Chapter 152 Dumbledore miscalculates! Final decision!
Lockhart fell to the ground and retched.
He almost vomited his gallbladder.
Hearing what Argus said, he staggered to his feet.
"Mr. Grindelwald, I was wrong!"
"Let me go once, I promise I will never do this again!"
"My books only cooperate with Saints Bookstore, no other partners!"
Seeing that Argus was unmoved, Lockhart gritted his teeth.
"I still have a lot of gold galleons in Gringotts. As long as you can spare my life, all these gold galleons are yours!"
"Is this your last words?"
Argus pointed his wand forward, and a dazzling light shone on the top of the wand.
Lockhart was completely scared this time.
Last time in the office, he sensed Argus's murderous intention!
It was just because of the location that he didn't do it to him!
This time is different!
In the underground cave, no one saw it. Even if he really died here, there was no need to worry!
"Don't kill me! I made an unbreakable vow that I will never tell anyone about what happened today!"
"You can't kill me! I am a recipient of the Order of Merlin, third class, and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League!"
"If anything happens to me, the Ministry of Magic will not let you go!"
"Who wants to kill you?" Argus smiled.
He lightly tapped his wand, and a force came from Lockhart's chest.
He couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"It was the basilisk that ate you, why blame me?"
"Professor Gilderoy Lockhart!"
Before Lockhart could react, an unspeakable stench came from the top of his head.
Then, there was the severe pain of being pierced and torn!
The basilisk was not killed by the stone just now, but was knocked unconscious.
After a period of recovery, it has woken up!
The severe pain in the body and the darkness in front of it made it lose its mind.
It bit all the life around it crazily!
"Save...save me..." Lockhart was covered in blood and trembling as he reached out to Argus.
But Argus had no intention of helping, and watched him being devoured by the basilisk quietly.
"Sure enough, villains die because they talk too much."
"If you hadn't talked to Harry for so long, I might have had to kill you myself."
"If someone finds any clues, it will be troublesome."
"Now..."
Argus cast his eyes on the flames on the ground.
Something was faintly wriggling in the flames.
"It's time to put on a show in front of Fox!"
"Expelliarmus!" Argus hit the basilisk with a disarming spell.
The basilisk felt pain and struggled to crawl towards Argus.
Unfortunately, its tail was blocked by a stone pillar, and it couldn't move even a little after twisting for a long time.
"It's worthy of being a 5X-level magical animal cultivated by the despicable Helpo, with an absurdly high magic resistance."
"It took a disarming spell to break the defense!"
Looking at the scales of the basilisk torn by the disarming spell, Argus couldn't help but sigh.
But it's better this way, it's more realistic when I act, and I won't be directly exposed.
With a bird cry, Fox was reborn from the ashes!
As soon as he flew into the air, he saw Argus fighting with the basilisk!
A closer look showed that Harry and Ron fell not far away, and there was always the risk of being accidentally injured!
"Fox, take Harry and Ron to find Principal Dumbledore first!"
"Go!"
The wizard robe on Argus was tattered, and he looked like he had been fighting for a long time.
After all, Fox was just a bird and couldn't think as much as humans.
Seeing Harry and Ron injured, he remembered the task that Dumbledore had given him.
He immediately grabbed Harry and Ron and disappeared into the cave.
"Finally gone!"
Seeing Fox disappear, Argus no longer concealed his strength.
High magic resistance, then use physical attack!
Anyway, your tail is fixed, you can only lie there and get beaten.
One by one, the flying spells summoned stone pillars and stabbed them directly into the body of the basilisk.
And they specifically found the injured place to stab!
In just a few minutes, the basilisk was stabbed and bleeding.
He was spitting blood and had no more strength to struggle.
…
On the other side, in the principal's office.
Dumbledore was sitting at his desk enjoying a midnight snack.
Although he looked calm on the surface, his tightly clenched clothes exposed his inner tension.
Bang! Bang!
A flame flashed in the air.
Fawkes appeared with Harry and Ron in his arms.
When he saw Dumbledore, he threw them to the ground.
"Harry!"
Seeing Harry's half-dead appearance, Dumbledore no longer cared about the midnight snack in front of him.
He quickly stepped forward to check Harry.
After confirming that Harry was not in danger of life, he was instantly relieved.
"Fortunately, it's just some superficial injuries."
"After the basilisk is solved this time, Harry's reputation in Gryffindor should be improved."
"Those who once misunderstood him should also..."
Before he finished speaking, Dumbledore's smile froze.
The expression that was just smiling suddenly turned into a raging rage.
"Forget! Someone cast a Forget on Harry!"
He seemed to have thought of something and went to check on Ron again.
The result he waited for was the same as Harry's.
Both of them were severely affected by the Forget!
As the current top wizard in the wizarding world, Dumbledore knew it very well.
Although the Forget can be restored, it does not mean that it has no side effects!
The powerful forgetfulness spell is likely to turn the person who is cursed into an idiot!
To be precise, it means forgetting everything, including the basic skills of being a human being!
And, he will be extremely forgetful in the future!
No one can accept a savior who is forgetful and becomes an idiot!
"Fawkes, what happened!"
Fawkes sensed Dumbledore's anger, cried out twice in grievance, and flew to his shoulder.
He made an incomprehensible cry.
"What? You said Argus is still fighting the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets!"
"He is still injured!"
Dumbledore found that things were completely out of control.
In his prediction, Harry and Ron could not deal with the basilisk, and the main force to deal with the basilisk was still on Argus.
In order to ensure that Harry and Ron would not get into trouble, he also sent Fawkes to blind the basilisk's eyes in advance.
The basilisk without eyes lost its most threatening weapon.
Argus and Fawkes, it was easy to deal with it together.
But what he didn't expect was that Fawkes was hit by a stone pillar falling from the sky just after he blinded the basilisk's eyes.
He was forced to choose to be reborn from the ashes.
When Fawkes recovered, things had changed drastically!
"Fawkes, you go find Minerva and take her to the Chamber of Secrets to save Argus, and I'll take Harry to St. Mungo's Hospital."
Dumbledore thought about it and finally chose Harry between Argus and Harry.
Anyone can deal with the basilisk, but if Harry really has a brain injury, he probably has to find a way on his own!
Fawkes nodded and cried softly.
He turned into a flame and ignited in the office.
Dumbledore didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran to St. Mungo's Hospital with Harry and Ron.
The entire principal's office returned to silence again...
