Chapter 55
The secret room was quiet for a short time.
Harry panted and fell from the Snakemon, covered in black blood. He staggered up, pulled out his wand and pointed at Tom Riddle.
The phoenix landed on Brian's shoulder again, and the heavy weight pressed Brian's shoulder slightly tilted.
Tom looked at them with a gloomy face. He slowly raised his wand and curled his lips slightly, "It's good, I can solve all this myself..."
"Where is Dumbledore?" Brian stuttered his lips slightly and said to Fox.
Fox stared straight at Tom with his black eyes, ignoring his meaning.
Brian raised his wand expressionlessly and said softly: "Well, since Dumbledore wants to enjoy a show..."
"Give up your weapon!" Harry first used a spell, and a bright red light rushed towards Tom.
The red light turned back in front of Tom and rushed towards Harry. Brian's wand turned slightly, helping him block the spell that bounced back.
"The diary is coming!" Brian shook his wand slightly, but there was no movement.
"Bryan, you should know that I will not put my life here." Tom said with a smile. He waved his wand and activated the stone giant snake sculptures around him. They made sharp hissings to the sky, sweeping their heads and tails frantically.
"But how far can you get away from it?" Brian said softly.
"You guess..." Tom whispered.
Harry was forced to the other side of the secret room by the dancing stone snake, and was struggling and didn't care about this side.
"Thunderbolt explosion!" Brian's magic wand pointed at the head of a stone snake, causing it to explode directly. Countless tiny stone chips splashed around, falling on his body and causing pain.
"How much magic can you have now? Use the body of a little wizard?" Brian avoided the subsequent sweep and whispered, "Fancy..."
He waved his wand again, and another stone snake burst out, and the stone hit the walls and ground crisply, as if playing a storm.
Fox was circling and dancing beside Tom, singing a high-pitched battle song, and spitting out a mouthful of flames at him from time to time. The flying flames spirals bloomed with heat, making him have to avoid it in a hurry or use a spell to fight, and holes were burned out on his robe by fire.
"Avadasauer!" Tom roared a spell at the Phoenix coldly.
Fox turned into a beam of fire and disappeared in place. With the dazzling and beautiful sparks, it suddenly appeared behind Tom and avoided the killing curse. It sprayed a gust of flames at Tom, not hitting Tom, but the violent air flow that came with the flames drove him away.
"Give up your weapon!" Brian seized the opportunity and a red light hit Tom, causing the wand in his hand to tremble violently, but did not fly out of his hand.
But Fox, who was flying in flames, grabbed Tom's unsteady wand, snatched the wand from his hands, and flew high to the dome.
"Damn the smelly bird!" Tom cursed in anger.
The phoenix flew down, and the wand in its mouth had now ignited a flame and turned into a long torch. It spit out the wand burned into coke and flew around Tom.
"Damn it!" Brian released a spell at Tom again.
Tom was hit, but he just staggered back a few steps before he stood firm.
"You have no choice to me, Brian." Tom grinned, "even if I lose my wand, what can you do to me?"
Fox turned around Tom a few times, and wisps of flames emerged from his golden bird's beak, but he did not attack him again, and seemed a little hesitant.
Then, the Phoenix flew to Harry and helped Harry deal with the stone snakes that were entangled with him.
"Brian, what are you going to do?" Tom opened his arms to Brian and jokingly said, "You know that ordinary spells are useless to me... Come on, use life-seeking curse to me..."
"Damn it!" Brian waved a spell expressionlessly, but only made Tom take a few steps back.
"Too indecisive, Brian." Tom said sarcastically, "Even at this time, you dare not use that spell..."
He pointed at Brian with one hand, and strands of ghostly black things floated out of his fingertips, floating towards Brian with his teeth and claws, bringing a heavy aura of coldness and despair.
Tom retreated to the position of the statue, as if he wanted to retreat to the secret room inside the statue.
"Hu God Guard!"
A shallow white mist rushed out from the tip of Brian's wand, the result of his own practice, and the patron saint was not yet formed.
The white fog faced the black ghost, covering them like a big white fog net, and they were destroyed together in struggle and confrontation.
"Yugadium, Leviosa!" Brian pointed to a small stone next to him, letting it sway and sway.
After Brian waved his wand, the stone rushed towards Tom like a cannonball, hitting him hard in the chest.
Tom, who was retreating, was caught off guard and hit Slytherin's statue hard, spurting a thread of blood from his mouth.
"So, Tom, you're just good at resistance to spells..." Brian once again let more stones hang up, "I don't know if you know what physics is, but your body can't withstand physical attacks now."
"So what? You have to kill this body to drive me out, Brian." Tom licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and smiled. Angry and cold red light flashed in his eyes.
"Come and try it, see what your dear principal will do with you?" Tom's mouth was filled with a fierce sneer.
Fox had solved the stone snakes at this time, and it flew over and danced and sang high in the air.
"Since Dumbledore has made up his mind not to show up, I can only find a way myself..." Brian said coldly.
He waved his wand and fired several stones hard. Tom flexibly avoided most of them, and then cast a spell to break several stones, but he didn't notice that a stone under his feet bounced up under Brian's command and hit the back of his head hard.
"Peng!"
Tom staggered forward and threw himself to the ground. The sudden fainting of his body made his expression twist. His fingers bounced, and just as Brian thought he would jump up suddenly, he lost movement.
Brian narrowed his eyes, pointing his wand in his hand alertly.
Harry ran over panting, a big hole in his cheek was cut open, and blood flowed. He pointed his wand at the person lying on the ground, and said in a trembling tone: "Is he dead?"
"It shouldn't be." Brian said indifferently, tilting his head, "Fox, go and have a look?"
Phoenix's black eyes glanced at Brian unhappily, and it flew over, holding Fred's clothes in his mouth, and turned him over.
Fox whistled softly.
"It seems that I just fainted," said Brian. "It seems that physical dizziness is quite useful."
"Is that true? In other words... Voldemort is still in his body?" Harry said hard, rubbing the blood on his face randomly with his left hand.
"This...who knows?" Brian showed a mysterious smile.
"So...where is that diary? I think, as long as we find that diary..." Harry looked around.
"Who knows where it will be." Brian played with the wand in his hand and pursed his pale lips. "I didn't find it here."
"By the way, Ron!" Harry ran towards the corner of the room, and found Ron who was fainted on the ground with a look of dust in a pile of gravel.
"Tie quickly." Brian pointed at the person lying on the ground and tied him up.
Fox tweeted softly, and his golden claws grabbed the rope from Fred's body and flew up with him.
"Let's go back first." Brian whispered. He pointed at Ron and let his body float up.
"Okay." Harry looked at his unconscious friends worriedly. He picked up the scaffolding hat and sword on the ground, grabbed Ron's ankle with one hand, and walked outside together.
They returned along the way, and Fox's figure emitted a gentle glow in the darkness, illuminating the way ahead.
At the entrance of the water pipe, Fox swung at them with long golden feathers behind their tails, and his black eyes looked at them quietly.
"Is it let us catch it?" Harry said.
"Obviously," Brian grabbed the warm feathers on Fox's tail and stretched out his other hand to Harry.
Harry stuffed his sword and the division cap into his belt, holding Brian's hand, and his other hand tightly tugging Ron's ankle.
The phoenix flapped its wings and flew, a strange sense of ease swept across their bodies. They rushed up the water pipe, and the cold air flowed against their hair.
