demon hunter at hogwarts

It seems that the great Salazar Slytherin did not deliberately beautify his image like many other mediocre people.

This was one of the many conclusions Regulus came to after seeing this statue.

Because on the statue that was as high as the room, there was a huge, old face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a long sparse beard that dragged down to the hem of the wizard's robe carved from stone. It looked unkempt and unflattering. Dare to compliment him, but it has nothing to do with the handsome and handsome image in the minds of many Slytherins in later generations.

"If this statue was built by Slytherin himself...then there are obviously some discrepancies between the legend and the facts." Dumbledore looked at the entire sculpture up and down through the half-moon lenses, and said in a tone of admiration, "It seems that I have to write a letter to Bathilda and ask her to correct some of the points in the book..."

Snape, on the other hand, lowered his head and swept his cold eyes over the two feet of the statue.

The statue is not wearing shoes, and its two gray feet are stepping on the smooth floor of the room. The direction directly facing the toes is a stone covered bridge. There are water pools on both sides of the covered bridge, and there are two rows of water pools neatly arranged. Huge stone snake heads, they spit out poison and display their fangs menacingly.

In the humid room, the occasional dripping of water became the only source of sound. Several people carefully checked the entire room, including the open mouth of the snake-shaped statue, but found no trace of the basilisk.

"Is there any place in this room that can hide a fifty-foot-long snake? With all due respect, Headmaster, how should we find this so-called basilisk?" Snape's voice echoed in the room, "Waiting for it here? If it decides to enter a 50-year hibernation, I don't have free time to waste here. I have a Potions class waiting for me in two hours."

"Severus, thank you for your love for your work." Dumbledore said with a smile, "We will find a way... Maybe, we can ask the person who built this room."

Without any further hints from Dumbledore, Regulus already knew what to do now.

He walked to the middle of the covered bridge, raised his head and said to the face of the Slytherin statue: "Great Salazar Slytherin, your descendants need guidance."

Of course, this sentence was also said in Parseltongue.

After a few seconds, the huge stone face came to life and Slytherin's mouth opened.

But the statue couldn't speak after all. The mouth opened wider and wider, and finally formed a black hole, just like the pipe they slid down.

Then, a rustling sound came from inside the statue, getting closer and closer, and something slid in the mouth of the statue.

Snape's hand on the wand tightened, but Dumbledore took time to stroke his long beard and said: "You two, I have to reiterate again that the basilisk's gaze is fatal. I hope you have thought about it. How to deal with it.”

Regulus stretched his limbs and said confidently: "I will solve this problem."

"Huh, I've seen a lot of arrogant people, and their consequences were not very good." Snape said coldly, "When I deal with the basilisk later, I may not have time to distract myself from saving people."

"In this case, you can act according to your plan, and Severus and I will support you." Dumbledore did not object to Regulus's actions. Instead, he took Snape and hid in a building. Behind the serpentine statue.

There was a hint of surprise in Snape's eyes, because it showed that Dumbledore thought Regulus was quite confident in dealing with the basilisk's glare.

You know, the most troublesome weapon of the basilisk is this deadly gaze. Even Snape himself is not 100% sure that he can deal with such a ferocious monster while blocking his vision.

While several people were talking, they heard a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the entire secret room was shaken several times. Obviously, the weight of the basilisk must be calculated in tons.

I have to say that compared to Nagini, the basilisk looks really ugly: it has a flat head with many spikes, its body glows with the green glow unique to highly venomous creatures, and its body is as thick as an oak trunk. , a bit like a cross between a snake and an eel.

"Kill...kill..." The hissing sound coming from the basilisk's mouth had only this meaning to Regulus.

It seems that the claustrophobic life of nearly a thousand years has caused this basilisk to lose all reason, leaving only a crazy desire to kill.

That is the mission given by Slytherin when it was first created.

Regulus had already closed his eyes, and the basilisk reappeared in his vision in the form of energy.

The huge body of the basilisk slowly unfolded at the feet of the Slytherin statue, and quickly locked on the target.

Compared to its huge size, the basilisk moved quite quickly. It swam in front of Regulus in the blink of an eye, opened its huge mouth, and exposed two rows of long and sharp fangs inside, like daggers.

As long as the skin is scratched by one of them, the deadly venom will take away the victim's life within a few minutes.

From the Basilisk's perspective, the "food" in front of it was already dead the moment it saw it, and now all it does is eat.

For 1000 years, it had to eat rats to satisfy its hunger. It was too hungry.

But what surprised the basilisk was that the tiny human being who was supposed to be dead suddenly jumped on its head and landed between its eyes.

Then, a heart-piercing pain caused the basilisk to struggle desperately. The heavy snake tail swept towards the snake-shaped statue, breaking one of the statue's fangs.

Black blood spilled all over the floor, and the big eyes that were originally shining yellow like two light bulbs had lost their luster.The basilisk could see nothing.

"What a nonsense... This guy really embarrasses wizards." Snape finally reluctantly came to this comment after witnessing the entire process of Regulus blinding the basilisk's eyes through the shadow reflected on the wall.

In his imagination, Regulus might first use some blinding techniques to avoid making eye contact with the basilisk, and then wait for an opportunity to use a spell such as the Eye Spell to injure the basilisk's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Regulus chose the Muggle method, jumped directly on the basilisk's head, and blinded the basilisk's eyes with a dagger.

Although the eyes are blind, the basilisk's huge size and deadly fangs are still there. It is still extremely powerful, and the dagger is not very lethal at this time.

Regulus's two stun spells and one blasting spell hit it, and they were all bounced to the side.

The basilisk's scales and hide are highly resistant to magic.

Valley</span> "Maybe you should try the freezing spell!" Snape's gloating voice came from the side, "I remember snakes are cold-blooded animals."

Apparently Regulus had the same idea. A freezing spell with cold blue light directly hit the basilisk. The basilisk's body went stiff for a short time. It seemed that the freezing spell really had an effect.

However, two seconds later, with a few clicking sounds, the basilisk resumed its normal actions.

"If we really let you run into the castle, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to deal with." Seeing that the spell had no effect, Regulus immediately changed his tactics and used transformation to bring a snake-shaped statue to life and control the stone snake. Launched an attack on the Basilisk.

Judging from the size, the stone snake and the basilisk are about the same size, but as soon as the two behemoths clashed, the stone snake could not resist the brute force of the basilisk, and was knocked into a pile of rubble in two or three rounds.

Regulus spat and came to a conclusion: unless he used a special move, it would not be that easy to defeat the basilisk in two or three blows.

But out of his inner wariness of Snape, Regulus was still reluctant to expose all his cards, even though Dumbledore had just been hinting that Snape was a completely trustworthy person.

At the same time, the basilisk was not idle. It first spat out a large mouthful of green venom, and part of it fell to the ground with a hissing sound. The flat stone covered bridge was instantly corroded into small pits.The venom splashed into the water caused the calm water to roll, and light green steam emerged.

Regulus used a spell to raise a low wall on the ground to block the splashing venom. The next second, the basilisk's huge tail swept over and shattered the low wall.

Continuous attacks were ineffective, and the basilisk let out an angry scream, and a putrid smell instantly filled the entire room.

Regulus felt dizzy and immediately held his breath. He soon realized that the breath exhaled by the basilisk also contained a small amount of toxins. Although it was not fatal, it was definitely unhealthy.

He maneuvered several huge pieces of gravel into the air, then smashed them into the basilisk's head.

Every piece of gravel can smash a person into a meat pie, but after the basilisk was hit, it just shook its head as if nothing had happened.

"How long are you going to watch the show there?" Seeing this situation, Regulus shouted dissatisfied towards the place where Dumbledore and Snape were hiding.

"You're right, we're going to miss our lunch break." After Dumbledore said that, he gently drew his wand in a circle above his head, and all the snake-shaped statues in the room suddenly came to life.

Then, the old headmaster waved his wand at the basilisk, and a spell spurted out from the tip of his wand.

Even Snape, who was standing next to him, didn't see what spell Dumbledore used.

However, the power of the spell had already blown the Potions Professor's greasy black hair back.

The spell hit the basilisk like a cannonball, and its heavy body of several tons was sent flying backwards and hit the wall hard with a dull sound. The entire secret room shook frighteningly. Stalactites with weak roots fell from the ceiling and shattered into pieces.

Even though the basilisk was thick-skinned and fleshy, it was knocked dizzy by this heavy blow.

As soon as it shook its head twice, the seven or eight animated stone snakes swam to its side and quickly transformed again, transforming into several heavy chains, locking the basilisk firmly to the ground.

At this time, Snape also took action. He was seen mumbling words and waving his wand like a sword.

The invisible spell passed through the basilisk's body, and several deep wounds suddenly appeared on the tough snake skin, as if it had been struck by an invisible sword.

Under the stimulation of pain, the basilisk became more and more crazy, but Dumbledore just waved his wand, and a light blue light curtain flashed through. The stone sculptures that could be easily smashed by the basilisk just now had changed. Indestructible, the basilisk can no longer break free.

Several people walked up to the basilisk. The basilisk struggled desperately and hissed with anger and fear from its mouth.

"Have you tried to communicate with it?" Dumbledore stared at the basilisk with complicated eyes and asked.

"It can no longer communicate. From just now until now, the only words it has said are words like 'kill, kill you, tear you apart, kill you'." Regulus shook his head and sighed, "If you are willing If so, you can try using Legilimency on it, and maybe you can see what instructions Slytherin gave it 1000 years ago."

"I have no interest in living in the head of a basilisk for another thousand years," Snape said.

Then he walked up to the basilisk's head, pointed it at the brain of this terrible and pitiful creature, and uttered the fatal spell: "The divine edge has no shadow."

The spell penetrated the basilisk's vitals, and the basilisk let out a wail of extreme pain. Its ugly big head slapped weakly on the ground, and its body twisted and twitched a few times before becoming motionless.

"Poor guy, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the person who created it." Regulus looked at the basilisk's body expressionlessly, "It was just to complete the master's mission."

Snape, on the other hand, did not have the leisure to deliver a eulogy for the basilisk. He got a few glass bottles from somewhere and started to collect fresh basilisk venom. Finally, he carefully broke off a few fangs.

Dumbledore watched with a half-smile as Snape worked around the basilisk corpse.

"I thought you would stop us from killing it." Regulus walked over to Dumbledore and kicked away two pieces of gravel.

"If Newt or Hagrid were here, they would definitely stop us...but I think the safety of teachers and students in the school is more important." Dumbledore said, "This happened once 50 years ago, and I can't accept it. Jin Niang’s tragedy happened again in the school.”

Soon, Snape finished his collection.

You know, there have been no records of basilisks in the world for 400 years. The materials on basilisks only exist in legends. Even the most authoritative and famous potion masters, such as Slughorn, can only Some incomplete records full of errors and omissions were found in alchemist manuscripts hundreds of years ago.

Being able to obtain so many valuable and unmarketable materials and study their related properties was a huge harvest for Snape, the youngest Potions Master in the wizarding world today.

"It's time to go back." As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the phoenix Fawkes flew in from nowhere and landed on his shoulder.
