Rumble!!

The moment the explosion began, all the teachers and their prefects rushed out of the castle at this moment, trying to activate a defensive spell to keep the castle safe.

Unfortunately, the explosion came too quickly, too suddenly, beyond everyone's expectations.

As soon as they raised their wands, those ancient defensive spells collapsed under the frantic blasting, and even the ancient black iron gate of the castle was directly lifted into the sky at this moment.

Bang!!

There were several earth-shattering loud noises, and the billowing smoke rose into the air like an overwhelming sandstorm, accompanied by scarlet flames blooming beautifully, like enchanting and gorgeous flowers on the other side.

Violent explosions rang out, buildings crumbled one after another, and shattered stones and dirt fell like meteor showers, mercilessly slamming into the wand-raising wizards on the hunting grounds.

......

......

High in the air, under the flapping of metal wings, Sylby pointed to the crowd and asked Hoffa excitedly.

"Do you look at them, do they look like a flock of sheep?"

"These are fates!" roared Hoffa.

"Life?"

High in the air, Sylby said disdainfully: "Only the most cynical people would call these creatures life, and live insensitively in the corners of Scotland, ignorant of foreign affairs, trying in vain to escape the conflicts and distractions of the world." This is not what human beings should be, Bach ......."

Bang!!

He was answered with a punch, and Hoffa slammed it into his face.

"Don't you think, I'll never let this happen!"

"Haha, what can you do, Hoffa!?"

Sylby turned his head, but the punch made him laugh.

The flames of the explosion drew nearer and closer, and Sylbi's gray hair flew, and the light made his whole face blazing like fire, and he laughed wildly under the palm of Hoffa:

"You can't do anything, you can't protect anyone, you couldn't protect me before, you can't protect your friends now, and you can't protect this school......"

Hoffa didn't say a word, his expression was so solemn that he let go of his fingers. Sylby and the Hogwarts Orb fall from the sky.

Then, he flapped his wings and floated in the air, flying higher and higher. Sylby's laughter grew smaller and quieter as he fell, and the screams of the students and the angry shouts of the teachers grew smaller and smaller in the school.

There was only a sea of fire and a shockwave that were constantly compressing his living space, and Hoffa's wand was taken away by Sylbie, leaving him with few options, or only one.

He's failed a lot this year, but this time, he can't afford to fail.

As the endless sea of fire and endless explosions drew closer, Hoffa took one last deep breath of air and entered a meditative state, forcibly calming himself down.

At this moment, his **, his faith, reached its peak before the crisis.

He closed his eyes, and the magic surged through him.

The moment the overwhelming flames engulfed him, his lips opened and closed slightly, his arms opened, and the whole person was like a humanoid cross.

"Tariko-Skita ....."

The incantation moved, and a huge amount of magical power poured out of his limbs, forming a bulbous shield.

The shield glowed with a transparent blue glow, dazzling to the point of blindness.

Immediately, he opened his eyes!

In the blink of an eye, that shield spread directly from the size of a person to a diameter of ten meters, fifty meters, a hundred meters, a diameter of five hundred meters, and a diameter of one thousand meters.

Forcibly separated the flames.

The moment the shield swept past him, the prefects and teachers who had been desperate were startled.

Boom Boom Boom !!

The explosion was untold in force, carrying cannonball-like rubble and energy, crashing into the shield like a sea of mountains.

At this moment, the bright moon in the sky eclipsed in front of him. Hoffa turned into a massive orb shield that enveloped most of the school, blocking the endless explosions and flames.

The magic power passed rapidly in the body, and on the magic watch, the hands quickly descended. 5X，4X，3X，2X，1X。

At the center of the explosion, Hoffa's forehead was bruised, and every muscle in his body was trembling.

The first time he used the shield spell, he used such a huge shield, even with the spiritual bonus of the meditation method, his spirit seemed to be clumsy, and his strength was not enough.

Hoffa dispatches all his forces to the limit, which is beyond the limits of the human body, but also beyond the limits of life, and even more beyond the limits of the spirit.

Every second that the explosion continued, he felt like he was living for years.

The sky-high flames and the unyielding shield in the firelight were reflected in everyone's pupils.

In the crowd behind Hoffa, Dumbledore was the first to react, and he drank decisively: "What are you waiting for, everyone, release the magic together, help him!"

His tone was utterly unquestioning and authoritative, and all the teachers and prefects immediately raised their wands in unison, and a flash of light appeared from the tip of the wand, and the light rose into the sky like thin lines, striking the shield held up by Hoffa.

Their magic converged on the shield that Hoffa had condensed. With each shot, the shield grows by one point and shines brighter by one point.

But the magic of teachers and prefects alone is still not enough. Under the licking of tongues of fire like a corona, a crack suddenly appeared on the shield.

First one, then two, then four, eight, sixteen......

The situation was critical, and due to the strong energy of the explosion, the cracks in the shield were getting bigger and bigger. Flames erupt through the chasm.

......

......

And at the moment when Hoffa stretched out the shield.

Inside the castle, the students ran in panic, their six gods and no masters, trying to burrow into the Slytherin basement to escape the sudden disaster.

"Oh, no......"

Witnessing all this, Aglaia rushed to the hunting ground outside the castle, and Miranda didn't hold her back, but could only shout behind her: "Hey, calm down!"

The sound was drowned out by the crowd and the explosion, and it didn't get out in the slightest, and even her body was staggered by the crowd.

Miranda angrily pushed away the man who had knocked her shoulder, jumped straight into the air, and stopped the entrance to the Slytherin basement.

With open arms, he stopped everyone who tried to leave the hall.

She calmly gathered her magic power into her mouth and said coldly, "Everyone, go out with me." ”

The inexplicable cold spiritual force field shocked everyone.

The crowd was stunned, and then there was an uproar.

"Fuck off, when is it?"

"Are you sick?"

A group of Slytherins yelled, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way." ”

But Miranda said coldly: "Retreat, die." ”

She has a cold aura on her body, which makes people tremble.

"Go, go, your brain is not normal! If you don't want to die, I'll die!"

A boy with pale blonde hair jerked Miranda and tried to get past her, none other than Abraxas Malfoy.

As soon as he finished speaking, five huge spears and shields rained down from the sky and stopped in front of the row of Slytherins. One of them stabbed out with a sharp spear like lightning.

Malfoy couldn't react yet, and was directly pierced through the shoulders by the ironclad guard, strung into the sky.

He howled, "Do you want to die, Goshak ......"

The latter words were inaudible as a silent spell sealed his mouth.

"Stand back, die!"

Miranda said mercilessly.

"What do you want?" asked a Hufflepuff in horror.

"I... I'm warning you... You're not, no. A Gryffindor student said.

"Let's ...... Let's ...... Let's ...... Get in. Another Ravenclaw said.

In the face of the mixed and uneasy emotions, Miranda only spat out two words stiffly.

"Get out. Help. ”

After saying that, another row of blue ironclad guards descended from the sky, firmly sealing the retreat route.

Looking at the row of ironclad guards in front of him, and then looking at the death that was close at hand, some people trembled, and even dozens of students fainted on the spot because they were entangled and couldn't make a choice, and their crotches were soaked.

But a small number of people paid attention to Miranda's meaning, and they turned their heads stiffly.

Driven by Miranda, hundreds of students came to the hunting ground and raised their wands along with the teachers.

Beams of bright light shot into the sky.

......

......

However, even so.

Under the magic of so many teachers and students.

The power of the 10,000-ton TNT-equivalent explosion was still unimaginable, and the rift was growing bigger and bigger in the shield hanging over Hogwarts House.

Flames began to spew in through the chasm, and the explosion produced a massive sound wave that deafed Hoffa in both ears at the center of the shield, and he felt all the sounds leave him, leaving only himself in silence.

Can't stop it?

Reaching the limit?

Sweat slid down his cheeks and seeped into his mouth, bitter beyond words.

The flow of time seemed to slow down, and it was clear that there was a sky-high fire around him, but Hoffa could not see any light, he seemed to see the future, it was a terrible dead silence, a dark darkness where no grass was born.

In desperation, he raised his head and saw the full moon in the firelight, and at this moment he stared at the starry sky, and the starry sky stared at him, without joy or sorrow, as if such a scene was just commonplace for it.

It has never changed.

The world has never changed.

Change is always the life in it.

Looking for the light under the darkness, it was already this time, but Hofa's thoughts began to wander inexplicably.

He was thinking that when the universe was first born, there was darkness everywhere.

But there must have been some power that gave birth to the light like fireflies, those stars that illuminate one side of the universe alone.

They were so far away from each other, and they seemed so lonely, but they hadn't changed since the day they burned.

On a macroscopic scale, stars are just a moment in the universe, and they disappear in an instant, and darkness is the eternal truth.

When the entropy value is infinite, everything will eventually be reduced to a heat death, and the end of everything is already doomed. Everything is splendid, everything is prosperous, but after all, it is just vanity.

But what is the reason for these stars to shine in the sky?

What's the point?

Burning will hasten death. I understand that dwarfs can hide in corners for a long, long time, why there are red giants, why there are supernovas that burst out and splendor in an instant.

Why should there be light?

Oh yes.

Because the outbreak brings matter.

Because matter brings life.

With life, there will be observation.

With observation, we will find beauty.

With beauty, life will be given meaning.

The world comes and goes, some people choose madness, some choose indifference, and some choose darkness.

But there must also be people who, like themselves, looked up at the starry sky in the most difficult times, examined life, and examined themselves.

Why do the stars burn?

Why light up the world?

Why look for the light in the darkness?

Maybe the world also wants to show the best side to life.

Bang knock.

Bang knock.

That's his heartbeat.

Bang knock.

Bang knock.

So powerful!

He lowered his head and was a hundred meters above the ground.

The glow of the sky-high flames reflected his face.

The answer has always been in himself, and he can really do better.

The rift increased at a double rate, and Hoffa glanced at the magic on his watch that was about to bottom out, and at the countless lives behind him, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he turned his head.

Don't you think ......!

He increased the input of mana.

A flush welled up Hoffa's cheeks. He gritted his teeth, the muscles of his face were as hard as sculptures, and two streams of blood flowed from his nostrils.

The rifts in the shield are still developing.

Inadequate......

It's not enough!!

He gritted his teeth and squeezed four words out between his teeth.

"Blood blooms. ”

Mana: 5

Mana: 6

Mana: 7

Mana: 8

Mana: 9

Magic.......

As if he had crossed an invisible cordon, he shattered the glass with a punch, and everything around him completely lost its sound, and all he could hear was the sound of his own heartbeat and breathing faster and faster.

The wings behind Hoffa gradually disappeared, his body could no longer maintain a state of activation, and his hair quickly turned from black to white.

A powerful force was quickly infused into the shield, not only magic, but also another force from life!

Before this force, the flames and explosions were stubbornly blocked from the shield.

The fissures quickly heal and disappear.

In the midst of everyone's shocked gaze, a super shield appeared in the sky above Hogwarts.

The man in the center of the shield was so dazzling, so strong, so powerful, so indestructible, as if he were the brightest star in the night sky.

There he was, with his arms outstretched, his chest puffed out, and he was unafraid to bloom with life. All the flames and explosions receded, and in his light, it seemed that all darkness had been completely broken.

Sylby lay on the ground, looking at Hoffa in the huge shield in the sky, and smiled helplessly but triumphantly. "You, you...... What a ......."

Laughing and laughing, he gradually became sad, he sighed and shook his head: "Brother, no matter what the result is, I will always remember you." ”
