Wooden table legs grew sharp claws, metal clock pendulums turned into fangs, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of grey wolves were born from various objects.
They let out low growls, their eyes glowing eerily, and rushed out the door together.
"What—"
The Unspeakable outside the door couldn't finish his sentence before he was engulfed by the surging pack of wolves.
Each person was surrounded by at least five or six grey wolves, their sharp claws tearing at robes, their fangs biting at arms.
These Transfigured creations felt no pain; if one was shattered, several others immediately took its place.
"This is Transfiguration? How are there so many?"
"Is the intruder not just one person?"
"What are the people upstairs doing, letting so many people sneak into the ninth floor unnoticed!"
The Unspeakables couldn't bother with Charlie in the room; they could only deal with the wolf pack before them.
Charlie seized the chaos to flash out from behind the door, his invisibility cloak concealing his figure, his wand tracing an arc in the air.
Innumerable Stunning Spells erupted from the tip of his wand, covering the entire circular hall like a torrential downpour.
When poor, strike precisely; when rich, cover saturatedly.
The Unspeakables still entangled with the grey wolves couldn't dodge at all, falling one after another.
Some tried to cast a Shield Charm, but the dense Spells directly penetrated the protection, knocking them unconscious to the ground.
In less than five seconds, over a dozen Unspeakables were all down.
The grey wolves lost their targets, wandered around the hall for a few circles, and eventually turned into piles of sawdust and metal fragments, scattered across the floor.
All the Unspeakables were knocked down, but Charlie knew the matter was far from over.
The Ministry of Magic's alarm was still sounding, red lights flashing continuously. People from the upper floors would quickly gather, and it wouldn't be long before he was cornered here.
Charlie didn't hesitate, raising his wand from a distance, aiming at the black door of the Department of Mysteries.
"Confringo!"
He held nothing back, channeling his magic into his wand at maximum power.
The wand even trembled with excitement from being completely filled.
Boom—
A terrifying red light flashed, the black door was instantly blown to pieces, the entire ninth floor trembled violently, the torches on the walls were completely extinguished, and the aftershock scattered them. Cracks appeared in the ceiling, and rubble rained down.
Charlie, enduring the aftershock of the explosion, rushed to the elevator shaft.
He cast a flying Spell on himself, and his body immediately rose into the air, rapidly ascending along the elevator shaft.
This flying Spell wasn't any special incantation, just a variation of the Levitation Charm.
However, very few people could achieve this.
Along the way, Charlie saw people jumping down from every floor.
Those Wizards in Ministry of Magic uniforms, one by one, whizzed past him, their faces filled with anxiety and anger.
"Quick! Something happened on the ninth floor!"
"Damn it, who dares to break into the Department of Mysteries?"
"Where are the Aurors? Where are the Aurors?"
Under the cover of the invisibility cloak, Charlie swept past them like a gust of wind.
Normally, such rapid movement, even while invisible, would reveal clues.
But now, a violent explosion had just occurred on the ninth floor, and everyone was rushing downwards, so even if someone noticed something, they would only take it as airflow caused by the explosion, or a collision from colleagues rushing.
Charlie quickly headed to the first floor.
The chaos in the elevator shaft made his movements even smoother; no one noticed an invisible person moving against the flow.
Finally, Charlie burst out of the elevator shaft and landed on the marble floor of the first floor.
The main hall was now in disarray.
Several Wizards on night duty were frantically running to the lower floors, and others were using their wands to send out emergency notifications.
Charlie didn't stop, heading directly for the elevator leaving the Ministry of Magic.
At that moment, a hurried voice came from deep within the elevator shaft.
"Wait! Everyone, attention!"
An older Auror gripped the edge of the elevator shaft, shouting down.
"The intruder likely used invisibility magic! Everyone immediately put on anti-invisibility devices!"
"Activate the anti-invisibility magic array immediately!" another voice rang out.
"Damn it, why did we only think of it now!"
Confused footsteps echoed on every floor; some began rummaging through lockers, searching for anti-invisibility gear.
Charlie couldn't help but sigh, there were still smart people in the Ministry of Magic. The explosion had just happened, and they had realized the problem of invisible infiltration so quickly.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Charlie had already boarded the elevator leaving the Ministry of Magic.
It must be said, Harry's invisibility cloak was truly effective.
Without detection devices, as long as he didn't make contact with anyone, there wasn't a single flaw.
The elevator doors slowly closed behind him.
In the ground floor lobby, a Wizard suddenly froze; he watched the elevator doors close, but the elevator was empty.
"Who is it? Who's in the elevator!"
His shout instantly drew the attention of others.
"Quick! Lock down the elevator!"
"Don't let him escape!"
Several Wizards rushed to the elevator, their wands aimed at the ascending elevator shaft.
Charlie smiled faintly. Locking down the elevator was also too late. As soon as he was outside the Ministry of Magic's range, he could Apparate away.
"Click."
The elevator stopped at the ground level.
Charlie stepped out of the telephone booth, about to Apparate, when a steady voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Don't move, kid."
Charlie's movements paused.
"Leaving the Ministry of Magic wrapped in an invisibility cloak at this time is highly suspicious," the voice continued.
"Take off the invisibility cloak and let me see who you are."
