The moon shone bright.

Godric's Hollow.

Atop the clock tower of the small chapel in the town square stood two figures, one behind the other.

The man in front wore a black leather coat. His striking mismatched eyes and sharply chiseled features gave him a hard, angular appearance.

He stood quietly at the highest point in Godric's Hollow, gazing into the distance. He looked like a European aristocrat, reserved yet proud...

This man was none other than Gellert Grindelwald, the one who had turned the entire European wizarding world upside down.

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

"Sir... why launch such a large-scale attack on this place all of a sudden?" Vinda broke the silence.

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

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

As he spoke, Grindelwald turned his gaze once more toward the mist dispersing in the distance.

"I have to 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 cleared.

The decisiveness and magical skill Li Weide displayed at such a young age made Grindelwald's eyes light up.

"If... I can snatch that child away from Dumbledore, then Dumbledore's expression should be quite a sight, shouldn't it?" An expectant smile appeared on Grindelwald's face.

A faint smile also appeared on Vinda's face. "That child is surrounded now..."

At that moment, as the white mist was blown away.

Li Weide was completely exposed before the Wizarding Supremacists.

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 Wizarding Supremacists...

Li Weide watched as the Wizarding Supremacists slowly closed in around him, his mind calmer than ever.

"Haha! It really is some brat who's barely grown any hair!"

"Olaf got 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 nicely, kid! Save yourself some pain!"

"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 the order?"

"..."

At this point, Li Weide was completely surrounded.

The Wizarding Supremacists he had knocked down earlier had also been revived by their companions, and they were glaring at him with hateful eyes.

Being taken down by a child was an utter humiliation to them.

If Grindelwald hadn't wanted him alive, they would have been talking about the Killing Curse instead of the Cruciatus Curse! "I'll say it one more time. Put down your wand obediently!" one Wizarding Supremacist said coldly.

"Why waste words on him? Expelliarmus!"

A red spell shot toward him.

Yet 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 Wizarding Supremacist whose Disarming Charm had missed glared viciously at Li Weide, who had made him look foolish.

"Stunning Spell!"

"Bang!"

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

The Stunning Spell slammed hard into Jester's Shield Charm, blasting a crack into it! Jester was startled and staggered a step backward. That single step immediately sparked another round of laughter from those around him.

It couldn't be helped. Not only had his attack been dodged by a child, but he had even been frightened into taking a step back 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. How else would those guys have been taken down?"

"Hahaha!"

"Shut up! Stop bringing that up!"

"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, surveying the relaxed-looking Wizarding Supremacists around him.

They had him surrounded now and believed he could no longer fight back.

Like a cat toying with a mouse...

Which meant these Wizarding Supremacists had lowered their guard to the absolute minimum! Li Weide slowly raised his wand...

But the Wizarding Supremacists paid it no mind.

They had already seen Li Weide's magic.

Although it was fairly powerful, escaping their encirclement today was practically impossible.

That was why someone had arrogantly declared that he would stand still and let Li Weide attack him.

And when the people around heard that man's words and saw Li Weide raise his wand, they all wore amused smiles, without the slightest trace of tension.

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

The Wizarding Supremacists immediately burst into laughter.

"This brat 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 Wizarding Supremacists stopped laughing upon hearing the spell.

They looked at Li Weide in confusion, wondering why he was casting Lumos instead of Offensive Magic at a time like this. A tiny point of light appeared at the tip of Li Weide's wand.

Just as all the Wizarding Supremacists fixed their eyes on that tiny point of light, its brightness suddenly increased a hundredfold! "Buzz!"

It was like a massive Flashbang exploding right in the middle of the Wizarding Supremacists!

"Ah!"

Cries of agony rose one after another. Every Wizarding Supremacist who had been staring at the point of light was instantly and temporarily robbed of their sight by the intense glare! Li Weide swiftly pointed his wand at his ears.

"Close Eyes and Block Ears!"

Then he pointed his wand at his throat.

"Sonorus!"

The Wizarding Supremacists had been suddenly deprived of their vision and had not yet recovered their senses. They were utterly unable to stop Li Weide.

Li Weide took a deep breath, then unleashed an earth-shaking roar! "WOO!"

The tremendous sound shattered every pane of glass throughout Godric's Hollow! The people who had already been hiding in their homes out of fear of the Wizarding Supremacists trembled even more violently...

"Ah!"

The Wizarding Supremacists, already temporarily blinded, were struck as if by lightning.

That earth-shaking roar only made things worse for them! The Wizarding Supremacists clutched their ears in agony and collapsed to the ground.

Blood trickled from their ears...

Shield Charms couldn't withstand sonic attacks!

Li Weide stood quietly in place, watching the Wizarding Supremacists collapse one after another, unable even to maintain their Shield Charms.

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

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

Magic was inherently shaped by the mind, so bolstered by Li Weide's intense will and emotions, these two simplest spells instantly became a hundred times more powerful.

Combined, they produced the effect of a super Flashbang plus a concussion grenade!

The nearby Wizarding Supremacists suffered miserably for it! With a flick of Li Weide's wand, the pebbles on the ground transformed into thick hemp ropes, binding the Wizarding Supremacists who had lost their ability to move.

Just as Li Weide let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt a hand settle on his shoulder!

"Not bad... but since when did you start 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 an unreadable smile...
