Chapter 2201

"The devil appeared earlier than expected."

Sarah just talked to Luna in the attic, and now she is spitting out from Hermione standing on the roof of the East Tower.

Obviously, this is not good news.

"It's too late... The magic of the core of the array is not enough. If you suffer a strong attack now..."

Hermione looked up at the oppressive vortex in the air, her hands clenched into fists, and her arms even trembled slightly because of excessive force.

However, after muttering to herself, she took a deep breath, turned her head and calmly told the following two wizards:

"Immediately remind everyone in the stronghold - next, we should start to be ready to evacuate the stronghold at all times, and everything is still carried out in an orderly manner as planned!"

"OK." "I see."

The two wizards immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, but Hermione inherited Makana's habit of calculating the way out first, and had already planned to retreat. After all, no matter how reluctant they are to give up here, human life is more important in the end. When they have to give up, Percy who died probably won't want so many more people to "bury" him.

There are really enough dead people.

Seeing the two wizards in charge of summoning leave from the tower platform, Hermione looked up again and looked at the sky. Obviously, even if she was under great pressure, she would rather stare at it all the time. If she didn't look at it, she would be more uneasy.

At the same time, in the center of the vortex above his head, the dark figure has slowly left the clouds, as if supported by an invisible force, and is still slowly descending in mid air at the original speed.

Up to now, the guy's appearance can be seen completely - he is about the same height as ordinary people, he is a little thin but still has clear muscle lines, his dark skin has a texture and luster like crocodile skin, there are some slight edges and corners on his bare head, and he has no gender characteristics.

This is the appearance of the devil's "arrogance". Except for the deep darkness of the night, it has almost nothing in common with several other demons Hermione has seen. But in general, people who have seen demons can realize at the first sight that they are indeed the same kind!

Delphi's regular cooling beam is constantly scouring its body. For a time, the streamer overflows and frost flies, but the effect is not satisfactory.

Just as Hermione gradually frowned, holding a magic wand in her hand, and looked straight at the figure slowly descending from the air. Suddenly, the demon's eyes, which had been slightly closed from the beginning, suddenly opened.

Oh, no... I'm afraid it can't be called "eyes", because there are two deep holes hidden behind its double eyelids.

However, at the moment when the other party opened his eyes, Hermione... And even everyone inside and outside the stronghold felt the illusion of being stared at by others at the first moment.

While everyone was subconsciously stiff, he saw that the "arrogance" suspended in mid air raised his chin slightly and gently pointed to the bottom of his body.

In an instant, the corpses who had stopped around the stronghold ignited their souls one by one, and burst into a raging black flame. Then in the next, they rushed frantically to the Yinhui barrier protecting the stronghold.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

One, two, three... A large number of living corpses hit the barrier one after another, and then jumped on the barrier decisively to initiate self explosion. Soon, the protective barrier trembled violently.

"Go back to defense! Don't worry about the high-level corpse - go back to defense!" Delphi, who was still performing the rule magic, couldn't help shouting.

……

Just when the second protective barrier of the stronghold was wildly attacked by the corpses, Hermione and Delphi, although their faces were bad, the most uncomfortable were Hannah and Ginny in the basement of the burrow.

In fact, the design of the array is to continuously absorb natural magic from the surrounding space and convert it into active magic available for the array, so as to effectively and permanently maintain the magic barrier. However, it is not enough to expect that the army of corpses... Or the devil "arrogance" behind them will launch a strong offensive in the later stage.

To this end, Hermione also designed a part to store magic in the array to make room for high-intensity attacks.

However, because of the action of the high-level corpse who suddenly appeared before, the time for "arrogance" to appear was greatly advanced!

"Bang -"

In the basement, the core part of the array is shaking with magic, and the brilliance released by various symbols and lines in the array also begins to flicker.

For a moment, Ginny and Hannah, waiting on both sides, changed their faces.

"So fast... Why? With Miss Geoffrey and them, why would the high-intensity attack come so fast -" Ginny whispered nervously. "Harry... Harry should be... All right?"

According to the plan, Harry and they are responsible for coping with the previous waves of attacks with strong personal strength outside the stronghold, in order to reduce the pressure of the protective barrier as much as possible before storing enough magic.

Now, since the barrier suddenly began to suffer such a degree of attack, Ginny naturally couldn't help wondering if Harry and they had been injured, or even

Ginny didn't think any more, because she knew that it was not the time to be distracted at will.

"Hannah, change the array!"

"Good!"

Both of them were people who had studied the new ancient magic literature with Maka, and they both participated in the whole process of the arrangement of the big array. Because of this, Hermione asked them to take charge of the important task of the core of the array here.

The most difficult of these "important tasks" is the response to such emergencies - temporary array change.

Hermione designed two Rune combinations to absorb and convert magic, but only one of them was enabled in normal operation for stability.

It's good to be able to double the magic storage, but if it leads to self collapse due to instability, it's not worth the loss.

Therefore, Hermione regarded it as an emergency record.

The concentration of magic in the basement would have made the wizard feel more pressure. In addition, it was necessary to temporarily add magic transmission lines during the operation of the array. Sweat soon seeped from Ginny and Hannah's forehead.

But their hands drawing the lines of the array did not dare to tremble.
