"Save me, who sent you to save me?"
Mr. Grindelwald looked Li Chuan up and down. At this time, Li Chuan's transformed appearance was that of a very handsome and young Englishman.
"No one, I just also dislike the Statute of Secrecy and think you shouldn't be locked up here!"
Li Chuan reached out and picked up an Aurors' hat, slowly moving it towards Mr. Grindelwald.
"Sizzle!"
A circle of runes lit up around Mr. Grindelwald on the ground, a hemispherical red shield instantly appeared, and half of the hat was directly burned into air.
It was clear that to prevent Mr. Grindelwald from escaping, the witches of the Magical Congress of the United States of America had also set up very powerful protective runes around him.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Looking at the flickering runes on the ground, Li Chuan paused slightly. With his level of magic, he couldn't break such profound runes for the time being.
"I can only use a clumsy method."
He quickly formed hand seals with both hands, then pressed down on the ground.
"Earth Release: Mud Method!"
He wasn't very good at breaking runes, but he could directly destroy the entire ground, indirectly causing the runes to fail.
Under the effect of the D-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu, the ground of the entire cell actually turned into a patch of mud, and the runes also disappeared due to the change in the ground.
"Gesture casting, the speed can actually be this fast."
Grindelwald looked at Li Chuan casting magic similar to a Deformation Curse through gestures, a look of interest appearing on his face.
Not all witches in the entire World cast magic through wands. Witches from places like Africa cast wandlessly and nonverbally, releasing magic through gestures.
However, the speed and power of gesture casting are far inferior to wand casting.
So, apart from Africa, other places still use more efficient wands for casting.
The witch named Li Chuan just now didn't use a wand but cast magic through strange gestures, and the casting speed was actually faster than that of ordinary witches using wands.
"I originally wanted to stay for a few more days, but since someone came to save me, I might as well leave early!"
Seeing that Li Chuan had dealt with the Aurors outside and removed the circle of protective runes, Grindelwald stood up. Blue flames suddenly ignited at his wrists and ankles, instantly burning the special magical handcuffs and leg irons into ash.
Fiendfyre, as expected, he didn't use his full strength that day.
Seeing Grindelwald casting Fiendfyre wandlessly and nonverbally, Li Chuan's pupils also shrank.
That day, he felt that Grindelwald didn't use his full strength and was intentionally captured by them, because many powerful curses and area-of-effect curses were not cast.
"It seems that even if I didn't come, Mr. Grindelwald could leave by himself. I was being redundant."
"No, leaving here would actually still be a bit troublesome, so I still have to thank you. Are you interested in joining me and standing under the light with me?"
Grindelwald shook his head, then extended an invitation to Li Chuan.
As expected of you!
Li Chuan paused for a moment without immediately agreeing, then smiled and said:
"Let's escape from here first, I think they'll quickly realize something is wrong outside."
Possessing strength, charisma, and being so eager for talent, it's no wonder Grindelwald almost overturned the entire wizarding World.
Looking at the Magical Congress of the United States of America side, because Tina had used magic in front of Muggles before, they transferred this rare expert to a clerical position.
"That makes sense, we should find a nice place to sit down and have a good talk."
Grindelwald extended his hand, and an Aurors' wand fell into his hand.
"Alarm, alarm, Grindelwald has escaped! Grindelwald has escaped!"
Just as Li Chuan kicked open the door to Grindelwald's cell, a piercing alarm instantly sounded throughout the MACUSA building.
In the Chairman's office, Seraphina Picquery was discussing with several MACUSA senators whether or not to agree to the International Confederation of Wizards' representatives' proposal to take Grindelwald away.
Upon hearing the alarm that Grindelwald had escaped, she swore angrily on the spot.
Yesterday's events were already absurd enough, and she didn't expect to have to go through it again today. If Grindelwald successfully escaped, the Magical Congress of the United States of America would not be able to hold its head up in the International Confederation of Wizards for a long time.
And her position as Chairman would also be at an end.
"Quick, all Aurors, all witches of the MACUSA, everyone who is alive, gather at the entrance of the prison on the fiftieth basement level! You must not let Grindelwald escape!"
Picquery's voice, amplified dozens of times by a Sonorus Charm, echoed throughout the entire Magical Congress of the United States of America building.
So when Li Chuan and Grindelwald walked out of the prison, they were faced with Picquery and more than two hundred MACUSA witches with wands behind her.
Li Chuan also saw Tina, the newly appointed Head of the Aurors Office, among them.
"Mr. Grindelwald, please immediately put down your wand and return to your cell with your accomplice, otherwise we will kill you directly this time!"
Picquery knew Grindelwald's strength, so she made an exception and issued an order: all staff of the MACUSA who knew the Killing Curse could use it to attack Grindelwald, and those who didn't should use the strongest Dark magic they knew.
She would bear all consequences.
This was the Magical Congress of the United States of America building, where Apparition was impossible. With hundreds of Killing Curses, even Grindelwald would absolutely be unable to resist.
However, while Picquery had all her attention on Grindelwald, Li Chuan suddenly jumped into the air and quickly completed all the seals required for an A-rank Ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
A massive volume of water erupted from his mouth, rushing like a waterfall down the corridor towards Picquery and all the witches gathered behind her.
The Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique's attack power wasn't strong, but its attack range was absolutely one of the best among all Ninjutsu.
Facing the large volume of water suddenly descending from above, the witches of the Magical Congress of the United States of America also displayed their varied magical abilities.
Many clerical witches who were brought in to make up the numbers and were rusty in combat barely had time to react before being swept away by the water, howling.
And those slightly better witches, although they also released magical defenses in time, unfortunately, perhaps didn't practice the Shield Charm often. Their weak shields were instantly shattered by the water flow, and they were swept away right after the first group.
Only first-line Aurors like Tina and high-ranking officials like Picquery who once had good magical strength, as well as a few other staff members who didn't like combat but weren't weak in strength, truly released powerful enough Shield Charms to block the impact of the water flow.
"Goodbye everyone!"
After releasing the Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, Li Chuan pulled out a magic carpet from his small pouch that he had bought in advance on the magical street in the United States. He waved at Picquery and flew towards the hall above with Grindelwald on the magic carpet.
By the time Picquery and the others recovered from the impact of the great waterfall and rushed towards the magical elevator, Li Chuan and Grindelwald had already rushed out of the Magical Congress of the United States of America building and disappeared with an Apparition.
