Desperate Situation

In this world, the only people who could fight while fanatically shouting slogans—and shout "For the Greater Good" at that—

Were none other than Grindelwald's fanatical Wizarding Supremacist followers.

Li Weide had no time to think about why Grindelwald's people had come knocking.

"Where are Tom and Professor Hicks?" Li Weide looked past Toby.

Then he saw Tom lying quietly on the floor behind Toby, looking exceptionally peaceful.

"Huh?" Li Weide stared at Tom on the floor in shock.

Had the future Dark Lord died before he could even make his mark?

"Young Master Tom was only knocked unconscious. Professor Hicks is still outside holding them off, but there are too many of them. She won't last long. We need to leave now!"

Toby grabbed Tom's hand with one hand while anxiously reaching his other hand toward Li Weide. "Quick, grab Toby! Toby will take you away first... ah!"

"Boom!" Before Toby could finish speaking, the wall behind him was blown apart.

The violent shockwave knocked Toby unconscious at once, sending him sprawling beside Tom.

Since Li Weide was standing in front of Toby, Toby blocked part of the blast for him, so he did not pass out.

Still, the impact left his head ringing.

A massive hole had been blasted through the wall. Through the clouds of dust, a tall figure was climbing into the room through it!

Li Weide swiftly drew his Beech Wand.

"Obstacles Galore!"

"Boom!"

The tall figure had only just crawled into the room when Li Weide's Obstacle Jinx blasted him straight back out through the hole.

After casting the spell, Li Weide did not hesitate. He immediately rolled to the side and off the bed at its foot.

Without a doubt, it was the right decision.

The instant he rolled off the bed, seven or eight spells struck the spot where he had just been sitting.

The poor wooden bed was blown to pieces by the spells! Feathers and splinters filled the air...

With a flick of his wand, Li Weide pulled Tom and Toby over from a distance.

A heavy wooden cabinet beside them, slowly toppling from the shock, happened to crash down where Tom and Toby had been lying, kicking up another cloud of dust.

Li Weide hurriedly checked the two people on the ground.

Toby had been knocked out by the shockwave, while Tom seemed to have merely been hit by a Stunning Spell. Neither should be seriously hurt.

But now that Toby was unconscious and the Wizarding Supremacists outside would rush in again at any moment, there was no time to wake Toby and have him take them away.

Li Weide looked again at the two unconscious figures on the ground and knew he could not stay here any longer.

If the people outside launched wide-area damage spells such as Blast Curses at the same time, they might bring the house down and bury all of them inside.

Right now, it seemed the only option was to rush out and make a big enough commotion that the enemy would think everyone in the house had escaped, temporarily drawing their fire away from this room.

Besides, he had no idea how Professor Hicks was doing.

Li Weide did not hesitate further. He pointed his wand at a wall beside him.

"Reducto!"

"Boom!"

Li Weide blasted a large hole in the wall.

The instant the hole opened, Li Weide charged out with the flying bricks and dust.

The explosion was a little too sudden, and the people outside had not yet reacted.

Moreover, Li Weide was concealed by the dust, and his eleven-year-old body was small.

For a moment, none of the Wizarding Supremacists outside noticed that Li Weide had already come out.

Li Weide vaguely saw two figures standing before him.

Perhaps because this wall faced the rear of the house, with neither doors nor windows, the Wizarding Supremacists had left only two people on guard. Neither of them had expected someone to emerge from here...

"Stunning Spell!"

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Caught completely off guard, the two were promptly brought down by Li Weide from within the dust cloud.

The people surrounding the house were most likely all enemies, so Li Weide showed no mercy.

Besides, in a life-or-death situation, he had no time to distinguish friend from foe. Better to take them down first.

His dramatic breakout did indeed draw the Wizarding Supremacists' attention.

"There's movement over there! It looks like the people inside broke through the back wall and rushed out!"

They abandoned their attack on the house and instead ran around it toward this side.

A jumble of footsteps approached from afar.

With so many people coming over, Li Weide guessed that Professor Hicks was likely in grave danger...

"Misty Veil!"

After taking down the two men, Li Weide immediately cast the Misty Veil.

In an instant, white mist enveloped everything around Li Weide, and the area it covered rapidly expanded! Thus, when those Wizarding Supremacists rounded the back of the house, they plunged straight into the expanding white mist. "Careful! Don't hurt our own... ah!"

Before the man shouting loudly could finish, he cried out and collapsed to the ground.

Li Weide lowered his wand and swiftly shifted positions within the white mist.

As he ran, mist continuously poured from the tip of his wand!

"He's over there!"

The moment Li Weide moved away, the spot where he had just been standing was bombarded by all kinds of spells!

"We missed him, he ran! Bastard! If you've got the nerve, come out... ah!"

As another loudly shouting Wizarding Supremacist was cleanly taken down, the others no longer dared to make a sound.

Clearly, the person hidden in the mist was attacking by sound! He could strike at any time, while they, because of their numbers and fear of hitting their own people, did not dare attack recklessly.

Just like that, the Wizarding Supremacists' numerical advantage vanished in an instant.

Li Weide kept moving through the mist. They could not see him, but likewise, he could not see them.

He could only use the mist to keep them restrained while hiding within it to launch ambushes. This was the most effective method available to him.

After all, although the strength of his adult soul gave him magical ability no weaker than that of an adult wizard, it was still impossible for him to fight many opponents alone!

What was more, every one of them was an experienced Wizarding Supremacist, Grindelwald's elite!

Even if he picked any one of them for a one-on-one duel, Li Weide, with his limited combat experience at this stage, had little confidence in defeating them.

In the end, he simply had not studied magic for long enough!

"Protego!"

"Prote—"

After two of their companions were ambushed, the remaining Wizarding Supremacists all cast Shield Charms, wrapping themselves tightly in protection!

The Shield Charm's defensive power was quite strong. Other than the three Unforgivable Curses, it could withstand most other spells.

Hearing the Shield Charms, Li Weide's heart sank sharply within the mist.

With Shield Charms protecting them, his spells could no longer take them down in a single hit.

Even if they stood still and let him attack, it would take several spells to break through their Shield Charms.

Surrounded as he was, even pausing for one second too long would get him blasted by spells! Let alone casting several in succession...

"Wind Vortex!"

At that moment, someone cast a Hurricane Spell.

The sudden gale instantly swept away a large section of mist before him, greatly widening his field of vision! Seeing this, the others also cast Hurricane Spells.

In an instant, the once-thick mist was blown apart and scattered everywhere!

At this moment, Li Weide had practically been driven into a desperate situation!
