Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

The door of the infirmary was violently pushed open by someone, and it slammed on the wall behind and made a loud noise. The people in the room were taken aback. They hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, but saw that the person who shouldn’t be there was full. Anxious face.

Barbara looked around, and soon noticed Hermione who was sitting in the corner."Barbara, this is the infirmary!" Madam Pomfrey said dissatisfiedly. "There are still patients on the bed. Remember to keep quiet."

"Sorry, Madam Pomfrey." Barbara lowered her head. "Someone told me that Siegel was sent here and I was here to deal with her problem."

"Professor!" Hermione's face was pale, but Barbara's words seemed to make her grab the straw of hope and exclaimed expectantly, "Zoe is here!"

Barbara walked to the bed next to the wall and moved her gaze to the unconscious girl on the bed. Her body was unscathed, no bleeding or scars, but her brows were frowned, showing a painful look.

"How long has it been?" Barbara asked.

"It's almost eight hours." Mrs. Pomfrey answered the question for Hermione. Hermione had been utterly unconscious for the past few hours. She stayed in front of Zoe's bed and did not leave, hoping that she would be able to separate her attention. Paying attention to time is unrealistic.

"Do you know what happened to her!" Hermione looked at Barbara expectantly. "Does it have anything to do with that incident a few years ago?"

"Yeah." Barbara nodded, but didn't say much. "Mrs. Pomfrey, I want to check Siegel's situation." After obtaining permission, she drew out her wand.

Hermione stared at her every movement intently, flowing runes around her.Hermione looked at Zoe's closed eyes from time to time, expecting that Zoe would wake up immediately in the next second.

"Professor..." Barbara's face was not good-looking, Hermione's mood rose and fell like a roller coaster with every subtle movement of Barbara, her heart frightened.

"It's okay now." Barbara sighed in relief and put away her wand.

"Now!" Hermione naturally heard the hidden content of this sentence, "Please tell me what is going on!"

"This is the curse that accompanies her." Barbara said, "She can only resist desperately, as long as she doesn't want to die."

Death, the weight of the word weighed on Hermione's heart, and she remembered what Harry had told Ron and himself that he and Voldemort couldn't all live, one would end the other.

"She won't die..." Hermione suppressed the fear in her heart, her tone trembling.

"As long as she can win," Barbara said seriously, "she won't die."

"Why can't I do anything?" Hermione asked painfully. "Even if I can't, you can definitely help her!"

"No one can help her." Barbara broke her hope with an indifferent tone that even herself hates. "This is Siegel's own business. Neither you nor I can help her, but she can only rely on herself."

"It's time for you to have some dinner, child. Eating or drinking will only make those who care about you worry more." Madam Pomfrey also persuaded, Hermione's face became paler, and Madam Pomfrey looked angrily. She glanced at Barbara, as if she was accusing her of what she had just said, "You will faint if this goes on. I can't let you stay here anymore."

"...I beg you to give me another hour, and I'll go back in another hour." Hermione pleaded. "Zoe might open his eyes soon. I want to stay here. I'm worried that something will happen to her... "

"Half an hour, Miss Granger," Madam Pomfrey said hesitantly, "I will drive you out after time."

***************

Zoe's smashing curse hit the giant's arm, and the flesh and blood of the earth and rock broke and decomposed, but she couldn't relax, and the trouble was far from over.The one-armed stone giant staggered, and the next moment, the rune engraved on it dragged the soil on the ground, filling the section again, and within two minutes, the same stout arm appeared again.

Obviously it was just a cold puppet, but the giant roared with hatred, as if the real giant was wearing a hard shell.It moves fast and fiercely, and it may be smashed into meatloaf if you don't pay attention.

The stone giant charged forward, and within a few steps, the falling thunder descended from the sky as if guided, as if being hit by a javelin thrown with all its strength.

Electricity wrapped around the giant's body, restraining it from moving for a while.Continued conflict and erosion cut the ground to pieces, and there were bumpy plots everywhere. Zoe jumped onto a steep slope that was almost vertical. It was originally flat and squeezed by the surrounding land.

Perhaps because of being out of the body, the use of the spell is very smooth and the effect is excellent.The levitating spell made the body almost lose its weight. With another kick under her feet, the sharply changing vision makes people uncomfortable. Zoe is not Margaret. She likes the ground far better than the sky. Enduring the unpleasant feeling, she stares at the giant. The red mark on the back of the neck spreads outward from the center, like a biological blood vessel. The blood drop in the center is the heart, and the totem is usually attached to the back of the giant's neck.

As long as there is a smashing curse, this infinitely resurrected puppet will "die"."Armor protection!" There was a rush of fear in my heart, and it was too late to think, even if he was protected by the spell, Zoe was still knocked out by this force.The floating spell makes her body lighter, which is not only good.

The giant broke through the cage of thunder and lightning, roaring and chasing in the direction where Zoe fell.Max has added the runes of "brute force", "regeneration" and "rage" to its body, but what really drives this chariot makes it not just an unintentional puppet, but a totem on the back of the neck. .

A whirlwind blew from Zoe's wand, deviating from the original fall point, carefully adjusting himself not to be injured by the branches and leaves extending from the canopy.Space gradually collapsed. The ground was a sea of ​​flames that burned everything and a scorched and broken earth. Dark clouds in the sky seemed to swallow everything, and thunder snakes surged among the clouds.In this apocalyptic scenery, the big tree still stands tall.

The giant slowly raised his head and looked at the top of the tree with hollow eyes.It lowered its body and made a starting posture, as if huge invisible energy was accumulating in the loop.The moment it kicked its legs, the ground aroused bursts of noise, and it leapt more than ten feet in just one step. The flames were trampled under its feet, and the gust of wind extinguished the embers.

"Boom!" The chariot slammed into the obstacle without fear, the trunk of the tree groaned badly, and the leaves fell from high in the air like raindrops. Zoe couldn't stand firmly, and one stepped on the air and fell straight down. Fortunately, her hands Grabbing the branch on the other side, just hanging in the air.

"I don't like to use corpses." Even at that distance, Max's voice is still clearly audible. "The corpse army can indeed meet certain expectations. It will not be painful, fearless, loyal, and large in number. ...But none of this can hide its fragility."

"Light and fire, the advantages of the corpse are as obvious as its shortcomings. It is very effective against the mediocre, but for those experienced wizards, the corpse is not really threatening." Max is interesting. Explains, "Tom's rule is based on fear and violence, so he needs a corpse, just like he needs a werewolf and a giant."

The stone giant retreated slowly, Zoe finally climbed back to the firm branches, and if he didn't stop the monster from charging, the danger just now would only appear again and again."The more I kill them, the more I understand. Even a real giant, as long as it is a living creature, it has weaknesses, injuries, pains, fears, and escapes. This is the limit of living things."

"Similarly, even the strongest and most powerful weapon in the world is just a dead thing. It needs to be manipulated in order to exert its ability. Once this happens, its power will be limited by the user's understanding and strength."

After the third impact, the tree trunk was crumbling, and Zoe had to cling to the thick branches on the side so as not to be shaken down.A part of the rhizome stuck in the ground has been exposed, and the trunk is tilted and may collapse at any time.

"Zoe, if there is a puppet here, what do you think I should do if I want to play its fullest strength?" Max said, "The consciousness that resides in this stone giant is the giant Gugogracha. It was at that time The strongest warrior in my group is the best choice in my current collection."

After a long time failing to break the big tree, under the force of the rune, Gracha was furious.It stepped forward furiously, wrapped its hands around the tree trunk, and the runes engraved on it lit up one by one, making it look more shocking.Mud constantly splashed out of the pit, and the roots crunched and made ominous noises.Zoe tried to keep the roots of the tree growing and strengthening the ground. At the same time, sharp thorns grew on the branches of the tree, which leaped towards the giant's limbs like creatures, circling around the joints of various parts of it, trying to block Graza.

But it didn't play a big role.The collapsed body will soon be reunited under the power of the rune. The giant roared and tore the entangled branches to pieces. Under Max's manipulation, its right arm was partially modified to form an axe, and the axe blade flashed. Sen Leng Guang slashed down and cut off most of the rhizome.

It's too late to escape now.The tree could no longer withstand more damage. The sound when it broke was like a wailing dying, and where it fell, the flames were burning.

With a loud bang, the fire licked the trunk, and after a while it disappeared completely in the sea of ​​fire, leaving only a faint shadow and burning sound.

"It's dead." The giant who lost his goal stopped acting. Max looked at the increasingly terrifying fire, and he didn't know whether he was sighing or laughing.

A spell was shot against the dead corner of the giant, accurately hitting the blood drop in the center of the totem.Like the soft sound of glass breaking, the giant's body shook, and it remained as it was and turned into dust.

Max shot a spell in that direction almost the instant the giant was hit, but it hit nothing.Something is approaching from a distance, not the sound of human footsteps, but the sound of horseshoes.

On the small hill where a big tree once stood, but now a deep hole remains, the horseman is digging his hoofs, his body exudes a dazzling light, a quiver is slung, and a bow is in his hand.

Zoe, who was slightly embarrassed, hugged the horseman's waist tightly, clinging to it.

Chapter 45 Coma (5)

"Clear water..." The heat of the flames rushed toward her body, and before he could think about it, Zoe clenched her wand tightly. Just halfway through the spell, she could no longer grasp the falling branches and planted directly on the fire below.The restlessness during weightlessness hit his heart, his clothes were scratched in countless places, and his arms bleed.

Too late to put out the fire.She immediately changed her tactics, and the Frozen Fire Curse was the best choice, which would prevent her from being burned by the heat.But the fall and other injuries are out of control, and she can no longer maintain the Levitating Charm.

Subconsciously closing his eyes, the ears that catch the sound are more sensitive in the dark, like a horse's hoof stepping on the ground, and the clear and joyful foot sounds are full of vitality, as if ringing in Zoe's brain.Opening a gap in his eyes, Guang leaped up in the air, using the steep section as a reference point, rushing in his direction.

She subconsciously grasped the hand that stretched towards her, and the irresistible force threw Zoe behind, and exclaimed in pain, Zoe found herself lying on the back of this thing.Her face was reddened by the flames, and she was holding everything she could hold under her body so as not to be thrown off.

The horseman made another leap after stepping on the second broken trunk. Even though the horseman race is good at running in the woods, its posture is extremely simple and neat. If it takes a wrong step, it will fall into the hell below. A second chance, but it can even leave Death behind.

"Li, Lisa?" Without confirmation, Zoe knew that his guess was correct.She had never had a chance to sit on the part of Lisa's horse in the past, because it was insulting to the horseman.It is precisely because of their equal status and friends that they are even less likely to make such excessive demands.

"Although I don't mind very much, I think humans run too slowly. But my brother always likes to tell me about the self-esteem of horsemen." When Zoe stroked Lisa's horse, Lisa always complained, "My brother has a temper. No, I have always wanted to follow me to find you recently. I'm afraid you will get hurt."

They left the sea of ​​fire behind them and stepped onto another scorched ground."Thank you, I'm going back." Zoe tried to get off Lisa's back first, but was caught.The horseman shook his head at her silently.

"I can do it alone, it's my own business." Zoe frowned, unable to pull his hand away.

Other lights also gathered from the surroundings and surrounded her. These weird things are not even life, at most they are a ray of memory, and they don’t even have their own consciousness. The so-called communication now is entirely Zoe. With her one-man show, if she really denies them, as Max did, they shouldn't exist.

They seem to tell her that we are your strength too.
