The chamber ceiling shook violently, and countless stone pillars seemed to be under attack by some powerful magic spell.
It poured down!
One of them, like a nail, embedded the basilisk's tail firmly into the ground!
Hiss!
The wounded basilisk let out a painful howl.
Ignoring Harry in front of him, it twisted and rolled around, trying to break free from the stone pillar's restraints.
However, its behavior did not alleviate its pain; instead, it made the wound rupture even more severely.
The Chamber of Secrets was further damaged by the constant falling of stone pillars due to its struggles.
One stone pillar after another fell, crashing heavily onto its body.
Harry stared blanky at the scene before him, completely bewildered by what had happened.
He thought he had almost been bitten to death just now.
How had it suddenly turned into a snake monster and gotten smashed to death?
His face was completely bewildered, utterly unaware that a stone pillar was falling straight down above his head.
"Idiot!"
Argus struck again, casting a spell that slightly shifted the position of the pillar above Harry's head.
It was he who had secretly used a spell to cause the stone pillars above the Chamber of Secrets to collapse.
As a rare XXXXX-class magical creature, the basilisk had ridiculously high magic resistance.
Argus knew that if he had not used this method, he would probably have exposed a lot of his weaknesses.
Having tormented the basilisk to this extent, the mission of protection was accomplished.
However... there was still one person who needed to be dealt with.
Argus turned his gaze to Lockhart, who was still pretending to be unconscious on the ground.
He could not possibly reveal the Acolytes' secret weapon to outsiders!
The moment Lockhart received the wand and cloak, his future fate was sealed.
The basilisk incident was the best opportunity!
He had secretly targeted Fawkes precisely so that it would not see it!
...
More and more stones were falling on the basilisk.
At first, the basilisk was able to dodge and struggle a few times.
Gradually, the amplitude of the twisting became smaller and the frequency became lower
Until finally, it lay motionless on the ground.
Harry and Ron, who had been hiding at the chamber entrance, waited until the chamber was completely silent before tentatively approaching.
"It... is dead?"
Ron, not daring to approach the basilisk, stood behind Harry and asked the question.
"It must be dead, right? Fawkes gouged out its eyes, and there are so many stone pillars stuck in its body."
"How could it not die?"
Harry was not sure either, so he picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it.
The stone struck the basilisk, making a clanging sound as it hit a hard object.
The basilisk did not react at all.
"It's dead! It's dead!"
"Harry, we killed the monster in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! We are heroes of Hogwarts!"
Ron jumped and danced with excitement, as if he were the one who had been too scared to move by the basilisk.
Harry was also very excited at this moment.
The Slytherin heir symbol that surrounded his head could finally be removed today!
Having personally killed the Chamber of Secrets monster, who could still claim he was the heir of Slytherin?
The two huddled together, supporting each other as they walked back toward the chamber entrance they had come from, wanting to tell the Hogwarts professors and Aurors the good news.
After taking only a few steps, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Obliviate!"
A flash of white light struck Ron, who was standing next to Harry.
Harry fell to the ground along with him!
"Professor Lockhart! You... you!"
Harry turned to look at Gilderoy Lockhart in disbelief.
"Don't move, Harry!"
"Be a good boy and throw away your wand!"
Lockhart pointed his wand at Harry, a strange smile on his face that Harry had never seen before
"Harry, you're such a lucky star!"
"I never imagined you could handle the monster in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets!"
"This will add another classic to my Lockhart series!"
"So you've spent your entire career stealing from others like this?" Harry stared at Lockhart in disbelief.
He could accept Lockhart making things up in his book, but he could not imagine that Lockhart would cause the original participants to lose their memories for the sake of so-called fame!
They brazenly enjoyed the glory that belonged to others!
"What do you mean by stealing? I'm just bringing them greater glory."
"If it weren't for me, who would know what they went through!"
"I will expose your true colors to the entire wizarding world!" Harry gritted his teeth.
His fists clenched without him even realizing it.
Lockhart laughed, a wild and triumphant laugh: "Don't worry, you won't have that chance!"
"You'll forget everything about this place before you leave!"
"The savior of the magical world and his companions lost their memories due to head injuries from hitting a stone pillar."
"Professor Gilderoy Lockhart saved them with his wisdom and strength, and killed the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets of Slytherin!"
"I believe that once this book is on the shelves, it will definitely cause an unprecedented sensation in the magical world!"
"Alright, Harry, I've said enough, considering how much mail you've helped me with lately."
"It's time to erase your memory!"
Lockhart smiled with his familiar eight teeth and waved his wand.
"Obliviate!"
A white light flashed from his wand, and Harry was sent flying.
His eyes gradually became vacant, and finally he collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"That's finally resolved!"
"I need to think carefully about how to write this book and what kind of title I should give it."
"Searching for the Monster in the Locked Room with the Savior? No, no, that title isn't eye-catching enough, and it doesn't highlight my role."
Lockhart seemed certain that he would once again be in the spotlight of the entire wizarding world.
Laughter echoed throughout the chamber.
"Expelliarmus!"
A thick beam of red light struck from behind him!
He was blasted to the ground!
"Who! Who is it!"
Lockhart frantically grabbed his wand, his eyes filled with terror.
"Professor Lockhart, aren't you laughing too soon?"
Argus's figure slowly appeared behind him.
The wand was aimed at Lockhart's back.
"Grindelwald? Is that you?"
Lockhart was terrified by the appearance of Argus.
However, his eyes darted around as if he had thought of something, and he immediately relaxed.
"Mr. Grindelwald, we are business partners."
"I am the Acolytes' big customer, your cash cow."
"If you let me go tonight, I promise you that the sales rights for this book will be exclusively granted to Acolytes Bookstore."
"Other books are fine too!"
Before he finished speaking, his hand flashed out to his waist, and a thin red beam of light shot straight at Argus!
Argus scoffed and dodged the attack by slightly shifting his body to the side.
With a backhand Expelliarmus, Lockhart was completely knocked down.
If Lockhart had not activated the Shield Charm on his cloak at the last moment, that blow would probably have taken most of his life.
Argus, wand in hand, slowly approached Lockhart.
"Professor Lockhart, you're using what I sold you against me?"
Argus wondered if he should call Lockhart stupid or adorably innocent.
