Chapter 85: The Secret Room Solution
As he walked, Ios suddenly heard a burst of music, it was illusory, ethereal and mysterious, it should give people an elegant feeling, but it made people's blood boil and excited.
He immediately reacted, this is the song of the phoenix, with a magical magic effect, which is equivalent to blessing people with a courage technique.
Looks like Fawkes has arrived with the Sorting Hat, I've got to hurry, they're about to start. Thinking so, Ios quickened his pace.
Soon, he rushed to the stone chamber at the end, and saw—
Tom Riddle smirked, "Alright, Harry, I'm going to teach you a lesson." Let's compare the strengths, with Voldemort, the heir of Salazar Slytherin, on one side, and Harry Potter on the other, with the best weapon Dumbledore could give him. ”
Hearing him say this, Ios subconsciously looked at the Sorting Hat at the feet of Phoenix Fawkes and Harry, and it was really a huge gap.
Riddle walked over to the Slytherin statue and sizzled at it, not intelligible, but probably calling a basilisk or something.
The statue's mouth opened and grew larger and larger, and there was a sound of something sliding through it, and an atmosphere of fear spread.
Even Ios didn't dare to look any further at this time, he closed his eyes in case he accidentally saw the basilisk's eye and then hit the gg, and it was not too late to wait for Fawkes to blind him before appearing.
In Ios' senses, Fawkes swooped down just as the basilisk was about to reach attack distance, attracting its attention and hovering a short distance above its head, completely luring the basilisk away from Harry.
Annoyed by the Phoenix's entanglement, the basilisk flapped its tail in full vent, and Fawkes, hovering in the air, seized an opportunity to swoop down on the basilisk's head, its golden beak digging deep into its eyes.
It's good, the basilisk is blind! Without its deadly sight, it was no more of a threat to Ios than ordinary beasts.
Quite a lot of black blood was sprinkled from the air, like a rain of blood, and the basilisk struggled in pain, making a snoring sound.
Seeing this, Riddle screamed angrily, "Don't! Get out of that bird! Get out of that bird! Boy is behind you! You can also smell him and kill him! ”
Hearing his words, the basilisk turned and headed towards Harry, although he could no longer see it, but the snakes could have caught their prey by catching the scent of the air through the snake letter.
The basilisk just has vision, so it doesn't need this ability, but now that it's blind, it will soon pick up this skill that its kind will use. If it dragged on until then, Harry would be pretty much finished.
However, since the basilisk is blind, Ios thinks it's time for him to play too, otherwise when Harry pulls out the Gryffindor sword, won't he become a soy sauce fighter?
"Help me, help me," Harry whispered at a loss, "whoever can save me, whoever it is!" ”
"Stop!" Ios stepped out of the shadows.
Taken aback, Riddle looked over, but immediately smiled: "Look who this is?!" A student, do you think you can defeat the basilisk? ”
Ignoring Riddle's taunt, Ios raised his wand and aimed it at the basilisk, and one of the spells fired, knocking the basilisk to the side, but it quickly stood up and opened its mouth to roar at Ios.
But Ios only used these powerful spells to remove Harry from him, and the next moment he cast a magic of his own making, "Draw the ground as a dungeon!" ”
A circular circle of light was created under the basilisk, and soon, a layer of light curtain appeared and trapped the basilisk inside, no matter how it attacked, the light curtain did not break, but there were layers of ripples on the surface.
"Final blow, goodbye, monster!"
With the stroke of Ios' wand, an incomparably blazing flame appeared in the light curtain, and immediately turned into a huge pillar of fire that reached the top of the stone chamber, emitting a wave of heat that even Harry not far away felt like his skin was about to crack.
In less than a minute, from the excitement of Ios' appearance to the shock of the basilisk being defeated in a hurry, Harry felt like he was on a roller coaster ride that he couldn't calm down.
When the flames dissipated, and only a serpentine pile of coke remained in the light prison, seeing that the basilisk looked dead no matter how it looked, Ios withdrew the light prison.
"As for you, except for your weapons!" A red light shot out, and before the shocked Riddle could react, the wand in his hand was knocked away.
Harry hurriedly ran to retrieve his wand, and he also brought the notebook with him, and went to Ios, who felt the safest place he was now, and the ease with which Ios destroyed the basilisk left an indelible impression on his heart.
"This notebook is his essence, and we can destroy him by destroying this notebook." As soon as he reached Ios' side, Harry picked up the notebook and said anxiously to him.
"Well, I'll try." As he spoke, a spell struck the note, but it was not damaged at all.
Riddle, who had a gloomy face after losing his wand, also mocked: "Just because you want to destroy my diary too, hahaha! ”
"Shut up, you phantom." Ios scolded, then looked at Harry, "Go and see if the basilisk's fangs are still intact, bring one with you." ”
Harry hurriedly did so, and found the snake's fangs intact.
It's really lucky that his body is scorched but his teeth are fine, otherwise he would have to cast a fierce fire spell, and he is not very skilled in that spell, so it will not be good if something goes wrong.
As the teeth dug into the note, a terrible, long-lasting, piercing scream rang out, and streams of ink erupted from the journal, while Riddle twisted and struggled, screaming out of his mouth, his arms waving wildly, and then vanished.
Originally, he wanted to struggle when Harry was looking for teeth, but he was immediately stopped by Ios, and he could only wait for his disappearance unwillingly.
And with the destruction of the diary, Ginny also woke up.
They then joined up with Ron and Gildero, and with the help of Phoenix Fawkes, they returned to the entrance to the secret room, the women's bathroom. The rest of them were all in a mess when they came out, except for Ios, who had put a spell on himself and didn't get anything dirty at all.
When they arrived at Professor McGonagall's office, they found that Professor Dumbledore and the Weasleys were inside, and Fawkes flew over Dumbledore's shoulder, where he was smiling and watching them from the fireplace.
Harry then recounted to them what had happened to him and the others, and Ios added a little.
After Dumbledore had taken care of everything, Ios left with the others, leaving Harry and Dumbledore alone, while he began to take stock of his gains-
First, he earned 200 points for Ravenclaw, and then a badge for outstanding contribution, but that would be placed at Hogwarts for posterity.
As for the rest, does Dumbledore's kindness count? In the game, it's the favorability up.
