The moonlight was bright.
Godric's Hollow.
At the top of the bell tower of the small church in the town square, two figures stood one in front of the other.
The man in front wore a black leather coat, with strikingly different-colored eyes. His face was sharp and angular, as though it had been carved with a chisel, giving him a rugged appearance.
He stood quietly at the highest point of Godric's Hollow, gazing into the distance, looking like a European noble—reserved yet proud...
This man was none other than Gellert Grindelwald, the one who had stirred the entire European wizarding world into chaos.
Behind him stood a graceful and beautiful woman, who was none other than Grindelwald's most trusted assistant, Vinda Rosier.
"Sir... why suddenly make such a big show of attacking this place?" Vinda broke the silence.
"Because I want to know, with the situation so tense, why Dumbledore, who's been so busy, suddenly put so much effort into protecting those two children."
He turned to look at Vinda. "So, I want to 'invite' those two children over, and have a good meeting with them."
As Grindelwald spoke, he once again turned his gaze to the distant mist that was slowly being blown away.
"Heh~ I have to say, Dumbledore really has an eye for talent. Not many people can so easily take down my subordinates at this age," Grindelwald said, his gaze filled with admiration as he looked at Wade, who had fully emerged from the mist.
Wade's courage and magical prowess at his age truly caught Grindelwald's attention.
"If... I manage to snatch that child from Dumbledore, I'm sure Dumbledore's expression will be quite something," Grindelwald said, a look of anticipation on his face.
Vinda's face also showed a slight smile.
"That child is already surrounded..."
...
At this moment, as the white mist was blown away, Wade's figure was fully exposed to the Pureblood Party members.
Even though these Pureblood Party members had already heard their teammates say that the enemy was just an eleven-year-old child, seeing him appear before them still felt surreal.
An eleven-year-old child had really taken down several experienced Pureblood Party members...
Wade looked at the Pureblood Party members slowly surrounding him, feeling an unprecedented calmness in his heart.
"Haha! So it really is just a little brat who's barely out of his diapers!"
"Olaf was taken down by such a little brat? Hahaha, I can laugh at him for the rest of his life!"
"Oh~ poor little child, you're so cute, come to sister's arms..."
"Put down your wand, kid! Or you'll suffer!"
"Hehe! Give him a Cruciatus Curse, and he'll behave!"
"Hey! Olaf, you're awake?"
"Get out of the way! Let me kill him!"
"That won't do! Did you forget the orders?"
"…"
At this point, Wade was completely surrounded. That feeling of unprecedented calmness in his heart had now turned to awkwardness.
The Pureblood Party members he had previously knocked out had been revived by their teammates, and were now glaring at him with hatred.
Being knocked out by a child was an immense disgrace to them.
If it weren't for Grindelwald wanting them alive, they would have used the Killing Curse instead of the Cruciatus Curse!
"I'll say it again, put your wand down, quietly!" one of the Pureblood Party members said coldly.
"Why waste time talking to him? Disarm him!"
The red spell suddenly flew toward him.
However, Wade simply sidestepped slightly, and the disarming spell missed.
"Hahaha! Jester! Your spell couldn't even hit a little brat!"
"Lov! Shut up!" The Pureblood Party member, who had missed with the disarming spell, glared fiercely at Wade, who had embarrassed him.
"Stupefy!"
Bang!
Just after Jester finished yelling, Wade's Stunning Spell hit him.
The Stunning Spell slammed into Jester's Shield Charm, creating a crack!
Jester was taken by surprise and staggered back a step. It was this step back that caused the others around to burst into laughter again.
There was no helping it—he had not only missed his attack against a child but had also been forced back by the child's own attack!
After the laughter subsided, someone suddenly said, "You know, this kid's spells actually pack quite a punch."
"Of course, otherwise how would they have been taken down?"
"Hahaha!"
"Shut up, stop talking about that!"
"Come on, kid, I'm standing right here. If you can break through my Shield Charm, I'll admit defeat!"
"..."
Wade stood in the middle, calmly surveying the Pureblood Party members around him, who wore relaxed expressions.
By now, they had surrounded him, thinking he was defenseless.
It was like a cat playing with a mouse...
In other words, the Pureblood Party's guard was at its lowest!
Wade slowly raised his wand...
But the Pureblood Party members paid no attention to him.
After all, they had already seen Wade's magic earlier.
Although the spell had considerable power, escaping from their encirclement today seemed almost impossible.
That's why someone was loudly taunting, standing still and daring Wade to attack.
When the others heard this and saw Wade raise his wand, they all had amused expressions, completely devoid of any sense of tension.
"When did you all start thinking I couldn't fight back?" Wade suddenly said softly.
The Pureblood Party members immediately burst into laughter.
"This kid is still trying to bluff. How pathetic."
Wade didn't say anything else. Instead, he raised his wand above his head and then covered his eyes with his left hand.
"Lumos!"
"Huh?"
The Pureblood Party members immediately stopped laughing when they heard the incantation.
They looked at Wade in confusion, wondering why, at this moment, he wasn't casting an attack spell, but instead using a light spell?
At that moment, the tip of Wade's wand glowed faintly.
As the Pureblood Party members all focused on that tiny light spot, its brightness suddenly increased a hundredfold!
Buzz!
It was like a massive flashbang went off right in the center of the Pureblood Party members!
"Ahhhh!"
Screams rang out one after another as all the Pureblood Party members who had been staring at the light spot were instantly blinded by the intense flash!
Wade quickly pointed his wand at his ears.
"Muffliato!"
Then he pointed his wand at his throat.
"Sonorus!!"
At this moment, the Pureblood Party members, still disoriented from losing their vision, were completely unable to stop Wade's movements.
Fuuuuuuu~~~ Ssssssss~~
Wade took a deep breath and then let out an earth-shattering roar! "AaaaaahhhHHHH!!!!"
"Ugh!"
"What the—!"
"Ack—!"
The immense sound shattered all the glass in Godric's Hollow!
The people who had been hiding in their homes out of fear of the Pureblood Party were now even more terrified, trembling in fear...
The Pureblood Party members, who had already been temporarily deprived of their vision, were instantly struck as if by a lightning bolt.
The earth-shattering roar was like a curse upon them, making their situation even worse!
The Pureblood Party members were all clutching their ears in pain, collapsing to the ground.
Blood began to flow from their ears...
The Shield Charm couldn't withstand the attack of sound waves!
Wade stood in place, watching the Pureblood Party members collapse one by one, unable to maintain their Shield Charms.
As the youngest biologist of his time, he knew exactly where the human body was most vulnerable.
The eyes and eardrums were undoubtedly among the most vulnerable areas.
Once these two places were targeted, a person would instantly lose their ability to act...
As for the Lumos Charm and Sound Amplifying Charm, they could always be adjusted for strength depending on the wizard's needs.
Because magic is inherently idealistic, under Wade's strong will and emotions, these two simple spells immediately gained a hundredfold increase in power.
Combined, they created the effect of a super flashbang + shockwave!
The Pureblood Party members, who were so close, suffered greatly from it!
Wade lightly waved his wand, and the stones on the ground turned into thick ropes, binding the immobilized Pureblood Party members.
"Huff... huff.. Finally.."
Just as Wade let out a sigh of relief...
Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder!
"Well done... But when did you start thinking you were safe?"
"!!!"
Wade froze for a moment, slowly turning his head.
He was just in time to see Grindelwald watching him with a smile that was neither a smile nor a sneer...
