Chapter 865: Soul Eating
I don't know when it began, the entire Heeberch School of Magic suddenly fell silent.
The breeze that blows in from nowhere is still stirring the treetops, and the birds chirp softly in the vestibule.
But if someone is in this school, an inexplicable dead silence will suddenly come over their hearts, and they can't help but want to turn around and flee.
Where does this strange feeling come from?
In fact, people are sometimes a little more sluggish than they think. Especially when you are anxious, it tends to make your mind sluggish.
And only when you get used to this feeling and calm down, maybe you will find out -
"Oh, so this school is missing two of the most basic elements!"
Yes, if there is not a single student or teacher in a campus, can it still be called a "school"?
Suddenly, the Heeberhe School of Magic and Wizardry, which is devoid of people, seems to have lost its soul and meaning, and once you step inside, you will quickly feel that strange emptiness......
Oh, it's like going to a school with no one on vacation. It only takes a few moments for a strangeness to engulf you in an instant.
So here's the problem......
Where have all those teachers and students of Heberch gone at this moment?
The answer to this question is actually quite simple - they are all now standing in the shadows one by one in the shadows of the recently opened large underground chamber.
It was not difficult to see from the pair of eyes that their hearts were churning with fear and panic, but they couldn't move even a little finger.
Without the old man's next command, they would have stood stiff and stiff until they died.
"We ...... Will it die? ”
They had been standing in the darkness for a long time, from anger, horror, worry, and fear at first, to almost unanimous confusion now.
Most of them have thought about this question for so long.
To say that people are going to die, there is not much choice. But almost every one of them is still young, and at this age, who would want to die like this?
But when they all watched helplessly as the array on the ground in front of them gradually became complete, they watched as the patterns and symbols symbolizing terrible things in the array were added one by one......
The breath of death rose with the mystery of magic, and it took hold of each and every one of them.
Suddenly, the old wizard, who was carefully drawing patterns and lines, threw his pen away, and carefully examined the magic array as a whole a few times before nodding slightly.
"You, come here."
But when he suddenly stretched out his hand to point, the male student he randomly pointed at involuntarily stepped forward and walked from the darkness to the torch.
"Stand there."
The old wizard pointed again, and let the boy go to a designated position in the magic circle.
"And you, go and stand there...... You, on the other side...... You ......"
This time, he pointed out more than a dozen people in a row, and ordered them to stand silently at the corresponding nodes in the magic array, and it didn't take long for nearly twenty students to stand in the array.
These students are all different in height, shortness, fat and thinness, and even in terms of age. But if you look closely, you will find that the lower grades and younger ones are basically on the periphery, while the upper grades are mostly near the center of the matrix.
As the students filled the magic circle one by one, the old wizard stopped. And in the next moment, I saw him slam his thin big hand, and the magic power in his body instantly poured into the mysterious magic array.
Immediately afterward, the arcs and runes began to glow with a light glow, plating the robes of those students with a layer of glow green.
They couldn't speak, let alone tear their throats open and scream. The only thing they can do is to stare their eyes wide and vent their fears with their eyes.
It's a pity that even if they stared out their eyes, the old wizard wouldn't waver in any way.
He had been accustomed to this kind of scene since many years ago.
"Up!"
He used the ancient Greek word for the highest possible response to magic, and the ancient language of the wizarding world had a high degree of utility here.
And just as the words were settled, the glowing light green light suddenly burst out with an astonishing brightness, and at that moment, it almost pierced people's eyes.
After a dozen seconds, the green light softened again, as if nothing had happened.
But just when the students in the magic array were still in shock, the boy standing in the middle suddenly trembled.
The corners of his mouth soon frothed at the corners, and transparent tears welled up in his eyes. Immediately, the white foam between his mouth and nose began to mix with wisps of blood, and his tears gradually turned a faint pink.
When his throat began to stir incessantly, and his saliva and tears turned dark red, blood began to appear in both ears.
At this moment, the eyes of the students in the magic array showed incomparable fear, and several girls couldn't even suppress their red eyes.
But they still couldn't move, they could only watch what was happening in front of them, and they were constantly worried about who would be next.
A sense of confusion that was stronger than before spread silently in this underground chamber.
I don't know how long it took, but the student in the middle who was bleeding from the seven orifices probably couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground with a click.
However, he still did not stop moving.
It can be seen that his chest and abdomen are still agitating again and again, and large mouthfuls of blood are pouring out as if endless, flowing everywhere in the magic array.
The light green glow emitted by the entire magic array was gradually dyed a miserable dark red by the blood.
"Hmph, good...... Very good! Seeing this, the old wizard couldn't help but sneer, "So...... Let's get started! ”
With that, with another wave of his hand, several runes flew up from the array covered with fresh blood, and each one of them flashed with blood-colored light.
At the same time, the remaining ten or so students in the magic array began to tremble in unison, and a faint "Titika" sound involuntarily came out of their throats.
"Soul!"
In an instant, the old wizard spoke again, chanting in ancient Greek.
And almost at the same time, a phantom suddenly appeared on the student who fell to the ground and was still spitting blood, and it rose little by little.
"Soul!"
He chanted the word again, and translucent shadows began to appear on the bodies of the other students in the magic array.
But if you observe it yourself, you will find that the soul phantoms around you are obviously more fierce and vicious than the one in the middle, just like a hungry beast.
On the other hand, the deities of those souls have their eyes slightly closed and their faces calm, as if they were just temporarily asleep.
At this point, it's in that next second......
"Devour!"
The old wizard pointed to the middle of the magic circle, and the hideous soul phantoms pounced on it, as if he were directing a pack of cruel wolves to kill a poor goat.
But in the blink of an eye, one soul was eaten by other souls, and not even the slightest residue remained.
Seeing this, the old wizard nodded in satisfaction, and then waved his hand casually.
The souls with fierce faces returned to their respective bodies, and their eyes that had been closed opened one by one, but the panic in their eyes turned into some kind of violence and greed.
Faintly, it seems that a slight translucent distortion can be seen around its body, which looks extremely terrifying.
After they automatically walked to the other end of the secret room and stood silently, the old wizard no longer looked at them, but continued to light the next batch of students who entered the magic circle for soul transformation.
"You, there...... And you, go there......"
Before today, Helmbo had already remodeled a small group of men, and it was one of those people who had seriously injured Lupin a few days ago.
But at that time, the transformation was made by Helbo himself one by one, which was not only very inefficient, but also prone to "inferior products" with low degree of completion.
And now, with such a magic array here, how much more will the improvement in the speed of transformation in the future be the difference in the number of people who transform each time?
It's just that, to be honest, Helbo didn't really want to make such a magic array.
Due to the extinction of many species, the materials he used are now hard to find, and he doesn't currently have the time to find a modern replacement for them.
As a result, it was quite difficult for him to draw a magic circle.
The thought that the ink made in the Werther family was meant to be reserved for demon summoning spells, Helbo couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh.
It's a pity that Sirius caused him a mess that forced him to use it to stabilize the situation first.
……
What Helpo is currently doing, Maca is not clear for the time being.
Of course, that was what Haypotter intended to hide, and even the wizards who were still keeping a close eye on the Israeli wizarding world didn't know about it, and he was far away at Hogwarts.
But today's cipher note from Lupin and Sirius made him aware of last night's chaos.
At this moment, Maca was still holding a quill in her hand, doing a series of calculations at her desk. He's been a little tired lately, but at least Ron's has made him somewhat relaxed.
Suddenly, he lifted the pen and gently put it back into the inkwell. After flipping through the papers and checking some data against each other, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's ...... It's done, right? Makara nodded slightly, "At least in theory......
