Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

But it is far more than just this powerful counter-spell known as Fiery Nemesis; it is better to say that it is just the beginning.

The blazing Rune Fire was like turning over its own cards, transforming destruction into vitality in just a moment.

In the exploding flames, the boiling magic power was like a huge wave, pouring indiscriminately into every inch of space.

Grindelwald, still in fear, stared ahead. The sense of crisis in his heart not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.

Dumbledore in the distance simply raised his wand and silently cast a powerful protective spell, protecting himself and Rosier and Euphemia not far away.

In the brief silence after the roar, the new buds breaking through the soil grow and become stronger silently, and the magical power in the sky is the nourishment for its growth.

With each breath, a thriving yew tree rose from the ground. It was several times more solid than the world tree that grew out of thin air. If one had not seen it with one's own eyes, no one would have thought it was just an illusion.

Its growth was so rapid that the fire dragon that was just showing off its might quickly became dwarfed by it, like a snake coiled around the tree.

And this is far from the end.

Just as Grindelwald tried to retreat, a cold vertical pupil appeared out of nowhere and was imprinted on the fire dragon.

The power from ancient mythology suppressed the invincible evil fire in an instant and clamped it firmly in place.

"Varied……!"

The enormous power made Grindelwald's eyes widen. He saw the parchment burning to ashes and felt an unprecedented threat.

Without the slightest hesitation, the magic wand fell heavily like a slashing samurai sword, and the runaway magic power split Lihuo in two. With the decisiveness of sacrificing the rook to save the king, he broke free from the restraints and retreated violently.

At this moment, the World Tree, which had grown to its extreme size, stretched out its branches and firmly connected to the remains of the fire dragon.

There was no burning, no explosion, and even less destruction. The invincible fire that could burn everything encountered its natural enemy.

Faced with the devouring of the world and the destruction of the ancient sun god, Li Huo could only die like a lamb to be slaughtered. Even the ability to struggle was gone. It was swallowed up in an instant and turned into a cluster of small flames, dotted on the lush branches of the yew tree.

"It's a pity that my rune magic hasn't reached its strongest form yet, otherwise you would never have been able to escape. You're lucky this time."

Looking at the stunned Grindelwald, Lynn, who had turned the situation around in an instant, did not show any joy, but was serious, with even a hint of regret in his eyes.

He spoke from his heart.

Compared to his improved Transfiguration skills, he felt quite regretful that he failed to take the most crucial step of Rune magic before the duel that had been prepared for a long time. This also allowed Grindelwald to seize the hidden glimmer of hope.

But in Grindelwald's eyes, these words had a completely different meaning.

"whispering sound……"

Feeling the great irony, his expression was grim, but surprisingly he did not retort. Instead, he retreated again, and under the cover of the fire dragon that had lost most of its fire, he looked at the towering tree that was still growing from afar.

The power was enough to devour the fierce fire and feed it back to itself. This was a scene he had never seen in all his years of traveling around the world.

"Rune magic... So this is the principle. No wonder you regard it as your biggest trump card."

Bathed in the majesty of the World Tree, his expression became unprecedentedly solemn.

His own trump card encountered a nemesis that suppressed him from all sides. This made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy and even sensed an ominous sign.

perhaps……

His eyes drifted to Dumbledore in the distance, then he shook his head vigorously and raised his wand again.

He will not lose again, no matter who the opponent is or why.

The awe-inspiring aura is like a sword unsheathed, and the old body bursts out with a sharpness and edge that makes even young people ashamed.

"I see what the problem is, Avada Kedavra!"

A cold green light broke through the air and hit the majestic World Tree directly.

Chapter 394 Close combat

"Click——"

Under the exploding green light, a crack appeared on the rock-solid tree trunk, and then began to repair itself very slowly.

Faced with the Killing Curse, which was not as powerful as Voldemort's but almost at the pinnacle of dark magic, the strongest defense that regarded Fiendfyre as nothing also began to tremble violently.

"it is as expected."

There was no smile on his stern face. As the most experienced dark wizard, even though he had been idle for decades, Grindelwald's knowledge of dark magic was still at the top of the pyramid.

The failure of the fierce fire did not make him lose his composure. On the contrary, under the pressure, he quickly found a way to deal with it.

The absolute defense between material and spiritual, the only shortcoming is the destruction at the rule level.

The Killing Curse is such magic.

However, its effect cannot be called significant, and is even far below the worst expectations.

——Decades of self-imprisonment and exile have made his killing intent far less than it used to be. He can only use magic to replace it, but the barrier standing on the opposite side is more resilient than he could have imagined.

In response, Lynn showed no surprise on his face.

As the controller of Purple Rune, he knows the limits and weaknesses of this magic better than anyone else.

As the most powerful and difficult magic in his hands, to this day, it is still stuck not far from a breakthrough. Even with the support of qualitatively changed magic, it is still lacking a little.

[Absolute Defense] still has flaws and there is still a possibility of being damaged or even destroyed, just like now.

At least before it completes a qualitative change and drives the entire rune magic system to the limit under the rules, it still cannot completely block the so-called indestructible killing curse.

But in a situation like this, even the slightest difference can make the difference between victory and defeat, not to mention the World Tree that can directly withstand more than one attack.

Grindelwald did not have the opportunity to slowly break down this defensive barrier, and Lynn was not a motionless target.

The battle situation changes rapidly, and victory lies in it.

"That's it, old man!"

Faced with Grindelwald in a dilemma, Lynn launched attacks without stopping, casting spells as dense as rain, showing his superior magic power to the fullest.

Under the protection of the World Tree, he was free from worries and could only attack without defending. He was like a walking artillery, bombarding indiscriminately.

Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and flames shot up into the sky.

The hard rock ground and dry yellow soil were blown to pieces one after another. In the smoke, red beams like lasers swept across the entire battlefield.

This was a powerful firepower that even Dumbledore, holding the Elder Wand, had to temporarily avoid. It was not an initial test, but a continuous offensive in which every detail had been refined to perfection.

The seventh-level magic that was kept in reserve was the Stunning Spell and Disarming Spell whose power and consumption had both reached their limits.

In stark contrast to the evenly matched opening stage, Grindelwald was now completely unable to fend off the attack head-on and could only move the blue and white fire dragon guarding his side to his front to offer some resistance.

But this is by no means a long-term solution, and sparks fly in a flash.

The spell formed an impenetrable net that completely enveloped Grindelwald's figure. In a short moment, even Fiendfyre seemed to be overwhelmed and collapsed.

-----------------

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and the air was filled with smoke.

Standing far away in a safe area, Rozier's eyes wandered back and forth on the battlefield, completely losing his usual calmness and composure, and even his top hat fell to the ground.

Having followed Grindelwald for many years, she has an unparalleled in-depth understanding of the leader she believes in and admires, and can better see his current decadence and passivity.

She was familiar with every magical skill Grindelwald possessed and was fully aware of the desperate predicament they were in.

This master of black magic who created countless legends certainly has a wealth of methods, but only a few of his final trump cards can be used in this duel.

As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. The continuous setbacks have made him, who has been away from the battlefield for a long time, lose the initiative and fall into a disadvantage in momentum.

In a decisive battle of this level, one wrong step would mean a gradual accumulation of disadvantages, ultimately leading to an irreparable disadvantage.

This made the loyal witch even more anxious, in stark contrast to Euphemia, whose eyes were filled with pride, and completely different from Dumbledore, who was holding the Elder Wand thoughtfully.

As bystanders, they can sometimes feel the changes in the situation better than the warring parties on the battlefield.

This is why Lynn calls this duel Dumbledore's only chance to "really understand him."

He didn't break his promises, and he didn't hide anything.

This is a respect for Grindelwald and a silent declaration to Dumbledore.

This is not only a handover between the old and the new with Grindelwald, but also a challenge to the top three structure that has lasted for more than 20 years.

Dumbledore clearly felt the meaning of what Lynn expressed through magic, and as a result, he had many thoughts and emotions that he could not tell others.

This was the first time he had understood in such detail the magic that Lin En mastered, the magic and gorgeous magical creations that had once shocked him.

Comprehensive and impeccable.

He even vaguely felt that even Grindelwald might not be able to force out all of Lynn's methods and strength.

There was no reason for it, but he just had this intuition.

The magic wand that conquered death became very restless, as if it was eager to try, but also as if it was full of some kind of hope.

But today, this stage is destined not to belong to it.

The duel arena that is like purgatory belongs only to the two people who are fighting with all their might under the light of the World Tree.

-----------------

There was no more restraint, nor any temptation or planning to retreat at the first sign of trouble. The two men, who knew each other's level well, fought fiercely, and every move was a powerful attack aimed at the vital points.

Lynn, hidden in the purple robe, moved his arms and legs vigorously, and instead of the calmness that was inherited from Hufflepuff in the past, he showed some of the ferocity and arrogance of Slytherin.

The powerful red beam was like a sledgehammer swung with great force, repeatedly striking Grindelwald's increasingly stretched defenses, as if it were tempering him.

The principle that force can defeat skill is aptly reflected in Lin En at this moment.

This made Grindelwald feel the depression and powerlessness he had felt half a century ago for the first time in a long time.

Back then, Dumbledore relied on his powerful magic to crush him, suppressing him who was holding the Elder Wand, and destroying all powerful magics including Fiendfyre head-on, thus winning that unprecedented battle.

Today, younger but more aggressive challengers are using similar tactics, bringing an even greater sense of oppression.

In the sky, a thick white cloud was approaching from afar, and it was about to block the sun that was getting closer and closer to the top of the head.

Just as it blocked the first ray of sunlight and brought the long-lost shadow, more than a dozen laser-like beams broke through the air.

"Don't think about it!"

The tremendous pressure forced Grindelwald to retreat and put all his strength into erecting a barrier to resist.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lynn gave up the relentless pursuit and instead gently raised his wand and pointed it toward the sky.

The next moment, the air became stagnant, and the fragile space suddenly became chaotic and solidified.

An invisible barrier looms around the battlefield.

Anti-Apparition spell.

Grindelwald immediately felt the spell that had been with him day and night, but before he could react, he saw a shining rune symbol rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes.

【Moving Rune Redo】

The memory had just emerged in my mind when Lin En's figure appeared just a few feet away.

The decisive battle under the shadow came without warning.

This time, it was a Gryffindor-style fight.

In other words, it's a Dumbledore-style fight.

"Isa!"

Amid the passionate and high-pitched shouts, a bone-chilling chill spread across the desolate and hot battlefield.

Chapter 395 The Legendary Baton

"boom---"

The crystal clear ice cones rose from the ground with a chilling coldness and harshness, turning into irresistible spears that pierced the wizard's fragile body.

Under the perfect control, not an inch of space is wasted and every vital point is taken into account precisely.

In an instant, danger arose.

The imminent attack and the anti-Apparition spell hovering overhead left Grindelwald with no escape.

In desperation, he summoned the fierce fire again, but it was easily suppressed by the purple-robed shadow. It only had time to melt the ice before it was completely swallowed up and turned into nutrients for the repair of the World Tree.
