Chapter 2006 Red and Black
Along the way until now, Hermione has always been escorted in the middle of the team. As a matter of fact, the actual situation is exactly as she said before—with the overall strength of the current team, it doesn't seem like a big deal to be missing her alone.
In this regard, Hermione was naturally still calm on the surface, but she was a little disappointed in her heart after all.
To this day, she has put in no less effort than anyone else, but in the final analysis, she still seems to be a dispensable existence.
Of course, others would definitely not say such things, and they might not even think so. But in her own mind, it eventually became a hurdle she couldn't get past.
As a person who is born to be strong and not to admit defeat, Hermione felt that she might have to struggle with this issue for the rest of her life.
But fortunately, the significance of this trip is so heavy that she no longer has the mind to care about her "little things" all the time. To commemorate Percy's sacrifice is the most fundamental and most important goal of this trip.
"Don't worry, I'm fine with a broomstick myself."
Noticing that Ginny on the side turned her head to look at herself from time to time, Hermione couldn't help but say so. But at the same time, she couldn't help being a little annoyed—she was so useless at this time, and she had to let Ginny, who was already grieving over Percy's death, worry about herself.
"Well," Ginny nodded immediately after hearing this, "Then you be careful...don't worry, Harry and the others will clean up all the living corpses."
"Oh! Of course, I'm very relieved of them."
After saying this again, Hermione turned her head again and looked at the battlefield ahead.
It can be seen that now is the time when the battle is fierce.
Amidst the dust, Mr. Bulova's giant fire snake rampaged through the ruins of the residential street, leaving scorched black marks on the ground;
On the other side, Safina and a dozen of her subordinates controlled a large amount of black flames, like tsunamis one after another, continuously engulfing the living corpses on the street.
And right beside Safina, Harry was waiting for an opportunity with his shining sword upside down. When the first wave of attacks of the two came to an end, he would immediately rush forward to harvest the fish that slipped through the net and some of the living corpses with higher evolution levels one by one.
Just these three people are enough to match the entire army of wizards stationed in Weymouth... No, they will even be stronger!
no doubt,
This is a "qualitative" gap - if the power you have can't hurt the enemy, then even if there are many people, you can only resist in vain. After all, no matter how many wizards there are, there are certainly not as many living corpses.
Looking at this scene, Hermione could only hold the wand tighter... tighter.
"Hermione."
Suddenly, a palm gently grabbed her fist that was clenched tightly on the handle of the stick, and then a gentle voice suddenly sounded beside her and penetrated into her ears.
"Delphi mentioned the seven deadly sins before, which I found very interesting-excessive desire is greed, excessive self-ashamedness is arrogance. No matter what, if you are too persistent and exceed a certain limit, a good thing will become a bad thing. And bad things always have no good results... What do you think?"
"Luna?" Hermione turned her head slightly after hearing that, looked at her and said, "Well... yes! That's true... But where is the 'limit' exactly?"
"That's up to you!" Luna shrugged and said leisurely, "Everyone's limit is different, but as long as you look back and think about it... when you feel that it's too much Time, it must be really too much."
To be honest, although whenever this happens, Luna's tone of voice is always a little erratic, as if she has returned to her original self. But compared to before, at least now, what she wants to express is much more straightforward.
only--
"Your words are still so inexplicably convincing."
Hermione shook her head, and couldn't help smiling slightly—as expected of Luna who chose the empathy rule, what she was thinking seemed to have been seen through by the other party.
But Luna listened, but just blinked and said:
"It's not that my words are convincing, but I know that you are actually thinking the same truth in your heart. It's just that the reality in front of you makes you hesitate, so you become difficult to make a choice."
Having said that, she spread her hands and said:
"So, all I did was to help you calm down."
"Ok!"
Hermione smiled at her, and felt that her heart was indeed much calmer, and she was no longer as irritable as before.
And at this moment, she suddenly turned her head and glanced forward, and then frowned with some doubts.
"What was Harry saying to her?"
The "she" in Hermione's mouth naturally refers to Safina.
When Hermione said that, Harry who was at the front line suddenly turned his head back and glanced towards them. Probably because Harry was looking at Ginny and Ron, he didn't notice that Hermione and Luna happened to be watching him at the moment.
But soon, Harry looked away again, and then slammed on the road with the Gryffindor sword in hand, and rushed straight to the battlefield ahead. Safina's black flame immediately made way for him, allowing him to quickly pass through the crowd of living corpses, rushing towards the single individuals on the side.
Not long after, Harry, who had circled all the way to the enemy's rear, yelled loudly. Bulova's Fire Snake turned into a large piece of flame again and spewed up, turning into a mighty flame dragon, and began to wipe out the remaining power of the enemy with Safina on the left and right.
Obviously, Devon County's location is a bit off, and the harm of living corpses is far less serious than that of Winchester. The two cooperate to deal with the living corpses, which is more than enough for now.
In this way, about half an hour passed, three waves of large living corpses were all wiped out by the red and black flames domineeringly, but their team did not receive any damage.
So far, although I have witnessed a large area of desolation on the road, I can't help but make my heart feel more and more heavy. But if I have to say it, everything is actually going well.
In the end, Harry, who had just returned from the scorched streets ahead, looked to the rear, and after exchanging glances with Hermione, he suddenly waved his hand.
"Keep going!"
Although a fierce battle ended in their complete victory, the noise of the battle caused the sporadic living corpses in the surrounding area to continue to approach this side—this place is obviously not a suitable place to rest.
"Hermione, Delphine... are you all right?"
Neville, who was supporting him in the middle, sat straddling the back of his lion patron saint, turned around and asked a question, and Hermione and Delphine shook their heads without hesitation.
"No problem, let's go!" Hermione said firmly immediately.
