Meanwhile, Cassandra, Cedric, and the others, who had remained silent until now, stood with Wentworth. Cassandra, instead of panicking, excitedly said:

"That's it! That's the feeling! That feeling of being the enemy of the world! I love this feeling! This is the future I've chosen to follow! Wentworth, I'm willing to stand with you, no matter who the enemy is, even if it means defying the gods!"

Cedric, however, was even more direct, drawing his wand without hesitation and closing in. Since Grimm's death, Cedric had clearly changed a lot; the once perpetually sunny young man now spoke with a cold expression:

"I will never again let even one of my friends sacrifice themselves!"

In an instant, the battlefield descended into complete chaos. The four forces were locked in a fierce battle, with spells flying everywhere and wizards falling every moment.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Rat Tower, Luna calmly observed everything unfolding on the field, forcibly suppressing the urge to rush out and join the battle, and carefully began to plan.

Although the scene appeared incredibly tense, the Vigilantes were fighting the Death Eaters and goblins alone, while Wentworth led the Hogwarts community to confront the wizards in the International Wizarding Federation investigation team led by Bruce Fontana.

Fortunately, Dumbledore single-handedly held off Voldemort and the High Elder Goblin, two formidable forces; otherwise, even with the strength of the Vigilantes, they would likely be in grave danger by now.

Seeing the battle reach a stalemate and the Mughal Party struggling, Luna decided to stop hesitating. She gritted her teeth and resolutely reached for the Portkey that Dumbledore had left her. With a dizzy spell, when Luna came to her senses, she found herself in front of an ancient and dilapidated castle.

Luna looked up at the castle door and saw the words written on it: For the greater good.

Seeing this, Luna knew that she had arrived at a place she had only heard about on Chocolate Frog cards before—Niumengard!

Admiring her surroundings, Luna then plunged into Nurmengard Castle.

Luna climbed the dilapidated stairs, surrounded by complete silence; it was as if the world had forgotten this place.

Finally, when Luna reached the top floor of the castle, she still couldn't find the master of this place, the legendary first Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald.

Just as Luna was puzzled, voices suddenly echoed from within the empty castle:

"Who are you? Why are you here?!"

Hearing the question, Luna was taken aback, then calmly replied:

"My name is Luna, Luna Lovegood! I am a witch, and I am here today on behalf of my headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, to invite the most powerful dark wizard in history, Gellert Grindelwald, to come out of seclusion!"

Luna's voice trailed off, but she received no reply for a long time. Just as Luna was starting to wonder what was going on, suddenly, the voice rang out again from behind her:

"Albus sent you to see me? What happened to him?"

The sudden sound startled Luna. She turned around and saw a ragged, gray-haired wizard standing behind her.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Luna said with some curiosity:

"You are Gellert Grindelwald? The leader of the Malaist Party?"

Gellert Grindelwald glanced at Luna, who was looking completely bewildered, sighed, and then, in the next second, he transformed right before her eyes.

The ragged old man transformed in just a few seconds into a wizard with thick silver hair and a black trench coat. His two completely different eyes radiated the same mysterious and dangerous light.

Luna stared in disbelief, only managing to utter a single, blank sentence:

"This is way better than compound decoctions!"

Gellert Grindelwald, however, looked coldly at Luna and spoke, word by word:

"Now, can you tell me? Why did Albus send you to see me?!"

Just as Luna was heading to Neumontard to meet Gellert Grindelwald, the battle was escalating rapidly beneath the Rat Tower on the banks of the Rhine in Germany.

Albus Dumbledore, Voldemort, and the High Elder Goblin were locked in a fierce battle, while Wentworth and Bruce Fontana were locked in combat, their spells clashing repeatedly, creating a series of booming explosions.

Wentworth said, waving his wand.

"I'm very curious, why is the U.S. Ministry of Magic so fixated on me? Is something like the goblin rebellion more important than me?!"

Bruce Fontana, however, said with a cold laugh:

“You’re wrong, Wentworth. Your people are not important to us, but your death is very important to us!”

Chapter 467 Gellert Emerges from the Tower

Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord

Upon hearing Bruce Fontana's words, Wentworth couldn't help but recall what Christine had once said, and tentatively asked:

"Is it because of that prophecy within your Magical Congress of America?!"

Upon hearing Wentworth's words, Bruce Fontana was taken aback, then sneered:

"As expected of the new leader of the Masonic Party, he even knows the prophecies within our Magical Congress of America. However, the truth is often more magical than the legends."

"The real reason is because of a will!"

Hearing Bruce Fontana's words, Wentworth was completely bewildered. He had somehow gotten involved with wills? What will? His parents had died suddenly, probably without time to make a will, and his only other known elder was still alive and well in Newmont Gedder!

Bruce Fontana then began to explain:

"Back then, your grandfather disguised himself as Percival Grevis and entered the Magical Congress of the United States, hiding for several months. But after he was exposed, the Magical Congress of the United States searched for years without finding out where the real Percival Grevis had gone."

"You must understand that the Gravis family's influence in the Magical Congress of the United States is no less than that of our Fontana family. It can be said that our two families occupy more than half of the important seats in the Magical Congress of the United States. Percival Gravis was the leading figure among the younger generation of the Gravis family at that time. His disappearance had a huge impact on the Gravis family!"

"Therefore, before the old patriarch of the Grevis family passed away, he left a will stating that if any member of the Grevis family could find Percival Grevis, or even his corpse, they would automatically become the new patriarch of the Grevis family."

"If anyone else finds Percival Grevis or his body, the Grevis family must unconditionally grant any three of their requests and do everything in their power to fulfill them."

Hearing Bruce Fontana's explanation, Wentworth was even more confused, saying somewhat bewildered:

"What does this have to do with me?"

Bruce Fontana then sneered and said:

"Because the old patriarch of the Grevis family was also a prophet. Along with the will, he left behind a prophecy. However, according to the will, this prophecy could not be opened until after 1990!"

Upon hearing this, Wentworth's heart skipped a beat, because 1990 was the year he himself had transmigrated to this world!

Bruce Fontana, oblivious to the change in Wentworth's expression, continued:

"Do you know what the prophecy said? It foretold your appearance and even wrote at the end: Any wizard who can kill you will receive the same promise as the will!"

At this point, Bruce Fontana paused, then added:

"Of course, according to the will, killing Gellert Grindelwald is also an option, but no one dares to do it..."

Wentworth wasn't too surprised by Bruce Fontana's explanation. After all, the other party must have had an ulterior motive for going to such lengths; it couldn't just be because of the feud between the Vigilantes and the Magical Congress of America.

But at this moment, Wentworth was wondering whether Christine, who had disappeared without a trace after returning to the United States, knew the truth of the matter.

There's no reason why Christine, a direct descendant of the Grevis family, wouldn't know something that even an outsider like Bruce Fontana did! So, how did she manage to get away with it right under Rozier's nose and the others' noses?

Wentworth had made up his mind that once this matter was settled, he would definitely make a trip to America. It would be impolite not to reciprocate, and since so many people in the Magical Congress of America longed for him, he would naturally fulfill their wishes.

Thinking of this, Wentworth couldn't help but say to Bruce Fontana:

"In that case, why don't you go back to America and wait for me? I will definitely visit the Magic Congress of America within three months!"

Upon hearing Wentworth's words, Bruce Fontana was stunned for a moment, then said with an incredulous look:

"You UMNO members want to return to America?!"

But then, Bruce Fontana's face darkened, and he said harshly:

"Then I absolutely cannot let you leave! Your life is mine, and no one can take it away from me!"

Wentworth was immediately amused by Bruce Fontana, and said with a cold laugh:

"You're dreaming! You really think you can take me down? I can fight you for three days and three nights, you believe me?!"

Bruce Fontana, however, said with a cold laugh:

“Wentworth, you can fight for three days and three nights, but can Albus Dumbledore do the same? He’s over a hundred years old!”

Upon hearing Bruce Fontana's words, Wentworth's face instantly darkened, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.

Meanwhile, inside Nurmengard Castle, after listening to Luna's story, Gellert Grindelwald sighed deeply and shook his head, saying:

"To be over a hundred years old and still fighting with people, what an unfilial descendant!"

Luna: "...???"

At that moment, Gellert Grindelwald slowly walked to a dilapidated window. Seeing that Luna did not react, Gellert Grindelwald even waved to Luna.

Luna quickly went to Gellert Grindelwald's side and asked in a sweet voice:

What are your orders?

Gellert Grindelwald said with some surprise:

"What orders could I possibly give? Go fight, of course!"

Luna was taken aback for a moment, then asked with some confusion:

"May I ask, how do you plan to get there? Aren't we using Phantom Teleportation?"

This time, Gellert Grindelwald didn't answer Luna's question immediately. Instead, he whistled at the mountains and forests outside the window.

The next second, a roar seemed to come from the distant forest. Soon, Luna saw a black dot in the distant sky growing bigger and bigger. As it got closer, Luna realized that it was a dragon, a Norwegian Spinosaurus!

While Luna was still stunned, Gellert Grindelwald grabbed Luna's hand and jumped out of the window, landing steadily on the back of a Norwegian Spinosaurus, causing Luna to let out a terrified scream.

Gellert Grindelwald, however, didn't seem to care and casually remarked:

“Its name is Nibelungen, and it’s my pet. You just asked how we got there? Here’s the answer: today, we’re flying there!”

Then, with a dragon's roar, Gellert Grindelwald, holding Luna, stood on the back of the Nibelung dragon and suddenly flew into the distant sky.

On this day, in Neumunga, Austria.

The first Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald, emerged riding a dragon!

Chapter 468 Dispute

Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord

Luna stood on the back of a Norwegian dinosaur named Nibelungen, letting the howling, biting wind tousle her hair.

At that moment, three questions flashed through Luna's mind:

Who am I? Where am I? Is this guy next to me really over a hundred years old?!

Are you kidding me?!
