"I'm still alive...... Ha! I'm still alive......"

The glare faded, and everyone squinted and looked back with tears in their eyes, only to see a Ron holding a wand and smirking to himself.

“…… It's a shadow! That thing is a shadow! As he spoke, he immediately shook his wand again, "If you shine a strong light on it, you won't be able to get close!" ”

"Shadows?"

Hermione wiped away the tears that had come from the light with her sleeve, and then looked left and right a few times—the shadow was nowhere to be found.

It's just that Ron, who had just been attacked, was still riding on his broom unscathed at the moment, which was an indisputable fact.

"No wonder the rules of gravity don't work against it......" she thought for a moment and whispered to herself, "but even if it's really a shadow, how do you deal with it?" ”

Thinking about it, Hermione immediately waved her wand as well, summoning a bright magical glow. This light doesn't have to be too strong, it's enough to illuminate the surrounding fog.

Seeing this, the others also cast their wands to glow their spells, making the surrounding space brilliant.

"Don't let your guard down, and then ......," Hermione reminded, then paused before adding, "Anyway, wait and see!" ”

So, as it turned out, Ron seemed to have guessed correctly.

During the next ten minutes of waiting, Luna said that she could still sense the lingering malice lingering nearby, but the distorted shadow never appeared again.

"I'll just say it! I did see the guy writhe a little as Hermione's disarming spell squirmed, and then I wondered if it was the glow from the spell that affected its control of the shadows - and the sudden extra light would only be shadows? ”

Ron looked around and said happily, only to see that Ginny finally couldn't help but turn her head and glare at him as usual.

However, this time his observations and discoveries did indeed bring great help to everyone. If there were a few more attacks like the previous ones, sooner or later someone would have been injured as a result.

"Okay, I know you're amazing." Hermione also rolled her eyes at him, and then said, "It seems that it will not attack again for the time being, and Ron's discovery seems to only allow us to avoid a sneak attack from the other party to a certain extent...... It would be bad for us to stay any longer, so let's move on! ”

With that, she took the lead in pulling up the speed of the broomstick and flew towards the east. Seeing this, everyone was busy and immediately accelerated to follow with tacit understanding.

In this way, Ron, who was a little excited because he finally came in handy, could only close his mouth again, lest he be poured into a cool breeze before he could say a few words.

Of course, even as they continued to hurry, they didn't forget to think further about what was attacking them just now.

"Except for Helmo in this mist, there seems to be only the living corpse under his hands," Hermione muttered to herself, "and that ...... Maybe it's another high-level living corpse, right? ”

Truth be told, the level of threat that the shadow could pose was much higher than the level of the lava living corpses Harry had encountered before!

……

After Hermione and the others resumed their journey, another half hour passed, and everyone who had been able to travel at a relatively fast pace finally had to start slowing down.

Because as the journey is halfway through, the density of living corpses begins to increase again.

"Everyone, slow down, be safe!" Harry waved his hand, "A little further on is Downton, near Salisbury. The last time we were there with Mr. Blois, there were evolved individuals everywhere in the city and in the suburbs, and there were countless ordinary living corpses...... This time there may be fewer of them, but I don't think it will be less. ”

It's also worth mentioning that Ron was injured around that last time. Even if he has the ability to heal himself, he has been recuperating from his injuries until recently, which can be regarded as leaving some psychological shadows on him.

And voila! At this moment, his face had already begun to change, so that even the excitement that had been born because it was difficult to get back into the limelight had completely left behind.

"Well," Hermione nodded, shouting against the strong wind of the flight, "Ron, Hannah, Ginny, you continue to maintain the Glowing Charm, and the battle is left to Harry and Neville...... Luna, always pay attention to the situation around us, and immediately warn if there is anything unusual. ”

"Okay!"

When Luna heard this, she immediately raised her arms as if she was in class.

And just a few minutes after Hermione assigned the group their respective tasks, Harry's reminder quickly turned into a reality that had increased the pressure on the people - the flight altitude they maintained could no longer avoid the increasing number of flying living corpses in the air!

"Bang!"

As a gray glow of magic was dispersed by Harry's sword, a fierce battle in the air began.

Although the living corpses that can fly in the air are mostly different, they can basically be roughly divided into two categories according to the attack method:

One is individuals who rely purely on specialized high-strength bodies for hand-to-hand combat; On the other hand, there are individuals who are relatively fragile, but are able to use a few natural magic talents to attack from a distance.

It's just that compared to the latter, those who are physically strong and even have a certain amount of demon resistance can obviously cause more trouble to Hermione and them.

"Harry, Hermione, I'll see if I can get some of it out of the way like Mr. Blois."

As if remembering the sight of Blois summoning the Flame Wyvern to distract many enemies, Neville thought about it and simply rolled over from the back of the Lion Patronus and rode on the same broom as Hannah. Without having to carry his patronus anymore, he immediately accelerated, dragging the silver tail into the air and rushing forward.

After a silent roar, the soaring silver lion swooped into the middle of a group of flying living corpses, rushing left and right to bite and slap at the sight of the enemy. Suddenly, there was a commotion among the living corpses.

Seeing that it was feasible, Neville did not let the Patronus fall in love, and after harassing him, he turned around and rushed to the other side, taking with him many individuals who were more inclined to melee combat.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Hermione immediately nodded, but her hands were not idle. While constantly resisting the incoming magic, several rune cards also flew out, falling silently towards the remote species a little farther away.
