Chapter 105: Another Attack
On Sunday night, after practicing various combat magic, Wright walked out of the Room of Requirement, looking a little tired.
Now, there is a basilisk hiding in the dark, wandering around in the castle, and he dare not exhaust all his energy.
However, it turns out that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
Wright, who had left room for maneuver, had just walked down the stairs and was at the corner of the corridor.
He ran into a wizard who was hidden in a large black robe and exuding a familiar black mist.
If this didn't explain anything, then the giant snake crawling beside it, covered with burn marks, had already told Wright the identity of the wizard in front of him.
After knowing that the person in front was Voldemort and the Basilisk, Wright instantly lowered his head and drew his wand.
'God of War'
Invisible waves shot out from the magic wand and slashed towards the black-robed man in the blink of an eye.
However, the man in black robe was not slow either. After discovering that he was slower than Wright in pulling out his wand, he immediately let out an incomprehensible hissing sound.
The basilisk immediately swam ahead and, relying on its beast instinct, sensed the flight trajectory of the invisible fluctuations.
He forcibly used his second fang to block the attack, and the severed fang hit the ground with a crisp sound.
"Snake?" Facing the snake monster that was blocking the way and staring at him, a raging fire gushed out from his wand.
It blocked the deadly gaze of the basilisk and at the same time devoured the magic cast by the man in black robe.
"No, the power of this magic is wrong." Looking at the increasingly fierce fire in front of him, Wright immediately realized that something was wrong.
Making Horcruxes has a bonus effect on dark magic, and the magic of the black-robed man in front makes Fiendfyre stronger.
Does that mean that the person in front has been completely devoured by the Horcrux and has become a vessel of Voldemort?
Before Wright could think about it, amid the horrified roar of the basilisk, an orange-yellow light net extinguished Wright's fierce fire.
When the fierce fire was extinguished, Wright immediately closed his eyes and used the tactics he had specially developed to deal with this situation.
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
"Shattered to pieces"
'Fractured'
"Thunderbolt"
"Chain explosion"
Five terrifying lethal magic spells, with the support of the magic wand aiming hook, instantly blew away the basilisk that served as a meat shield.
Then, under the thrust of the chain explosion, it hit the black-robed man heavily from behind.
The basilisk had a strong resistance to magic and did not die even after taking five horrific black magic spells head-on.
It just squirmed on the ground, covered in blood, and screamed in pain.
Even though the basilisk's fighting power was destroyed, Wright was not careless at all. He immediately opened his eyes and protected himself.
'Many obstacles'
"Armor Protection"
"Impregnable"
At the same time, he was staring closely at the container of the Dark Lord in front of him.
And the object of Wright's vigilance stood there like a statue, motionless when the basilisk was blown away.
When Wright saw this, he felt something was wrong, but he kept moving the wand in his hand.
"Tongtong Petrochemical"
"fainted"
Two spells instantly hit the black-robed man who did not resist, and he fell to the ground instantly.
The basilisk, which had been pretending to be dead at the back, seemed to have received a signal. It immediately rolled over and quickly slipped into a gap.
The sudden change happened in an instant, leaving Wright completely unable to react.
At the same time, Filch's hysterical voice came from a distance.
"Who, who is it?"
It was obvious that the noise of the fight just now attracted him here.
"It just so happens that we can use Filch to test whether this man in black robes is really defeated."
After taking a look at the man in black robe lying on the ground, Wright cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself, clearing away his own traces and smell, then hid in the corner and watched the development of events quietly.
The menacing Filch and the axe-wielding ghost Nick appeared in front of the black-robed man lying on the ground at the same time.
When Filch saw the man in black robe lying on the ground, his eyes turned red, just like a hound seeing its powerless prey.
He almost wanted to pounce on the person lying on the ground and bite him.
But Nick held the axe to block Filch's movements, preventing him from moving, and seemed to be afraid of the person falling to the ground.
"Filch, go get the professors to deal with it. He is not someone we can handle."
After hearing Nick's warning, Filch was not worried at all. Instead, he screamed madly: "It's him! It must have killed my cat!"
He tried to rush over, but was stopped by Nick, and at this time another scream was heard in the distance.
"Filch, you are here! Hurry, hurry, a little wizard has been murdered." Peeves screamed while flying, and immediately pounced on Filch when he saw him.
"What? What's going on?" The series of unexpected events left Filch completely confused.
Not only was he confused, but Wright who was hiding nearby was also confused.
"Damn it! It must have been done by this man in black robe."
Filch gritted his teeth, stopped Nick and asked Peeves to remove the disguise of the man in black robe on the ground.
Originally, Peeves didn't want to pay attention to Filch, but Nick's dissuasion aroused his rebellious heart.
He flew over directly, lifted up his black robe, revealing his messy long red hair.
Wright, who was always paying attention to the man in black robe, knew who the person who fell to the ground was almost instantly.
"Ginny Weasley! Why don't I find it so surprising."
"It should be said that it was unexpected, but reasonable. After all, Ginny and her mother are both crazy fans of Lockhart."
"Even if Lockhart's reputation at school is ruined, as a fanatical fan, I won't be able to accept this reality so quickly."
Looking at the increasingly chaotic scene and the hurried footsteps coming from not far away, Wright sighed lightly, turned and left.
On the way back to the dormitory, he kept thinking about the sudden encounter he had just had.
"The Horcrux should have just controlled Ginny, so when facing me, it can only rely on the basilisk. Being able to use the End of All Curses once should be its limit."
Thinking of the basilisk's smooth escape route, Wright felt a little regretful why he didn't take the opportunity to kill the injured basilisk.
The Horcrux that controlled Ginny should have been transferred to the Basilisk when the Basilisk stood in front of it.
"So, Voldemort has returned to the shadows, but he also knows about it, and now he can only rely on the basilisk to act."
"Then I just need to deal with the basilisk, and then it will have no more tricks."
After making the decision, Wright, feeling relieved, returned to the dormitory to rest.
The next day, news spread that someone had been attacked again.
This time two people were attacked, Ginny Weasley and Colin Creevey.
This time, not only the Muggle wizards were scared, even some pure-bloods from less prominent family backgrounds began to panic.
