The Beginning of a New Era (1)

Ivan pushed himself to his feet and slowly exhaled as Grindelwald lay lifeless on the floor.

It's… over!

Ivan touched the crescent moon pendant hanging around his neck, feeling a little scared.

If it had not been for the pendant that had blocked Grindelwald's Fire Incantation, it would have been impossible to tell who had fallen to the ground.

Fortunately, he managed to get rid of his biggest rival…

He had not prepared for this in vain.

As Ivan lamented the loss of his wand, he used his magical mark to alert Flun, who had finished the fight, to come and clean up the mess.

A new introduction appeared in the system column.

[Magical Item: Elder Wand (Deathly Hallows)

Magic: Extreme

Effect: Greatly increases the power of the charm, greatly decreases magic consumption

Owner: Ivan Hals

Compatibility: 100%

Description: Legend has it that this wand was made from a branch cut from a tree by Death, and that it contained unimaginable power.

Note: You became the new owner of the Elder Wand after killing Grindelwald, the previous owner, in a one-on-one battle.]

Clutching the Wand of the Strongest, Ivan felt the magic within him grow more active than any other wand he had ever held.

Although he had the honour of using it once, more than four years ago, Ivan was too weak to appreciate the power of the Elder Wand.

"The end of all curses!" Ivan said, looking around at the fire, which was still burning, and tentatively waving his wand.

An extremely magical force quickly spread, and the terrifying fire that spread throughout the Department of Mysteries was quickly suppressed by this force and gradually dissipated.

When Grindelwald was no longer in control of the barrier, it began to slowly disperse.

Ivan nodded in satisfaction. The Elder Wand was indeed the most powerful wand he had ever owned, far superior to the Human Bones Wand he had worked so hard to create.

Wait, the Deathly Hallows… With a thought, Ivan remembered that he had collected three Deathly Hallows. He walked over to Grindelwald's corpse and pulled out the Sword of Gryffindor, which was still stuck in Grindelwald's chest.

[Magical Item: Invisibility Cloak (Deathly Hallows)

Magic: Powerful (extremely powerful)

Special State: Partial Damage

Description: Legend has it that this is a Deathly Hallows crafted by the Grim Reaper himself, made from the Grim Reaper's Cloak. It possesses unimaginable magical powers and allows the wearer to hide from detection.

Note: You destroyed it in the Great War…"

Ivan was pleased with himself as he read the description of the Deathly Hallows. No matter how mysterious and powerful the Deathly Hallows were, they were still pierced through by his sword.

However, when he thought about how the Cloak of Invisibility was now his, his self-satisfaction quickly turned into heartache…

It would be difficult for him to repair such a powerful magical object with his current level of alchemy.

Perhaps because the Invisibility Cloak was damaged, the three Hallows did not resonate when Ivan put them on…

Ivan rubbed his chin, lost in thought, when the door to the Department of Mysteries burst open and a hundred Aurors burst in.

Even though Ivan had cleaned up the flames in advance, the fighting had damaged the entire Department of Mysteries, and Grindelwald's body lay at Ivan's feet.

Seeing this, everyone immediately understood that there must have been an epic battle, and the winner was Ivan Hals, who was standing in the middle of the room…

"Are you all right, President Harls?" Unlike the others, Fran immediately went up to him and asked with concern.

Ivan did not seem to be in good shape. His robes were scorched and there was blood on his chest.

It was the first time Fran had seen Ivan in such a state.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't worry, it's Grindelwald's blood!" Ivan snapped out of his thoughts and saw the blood on his chest. He immediately pointed at Grindelwald and comforted him with a smile.

Flun looked down and saw that Grindelwald's body had a gaping hole in the chest, presumably caused by the Sword in Ivan's left hand.

"Scourgify ~ (cleaning new)" Ivan asked about the casualties of the battle after gently touching his clothes with his wand.

Flan forced a smile and told him the truth. Of the four hundred wizards involved in the attack on the French Ministry of Magic, one hundred and thirty-seven were injured and sixty-two Aurors were killed.

Nearly half of them died!

Ivan couldn't help but frown, but he quickly relaxed. He had expected to suffer heavy casualties when he made the decision to storm the French Ministry of Magic.

After all, this was not like the attack on the British Ministry of Magic, where there was no one on the inside to remove the many protective enchantments, and Grindelwald was a difficult opponent to deal with.

As a result, the Aurors were forced to engage the ferocious and geographically advantageous Saints head-on, and casualties were naturally high.

"By the way, President Harls, we also found the Masters who disappeared in the French Ministry of Magic more than six months ago," Flan reminded him.

Ivan was more or less surprised. After searching his memory, he immediately recalled the incident.

"Did you find out what Grindelwald was after them for?" Yvonne asked curiously.

"Grindelwald is trying to…" Flan began, but then she realized that she might have to keep it a secret, and her face grew serious. "Come with me anyway… I'll explain as we go."

"Okay!" Ivan agreed with a nod of his head.

They left the Department of Mysteries and walked down two corridors before entering a heavily guarded room.

Yvonne looked around the room. It looked like a hospital, with hundreds of beds, all of which had been tied up with magical ropes.

It was only then that Flun spoke with great caution. "Grindelwald wanted these potioneers to develop potions that would make Muggles wizards!"
