Flashbang!

The moonlight was bright.

Godric's Hollow.

Two figures stood one behind the other atop the bell tower of the small chapel in the town square.

The man in front wore a black leather coat. His striking mismatched eyes and chiseled, sharply defined features gave him a hard-edged look.

He stood quietly at the highest point in Godric's Hollow, gazing into the distance. He looked like a nobleman from Europe—reserved and proud...

This man was none other than Gellert Grindelwald, the one who had thrown the entire European Wizarding World into turmoil.

Behind him stood a beautiful, elegant woman: Vinda Rosier, Grindelwald's most trusted assistant.

"Sir... why make such a grand show of attacking this place?" Vinda broke the silence.

"Because I want to know why, with the situation so tense, busy Dumbledore suddenly went to such lengths to protect two children."

He turned to Vinda. "So, I want to 'invite' those two children over and have a proper meeting with them."

As Grindelwald spoke, he looked once more at the White Mist being blown away in the distance.

"I must say, Dumbledore does have a good eye. Not many people at that age could so easily take down my men."

Grindelwald looked appreciatively at Li Weide, who had now been completely exposed as the mist dispersed.

The decisiveness and magical skill Li Weide had displayed at such a young age caught Grindelwald's attention.

"If... I can snatch that child away from Dumbledore, then Dumbledore's expression is sure to be quite splendid, isn't it?" Anticipation appeared on Grindelwald's face.

A faint smile also surfaced on Vinda's face. "That child has already been surrounded..."

At this moment, as the White Mist was blown away, Li Weide's figure was completely exposed before the Followers of Grindelwald.

Although they had already heard from their companions that the enemy was merely an eleven-year-old child, seeing him suddenly appear before them still felt somewhat unreal.

An eleven-year-old child had actually taken down several experienced Followers of Grindelwald...

As Li Weide watched the Followers of Grindelwald slowly close in around him, his mind had never been calmer.

"Haha! It really is some little brat whose feathers haven't even grown in yet!"

"Olaf was taken down by a little brat like this? Hahaha, I can laugh at him for the rest of his life over this!"

"Little brother, you're so cute. Come into big sister's arms..."

"Put down your wand obediently, kid! Unless you want to suffer!"

"Heh heh! Hit him with a Cruciatus Curse, and he'll behave!"

"Oh! Olaf, you're awake?"

"Get lost! Let me kill him!"

"That won't do! Have you forgotten what the orders were?"

"..."

By now, Li Weide was completely surrounded.

The Followers of Grindelwald whom he had knocked down earlier had also been revived by their companions, and they were glaring at him with hateful eyes.

Being defeated by a child was an utter humiliation to them.

If Grindelwald had not wanted him alive, they would have been talking about the Killing Curse, not the Cruciatus Curse!

"I'll say it again: put down your wand obediently!" one of the Followers of Grindelwald said coldly.

"Why waste words on him? Expelliarmus!"

A red spell shot toward him.

However, Li Weide merely shifted slightly to the side, easily dodging the Disarming Charm.

"Hahaha! Jester! Your spell couldn't even hit a little brat!"

"Lof! Shut the hell up!"

The Follower of Grindelwald whose Disarming Charm had been dodged glared furiously at Li Weide, who had made a fool of him.

"Stupefy!"

Bang!

Jester had barely finished cursing when Li Weide's Stun Spell arrived.

The Stun Spell slammed hard into Jester's Shield Charm, blasting a crack into it!

Jester was shocked and stumbled a step backward. That single step immediately drew another round of laughter from those around him.

After all, not only had his attack been dodged by a child, but he had even been forced back a step by that child's attack.

After the laughter died down, someone suddenly said, "You know, this kid's spells are pretty powerful."

"Of course they are. Otherwise, how do you think those guys got taken down?"

"Ha ha ha!"

"Shut up, don't bring that up again!"

"Come on, kid. I'll stand right here. If you can break through my Shield Charm, I'll admit defeat!"

Li Weide stood in the middle, looking around at the relaxed Followers of Grindelwald surrounding him.

By now, they had already encircled him and believed he could no longer fight back.

Like cats toying with a mouse...

In other words, the Followers of Grindelwald had lowered their guard to the absolute minimum!

Li Weide slowly raised his wand...

But the Followers of Grindelwald did not take it seriously at all.

They had already seen Li Weide's magic just now.

Its power was decent, but escaping from their encirclement today was practically impossible.

That was why someone had shouted so arrogantly, standing still and daring Li Weide to attack.

And after hearing that person's words and seeing Li Weide raise his wand, the people around them all wore amused smiles, without the slightest hint of tension.

"Since when did you get the illusion that I can't fight back?" Li Weide suddenly asked softly.

The Followers of Grindelwald immediately burst into laughter.

"This kid is still putting on a brave front. How ridiculous."

Li Weide said nothing more. He raised his wand above his head, then lifted his left hand to cover his eyes.

"Lumos!"

"Hm?"

The Followers of Grindelwald stopped laughing when they heard the incantation.

They stared at Li Weide in confusion, wondering why he was casting a lighting spell instead of an offensive spell at a time like this.

A tiny point of light appeared at the tip of Li Weide's wand.

Just as the Followers of Grindelwald all turned their eyes toward that tiny speck of light, its brightness abruptly increased a hundredfold!

"Bzzzz!"

It was like a massive Flashbang exploding in the midst of the Followers of Grindelwald!

"Argh!"

Screams rose one after another. Every Follower of Grindelwald who had been staring at the light was instantly and temporarily blinded by the intense glare!

Li Weide quickly pointed his wand at his ears.

"Blind and Deafening Charm!"

Then he pointed his wand at his throat.

"Sonorus!"

The Followers of Grindelwald had suddenly lost their sight and had not yet recovered from the shock. They had no way to stop Li Weide's actions.

Li Weide took a deep breath, then let out an earth-shattering roar!

"Wooooo!"

The tremendous sound shattered every pane of glass in Godric's Hollow!

The people who had already hidden inside their homes out of fear of the Followers of Grindelwald trembled even more violently...

"Argh!"

The Followers of Grindelwald, who had already been temporarily blinded, were struck as if by lightning.

That earth-shaking roar only made things worse for them!

The Followers of Grindelwald clutched their ears in agony and collapsed to the ground.

Blood streamed from their ears...

A Shield Charm could not withstand sonic attacks!

Li Weide stood quietly in place, watching the Followers of Grindelwald fall one after another, unable even to maintain their Shield Charms.

As the youngest biologist of his time, he knew exactly which parts of the human body were the most vulnerable.

The eyes and eardrums were undoubtedly two of them.

Once those two areas were attacked, a person would instantly lose the ability to move...

As for the Lumos Charm and the amplification charm, their power could be adjusted at any time according to a wizard's needs.

Magic was inherently driven by will. With Li Weide's intense determination and emotions behind them, those two simplest spells had their power amplified a hundredfold in an instant.

Combined, they produced the effect of a super Flashbang plus a Concussion Grenade!

The nearby Followers of Grindelwald suffered dearly!

With a light flick of his wand, Li Weide turned the stones on the ground into thick hemp ropes, binding the incapacitated Followers of Grindelwald.

Just as Li Weide let out a soft sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder!

"Not bad... but when did you start laboring under the illusion that you were already safe?"

Li Weide's expression stiffened as he slowly turned his head.

He found Grindelwald looking at him with a faint, amused smile...
