Chapter 1591: The Collapsed Hogwarts Castle
This may have been the first time that Maca had confirmed that she had never really seen what Helpo had in mind.
What was it that allowed him to hurry with a sword wound that had not yet recovered? And what allowed him to use his hard-won demon body to resist meteorites to change orbit and bomb Hogwarts Castle?
And the more critical part is that Maca only realized at this moment that her idea of trying to use the meteorite to attack Helbo seemed to have been expected, and that guy was completely calculating!
Now, the magical barrier they had held up had been shattered by the shattered meteorite, and the shield that Hermione had worked so hard to build had been pierced through like a soap bubble.
There was a terrible rumbling sound behind her, the earth trembling, the magic roaring, and the surrounding area being lit up like daylight by a rain of fire, but Maca couldn't let herself look back even a glance.
Because Helbo, who had just fallen from mid-air, slowly stood up at the bottom of the pit that was now falling, and the invisible pressure seemed to make the air become viscous.
Of course, this feeling of oppression did not come from Helbo's power, but from his mutilated body and his increasingly pleasant eyes.
Imagine how terrifying and mysterious it would be when a person is missing an arm, half of his torso, or even half of his face, but instead shows a happy and unbridled smile?
At least Maca felt that if he had been replaced, it would probably be difficult to laugh again.
"Helmo, I have to say, you succeeded...... So, now can you elaborate on that? ”
Maca narrowed her eyes slightly, stared straight at the other party and said:
"You're even willing to trade your demonic body for the destruction of Hogwarts Castle by the power of a meteorite—what the hell is the reason for that?"
"'Reason'? Hum...... Hmph......haha"
Standing at the bottom of the pit that had been smashed out by himself, Helbo tilted his head, which had been worn off half of his jaw by the meteorite, and looked at Maca as if he were looking at a fool and snorted:
"For the death rule rune? No, that's not the case...... I did it for no reason, because I just knew I had to! Gotta do it! ”
He said as he opened his remaining left arm, as if enjoying something incomparably wonderful. This feeling may be called a "victory".
"No reason?"
Maca couldn't understand what Helmpo was saying.
Because in his thinking, everyone's actions must have their antecedents and consequences. If a person does not even have a reason for his actions, do not even the conditions that induce him to act do not exist?
However, seeing that his eyes were full of doubt, Helmo suddenly shook his head.
"Don't understand? Never mind...... You'll soon understand! It's a secret, but I'd love to share it with you......"
Helbo said slowly, looking at Maca, or more accurately, at the collapsing, burning Hogwarts Castle behind her.
Seeing that Maca didn't mean to ask again, he jumped out of the dirt pit lightly and walked forward step by step. Looking at him like that, it seemed that he wanted to pass directly by Maca's side, to the ruins of the castle that had been destroyed by meteorite fragments.
"Stop."
Just when Helpo was about to pass by Maca, he was suddenly stopped by the latter.
"Do you think I'll let you go so easily in this situation?"
Maca didn't look at him, but still looked straight ahead, and said with a blank face:
"That's right, you've ruined my plans perfectly—I'm not going to admit my defeat. However, the destroyed Hogwarts is still my former school, and I will never let you pass me in such a grand manner. ”
At this point, Maca paused slightly, and then added:
"What's more, in your current state, I don't think you can easily pass by me."
At this time, Helbo was undoubtedly seriously injured.
After the other party's demonic body was broken to such an extent, Maca immediately understood why the wound left by the Gryffindor sword in his chest and abdomen was his weakness, because his demonic body was clearly not complete.
In the huge wound that had been melted and worn away, in addition to the inky black outer layer, there was actually a human body wrapped inside. In the middle, dark red viscous blood was faintly visible.
And after seeing this scene, as long as you think carefully about how Helbo's demonic body came about, the answers to some questions will naturally come out.
"Helbo, do you know—"
As she spoke, Maca waved her hand, and a black beam of light burst out instantly. The attacked Helmo slammed his feet, retreating dozens of feet in the blink of an eye, back to the edge of the dirt pit he had just climbed out of.
And after forcing him back, Maca continued:
"You're like an egg with its shell smashed right now."
Of course, he wouldn't let Helbo go, but certainly not because Hogwarts was his school...... Well, at least definitely more than that.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is because Helmo has already revealed his purpose - even if Maca still doesn't know the reason for his destruction of the castle, he knows that there must be something Helpo wants.
So, if Maca knew this, how could she still let him go?
"Oh, of course, you're right!" Helmo nodded and said, "In my current state, it is indeed difficult to fight with you, after all, the task of this body has not been completed, and I don't want to be ruined by you here!" ”
Having said that, Helbo's gaze never left the direction of the castle, and in his black eyes, which reflected the light of fire, the color of greed was already like substance.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Maca only saw the figure of Helbo in her field of vision suddenly disappear, and the magic power fluctuated in an instant, and it was convenient for her to come from a certain direction behind her.
However, Maca's reaction was not slow at all, and her speed was not much slower than Helbo's spatial movement. In a flash, he appeared behind Helbo, who had just emerged from the ruins of the castle, and cast a black light again.
At this moment, the effects of Helbo's terrifying injuries were finally revealed.
The concussion of the soul suffered by the direct impact on the meteorite, combined with the shift of the center of gravity caused by the mutilated body, caused Helbo to dodge again half a beat late.
Suddenly, the black beam released by Maca accurately hit his wound and blasted him straight out of the school's range.
"I said it...... Don't go near here. ”
Maca said coldly as she stood on top of the half-collapsed wall of the auditorium.
