Inside the room, Arthur had already discovered Michael when the injured Michael crawled in.
To his surprise, his House-elf, Baru, had not warned him. This indicated that something had happened to Baru, and the injured person hadn't randomly chosen this house, but had come with a premeditated plan.
Someone was targeting the Delacour family, or perhaps him. Of course, Arthur also knew that it was more likely they were coming for him.
Moreover, the opponent's forces were not small; at least there was a powerful Wizard who could silently eliminate a House-elf in an instant.
House-elves are not weak, and their small size makes them difficult to hit with Charms.
The person hiding in the shadows, making a move against him, was probably an elite even among Aurors.
Knowing the current danger, Arthur immediately had Fleur wake up Gabrielle, who was sleeping, and brought them both to a room with a better strategic location.
The room was at the end of the third-floor corridor. By sealing the doors and windows, they could prevent other enemies from launching a sneak attack.
After arriving in the room, Fleur began Transfiguring some of the furniture.
Although Arthur was a rare genius, Fleur was no slouch. She was consistently first in her grade at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and even Wizards two or three grades above her might not be stronger than her.
Currently, her skill in Transfiguration was much stronger than Arthur's.

She wielded her wand, moving her hand up and down, and all the furniture transformed into planks that covered the windows.
The floor, walls, and other areas also had their materials temporarily altered by her Transfiguration, making them harder.
Fortunately, Fleur was already 16 years old, and after years of rapid development, her magical reserves were substantial. Even so, after completing these preparations, she leaned against the wall, exhausted.
Arthur, meanwhile, Transfigured some furniture into spikes and arranged them at the main entrance, using them as defensive measures.
After preparing, he raised his wand and sent a red light into the sky, to notify other Wizards in Paris.
This action clearly attracted the attention of the surrounding Vampires.
These Vampires no longer waited for their companions but directly rushed into the house where Arthur and the two girls were.
Their target, Michael, was now slowly crawling to the first floor, hiding behind a sofa.
The Vampires found him without much effort.
"F..K!" Michael cursed under his breath, then said to the leader of the group of Vampires: "I'm Lucy's man, she's a Death Walker, we're the same kind, brother."
Death Walkers are a special unit formed by Vampires, whose usual task is to eliminate Werewolves. They are somewhat similar to the Wizards' Aurors, both being teams composed of selected strong individuals.
"Heh heh, Lucy that bitch's man? You might not know, but because she failed to keep an eye on you, she's now been imprisoned by the Elders."
The Vampire leading the group smiled and continued to mock: "Actually, even if Lucy hadn't been locked up, you wouldn't escape. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kleine, I'm from the Council, one level higher than the Death Walkers."
Vampire society is very formal, and its organization is very strict. The supreme rulers of the Vampires are the three Elders.
The Grand Elder is Alexander Corvinus's son, the progenitor of modern Vampires, Marcus. However, due to issues with his lifespan, he has always been in a state of slumber. Usually, the other two Elders are responsible.
Below the three Elders is the Council, which is the administrative body of the Vampires. The Death Walkers are the enforcement agency under it.
Below that are ordinary Vampires and the bloodline.
This clearly stratified structure of Vampires gave them a great advantage when dealing with Werewolves.
Upon hearing that the other party was from the Council, Michael despaired. Having spent some time in the Vampire camp, he knew that he had no chance of surviving now.
What he would face next would probably be endless experiments, being treated like a guinea pig. Because of his special physique, he might not even be able to die.
After tying up Michael, Kleine couldn't stop smiling and burst into laughter.
He was now the top existence within the VampireCouncil. By capturing this monster who could possess both Vampire and Werewolf traits, he might even become the next Elder.
At this moment, one of his subordinate Vampires said: "Boss, there are three more people on the third floor. They seem to be Wizards, and our people didn't dare to go in."
"Hmph! Wizards, they've suppressed us for so many years. Now that we have Michael, they won't be able to suppress us anymore. Once we understand why Michael can absorb Werewolf bloodlines, then we'll directly turn all of Paris into a Vampire city. Why would we be afraid of these three Wizards? Go, infect all of them, let these Wizards experience what it feels like to become slaves like the bloodline."
Kleine grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, finally giving that subordinate Vampire a hard slap and leading his people upstairs himself.
Hundreds of meters away, Grindelwald also withdrew his wand at this moment. He had added a little something to the Vampire leader just now, making him more prone to rage.
On the third floor, Arthur, hearing the commotion below, could sense the arrival of the Vampires.
He took out a small fragment of the Philosopher's Stone and sighed.
Last time, when dealing with the Vampire ProfessorBernhard, he used a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone because he was afraid his magic would not be enough.
Afterward, he realized that it was somewhat wasted; Bernhard, that Vampire, simply wasn't worthy.
That's why he only took out a small one now.
But this made him very heartbroken and a bit depressed.
In less than half a month, he would have consumed two fragments of the Philosopher's Stone. This feeling of insufficient magic was truly a bit stifling for him.
Arthur, holding his wand in his left hand and the Philosopher's Stone fragment in his right, shielded Fleur and Gabrielle behind him.
Seeing this, Fleur quickly grabbed Arthur, saying anxiously: "Arthur, we are Wizards, Vampires might not dare to attack us. If they do attack us, then you take Gabrielle and escape, and I'll hold them off here."
In her eyes, although Arthur had always acted like a little adult since childhood, physically he was still three years younger than her.
For Little Wizards, three years makes a big difference. It often translates into a world of difference in strength.
Arthur turned and hugged her, "Don't worry, trust me, Fleur. You know me, I wouldn't do something I'm not confident about."
As he spoke, he raised his wand and began to summon a Unicorn-shaped Soul Guardian.
Last time, using the Thunder Giant to deal with Bernhard was overkill; after the instant kill, the remaining magic had nowhere to go and could only dissipate into the air.
This time, facing a larger number of enemies, he planned to use the Unicorn, which consumes less magic, to deal with this group of Vampires.
