Chapter 111: Escaping the Chamber

The stone floor of the chamber cracked and crumbled beneath his feet with little warning. And Harry found himself falling into a black void.

He caught a glimpse of a deadly pair of yellow eyes and immediately directed his gaze away. Even with only this momentary glimpse, he felt his heart stop for a moment, despite all the protections weaved into his body.

He heard a hiss and the next thing he saw was the inside of a massive mouth surrounding him.

This monster had no intention or need to bite him, it was instead trying to swallow him whole.

"You think I'm a snack?" Harry pointed his wand down.

"Bombarda!"

He put a lot of power in that spell. More than enough to create an explosion capable of sending him flying away from there and to make the beast regret its decision.

He could hear its shrieks of complaint as he landed back in what remained of the Chamber of Secrets.

"Lumos Solem" From the tip of his wand came a powerful light that he used to get a good look at the hole under the chamber.

The creature was even larger than he imagined. Its colossal body was trashing around and hitting the rocky walls of that cave, making everything tremble.

The door was still open, but the hole was not big enough for its head to fit through so it was trying to destroy the entire wall.

And with just one more hit, it succeeded.

Harry pulled a small-looking stick from another pocket and held it in his palm.

"Engorgio"

The small stick grew in length until it became a full-size magical broom. It was his prototype of the Nimbus 2001.

With the wall out of its way, the giant basilisk opened its mouth and took a bite.

The first thing it caught was the dead body of its much smaller sibling snake that was suspended by Harry's stone spears.

The spears broke down with little resistance under its immense might and the dead creature was pulled away and into the monster's mouth.

This also had the effect of creating just enough space for Harry to slip by with his flying broom.

The snake twisted its head around and its yellow eyes followed Harry's path.

It then attempted to lunge at him before he had a chance to escape but Harry was ready for it.

The arkstones on his earrings lit up with a bright blue light as he activated them to power up his next spell since his reserves were already starting to run low.

Harry conjured six giant iron blades like the ones he had previously created to kill one of the basilisks.

"Depulso!" The six blades disappeared in a blur and then he heard the snake shriek in suffering as the blades pierced its skin and flesh.

But even without seeing it he knew this was not going to be enough to kill a creature like this one, so he continued its way and flew into one of the many giant cracks that were decorating the ceiling.

'To kill this monster, I'm going to need something with a lot more power. Not the kind of thing I can use inside an enclosed space like this.'

He hopes to have made the basilisk angry enough to follow him outside. Then...the true battle can begin.
