Because Ernst was saved by someone first, Harry, who might have to fight with the ghost demon in the sea, did save a lot of time.
However, there are at least more than 20 miles from the battle site of the confrontation with "anger" to the sea, and it is nearly 50 miles from time to time. Even if Harry and Alexander didn't stop at the beach, it wouldn't be a trip in the blink of an eye.
Hermione's thoughtfulness will not fail to take this into account - she must have estimated the time required for Harry's trip before she still resolutely put Ernst's life first.
However, it is obvious that this is far from the right decision at the rational level. Let Harry alone take Alexander, who is not very powerful, to save people under a demon, while he led the rest to try to prolong the planned battle time against "anger" by at least twice. Either side is likely to encounter different degrees of danger.
"... so we may actually suffer some unnecessary injuries or even fatal threats. If one of us dies because of my decision... I will probably regret even if Harry succeeds in coming back with Ernst and Alexander later."
Hermione confessed to Delphi as she continued to exert the influence of the gravity rule on her "anger".
"I can understand how you feel."
Delphi was also casting a spell on the huge devil. Hearing Hermione's words, she nodded casually.
"I 'seem' to have made some decisions that may need to sacrifice others to achieve - although some people will die even if I don't make any decisions, it has become 'die for me'. Up to now, it's still hard for me to say that I don't regret it in the end, but it's really hard."
"Don't you regret it?"
Hermione didn't know what decision Delphi was talking about, but what the other party wanted to express was relatively clear to her. After hearing Delphi's account, she couldn't help asking.
"Yes, I don't regret it," Delphi nodded with great certainty, "Because I know not only what I am doing, but also what I think of those who may sacrifice - in some circumstances, when everyone knows that they may embrace death at any time, it may not be so difficult to accept being sacrificed. On the contrary, it may be the people who finally decide to sacrifice some people The most painful one. "
Delphi's words were a little windy, but Hermione really had a personal experience of it at the moment, so she soon understood what she meant.
But Hermione didn't agree with some of Delphi's views. After all, their personalities were different.
"Maybe!" Hermione suddenly waved her wand, which increased the output of magic again, but at the same time, she was struggling, "I don't know your past experience, but it sounds a little similar to our current situation. Yes, almost everyone here, including me, is fighting with the determination to die, but... Even if everyone is ready to sacrifice long ago, I will never have the right to decide life and death for everyone. Even sometimes, it seems that I really want to die ... have to do that. "
"This is the responsibility brought about by ability," said Delphi frankly without holding his wand in his left hand. "Of course, many times, I prefer to call it 'burden'."
"I know that."
Hermione answered, then pursed her lips, as if she thought of something from the topic, but she didn't say it after all.
In fact, she has said some words many times. There is no need to repeat them.
But Delphi guessed immediately what she wanted to say.
"Mr. McLean is different from us after all," said Delphi. "His responsibility probably has exceeded our imagination... And at his point, I think... It may not be easy to use the word 'burden'. Maybe that's why we can't guess what he wants to do."
"Yes."
For a moment of silence, Hermione only answered softly. This was not because she didn't answer for a moment, but because the battle in front of her finally entered the most tense stage - the devil "anger" struggled repeatedly after being trapped, as if she had infinite power and energy. Until this moment, she was finally freed from the multiple magic traps.
After a burst of repression led by Hermione, she finally found a breathing gap and spoke loudly:
"Hold on, Luna, they haven't finished the layout yet... Sarah, can you please do it again?"
"I'll try," Sarah, who was a little behind, immediately replied, "but it's best not to expect too much."
Sarah's alchemy is becoming stronger and stronger with the continuous improvement of the integrity of her soul. Even the actual combat she was not good at now has a very important position in the team.
In terms of control ability, her alchemy array is no worse than Hermione's current gravity rules.
Unfortunately, the enemy they need to face now is not an ordinary corpse or anything, but an extremely powerful demon! Hermione can't hold her anger by gravity alone, and Sarah's alchemy is not much worse.
"Back!"
Seeing that the situation was really bad, Hermione had to ask the people around to step back to the South and look at Delphi on her side at the same time.
"Delphi, can you find a way to delay it again? Luna and Ginny need more time."
She still remembers that when she was attacked by "anger" in the burrow stronghold, Delphi dragged the behemoth for a long time in order to block the other party's progress.
Just now, Delphi listened but hesitated.
"Yes, yes," she said, "it's just... With my means, the guy will probably get into a violent state in advance... You have to think about it!"
As soon as Delphi's words were uttered, Hermione immediately fell into a deeper hesitation. While she helped Sarah to resist the "anger" and hesitated, three figures finally swooped down from the air with the roaring wind.
Harry, they're here!
