"Dumbledore, why? Why do you always ruin my good deeds! Forget it... Today, I will make you pay the price!"

In the dark and confusing shadows, the entire outline of the tall boy who seemed to be able to control the basilisk was blurred with anger, which was very strange.

The basilisk, which was also slithering in the darkness, vaguely revealed its terrifying fangs to everyone.

Seeing that the basilisk was about to reveal its pair of snake eyes, Geralt closed his eyes tightly and then reminded everyone:

"Everyone, close your eyes! Looking directly into the eyes of the basilisk will kill you!"

However, the Hogwarts professors, who had extensive knowledge, seemed to have closed their eyes long before Geralt opened his mouth to remind them.

Even Professor Snape, who was sinister and venomous, still had the time to mock Geralt's well-intentioned advice at this time.

"You don't need to tell us that we know it, our kind Mr. Demon Hunter. I think the professor who is also the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this semester is me, not you!"

"Hey! It's already here, can we stop bickering?" After hearing Gu Xiaoheng's dissuasion, Snape snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Next to him, Dumbledore, who had been silent since he entered the secret room, shook his shoulders at this moment, raised his arms and released the phoenix Fawkes standing on his shoulders.

"Fox, go ahead!"

Then everyone heard the sound of Fox spreading his wings and taking off, and a crisp phoenix cry appeared in everyone's ears.

Gu Xiaoheng could almost feel the various swiping sounds of the phoenix Fox flying in the air and circling the basilisk. This could be proven by the popping sounds of stone pillars being smashed by the basilisk's tail from time to time.

However, this feeling of not being able to open his eyes when facing a monster made him uncomfortable. Thinking of a special talent he had just activated not long ago, Gu Xiaoheng seemed to have made up his mind.

He stepped forward quickly and took back the Frostmourne and Nirvana wands previously held in his hand into the player's backpack.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoheng was the only one among the crowd who did not retreat but advanced, the tall boy who controlled the basilisk in the shadows angrily gave new orders to the basilisk like an enraged lion. He opened his mouth and let out a snake message.

Hissing sound:

"Ignore the broken phoenix, lock it with your eyes and kill the human who is leading the charge!"

The enemy was using the language ability "Parseltongue" to communicate with snakes - upon hearing this strange but familiar hissing sound, this idea suddenly popped into Gu Xiaoheng's mind.

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Xiaoheng opened his eyes just a tiny bit, and then looked straight ahead bravely and fearlessly.

The next second, he finally got a glimpse of the terrifying full picture of the "basilisk", a twisted creation spawned by black magic in legend.

The basilisk's body is green and glowing with the unique bright light of poisonous snakes. The strong snake body is even as thick as those ancient oak trees that dominate the entire forest - you know, the ancient oak trees are usually sacred objects cultivated by the wood elves.

, its stoutness is comparable to the desperate Great Wall deputy fortress in a narrow mountainous area.

What frightened the witnesses even more was the basilisk's fangs, which were as thin and long as sabers. With Gu Xiaoheng's small body, it seemed that the basilisk could swallow ten of them without any difficulty!

Under the fierce sprint of the basilisk, Gu Xiaoheng was caught off guard and met its eyes with a pair of yellow snake eyes as big as light bulbs.

1 second, 2 seconds... Just when the basilisk, which didn't have much wisdom left, was puzzled and prepared to open its bloody mouth to attack, its controller, the tall boy, was heard roaring hysterically:

"Impossible, no one can make eye contact with a basilisk and still be safe! As a human, how can He De be that exception? How dare you?!"

Gu Xiaoheng just smiled and saw the tall boy opposite him yelling incompetently and furiously. In the corner where no one was paying attention, the whites of his pupils quickly turned into pitch black like white cloth stained with ink.

When he spoke again, his voice had become extremely deep.

"In order to defeat monsters, we sometimes have to temporarily transform into monsters. You said it yourself, no one can resist the death sight of the basilisk. But my existence is sometimes not human!"

As Gu Xiaoheng's last byte sounded, a dark substance like fluid oil clung to his body.

A large-scale unnatural magical storm suddenly broke out with him as the center.

In the face of this powerful magical power, even the basilisk wearing tough scales and snake skin dare not face its edge.

Countless amounts of dark matter moved according to Gu Xiaoheng's will, who had transformed into Silence at this moment, and attacked and killed the basilisk that was just around the corner.

Almost at the same time, Fox, the phoenix that had been hovering in the sky, finally found an opportunity. It swooped down and stabbed its long golden beak while Gu Xiaoheng tore off a piece of snake skin from the basilisk.

Entered the basilisk's eyes.

The Phoenix tore hard, and a stream of black blood splashed from its eye sockets to the ground along with the wailing basilisk.

Suffering such a heavy blow, the basilisk's tail hit the stone pillars nearby because of the pain of losing its eyes.

When the basilisk turned its head again, Gu Xiaoheng, who was in the form of Obscurus, met its eyes. In other words, the basilisk once had the position of snake pupil. At this moment, both big eyes of the basilisk were pecked by the phoenix.

Blind.

Black blood spurted to the ground, and the basilisk grunted in pain.

"Professor, Fox successfully pecked out the eyes of the basilisk. Everyone can open your eyes!" After freeing Dumbledore and others' fighting power, Gu Xiaoheng turned to the basilisk and shouted viciously: "Try this, big snake!

"

It comes with a blow called "Grasp of Immortality" that gives 4% of the maximum health in the Obscurus form, and hits the Basilisk with a fierce green magic light.

However, just as Gu Xiaoheng expected from the beginning, the huge basilisk only lost a few pieces of blood after receiving this blow.

Even so, Gu Xiaoheng's massive blow still aroused the astonishment of the professors behind him.

In other words, it was his current form that scared the professors.

"Obscura, how could this happen?!" I witnessed with my own eyes an Obscurus host that seemed to be able to control its own behavior, and Gu Xiaoheng's age had obviously exceeded the age limit of "Obscura host will not live past 10 years old" by more than twice

, Professor McGonagall only expressed surprise in her words.

In fact, to the professors whose combat prowess was terrifying, the blind basilisk was no longer a threat at all.

All the professors, including Snape, had now turned their attention to Gu Xiaoheng - they were thinking about how Gu Xiaoheng managed to control the forbidden power of Obscurus...

"Professor Dumbledore, it seems that you are not surprised that eternity is an Obscurus?" When facing Dumbledore, Snape spoke in a more respectful tone.

"I can't say I'm not surprised, but I think it's better to help Mr. Eternal first. With his magic power reserves, he won't be able to last long in Obscurus' state!"

After calmly responding to Snape's question, Dumbledore raised the Elder Wand in his hand and pointed it at the basilisk that was fighting with Gu Xiaoheng.

A dazzling silver glow emitted from the tip of the Elder Wand.

In an instant, Gu Xiaoheng felt that the concentration of magic power around him had become extremely viscous, as if Dumbledore's attack had naturally absorbed and attracted all the magic elements around him.

Such a "plain and unpretentious" move, but it was not ordinary at all when it finally hit the basilisk.

Because after just suffering an ordinary and mundane curse from Dumbledore that was as ordinary as an "A", the basilisk's terrifyingly thick and long health bar dropped to 0!

With one move, a blood-cow BOSS like the Basilisk can be instantly killed!

boom--

As the ferocious snake head of the basilisk dropped weakly to the floor, the entire snake body also collapsed next to the stone pillar as if it lost control as its owner's vitality disappeared.

"No!" At this moment, everyone could see that the tall boy who had always boasted about controlling the basilisk was completely crazy and yelling in the shadows.

"Fluorescence." Professor McGonagall, who couldn't wait to see the true face of the murderer in the secret room, cast a fluorescent spell, and most of the shadows in the entire secret room disappeared in an instant.

The darkness dissipated, revealing the mastermind who had been controlling the Basilisk since everyone entered the secret room - the tall boy who spoke Parseltongue. He had black hair and a pale face but was very handsome.

It's just that at this moment, dominated by the emotion called anger, this handsome face has been destroyed a lot of beauty, greatly reducing its appearance.

Seeing the boy's true appearance, the professors at Hogwarts had different reactions.

The eyes behind Dumbledore's glasses exuded a "Sure enough" light, and Professor McGonagall took a breath of air. Snape seemed to be greatly stimulated and almost activated the wand to throw out the spell, leaving only Flitwick.

He was confused and waited for everyone to explain to him.

"He shouldn't be here!" Looking at the person in front of him who shouldn't be in the secret room, Professor McGonagall shook her head in disbelief.

"Who is this boy? Professor Dumbledore." Geralt finally found the opportunity to ask this question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"Tom Riddle, a figure widely rumored to have been dead for many years in the wizarding world. His other name is more well-known by people -"

Before Snape could hesitate to say the name, Dumbledore pronounced it for him: "Voldemort!"

Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore looked thoughtfully at the notebook placed on the ground behind Tom Riddle, who was already in a state of being gone.

Almost at the same time, Gu Xiaoheng, who was in the silent state, waved the remnant soul of Tom Riddle, who had no ability to resist, and handed it to Dumbledore along with the notebook where he was hiding.

"Everyone," all the professors' eyes immediately turned to Dumbledore, "I think the students in Hogwarts Castle have the right to be informed of the good news that the monster in the secret room has been killed. As for this notebook, I

It needs to be destroyed immediately!"

With the silver light of the Elder Wand flashing, the roaring remnant soul of Tom Riddle (Voldemort) instantly burned to ashes along with the notebook.

.....

"The monster in the secret room has been eliminated! Repeat, the monster in the secret room has been eliminated! The ban on all colleges will be lifted immediately from now on, and all students can participate in all academic activities and extracurricular activities as normal!"

The news that the secret room threat was successfully solved by the professors spread throughout the castle almost immediately.

Harry swore that he had seen the enthusiastic celebrations of the young wizards in Gryffindor House before. But today, the celebration atmosphere in the Gryffindor House common room was unprecedentedly lively.

I don’t know which senior student started it, but the little wizards set off all kinds of fireworks and firecrackers in the lounge one by one. Countless small cakes, jelly, and juice were all filled with them.

All the dessert plates available for everyone.

It was during this joyful celebration that Harry, who was drinking juice with Bran who was sitting on the sofa to recuperate, suddenly heard an exclamation coming from behind him.

"Harry, you... behind you! Be careful!" Bran and Ron, who were sitting opposite Harry, had their eyes widened in fear.

At the same time, Harry, who had no time to look back to see what had happened, could only see in horror that the Direwolf Guards protecting Bran had drawn out the long swords at their waists with ugly expressions on their faces, and were preparing to deal with the "those" behind him.

enemy".

Accompanied by the sound of turbulent waves swirling in the water, Harry turned his head and finally saw the culprit that caused the other little wizards to scream - a water elemental lord with a terrifying cold air all over his body, roaring towards him.

Bran is coming from behind!

The surging water elemental lord turned into a puddle of water almost as soon as he appeared, and passed by the two direwolf guards who blocked his attack path. Harry could even feel the water that was enough to make him drown.

The deterrent of the elements is at your fingertips.

At the critical moment, the man in black robe, who had been slumped on the sofa beside him like a puppet, finally raised his head.

With the instant burst of Frostmourne's own clone and body position replacement skills, Gu Xiaoheng's figure appeared here across two floors in an instant!

Facing the face of the water element lord opposite who looked naive and confused about the situation, Gu Xiaoheng became arrogant in a rare moment.
Chapter completed!
