Now Tom felt the time had come.
So he rushed out of the corner suddenly, and switched to the basilisk form at the same time.
Tom's positioning is very precise: he is the assistant today, and let the main C Dumbledore play the output.
What other control skills are stronger than the hard control of the Basilisk?
Tom turned into a giant snake more than ten feet long, meandering forward, charging towards Voldemort.
Of course Voldemort knew the basilisk, and he knew the horror of this creature. So even though there was a storm in his heart, he made the right response at the first time: he closed his eyes and did not look directly at the basilisk, and at the same time, Voldemort had not forgotten to pull a Horcrux beside him.
This is not a good intention, but to let the Horcrux make a shield for himself. The Horcrux understood Voldemort's mind too, so he hurriedly lowered his head, a flash of anger flashing across his face.
After the appearance of the basilisk Tom became, Voldemort didn't feel like he was over. Although the snake eyes of the basilisk are terrifying, as long as they don't look directly at its eyes, they will not be petrified.
Voldemort felt that he only needed to pay attention. Although it has an impact on his combat power, he still has a great chance of winning against the Horcrux!
Then a curse from Dumbledore made Voldemort despair.
Dumbledore raised his wand and quickly formed a mirror around his body, which reflected the Basilisk's body and his eyes. In this way, no matter how careful Voldemort is, the probability of seeing the basilisk's eyes will be greatly increased.
Dumbledore's mirror completely extinguished the possibility of Voldemort's victory.
He could barely look in Dumbledore's direction! It's a hammer!
Voldemort suddenly felt that he had no chance of winning. Due to a wizard like Dumbledore, you can't use your eyes? To make matters worse, his arm was also injured, and now his soul is being roasted.
He felt that he really had to withdraw. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.
But running is also a kind of wisdom. After the dementors returned to Azkaban, although they did not dare to be involved in the frontal battlefield of the three, they also played an extremely important role. They've made it an impossible place to Apparate. So the easiest way to run has been blocked.
Voldemort turned into a black fog, and at this moment, a violent explosion occurred around him.
Voldemort: !
It was his Horcrux that was making trouble! It casts a blast spell on the ceiling!
Azkaban was formerly the residence of the dark wizard. After the dementors moved in, they had no intention of renovating, so the interior of the castle was not as strong as the outer wall, and the Horcrux was successfully blown up with a "thunderbolt explosion". Half a corridor.
After Voldemort was hit by the shock wave of the explosion, his chest felt sweet, and Venus shot up in his head, but he still looked in one direction and slid quickly against the ground. The Horcrux also ran towards the window in the corridor. Ordinary people jumped from that height and would be disabled or dead, but it was nothing to be afraid of as a Horcrux, so it rushed to the window, ready to take a leap of faith.
But at this time, Dumbledore's magic also came. Under the command of his wand, the stagnant water on the ground outside the prison rose, flew in through the window, and slapped Horcrux in the face.
The water that was photographed became extremely thick, like glue, and quickly turned into a one-person-high cocoon that wrapped Voldemort's Horcrux.
In the blink of an eye, I saw a pink, rippling, blurred figure shimmering, standing there. It was clear that the Horcrux was struggling to escape the suffocating water cocoon.
Water Prison Technique! Tom recognized the name of the spell used by Dumbledore.
Taking advantage of the chance that his body was entangled in the water prison technique, Tom found the right angle and looked directly at the Horcrux trapped in the water prison. The Horcrux was caught off guard and met Tom's eyes, and then its movements froze. .
Eye of the Basilisk, activate!
Although Tom's eyes are not like the real basilisk to see who is dying, it can still turn people to stone. The Horcrux in the water prison was petrified by Tom's eyes. The sight that has been weakened several times is not enough to permanently petrify the Horcrux, but with Dumbledore present, this time is enough.
Seeing that the Horcrux was petrified, Dumbledore lifted his water curse. The Horcrux that lost its support fell to the ground and became Dumbledore's captive. It is a pity that Voldemort himself escaped while the scene was chaotic. In this ambush, he left enough to pay a terrible price - lost a Horcrux, and was hit by Dumbledore's curse. In the days to come, he will suffer.
Tom returned to his human form and stood beside Dumbledore, looking at Umbridge lying on the ground with a strange expression.
"Professor Dumbledore, you wouldn't want to let it die, would you? This is that person's Horcrux!"
Tom was really worried that Dumbledore would be soft-hearted and make a big mistake.
Dumbledore waved his hand, indicating that Tom didn't have to worry, he still had this hard-heartedness.
"I'm just sighing at the fragility of life." Dumbledore looked at the corpse on the ground and said with emotion.
"She was still a big living person just now, but the result was fleeting, and the corpse was made into a Horcrux by Riddle. Riddle's operation really shocked me... But it did work. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid It's going to be a loss." In Dumbledore's mind, the decision he had just made could only be said to be a narrow victory. If it weren't for Tom's final sneak attack, his confrontation with Voldemort would probably go on for a long time.
"—Also, it was a powerful transformation just now." At the end, Dumbledore did not forget to praise Tom for turning into a basilisk.
For Tom's transformation, Dumbledore adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye. He wasn't going to get to the bottom of it, to find out why he could become a basilisk. From Dumbledore's point of view, every little wizard has his own adventures, and it's normal for Tom Yoder to be a little bit special, as long as he uses his power on the right path, he'll be fine.
Is there anything more "right" than fighting Voldemort?
Tom looked at Umbridge, who had hardened on the ground, without any hesitation. Who is Umbridge, doesn't he know? A typical helpless wallgrass. Being able to die here and leave a decent reputation is already her best end.
"Hurry up and destroy the Horcrux, lest you have too many dreams at night." Tom urged. He really didn't want any more trouble.
Destroying the Horcrux requires special means. To this end, Dumbledore stretched out his left arm, and then there was an ethereal song from far to near in the void. Soon, Phoenix Fox appeared in front of the two of them clutching the Sorting Hat.
After throwing the Sorting Hat at Dumbledore's feet, Fox flew away angrily. Tom's eyes were sharp, and he vaguely saw the phoenix roll Dumbledore's eyes before flying away.
"The real Gryffindor can always get help from the Sorting Hat." Dumbledore, who was despised by his pet, did not have the slightest sense of being despised. He proudly showed off to Tom from the Sorting Hat like a child The Gryffindor sword taken out.
Tom: ...
The one who can draw the sword in the lake is King Arthur, and the one who can draw the sword in the hat is Gryffindor?
Tom's eyes were attracted by the Gryffindor sword. This sword was all silver and looked quite gorgeous. The hilt was inlaid with rubies, and the name of Godric Gryffindor was engraved on the sword.
He who had made armor immediately recognized it. This sword was made of magic silver.
"One of the founders of Hogwarts, the relic of Godric Gryffindor," Dumbledore introduced to Tom with a long sword in his hand: "Made by goblins, it has some rather peculiar properties, such as being able to Absorb what can strengthen it. Gryffindor took it on an adventure back then, slaying an unknown number of dangerous magical animals and monsters, and its blade was attached with magic power, enough to destroy Horcruxes."
Dumbledore held the long sword, raised it over the top, and stabbed Umbridge's body on the ground.
The Gryffindor sword was inserted into Umbridge's chest. Tom seemed to hear a shrill scream. Black smoke came out of Umbridge's body, and a small amount of black blood spilled from his chest.
Under the severe stimulation, the Horcrux broke free from the petrification of the basilisk and twisted like a snake, but the Gryffindor sword was like a nail driven into the ground, locking it firmly on the ground.
Dumbledore was expressionless and unaffected. He inserted the sword into the Horcrux with such force, until the Horcrux stopped struggling completely.
"It's over." Dumbledore pulled the sword out, and the moment he pulled it out, black blood and wisps of black gas gushed out from the wound.
Soon, the blood in Umbridge's corpse was drained, and the whole body shrank. The original body was not tall, but now it shrank into a small ball.
"Let's go back, today's good harvest." Dumbledore happily extended his arm to Tom. He first took Tom out of Azkaban, and then used Apparition to bring Tom back to Hogwarts.
When Tom and Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, Voldemort returned to his loyal Malfoy Manor.
A puff of black smoke passed, and a livid-faced Voldemort appeared in the garden of Malfoy Manor, startling the white peacocks flying everywhere in the garden.
At this time, Voldemort was far less calm and calm than he had just set out. His wizard robe was tattered during the battle, and Dumbledore's golden flame was wrapped around his entire left arm, which he brought to him all the time. come to pain.
Just now, Voldemort had been running and didn't even have time to clear the flames from his arms. When he returned to Malfoy Manor, he finally had the energy to deal with this tarsal fire. As an ancient pure-blood family, the Malfoy family naturally has the means to hide their nest. Without Lucius' consent, even Dumbledore couldn't break in here.
In other words, this place is safe for Voldemort. He stretched out his wand and tapped several times on his left arm. The golden flame disappeared, revealing the black withered forearm that was scorched by the flame.
Although the flames on the bright side disappeared, Voldemort could still feel the scorching of Dumbledore's curse on his soul.
This spell of Dumbledore is equivalent to putting Voldemort in a state of delay, allowing him to feel the pain at the soul level every minute and every second. It is an extremely terrifying magic. And this spell will gradually destroy Voldemort's soul, which means that Voldemort's life has entered the countdown. Without the Horcrux, he would have died in agony. This process may last a year, five years, or even ten years.
what--
Voldemort cast several spells in a row, but he couldn't relieve his pain. In the end, he roared angrily in exasperation, and the wand flew into the air, followed by green lights, killing all the living creatures in the garden.
The first second Voldemort stepped into the manor, Lucius Malfoy noticed it. However, he was clever and didn't run to meet him immediately. Because he was good at observing words and expressions, he found that Voldemort's state didn't seem right.
After Voldemort broke out, he couldn't help but be afraid: if he just ran out by himself, he might be used by Voldemort to vent his anger. Voldemort in his rage would not think too much. Even a Death Eater like Lucius would kill him if he killed him.
After Voldemort vented his anger with the white peacock, he calmed down a little, and he began to think about the solution.
Seeing his master recovering calm, Lucius also stepped forward slowly, preparing to give his master a greeting. It's not that he likes to get lucky, it's because he can't avoid it.
This is his manor, and sooner or later he will face Voldemort.
Voldemort, who was thinking of a countermeasure, saw Lucius' eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of an excellent solution.
With just a little sacrifice, he can relieve this pain.
So Lucius heard a sentence that made him go crazy.
"Lucius, where is the book I asked you to keep?"
……
On the sea, a small fishing boat is drifting with the waves. The sailor standing on the bow fishing rubbed his eyes, he seemed to have seen a figure on the water just now.
Life was at stake, so he quickly told his companions about it. The two quickly stopped the boat and searched the sea.
"I seem to have seen someone!"
"Where?"
"It disappeared again..."
"I'll stop the boat first Just as the two of them stared wide-eyed and hurriedly searched for the trace of the drowning person, a blistered white hand suddenly grabbed the side of the boat, and then a black The hair woman climbed into the boat.
Bella had a hard time imagining what she was going through, but when she stepped on a solid deck, she knew she survived.
"Are you alright? William, go get a blanket and make another cup of hot tea!" The sailor heard the sound and ran towards Bella. He was in a hurry to rescue the drowning man, but he didn't notice the thread hanging from the corner of the woman's mouth. dangerous smile...
A few hours later, a sailboat ran aground tremblingly on the beach, and a woman with a withered face fell off the boat and walked away swaying step by step.
On the floor in the cabin, two corpses were lying cross-legged, and their wide eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension. If they had heard the story of the farmer and the snake when they were children, they would probably not be so confused. What they rescued was a poisonous snake with pure blood!
