Chapter 197 Grindelwald's Gathering (Second Update)

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, the Aurors were immediately startled and prepared to Apparate away again.

However, at that moment, a huge sound suddenly came from high above.

"Dumbledore, that's enough for today. I admit I can't kill you, but you can't hurt me either. There's no point in continuing. I'm leaving now!"

Li Chuan circled his body around the ten rings, left a message with a loudspeaker spell, and then quickly flew away.

The ten rings can not only defend against attacks, but also carry the host through the air, although the flight speed is very average, not even as fast as the host running below.

But it's still pretty good for showing off these days.

Actually, the basic goal has been achieved now, and leaving is the best option, because if they don't leave now, it will be harder to fight them. His chakra is almost depleted, while Dumbledore's magic is limitless.

He couldn't possibly fight Dumbledore with magic; that would be like showing off his limited skills before an expert.

Seeing Li Chuan fly away, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know that Li Chuan used chakra and ninjutsu, and thought that he used magic like him.

A wizard's magic has no limit; it can be transformed infinitely. The only limitations are the amount and efficiency of the transformation, as well as the wizard's mastery of magic.

To be honest, if Li Chuan really was using magic, then he wouldn't need to worry about magic power at all. He could just keep creating clones and bombarding everyone, which would be truly terrifying.

If Li Chuan is ruthless enough to attack Hogwarts Castle and force him to show himself, the outcome will be hard to predict.

"I didn't expect Grindelwald to have such powerful wizards under his command now. This is troublesome!"

Grindelwald alone has already turned the world upside down, and with the addition of a mysterious figure whose strength is almost on par with his, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

"Hopefully Tom and Newt can play a role."

He now regrets it a bit. He should have taught Tom more powerful magic. Tom is indeed quite strong and has a very powerful guardian spirit, but he is still far inferior to the mysterious man today.

Meanwhile, after flying a distance away, Li Chuan found a secluded spot and used the key to return to Paris, France.

The mysterious Li Chuan, whose true identity is hidden, has temporarily disappeared, while Tom Foley, whose true identity is revealed, has reappeared.

Instead of going to find Newt and the others, he first went somewhere to recover his almost depleted chakra.

After his battle with Dumbledore during the day, he also needed to prepare for his fight with Grindelwald that night. Grindelwald's dark magic was deadly and even more dangerous than Dumbledore's.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the entire city of Paris was shrouded in a large black cloth formed by magic, and all the wizards who touched the cloth could feel Grindelwald's call to them.

At 8 p.m., at Père Lachaise Cemetery, pure-blood wizards from all over the world apparated and arrived.

They gathered there, excitedly discussing Grindelwald and some of the exciting news they had just heard.

"Did you know? I heard that the Mystic had a wizarding duel with Dumbledore in Hogsmeade this afternoon."

"What? Is this true? That mysterious person isn't in danger anymore!"

"It was played on the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts, and it's said to have ended in a draw. I just received a letter from my son sent by owl."

"Merlin's beard, the Mystic actually managed to fight Dumbledore to a draw. It seems the Ministry of Magic is finished. Now let's see who can stop us from eliminating those filthy Muggles."

"I heard that the Ministry of Magic had Aurors helping them, and in the end, they didn't manage to take down Mysterio. I think Mysterio's strength is already about the same as Grindelwald's."

The Aurors from various countries' Ministries of Magic, hidden among these thousands of wizards, widened their eyes upon hearing these discussions.

Especially Newt and Theseus, those Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic, knew how powerful Dumbledore was, but they never expected that the Mystic could fight Dumbledore to a draw and leave unscathed.

"Listen carefully, once Grindelwald and the others arrive, activate the Anti-Apparition Charm. We absolutely cannot let Grindelwald and the others escape. This time, we must eliminate these menaces in one fell swoop!"

Theseus, the person in charge this time, secretly gave instructions to the Aurors.

Although his superiors had been suppressing Dumbledore, it was undeniable that Dumbledore was widely recognized as the only wizard who could rival Grindelwald.

Now that Dumbledore has been attacked by Grindelwald's henchman, Mystic, and has calmly left afterward, this will greatly embolden Grindelwald and cause more wizards to side with him.

Only through this joint operation, capturing Grindelwald and his accomplices in one fell swoop, can they make everyone realize the power of the Ministry of Magic and bring them to their senses.

Just then, a thunderous applause suddenly rang out, as Grindelwald arrived with his followers.

"Activate the Anti-Apparition Charm! Heed my command and prepare for action!"

Upon seeing Grindelwald appear, Theseus slowly drew his wand.

Just as he was about to give the signal, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Don't move, it's a trap!"

Li Chuan lifted his hood.

"Tom!"

Newt, Tina, and Theseus were overjoyed to see that it was Li Chuan.

Li Chuan explained with a solemn expression:

"Some of the Aurors in this operation are Grindelwald's followers. He already knows that you have set up an Apparition Charm here, and he has just sent people to sabotage it."

If you attack and capture him now, he can incite all the wizards here to attack you and stir up their hatred towards you.

"How could this happen!"

Theseus's expression changed upon hearing this.

There are several thousand wizards here. If they were to launch an attack, even if the Aurors were all quite strong, they certainly wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Moreover, they couldn't easily retaliate, because not all those who came to the gathering were Grindelwald's followers; many were just there to watch the spectacle, and accidentally injuring them would cause a lot of trouble.

"So what do we do now?"

Newt and Tina frowned as well.

Li Chuan replied in a low voice:

"Wait until the gathering is over, and everyone has left, leaving only Grindelwald and his followers before making your move."

Theseus thought for a moment and nodded helplessly.

"It seems this is the only way."

And so, Li Chuan, Newt, and the others all stood at the very back of the gathering, surrounding the entire venue, quietly waiting for Grindelwald's grand gathering to end.

Grindelwald's speech was highly inflammatory. He used his prophetic abilities to show the wizards the World War II that Muggles would launch more than a decade later, as well as the powerful tanks, airplanes, missiles, and nuclear bombs that Muggles would invent.

They successfully brainwashed all the ordinary wizards present, and even some of the Aurors.
