Chapter 1519: A Race Against Time

Fighting for hours on end, everyone will be tired, and Maca is no exception.

From the afternoon to the night, even Harry, who had been endowed with supernatural powers by the Gryffindor sword, fell to the ground several times and had to rest, but Maca persevered.

However, those living corpses are like cockroaches that cannot be extinguished, not only are they numerous, but they are also getting stronger.

Even if you can't see much change in a short time, after a few hours, you can probably see it if you are not blind - they are very different from the first place in appearance alone.

It can be seen that the pitch-black matter that gradually covered the body of the living corpse in the past is no longer limited to the surface of the body. The deep level of fusion has made the physique of those living corpses significantly improved.

As far as modern magic is concerned, with the exception of a few spells with particularly high lethality, such as the Explosion Curse and the Killing Curse, it is difficult to inflict enough damage on them.

However, it's not just the enemy's ability to resist demons that is worrying - the army of living corpses is gradually moving faster due to the increase in physical strength. Even if Maca resisted head-on without stopping, it was only barely enough to suppress the forward movement of the living corpses to about the same extent as the evacuation team.

If this continues, the fighting will spread to Muggle cities that have not yet completed their evacuations.

Thankfully, there is good news.

“…… Well? On the contrary, was the right arm, which was once completely smashed, restored first? ”

After squeezing the magic power with some difficulty, and once again freezing a batch of living corpses into "popsicles", Maca, who was gasping for breath and retreating slightly, suddenly paused, and then slowly raised her right hand a little outside.

Seeing his palms gradually clenched into fists in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief - he couldn't move his arms, in the end it was still quite inconvenient, and relying entirely on mental thoughts to cast spells was not only very easy to get tired, but also not conducive to the adjustment of precision and the saving of mana.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that modern wands are lacking in materials and craftsmanship, they would be light, slender, and accurate than ancient wands.

"I really want to be able to completely put aside these troubles one day, calm down and do some research!"

Maca complained in her heart as she stretched out her right hand and quickly sketched a cooling rune in front of her with a wave of her fingers.

In the next moment, he saw that misty cold air suddenly condensed at his fingertips, turning into a sharp white ice edge.

"If you don't save a little more, the magic will really be insufficient...... However, even though this is a 'application of what you have learned', you really never imagined that one day you will be able to pick up the dagger and fight again! Anyway, at least for that, I'm going to have to say 'thank you' to Naroi Namira—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Maca kick under her feet at the moment when she gently grasped the ice edge, and then disappeared from the spot.

"Maca...... What's that speed? ”

Harry, who was being left behind by two Aurors with his arms on his shoulder, couldn't help but sigh when he saw that scene.

"If only I could be that fast—"

This is obviously not entirely impossible, but only if he gains further approval from the Gryffindor Sword and allows him to lend him more power.

Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but tighten his grip on the hilt of the sword that had been clutching it in his hand.

"Whew!"

The edge of ice that Maca condensed with the help of the cooling rule was naturally far less sharp than the Gryffindor sword. Not only that, but it's even a bit blunt compared to ordinary blades.

However, every living corpse that was slashed through its body would be quickly invaded by the terrifying cold that attached to it.

Under Maca's high-speed movements, the ice edges continued to sweep through the crowd of living corpses, and although the efficiency of knocking down enemies was not as high as the previous large areas of cold currents and direct beam of regular power, it was not much slower.

The clearing team, which was already difficult to participate in the battle, watched from the rear as Maca flashed and disappeared behind one enemy after another, and the result was that the enemies fell in rows and rows.

For a while, the sound of "plopping" falling to the ground in the army of living corpses was endless.

When Maca had eliminated some of the living corpses at the forefront in a dash and buried them deep into the ground as he had done before, he took a slight breath and retreated.

"Kingsley! How far is it from the city of Settingborn? To what extent is the evacuation going on over there? ”

Seeing Maca turn her head and ask in a loud voice, Kingsley immediately replied:

"There are still two miles (3.2 km) or so, and at the current pace, we'll be on the edge of the city in about half an hour! As for the progress of the evacuation...... It should be about the same, just in time! ”

But Maca, who heard the news, couldn't be happy at all.

"It's barely enough to get here, not to mention the small blocks on the way, and there's a town of Faversham halfway between Canterbury and Sittingborn......"

Not only that, but since Maca's magic power is also about to bottom out, and in order to save mana, the efficiency of blocking the living corpses will naturally be reduced to a greater or lesser extent.

In other words, the enemy's travel speed will definitely increase from here.

But just as Maca frowned and said that it was tricky, he heard Kingsley shout at him again:

"Don't worry! Just now, there was new news from Spiral Town, saying that a group of volunteers of evacuees had rushed to Faversham Town first! Lupin had also given them a sufficient number of portkeys, and with the assistance of the Muggle army, the efficiency should not be much lower! ”

"Volunteer team?"

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and several familiar figures flashed in her mind.

"Let's not mention anyone else, Hermione must be inside!"

Thinking of this, to be honest, he didn't know whether he should "smile" at himself who guessed this instantly.

……

As it turned out, Maca knew Miss Granger's mind very well.

A few hours ago, as Hermione pondered what else she could do in the square, she quickly thought of the tight front line from Delphi, who hadn't been to the front.

It's just that although going to the front to fight is also a big wish in her heart, she also knows very well that with her own strength, she is not suitable for charging into battle.

And after a little consideration on that basis...... What else can she do, the answer seems obvious.

After that, after overhearing the conversation between the members of the Wizarding Duel Club, Delphi proposed that Hermione immediately decide to gather all the wizards who were willing to risk their lives to seek Lupin's consent and support.

I don't know if it was because of seeing Delphi with him, or because the evacuation speed was always insufficient, Hermione's proposal was passed quickly.

So, after a few hours of preparation......

"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow the guidance in an orderly manner, and do not crowd—"
