Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

"old man.."

Maleficent's eyes were half-closed and her voice was still a little weak, but she was gradually regaining control of her body.

"How long can you... hold on?"

I could spend all day with you.

This is the standard answer.

But not Dumbledore's answer.

The serious expression disappeared, and the half-moon lenses seemed to reflect a certain luster. At this time, Dumbledore still had the kind face that often appeared in front of the young wizards at Hogwarts.

"Perhaps, there will still be some time."

His tone sounded relaxed.

The dragon-binding curse was a little stronger again, and Maleficent was immediately suppressed again.

"you know."

"As people get older, they tend to be more verbose."

Maleficent became unable to speak again, but her half-squinted eyes showed disdain. The dragon's vision was very good. She had already seen the sweat on Dumbledore's forehead, his trembling wrists, and saw his weakness.

He wouldn't last long, and once the magic ended...

Maleficent's eyes fell on where Ciel was, and she felt cruel in her heart, she would...

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Maleficent's eyes seemed to pop out.

At the same time, Dumbledore suddenly turned his attention to Ciel because... he woke up.

………………

"This is impossible.."

The shock even made Maleficent temporarily resist the pressure and force out a sentence.

"Please, you are a witch after all."

"Stop fussing like a Muggle all the time."

Gently placing Theodora on the ground, Ciel shrugged and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Just a few seconds ago, he opened his eyes again, and when he opened them, he saw Dumbledore who was still maintaining the dragon-binding curse.

Dumbledore did not disappoint him. It would take about three to five minutes to deal with Theodora according to Ciel's plan. Others might not be able to do it, but Dumbledore should still be able to delay Maleficent for four to five minutes. no problem.

Then Charles saw the half-fairy, half-witch Theodora, and she passed out just like in the spiritual world.

As she fell into coma, the magic was naturally lifted.

Ciel positioned Theodora and picked up his wand.

Dumbledore didn't talk much. The old wizard knew very well that in battle, every second should be used. He and Ciel looked at each other. There was no question in their eyes about how you did it or what kind of magic it was.

There is only another tacit understanding.

However, in Dumbledore's heart, he was relieved. Obviously, Ciel was even better than he thought, or it should be said... that he would be like this in the future...

"Dragon Shackles!"

The next moment, a huge spell fell on Maleficent again.

"No!"

Seemingly using up her last strength, Maleficent let out one last roar under the restraints of the Dragon Binding Curse, and then fell into a coma completely.

………………

At the same time, in the side hall of the Jade Palace.

Grace limped to a high point.

Although she seemed to have injured her leg, the condition was serious, but after all she was also a mercenary who had experienced many battles, so this minor injury was nothing.

With a simple fix, she moved much faster than expected.

Francesco was also found successfully.

She didn't think she would find the wrong target, because the other party's iconic witch costume said everything... In this weird fairy tale world, people dressed like this are definitely enemies.

She also saw Mrs. Termani, but this was not her goal.

"Crack!"

After finding a good position, Grace skillfully set up the sniper rifle, meditated, calmed down, took aim, and then...

"boom!"

"Boom!"

Grace has the potential to be crazy, but this kind of madness and cruelty also gives her a good habit of being cruel and not saying much, especially at this time.

With almost no hesitation, she fired three times.

The bullets shot out instantly.

………………

Francesco looked up.

When Theodora and Maleficent were in danger one after another, she seemed to feel something.

In fact, this is when she sensed that the curse she had placed on the two of them was weakening... None of them were good people, and no one really believed anyone else.

They must be like that too.

When Maleficent let out her final roar, Francesco heard it too.

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to complete the curse.

Even if she should consider running away because Theodora and Maleficent failed, that would only be to complete the curse. After all, there are only a few steps left to get rid of the princesses' new concubine, so why not? .

She didn't realize that Grace was already aiming a sniper rifle at her not far away. Not everyone's intuition is so accurate and scary, otherwise the sniper would become a joke.

"A little fingernail."

"A little pain."

Francesco kept taking out the finger-long potion bottle from her arms, like an inexhaustible treasure bag. She poured the weird-colored but crystal-clear potion in the potion into two palm-sized cauldrons in front of her. middle.

“Pain and despair bring hope.”

"Now, with just a few fairy wings left... hope turns to despair."

Francesco once again took out a few bloody things from his arms and put them on top of another crucible. Mrs. Termani looked on with cold eyes.

She knew very well that Francesco's curse was about to be completed, but she had no intention of interrupting the latter, because she knew very well that Francesco was a witch, and she was just an ordinary person.

Francesco didn't hurt her just for the sake of the past, but if she really wanted to do anything to make Francesco suspicious, the latter would definitely get rid of her very simply.

Protecting yourself wisely has always been what Mrs. Termani is good at.

However, just when the fairy's wings were about to be thrown into the crucible, a gunshot rang out.

"Oh!"

The first bullet hit Francesco's back. It was a tranquilizer bullet at Charles's request, so Grace was not targeting a vulnerable part.

Similarly, with such a large area on her back, there is almost no chance of her missing it, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for her as a Black Swan mercenary.

"Bang bang!"

The other two shots were aimed at the crucible in front of her. This was also Ciel's request. He was too familiar with these witches and their routines.

Francesco has three axes, an apple, a curse, and an old lady.

"what!"

She let out a shrill scream and staggered to the ground. The tranquilizer bomb was not fatal and would take at least half a minute to take effect, but even the impact of the sniper rifle was enough for her to drink a bottle.

Grace is not far from Francesco.

After all, Francesco was proficient in curses, not illumination. After falling to the ground, he struggled a few times and couldn't get up. It is estimated that by the time she recovered, the anesthetic had already taken effect.

Just as Charles planned, Grace successfully completed the task.

But at the same time, the broken crucible and the potion were scattered all over the ground. The sparse potion flowed down the steps and slowly condensed into two small puddles on the ground, and... they were spreading to each other.
