Chapter 199: Sadness, Abandonment, and Chase

With the captured bird-snake, everyone returned to Newt's box.

For some reason, the invisible beast seemed to like Jacob very much and kept pestering him all the way.

Inside the box, Newt and Pickett fiddled with the herbs.

"Hey, Newt, who's this girl?" Queenie asked.

Newt stopped what he was doing and fell silent.

"Rita Lestrange, I've heard of that family, are they..." Queenie wanted to speak but was interrupted by Newt.

“I asked if you could stop reading my thoughts.” Newt looked up.

“Sorry, people’s minds are easier to read when they’re sad.” Queenie approached Newt. “She’s a taker, and you need a giver.”

"Well, speaking of the Lestrange family, I was a classmate of their last heir." Aiden threw a piece of snack into his mouth.

"What are you talking about?" Tina also came over.

"School stuff." *3

"You are talking about school. Is there a wizard school in the United States?" Jacob also joined the discussion.

"Of course, Ilvermorny, it's the best magic school in the world." Queenie smiled at Jacob.

“I think you’ll find that the best school in the world is Hogwarts.” Newt threw the herbs in his hand into the millstone.

"Hogwash" Queenie crossed her arms.

"Look, does Ilvermorny have this?" Newt pouted at the excellent dragon student beside him.

"Don't worry about it. Everyone thinks that the magic school in their own country is the best." Aiden patted Jacob on the shoulder.

"What about you?" Jacob asked back.

".....Hogwarts."

When the few of them were chatting excitedly, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and a thunderbird changed its color and approached Newt.

"Danger, Frank senses the danger." Newt looked at him blankly.

.......

On the other side, Grindelwald, disguised as Graves, came to the orphanage where Second Salem was stationed.

"Credence, I need you to help me find that girl. She is very dangerous." 'Gravis' touched Credence's head.

There was a flash of space, and following Credence's instructions, the two came to an apartment.

"She was scared, so she came back here to find her brothers and sisters." Credence lowered his head.

"Where is she?" asked Graves.

"I do not know."

"You're a squib, Credence. I knew that the first time I saw you." Seeing that Credence was useless, 'Graves' bared his fangs at him.

"What do you mean?" Credence sensed something was wrong.

"You have wizard ancestors, but you don't have the ability to control magic. Your mind is too inferior." 'Graves' walked into the room.

"But you said you would teach me!" Credence choked.

"You are unteachable. Your mother is dead. This is your reward. We are even now." 'Graves' walked away.

"Modesty, I'm here with my brother, don't be afraid." 'Gravis' tried to get closer to the little girl.

But following her gaze, the wall behind him collapsed completely, and standing there was Credence.

Graves finally realized that what he was looking for was in his hands from the beginning, but he had ruthlessly pushed it away.

"Credence, you can control it." 'Gravis' wanted to show the charm of language.

"I trust you so much, but now, I don't want to control it, Mr. Graves."

As Credence's voice fell, the surrounding walls exploded and a powerful black magic force burst out.

The black particles carry red sparks, crashing into and smashing everything that stands in their way.

The streets and buildings of New York, Aiden looked at the 'black fog' with interest.

"Jesus, this is what is called the Silent Master." Jacob remembered what he had heard in prison before.

"He's more powerful than any Obscurial I've ever heard of." Newt frowned.

"I'll go first and see if I can reduce the damage." Aiden said.

Then, he opened his arms and fell from the roof, and a dragon emitting silver-white particles followed him.

The black particles and the silver-white particles collided in the air and canceled each other out.

The two colors of particles entangled and spiraled into the sky before colliding once again. They then split apart and flew toward the distant streets.

"If I can't come back, please help me take care of my animals. Here are the things you need to pay attention to." Newt handed Tina a box and a small notebook.

"Newt!" As Tina shouted, Newt disappeared in a flash.

Tina quickly turned around and handed over the box and notebook. "You heard it, take good care of them."

Tina chased after him, and Queenie also wanted to go, but was stopped by Jacob. The two of them expressed their feelings to each other in the collision of their thoughts.

In the distance, black particles were destroying everything around them. The dragon made of white particles collided with it several times, while also being responsible for protecting the pedestrians around it. For a moment, the dragon was in a stalemate.

The space flickered, and 'Gravis' walked over. "He is inside you. You have survived this long. You are a miracle, Credence."

'Graves' pulled out his wand and tried to capture Credence.

Newt and Tina also rushed over.

"It's the boy from Second Salem," Newt said to Tina.

"How did he survive?" Tina was puzzled.

"Because his bloodline is very powerful." White butterflies condensed and Aiden walked out.

"Can you save him?" Tina asked.

"We'll do our best." Aiden flashed in front of Graves. "Hello, Mr. Grindelwald."

"You, Prewett, wait what kind of spell is this."

Silver-white particles surrounded Grindelwald, forming a chain. Aiden clenched his fists and knocked him unconscious.

After dealing with 'Gravis' Aiden turned back, and the black particles took the opportunity to break free from their restraints and fly into the sky.

Inside MACUSA, Picqueri looked at the magic map emitting red light, "We can't let the damage expand any further. If we continue like this, we will be close to the limit of exposure, and war will follow."

Following Picquery's order, the Aurors also joined the crusade.

On the rooftops of New York's Fifth Avenue, space kept flickering as new Aurors joined the battlefield.

The first move they made was to use the Crushing Spell, which seemed to be a fatal move close to their limit.

Newt deflected two Shattering Curses and shouted to the black mist, "Credence, we are here to help you."

Unfortunately, Newt did not get a response, and the black fog was still moving at a very high speed.

At the end of Fifth Avenue, NAPD received the news and organized people to use cars as cover and face the approaching criminals with guns raised.

The black fog roared and swallowed, crushing pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and the police opened fire on it.

But the semi-automatic rifles were clearly not enough against the already rampaging Silent Division.

In the sky, a giant silver dragon swooped down and disintegrated into particles when it was about to collide with the police.

These particles built a white protective shield around them, and multiple hexagonal crystals formed a semicircular shield to cover these people.

The black mist and crystal collided, making a harsh friction sound.

The Auror behind caught up and fired a spell at the black fog. An explosion occurred where the spell collided with the black fog, and the black fog was quickly dispersed.
