Chapter 2497 the So-Called Truth

"Tap, tap, tap... bang!"

Demon Gluttony's twisted and deformed head jumped, rolled, and rolled down the steps, until it was slammed down by a big foot on the way, avoiding the stupid fate of becoming a bowling ball just like that.

Harry's sword was just right, cutting off Gluttony's head with great precision.

However, at this moment, the head that was stepped on by Maca on the stairs without looking back, suddenly opened the eyes that it should no longer be able to open. A fierce light came out from the depths of those dark demon eyes.

"Ah...McLean, you broke your promise."

Gluttony's mouth didn't move, but the deep and heavy voice still came from its head, echoing faintly in the huge main hall. The power of soul magic is contained in that voice, which is still clearly distinguishable among the noisy explosions of the wizards when they cast many spells.

Everyone heard this voice not long ago, it was Hai Erbo talking!

"Harry? You...you just found out?"

Hermione, who had just caught up with Harry, took advantage of this opportunity, and finally took this wayward friend around Maca in the middle, and brought him back to Lupin and other wizards.

It's just that Hai Erbo's will appeared again and spoke, which naturally surprised Hermione very much. She was surprised by the change in the scene before her eyes, but also surprised that it was Harry who opened the curtain with his own hands—he seemed to have noticed something in advance that no one else had noticed!

But soon, Hermione found that Harry seemed to be more confused than herself. Hearing this, Harry turned his head to look at her, then shook his head lightly and said:

"What did you find? Oh no, I just... I just think that he must be right about one thing, that is, all demons must be wiped out. Such a powerful, evil and chaotic magical creature, if one of them is alive, will be destroyed." It will be a disaster for all mankind!"

"Uh."

Hearing what Harry said, not only Hermione, but even Lupine who was not far away couldn't help being taken aback.

Yes, as far as everyone knows about those demons, Harry's point of view is certainly not wrong.

It's just that here today, Maca, who finally took the initiative to reveal his identity, was suspicious everywhere, and repeatedly emphasized in words and actions that they should continue to kill demons, and he didn't even know whether he personally beat Harry on purpose or not. One sword, which made everyone start to have doubts about killing demons.

But now,

The truth revealed by Harry's impulsiveness and honesty made everyone else understand in an instant-the suspicious behavior displayed by the other party itself may be a scam instead, and they took advantage of their doubts from the very beginning. psychology!

And when everyone was trying their best to maintain the firepower pouring the spell on Maca, while secretly considering the changes in the situation at the moment, the conversation on the stairs continued.

Maca, who had easily broken free from the ice with one foot and firmly stepped on the demon's head, shook his head, but still said very calmly:

"Your English is not good enough, Hai Erbo, this is not called breaking your promise - you should say, 'McLean, your plot did not succeed'."

"I don't care what your plan is! All I know is that you... promised me in front of the teacher, you won't... move... against me..."

Haierbo couldn't finish his sentence, Gryffindor sword cut off Gluttony's head, and it has cut off the possibility of it continuing to maintain the soul connection for Haierbo as a Horcrux. Soon, everyone saw a blurry gray shadow flying out from the mouth, nose, and eyes of the devil's head, and suddenly rushed out in a certain direction.

Hermione's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, she turned her head and shouted quickly:

"Safina, do me a favor!"

The next moment, a black sea of ​​flames suddenly appeared in front of the fast-flying gray shadow, surging violently to completely submerge it before it got into the wall of the hall.

After doing all this, Safina blinked her eyes, and Maca, who was still motionless on the steps, bearing the baptism of the spell, glanced back and forth with Hermione, Harry and the others.

Until just now, apart from Snape who left early, she and Sarah were the only ones who hadn't made a move at all. And to be honest, based on the position she has been in all this time, she is actually not going to help anyone today... No, even compared to Hermione's friendship, Safina is more inclined to have feelings for herself and her sister. Maka, who is really kind.

Before today, helping Hermione is basically equivalent to helping Maca. In order to fulfill her promise, Safina doesn't mind acting together with Hermione and others who have the same purpose. But now, after Maca finally showed up on his own initiative, the originally clearly visible path suddenly became chaotic and distorted.

Before fully understanding the situation in front of her, Safina didn't want to get involved in it lightly.

However, she didn't know if she had gotten used to the feeling of being with Hermione and others recently. When she heard the other party speak just now, although Safina hesitated for a moment, she still subconsciously helped the other party. And she also understands that her soul flame is naturally the most effective in dealing with souls, and others may not be able to prevent the gray shadow that seems to be a remnant soul from leaving. Hermione had asked for her help just at that moment when she thought of it.

And to be honest, it would be better to burn it as much as possible, rather than just letting the remnant soul go away.

"Uh-"

Hearing the indistinct roar coming from the heavy black flames gradually fade away, Hermione nodded to Safina to express her gratitude, but the latter curled her lips lightly without any expression.

And at this moment, everyone heard Lupine whisper:

"We should go."

"Let's go?" Harry heard the words, and unconsciously looked at Maca's figure who was still standing there, "But, Lupine, and..."

"Of course I know," Lupine nodded. "Before that, we must find a way to get Miss Lovegood back."

That's right, although Hermione took Harry back here just now, but because Luna was too close to Maca, no one had a good way to bring her back. At this moment, this suddenly became the biggest problem that stumbled everyone's footsteps.

However, Luna, who was still standing not far from Maca, obviously had no sense of being a "hostage" at all. She just looked at Maca who was resisting many spells with her body, but didn't take any more actions. Although she couldn't get close, she was still worried about him.

"Maka, you look like you're turning into a popsicle."
