Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Grindelwald drew his wand and strode forward with steady steps.

In the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid rode his three-headed dog, his dark eyes scanning his surroundings. The animals in the Forbidden Forest were restless once again, which made him uneasy.

"Tsk! How did this big oaf get in here?" At the top of a tree, a dark wizard looked at Hagrid and grinned.

He had heard of the Keeper of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, but this was the first time he had seen him in person, since he was not a native wizard but came from abroad.

Sniff sniff sniff sniff

The three-headed dog sniffed, taking in the scent.

As a three-headed dog living in the Forbidden Forest, it is very familiar with the scents of the Forbidden Forest, and it can naturally distinguish any unfamiliar scents that suddenly appear.

"Woo~"

Upon smelling the unfamiliar scent, the three-headed dog stopped, looked up at a tree, and let out a threatening growl.

Seeing the three-headed dog's reaction, Hagrid immediately understood what was going on. He looked up at a tree and easily spotted a person crouching on a branch.

He raised his crossbow and fired a single arrow.

"Swoosh!" The black wizard, seemingly surprised to be discovered so quickly, let out a strange cry upon seeing the incoming arrow, leaned backward, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

Although there are new dangers, this also allows us to get rid of the previous one.

"Transform quickly!"

The grass turned into a balloon, and someone fell on it and bounced up, falling to one side.

At the same time, the three-headed dog rushed over and opened its mouth to bite.

"F*** you!" the dark wizard cursed, waving his wand and casting an Ironclad Charm in the path of the three-headed dog, temporarily blocking its advance.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Starting with an Unforgivable Curse is a basic skill of dark wizards.

"Lowe, get out of the way!"

Upon hearing Hagrid's command, Fluffy obeyed, leaping aside to swiftly dodge the Unforgivable Curse.

At the same time, Hagrid raised his hands, one hand holding a crossbow, the other a magic wand.

Having regained the right to wield his wand, Hagrid was able to cast spells openly, but unfortunately, having not graduated successfully, he had very few spells to his name.

"Fainting, fainting, fainting..."

He was casting spells and shooting arrows at the same time.

Because the arrows needed to be reloaded, Hagrid threw out even more spells.

With the help of the three-headed dog, the dark wizard did not gain the upper hand, but was at a disadvantage, constantly defending and dodging.

Grindelwald, who had arrived near the battle at some unknown time, did not rashly intervene, but instead remained hidden and observed from the sidelines.

He would help Hagrid if he were in danger; now he would show him just how much was hidden in the Forbidden Forest.

He didn't think a mediocre dark wizard would pose any threat to him.

The fight between the two will surely attract even more people...

Therefore, he only needs to stay here to find out the reason.

Chapter 419 Farce

The battle between Hagrid and the dark wizards did not attract the Aurors outside the Forbidden Forest, but rather the other dark wizards within the Forbidden Forest.

One dark wizard after another arrived from other parts of the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid was already in trouble from the moment the second dark wizard arrived.

Hagrid fled in disarray under the combined attack of two men, using the dense trees for defense. As more dark wizards arrived, Hagrid's situation became increasingly dangerous.

"Don't let him leave the Forbidden Forest!"

As a group of dark wizards surrounded Hagrid and were about to strike him down with their wands, pale flames suddenly appeared, separating Hagrid from the other dark wizards. Everyone was startled and had no time to react.

Lightning descended from the sky, unleashing a devastating attack that indiscriminately struck friend and foe. The dark wizard screamed as he was struck by the lightning, instantly becoming severely injured. Hagrid also cried out in pain, but showed no obvious signs of injury; the half-giant's magic resistance was very high.

Grindelwald withdrew his gaze. He now understood why Dumbledore had appointed Hagrid as the guardian of the Forbidden Forest; such strong magical resistance was enough to ignore the attacks of many magical creatures.

“Mr. Grindelwald!” Even after being struck by lightning, Hagrid still had time to observe his surroundings.

Grindelwald waved his wand, knocking the dark wizards unconscious one by one, and said, "Take them outside the Forbidden Forest and go to Dumbledore to explain this. I will search the Forbidden Forest to see if there are any other dark wizards."

With that, Greenwald left the area and ventured deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

Meanwhile, the three-headed dog, carrying several people, moved out of the Forbidden Forest at Hagrid's call, heading towards the Quidditch pitch to find Dumbledore.

Voldemort was unaware that several dark wizards had been captured, but preparations for the plan were complete. Lured by the potion and driven by the dark wizards, the magical creatures became restless, and the demi-human races living in the Forbidden Forest fled out of the forest.

"Roar----"

Dozens, even hundreds, of giant eight-eyed spiders scurried through the Forbidden Forest, the hissing of snakes echoed above the forest, and the cries of the pheasant were shrill...

"Tsk! Things are getting complicated."

With that, Grindelwald ran away without hesitation. Even the Dark Lord would be terrified by such a large number of magical creatures and would not be able to deal with them all at once. Being hit by one would at least result in serious injury.

He apparated repeatedly until he arrived near the Quidditch stadium. He intended to enter the stadium directly, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

To be honest, it hurts a lot to bump into the barrier.

Rubbing his forehead, Greenwald found the entrance and headed to the stands.

When he arrived at Dumbledore's location, Hagrid was already recounting what had happened. The professors beside him looked serious. How dare they cause trouble during the Tournament!

It's important to know that the professors leading the teams from each school are extremely capable, far surpassing ordinary wizards.

"What exactly happened?" Dumbledore asked when he saw Grindelwald return.

"This is a serious problem. The magical creatures of the Forbidden Forest have rioted!"

Grindelwald looked serious, while Dumbledore looked relaxed.

"No problem. The issue of the magical creature riot is something the two of us can handle. Haven't you discovered anything else?"

"No, the rioting magical creatures have directly cut off my possibility of continuing to explore the Forbidden Forest, but I suspect... the rioting of magical creatures is because someone is secretly causing trouble."

"Is anyone there..." Dumbledore seemed to be deep in thought.

If anyone had a reason to cause trouble at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the first person Dumbledore thought of was Voldemort.

"Gattler, organize a team to head towards the Forbidden Forest and assess the size of the beast tide. I'll go talk to Fang Rui about this."

With that, Dumbledore left the area, and Grindelwald led the others outside the Quidditch pitch, where he used a spell to summon flying broomsticks. The group then rode the broomsticks into the Forbidden Forest.

By this time, the centaurs had escaped the Forbidden Forest and were heading towards Hogwarts Castle.

Professor McGonagall flew over and inquired about the Forbidden Forest, asking, "What's the situation inside the Forbidden Forest?"

"There's a dark wizard causing trouble in the Forbidden Forest, and the magical creatures are rioting; they're about to burst out."

One centaur was furious, and some centaurs even looked at Professor McGonagall with hatred. In the eyes of some centaurs, dark wizards and ordinary wizards were both human, and humans had caused them to lose their homes, so it was reasonable for them to hate Professor McGonagall...

Professor McGonagall could actually guess what some of the centaurs were thinking, but she didn't care.

After all, I've seen this many times; it's not the first time, so there's nothing to be surprised about.

Having obtained the information she wanted, Professor McGonagall returned to the group, shared it with the others, and used Transfiguration to create a wall to protect the buildings near the Black Lake and restrict the direction in which the magical creatures charged.

"What method should we use?" Professor McGonagall asked for opinions.

"Just burn it with Fiery Blaze." In some schools, black magic can be studied openly.

“That’s one way, but magical creatures are very valuable, and burning them with Fiendfire would be too wasteful,” one alchemist said.

Many people who knew alchemy and medicine nodded in agreement.

"Protecting the students is a priority, and using Fierce Fire is perfectly acceptable." Professor McGonagall seemed to have no problem with it.

"The problem lies with the dark wizards hiding in the shadows."

“Yes, I know.” The others nodded slightly in agreement with Professor McGonagall.

"But before that, let's stop the beast tide!"

Many professors had strange expressions when they saw the magical creatures rushing out of the Forbidden Forest. The only places where a beast tide could occur were probably Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Newt's pet carrier!

The walls constructed by the Transfiguration spell caused many magical creatures to be intercepted, and the remaining magical creatures bypassed the obstacles and charged towards the professors.

Seeing this, the professors remained very calm, waving their wands and knocking the magical creatures unconscious one by one.

That's right, it was knocking them unconscious, not killing them.

After all, magical creatures are valuable, so don't kill them indiscriminately if it's not necessary.

"Tsk! There are quite a lot of people."

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort and his men, who were hiding there, frowned slightly as they watched McGonagall and his companions intercepting the beast tide.

Even Dumbledore didn't manage to lure them out; the beast tide was already stopped by the others. What... useless beasts.

Thinking this, Voldemort ordered, "Sneak attack those people, open the defensive line, and let these beasts in."

"Yes!" The dark wizards answered without any objection, then rode their flying brooms and charged toward the Quidditch pitch.

"The enemy is here!" A professor who had not participated in stopping the beast tide but had been observing his surroundings noticed the enemy the moment they appeared and immediately alerted his companions.

"There are quite a lot of people."

Our side has about twenty professors, while there are more than thirty dark wizards, plus hundreds of magical creatures.

"We alone cannot stop it."

Grindelwald didn't say anything. If he could kill all the magical creatures, he could stop them all. Unfortunately, these magical creatures were very valuable and couldn't be killed casually.

Destroying the ecosystem of the forbidden forest would be a very troublesome matter.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the stands.

Some of the people who were originally watching the match were now watching an even more exciting wizard duel.

"Should we go help?" Kuzan asked.

“Although I want to say that they didn’t ask for help, as a Marine, those kinds of words… shouldn’t have come out of my mouth,” Borsalino said.

"So...you mean you want to help?" Kuzan raised an eyebrow slightly.
