"What's going on?"
Dumbledore asked in surprise.
Livde
explained, "This is a sleeping potion we got from Professor Slughorn.
We originally planned to use it on the trolls in the Forbidden Forest.
I used mine on those people, but the one on Tom hadn't been used yet, so after he was captured, we used it on him..."
"This is a sleeping potion?"
Grindelwald looked at Livde suspiciously.
The moment he smelled the gas, he clearly felt his bodily functions rapidly deteriorating!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed Tom away so readily.
Now, you're telling me this stuff is just a sleeping potion?
Seeing Livde's now completely submissive demeanor, so different from his previous arrogant self, Grindelwald silently shut his mouth.
It seems this kid doesn't want Dumbledore to know he used poison on his classmate, which is why he keeps saying it's a sleeping potion.
Everything he's showing now is just an act...and Tom's face is still pale, his eyes clearly filled with fear...obviously, Tom is still under the effects of the poison, and Ridley Scott must have warned him without either of them noticing!
However, even if Grindelwald knew Ridley Scott was acting, there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, would Dumbledore listen to him?
Or would he listen to something that sounded like slander against his favorite student?
So, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
But precisely because of this, he admired Ridley Scott even more.
Cunning and ruthless...how could someone like that stay with Dumbledore forever?
Just wait, he'll fall out with Dumbledore sooner or later!
Therefore, Grindelwald wasn't in a hurry at all; in fact, he felt a sliver of anticipation... let the curse fly for a while!
Compared to Grindelwald's complex emotions, Dumbledore was clearly much happier.
"Go to the Forbidden Forest Medicine Troll?
You two..." Dumbledore was somewhat amused and exasperated.
These two brats... even Gryffindor students wouldn't have thought of something as outrageous as going to the Forbidden Forest Medicine Troll.
The worst part was that Horace had actually agreed... and even provided these two first-year brats with the drug formula...
But... thankfully, otherwise, Tom might really be in grave danger tonight.
"You two little devils are really... well, go wait over there, I'll deal with you later."
Dumbledore said, looking at Grindelwald again.
His previously gentle gaze immediately turned icy again.
Grindelwald said, "What, do you want to kill me now, Dumbledore?"
"I won't kill you.
You should be judged before the world and then bear the punishment you deserve..." Dumbledore said coldly.
"Ha! Trial?
The punishment you deserve?
Dumbledore, you'll never learn!" Grindelwald sneered in return.
"Unless you kill me now, what prison in this world do you think can hold me?"
"Stop it. It's proven that everything we imagined before is impossible... Do you want to see a world shattered?"
"We don't need to argue about this anymore, Dumbledore... Come on, let me see if you've improved at all over the years!"
Grindelwald finished speaking and unleashed a green light!
Dumbledore's movements were equally swift, a red light shooting from his wand.
Then the two spells collided violently, just like the day seven or eight years ago when the Blood Pact was shattered...
Seeing the two powerful wizards engaged in a "welding contest," Livid quickly pulled up the limp Tom and ran to hide under the large pillar where Annie was.
Annie was completely stunned.
Tom's resurrection and the epic battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald had both profoundly impacted her.
"Help him up," Li Wade's voice came from beside her, startling Annie from her dazed state.
She quickly helped Tom to sit down against a pillar.
"This...is it really not poison?"
Annie couldn't help but ask.
Pale-faced Tom gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"No, it really is a sleeping potion. We were really planning to drug the troll."
Li Wade nodded in satisfaction that Tom hadn't given himself away, then took a bottle from his pocket and handed it to Tom.
"The 'sleeping potion' hasn't completely worn off yet.
Drink this, and you'll be fine."
Tom blankly took the bottle, then his eyes widened in shock.
His poison hadn't completely worn off?
Did that mean that if he didn't drink this potion, he would still die?
Tom had only given the potion to Li Weide after his answer satisfied him…
So… Li Weide's threat to make him heroically sacrifice himself if he dared to speak out of turn wasn't a lie!
Ruthless! And petty!
This bastard is terrifying!
Thinking of this, Tom didn't dare to hesitate, quickly opened the bottle, and drank it down without even looking at it.
"Ugh!
This potion of yours... it smells like a stinky shoe insole!"
Li Wade said, leaning against a pillar watching the battle unfold.
"Be content!
This is my improved antidote.
The one I smeared under your nose earlier was the original! Did you like that smell?"
Tom fell silent, remembering the smell of that ointment... a stinky shoe insole is fine, it's better than drinking some kind of concoction!
"Ugh..."
"Boom!"
At this moment, the battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald had reached its climax!
They had long since moved beyond the initial "welding" and "wave-clashing" phase.
Various spells, some Li Wade could understand and some he couldn't, were flying everywhere.
Moreover, besides casting spells, they were also using Transfiguration to fight...
Dumbledore's earth giant, created from ruins, was wrestling with a giant earth dragon created by Grindelwald.
The battle was so fierce it shook the earth, billowing dust...
In the end, even Li Wade could barely see clearly, silently leading Tom and Annie, who had just regained their mobility, away once more...
"Bang!"
Grindelwald forcefully deflected one of Dumbledore's spells, then roared and swung his Elder Wand at his earth dragon.
The earth dragon then bit off the head of the earth giant!
However, this was a transfiguration creation, not a living being.
Therefore, even with its head bitten off, the giant's fighting power remained undiminished, retaliating with a punch that slammed into the earth dragon's head, breaking off its horns...
"Whoosh!"
Grindelwald's wand danced again, the eerie blue flames instantly transforming into a giant bat that charged towards the two transfiguration creations in the arena, and towards Dumbledore behind them!
Dumbledore, equally expressionless, waved his wand, unleashing a sky full of orange-red flames!
The orange-red flames transformed into the form of a phoenix, colliding violently with the ghostly blue fire bats!
The two creations of the transformation spell were instantly engulfed by the flames… and moments later, not even ashes remained!
The intense heat made the three of them, including Li Wade, who were hiding far away, feel extremely uncomfortable…
Tom's shoes even began to melt!
Li Wade cast a freezing spell around the three of them, then walked another hundred meters away to prevent them from fainting from the heat!
However, because they were heading deeper into the chamber, they had now arrived before the enormous metal sphere.
A flicker of desire flashed in Annie's eyes, but she knew she couldn't succeed under Dumbledore and Li Wade's watchful eyes.
Besides, Grindelwald was still there!
So, she quickly lowered her head, unable to bear looking at the magical power.
Li Wade and Tom, knowing the side effects of this power, showed no sign of being tempted.
This surprised Annie.
She was certain the two had already absorbed this magic… she had experienced it herself, and it was, to put it mildly, wonderful!
Why don't these two seem interested at all?
Annie turned her gaze from the magical metal sphere to the unconscious Vita not far away…
The situation was extremely critical.
If Grindelwald won, everything would be fine, but if he lost…even if Grindelwald managed to escape, her aunt and the sorcerers would be arrested!
Annie was extremely anxious. What could she do to help her aunt escape?
While Annie was anxious, Grindelwald was also becoming increasingly agitated.
After facing Dumbledore head-on, he realized that Dumbledore's strength was even more terrifying than it had been eight or nine years ago!
Unbeknownst to him, Dumbledore's power had surged after Livid resolved his inner conflict…
Originally, Grindelwald had estimated that Dumbledore's magical strength was roughly equal to his own, and the final decision would likely hinge on magical skill…
But now… things were completely unexpected…
Even wielding the Elder Wand, he felt utterly powerless against Dumbledore's attacks!
What had Dumbledore done?
Why had his power suddenly become so terrifying?
This baffled Grindelwald.
"Gellert, you have no chance of winning. Put down your wand and surrender," Dumbledore said calmly.
What Grindelwald sensed, Dumbledore naturally sensed as well.
That's why he intended to persuade him to surrender, and even called Grindelwald by his name…
"No… impossible! I can't possibly lose!" Grindelwald struggled to control his firebats, veins bulging on his neck and forehead…
"I don't want to hurt you.
Lay down your weapon and accept the judgment of the world…" Dumbledore said calmly.
"Shut up! No one in this world can judge me!"
Grindelwald's Elder Wand trembled violently again, and the eerie blue flames surged!
