Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

“What’s going on?” Dumbledore asked in surprise.

Li Weide explained, “This is a sleeping draught we got from Professor Slughorn, originally intended for drugging giants in the Forbidden Forest. I used mine on those people, but Tom hadn't used his yet, so after he was caught, he used it directly…”

“This is a sleeping draught?” Grindelwald looked at Li Weide suspiciously. The moment he smelled that gas, he clearly felt his own body functions rapidly declining!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed Tom away so readily.

Now, you're telling me this thing is just a sleeping draught?

Seeing Li Weide's respectful appearance, completely different from his arrogant demeanor earlier, Grindelwald silently closed his mouth.

It seems this kid doesn't want Dumbledore to know he used poison on his classmate, so he keeps saying it's a sleeping draught.

Everything he's showing now is just an act…

And Tom's complexion is still pale, his eyes clearly showing fear…

Obviously, Tom is still suffering from the after-effects, and Li Weide must have warned Tom when neither he nor Dumbledore were paying attention!

However, even if Grindelwald knew Li Weide was acting, he couldn't do anything.

At this moment, would Dumbledore still listen to him? Especially to words that seemed to slander his favorite student?

So, he chose to shut his mouth.

However, precisely because of this, he admired Li Weide even more.

So cunning, and so ruthless…

How could someone like that stay with Dumbledore forever?

Just wait, sooner or later he'll fall out with Dumbledore!

So, at this moment, Grindelwald wasn't anxious at all, but rather had a hint of anticipation… Let the magic fly for a while!

Compared to Grindelwald's complex inner thoughts, Dumbledore was clearly much happier.

“Drugging giants in the Forbidden Forest? You…,” Dumbledore said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

These two rascals… Even a Gryffindor student wouldn't think of something as outrageous as drugging giants in the Forbidden Forest.

Most importantly, that Horace actually agreed… and even provided these two first-year rascals with the sleeping draught recipe…

But… luckily, otherwise, Tom might have really been in mortal danger tonight.

“You two little fellows are really… Forget it, go wait aside, I'll deal with your issues later.” Dumbledore said, looking at Grindelwald again.

His gentle gaze immediately turned icy again.

Grindelwald said, “What, do you want to kill me now? Dumbledore?”

“I won't kill you. You should face trial before the world, and then suffer the punishment you deserve…” Dumbledore said coldly.

“Ha! Trial? Due punishment? Dumbledore, you never learn!” Grindelwald also sneered, “Unless you kill me now, otherwise… do you think there's any prison in this world that can hold me?”

“Give it up. Facts have proven that the things we envisioned before are impossible to achieve… Do you want to see a fragmented world?”

“We don't need to argue about this anymore, Dumbledore… Come on, let me see if you've improved at all over the years!”

After Grindelwald finished speaking, he raised his hand and fired a green light!

Dumbledore's movements were not slow at all, and a red light shot out from his wand.

Then the two spells collided fiercely, just like the day seven or eight years ago when the blood pact was broken…

Li Weide watched the two powerful wizards in front of him engaging in a “welding competition,” and quickly pulled the slumped Tom off the ground, running directly to hide under the large pillar where Annie was.

Annie was completely stunned at this moment. Both Tom's resurrection and the battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald had a huge impact on her mind.

“Help him up.” Li Weide's voice came from the side, startling Annie from her daze.

She quickly helped Tom over and let him sit down, leaning against the pillar.

“This… is it really not poison?” Annie couldn't help but ask.

Tom, with a pale face, shook his head while gritting his teeth, “No, it really is a sleeping draught. We really intended to drug giants.”

Li Weide nodded in satisfaction when he heard that Tom hadn't revealed anything, and then took out a bottle from his pocket and handed it to Tom.

“Your 'sleeping draught' hasn't completely worn off yet. Drink this and you'll be fine.”

Tom took the bottle blankly, then his eyes suddenly widened.

His poison hasn't completely worn off yet?

Doesn't that mean that if he didn't drink this potion now, he would still die?

And after his answer satisfied Li Weide, he gave him this potion…

So… Li Weide's threat just now, that if he dared to say anything out of line, he would let him sacrifice heroically, wasn't fake!

Ruthless! And petty! This bastard is too terrifying!

Thinking of this, Tom didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately opened the bottle and drank it without looking.

“Ugh! What's with this potion… it smells like a smelly shoe insole?”

Li Weide, while趴在by the pillar and watching the great battle over there, said, "Be content! This is the improved version of the antidote. The one I just smeared under your nose was the original! Do you like that flavor?"

Tom was immediately silent, recalling the smell of the ointment just now... stinky shoe insoles were fine, better than drinking 奥利给 directly!

"Ugh..."

...

"Boom!"

At this moment, the battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald had reached a fever pitch!

They had long since moved on from the initial state of "welding" and "power beam clashes."

Various spells, both understandable and incomprehensible to Li Weide, flew across the sky.

Moreover, in addition to casting spells, they also used Transfiguration to compete...

The earthen giant that Dumbledore had conjured from the rubble was wrestling with a huge earthen fire dragon conjured by Grindelwald.

The battle shook the earth and stirred up clouds of dust...

Nothing missed, nothing first, nothing inside, nothing contained, all in one look!

In the end, even Li Weide couldn't see clearly anymore, and he silently led Tom and Annie, who had just regained their mobility, further away again...

"Bang!"

Grindelwald forcefully deflected one of Dumbledore's spells, then roared and waved the Elder Wand at his earthen dragon.

Then, the earthen dragon bit off the earthen giant's head in one go!

However, this was a product of Transfiguration, not a living being.

Therefore, even with its head bitten off, the giant's combat power remained undiminished, and it punched the earthen dragon's head with its backhand, breaking off its horns...

"Whoosh!" Grindelwald's wand moved again, and a ghostly blue flame instantly transformed into a giant bat, rushing towards the two Transfigured creatures in the arena, as well as Dumbledore behind them!

Dumbledore also waved his wand expressionlessly, releasing a sky full of orange-red flames!

The orange-red flames transformed into a phoenix, colliding fiercely with the ghostly blue flame bat!

The two Transfigured creatures were instantly engulfed by the flames... and after a moment, there wasn't even any ash left!

The intense heat made Li Weide and the other two, who were hiding far away, feel extremely uncomfortable...

Tom's shoe soles even started to melt!

Li Weide used a Freezing Charm to surround the three of them, and then walked another hundred meters away, so that the three of them wouldn't pass out from the heat!

But because they were walking deeper into the Chamber of Secrets, they had now arrived in front of the giant metal sphere.

A trace of desire flashed in Annie's eyes, but she knew that under the watchful eyes of Dumbledore and Li Weide, she couldn't succeed.

Moreover, Grindelwald was still there!

So, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at those magical powers again.

Li Weide and Tom, because they knew the side effects of this power, didn't look tempted at all.

This surprised Annie.

She was sure that these two should have absorbed this magic before... she had experienced that feeling, and it was simply wonderful!

Why weren't these two guys moved at all now?

After Annie took her gaze away from the metal sphere of magical power, she placed it on Vita, who had fainted not far away...

The situation can be said to be very critical.

If Grindelwald wins, it's fine, but what if Grindelwald loses...

Then... even if Grindelwald manages to escape in the end, her aunt and those Nazi wizards will be arrested!

Annie was very anxious at this time, what can she do to help her aunt escape smoothly?

While Annie was anxious, Grindelwald's heart also began to feel anxious.

Because after he officially faced Dumbledore, he realized that Dumbledore's strength was even more terrifying than it had been eight or nine years ago!

What he didn't know was that Dumbledore's strength had greatly increased after Li Weide had resolved his knot earlier...

Originally, according to Grindelwald's estimation, Dumbledore's and his own magical power should be about the same, and the final decision on victory or defeat should be in magical skills...

But now... things were completely beyond his expectations...

Because, even with the Elder Wand in his hand, he felt a sense of powerlessness when facing Dumbledore's attacks!

What exactly did Dumbledore do? Why did his strength suddenly become so terrifying? This puzzled Grindelwald.

"Gellert, you have no chance of winning, put down your wand and surrender," Dumbledore said calmly.

What Grindelwald could feel, Dumbledore could naturally feel as well.

Therefore, he intended to persuade him to surrender, and even called Grindelwald's name directly...

"No... impossible! I can't possibly lose!" Grindelwald barely controlled his fire bat, veins bulging on his neck and forehead...

"I don't want to hurt you, put down your weapon and accept the judgment of the world..." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Shut up! In this world! No one can judge me!"

The Elder Wand in Grindelwald's hand trembled rapidly again, and the ghostly blue flames soared!
