How much effect it can play is entirely related to his understanding of the meaning of the rules.
Like the cooling rune, Maka can outline it to a state of almost solidity, because he has a deep interpretation of the cooling rules of matter. But he still knows a little about the rules of the soul.
But now he doesn't want to give up, and he can't give up.
Anyway, at least this first shock has been resisted by him. The power of soul rules has been used by him to stabilize the souls of all people in the castle. There are still some results!
Before the next shock attack, Maka did not hesitate, but clenched her teeth, controlled the magic again, and described it again to the rune at the top of the staff.
It depends on whether the shock comes quickly or whether he strengthens the soul Rune faster.
"Bang!"
It was not the sound of the soul being shaken out of the body, but the heartbeat of Maka. Just before the second wave of shock suddenly passed, the soul Rune was forcibly stabilized by him.
There's time!
Although it can barely hold, it must be reinforced again and again to prevent it from collapsing in shock. But he knew that at least before the magic was consumed, he should be able to withstand it.
As long as it can survive, the plan will not fail. And as long as he can hold on until time passes, he can move on to the next step.
So Maka put her left hand into her pocket, quickly took out a gadget like a glass ball, and hit it on the steps at her feet.
"Click!"
The glass ball fell on the stone steps and was smashed to pieces. In the broken glass ball, a large number of translucent virtual shadows suddenly appeared, and they hurried to the south side of the lake.
Maka looked at all this in front of her, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The ticking of the time converter was still ringing in his ears. The sound has been with him since he decided to go back to time, but now it's a long imitation of Fogg.
At this moment, Maka stood on the stone steps, his staff motionless, just like his body, which was not tall and strong, but always calm and incomparable.
Around his body, the magic circle like a dark blue chain still exists, and it revolves endlessly.
"Click... Click... Click..."
The ticking sound rang slowly.
