So Many Underhanded Tactics

Crynn POV

What kind of acquaintance would I be if I didn't give Newt any help. Besides, he looks like he's in trouble. Hmm... What's the safest route? Nowhere's the safest route, everywhere is plagued by dark wizards vs MACUSA or British guards, fantastic. Looks like I'll have to push in as quick as possible to avoid battles from jumbling in.

"Mano Rota (Spanish Google Translate to Broken Hand)!" It's also just in time for a completely random dark wizard to ambush me in with a jump from some bushes. Is that a Spanish spell, cause that sounds Spanish to me but the ominous red color of magic made me stop my thinking and charge my reflexes, evading it. I don't want to be a hypocrite (Cause I already am) but, you want to sneak on me?!

"Lumos!" I felt my magic and chose to output more of it into the lighting charm, covering my eyes just in time before the sheer brightness took over. "Argh!!! Mis ojos (My eyes)!!!" Yelling means a good thing right, so I disabled the spell and opened my eyes to witness the scene of a dark wizard so pitifully crying out Spanish while rubbing his eyes.

And, slash, he's dead, underhanded tactics are the best. Actually, I've been thinking of a couple of creative methods I could try out with my spells that I couldn't really test until now, should be a perfect time for experiments. And there I spot a dark wizard, a most careless dark wizard, I mean... who just stands around in the middle of a battle, looking around blankly.

He's practically defenseless which is so very dishonorable to attack but this is a battle after all. I dashed down in no time and pointed my wand straight to the opening of his nose. "Tergeo!" I put my magic in and all of a sudden, the dark wizard's face went all pale and white like there's no more blood running.

To my expectations, all the blood in the dark wizard's body got siphoned out through the nose which resulted in a 5 liter nose bleed, it's like an open tap of running water, but this time instead of water, it's bloody red blood. I almost couldn't help but churn my stomach at that sight, now that is truly revolting, wetting the dark wizard in a pool of his own blood.

And they say Tergeo is a light spell of siphoning charm to clean liquids off of stuff, could certainly pass off as well as a dark spell. Ok, I'm not using that spell on humans anymore, as much as I've got no qualms on killing, I won't be killing someone with such a barbaric way. Time to go to that dragon, it's disturbing the balance of the battle.

"Lebensschmelze (German Google Translate to Life Melt)," a dark wizard from nowhere, shot out a dangerous purple light on me. I swiftly ducked as the light fell upon the grass behind me and fortunately for me, I ain't hit by the spell. Unfortunately for the grass, the spell literally melted them, grass shouldn't be able to melt.

More importantly, is that spell German? The dark wizards certainly are a cultural mix, aren't they. And all these new dark spells I'm facing, need to be careful against them or I could melt like the grass. "Wingardium Leviosa," I managed to float a handful of dirt from the ground and immediately threw it away at the dark wizard's eyes.

The dark wizard screamed and hasted to wipe clean the dirt infecting his eyes but its too late. I'm already in front of him and have already cut his throat open. One of the greatest ways to defeat a foe is to firstly blind the foe, either with just bright light or multiple very small objects like dust, sand or dirt, all proven effective to blind the enemy.

I love my underhanded tactics, so, so much. I felt my senses point me backwards as I felt danger from behind me. I fully rotated my body to look the other way and sure enough, two dark witches and a dark wizard stood with their arms raised, their wands threatening. Voosh!!! Three long and wide streams of fire poured out of their wands towards me, like flame throwers clearing up a bunker.

But not to worry, I never die easily... the virus doesn't count. "Aer Calidus!" I inject my magic into the wand and a burst of hot air blasted out of my wand in a gale of wind! The wind instantly pushed the flames back to the casters! "AAAAHHHH!!!" By the time the spell stopped, the flame had already burnt the dark witches and wizard to ash.

Wind is can both be a weakness to fire and also an amplifier to it. Swish! A golden arrow glided past my head and pricked deeply into a dark wizard's head distances away. Aria's abilities as an archer is no joke at all! True expert that! I spotted yet another unfocused wizards among others, looking everywhere in fear, not fitting for battle at all.

"Locomotor Mortis!" I folded his legs around and brought the cutting edge of my saber around his neck. I feel like these wizards and witches are all simply third rate, absolutely weak! I mean, compared to Minerva Mcgonagall and Severus Snape, these wizards are simply nothing! Where's Grindelwald?

I looked up to find the same old handsome white hared male sitting on the carriage looking down on everyone. The carriage is also not flying, but suspended mid air like Grindelwald was observing the battle. Wait! You don't say! Could this be Grindelwald's recruitment test?! Pitting wizards and witches with no ability nor experience with powerful guards?! Is he insane?!

That's why I've not seen any of the guards go down, certainly because the enemies were all rookies! That dragon is a bonus though, still tackling it out with Newt, I can't let it change the chimes of battle.
