"Boom -"
McGonagall, who had just retreated from the Dragon Cave, was swallowed up by the dust gushing out of the cave at the moment of hearing the loud noise and feeling the vibration under his feet.
Not only that, because the part of the dragon's nest close to the hole was made up later, it collapsed in the violent impact and shock. When the dust was flying, McGonagall, aware of the danger, immediately retreated until the collapse of the outer edge of the cave stopped and the dust covering the jungle area gradually settled. Then she came close to the entrance of the Dragon Cave, which had been blocked by rubble, with all the dust.
She was obviously worried about Maka who stayed inside with halbo.
Just now, she, who witnessed a suspicious figure from the castle, came to check. Fortunately, Haier Bo was already talking to Maka at that time.
What she saw at the edge of the forbidden forest was actually Maka's back.
When she hesitated for a moment at the mouth of the cave like halbo, and then was about to go in and have a look, she was suddenly stopped by Maka's words.
It has to be said that from the unknown figure seen in the castle to now, things have happened too fast and too suddenly. Even though she was more or less aware of the general situation through some signs, she found that she seemed unable to do anything.
She's Mileva McGonagall. Why on earth did she come back to Hogwarts alone? Is it just to be destroyed and buried with this campus and this castle when Hogwarts is in crisis?
No, not at all.
If she can, she still hopes that she can do her best to protect the place that is kind to her, rather than die meaninglessly in the case of powerlessness.
Yes, for MEG, being buried in Hogwarts after his death may be the best ending. But that should never happen now.
"Yes... What should I do? There must be something I can do."
Standing in front of the collapsed dragon's nest, McGonagall thought silently for a while. McGonagall looked up at the blocked hole again. Then he suddenly turned around and walked straight to the castle.
……
When MEG Wu thought about what he should do, the collapsed earth and stones buried the dragon's nest at the entrance, still in a dusty state.
Because there is no wind, the dust raised by the cave is naturally more difficult to settle and fall to the ground, so that the already dark cave becomes darker when it is in Leighton.
Fortunately, even if the environment becomes invisible, it will not hinder Maka, who can detect the surrounding situation through magic induction.
"Haier Bo, how does it feel to be pressed down by the bewitching monument again?"
At this moment, Maka stood in place with her eyes closed and asked casually.
As he said, the roar of the weight falling just now came from the bewitching monument he summoned.
Due to the falling of this black stone tablet, part of the rune array he set up was inevitably damaged. However, compared with this array with great coverage, the local damage did not cause too much imbalance to the overall operation.
Even if some magic chains disappeared, most of them were still firmly bound to halbo, and he was pressed under the giant monument.
"Do you feel --"
After Maka asked questions at random for a few seconds, halbo's voice finally came out from the ground. His voice was slightly dull just because of the obstruction of soil and stones.
"Well, I really miss it... I have a very annoying feeling." Haier Bo slowly said, "really, the boredom after being sealed by Slytherin seems to overflow out of control."
As soon as the words were finished, Maka felt the ground tremble, making the huge bewitching monument shake slightly.
"Haier Bo," Maka said with a slight pause, then raised her eyebrows, "since you feel bored, come out! Although this set of traps is indeed set for you, I did my best to design it with the mentality of suppressing you again. But..."
As she said this, Maka suddenly shook her head.
"It's a pity that in the final analysis, it's just something made for you who haven't become a 'devil'. Well, although these words seem to me like something, I don't think you will be suppressed by this thing up to now."
"Well?"
When halber heard Maka say this, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh, and then hummed and smiled:
"It's a valuable quality to admit my failure so frankly. I haven't seen many people who can do it for so long."
Before the words fell, Maka felt the ground tremble again. Before long, she saw a strong arm wrapped in chains suddenly stretched out from under the bewitching Monument and propped up the giant monument bit by bit.
"To tell you the truth, McLean, I feel a little sorry for you - maybe you've already discovered it yourself, but I still want to say that you're really not suitable for taking the road of 'arrogance'. If you can really control the bewitching monument like Slytherin, maybe I'll have to spend more time to get up from the ground today!"
As he said these words, halber slowly stood up again with a very heavy monument, with a large number of looming magic chains hanging on his body.
When he stood upright with his shoulders against the stone tablet, he looked at Maka in front of him and continued:
"You know what? The magic array you designed has really put a lot of burden on me. If I had been before I got this body, I might have to spend hundreds of years underground... Oh, you know, I really don't like wasting time like that!"
As he spoke, he suddenly made a great effort at his waist and unloaded the giant monument from his shoulder with a bang. Then he looked at Maka again, as if curious:
"Why, aren't you going to do it when I get up? Maybe... You don't know the injury you can leave on me?"
"Hiss -"
Maka frowned, still motionless, just leaning on the staff, calmly looked at halbo:
"I found that you really said a lot today?"
"Oh, is there really so much?" Haier Bo slightly hooked the corner of his mouth and shook his head. "It's probably because the moment I've been looking forward to for nearly two thousand years is finally coming! If I'm in a good mood, I'll naturally have more words, isn't it?"
At this point, he suddenly felt a shock, and then suddenly his arms like trying to tear something apart. With a silent magic storm, most of the magic chain that had been tightly wrapped around him was broken in an instant.
At that moment, the scene of being bound and suppressed just now was like a huge joke he played on Maka.
"After all, there are not many people who can chat with me like this... I'm afraid!"
