"Who exactly are you? Why do you use such forbidden magic?" Seth was extremely shocked at this moment; he knew very well that in Europe, everything related to Grindelwald was taboo, especially at Durmstrang, Grindelwald's alma mater.
"The dead don't need to know that!" Thunderbird's pale blue Fire Blade pointed diagonally at the ground. "Since you chose to oppose the Silver Spears today, then all of you can leave your corpses here!"
"What an arrogant Silver Spear!" Provoked by Thunderbird's words, Seth immediately glared at him with hatred.
However, Seth was worried. Their current state was not good. They had just experienced a major battle on the front lines, and everyone's energy consumption was not low. Especially Seth himself, who had continuously cast several powerful Blasting Curses and maintained a large-scale anti-Apparition charm, leaving him with less than half his magic. And this Silver Spear, who had suddenly appeared, was no weaker than he was in his prime. If he were in good condition now, he might be able to contend with the opponent for a bit, but now…
"Everyone be careful, this person's strength is extraordinary. If it's really impossible, retreat first. I will lift the anti-Apparition charm. We've really hit a tough opponent this time!" Seth was not stubborn. Since the opponent had strong reinforcements, there was no need for them to rush in and fight desperately with their injuries.
"Want to run? Too late!" Although Seth lowered his voice when greeting his clansmen, Thunderbird was not a fool. Just by looking at their expressions, he realized Seth's thoughts. "Hmph!" Thunderbird let out a cold laugh, then pointed the Fire Blade in his hand toward the sky.
Immediately after, everyone saw that pale blue Fiendfyre rapidly sprayed upward under Thunderbird's control, and in the high sky, it spread out like a gradually opening umbrella, quickly splitting and spreading in all directions. Before the Pure Land Society members could react, the space within a few hundred meters around them was completely enveloped by this Blue Fiendfyre, looking like an inverted blue bowl made of flames.
At this moment, both the club members and the Pure Land Society group were shocked by Thunderbird's astonishing action.
"Not good, this Blue Fiendfyre also has the ability to seal Apparition!" Seth had just lifted his own anti-Apparition charm, but after personally trying it, he found that he still couldn't Apparate, which meant the current space was still in a sealed state.
"But sir, look! After he used that Blue Fiendfyre to seal us, the Fiendfyre long blade in his hand disappeared. Does this mean he cannot use Blue Fiendfyre for both offense and defense simultaneously?" A sharp-eyed Pure Land Society wizard pointed at Thunderbird's wand and shouted.
Everyone looked and found that it was indeed true. The Fiendfyre long blade that Thunderbird had previously condensed had now disappeared, leaving only the snow-white aspen wand.
"Heh heh, after seeing that I can no longer use Fiendfyre, do you feel like you're capable again?" Thunderbird knew that the Pure Land Society wizard had seen that he couldn't maintain Fiendfyre for offense simultaneously, but he still sneered coldly, "Next, I'll let you trash know what a true gap is!"
Thunderbird deftly flicked his wand, casting a blur in front of him, and then seven or eight spells instantly formed and shot toward the Pure Land Society members.
"Everyone, don't panic. The opponent is using only the most common Impediment Jinx. Everyone spread out and surround him!" Seth saw that Thunderbird could cast so many spells simultaneously using the multi-casting technique, and he knew how troublesome this person was, but to stabilize morale, he still loudly called out to everyone.
The well-trained Pure Land Society wizards acted very quickly, immediately spreading out to both sides after Thunderbird's spells were cast. Along the way, many wizards also used the intervals to cast several curses at Thunderbird. However, something that quickly surprised them happened: those seven or eight Impediment Jinxes, condensed into balls of magic, seemed to have automatic navigation and also changed direction, flying straight toward their respective targets.
"Besides multi-casting, he also used the guided tracking casting technique? How strong is this guy's magic sensitivity?" Seth was also startled by Thunderbird's move at this moment. It was the first time he had seen someone able to guide so many spells to change direction simultaneously. "But no matter how fancy your casting technique is, this is just an ordinary shield charm, Protego!" Although Seth was surprised by Thunderbird's combat skills, he didn't take the opponent's spell seriously and immediately cast a shield charm to block the attack.
"Bang!"
When the projectile materialized by the Impediment Jinx struck Seth's Protego, a huge explosion suddenly erupted.
"This… the strength of this shield charm is not right!" Seth looked at the almost shattered barrier in front of him, and his heart was suddenly filled with alarm. Only after personally taking this seemingly ordinary blow did he realize that his previous prediction was completely wrong. What the hell was this shield charm? Its power was almost comparable to his single Blasting Curse! The power of this spell was so outrageous and abnormal!
"Not good!" Seth immediately reacted at this moment. If this spell was so difficult for him to take with his strength, then what about the others…
Indeed. The other Pure Land Society wizards present were not very wary of the shield charm cast by Thunderbird, and most of them took it head-on with a Protego. As a result, problems arose with this approach.
"Bang!"
The shield charm cast by Thunderbird, after hitting one of the wizard's magical shields, erupted with a powerful impact. Even after the first impact, the projectile shaped by the shield charm would expand and explode again, forming a second stage of damage.
"Pfft!"
This wizard's Protego was pierced during the first stage of damage, and the second stage sent him flying heavily, a large mouthful of blood gushing from his mouth. But it wasn't over after being sent flying. While in the air, this Pure Land Society wizard found himself suddenly frozen.
*Not good, someone is using a Levitation Charm to control me!*
Realizing this, he immediately tried to gather the magic within his body to break free. Control-type magic, like the Levitation Charm, requires remote control of the opponent, so the casting cost and intensity will decrease with distance. At this point, as long as the controlled wizard mobilizes his magic and struggles a bit, it's usually not difficult to break free. Therefore, this type of magic is not particularly effective when the strength difference is not very large, and it is generally only used in combat when bullying weaker individuals, such as young children.
So, after realizing this, the wizard immediately wanted to break free from this control, but after the heavy blow he had just received, his control over his magic was imbalanced, and he simply couldn't gather it in a short period of time. Before the wizard could think of a countermeasure, he felt a huge force surging from all directions, as if someone was firmly gripping him with a giant hand and desperately squeezing.
*It's control-type magic again, damn it, if only I had a few more seconds to circulate my magic…*
"Ah!!!!"
This immense force was impossible to resist with pure physical strength. Before he could even regret, he was engulfed by the pressure from all sides, and after letting out an unusually shrill scream, he was crushed into a puddle of flesh.
"First one!"
The grim Thunderbird retracted his clenched left hand, completely unaffected by the wizard's tragic end. Instead, he turned his head to look at another wizard who had lost his balance from a shield charm. "Next, you!"
Thunderbird deftly extended his wand, and then the unbalanced wizard was lifted high by a Levitation Charm. Immediately after, Thunderbird flicked his wand to the side. The floating wizard also followed Thunderbird's movement, falling heavily to the side, knocking down two other wizards who were moving along the way. Then Thunderbird gently flicked his wand upward again, and these three wizards were simultaneously controlled and lifted into mid-air. Immediately after, Thunderbird swung his wand downward heavily again, and the three wizards accelerated from a height of over ten meters, smashing toward the ground.
And on the ground at this moment, several hard, sharp stone spikes had risen, though it was unclear when!
"Ugh ah!!!"
Several more screams rang out. Looking at the three wizards, they were now full of holes from the erected stone spikes, clearly beyond saving.
"Next, you!"
Thunderbird at this moment seemed to have transformed into a ruthless killing machine, continuously casting spells on the Pure Land Society wizards, all using what seemed like the most ordinary Impediment Jinx. Then, after those wizards' defenses were broken by the spell, he would use control-type magic to subdue them. What followed was a variety of bizarre and cruel execution methods: some were crushed to death, some were thrown high into the air and then smashed onto stone spikes shaped by Transfiguration, some were directly crushed into a pulp by giant fists and palms, and some were even pulled close with control magic and then had their heads pierced by physical long swords transformed from a wand.
This extremely bloody scene not only made the Pure Land Society wizards feel deep despair but also made the club wizards watching from a distance feel their stomachs churn, with many even vomiting on the spot. Even the Death Eaters, who prided themselves on their cruel methods against enemies, felt a chill down their spines, awestruck by Thunderbird's brutal tactics. Was this guy really a smuggler for the Silver Spears? He seemed even more ferocious than the Dark Lord they used to serve.
At this moment, Seth felt his heart bleeding. In just the time it took to take two shield charms, Thunderbird had killed eight of his clansmen right in front of him. Thunderbird's actions couldn't even be described as killing; this was an execution, a slaughter!
And the rest of his clansmen were either scared stiff by Thunderbird's cruel methods or still struggling to cope with those powerful shield charms. If this continued, Seth estimated it wouldn't be long—perhaps just a few minutes—before they would be completely wiped out.
