Chapter 1503: The Struggle on the Edge of the Forbidden Forest
For Helbo, no matter how many Maca attacks he withstands, he was not harmed; But for Maca, only constant dodging can ensure that she is not harmed.
And a completely unequal battle like this is undoubtedly difficult to sustain.
"Oops!"
In the pursuit and dodge at extremely high speed, the left arm that was injured earlier naturally became a burden. No matter how much he paid attention, he was still picked up by Helbo's backhand on his left shoulder because of his unnatural movements.
Yes, he had actually tried his best to speed up the dodge, but in the end he was still wiped to a little bit. And it was that "a little" contact that made him feel the terrifyingly strong power that Helbo now has.
"Bang-"
Maca, who was flying at high speed in mid-air, was shot down to the ground in an instant, and a clear and audible sound followed. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and applied protective magic to himself, I'm afraid that blood would have splattered on the spot.
However, the impact of landing can be eliminated, but the previous backhand blow of Helbona was real. You don't need to look at it right now to know that his shoulders are definitely a bloody mess.
Of course, what seems to be a serious injury to others is obviously not a priority for Maca.
Facing the black figure that immediately enlarged rapidly from the air, he did not hesitate to turn the staff in his right hand upside down, and decisively met it with a sharp end.
"Bell!"
Helbo, who was approaching rapidly, voluntarily stopped the moment the staff stabbed him in the chest. Then, I saw him bow his head fiercely, open his mouth and bite the rod.
"Boom-"
With a crisp crack of metal, the basilisk horn staff, which had been with Maca for years, finally snapped off - and bitten by the demon's fangs.
And just as Maca quickly stepped aside, Helbo licked his teeth as if he was a little concerned, as if he was a little nostalgic and said to himself:
"Hmm...... There is a familiar smell. β
"Can you not be familiar!"
As she spoke, Maca took out a bottle of healing potion and slapped it on her shoulder, scribbling the bloody shoulder.
"It was originally made from the horn of the basilisk that you researched the cultivation method, if you don't feel familiar with it, I really have to doubt the authenticity of the content of the relevant ancient books!"
This time it's not that Maca is used to complaining, but ...... He was very clear about where he had just landed. If you go a little further, you should go to Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
In order to keep Helbo away from the castle, it is better to attract his attention and get him out of here as soon as possible.
"Oh, basilisk? It's so nostalgic......"
Helbo glanced down at the fragments that had broken from the maca staff, and nodded.
"You've carved a lot of runes, and I'm almost unrecognizable."
He was talking to Maca, and it seemed that he had really focused on the conversation. But in the next second, I saw him suddenly turn his head and look in the direction of the castle behind him.
"Speaking of 'nostalgia'...... McLean, you know what? In fact, I've been nostalgic for this castle since I crawled out of the ground! After all, the only thing I've seen so far that is still 'old' seems to be this castle. β
"Tsk."
Seeing that Helbo was not affected by his words, he still turned his head in the direction he least wanted him to see, and couldn't help but smack his tongue slightly.
"'The only one'?" He stuffed the severed staff back into the pocket on his waist, and said with a slight frown, "If you want to say that it hasn't changed much, isn't there still your 'tomb'?" β
Maca's words are somewhat ironic. Because no matter how you think about it, the so-called "Tomb of Helbo" could not have been built by the other party himself.
"Humph......"
After hearing Maca's sarcastic words, Helpo finally turned around.
"Nothing has changed there...... Maybe! Unfortunately, I had been shoved into the ground by the Slytherin guy before the 'Catacombs' were built, but I didn't have a chance to find out what it looked like when it was built! β
With that, Helbo coldly exerted a force under his feet, and the force was so strong that the ground was kicked out of a dirt pit.
However, just as he was about to rush towards Maca again, and even Maca was ready to dodge, a puff of blue-white flames rushed out from the sideways, causing both to stop in place.
"Professor McGonagall? Get out of here, this-"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw McGonagall emerge from the nearby woods, holding a large, rather crudely carved wooden goblet.
In the wooden cup, the flames were constantly jumping, and many of them seemed to overflow.
"Goblet of Fire?"
Yes, because the Triwizard was won by Harry by accident, the Goblet of Fire remained at Hogwarts according to the rules. Maca naturally remembers this.
But can this thing still be used in battle?
The flame in the Goblet of Fire is based on the Eternal Flame - the Flame of Gublai, which may sound mysterious and bluffing, but in fact it only has the effect of "not extinguishing".
This kind of flame is suitable for giving gifts to the Giant Tribe, but it is not of much use other than that.
However, the flame that Professor McGonagall had spilled just now seemed to be different from what Maca had imagined.
"Maca, find a way to contain him!"
"No, Professor McGonagall! It's uselessβ"
Although Maca was indeed a little surprised by the appearance of the Goblet of Fire at the moment, he did feel the power from the windless automatic flame.
Unfortunately, that may have been powerful enough for McGonagall, but it didn't work much for Helbo today.
Play with fire, that guy is a connoisseur!
"Bang!"
Just as Maca tried to stop McGonagall, the flames in the Goblet of Fire were already unleashing like waves again, turning into a blue-and-white phoenix in midair.
Undoubtedly, this is Professor McGonagall's best transfiguration, and it now seems to have the essence of Dumbledore.
However, not enough! It's still not enough!
"It scared the hell out of me...... Hmph, Phoenix? With an empty body but no soul, there is still a long way to go on the road of summoning! β
If this fire phoenix was really constructed through the orthodox "Spirit Summoning Technique", perhaps Helbo would have to be cautious. However, as he said, Transfiguration was only a part of the ancient summoning technique, and the soulless Fire Phoenix was just a ball of flames in its own form.
Helbo just threw a punch back, and it was blown away in an instant.
