Fierce Battle

As Grindelwald finished speaking, Vida immediately cast a Stunning Spell on Xiwen.

Xiwen immediately raised his left hand to his chest, Rings of Raggadorr, which was already prepared, instantly wrapped around his arm, blocking Vida's Stunning Spell.

"Protego!"

After blocking Vida's first spell, Xiwen didn't pause for a moment and immediately began chanting the Shield Charm.

Under Xiwen's control, the Rings of Raggadorr was drawn into the Shield Charm and fused together, quickly covering Xiwen's robes to form a Cloak radiating golden light—the very Combined Spellcasting Xiwen had recently successfully executed: the Raggatego!

Flamel sighed softly and said to his wife, "It's been ten years since I last laid a hand on someone..."

Although he was expressing his feelings verbally, his hands moved swiftly, instantly summoning a huge white protective shield that protected the three of them in the center of the opera house.

Madam Flamel also took out her wand, but pointed it at Xiwen.

Under Xiwen's questioning gaze, she waved her wand, pulling Xiwen directly from a distance to the Flamel in front of them.

"Nick!" Madam Flamel called out urgently.

Flamel quickly pulled a spinning top-shaped object from his bag, intending to activate it.

However, his expression quickly turned grim, and he shook his head at his wife and Xiwen, saying, "They've set up a spell to restrict the Portkey."

At that moment, Grindelwald strolled over at a leisurely pace. With a casual wave of his wand, he easily tore a hole in the powerful protective magic that Flamel had set up.

"Mr. Flamel, now that we've arrived in Paris, how can you think we weren't adequately prepared beforehand?" Grindelwald stepped into the protective shield through the newly torn opening and smiled at the three of Xiwen.

Without another word, Flamel and his Madam Flamel immediately unleashed two powerful spells at Grindelwald. However, he flicked their spells away, sending them flying into the surrounding protective shield, shattering the newly erected white barrier.

Then, Grindelwald waved his hand, and a group of Saints who had been waiting outside the opera house rushed in and surrounded the three of them.

"Mr. Flamel, Madam Flamel, and Mr. Rozier, given the circumstances, haven't you made a decision yet?" Grindelwald parted his men and walked directly to Xiwen three men, asking them.

"Xiwen, there's no need for you to remain so stubborn. Only Lord Grindelwald can save the future of the Wizarding World!" Vida said calmly. Like the Saints around her, she raised her wand and pointed it at Xiwen and the other two.

"Now, put down your wands!" another Saints shouted at the three.

Flamel sighed bitterly, tossing his wand to the ground. "Actually," he said helplessly, "Albus advised me months ago not to leave the safe house. But I'm getting on in years and don't have many other hobbies besides opera, so I always find myself going out. Eventually, I stopped taking his advice to heart..."

Madam Flamel also put down her wand and said softly, "It's just a pity that we've dragged little Xiwen into this."

"It's alright, Madam Flamel." Xiwen shook his head, slowly squatted down, and placed his wand on the ground.

After crouching down, he used the golden Cloak formed by Raggatego to whisper in a voice only the Flamel could hear, "I have a way to temporarily trap Grindelwald. After I make my move, I need you two to take me away from the scene immediately."

The Flamel and Schiffen did not show any change in expression upon hearing Xiwen's words.

"How do you plan to take us to Nurmengard?" Flamel deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of Grindelwald and the Saints.

Hearing Flamel's words, Grindelwald chuckled softly.

He then clapped his hands and said to one of his men behind him, "Abernathy!"

A man holding a magic wand nodded and walked into the opera house lobby.

Soon, a black carriage, shaped like a hearse, was pulled into the magnificent hall of the Palais Garnier.

The chariot was pulled by eight bizarre flying horses. They resembled reptiles, were emaciated, had dragon-like faces and bat-like broad wings, and had white eyes without pupils.

"This is the carriage that the Magical Congress of the United States arranged to transport me to Europe back then. I brought it back especially for your pleasant journey. I wonder if Mr. Flamel is satisfied with this arrangement?" Grindelwald said, a carefree and flamboyant smile on his face as he looked at the Flamel.

Xiwen tucked his hands into the sleeves of his outer robe, slowly forming hand seals, preparing the spell for what was to come.

At the same time, he pretended to be curious and looked back at the carriage that Grindelwald had mentioned.

However, all Xiwen saw was a carriage that looked like a hearse and eight reins that were eerily suspended in the air.

"Where's the horse?" Xiwen was stunned, looking at the carriage in the hall with a puzzled expression.

However, his spells were already prepared, and this was clearly not the time to dwell on these issues.

Xiwen turned around abruptly and pushed his hands forward. With his movement, a giant ripple, seemingly composed of countless transparent mirrors, moved rapidly toward Grindelwald.

Finally, after the Sub-Soul within this body had fully grown, Xiwen was able to independently cast the Mirror Dimension without relying on the power of the Soul Body!

Grindelwald waved his hand and unleashed a spell, but the spell was reflected back by the mirror and nearly hit a nearby Saints.

The Flamel reacted just as swiftly. As soon as Xiwen made his move, the two immediately used the Wandless Summoning Charm to retrieve their wands and unleashed several spells in succession, stunning the Saints in front of them who were not shrouded in the Mirror Dimension.

Xiwen formed hand seals again, completely closing the spatial barrier of the Mirror Dimension, causing Grindelwald and the other wizards to disappear from the opera house.

Since arriving in this world, because he cannot open the Dimensional Gate without Sling Ring, when Xiwen opens the Mirror Dimension, he usually only casts half of the spell, leaving behind a space wall that resembles a broken mirror for entry and exit.

This time, in order to trap Grindelwald, it can be considered the first time that Xiwen has used the complete Mirror Dimension in this world!

"Quick, I don't know how long I can hold off Grindelwald!" Xiwen quickly picked up his wand from the ground and said to the Flamel.

The Mirror Dimension is not omnipotent after all; with his current mental strength, he can only open a dimension the size of the Palais Garnier at most. Even if Grindelwald might spend more time in it due to his unfamiliarity with the spell, it shouldn't take too long.

Since there are no Dimensional Gate for entry and exit, Oblivion the entire Mirror Dimension is the last resort!

Upon hearing Xiwen's words, Flamel nodded. He took a piece of cloth from his bag and tossed it into the air.

The piece of cloth stretched and extended in the air, quickly transforming into a flying magic carpet the size of a bed. Under Flamel's control, the magic carpet immediately carried the three of Xiwen, rapidly flying towards the opera house's exit.

As expected, there were many Saints guarding the area outside the Palais Garnier. When they saw Xiwen three of them come out, they all stepped forward to stop them.

Fortunately, the Flamel, who hadn't fought in a long time, seemed to have rediscovered the feeling of fighting side by side. One spell after another shot out from the tips of their wands, and none of the Saints who blocked their way could withstand them!

Propelled by the magic carpet's high speed, the three quickly spotted the opera house's exit, which was also the furthest point of the spell restricting the operation of the Portkey!

Xiwen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, all three of them gasped in shock.

Grindelwald's arrogant figure was already leaning against the entrance of the opera house, as if he were waiting for the three of them to arrive!
