Chapter 518 Flame God
"Protect everyone! The strongest shield!"
"Protect everyone! The strongest shield!"
The wizards in black robes chanted spells, and silver-white light emanated from the tips of their wands and merged into the huge translucent barrier.
The barrier, which was originally like a film, gradually became solid and stable. Looking down from above, it was like a crystal shield had appeared on the earth.
Wade came to Grindelwald and heard the old man's low voice ask: "Remember what I told you about the magic that can restrain the fire shield?"
"Remember," said Vader.
Spells like "End of All Spells" are a universal magic weapon to resist all spells, but they are not the best choice. Especially when dealing with fire magic that gets stronger and stronger, it seems to be twice the result with half the effort.
According to Grindelwald's theory, the best way to deal with spells like Fire Shield and Fiendfyre is to fight fire with fire.
As a very destructive flame, the Fierce Fire seems to have life and thoughts, and has the characteristic of "burning everything combustible", but its own temperature is not particularly high.
Therefore, even if you are only a few feet away from the flame, as long as you don't touch it directly, there will be no damage from heat radiation, burns from high-temperature air, or injuries such as gas explosions.
The key point of the fire shield is its selective lethality. Enemies who come into contact with the flames will be instantly burned to ashes, while companions will remain unharmed and will not even feel any noticeable heat.
The dark magic book that Grindelwald gave to Wade also recorded another kind of fire spell, which emphasized extreme high temperature and lethality. It could instantly suppress and devour the fierce fire, break through the fire shield and instantly destroy the wizard who cast the spell.
The disadvantage is that this spell is extremely exhausting for the wizard and lasts for a very short time.
"You said before that my past strategies were wrong and that massacres and despotism could not change the wizarding world."
Grindelwald's words made Wade look a little unnatural. He thought Grindelwald had skipped that part, so why was he bringing up the past at this time?
Then, the former king said arrogantly:
"Most wizards are stupid lambs who are content with the status quo. When a lion wants to lead them to become wolves, they not only don't want to accept it, but want to rise up and resist."
Wade raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Isn't it natural to fight for your own life and the lives of your family?"
Behind the two of them, the barrier seemed to be almost fully formed, but Grindelwald still had his wand in his pocket and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
He chuckled and said, "I'll admit that there is some truth in what you say. I can see that you have seriously thought about how to change."
"But child, this is not enough... Thoughts and morals alone are not enough to convince people."
“Many people in this world are only afraid of violence that is much stronger than themselves, but are not grateful for the help and kindness of others.”
Grindelwald's eyes seemed to be looking far away. Wade believed that at this moment he, like himself, subconsciously thought of Dumbledore.
Although the plot in the original book where the Ministry of Magic slandered and expelled Dumbledore and Harry and wanted to frame them with various crimes did not happen at this time, Grindelwald seemed to have seen that scene.
He knew it well - the wizarding world was not grateful to their savior, no matter who it was.
"So if you want others to listen to you, you have to show your power... destructive power, so that everyone will become polite, peace-loving, and respect your will." Grindelwald chuckled and said, "Even Athena holds a shield and a spear, Vader. Only violence can stop violence. So go ahead and show everyone your strength."
Just as he finished speaking, a series of loud noises suddenly rang out in the forest.
"Boom—boom—boom—"
As far as Wade could see, seven or eight giant trees pulled their thick roots out of the soil and moved towards the camp.
The tree trunks were twisted and deformed, the branches were shaking, and the huge branches were waving wildly, knocking down the smaller trees in front. Even two large trees that were close to each other were fighting brutally.
The shortest of those trees was as tall as a five or six-story building, and the tallest was thirty or forty meters. They were hidden in the darkness and rumbled forward, causing the earth to tremble violently.
Seeing this scene that seemed to be about to destroy the world, Grindelwald actually laughed.
"I thought that guy was going to wait until the end of the game. It seems our friend lacks a bit of patience."
He pointed his wand upwards, and a huge ball of light flew into the sky, like bringing a new sun to the wasteland, illuminating everything around it in great detail.
Under the black hoods, many witches' faces turned pale and their legs trembled uncontrollably. If it weren't for Grindelwald standing in front, many people would have Disapparated away the moment they saw the giant tree come out.
Even Antoine stopped joking with the people next to him and tightened his grip on his wand slightly.
The wizard holding the Flow Mirror Mother Mirror beside her was a young girl with short brown hair. Her hands were shaking as she asked fearfully, "Why...why should we face this monster alone? There are 100,000 wizards in the gymnasium behind us!"
"Mr. Grindelwald certainly has his reasons." Antoine said with a straight face and forced calmness: "Trust our leader."
The girl nodded, and saw that the wizard beside Grindelwald, who didn't look very strong, was actually walking forward... walking towards those hideous giant trees.
"What does he want to do?"
the brown-haired girl asked in horror.
Antoine said nothing. He looked at Wade worriedly, then at Grindelwald. He couldn't help but take a step forward and stopped under Delain's gaze.
As Wade walked forward, he strangely did not feel fear in his heart, but instead felt unusually calm.
This mental state made him feel strange, as if he was not facing a murderous tree as tall as a building, but just going downstairs to buy breakfast.
He thought: Actually, when I first started, I didn’t want to change anything, nor did I think about how much say I would have... I just wanted to learn more magic in peace.
Magic is magical and the wizarding world is wonderful, but if Voldemort returns, he even thought about taking his parents away from this land and going to a safer country.
But since when did his thoughts change little by little?
Vader looked at the giant tree in front of him, sighed softly, and raised his wand -
"Ignis Divinum Furor!"
