Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 395 A Bold Test: Staring Directly into the Deadly Serpent's Eyes! Soul Refining and Cor

"Hiss ha ha hiss—" (Come out here!)

Dudley loudly issued the command in Parsleyan.

In Voldemort's memory, that's exactly how he commanded the Basilisk.

At that time, Voldemort commanded the basilisk to be careful at all times, avoiding the basilisk's eyes so that he could not see them.

Upon hearing the long-awaited call, the basilisk lurking dormant within Salazar's colossal statue was instantly awakened.

It stared at those bright yellow snake eyes that possessed the power of instant death, and began to move its massive snake body.

The Salazar statue opened its mouth automatically, making way for the basilisk.

The basilisk climbed down the statue and saw the person who had awakened it this time, unlike the last one.

However, none of that matters.

As long as there is a snake-like voice, it must have a blood connection with its true master, and it only needs to obey commands.

"Hiss hiss ha, ha hiss?" (Slytherin's heir! What command you have to awaken me?)

As the basilisk crawled down, it flicked its tongue and asked in snake language.

"Hiss, hiss haha!" (I want you to give me everything!)

Dudley made no attempt to hide his rude request and went straight to the point.

"Hissing?" (What is that?)

The basilisk didn't understand and kept asking questions in snake language.

However, it suddenly felt its strength being drained away, and at the same time, it could no longer climb down.

Turn the snake's head to take a look.

It turned out to be the statue of its owner, which stretched out its huge stone arms and gripped it firmly.

At the same time, the stone arms glowed red, looking very powerful.

"Hah?" (What's going on?)

As the basilisk asked questions in Parseltongue, it turned its head back to look at the Slytherin successor who had awakened it.

However, upon turning his head, the first thing he saw was not the blind successor, but a huge, sinister ghost claw that seemed to be real.

It now understood that the successor wasn't after its fighting prowess, but rather its snake flesh!

But it still underestimated the problem.

Not just snake meat, Daddy wants it all!

Dudley first used the Disengagement Charm to dissipate the basilisk's strength, and then used Polymorph and Power-Amplifying Charms to control the Salazar statue and seize the basilisk's serpentine body.

Then, gathering the power of a group of beast-shaped ghost generals, they condensed a powerful ghost claw and went straight for the snake monster's soul.

Aside from those snake eyes that could kill anyone who looked at them, and the venom that could corrode Soul Weapons, the Basilisk was nothing more than an ordinary large snake that was a bit stronger, bigger, and had longer fangs.

The basilisk was powerless against Dudley, who could easily subdue a legendary wizard with a little effort.

Soon, the enormous demonic claw that Dudley had conjured penetrated the basilisk's body and seized its soul.

Slowly pull it outwards.

He needed to obtain the complete corpse of the basilisk, and this attack was extremely suitable for him.

The basilisk was completely exhausted. Its snake body was gripped by the statue, and its snake soul was torn by the ghostly claws. It was in excruciating pain, yet powerless to do anything about it.

Upon hearing the snake-like voice, it became careless and failed to dodge.

But since it was a matter of life and death, it still had to make a final struggle.

The basilisk used all its strength to open its mouth as wide as possible and bite down hard on the ghost's claw.

Dudley's Ghost Claw can switch between reality and illusion. At this moment, it is in an illusory state, and the basilisk bites in vain. However, the venom sprayed from its fangs ignores this illusory state and injures the Ghost Claw.

The venom corroded the flesh, wisps of black smoke rose, and the ghost claw sustained minor injuries, but was otherwise unharmed.

And it returned to its original state in an instant.

Now, the basilisk had no more tricks up its sleeve.

The snake's eyes were fierce, but filled with despair.

Dudley's mental power detected everything clearly.

This scene inspired Dudley to have a new idea.

The enormous demonic claw that had been tearing at the basilisk's soul temporarily dissipated.

Then, Dudley removed the seal on his X-ray vision and opened his eyes.

The basilisk thought it was doomed, but it didn't expect its enemy to be so reckless as to open its eyes. It quickly stared directly into Dudley's eyes, afraid that Dudley would not see its deadly serpentine pupils.

"As bright as day!"

Dudley waved his hand, casting an advanced version of the Fluorescent Spell.

A massive light source appeared out of thin air, rose to the ceiling, and then exploded.

The entire secret room instantly went from pitch black to bright and spacious.

The enormous basilisk, gripped by the statue, was now fully revealed before Dudley's eyes.

This also includes those bright yellow snake eyes that seem to kill anyone who looks at them.

Dudley, who could look directly into those snake eyes, did not die like Myrtle did before, nor did he show any signs of petrification or stiffening.

Stay healthy as always.

"Hiss!" (That's impossible!)

The basilisk was stunned, flicking its tongue and uttering an extremely shocked exclamation in snake language.

"I'm used to being cautious and prudent, and it's really hard to change that in a short time."

Dudley looked at the basilisk and muttered to himself, "Also, although the basilisk's eyes have the ability to kill people invisibly, they are not considered to be at the conceptual level of power."

If Death only had similar methods, it would be much easier to deal with.

Just now, when Dudley was capturing the basilisk's soul, he suddenly thought of the Grim Reaper from the basilisk's deadly snake eyes.

Considering that they would soon be taking the initiative to attack Death, but they knew nothing about Death's methods.

Why not let the basilisk make the most of its remaining power before it dies, and use its abilities to test the effects of the two passive conceptual repair spells that Dudley set up for himself?

If even the Basilisk's power cannot be resisted by the conceptual repair spell, then there's no point in talking about dealing with Death.

As Dudley had predicted, the basilisk's snake eyes were no match for the conceptual repair spell.

If it cannot break through the conceptual repair spell that makes an attack disappear, let alone cause Dudley to be damaged and trigger the conceptual repair spell that repairs his own state.

The basilisk's snake-like eyes can kill any creature it sees.

This is actually a powerful trigger-based black magic spell; 'seeing the snake's eyes' is the trigger condition.

Once triggered, the basilisk's snake eyes will project an invisible and intangible deadly force along the line of sight, causing the observer to die.

However, when faced with Dudley, this invisible and intangible deadly force, once unleashed, reverts to its non-existent state before it was generated, that is, it automatically disappears, and naturally cannot have any effect on Dudley.

This is the result that Dali just discovered using his mental power.

"It's an extremely good ability, but ultimately, it can only take lives. I have countless ways to achieve this effect, and no one in this world can resist it."

Dudley muttered to himself, "But if there's a good chance of fusion, it wouldn't be bad to make these eyeballs into magical items for fusion later."

He looked at the basilisk, but spoke in human language.

The basilisk seemed to understand, but was utterly desperate.

Dudley, being kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see the serpent continue to despair. So, his enormous demonic claw reappeared, along with dozens of thick, soul-snatching chains. In an instant, he seized the serpent's soul and dragged it into the Soul Control Space.

A black soul flame appeared within the Soul Control Space, adding another member to the beast-shaped demon general's team.

Meanwhile, outside, Dali opened a spatial passage and carefully stored the complete basilisk corpse in the magical material storage area of ​​his personal space.
