Chapter 96: “Real Battle”
I must mention one thing, Mr. Wickfield, Gellert Grindelwald said with a smile. You have made one of the most remarkable deductions at Hogwarts in the past fifty years! To the point where I cant even fault you for slightly disrupting my plans
Please forgive me, Headmaster Grindelwald, Matthew lowered his head and replied. Im sorry, but I cannot stand idly by while my friends face death
Friendship is indeed an incredibly precious thing, Grindelwalds voice conveyed emotion as he nodded. I can find no fault in your actions. Instead, it is Vinda who sometimes displays a coldness in her behavior and thoughts that goes too far!
Stepping back, Matthew retreated behind Grindelwald and gestured toward the figure before him.
I mean no offense, Headmaster, Matthew spoke softly. But I believe your adversary still stands before you
Yes, Mr. Wickfield, Grindelwalds smile returned to his face.
But its time for me to impart a lesson to you. One that states: When formulating a plan to confront any adversary, you must consider them as formidable as possible before facing them directly. And when you finally face them, the only thing you should do is
Despise them!
Grindelwald The Black Witch Morgana had now grasped her predicament.
Unable to release the Philosophers Stone from her right hand, she used her left hand to wield her magic wand.
The two mighty wizards stood quietly within the hut.
I believe Vinda wouldnt appreciate it if I wrecked her little abode, Grindelwald spoke, seemingly to himself, yet addressing Morgana. So, I think it would be best for us to change the battleground.
Morgana remained silent, akin to a statue frozen in time.
Professor Grindelwald elegantly waved his magic wand.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
This time, Matthew could finally catch a glimpse of the wands appearance: a peculiar wand made from segments of elderberry
The Elder Wand, one of the legendary Deathly Hallows!
Simultaneously, the surrounding scenery began to undergo drastic changes.
Corridors, walls, statues countless scenes whirled around them endlessly.
The tiles on the nearby castle turrets began to detach, floating in the air as though forming a shield formation, shielding both Grindelwald and Matthew.
Ice cones collided with cobblestones, shattering upon impact Numerous shattered debris cascaded down from Matthew and Grindelwald.
But Morganas assault did not cease.
Yet, what plummeted to the ground were mere fragments of stone.
The ice remnants returned to Morgana, slowly melting and transforming back into water. Droplets accumulated in the sky, condensing behind Morgana.
In just ten seconds, the water congealed into a colossal entity
Matthew struggled to discern its form for a moment
It resembled a Grim but stood at least a hundred feet tallfar more significant than an average Grim.
Professor Grindelwald remained undaunted.
As he surveyed the massive water creature hovering in the sky, his silver hair fluttered in the powerful wind.
The Headmaster of Hogwarts was akin to a conductor directing an orchestra, boldly wielding the most powerful wand in the wizarding world.
A pale blue flame suddenly materialized, burning fiercely in the sky, consuming all it touched without restraint.
A column of flame, reaching hundreds of feet high, shot into the heavens, propelled by the old mans arm, chasing after the colossal water monster in the sky.
The sudden surge in temperature caused the water to evaporate violently, causing the monster to rapidly shrink in size
The water vapor rose into the clouds and gradually descended into raindrops.
The most formidable wand was in the hands of the most powerful wizard.
Magic transcended mere light waves between individuals.
It could alter the color of the sky and the earth, dulling the brilliance of the sun and moon
Thus, beneath the pale blue flames, a shower of blue rain suddenly fell from the sky.
