Though it was utterly silent, You Weier Xilieikesi's defensive magic, clearly stronger than Protego Totalum, teetered under the invisible attack.
A sharp gleam flashed in Voldemort's eyes, and his mouth seemed to grow a little wider.

The Golden Shield collapsed, but You Weier vanished with Apparition at that very instant, reappearing on Voldemort's other side. With a flick of his wand, Red Lightning shot from it toward Voldemort.
Voldemort reacted just as quickly, pointing his wand at the suddenly appearing You Weier almost simultaneously. An extremely fine red thread shot from its tip.
The Red Lightning actually crumbled under a single strike. After defeating the lightning, the Red Thread scattered into a hundred even finer threads that shot toward You Weier together.
You Weier's brows were tightly furrowed as he used Apparition again to evade them.
They exchanged another dozen rounds of magic in rapid succession. You Weier came off worse every time, while Voldemort's advantage kept growing. The corners of his mouth could not help curling up slightly.
In a pure contest of magical power and magic, Voldemort clearly still held the upper hand.
Voldemort was pleased but not careless. Although he had clearly suppressed You Weier, defeating him would still take some time. At the very least, he could not do it within the next few exchanges.
