Chapter 1956: The Demon Descends
Harry's speed wasn't really fast - at least he certainly couldn't match Maccabi, so he couldn't use his speed and keen and accurate perception to forcibly block the opponent's spatial movement like he did when Maca and Helbo fought each other.
Luckily, there's a Safina here.
In fact, Safina has not always been reluctant to join forces with others, but after gaining her current power from Maca, she is more efficient in fighting alone.
But this time, it was clear that she alone would not be able to deal with the enemy in front of her.
"Mr. Potter, come to me."
Safina shouted, and then she waved her hand, and poured a large black flame around her. In the blink of an eye, her surroundings were already full of flames, and there was no more space.
"Come in! It's going to be fine, I can control them. ”
Looking at the raging sea of black flames in front of him, although there was not the slightest temperature, Harry could clearly feel the powerful destructive power on the soul contained in it.
However, since Safina has said so...... Clearly, Harry had never been the kind to be shy away. The next moment, Harry gritted his teeth and rushed headlong into the area filled with fire.
"Huh?"
As soon as he entered, Harry immediately felt a very different feeling than when he was outside—bathed in black flames, and although his vision was greatly limited, his perception increased. It was as if the black flames had identified with his existence and become his companions.
In the midst of it, the flow of magic became clearer.
"Notice, it just went far away, but I can feel its hostility still focused on us. Only now, if it wants to attack us, it must enter my flames...... Come to my side at once, Mr. Potter, and prepare to fight back! ”
"Okay."
Unable to see with his eyes, Harry simply closed his eyes and at the same time ran to Safina, in the middle of the fire.
In order for Harry to attack smoothly, Safina had also fallen back to the ground from the air and temporarily joined Harry.
After that, it's a matter of waiting patiently.
However, the enemy didn't seem to be stupid - although he didn't know why, the other party seemed to be able to sense the threat of the sword in Harry's hand, and Safina could clearly feel it staring at this side from a distance, but she refused to come and be fooled.
"Miss Göfgain, how long can you keep this flame on?"
After waiting intently for several minutes, Harry asked.
"Huh?" Safina stood beside him, constantly keeping an eye on where the enemy was, and replied casually, "Don't worry, as long as I want, a few days and nights will not be a problem—in the apse of the church, such a long period of suffering is not for nothing!" ”
"Uh...... Listen to Miss Hohenheim, that was made by Maca? Safina's words made Harry hesitate, "You don't seem to have told us what Maca did to you. ”
"It's just a deal that's not so fair from the point of view of the process." Safina said very blandly, "Of course, in terms of results, it is actually quite fair...... At least I got what I wanted. ”
"What about Maca?" Harry asked.
"I don't know," Safina shook her head, "he just wants me to stay in England – maybe he wants me to do my part to end this disaster!" Even though he barely explained exactly what I was going to do, I felt that he meant it. ”
"Really? That's—"
"Stop talking," Safina said with a sudden wave of her hand, "and it's finally starting to move...... It's going this way...... Here it comes! Behind! ”
Actually, Safina didn't need to say it this time, because she almost shared Harry's perception ability within the Black Flame range. In that instant, Harry himself had sensed the location of the other party at the same time.
Behind you again!
"Uhhh
Just as the creature suddenly dodged out of the flames, Harry also slashed back with a sword in an instant—even if the black flames obscured the sword's light, it couldn't hide its sharpness.
The blade of the Gryffindor sword swept under the opponent's side, and Harry hadn't felt the real feeling of slashing something from the blade to his hand in a long time.
There is no doubt that this shows that the other party's body is not ordinary tough! You know, the last time he had this sense of blockage in his sword, it was Helbo's demonic body.
"Wait!"
Although he finally hit the opponent with a sword this time, the opponent chose to retreat even though he moved the space again, and got out of the range of the flame in time.
Harry wanted to take advantage of the victory, but when he remembered the last time he fought with Maca against Helbo, he was stunned.
“…… Demon? ”
In fact, except for the few times he had heard this word from Maca's mouth, it was actually only known from some Muggle legends when Harry was a Muggle.
That's right, the devil...... But what the devil was, Harry didn't know.
"Mr. Potter...... Porter? What happened to you? ”
"It's all right," Harry shook his head slightly, holding his sword, "I just suddenly thought this guy might ...... It's a 'demon'. ”
"What's that?"
The Goufein family is a wizarding family through and through, and in the wizarding world, rumors about demons have long been buried in the dust of history. Even if you include ancient wizard families like the Werther family, who happen to have relevant inheritances, in the whole of Europe, people who know about it can probably count it on one hand.
"I don't know," Harry said with a frown, "I just heard Maca say that he said that Helmo now has the body of a demon, and that sword just now made me feel very similar to when I stabbed Helpo. ”
"'Demons'?"
Safina pondered, and couldn't help frowning, but soon saw her turn her head abruptly and said:
"It's moving again...... Well? No, it seems to ...... Gave up. ”
"Is it gone?"
Although the perception within the Black Flame range was shared, Harry couldn't sense the situation outside. Hearing Safina say this, he said:
"Can't sense its location at all?"
"At least it's out of my range," Safina thought for a moment, and said suddenly, "Let's go back!" Anyway, let's get out of here first. ”
"Hmm."
Harry nodded in agreement.
