As the Werewolf and Vampire activity grew, the Muggles of Paris also began to be attacked.
They might only peek out, but some disoriented Werewolves would immediately attack them.
The lucky ones died on the spot.
The unlucky ones often suffered a lifetime of torment, missing limbs.
When they were attacked by Werewolves but not transformed themselves, such injuries could not be healed after transforming into a Werewolf.
Moreover, even if they later saw the Werewolf who killed their relatives and infected them, they would not have the strength to take revenge with missing limbs.
Such attacks also broke the original balance in Paris, and the Wizards prepared to intervene, sending Aurors to capture these Werewolves.
Michael, who had been fleeing, also managed to escape the encirclement of Vampires and Werewolves through various unexpected events.
But he also discovered something: it seemed someone was helping him, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped so smoothly.
His conjecture was correct; someone was indeed helping him. The person helping him was even the leader of the Werewolves pursuing him, Lucien.
Werewolves, according to their origin, were divided into two factions: Wizard and ordinary Werewolves. Lucien was the leader of the ordinary Werewolves.
He stood on a tall building, watching Michael escape into the distance with his own eyes.
Beside him was a Wizard hidden under a black robe, holding a wand and standing with Lucien.
Lucien glanced at the Wizard and said coldly, "After this, it will have nothing to do with the Werewolves. In this operation, many of my compatriots will be imprisoned or killed. I hope your boss will keep his promise to me."
The Wizard did not back down, his tone slightly mocking, "You've gained tangible benefits from this cooperation; don't play the victim here."
"Hmph! Although I don't know what your goal is, you Wizards are not ones to pity us Werewolves."
After speaking, Lucien turned and leaped into a dark alley, departing without a sound.
The Wizard watched Michael leaving in front, then looked at the Vampires chasing him from afar, and waved his wand.
Michael's right leg suddenly exploded, halting his escape, and he howled as he fell to the ground, then immediately stopped his cries, his lips almost bitten off.
Even though he could now be considered a hybrid of Vampire and Werewolf, such a broken leg injury would take at least a month to recover, even with his post-transformation healing ability.
Now, with countless Vampire pursuers behind him, they wouldn't wait a month to capture him.
Moreover, he didn't even know who had attacked him just now.
Given the suddenness of the attack, the most likely culprit was a Wizard, as only a Wizard could deliver such a direct leg-shattering attack.
He knew that with a broken leg, he stood no chance against a Wizard.
So Michael lay on the ground, waiting for the Wizardto capture him. But after waiting for a while, he found that no Wizard or other magical creature came to capture him.
He was very curious about what had just happened, but his nose had already caught the scent of Vampires approaching from a distance.
Having no other option, he could only quickly deal with his broken leg, dig a pit to cover it with soil, then wrap his wound with clothes and crawl into a nearby house.
Unable to escape, he could only hope this method would allow him to evade capture by Vampires and Werewolves.
The black-robed Wizard in the distance smiled, took out a mirror, and looking at the young Grindelwald in the mirror, said excitedly, "Sir, I have completed the mission. Michael has entered the target house."
Then he waved his wand again and left.
This matter with Michael was actually a collaboration between the Wizarding Supremacist Party and the Werewolves.
Half a month ago, Michael had already been captured by them. They were very curious about this Vampireand Werewolf hybrid, so they caught him and studied him for a few days, but without much success.
Because the Wizarding Supremacist Party's power was now much weaker than before; apart from Grindelwald, their pillar, the other old-timers were not as energetic, and the young people in the organization had not yet matured.
So, after Grindelwald learned of Arthur's arrival in Paris, he directly took a portion of Michael's flesh and bones, then handed Michael over to the Werewolves, drawing a large amount of his blood in exchange for the Werewolves' help in executing this plan.
Constant blood drawing for half a month; to be honest, if it weren't for Michael's good physique, he would have died long ago.
And after releasing him, the Wizard also erased his memory, making him believe that he had been on the run all this time.
Michael, the tool, also completed this task very well, hiding himself in the house where Arthur was.
On the other side, Grindelwald, having received the intelligence, also went directly to a nearby hotel, observing the situation from above.
Arthur was someone he favored, but Arthur was still too young.
Time was not waiting; Muggle technology was changing year by year, and now almost all major nations' armies had confirmed the existence of Wizards and had tracked some of their movements.
With the advancement and dissemination of that technology, soon some ordinary Muggles would also know of their Wizard existence.
For his future plans, he needed Arthur to grow quickly, preferably to be exposed to the Wizarding World's attention now.
He knew that the little girl from the Delacour familywas Arthur's childhood friend. To protect important people, Arthur could only use the magic he used against Bernhard to deal with those Vampires.
Currently, there were thirty-six Vampires within a one-kilometer radius, and as the battle progressed, more Vampires would arrive.
At that time, he wanted to see what Dumbledorewould do when Arthur was forced to use the dark magic he observed on Bernhard's corpse.
According to the future he saw, Arthur would still be at Hogwarts and would resist that ugly, noseless Wizard. That meant Dumbledore would not treat him as the next Lord Voldemort and would increase his training.
This outcome was also what Grindelwald wanted to see.
Coupled with the Lord Voldemort who was not dead, Dumbledore would have no energy to face the current situation in the European Wizarding World.
Under Grindelwald's gaze, the Vampires gradually approached the house where Arthur was.
Although Michael's blood had been covered with soil, how could such a hasty treatment be perfect? Vampires were very sensitive to blood, and they quickly pinpointed Michael's whereabouts.
Thirty-five Vampires began to surround the house Michael had entered, calling for other Vampires from afar to rush to their location.
To ensure Arthur had to face the Vampires, Grindelwald had made other arrangements.
Lucien's earlier departure was to gather Werewolves, sending some Wizard-transformed Werewolves to cause widespread destruction elsewhere in Paris, drawing all the Ministry of Magic's attention.
Compared to Vampires who needed blood exchange to transform, Wizards were more concerned about the Werewolves' even more potent infection ability.
As for Arthur's House-elf, Grindelwald had also sent people to secretly deal with it.
He wanted Arthur's hidden Dark Arts to be exposed. These Vampires combined couldn't defeat Bernhard. Arthur, who could defeat Bernhard, would not die in this incident.
Instead, it could expose Arthur's talent and Dark Artsto the eyes of all Wizards.
This way, whether those people forced Arthur into his camp, and then he would have Arthur infiltrate Dumbledore's side, or Dumbledore cultivated Arthuras his successor, his future plans would be more likely to be realized.
