Duel with Grindelwald
"You're quite confident, Mr. Rozier," Grindelwald chuckled. "Since you're unwilling to agree with my ideas no matter what, can I assume that you intend to fight me to the bitter end?"
"I think we've never been on the same side from beginning to end," Xiwen said with a smile.
"Very well, I admire you, courageous little wizard. It's a pity you were lured to Dumbledore's side." Grindelwald chuckled softly. "In that case, draw your wand and let me see just how much you've improved in these past two years."
"Don't push yourself, Rozier!" Kama shouted a warning.
Even Adrian's great-grandfather looked at him with concern and said, "Xiwen, why don't you just let it go? It's just a little concession. Grindelwald is one of the world's top wizards; there's nothing shameful about yielding to him."
Chief Macmillan, who was practically invisible at the long table, was in an even worse state. His face was pale, his body trembling, and he stammered as he pleaded with Xiwen to surrender and not implicate them.
Hearing the advice of the clan leaders, Xiwen didn't say much, but simply shook his head slightly.
I want to try it.
His voice was soft and his tone was calm, but his words were like a raging storm in the hearts of Kama and the other two.
The next moment, Grindelwald vanished into thin air and appeared in the spacious courtyard of the Rosier family.
At the same time, a golden halo appeared behind Xiwen, merging his body into it, and then he appeared opposite Grindelwald, standing face to face with him.
The fine winter snow fell softly, melting into water droplets before even touching the ground, bringing a touch of moisture to the air. Bright lights still shone in the Rosier family's courtyard, their colorful hues and dappled light creating a festive atmosphere.
Amidst a field of blooming blue roses, the young wizard solemnly held his wand upright in front of his chest and bowed respectfully according to dueling etiquette; while the Dark Lord also bowed slightly in dueling etiquette, giving his young opponent ample face.
Immediately, the two raised their wands.
A beam of pale light shot out from Grindelwald's wand, scattering the fine snowflakes in the air.
"Lightenio!"
At the same time, Xiwen swung his wand forcefully, casting Fusion Charm that intertwined blue and yellow lightning.
The two spells collided violently, unleashing a dazzling display of light and shadow like fireworks!
The pale white spell almost immediately gained the upper hand, while the blue and yellow swirling spell swept away on the wind, quickly retreating towards Xiwen.
Xiwen had anticipated his lack of magic power, so he quickly formed hand seals with his left hand, releasing a green Seraphim Shield in front of him.
The pale white spell instantly pushed the blue and yellow entangled spell to its end, then struck the Seraphim Shield with a fierce blow, shattering the shield with a crash!
Kama and the others, who rushed out of the hall, closed their eyes in dismay at the sight, thinking that such a promising young wizard had perished in his duel with Grindelwald.
However, the scenario they envisioned did not materialize.
The shattered shield instantly transformed into countless fluttering butterflies of light and shadow, along with the pale white curse that vanished.
"Interesting." Grindelwald smirked.
Xiwen broke Grindelwald's first spell, but he still dared not catch his breath for a moment. He immediately activated the power of the Maledictus Blood Curse from his bloodline, and a pair of pure white wings extended from his back.
He then crossed his arms in front of him and used the Form of Ikonn to create hundreds of clones.
All the clones flapped their wings, surrounding Grindelwald from all sides, even blocking the falling snowflakes from their encirclement.
"Stupefy!"
Countless Xiwen simultaneously chanted the incantation for the Stunning Spell, and countless pale purple beams of magical energy shot towards Grindelwald.
Grindelwald's eyes narrowed slightly, and he abruptly raised his wand upwards from its angle, which had been pointing diagonally at the ground.
"Finite!"
A ring of pale golden ripples spread outwards from the edge of Grindelwald's wand. First, countless pale purple Stunning Spell were annihilated within the ripples, and then even Xiwen's clone was affected, quietly Oblivion within the ripples.
However, unexpectedly, among Xiwen's many dissipated clones, there was another clone besides his main body that did not disappear!
This clone not only did not dissipate due to the omnipotent antidote, but it also formed a hand seal, summoning a blue-green five-pointed star magic circle.
The next moment, a beam of azure flame with the momentum of scorching the heavens and boiling the sea suddenly shot out from the pentagram magic circle and surged toward Grindelwald!
Wrath of the Vault of Argento reappears
the
Vault
Argento!
Grindelwald intended to avoid the powerful blue-green beam of fire, but when he took a step, he found his feet tightly bound by deep red chains, from which he could not break free for the time being.
Looking back at Xiwen's main body, which was floating in the air with its wings flapping, Grindelwald saw that Shiven's left hand was forming a hand seal, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Bombarda!"
Xiwen was unwilling to give Grindelwald any chance to breathe. While using two forbidden spells from Kamar-Taj, he also cast a powerful blasting spell with his wand in his right hand, aggressively pressing down on him.
A beam of fire and a blasting spell simultaneously struck Grindelwald!
With a deafening roar, a powerful shockwave rippled outwards from Grindelwald's location, flattening the Rosier family estate's once picturesque green lawns, lush shrubs, and vibrant blue roses, even in winter.
The manor was razed to the ground in an instant!
Floating in the air, Xiwen breathed softly, staring intently as the dust settled below, then his pupils suddenly dilated.
Beneath a ring of dark blue flames, Grindelwald's azure eyes shone brightly, showing no signs of being harmed in the slightest!
"Mr. Rozier, I must say you've given me a very pleasant surprise." Grindelwald stared intently at Xiwen in mid-air and said softly, "I see you're tired too, so isn't it my turn next?"
However, just as he finished speaking, a golden-red flame suddenly flashed within the manor that had been razed to the ground.
A reddish-brown wizard appeared in the manor by the firelight, looking at Grindelwald with a complicated expression.
"No, it's our turn next."
