Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 434 Thunder at Sea
() Joshua can vaguely feel that the obscure energy still exists in his body.But what he didn't know was that the reason why he was able to manipulate that power freely in the past was entirely because of the curse attached to the Death Sage brand.
Right now, although his brand mark had been erased by Maca's analysis, even the strange energy was suppressed by Maca's hand.But if he wants to proactively trigger it, the sudden runaway is basically a certainty.
"Boom!"
He only heard two muffled sounds that were fleeting, and the black mist in the whole room immediately shrank, bounced away the two former companions who had rushed towards him.
Just like the biological self-protection mechanism, the behavior under the normal state will always control the upper limit of the strength that can be exerted to an insurance value.But when the will to control the body is replaced by something else, this mechanism will be useless.
The silent person who is almost out of control is obviously more terrifying than the silent person acting under self-control.
"Bang Bang--" Two groups of black mist rushed towards him again, but they were blocked again.
Joshua's consciousness was severely disturbed, and he didn't even know where he was.At this moment, he only remembered one thing--
"That person... I want to find that person... Mike... Lane..."
"boom!"
As the side wall was suddenly broken by him, and the bricks were scattered in all directions, Joshua broke through the wall only by instinct and impulse, and even the magic loaded on the wall was destroyed.
"Is there any consciousness left?" The old wizard standing at the door narrowed his eyes and said with a trace of greed, "Is there any self-consciousness? If so, isn't it..."
As Joshua flew straight into the night sky outside, the old wizard waved his hand fiercely, causing the two silent men to chase after him.
At almost the same time, the other silent people hiding in the manor here hit their chests and received the order to leave immediately.
"Little girl, just stay here honestly for me! Humph!" The old man snorted and pointed his wand directly at Zoe, trapping him firmly in place.
...
On the other side, Maca had just sent Sirius and others back to Hogwarts, and reappeared on the Hudson River.The first thing he did when he returned to New York was to summon all the alienated eight-eyed giant spiders arranged here.
For this attack, his little darlings did a good job-at least their efforts ensured that Sirius and the pair of sisters could safely transfer.
It's just that there are too many enemies after all, even if Maca left all the eight-eyed giant spiders in the United States, he could not successfully defend the riverside cottage.
He hurriedly checked and found that most of the little guys were still healthy.It can be seen that although they failed to complete the task perfectly, it is not so easy for the silent person to hurt them.
"...Why, what happened to me in the short time I left?"
Under Maca’s questioning, a few of the eight-eyed giant spiders told him one thing-not long ago, a large group of black things flicked in the distant air. A blind wizard is impossible to miss.
"It seems that the Magic Congress of the United States is busy again..."
Maca shook his head slightly, then stepped onto the magic book and flew in the direction the eight-eyed giant spider said.
...
The manor where Joshua and Zoe were imprisoned is located near the River Edge district in northern New York, less than twenty miles from Long Island Sound.
Under the leadership of Joshua, whose consciousness was almost chaotic, a group of silent people followed him and flew around the land for a short time, and then plunged into the salty sea breeze.
In the midair without obstacles, Joshua's speed was always faster than the rest of the silent ones.However, his flight path was quite chaotic. As he rushed from left to right, his pursuers were hung up a short distance behind him.
However, they are probably limited to not being thrown too far away. Even if the pursuers still have the intention to surround Joshua, they obviously have more than enough energy.
Thus, on this strait, a chasing battle that seemed invisible to the end kicked off.
Dozens of black mists dragged their long tails and flew up and down, sometimes flying across the sea, causing water marks, and sometimes suddenly angled and pierced straight into the sky.
The cold squally wind on the sea kept roaring, mixed with the sound of waves hitting the surface of the sea.I don’t know when the clouds in the sky gradually thickened.
There was a faint light of thunder in the clouds, as if to beat the drums for the sound of the waves, dull but clear.
This kind of sudden change makes it hard to imagine that it is a naturally formed rain cloud, as if...something is manipulating, making the atmosphere of this sea area tense.
At this moment, a low whistle suddenly sounded from the far North Atlantic, even though the sea wind roared, it still failed to completely blow it away.
Not long after, a black spot suddenly appeared on the sea level in the east, approaching at an astonishing speed in the direction of the silent ones.
The whistling sound gradually became high-pitched, and the thunder climbing in the cloud like a snake turned into lightning that pierced the sky.After a dazzling light that hit the sea surface flashed by, the blast of thunder resounding through the sea awakened the downpour.
It is approaching, fast approaching!
The huge gray-yellow body resembling an eagle is no less inferior to the fire dragon, and the speed of flight is much faster than the latter.One big, two small and three pairs of wings flapped lightly, crossing a long stretch of sea without any effort.
Behind him, the three-leaf tail feathers dragged straight in the air, steadily controlling the flight for it.
The closer you get, the more you can discover the horror of its speed; and the closer you observe, the more you can understand its natural ability.
For a while, lightning flashes and thunder, heavy rain, storms swept the sea and set off huge waves.
The group of silent people who were chasing Joshua slowed down, and they still kept their consciousness vaguely understood that this frightening divine bird was probably attracted by their sea chase.
However, they may stop, but where does Joshua want to get this?
I saw that black mist continued to advance in the pouring rain, and the majestic rain curtain that hits open faintly formed a hazy water curtain in front of him, mixed in the rain, making people look unreal.
Most of those who were silent were thinking that Joshua would probably die in the hands of the bird.
Although they didn't recognize what the sacred bird was, the bird could call the wind and rain and even cause thunder and lightning. This is something that can be understood without even thinking about it.
And these silent people are not brave people, although they have to obey the master's order, but the terrible master is not here right now.
So in a blink of an eye, they thought of running away.
However, they did not expect that the sacred bird did not care too much about Joshua who was running rampant alone, but instead focused on their more conspicuous group of targets.
"Click--Boom--"
Another flash of lightning fell fiercely at a speed that was unpredictable. Above the empty sea, all the silent ones who were incarnate in the black mist became living targets.
At this moment, Maca, who had been searching all the way, finally arrived at this chaotic scene.
"...Thunderbird?"
He stopped in mid-air, and the rain curtain slipped quietly beside him, and even the corners of his robe were not wet.
"This rare magical creature hasn't been completely extinct?"
Regarding this extremely rare magical creature, it has been recorded in various documents in the magic world.The most recent one should be "Monsters and Their Origins" by Newt Scamander.
And this is also one of Hogwarts's teaching materials for protecting magical creatures.
But even Mr. Scamander, who had personally seen this creature, could not describe it in detail.
It is said that he had rescued a thunderbird from the hands of a businessman while traveling in Egypt.But while he tried to send it back to his hometown, he was unable to complete it completely due to unknown obstacles.
Maca stood in the air, looking at the sea in the distance, carefully looking at the thunderbird.But it didn't take long before he turned his gaze to the silent people who evacuated in a panic.
"Crack—"
Another powerful thunder and lightning hit a certain group of black mist with a dazzling light.The strong electricity wiped out most of the black fog, and then plunged straight into the huge waves.
Just as Maca was about to continue watching, he suddenly found another group of black mist flying up and down.Look at the flying method like a fly without a head, with an obvious strangeness.
"What's the matter then?" Maca stared at the black mist with imaginary eyes, and said inexplicably, "Insane?"
He thought so, but he couldn't just sit idly by.
Judging from the situation seen by the eight-eyed giant spider, the group of silent people obviously flew over after another silent one.With that said, it really might be Joshua.
After all, all came, and even if it wasn't, he would have to confirm it.
No longer thinking about it, Maca took advantage of the trend and flew quickly towards the black mist that was rushing everywhere under the phantom spell.High in the sky, the Thunderbird flapped its wings, and effortlessly chased the group of silent people away.
Its departure caused the wind, rain and thunder and lightning here to slow down slightly, but it saved Maca a lot of effort.
"Joshua?" With the help of the sound reinforcement spell, he called out through the tight rain curtain.
Originally, Maca didn't have much hope for this roar, even if it was Joshua, it was probably impossible to pay attention to him just by looking at the other party's scurrying appearance.
However, he never thought that his loud shout made the black mist stop immediately.
"...Mike...Lane..."
The black mist suddenly expanded, and then suddenly contracted, transforming into a human form again.After he murmured softly, he seemed to have lost his strength, swaying down in the wind and rain, and falling into the sea.
