Chapter 128: When Love Is a Thing of the Past
With the personal support of one of the candidates, the number of yellow fireworks completely prevailed.
In the end, Grindelwald's followers were unable to overcome the combined efforts of the supporters of the two candidates, and Wisencia Santos won the election.
Santos smiled at the results of the vote, turned to the audience and announced his first political proposition.
"Gellert Grindelwald is now on the international wanted list for his many crimes in the wizarding world, such as his actions in the wizarding world, his intent to violate the International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act, and his murder of the rare magical animal Kirin, and so on, and he will be executed immediately!" Santos said solemnly.
As soon as her words fell, Grindelwald went from a near-candidate to the president of the Federation to a missed member of the Ancient Magical Authority.
At the same time, the atmosphere became tense between the Grindelwald believers present and the rest of the electorate.
"In that case, it doesn't matter." Grindelwald waved his hand slightly, gently rubbing the elderberry wand with seven raised branches in his hand.
In an instant, he waved his wand and fired a terrifying green beam at Aurelius, who was standing on the side of the platform!
Dumbledore had long been wary of this, and together with his brother Aberforth, he cast a spell to protect Aurelius.
Three different colored spells collided together.
The moment Dumbledore's spell came into contact with Grindelwald's Curse, time seemed to stand still—
The diamond-shaped pendant on Dumbledore's wrist flickered with blood-red light, and the chain attached to it seemed to want to entangle and bind his right hand, but then it was released as if it were overwhelmed, like an overly tight string, breaking inch by inch.
It was followed by the Blood Pact's diamond-shaped locket, which suddenly emitted blinding beams of bright white light that fell down from Dumbledore's wrist!
Both Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked at their blood alliance in disbelief, their expressions suddenly complicated.
Grindelwald's expression suddenly looked a little panicked, a little stunned, and a little painful, while Dumbledore's expression was a little dazed, a little reluctant, and a little disintegrated......
The bright white beam of light from the Blood Pact Locket enveloped the two who had once been close, bringing them into a spiritual space, trying to make a final reservation for them.
The two looked at each other with complicated eyes and remained silent.
Then, they attacked!
A vast, ever-changing spell instantly filled this silver-white space.
The two of them still had resentful expressions on their faces. They desperately attacked each other, using powerful spells to vent the indescribable emotions in their hearts. You come and go, murderous, spells flying!
Eventually, the two became entangled, pointing their wands at each other, panting at each other.
The two of them, who had already vented most of the depression and anger in their hearts, gradually calmed down in their tense eyes. And this last spell, no one can make up their minds to cast it on the other......
The glow from the tip of the wand faded, and the two released each other's left hand pressed to each other's heart, silent.
"Albus, it was you who turned your back on me, on our common ideals!" Grindelwald pursed his lips, but finally spoke first. "You said that everything we do is for the greater good!"
"I think we made it clear from our last meeting, Gellert." Dumbledore lowered his head and rubbed his wrist slightly, which still had the dents wound around the chain of the Blood Pact vial. "I never wanted to rule the world, I used to say and do that just to be with you."
"I ask again, do you really want to be my enemy for the sake of those animal-like beings?" Grindelwald took a deep breath, his voice getting colder.
Dumbledore just shook his head and walked in the direction where the Blood Pact was falling.
Even if time flies slowly, slowly, the diamond-shaped pendant with cracks will eventually fall to the ground - there is not much magic left of it.
The silver-white space gradually opens up a crack to the outside world, and the Himalayan sunlight shines in from it, and the yellow sunlight blends with the silvery white dazzling light, and the scene blurs like a dream.
Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore's departing back, opened his mouth several times, and finally blurted out a sentence that he shouldn't have said:
"Who else will love you now, Dumbledore?!"
The locket lost all its color and fell to the ground and shattered in half!
At the same time, the silvery-white space completely dissipated, revealing the Bhutanese temple and the majestic Himalayas outside.
"Then I'd rather die alone." Dumbledore whispered.
……
At this time, the outside world did not know what was going on between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, only that Grindelwald had used the Death Reminder Charm on the long-haired young wizard, and that Dumbledore and his brother Aberforth had blocked it.
Xiwen felt a little more than the others. At the moment when the Blood Pact shattered, he noticed that there was a wave of different dimensions covering Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
The space only appeared for a second, and disappeared abruptly when the locket fell to the ground.
However, at this time, no one could think much about it, and the new president of the International Confederation of Wizards, Wisencia Santos, had already led the crowd and slowly pressed Grindelwald over.
"You've failed, Grindelwald. Catch us now, we might be a light blow to you! Santos snapped at Grindelwald.
Grindelwald just shook his head and smiled nervously as if he hadn't heard her.
"Hehe, lonely old age." He scoffed.
Santos waited no longer and was the first to chant a spell at Grindelwald.
Many of the people behind her followed suit.
In the dense spell attack, Grindelwald suddenly raised his head and held up a blue-black fire shield, blocking all the spells.
Not only that, but this circle of blue-black flames seemed to engulf all the previous spells, not only was it not broken, but it grew stronger and stronger, rising up. Turned into a mountain of flames!
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
"Be careful, everyone, this is Grindelwald's fire shield protection, which can devour all the surrounding matter and turn it into its nourishment!" Newt saw the blue-black flame and hurriedly reminded everyone loudly.
Theseus also recognized the flame, and his fiancée had died in the same flame ten years earlier!
"Grindelwald!" He shouted the name of his enemy and rushed forward desperately.
"Calm down, Theseus!" Dumbledore stopped him and handed the emotional Theseus over to Newt to look after.
He then walked to the front of the crowd, pointed his wand at the flaming mountain, and recited an enhanced version of the Universal Cracking Spell.
"Fiem!"
Under the suppression of Dumbledore's powerful magic, the blue-black flames gradually extinguished.
However, the flames were empty, leaving only the gates of the Ancient Magical Authority Standing in place.
Grindelwald is long gone......
