The spirit behind the gods

Basilisk, in fact, does not 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 with a crown or white spots on its head, a fierce lizard, a tall dragon, or Camilla (a monster with a chicken head and a snake body) behind the charter, and of course, there is also a reference to the gorgon, Medusa.

The basilisk that rages in Hogwarts is said to have come from the egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when he was in Sirius, and the toad-hatched monster has the natural ability to kill what it sees.

"Everyone—the monster's eyes have deadly magic, don't look into its eyes at any time, I'll call Fawkes to help in the fight!"

Before entering the secret room, Dumbledore said to Hermione and Snape at the door that even Dumbledore had to be cautious in the face of dangerous basilisks.

In the original book, Harry singled out the basilisk alone, which in itself is an unmagical thing, and the whole process can be said to be the product of countless coincidences.

The basilisk's killing methods were discovered, and Harry did not match the basilisk's eyes from beginning to end, which was the largest of many coincidences.

You must know that when people are running, their eyes will unconsciously observe their surroundings, and even just glance at the eyes of the basilisk is a fatal mistake.

Coupled with the fact that Dumbledore assisted Phoenix Fawke, who was almost a natural enemy, it can be said that he restrained most of the basilisk's energy, which gave Harry a chance to survive.

And the basilisk, who lost his eyes, was finally coincidentally stabbed in the head by Harry directly from the roof of the jaw with a Gryffindor sword, which gave him a chance to kill with one blow, making it more likely that Harry would die again.

Dumbledore and Snape didn't seem to have anything to do but close their eyes, but Hermione pulled into the bag with the Traceless Stretching Charm on her waist again, and soon took out three special blindfolds.

The eye patch is the same as that used for swimming, and it completely covers the human eye, but it does not have a clear effect when worn except for a slight restriction on the breadth of the field of vision.

"This one is also specially made, and the blindfold uses a medium that can block the penetration of magic... The basilisk's lethal magic must 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, Yu has already used the summer vacation to prepare a complete set of equipment, such as this blindfold is the most basic item, and even if she is not afraid of some shocking things, Hermione can even wear a complete set of magic suits.

With a layer of protection, Dumbledore and Snape gained more confidence, and one by one they entered the Chamber of Secrets wearing blindfolds.

In addition to the pillars, the chamber 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 Cadets.

However, I don't know if it's because of the style of the statue, or if Slytherin itself is short, and the proportions of the statue look very incongruous.

"Inside the statue!"

You's reminder was a little slower, almost the next second Hermione turned her head to stare at the statue, the sound of collision from inside the statue also attracted the attention of Dumbledore and Snape.

Soon the huge Slytherin statue opened its mouth, and the huge basilisk, which was more than 20 feet in size, crawled out of the statue, as if it felt the invasion of the enemy who had killed the Slytherin heir, and the basilisk, which was supposed to be in a sleeping and summoned state, now appeared on its own without the call of outsiders.

"I feel it, it's very powerful, worthy of the Slytherin monsters, one of the founders!"

Dumbledore's body trembled, not because he was afraid, but because he felt the excitement of an evenly matched opponent.

Wizards at Dumbledore's level 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 was to be able to push him further within his limits by seeking victory in evenly matched battles.

The giant basilisk erected its upper body, like a giant, and surveyed the people who had broken into the chamber.

And on the face of this basilisk, there is even a humanized and confused expression.

All the 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.

The ability of the three Hermione to ignore the basilisk's cursed eye made the basilisk subconsciously develop a sense of vigilance and fear, which was the predator's confusion when facing an uncertain opponent.

The most tricky thing about the basilisk is his curse eye, and the wizards with insufficient ability almost die one by one, and even if there are thousands of wizards, as long as they meet his eyes, then there is only one way to die.

"Hermione, Snape - I'll get its attention, you'll help!"

Almost at the same time as the order, the basilisk, which had been under scrutiny, seemed to have determined the strength of the three, and immediately aimed at Hermione, who seemed to be the weakest link.

Pounce!

The sheer size of the body did not become the basilisk's weakness, it still moved at an incredible speed, like a flying snake with wings, directly bypassing Dumbledore, and the 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, but advanced, her right hand was like a magic spell, and she drew her wand in one moment, and the next second the magic spell shrouded her body.

"Yugadim Leviosa-"

The basilisk itself has a certain amount of magic resistance, and spells like the suspension spell can easily be offset by the basilisk, and Hermione, who knows the characteristics of the basilisk, naturally will not cast a spell on it, and the target of this suspension spell is herself at all!

Because of the levitation spell applied to her body, Hermione's body was held up, which was equivalent to applying a light body charm, and the speed of her body's movements doubled in a short period of time, becoming as flexible and agile as a martial arts master.
