"This demon has the same ability as Allen and the rest. It can sense what kind of magic people are using in advance!" Hermione gave up the idea of telling Allen through the sensory imprint. Bair was the big demon that Lucius had informed Allen about. He must be here for Allen. "Ever since she learned about this, Luna has been making sure that at least one of her clones is with Allen. Even if the demon finds out that Allen isn't here, it won't be a problem to find them in Diagon Alley."
Hermione frowned as she glanced at Bair, whose silhouette looked like a giant human, but also like a moving shadow. The core of his body was a raging flame. She grabbed Jenny's hand and fled with the screaming crowd. "Let's rush out of Hogsmeade first. Then I'll take you with Phantom Transference and tell Allen and the rest to come over."
Jenny clenched her wand tightly. She nodded obediently with a pale face. She had seen what happened to the few Aura who tried to use Phantom Transference in front of the demon. It was obviously impossible for them to escape in front of the demon.
Hermione called out to her female companion. She knew that she was no match for Bair when she saw how easily the demon began to use the Internal Explosion spell. The two little witches quickly shuttled through the crowd, trying their best to escape in the opposite direction of the demon.
"Stop!"
As Bair casually uttered a single syllable, they were suddenly enveloped by a great sense of fear. They stood rooted to the ground, unable to move. Not only Hermione and Jenny, but all the wizards on the street were also enveloped by Bair's' Command: Shock '. They couldn't move their feet. All the things they bought and the wands they took out to defend themselves all fell to the ground.
How did that demon suddenly appear in front of us? Hermione's eyes widened, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. The difference between her and the demon was far beyond her imagination. Under his' Shock ', she couldn't even move, let alone run out of Hogsmeade to inform Allen.
"When Alan Harris's beloved wails and falls to the ground, and let her blood stain the earth, then I will complete the contract." Bair's burning yellow eyes stared at Hermione. The goat-like horns on his head swayed gently. Black venom dripped onto the ground under his feet and hissed. The plants that came into contact with the venom instantly withered and turned into ashes when the wind blew.
"So the demon's target is me?!" Upon hearing Bair's words, Hermione was stunned.
Bair looked at Hermione with his ancient and elegant voice. He winked at her and said loudly from afar, "If the target of my deal runs away, I won't be able to explain myself. You have to know that the pure-blooded families from England have provided me with tributes that I can't refuse. So I can only apologize to Mr. Allen Harris."
Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. In addition to being surprised, Hermione felt very unreconciled. She seemed to have foreseen her next situation. Her brain spun quickly, desperately thinking of a way to escape. But in the situation where she couldn't even move, Miss Know-It-All was at a loss. She, who was usually able to think of a solution in a crisis, had no idea how to escape from such a crisis.
Hermione's mind was filled with thoughts. The demon directly said that the tributes provided by the pure-blooded families in England was seriously misleading. Although it couldn't be wrong, this demon didn't mention that the pure-blooded families were Death Eaters under the mysterious person. Was he trying to aggravate the conflict between Harris and the pure-blooded families? So the one he wanted to kill was her? Hermione even thought that Lucius Malfoy had betrayed her. Otherwise, how could the information he sent be so different from the real situation? Her amber eyes were wide open, and there were faint traces of blood in them. Cold sweat rolled down her forehead drop by drop.
"Avatar Death Reaper!" A green light flew straight towards Bair. Allen's armed Aura guards, Pu Pai and Pluto, rushed towards Hermione with a determined look on their faces while holding their wands.
The Death Reaper that Pluto had just shot out went through the black fog and hit the demon's red skin. But this spell only made the demon turn around in the flames and shadows. The green light that hit him was like a clay ox entering the sea. It didn't even cause a ripple.
Pu Pai's heart sank. His gaze swept across the wizards who had lost their ability to move due to the demon's intimidation. He knew that he was definitely no match for the demon in front of him.
"We are Aura. We can't back down. What's more, that's Miss Granger." Pu Pai clenched his wand and stared at Bair as he spoke to Pluto who was beside him. Pluto didn't reply. His ugly face was somewhat ferocious, but his gaze was firm.
Originally, because Allen was participating in the temple's activity as a voter, it was inconvenient for him to bring his guards with him. They didn't want to appear too high-profile. Therefore, they habitually came to Hogsmeade's Three Brooms Tavern to relax. They rushed out when they noticed the strange movement outside. When they heard Bair's words, they knew that his target was Hermione Granger. Knowing the importance of Hermione to the Umbrella Corporation and to Allen, they disregarded their own safety and rushed forward to protect Hermione.
Bair's strength made Pu Pai and Pluto helpless. In the face of such a terrifying enemy, Pu Pai and Pluto looked at each other and made the final decision.
After witnessing Bair's strength, Pu Pai was in complete despair. He no longer had any expectations that his magic would be able to destroy this enemy in front of him. He also no longer had any extravagant hope that he could survive. However, he was still hopeful. He prayed that he could delay Bair for a while so that Pluto could rescue Miss Granger. Even if it was only to give Miss Hermione Granger a moment of respite, then his sacrifice would not be in vain.
"Damn, I can't let my appearance put more pressure on those wizards." Pluto smiled at Pu Pai. During the World Cup, Albert joked about his appearance and didn't allow him to stay and heal the injured wizards. Now, he was joking about this sentence. He had already made up his mind to die and didn't even intend to attack.
"No, Olivo is still waiting at home …"
Without waiting for Pu Pai to continue, Pluto cast a protective armor on himself and let it continue to block in front of him.
Time was tight and urgent. Pu Pai didn't argue with Pluto about who should delay the demon. Both of them quickly pulled the pull rings of the smoke bombs on their H94 uniforms and threw them out one by one. In the midst of the smoke, Pu Pai's handsome face became serious and gloomy. His eyebrows were tightly knitted and he quickly rushed towards Hermione.
However, Hermione was in a state of "Shock". Pu Pai tried several spells but couldn't get rid of her. In a moment of desperation, Pu Pai could only carry Hermione and Jenny, who was beside her, by their waists.
At this moment, Pluto's screams made him turn around uncontrollably. He saw Pluto … several parts of Pluto were thrown to the ground in an arc, stirring up a cloud of dust. Gurgling blood flowed out from his body and dyed the street below him red. And there was no trace of Bair.
Pu Pai bit his lips and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest. Hermione and Jenny rolled off his shoulders. Pu Pai lowered his head and found that his body was caught by the demon who teleported over and lifted him into the air. Pu Pai's ribs began to crack under the increasing strength of Bair. He reluctantly raised his arm and struggled to lift his wand, pointing it directly at Bair. "Avada …"
Bair's burning yellow eyes looked at the struggling wizard mockingly and stopped executing him. His cold but polite voice sounded again. "Warriors Aura, I admire your loyalty. Now, I'll give you a choice. If you give up, I'll let you go. If you still want to continue, I'll give you a chance to attack me."
After that, Bair opened his venomous mouth. The mouth full of sharp teeth and the strong smell of sulfur were exposed in front of Pu Pai, as if he wanted to swallow Pu Pai's Death Curse.
"Divine Protector." Out of Bair's expectations, a silver swan flew out from the tip of Pu Pai's wand and quickly entered his mouth. Bair raised his other hand in a slight panic and grabbed the swan's neck. He clenched his fist, and a few wisps of black smoke came out from his mouth and palm.
Bair coughed dryly with his mouth full of smoke. He angrily stomped Pu Pai's handsome face into a pile of mud. He then raised his uninjured hand and snapped his fingers in front of everyone.
Just like when Allen and Luna were making the arcanist's staff, they did what Bair did to their underling, the pit fiend Amon. Pu Pai and Pluto's corpses emitted wisps of mist, slowly swirling and gathering in the air before finally compressing into two strange soul gems. The faces of the two before their deaths flashed through the gems.
Witnessing the familiar deaths of Pu Pai and Pluto with her own eyes, Hermione's body trembled. The screams of the wind, the sounds of bones being crushed, and the screams of Pu Pai and Pluto before their deaths filled her ears. She couldn't even close her eyes, so the only thing she could do was let the tears flow down her face.
At this moment, the streets of Hogsmeade were stained with blood. Bair's body bowed slightly. He lowered his head and manipulated his two pupils to look in different directions. His burning, steaming mane of flames fluttered in the wind. The dancing flames made him look majestic and awe-inspiring even though he was making such a gentlemanly gesture. "To show my respect and apology, perhaps I should let the whole village be buried with you, Miss Granger?"
