The basilisk appeared from behind Bernie, and Lockhart also formed a piece of black cloth to cover his eyes, so that he did not dare to look at the basilisk. However, his fighting ability was greatly reduced.
"Kill him." A look of murderous intent appeared on Bernie Selwyn's chubby face, and he ordered the Basilisk in Parseltongue.
Lockhart heard the sound of breaking through the air in front of him, and felt miserable in his heart.
He knew that Bernie Selwyn could speak Parseltongue, but he didn't expect that he could control the Basilisk and make this behemoth that had been sleeping underground for hundreds of years become his thug.
This is definitely not good news. It is not a big problem to deal with the basilisk at Lockhart's level, but adding Bernie Selwyn is a bit troublesome. It would be fine if he is an ordinary student, but he will be attacked from time to time.
Under the influence of the diary, the spell cast is strange and powerful.
The situation was urgent. After hearing Harry's Parselmouth voice, the stone wall parted to both sides, revealing the dark and boundless tunnel ahead.
"Professor Lockhart, follow us quickly!" Harry did not dare to look back, fearing that the basilisk's eyes would be staring at him.
"You go first!" Lockhart hurriedly dodged the thick snake's tail, "I'll be right back!"
"Still want to leave?" Bernie said in an arrogant tone and waved his fat hand, "Today all of you will stay in the secret room forever!"
"Professor McGonagall!" Harry looked forward across the stone door. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were coming here. Leading the way was Joel's patron saint raven.
"Potter!" Professor McGonagall shouted.
Bernie snorted coldly and hissed in his mouth. After hearing Bernie's order, the two little snakes on the stone wall immediately moved closer to the middle, so fast that no one could react in time.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the stone wall closed again, leaving not even a single gap.
"Open!" Harry was so anxious that he quickly gave the order in Parseltongue, but this time the two little snakes remained motionless and didn't seem to hear him.
"Hahahaha," Bernie laughed, "They won't listen to you, Potter! I am the recognized heir of Slytherin!"
"Damn it..." Lockhart saw this scene and knew that something was about to happen. He twisted his waist and raised most of the magic power in his body, "Thunderbolt explosion!"
The strong purple light almost blinded everyone's eyes, and the spell hit the basilisk's thick body hard, piercing through its thick scales and leaving a bloody mess on its body.
The basilisk hissed crazily when it was in pain, twisted its body violently, and its tail hit the stone pillar in the secret room, knocking down a cloud of dust and gravel.
Bernie continued to make hissing sounds from his mouth and ordered the basilisk to continue attacking without stopping.
"What to do now?" Harry leaned against the stone wall and could feel the slight vibration of the stone wall. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick tried their best to break in outside the wall. Unfortunately, Slytherin built this at the time.
All precautions had been taken when he entered the Chamber of Secrets, and the spell he arranged was so powerful that Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were still not enough in front of Slytherin, one of the four founders.
Joel gently put Haylis down.
"Take care of her for me." He said to Ron and Harry, pulled off the black cloth on his forehead, turned around, pulled out his wand and rushed towards the basilisk. He and Lockhart were the only ones in this secret room.
To fight, the two must join forces.
"Armor for protection!" Joel saw that the basilisk's huge body was about to hit the unprepared Lockhart, and he quickly shouted a spell.
A transparent barrier lay between a person and a snake. The basilisk was extremely powerful, and even the Iron Armor Curse could not stop its momentum. The basilisk's attack was shattered into pieces after a slight delay. Lockhart seized the opportunity and ducked to avoid the attack.
The two of them stood apart, one on the left and one on the right, and the spells hit the basilisk like a violent storm.
The basilisk has a certain degree of magic immunity, but it still cannot block such a dense spell. Its scales were penetrated layer by layer by the spell, hitting its thick skin.
The basilisk twisted its body more and more impatiently. It had never experienced such pain in thousands of years since it hatched from a rooster egg (yes, a rooster egg, an egg-laying rooster, a fighting chicken among roosters).
This made it panic, but it still carefully looked after Bernie Selwyn beside it. This was an old friend it met 50 years ago. Although he had changed his skin now, it still remembered him, except for Sarah.
Racha, this is the only human being who communicates with it.
"Use your fangs!" Bernie snapped. At this time, Riddle's diary had taken control of Bernie's body, and Parseltongue came out of his mouth without any problems.
The basilisk always obeyed his orders and aimed at Joel with its huge head. In its opinion, this young human was easier to deal with.
"Flocks of birds!" Joel looked at the rapidly enlarging fangs in his sight, and without conserving his own strength, he used his favorite transformation spell, and the gravel flying in the air turned into ravens.
Then Joel transformed into an Animagus form and blended into a flock of ravens. The birds were flying around in the secret room, and it was difficult to distinguish the true and false identities.
"Is this human transfiguration?" Harry and Ron could see the battlefield situation from the corner of their eyes, but the basilisk didn't pay attention to them at all.
"It's Animagus," Haylis covered her belly and leaned against the stone wall with a smile on her lips, "He's even better than I thought."
The snake's head hit the ground hard and fell into the air. The furious basilisk turned to attack Lockhart under Bernie's command.
A raven stopped at the edge of the stone pillar and turned back into a human form. It was Joel. The wand in his hand kept casting spells, and the colorful spells hit the scales of the basilisk.
The basilisk was in pain, and Lockhart used the Iron Armor Curse to block the attack, and used the remaining power of the shock wave to retreat to a safe area.
The basilisk attacked Joel again on the stone pillar. He transformed into a raven again and mixed with other transfiguration ravens hovering in the air. When he dispersed again, it was difficult to find him.
"Bastard!" Bernie was furious. He didn't expect that this boy with a handsome appearance and a soul as good as his own would be as slippery as a loach, and the basilisk couldn't hit his body at all.
I didn't expect to have to do it myself.
Bernie, or rather Tom Riddle, who had taken control of Bernie's body, took out the wand with his remaining arm.
"Cut out the bones!" He pointed the tip of his staff at Lockhart.
His memory only lasted until he was 16 years old, but by this time he had mastered hundreds of black magic spells, each of which was extremely cruel and terrifying.
The basilisk's extremely huge body gave Lockhart no room to escape the spell. This place was still judged to be within Hogwarts, and anti-Apparition restrictions shrouded the secret room. Lockhart had no way to avoid it, so he avoided the snake.
The monster's fangs were hit by the Cruciatus Curse shot by Bernie.
He was pushed against the wall by a huge force, and then pain swept through his body, breaking his bones one by one. He twisted his body and rolled on the ground, tearing his lilac robe with both hands, but to no avail. He collapsed on the
He was dying on the ground, his chest heaving violently.
Bernie laughed arrogantly. Lockhart, as the only adult wizard in the Chamber of Secrets, had lost his fighting ability. Now he only faced four and a half-year-old children, so he was not afraid at all.
"Professor Lockhart!" Harry and Ron screamed. Professor Lockhart had previously offered to help them escape, but now they felt deeply guilty for their previous thoughts.
Haylis tightened her grip on the wand in her hand, and Professor Lockhart fell down. Will Joel be next?
She took two deep breaths and climbed up.
"Selwyn..." Ron stepped forward to help, but Haylis waved her hand to refuse.
"You two are facing the stone wall and continue to use Parseltongue to order the stone wall to open," Haylis said in a tone that could not be criticized. "Don't focus on the frontal battlefield."
"you……"
Before Harry could finish speaking, Haylis had already pulled down the black cloth and rushed forward with her wand.
Joel's Animagus form determines that he is suitable for harassing in a roundabout way. After Lockhart falls, someone must support him from the front. Haylis doesn't think Ron is stronger than him - and Harry has to use a snake.
Laoqiang tried to open the stone wall, and she had to step forward and take up the important task.
Joel re-incarnated into a human in mid-air on the side of the basilisk. He threw out two spells with his wand, one of which hit the basilisk's eye socket with great accuracy. With a howl, the basilisk became extremely manic, shaking its head and left eye.
The eye sockets were already bloody.
The spell threw out Joel's body, which continued to fall under the influence of gravity. He used the little magic power left in his body to transform into a raven again, flapped his wings and soared upwards, disappearing from the sight of the Basilisk and Bernie again.
"Where's that Potter?" Bernie laughed wildly as he looked at Hailes holding her wound and staggering around. Her voice was shrill and harsh. Hailes had never heard such a weird laughter from her brother, "Gryffin
Are you all such cowards? You actually send a weak and injured person to fight against the basilisk!"
But he did not stop the spell in his hand, and struck Haylis with a slashing spell from a tricky angle. The basilisk was now so painful that it lost its mind. It raised its head and hunted ravens in the air. It insisted on killing the buzzing creature.
Kill the buzzing flies.
Haylis heard the sound of breaking through the air in front of her. She held the wand in her right hand and cast the Iron Armor spell. With her left hand, she quietly spread the magic power into the stone slabs and arranged plant traps.
The Sword Slashing Curse hit the Iron Armor Curse barrier and undoubtedly shattered it, but that was all.
Bernie, who was manipulated by Riddle, was secretly upset. Not only was his body too bloated, making it difficult to move, but his magic power was also extremely poor. If he had a slightly higher magic power, this slashing curse would be able to hit Haylis.
Joel transformed in the air again, and hit the Basilisk with two more spells. Its body was so huge that Joel looked no different from a target in mid-air. However, although the Basilisk screamed in pain repeatedly,
It has rough skin and thick flesh, and these spells cannot deal a devastating blow to it.
He turned back into a raven again and saw Haylis staggering on the stone slab. After blindfolding her eyes, she couldn't see the surrounding situation at all. She moved cautiously and almost tripped over the stones scattered on the ground. Joel couldn't help but feel
Feeling anxious, he was worried about Haylis's safety.
He must get rid of the basilisk as soon as possible.
Joel spread his wings, tilted downwards, and headed towards the basilisk's head.
The basilisk turned its head, trying to glare at Joel with its remaining eyeball, but it moved too nimbly after transforming into a raven, and its half-year flying skills were not in vain. When it was prepared, the basilisk's glare
I don't think it poses much of a threat to him.
The basilisk raised its head and wanted to swallow Joel in one gulp, but Joel was already prepared and turned into a human directly in mid-air. He used the remaining force of his flight to hit the basilisk's head, and slashed with his right wand.
The curse struck the basilisk's remaining eye.
It let out bursts of wailing, and black blood sprayed turbulently onto the ground. It lost all vision information and shook its body violently. Joel's body lost strength at this time, and he was about to be thrown by the huge body of the basilisk.
"Armor for protection!" It was Ron, holding a wand in his hand.
Thanks to the dueling club proposed by Lockhart, Ron was able to learn a lot of new spells in monthly activities, which were much more powerful than the little curses they had used to fight with Malfoy. He heard
When Bernie said "Gryffindors are all cowards", he could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
Naturally, Gryffindors were not in the habit of hiding behind and watching the battle, let alone letting an injured man who was only one year older than themselves stand in front.
The power of the iron armor spell was not very powerful, but it successfully offset most of the force of the basilisk's swinging body. Joel was ejected and fell onto a stone pillar. His back just hit the big snake carved on the stone pillar, and there was a burning sensation.
The pain spreads up from the spine.
Fortunately, the spine was not broken. Joel clutched his back and fell to the ground. The basilisk's most powerful weapon had been eliminated, and the remaining fangs and huge body were not difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Bernie penetrated Haylis's defense with a Cruciatus Curse and hit her body.
She fell to the ground, feeling as if her internal organs had been cut open with a knife, and then strangled with force. The wound on her abdomen became more and more painful, and overwhelming pain swept over her. Her vision turned black, and there was vague blood in her mouth.
The smell comes.
But she bit her lips tightly and kept silent, not even letting out a scream. Her long fingers pressed into the gaps between the stone slabs, and her fingernails were broken due to excessive force, and dots of crimson stained the stone slabs.
"Brother..." Hailis released her teeth from biting her lower lip, and her white teeth were stained with a bit of red, "Why, why are you like this?"
Bernie was laughing arrogantly, and after hearing what Haylis said, he felt dazed for a moment.
He covered his head hard, and the little fat man finally couldn't help but wanted to jump out and fight with him for control of his body. At this moment, there were two souls entangled with each other in his body.
"Damn it, damn it!" He hammered his head hard. If this body could completely obey his orders, how could it not be able to deal with these children?
The basilisk was still rolling its body vigorously on the side, venting its anger and turning the secret room upside down.
"Kill you, just kill you," Riddle, who was trying to regain control of his body, took a few steps forward, threw himself down and strangled Haylis's throat with one hand, while holding the wand tightly with the other hand.
