Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 524 Corpses, Curses, and Unexpected Attacks!

Without the reinforcement of the powerful white wizards' spells, the massive golden magical shield that enveloped the entire Hogwarts grounds finally shattered under the fierce attack of the dark wizards.

A deafening, unpleasant cheer erupted all around Hogwarts.

But after the cheers, the saints did not launch their own attack, and even the ten thousand humanoid magical creatures from the north did not come out.

Based on the orders Grindelwald had just given before the shield shattered, the saints turned their attention to the large number of corpses left behind.

These corpses included a large number of evil Muggles and some ordinary saints who had just been sacrificed, as well as saints and humanoid magical creatures who were killed by the shield's rebound attacks during the previous assault on the shield.

From all directions, there were more than a dozen core saints who controlled the briefcase, and each place had one or two thousand such corpses, which added up to more than ten thousand.

Although the corpses left behind by the sacrifices lost a lot of vitality and became old and ugly, this did not affect the recycling of waste in the slightest.

"The remains have reappeared!" xN

In an instant, the saints from all directions cast dark magic on the surrounding corpses, transforming them into undead.

The corpse, which had been lying quietly on the ground, suddenly turned bluish and gained strange abilities to move.

Then, tens of thousands of undead charged toward the Hogwarts grounds from all directions.

The undead are not afraid, can swim, and can continue to attack even if they are missing an arm or a leg.

Although their individual combat strength is pitifully low, if they form a horde of zombies, they are definitely excellent cannon fodder, capable of draining the energy and stamina of white wizards and making them exhausted.

This move was somewhat beyond the expectations of Dumbledore and the other powerful white wizards.

The main reason was that the dark wizards' previous high-profile direct attack had led them into a mental rut, making them think that the dark wizards, who had a numerical advantage, would launch a full-scale attack and wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics so quickly.

Little did he know that Grindelwald had not intended to use this defensive tactic from the outset, nor did he have the means to do so.

But the white wizard kept bringing him 'surprises' and created the conditions for him to use underhanded tricks.

He had no choice but to be more cautious and adopt a stealthy approach.

"Dali, you maintain the illusion of the Starry Sky Maze. Everyone, use your twin wands to cast the Freeze Spell together and deal with the Shadow Corpses in the north and west first."

Upon seeing this, Dumbledore immediately issued a new, targeted order: "Dudley, you shall then allocate some twin wand holders to support our allies in the east and south!"

Dumbledore's words could be accurately conveyed to specific groups of people through the Starry Night Labyrinth, and his orders were immediately carried out.

Dudley, whose army was still outside Hogwarts territory, could vaguely see, through the darkness and the simulated spell lights, that the Hogwarts white wizards were being thrown into disarray by the army of iniquities, their formations somewhat scattered, seemingly caught off guard but still able to cope.

In reality...

"The ground is frozen and the weather is freezing!"

The more than 450 white wizards, wielding twin wands, split into two groups on the spot. With the double spellcasting and the tenfold amplification of the spell's power, they faced north and west and jointly cast the Freeze Spell.

In an instant, a towering white freezing aura emerged, instantly freezing all the Yin Corpses rushing from both directions into ice sculptures.

Some of the powerful freezing air was about to extend beyond the boundaries of Hogwarts. To avoid revealing the true situation, Dudley immediately manipulated the Starry Sky Maze to shift the excess freezing air to the weaker defenses on the eastern and southern fronts.

A batch of corpses that had flooded into the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake were frozen.

Then, two hundred twin wand wielders transformed into starlight and were temporarily reassigned by Dudley to provide support in the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake.

The white wizards who were moved towards the Black Lake had an optimized version of the Bubble Head Charm that covered their entire bodies, allowing them to breathe freely in the Black Lake.

With proper coordination, this wave of iniquities posed no threat to Hogwarts, but Grindelwald's offensive was not simply composed of iniquities.

After the saints created an army of iniquities and invaded Hogwarts, a dozen core saints, along with Grindelwald and Ecclesia, each summoned thousands of unconscious evil Muggles from their respective briefcases.

This is all their inventory.

Soon, these Muggles were also sacrificed and transformed into powerful dark magic, but this time the dark magic they cast was not a conspicuous dark red beam of light attack, but an invisible and intangible dark magic curse.

The curse, created from the lives of tens of thousands of living people, was extremely powerful and followed closely behind the army of iniquities into the Hogwarts grounds.

This is a powerful curse that weakens and exhausts people, making it perfect for dealing with white wizards who can resurrect.

Logically, once this curse is used, at least 70-80% of the white wizards at Hogwarts will be completely incapacitated, lying on the ground unable to even lift their wands. The remaining powerful white wizards will also become weak and powerless, unable to launch any threatening magical counterattacks.

Considering that his opponent was Dumbledore and Dudley, whom he couldn't quite figure out, Grindelwald lowered his expectations somewhat.

But he never expected that this powerful curse would not cause any harm to Hogwarts.

The double-strength shield of loyalty, amplified tenfold in power, blocked the invisible and intangible powerful curse of weakness and even bounced it off short distances.

Although some students' Shield of Loyalty blocked the curse, it was damaged considerably, but the curse did not actually fall on any Hogwarts members or magical creatures.

Fortunately, the saints were casting spells remotely by sacrificing Muggles. If they had gotten close and used this technique, not only would they have failed to harm the white wizard, but they would have also been knocked down by the reflected curse power.

Dumbledore, who noticed the sneak attack of the curse, knew that everyone had activated their shields in advance and would be fine. However, behind this curse was the implication that another large number of corpses would be created through black magic sacrifice.

He immediately warned everyone to be prepared for the impending new wave of undead armies, as well as the possible arrival of dark wizards and hostile magical creatures.

Things turned out exactly as Dumbledore had predicted.

Dudley continued to carry out Old Dumbledore's deceptive instructions, using the illusions created by the Starry Sky Maze to make the dark wizards outside see groups of white wizards collapsing weakly.

Now, even if Grindelwald was cautious, he believed the time was ripe.

He immediately ordered the saints to transform the tens of thousands of evil Muggle corpses that had just been sacrificed into Inferi, and then control them to attack Hogwarts. Then, the entire group would use the Inferi army as human shields to launch a full-scale attack.

On the northern front, Grindelwald led the Infernals in front, followed by the remaining fewer than ten thousand humanoid magical creatures, while he himself led the elite Saints at the rear, surging into Hogwarts like a tidal wave.

A new, even larger army of Infernals stormed into Hogwarts, crushing the Infernals that had been frozen into ice sculptures by the previous wave. However, they were soon swept away by the powerful freezing air and suffered the same fate as the previous wave of Infernals.

But these numerous corpses ultimately provided convenience and protection for Grindelwald's side.

The twin wand wielders were scattered, and the strongest northern enemy was not immediately subjected to a powerful concentrated attack.

Fortunately, due to the obstruction of the Starry Sky Maze, the humanoid magical creatures and dark wizards who had stormed in were unable to convey the true battle situation they witnessed to those who had not yet entered the Hogwarts grounds.

Grindelwald's entire force gradually entered Hogwarts territory, falling within the control of the Starry Sky Maze and the no-fly zone.
