Chapter 323: Paris on Fire, Nico Takes Action

“No,” Newt yelled, but it was too late.

The guy who cast the killing curse had already escaped, and Grindelwald pushed through the crowd and came to the woman.

"Take this young warrior back to her homeland." Grindelwald stroked her eyes.

But what he didn't notice was that a Niffler snuck into his arms and stole a blood-filled trinket.

"Come on, my fellows, Apparate away and tell the world that I was not the first to resort to violence."

Grindelwald's voice was blessed by hell and was extremely bewitching.

The wizards raised their heads and turned into black mist, leaving the cemetery.

When the wizards left, only Grindelwald and a few of his loyal followers, as well as the Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic, were left in the venue.

"Catch him," Theseus murmured.

Grindelwald raised his wand and pointed it in a circle.

In an instant, the ground around the circle caught fire. It was a gorgeous yet terrifying sight.

The flames spread in all directions like a wild beast, with its fangs and claws bared.

The scorching temperature seemed to burn the air, and the blazing flames illuminated the entire cemetery.

The flames licked the bricks, reducing everything to ash. The flames shot up into the sky, dyeing the dome a dark blue.

Grindelwald stood in the center of the blue flames, like a demon controlling the fire of hell.

There was no fear on his face, only a firm commitment to his ideals.

"Join me, Aurors." Grindelwald opened his arms to them.

"Then I promise you eternal loyalty, or death."

Grindelwald's voice seemed to come from far away, and it seemed that many people were echoing him, overlapping their voices.

“Only here can you be free, only here can you truly understand yourself.”

The Aurors around were somewhat hesitant, and Ke Luo on the side wanted to pass through the flames, but was burned to ashes.

The Aurors hesitated, and some tried to Apparate away.

However, the flames around Grindelwald automatically rushed towards them.

The flames from the King of the Deep - Hell, interfered with space.

When the Aurors Apparated, they broke through the protection of space and burned them.

"Follow the rules, kids, hehe." Grindelwald laughed.

Credence took a step forward, but Nagini held him back.

Grindelwald, sensing Credence's inner anxiety, smiled.

"Credence!" Newt called out to him and tried to run over, but was blocked by Grindelwald's flames.

Credence stepped into the flames, and Jacob, who saw this, hugged Queenie tightly.

"Queenie, you have to wake up!" Jacob shook her.

"Jacob, he is the answer." Queenie's voice was as soft as her breathing.

"No no no" Jacob shook his head.

"Come with me." Queenie broke away from Jacob.

But Queenie was faced with Jacob's inner voice and disappointed expression.

Grief, fear, and worry erupted in Queenie's heart, and she yelled at Jacob, "Follow me!"

"You're crazy." Jacob looked at Queenie very sadly.

And Queenie seemed to have received some kind of answer, and stepped into the fire without looking back.

"No, Queenie, don't!" Jacob stretched out his hand to stop her, but the flames almost burned him.

Queenie screamed and stepped into the flames. Grindelwald reached out his hand to accept her and sent her away.

Grindelwald walked out of the circle of fire and walked towards Rita.

"Perhaps I know this lady, Leta Lestrange. She is despised, unloved, and not treated well."

Grindelwald reached out his hand and pulled Leta up, "Brave lady, it's time to go home."

Then, rows of silver threads came together to weave a clock behind Rita.

"Click" the minute hand of the clock twisted backwards, and Grindelwald's sea of ​​fire was instantly stopped in place.

One flame broke away from the flame and was fixed in mid-air.

Grindelwald reached out and touched it, but there was no burning sensation and no harm.

"Time?" Grindelwald immediately recognized the source of this strange power.

"Look, Mr. Grindelwald, the pursuit of freedom is a beautiful thing, but your actions are somewhat contrary to your promise not to incite hatred?"

A young boy's voice appeared, and the sea of ​​fire separated to both sides, leaving Aiden with a path that led directly to Grindelwald.

"You should understand, young man from the Prewett family, that this is a revolution, and bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable."

Grindelwald seemed to be accustomed to this; after all, he was a legendary wizard who was firm in his ideals and beliefs.

It was impossible to be shaken by Aiden's few words, so the confrontation between individuals eventually returned to violence.

Aiden stretched out his hand and pushed, and Wenda Zirol flew out, and the alchemical item storing the prophecy in her hand fell to the ground.

The surrounding flames began to shake more violently, breaking through Aiden's blockade.

"I didn't expect that." Aiden gave an awkward smile.

Grindelwald waved the flames towards Aiden like a baton.

At the same time, a thin stream of fire split off to attack Leta, Newt and the others.

"Disperse." Aiden raised his wand and hooked it. The power of the silent ban spread out, rescuing Newt and the other two.

Grindelwald threw a killing curse at Aiden, and he flashed away.

Rita and Theseus were Apparated away by Newt.

"Hmph, I hate Paris!" Grindelwald stayed where he was and stood up with the help of a cane.

Then the Apparition disappeared.

Outside the tomb, Yusuf Kama escaped with Nagini, Tina and Jacob.

The flames of hell reacted violently after being catalyzed by the prophecy, and the figure of a dragon appeared in the dark blue flames.

Nico also rushed to the outskirts of the cemetery at this time, and the air squeezed out by the flames blew his white hair.

There was a flash of space, and Aiden appeared beside him.

"What's going on?" Nico asked.

"He has completed the integration with Hell, and the plan for the Department of Mysteries should have begun." Aiden replied.

Nico nodded and said nothing more.

The surrounding wizards used the Myriad Curses to disperse the gathered fierce fire while moving towards Nico and Aiden.

"Everyone, gather in a circle and stick your wands into the ground, or all of Paris will be destroyed."

Nico directed everyone and they immediately formed a circle.

Niko used himself as the point and the wizards as the circle, and he designed an alchemical matrix that could connect everyone's spells.

"All curses come to an end." * 5

Everyone injected spells into Nico's alchemical matrix, and Nico acted as the hub to regulate the flow of magic power.

"All curses are over." Aiden raised his staff, and a vigorous orange flame was injected into Nico's matrix.

Instantly, the power of the matrix spread out from the ground, and the entire Père Lachaise Cemetery was enveloped in a myriad of curses.

Nico asked the wizards to stick their wands into the ground and use the magic of the earth veins to fight against the power of the King of the Deep.

In the center of the cemetery, more flames erupted and formed into dragons.

The dragons flapped their wings and tried to break through Nico's defense, but were easily suppressed by Nico.

The collision of flames continued to make explosions, and the dragon was slowly surrounded by orange-yellow flames.

They changed direction and began to rush towards the sky.

However, in the sky, a nimble silver dragon was flapping its wings and waiting for them.

The silver dragon opened its mouth and spewed frost at the evil dragon formed by fierce fire.

Just like that, with the combined efforts of the two, Li Huo was retracted into the cemetery, and all the openings around it were blocked with stone slabs.

The frost that fell from the sky formed a thick layer of ice on the outside of the slabs, and the fire was stopped.
