The fierce flames and powerful magical fluctuations instantly attracted the attention of the Enforcers. Seeing the fireball, which had expanded to over two meters tall, rushing towards them, the four Enforcers panicked.
"Enemy attack!" Fortunately, the many years of training came into play at this moment. Soon, someone reacted and let out a shrill cry. The others hurriedly waved their wands and pointed at the incoming fireball, creating protective barriers.
"Impediment Jinx! "
"Protegos! (armor protecting)"
…
In the next instant, the fireball slammed into the barrier, but only resisted for a moment before it was crushed. The orange fireball disintegrated, and endless light and heat spread in all directions.
The two Enforcers in front of him were sent flying, crashing heavily into a pillar behind them. The Shield Charm that had been placed on them shattered.
One of the enforcers spat out a mouthful of blood. Since the Shield Charm had saved him, he was fine.
However, the other law enforcer nearby was not so lucky. Unable to cast a protective spell in time, he was blasted into a bloody mess and died.
There was no time for the surviving enforcers to celebrate, as they all knew that the danger was not over yet!
Before the smoke from the explosion had completely dispersed, a dozen magical beams of various colors burst through the smoke, followed by several low wolf howls.
"It's those damned werewolves… Get out of here and alert the others!" The leader of the law-enforcers immediately gave the order to retreat when he sensed that there were too many enemies for them to handle, and he intended to use Apparition to escape.
However, he was clearly too slow. Ivan and the others, who had been lying low for a long time, were not going to let him go. A grayish-black werewolf had already reached him and bit the law enforcer's arm, interrupting his spell-casting.
Other law-enforcement officers were also attacked to varying degrees at once…
In just a few seconds, the four law-enforcers fell to the ground, unable to put up any decent resistance.
When the few merchants in the Wizarding Market saw this ferocious scene, they were stunned. They did not even bother to pack their belongings and fled in panic.
Ivan ignored them. His goal was to target the Wizarding Market, not these poor wizards.
"Sir Harls, what should we do with these two?" Warren and Walker asked as they each carried a living spellcaster.
"We'll see!" Ivan said, waving his hand at the two law-enforcement officers who had lost their ability to fight.
He didn't want to kill anyone if he could help it. There were few enough wizards in the wizarding world, not to mention the fact that these enforcers worked for a fee. They might not be loyal to the Norts, so he would have to wait until he had interrogated them.
Even as Ivan thought this, there was an explosion in the distance, accompanied by some shouting, and Ivan realised that Isiah and Doggett had made their move.
Ivan didn't want to waste any more time, so he ordered, "Keep four men on guard and the rest of you come in with me!"
In order to prevent the other party's subsequent reinforcements from being trapped inside, it was necessary to ensure that the exit was unobstructed.
Flan and the others nodded. This had been agreed upon earlier, and the remaining nine wizards followed Ivan into the Wizarding Market.
After knocking out the two guards inside, Ivan found himself in a wide room, where he followed the instructions on the map and turned an oil lamp.
Crack crack crack…
A wall behind them cracked and shook, opening up a passageway so narrow that only two people could walk side by side.
At the end of the passage was what appeared to be a large hall, but due to the limited visibility, it was impossible to see what was inside, and it was uncertain if anyone was guarding it.
Yvonne grabbed a brick and, without hesitation, took the lead, followed by Fran and the others.
When they were halfway there, six heavily armed Dark Wizards suddenly appeared at the end of the empty passageway. They had obviously heard the explosions outside and had set up an ambush.
If they had been in a more open area, the Dark Wizards would have fled rather than risk their lives. However, things were different now. In this narrow terrain, Ivan and the others had nowhere to hide.
"Reducto! (Crushed to pieces)"
"Avada Kedavra (Avada Kedavra)"
"Inndio! (fire roaring)"
…
Multicolored magical beams of light, including a few green ones that made one's hair stand on end, hit them.
The faces of Fran and the others changed drastically, and they were caught in a dilemma. The Obstacle Curse and the Armor Curse they cast could not stop the Killing Curse.
Ivan calmly threw out the bricks and pointed his wand.
Under the effects of both the Amplification Charm and the Transfiguration Charm, the brick rapidly expanded, and its surface began to gain a metallic lustre, as if it were a wall.
Boom!
Several charms collided with the brick wall, which, being a magical creation, was not as hard as a real wall. It exploded, sending debris flying in all directions.
