Chapter 1534 The Courage to Sacrifice Oneself
"Boom"
The elusive black claws slapped heavily on the magic barrier again, causing the entire barrier to shake. From the looks of it, just relying on this simple rune pattern, it is indeed impossible to withstand several attacks like the one just now.
At this moment, Hermione, the two injured patients, and the only remaining volunteer were hiding in this temporary protection, silently looking at everything outside the barrier that was shrouded in darkness.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work? Stopping here... Maybe it is indeed a wrong choice?"
After the Auror also died, Hermione once considered whether she really wanted to live alone. But after a period of difficult choices, she still couldn't bear the self-condemnation in her heart, and took a risk to try this possibility, which can almost be said to be "die or die together".
However, it turned out that the proposed protective array composed of only a few rune slabs was not only not stable enough, but also obviously insufficient in strength.
In the depths of this dangerous fog, it seems unwise to stick to it.
As the unknown "monsters" in the mist attacked again and again, the interval between attacks was obviously getting shorter... During the period of stopping to defend, I noticed that the number of enemies here naturally gradually increased.
"boom!"
Another claw strike ruthlessly passed over the magic barrier, causing several stone slabs placed on the ground to vibrate, making people even more frightened.
Even Hermione couldn't tell for sure that this temporary array would collapse and break after the first few attacks.
Compared to this, if he followed the Auror's suggestion to try to be invisible from the beginning, maybe at least one person could survive!
That's right, even if Hermione finds it hard to accept that "only she survived", that's much better than sacrificing all the people, isn't it?
It's a pity that it's impossible for her to change her mind now. For now, those guys hiding in the mist and making frequent raids must all be watching each of them closely. In this case, the Immortal Hidden Potion would definitely not be effective.
As for when the rescue from Helix Town will appear, it can only depend on luck.
"Hula"
Suddenly, the sound of something swiftly flying across the fog resounded again, and then another sharp black claw suddenly protruded out and slapped on the barrier with a "bang".
"Crack."
A certain cracking sound, which seemed very slight compared to the impact, passed by Hermione's ears, but it made her scalp tingle more than the enemy's attack.
While the barrier was shaking violently, she couldn't help but glanced down at the stone slab, and saw a few fine cracks winding dangerously beside the rune marks.
Honestly, it's almost the limit!
"Attention, the protective barrier shouldn't last a few more times... After a while, I said 'run', and we immediately ran forward each with a wounded person! Do you understand?"
Hermione's whispered reminder did not get an immediate response from another volunteer. She paused, then turned her head and touched the other person lightly.
"What, what?"
Seeing the other party's extremely stiff expression, Hermione couldn't help pursing her lips. She had previously experienced being unable to hear due to mental tension, so she could naturally understand the other party's current state.
It's just that if it goes on like this, if the other party escapes with a wounded person, maybe even she herself will lose her life immediately.
Just as Hermione was thinking this, suddenly, another sharp claw hit the barrier... With the tremors of several stone slabs again, the protection of the entire graphic array has become precarious.
"Brace yourself! It's not until the last moment,
Please don't give up! "
The moment Hermione said these words, the volunteer who was a little dazed saw Hermione pointing the wand in her hand to the ground, and then heard a violent "boom", and the explosion set off The dust completely drowned her remaining vision.
And it was during those few seconds when she couldn't see anything that the volunteer felt something grabbing her shoulder, which made her tremble all over.
"Don't be afraid! It's me... drink this, then don't care about anything, just run forward!"
This volunteer was the young witch who had talked a lot with Hermione before, and the two got along pretty well during this time. Perhaps it was because she had already regarded Hermione as a friend, so when the split-up incident happened, she made up her mind to stay with her, helping Hermione along the way.
But obviously, not only did she regard Hermione as a friend, but Hermione also regarded her as her best friend. Watching her friend die, no matter how many reasons there were, Hermione felt that she couldn't do it.
"call"
When she couldn't see her fingers, a familiar sound of wind passed by Hermione's ears.
"run!"
Under her push, the other party, who had just been given a bottle of potion, subconsciously ran according to her words, with a mouthful of strange smell and mud mixed in.
After running with his head buried for a while, the other party finally realized what happened just now, and his pace involuntarily slowed down.
However, Hermione in the distance seemed to know this, and shouted again at the top of her voice.
"Run! Don't stop! Keep going"
"hateful!"
Knowing that Hermione's determination would not be in vain, the other party finally gritted his teeth and accelerated his running speed again, and escaped from the place where monsters gathered invisibly under the effect of the Immortal Hidden Potion.
...
"It really is that kind of flying corpse!"
Accompanied by the crackling sound of the stone slabs, Hermione hurriedly threw herself on the ground beside her, and then immediately looked up.
Although it was only for a moment, she could still recognize the shape of the black shadow that flew past her.
What she saw at Lupin's side, Charlie drew the shape of a part of the alienated living corpse, and the flying species that Charlie once fought on the fire dragon Nobeta was exactly that!
However, just knowing what the enemy is does not bring Hermione much peace of mind.
Needless to say, although Hermione has given the only bottle of Immortal Hermit Potion to someone else, it doesn't mean that she plans to wait here to die.
Just like what she said just now, you must never give up until the last moment.
"Call God to protect you!"
Her Patronus Charm was nowhere near as powerful as Neville's, and of course, it was a lot worse than Harry, who had practiced desperately. However, if it is only used to divert the attention of some enemies, it is more than enough.
In the next second, amidst the swaying light and mist, a swiftly moving silver-white rabbit leaped out of it, circled around it, and immediately rushed out into the distance.
At the same time, Hermione immediately and decisively ran in the opposite direction.
