Chapter 236 The World Where Time Stands Still
"You mean I'm definitely going to die today"?
Astoria struggled to control the whirlwind above her head. Her body could not support such a powerful consumption for the time being, but now she could only hold on.
"If I didn't wake myself up, you would be dead today."
Xia Mi glared at Astoria, and then continued:
"Zhang Qi is running towards here at his ultimate speed, but unfortunately, these things will suck you three dry before he can run over."
"what do I do"?
Astoria asked, then tried hard to maintain the whirlwind in the sky, and raised her hand to wipe the big beads of sweat on her temples.
"Damn it, I originally planned to let your body adapt to the dragon's blood for a while before turning on the real speech spirit, but now we have no choice."
Xia Mi raised his head and glared at the persistent Dementors in the sky. The Dragon King's gaze made those disgusting things hesitate for a moment.
However, after only a moment of hesitation, all the Dementors continued to rush downwards, continuing to pound into the whirlwind with perseverance, even if they were torn to pieces inside, they would not stop.
"Listen, Astoria, turning on this word spirit will put a huge burden on your body, but the side effects will only begin to appear 5 minutes after you release this word spirit. During those 5 minutes, if If you fail to send your sister and this wanted criminal to safety, you will still die."
Seeing that he had lost his ability to intimidate those Dementors, Xia Mi shook his head, and then said to Astoria:
"Girl, this should be the last time I communicate with you in a short period of time. This sudden awakening consumes too much of my strength. I will have to fall into a long sleep after today."
"You may have to walk your own path in the future."
Xia Mi said softly.
"You may experience terrible things in the future, but as long as you win in the end, the world will surrender at your feet."
"What did you say"?
Astoria's ears were ringing at this time and she couldn't hear Xia Mi's words clearly.
"Go on, kid."
Xia Mi smiled at Astoria, and then disappeared into the air.
The dementors in the sky seemed to have realized that the girl below could not hold on much longer, so they slowed down their downward pressure, trying to squeeze more fear out of Astoria.
"Time, time"!
Astoria gritted her teeth, hoping that she could delay for a while.
As long as Zhang Qi, who is still running wildly, can arrive before he collapses, and as long as the deans can arrive in time before something happens...
"It would be great if time could be paused"...
Astoria thought silently in her mind, and then accidentally said it in a low voice, as if she was making a wish to the world.
And surprisingly, the world as a listener really responded to her request.
At some point, Astoria suddenly felt that the pressure above her was gone, and it seemed that she could no longer feel the presence of the whirlwind.
Astoria raised her head in confusion.
A huge cloud composed entirely of dementors was still floating above the stadium, but it seemed to be frozen in the sky and stopped moving.
The sand and branches blown up by the strong wind just float in the air, but as long as you stand there and observe carefully, you can find that those things are still moving according to the original trajectory, but the speed has been slowed down to a minimum.
ValleyFor a time, the whole world seemed to be suspended by some kind of constant, becoming an icy statue that could not move.
Time responded to the girl's wish and she was willing to pay the price of 5 minutes.
"Remember, powerful side effects will gradually appear on you in 5 minutes. You only have 5 minutes to get these two people to safety."
Suddenly, Astoria remembered what Xia Mi had told her before disappearing.
Ignoring the pain in her body, the girl quickly ran to the two unconscious men, carried them on her back, and then stumbled towards the gate of the stadium.
Together, these two people weighed a lot. Although Astoria's physical fitness was more than ten times stronger than before, it was extremely difficult to carry them on her back.
But she knew that she must not fall, because if she fell, she would never have the strength to stand up again.
At one minute, the girl ran out of the Quidditch pitch with difficulty and began to fly towards the castle.
At 2 minutes, there was a burning pain next to her cheek. While running, she unfortunately brushed against the nearby bushes and cut her face.
And a large area of the man carrying it in his right hand.
Three minutes later, in a state of confusion, the little boots on the girl's feet had already stepped onto the brick road outside. At this time, she was running with difficulty towards the corridor connecting the Quidditch pitch and the main building of the castle.
After 4 minutes, the girl could finally see the steps in front of the corridor.
It's 5 minutes.
Astoria's feet stepped hard on the steps, and her knees exerted force, but the muscles in her legs had reached their limit.
Finally, after climbing the last step, Astoria fell hard into the corridor with the two people on her.
A heartbreaking pain came from her left arm. The unconscious Daphne and the railing next to the corridor happened to catch Astoria's left arm at the moment she fell. With a sickening muffled sound, the girl's arm suddenly It presents an unnatural reverse bending state.
"No! Only by reaching the castle through this corridor can we truly be safe!"
Astoria struggled to get up from the ground.
"Quick confinement".
She tied the unconscious Daphne tightly behind her with a rope. Astoria also grabbed Sirius' neck with her hands, and then dragged her forward with difficulty.
But at this moment, there seemed to be a crisp sound of a mirror shattering in the extremely empty world.
Everything that had just been frozen was thawed again, and the created tornado was still violently tearing it apart, but after losing the energy attack, it only lasted less than a second before completely dissipating.
The dementors floating above the Quidditch pitch lost their target at that moment and suddenly became chaotic.
But in the next second, these monsters all turned their heads towards the castle, and then let out silent screams.
The Dementor Gates turned into a puff of black smoke in groups and flew towards here in great excitement.
And at the moment when the world started moving again, a wave of sleepiness hit Astoria.
The girl concentrated all her consciousness, staggered a few steps, and then fell to the ground with a plop.
In the gradually darkening vision, Astoria could only see masses of black.
