Chapter 116 - [Soul Attribute]

The chamber of secrets.

The chamber of secrets in fact is just a huge hall made by Salazar Slytherin, one of the four wizards who created Hogwarts school.

Salazar Slytherin like most stupid pure-blood wizards disliked the muggle-born wizard and witches and didn't want to accept them to Hogwarts.

So after getting himself in conflict with the other three founders of the school, he built this chamber and left, leaving his pet inside.

Which is the Basilisk!

Slytherin's family is known for the ability to talk with snakes which is the Parseltongue.

So Salazar trained the Basilisk to listen only to his family's heir who will someday come back and release it... then yeah... Clear the school from the unworthy(Muggle-born) wizards and witches... A stupid villain plot.

To enter the chamber, there is only one passage.

And this passage turned out to be in the old female bathroom.

And in this bathroom right now, there are three humans and one ghost talking.

Harry looked at the female ghost and asked her about her death.

Harry and Ron already know about the second message and about Ginny who's supposed to be taken to the chamber.

From what they heard, Professor Lockheart's is getting ready to deal with this, so both of them wanted to help by telling him the pieces of information they know.

But this guy never meant to help and was even preparing to run away.

So they simply forced him along and took him to the female bathroom, which should be the key to find the entrance of the chamber of secrets.

It's funny how a Professor like him will be sized by second-year students...

The female ghost that Harry is talking to is Myrtle Warren.

Harry realized the fact that she might be the one who was killed when the chamber was opened a long time ago and asked her about her death.

She was a student in the school and the only victim who saw the Basilisk eyes directly when the chamber was opened for the first time.

And since then, her soul became a ghost haunting this bathroom.

Well... She doesn't know much but what she said was enough to help him, and he really found the entrance.

So Harry forced Lockheart to go fist and then followed with Ron.

...

After ten minutes, another figure walked to the bathroom.

"Hello Myrtle" Gray walked in slowly and greeted Myrtle who's staying alone looking at the entrance of the chamber.

"Oh! Hello Gr... Gray!" Myrtle panicked seeing Gray entering the bathroom.

In fact, there is no reason for her to panic seeing him, but it's a well know fact that Gray and Perona are siblings at the school... So...

Gray didn't think too much about her reaction and jumped in following Harry and Ron.

Along the way, he found that Harry already advanced to the chamber alone, while Ron and Lockheart who already lost consciousness on the ground are waiting outside.

Without much guesses, this guy should have used the oblivion spell while holding Ron's broken wand, which backfired on him and now he's a complete idiot...

For this, Gray only felt good and smiled while continuing his way.

He wanted to beat this owner of the ugliest smile a few times already...

...

Moving through rocks, soon Gray saw the real entrance of the chamber.

Walking in, the first thing Gray saw was Harry holding a sword standing in a large statue of a wizard opening his mouth and a huge serpent that its eyes already destroyed opening its huge mouth ready to attack Harry.

'****' Gray cursed and directly disappeared from his place using Apparition.

...

Harry looked at the Basilisk with fear in his eyes. Is he sure he can defeat it?

Of course not... But he won't die without trying, so Harry challenged the fear inside his heart and was ready to strike the snake that is about to attack him.

But at this moment...

*WOOG* Between them in the void, a weird twist appeared with a tearing sound and a white-haired figure appeared on top of the Basilisk and with a somersault smashed the head of the Basilisk with his leg pushing it away.

"Gray!" Seeing the person who appeared, Harry screamed with joy!

'Saved! Gray came to save us!' Harry's thoughts...

'Saved... Almost lost the only Basilisk in this world' Gray thoughts...

Poor Harry, didn't know what Gray did just now wasn't saving him, but saving the Basilisk that was about to be killed by him.

Basilisk is a Mythical creature, even in this world, it's an extremely rare almost a lost legend. So Gray naturally won't allow it to die so fast like this!

"Yo Harry" Gray who landed beside Harry, said with relief.

This also made Harry more thankful, this is the second time, Gray appear in the key time and save him!

Gray didn't talk much with Harry but looked at the Basilisk that already raised his head again.

Had to say, this guy's skin is so hard... Even his Haki kick didn't hurt him so much.

Even though Gray's body lowered so much, but still, it's much better than the humans in this world.

Gray is not planning to kill the Basilisk directly, after all, he wants to copy its blood to Nagini first!

So in Gray's hands, a very long iron chain appeared.

Looking at this chain, you will find it shining with a weird energy, which is some magic spells Gray cast on it before.

"Go" With Gray's order the chain like a long snake rushed to the Basilisk moving around its body and mouth not allowing it to move or run away.

Looking at the Basilisk struggling trying to break free Gray called Perona's name.

And as soon as he said this, two figures appeared beside him, which is Perona and Nagini.

"HraHraHra" With Perona coming put, a few ghosts rushed to the Basilisk and started destroying its mood which finally made it calm down by depression.

If you look at those ghosts, you will find that they have a weird blue color, not like the normal ghosts.

And they really not the same. Perona mixed a freezing spell inside her ghosts. If the Basilisk resists for magic weren't so high, he would have already been frozen completely.

"#[email protected]" Nagini came whispering in Gray's ears telling him she doesn't like the Basilisk.

The Basilisk breath is really irritating for her, even now! So she kept watching it in case it came out of control.

"Are you hurt ?" Seeing the Basilisk was caught successfully, Gray looked at Harry and asked.

"No..." Harry paused for a second and answered while looking at the Basilisk with fear.

Gray and Perona are really awesome! Even such a creature they caught.....

Seeing Harry is okay, Gray turned his face to Tom Riddle... Or can be said, Voldemort's young soul part.

Because Voldemort turned the diary into a Horcrux when he was young, the part of the soul inside the diary is also in the young form.

"Who are you!" Tom Riddle looked at Gray and Perona who suddenly emerged destroying everything and asked annoyedly.

"Hmmm... Horcrux is really an interesting thing, a small part of the soul residing inside a diary will make all this trouble..." Gray walked to Tom's side and looked at him with interesting eyes.

"You! How do you know this!" Tom was surprised by hearing Gray's words! Horcrux is his biggest secret... even he himself one of the Horcruxes!

"Well... I'm not interested to talk with a ghost soo..." Gray said this and in a blink of an eye came to Tom's side. Then stretched his hand and touched him...

*Extraction*

Gray extracted Voldemort's soul fragment in front of him.

He's not sure what will he get, but it's worth trying anyway.

[Soul attribute]

As soon as this attribute appeared, Tom who was holding Harry's wand became illusory and the wand he's holding fell down.

Souls can affect the physical materials around, for example, Tom in front of him can actually hold Harry's wand normally, even though he's just a fragment of soul, and Perona not long ago was also able to do similar things, like opening doors and carrying things.

Which shows that only a strong soul can do such a thing.

Gray didn't care about all this and kept staring at the attribute he got.

Soul Attribute... A pure attribute... A very impressive attribute.....

Unlike the weird attribute he usually gets from anything, the soul attribute is so direct and clear.

This attribute will make his soul stronger!

Gray looked at the illusory Tom with more light in his eyes.

'Come to think about it... Voldemort was handsome when he was young...' While thinking of this he extracted him two times more.

And also got the same attribute again.

With this, Tom's phantom completely collapsed and disappeared as if he wasn't there.

Voldemort's soul is really strong! the fact that he has three soul attributes alone shows how strong his soul is... No wonder this guy ripped his soul into seven parts...

"You destroyed him!" Harry watched Tom defeated and felt happy.

"Not yet..." But Gray knows that he didn't really destroy it. So he walked to the Basilisk and opened its mouth by force, then took one of its teeth and closed it again with the chain. Then he walked to the diary not far away.
