Chapter 49: Raise Fire Shields, End All Spells!
Gellert Grindelwald had his pride, and for Voldemort, he truly looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
In 1998, the resurrected Voldemort sought Grindelwald for the Elder Wand. Grindelwald simply laughed at Voldemort, then chose to die with dignity.
In this, he was like Dumbledore, always treating life and death with indifference. For them, death was perhaps the beginning of a new adventure.
And then, he saw another familiar scene from a different angle.
［Lestrange Tomb
Azure flames engulfed the entire tomb, the eerie flames sending hot winds that ruffled Nicolas Flamel’s silver hair. His eyes remained fixed on the sky ahead.
Within the blue flames, the fire transformed into three dragon-like azure demons! The three demons flapped their wings, as if constantly expanding.
But the most shocking thing was that as the flames devoured more fuel, they grew stronger!
Looking at this scene, Nicolas Flamel finally shouted:
“Everyone, insert your wands into the ground! Otherwise, all of Paris will be destroyed by this magic!”］
“What...what kind of magic is that?!”
Ron was dumbfounded. He had never seen such terrifying magic.
In his memory, the strongest magic was the kind his father used to kill several people at once. But this!
It had shattered his imagination!
“Fire Shield, a variation of the Protego spell. It could also be an advanced spell.”
Zhang Dong explained, then looked enviously at Grindelwald’s flaming stove in the video.
Who said the Shield Charm couldn’t kill?
Harry was also speechless. “It’s good that such a wizard was defeated by Dumbledore. Otherwise…”
The thought of Grindelwald and Voldemort joining forces, the image alone made him shudder.
［Hearing Nicolas Flamel’s words, all the wizards present nodded and without hesitation, inserted their wands into the ground!
“End All Spells!!”
“End All Spells!!”
Two figures in the east were the first to react! They simultaneously inserted their wands into the ground!］
“That’s Newt Scamander! I’ve seen his portrait!” A young Hufflepuff immediately recognized one of the figures.
He was the pride of Hufflepuff! The author of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”! Newt Scamander!
What? You say Newt was expelled and doesn’t count as a Hufflepuff?
Nonsense! Once a Hufflepuff, always a Hufflepuff! Even though he was expelled, Newt still said Hogwarts was the best magical school in the world, which speaks volumes about his stance.
“Who’s the one next to Newt Scamander?”
“It seems to be Newt Scamander’s brother, called…called…”
“Never mind the name! The point is, Newt Scamander is awesome!”
［In the south, seeing Newt and Theseus’ actions, the two Aurors who came with Theseus reacted immediately!
“End All Spells!”
“End All Spells!”
Originally, fifty Aurors followed Theseus, either openly or secretly, but just now, some of them betrayed after hearing a few words, and many died under this spell.
Now, only a few of them were still alive.］
“It’s that bad? What happened? Why did so many Aurors die?”
“I don’t know. Those were Aurors, the elite of the wizarding world! So many died! This is all Grindelwald’s doing!”
“The entire British Ministry of Magic only has a few hundred Aurors! So many gone in one go! If it were Fudge, he would probably be heartbroken.”
It wasn’t easy to become an Auror. Besides passing the background check, you needed to achieve an E (Exceeds Expectations) in five subjects in the N.E.W.T. advanced wizarding exam to qualify. Don’t think it’s easy. Professor McGonagall later said that in all of 1995, no one managed to pass the Auror training and become a new Auror.
You can see how difficult it is to become an Auror.
And even then, so many were lost in one go. This shows Grindelwald’s strength.
Everyone was eager to know what had happened before, because although there were history books, they only recorded a few lines. How could that be as interesting as watching a video?
Unfortunately, the video clearly wasn’t going to rewind.
［“End All Spells!”
“End All Spells!”
In the west, Tina and Queenie also released this spell!］
Unfortunately, the Hogwarts students didn’t know these two well and didn’t react much.
［In the north, Nicolas Flamel Apparated to this place alone, then directly inserted his wand into the ground.
“End All Spells!”
BOOM!! Orange-red magic erupted from the ground as a barrier! The light turned into flames, separating the entire world!
The blue fire demons continuously charged, red and blue flames intertwined and burst, illuminating the entire night.
However, no matter how ferocious these fire demons were, they could never break through the “End All Spells” of the seven wizards!
Finally, as if they had come alive, the fire demons gathered. The largest fire demon charged directly towards the sky!
Seeing the fire demon about to escape, all the wizards simultaneously controlled their wands, the “End All Spells” flames began to twist and rise, like thick chains. Finally, at the last moment when the fire demon escaped, it was chained!
“Ah!!!”
Theseus roared, perhaps his magic was about to run out, or perhaps to vent his inner pain, under their control!
Red flames dragged the blue demon into the ground, finally disappearing into the world!］
The video ended.
However, all the young witches and wizards present were unable to recover from this video.
“This…this is a real wizard duel?” Ron was dumbfounded. Today’s video had shattered his previous impression of wizarding combat.
Hermione was also dumbfounded. She always thought that so-called wizards were just like that, relying on the weirdness of magic to deal with Muggle humans. If it were a direct confrontation, a gun could kill a whole bunch of wizards.
However, this scene completely changed her mind.
He could put one in Paris, then run to London to put another one, then run to Barcelona to put another one, anyway, he’s just one person with a wand, who could defend against him?
As for Quirrell…he silently swallowed his saliva and whispered to his master,
“Master…can you do that too?”
“Of course!” Voldemort almost immediately shouted, afraid that he would lose face if he was too slow.
However, he silently added in his heart.
“As long as I regain my full strength and get the Elder Wand.”
As for now?
Don’t be ridiculous. He can’t even beat Snape!
