The watching Death Eaters laughed heartily at the sight of the Ministry officials begging for their lives…
Kingsley Shacklebolt and the others flushed with shame for their colleagues who had abandoned their dignity.
"My patience is limited. I will only wait until the last minute! At that point, there will be no need for those who are still standing to live!" Ivan said casually as he looked at the last dozen people standing.
Hesitation could be seen on the faces of the initially determined wizards as they considered whether to make a fearless sacrifice here, or to compromise and save their own lives for the future.
If there was still a chance of victory, they would not hesitate to fight for it. Unfortunately, they would definitely die, and their deaths would be meaningless!
Time passed, and just as Arthur and the others were about to compromise, the wall behind them exploded, sending debris flying towards the Death Eaters.
The sudden attack was unexpected, and only a few Death Eaters were able to react in time, creating a protective barrier against the debris.
In the dust of the explosion, two dozen Aurors and a large number of strange faces emerged from the tunnel.
At the same time, there was a commotion at the entrance to the meeting room. As everyone watched, Chief Pierce, who had been missing all morning, strode forward with hundreds of wizards and surrounded the Death Eaters.
"Your time has come, Dark Lord!"
Arthur and the others, who were in despair, were shocked when they saw Pierce.
They were still confused about where Pierce had been this morning and why he had suddenly arrived with so many men, but that didn't matter. The important thing was that it was time to fight back!
"Reducto ~ (Shattered to pieces)" Kingsley Shacklebolt seized the moment and initiated the fight, the spell beam striking a Death Eater before he could react, sending him sprawling.
A great battle was about to break out, and the Death Eaters, who had reacted to the situation, retaliated, but the Death Eaters, who had just escaped from prison and had been through a vicious battle, were no match for the Regulators and Aurors, not to mention that Pierce had brought more men with him!
Within moments of fighting, a dozen Death Eaters had been killed…
However, after the initial chaos, the besieged Death Eaters were able to regain their composure, as everyone knew how powerful the Dark Lord was, and that he alone could make up for the difference in numbers.
This was indeed the case. Ivan waved his wand with all his might, and one of the walls was forcefully pulled over, blocking the attacks of dozens of Enforcers. Then he waved his wand again, and several Aurors fell to the ground.
As the battle raged on, Pierce shouted again.
"What are you waiting for? Do it!"
Pearce's heart-wrenching cry stunned the Death Eaters, as well as Kingsley and the others.
Could there be another ambush?
At the same time, Malfoy, Macnair, Crabbe, and twenty other wizards turned their wands and pointed them at the Death Eaters.
"Diffindo! "
"Petrificus ~ (All petrified)"
"Avada Kedavra (Avada Kedavra)!"
… .
A torrent of hex beams struck the unsuspecting Death Eaters, and in an instant nearly a quarter of the Death Eaters were dead!
Arthur, Kingsley, and the other Death Eaters were stunned by this development, as they had never expected Lucius Malfoy and the others to suddenly turn on them.
Were they all Piers's undercover agents working for Lord Voldemort?
It was no wonder that the Chief Executive seemed to have been prepared for this and had brought a large number of people here…
The rebellion of Macnair and his fellow Death Eaters turned the tide of the battle.
Bella was the only one who managed to dodge the first wave of attacks, and when she turned to look at Malfoy and the others, she was furious.
"How dare you… how dare you betray us, Lucius!" Not knowing who had attacked her, Bella pointed her wand at Lucius Malfoy, whom she knew best, and roared with rage.
"Avada Kedavra ~"
Lucius, who had just killed one of the Death Eaters, was horrified when he saw the green light on Bella's wand, but he was too late.
Just then, a foot shot out and knocked Lucius to the ground. The green beam narrowly missed Lucius's head and crashed into the wall behind him.
Bella, distracted by her rage, was soon blown away by a nearby beam of light.
Lucius rolled on the ground twice, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. He had to cast an Armor Charm on himself to get back on his feet.
It was only then that Lucius was surprised to find out that his long-time enemy had saved his life!
"I've always hated you, Malfoy! But I must say, you've finally done something right!" Arthur Weasley exclaimed as he waved his wand to knock down a Death Eater.
"Hmph, meddling in other people's business. I don't need your help to get out of the way!" Lucius tried to defend himself, but he couldn't help but lean toward Arthur to avoid being targeted again.
Arthur Weasley didn't say anything more, instead becoming absorbed in the battle.
The sudden change in the situation caused the Dark Lord to fly into a rage. With a wave of his wand, the meeting room exploded!
However, at this point, the balance of power between the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters had been completely broken, and even the Dark Lord was powerless to stop them.
"Please do something, master!"
"Help me!"
… .
Auguste and the others wailed in agony, and the Dark Lord seemed to have been enraged.
"Enough, all of you die!" Ivan waved his wand with all his might, and in an instant, the thirty or so law-enforcers surrounding him were blown away!
However, before the Death Eaters could rejoice, Ivan suddenly turned around, his black robes flying out of the hole in the wall like black lightning.
The Dark Lord… escaped?!
Everyone present was stunned, but when they thought about it, it didn't seem too surprising. Once the Death Eaters were defeated, even the famous Dark Lord would die in the face of over two hundred wizards!
"No, master! You cannot abandon us!" August cried desperately, looking at the fleeing Lord Voldemort.
"Take me away, master, please, take me away!" Caro and her brother lay sprawled among the rubble, their heads covered in blood, unable to accept the fact that they had been so mercilessly abandoned by the Dark Lord.
The rest of the Death Eaters wailed and wailed, losing their will to fight and sinking into a deep despair…
