Chapter 348
Chapter 348
The basilisk does not actually refer to a single monster of any kind.
In the wizarding world, there are many monsters that can be called basilisks.
For example, a giant snake wearing a crown or with white spots on its head, a fierce lizard, a tall dragon, or Camilla (a monster with a chicken head and a snake body) after the charter, and of course a snake-haired monster – Medusa.
The basilisk that raged in Hogwarts is said to come from the magic egg laid by the seven-year-old rooster when Sirius was empty, and the monster hatched by the toad has the natural magic to kill what it sees.
“Guys – the eye of the monster has deadly magic, don’t look into its eyes at any time, I will call Fox to assist in the battle!”
Before entering the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore said to Hermione and Snape at the door, even Dumbledore had to be careful in the face of dangerous basilisks.
In the original book, Harry singled out the basilisk alone, which in itself is a non-magical thing, and the whole process can be said to have countless coincidences.
The basilisk’s killing method was recognized, and Harry did not meet the basilisk’s eyes from beginning to end, which is the largest of many coincidences.
You must know that during the process of running, the eyes will unconsciously observe the surroundings, and even just a glance at the eyes of the basilisk is a fatal mistake.
Coupled with Dumbledore’s assistance from Phoenix Fawkes, who is almost a natural enemy, it can be said that he restrained most of the energy of the basilisk, which gave Harry the opportunity to survive.
The basilisk who lost both eyes was finally coincidentally stabbed in the head with the Gryffindor sword directly from the upper jaw by Harry, which gave him a chance to kill with one blow, making Harry more likely to die again.
Dumbledore and Snape didn’t seem to have anything else to do but close their eyes, but Hermione once again pulled out the small bag that applied the Traceless Stretching Charm to her waist, and soon the three special blindfolds were removed.
The eye mask is the same as the swimming eye mask, which completely covers the human eye, and does not have a clear effect except for a slight limitation of the breadth of the field of view.
“This one is also specially made, and the blindfold uses a medium that can block the penetration of magic power… The deadly magic of the basilisk must also be able to be almost completely weakened, even if there is a part that passes through the blindfold, with our own magic resistance, we should be able to resist! ”
In order to allow Hermione to fight monsters and upgrade, Yuu had already prepared a full set of equipment during the summer vacation, and such an eye patch was the most basic item, and even if it was not for the fear of some shock, Hermione could even wear a full set of magic suits.
With a layer of protection, Dumbledore and Snape were more confident, and one by one they wore blindfolds and entered the Chamber of Secrets.
In addition to the pillars, the Chamber of Secrets is a stone statue leaning against the wall in the deepest part, which is the statue of Slytherin, one of the four founders of the Cadet.
However, I don’t know if it is because of the style of the statue, or if Slytherin itself is a short man, and the proportions of the statue look very incongruous.
“Inside the statue!”
Yuu’s reminder slowed down slightly, almost the next second Hermione turned her head to stare at the statue, and the collision sound from inside the statue also attracted the attention of Dumbledore and Snape.
Soon the huge statue of Slytherin opened its mouth. Ba, a huge basilisk over 20 feet in size, crawled out of the statue, seemingly sensing the invasion of the enemy who had killed the Slytherin heir, and the basilisk that should have been in a sleeping and summoned state now appeared on its own without the call of outsiders.
“I feel it, very powerful magic, worthy of being a Slytherin monster of one of the founders!”
Dumbledore’s body was trembling. Shaking, this is not to feel fear, but to feel the excitement of an evenly matched opponent.
Wizards at the level of Dumbledore are either disgusted by the fear of death, or they are already fearless of death and have reached the level of doing whatever they want.
Dumbledore’s desire to get closer to the truth of magic can only be achieved by seeking victory in a close battle to allow him to go further in his limits.
The huge basilisk stood up its upper body, like a giant, inspecting the people who broke into the secret room.
And this basilisk’s face even showed a humanized expression of confusion.
All wizards who have seen the basilisk have either been killed directly or petrified because the basilisk’s vision has been weakened, and wizards like Hermione and the three who can look directly at the basilisk have never appeared.
Hermione’s ability to ignore the Basilisk’s ability to kill the eye subconsciously created a sense of guard, fear, which is the predator’s confusion when facing an unsure opponent.
The trickiest thing about the basilisk is his cursed eye, and wizards with insufficient ability almost come to die one by one, come to die a pair, even if it is thousands of wizards, as long as they are aligned with his eyes, then there is only one way to die.
“Hermione, Snape—I’m here to get its attention, and you guys are helping!”
Almost at the same time as the order was given, the basilisk, who had been watching, seemed to have determined the strength of the three, and immediately aimed at Hermione, who seemed to be the weakest link.
Pounce!
The huge body did not become a weakness of the basilisk, it still moved surprisingly fast, like a flying snake with wings, directly bypassing Dumbledore, and its huge head was aimed at Hermione.
“Don’t think I’m a bully!”
Seeing that she was being targeted by the basilisk, Hermione did not retreat, her right hand seemed to be magical, one moment she drew her wand, and the next second the spell shrouded her body.
“Yugadim Leviosa—”
The basilisk itself has a certain degree of magic resistance, and spells like the levitation charm can easily be offset by the basilisk, and Hermione, who knows the characteristics of the basilisk well, naturally will not cast a spell on it, and the target of this levitation spell is simply herself!
Because her body was subjected to a levitation spell, Hermione’s body was lifted, which was equivalent to applying a light body spell, and the speed of her body’s movement doubled in a short period of time, becoming as flexible and agile as a martial arts master.
