Chapter 210: The Wind and Thunder

In the middle of the Silver Shield, Arthur stood steady while all the Aurors attacked him.

He felt that it was about time, as he had gained an understanding of their abilities. He would look weak if he didn't hit back soon.

"Scrimgeour, be cautious. I'm about to make my move."

Arthur calmly warned before attacking. Upon hearing this, everyone on the dueling stage tensed up, their expressions becoming serious.

During the short pause between attacks, they cast all their defensive spells.

Arthur extends his arm smoothly, not even pulling out his wand, and gently says one word.

"Wind!"

Instantly, a strong wind blows on the stage. The magical wind blows away the incoming spells, deflecting them onto the protective shield.

Professors Flitwick and McGonagall quickly channeled their shields with magic to stabilize the crumbling barriers, sweat beads forming on their foreheads.

Even though they suddenly had to withstand attacks from ten Aurors and Elite Aurors, they still felt immense pressure.

The strong wind persists, blowing Scrimgeour, and the Aurors struggle to maintain their balance.

After barely regaining their balance, they all gather together and use a Windy Spell to counter the wind summoned by Arthur.

Just as they manage to stabilize the situation, Arthur points to the sky once again.

"Thunder!"

Blue lightning gathers in the air and strikes down toward Scrimgeour and the others.

Everyone is shocked; the power of lightning is frightening no matter where you are.

"Boom!"

When the lightning strikes the Shield Charm, a loud roar suddenly resounds.

"Damn it, everyone, Strengthen the shield with all your strength!"

Feeling the tremendous power of the lightning attack, Scrimgeour's face darkened as he shouted at his team.

"Protego!"

"Protego!"

"Protego!"

Arthur glanced at Flitwick and McGonagall.

Their shields wouldn't hold for much longer, and he's been dragging out this battle long enough, it's time to end it.

He raises his arm high and swings it down as if a conductor is ending a performance, Arthur is marking an end to this battle!

The continuous lightning suddenly doubled in power, and the thunder's strength made everyone's heart tighten.

Scrimgeour and the others, who were barely holding together before, are suddenly under a lot of pressure.

The shields, which were already barely holding up, shattered one after another under immense power. The lightning bolts struck them directly.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Several screams come from their mouths as they fall to the ground, losing their ability to resist.

At this moment, Arthur also lowers his arm.

The two wizards stopped fighting with magic, and the young wizards in the audience were totally quiet as they watched the show. The whole room became strangely quiet.

"Scrimgeour, the duel is over,"

Arthur spoke softly, awakening the audience from their immersion in the battle.

After a brief moment of silence, a loud cheer erupted, and the voices of the young wizards seemed to be breaking the ceiling of the Great Hall.

So powerful!

In a normal battle, 'Dumbledore' defeated ten Aurors effortlessly with just three spells.

Especially the last word, wind, and thunder.

It's as if a god spoke and controlled the power of nature itself.

Professor McGonagall was also very excited, although she found it strange that Dumbledore had never used these spells before.

But what does it matter?

Dumbledore hasn't fought in any duels in all these years, so developing a few new spells is no big deal.

However, besides being happy, she was also worried about the injured Aurors and Scrimgeour on the stage.

Despite the fact that she found their provocations to be annoying, she didn't want to hurt them too severely or damage the Ministry of Magic's reputation.

Professor McGonagall rushed to the dueling stage and checked on everyone. She exhaled a sigh of relief when she realized that the lightning had only temporarily paralyzed them.

"Albus, what should we do next?"

McGonagall asked for Albus's opinion, looking at the people who collapsed on the ground.

Arthur knew that this was the end of today's events.

"Minerva, help Scrimgeour and the others find a place to rest. We'll announce the verdict of the Buckbeak trial once they've recovered,"

Arthur replied.

Professor McGonagall nodded and led the group of Aurors away.

After leaving the excited young wizards and glancing at Cho, Arthur returned to the Headmaster's office.

When he entered the office, he heard Headmaster Phineas's shout.

"Well done! Those rats from the Ministry of Magic deserved to be taught a lesson!"

"You did a great job, Arthur. The authority of the Hogwarts Headmaster cannot be challenged by just anyone!"

Another unnamed headmaster agreed with Phineas.

The portraits could move freely and appear in any painting within Hogwarts or even outside of it.

Clearly, these portrait headmasters appreciated the duel that had just happened.

"You are too kind. It was all Headmaster Dumbledore's doing, not Arthur's. When Professor Dumbledore comes back, I hope you can testify on my behalf. They attacked first."

Arthur regained his original appearance and looked at them with a grin.

The headmasters were speechless at Arthur's words. Even at this moment, he was trying to shift the blame!

"Don't worry, we will testify for you in this matter. We won't let Professor Dumbledore cause you any trouble."

Headmaster Armando Dippet assured Arthur.

Arthur was quite satisfied with his performance just now.

Not only did he demonstrate Dumbledore's dignity, but also his own power that surpassed the wizarding world.

Since he didn't know which specific magic Dumbledore would use to fight his enemies, he had to use some new spell to avoid exposing any flawswho had to Professor McGonagall.

So even if she asked him about it, he could just say it was recently created.

Both the Wind and Lightning spells were talents inherited from his Thunderbird bloodline.

Arthur also carefully controlled his power.

If he had unleashed his full power, a single thunderbolt would probably leave no trace of these people.

At that moment, the door mechanism made a sound, and Cho, Hermione, and Luna all walked into the office.
