Chapter 2106: Waking Up from a Nightmare
In the future, Harry will definitely be one of the most important forces against demons and Helmo. At least according to some of the memories in his head, Delphi did think so.
However, not to mention the situation in the face of Helbo himself, these demons that have come to the world are powerful enough to be difficult to deal with. Judging by their strength, it is certainly not enough for the current Harry to be able to use the rules of wrath only in a short period of time with the constraints of the right conditions.
For example, this time, seeing the giant demon suddenly attack, everyone was only able to stop it from moving forward with difficulty. Even if there was no Delphi to contain it at this time, Harry's arrival would have been just one more helper who could barely break through his tough flesh.
Compared to the huge body of the Giant Demon, Harry's Gryffindor Sword is probably equivalent to a nail clipper at best! With that little damage, maybe it won't be able to catch up with the speed of this big guy's self-healing.
You know, not to mention these weird and terrifying demons - even the living corpses that are everywhere now have a certain ability to recover themselves!
"Then you can prepare first...... Tell me when you're ready. ”
After watching Delphi rush straight forward with his cane, and then say a word to Safina not far away, he swung his staff and rolled up a large expanse of ice crystals and snowflakes, and kept slashing at the demon's exposed half of his body on the ground, but Harry could only hold on to the hilt of his sword and stay in place and hesitate.
"Angry...... Rules...... Spiritual will...... Courage, true courage. ”
Harry, who had had had a direct communication with the will of Gryffindor in the sword, subconsciously recalled what the other party had said at this moment. Although this once again inevitably remembered the other party's disappointment and denial of him, those few attempts at that time were the closest he had come to successfully gaining recognition so far.
Want to venture out again here?
No! In fact, even instinct seemed to warn him that it would be unwise to do so. At that time, he still had a powerful and reliable Maca to watch him no matter what he said, and even if he was close to defeat, Maca could still forcibly pull him back from his desperate situation.
But now...... Now it's on the battlefield of the real thing! Risking life and death to challenge oneself in such a dangerous environment is something that only madmen and outlaws do, right?
However, Harry didn't know what true courage was. But he at least understands that a person who can only do things in perfect and comfortable circumstances may be more than wise, but brave is not enough at all.
As for the alternative approach offered by Maca, even if it finally gave Harry the opportunity to use the power of the rules of rage, it made Harry feel like a complete coward.
"Of course...... At that time, it was definitely not Maka's fault, I can only say that ...... It's me who is too angry. ”
"Boom—"
Just as Harry was more and more annoyed and angry the more he thought about it, a deafening roar suddenly sounded on the battlefield ahead.
As Delphi and Safina join forces with each other and become more entangled with the giant demon, the battle is becoming more and more intense.
As Delphi has said before, containment and procrastination alone will obviously not solve the problem. Not only that, but as the dual consumption of her spirit and magic power continues to increase, the other party's demon who seems to have infinite energy will have an advantage.
If there were no more combat forces that could be the decisive factor, the three of them would sooner or later be forced to retreat into Sarah's alchemy protective barrier.
And when the time comes...... I'm afraid it's not far from the defeat of their team.
Having finally established themselves here, they obviously don't want to go back to square one, and Harry, one of them, naturally has the same views and thoughts.
Retreating, retreating, retreating to the point where even their school, their hometown, and their country were lost, and this was simply a terrifying ultimate nightmare for their group of little wizards.
"This nightmare...... It's time to wake up, too! ”
As he muttered, Harry finally raised the Gryffindor sword in his hand, the silver sword as bright as a mirror had delicate lines and many ancient runes, as if it was one with the sword.
Placing the long sword in front of him in this way, his face was clearly visible under the reflection of the bright sword body.
For a moment, Harry seemed to see some unspeakable mystery in the depths of his own pupils on the sword's body, and ...... All kinds of colorless and formless, but tangible self-feelings.
All of a sudden, time seemed to slow down. Harry's afterglow could be glimpsed for a moment, in the far battlefield behind the sword, where every ice crystal, every snowflake, slowed the fluttering speed.
Of course, how can time "slow down"? Soul rules don't have that much power—it's not the world that's slowing down, it's just Harry's mind.
And in the next moment, a majestic and restless force suddenly surged from the Gryffindor sword, instantly submerging his will.
Harry's movements stopped, just the moment he looked at the sword.
……
"Huh?"
Delphi and Safina, who were battling the demon in the middle of the battle, suddenly turned their heads as if they sensed something, glanced hurried in Harry's direction, and then turned their heads to look at each other again.
Regardless of the level of research and comprehension, the two of them are both holders of a certain branch of the Soul Rule rune after all. When "anger", which is also one of the branches of the soul rule, makes waves, even if it is farther away, it will definitely be perceived.
"It's begun," Delphi reminded as she waved her staff, "Miss Göfgain, remember to keep an eye on Potter's side for a moment, if anything is wrong with him...... Just stay away from him! ”
"Will it get out of control and go on a rampage?" Safina asked.
Delphi nodded suddenly, and deliberately added:
"At least of the few branches of the Soul Rule that I know of, 'Fury' is the most powerful in terms of actual combat."
Although Delphi did not assert it completely, the point conveyed by her words alone was enough to cheer Safina into a twelve-point spirit.
"I see." Safina immediately responded.
