Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 197 Stepping into the secret chamber, an ancient magical ruin is discovered!

Upon seeing this, the many young wizards who had come down from the stage exclaimed in surprise.

They already knew Lockhart's strength from the battle just now, but they didn't expect that even though Lockhart was so powerful, Harry could still neutralize his attacks in this way.

Snape's expression shifted slightly; Lockhart had just humiliated him, and Harry was now humiliating Lockhart in the same way.

Could it be that Harry wants to help him get revenge?

Thinking of this, Snape's gaze toward Harry softened even more.

Compared to the surrounding audience, Lockhart was much more embarrassed at this moment, and he said somewhat awkwardly:

"Hmm, a very good Curse Stopper. I have to say again, our savior is truly the most outstanding little wizard I have ever seen in my life."

"Then let's continue our duel!"

Lockhart wanted to continue the attack, so he began to use Transfiguration to attack Harry in the same way he attacked Snape.

Furthermore, because he used more ancient magic, the power of his transformation spells was also much stronger, and even the thickness of the most basic stone walls was increased several times!
However, by this time Harry had already determined that Lockhart possessed some ancient magic.

In addition, he had another question.

That is, is Lockhart related to Voldemort?
Harry had never seen a wizard who possessed ancient magic before, and now two wizards who possessed ancient magic had suddenly appeared. How could Harry not be suspicious?
Normally, Harry doesn't have a reason to investigate Lockhart, but that doesn't mean he can't create one himself!
If Lockhart behaves strangely enough during the duel, or if he is seriously injured and needs to stay in bed for a while, either way, it would give Harry a reason to approach him!
Harry's lips curled into a slight smile, and pale purple lightning gradually appeared on his body, eventually forming an incredibly powerful electromagnetic field on his wand.

All of this happened in an instant, and then Harry suddenly conjured a lightning sword and accelerated it continuously within the electromagnetic field...

That's right, this is the Railgun!

boom!
A piercing roar erupted. To be considerate of the young wizards around him, Harry lowered the sonic boom as the Railgun broke the sound barrier, but even so, it still made the young wizards around him feel uncomfortable.

If the young wizards around him were like this, Lockhart, as the target, was even more miserable!
The position he had just painstakingly set up using Transfiguration had not provided any resistance; instead, it restricted his movement!

Lockhart felt a flash of light before his eyes, followed by a blur, and he was blasted away by an immense force, losing consciousness!
Not a buddy?

Starting move: ultimate move?

Is this right?
After Lockhart was knocked away and lost consciousness, the surrounding young wizards realized what had happened. They saw a fist-sized through wound on Lockhart's chest.

If this injury is not treated quickly, even a wizard with such a constitution will die within a short time.

Amidst the commotion of the young wizards, Harry quickly stepped forward, fed Lockhart a potion of life, healing most of his injuries, and then shouted to the surrounding young wizards:

"Professor Lockhart's injuries are too serious, get him to the infirmary quickly!"

The young wizards then realized what was happening and hurriedly carried Lockhart to the infirmary.

Harry smiled as he watched Lockhart being carried away, preparing to go and cause him trouble that evening.

Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Snape standing next to him, giving him an ugly smile!

what's the situation?
What's wrong with Snape today? He actually smiled at him.

Harry found it unbelievable and wondered if there was something wrong with Snape's brain.
……

Late at night, Harry sneaked out of the Gryffindor common room and headed to the school hospital.

The school hospital was located atop the College Tower in the castle, connected to the clock tower on the other side. When Harry arrived at the hospital's entrance, he could see the bright full moon outside the window.

Pushing open the door to the school hospital, Harry found Madam Pomfrey's office nearby. He quickly drew a rune on the office door to block out all outside sounds before heading towards the ward.

Because Hogwarts has a large student body, the ward area is a huge hall with rows of beds on both sides, separated by screens, so that doctors can provide individual treatment and care to patients.

There was only one person in the bed in the ward at that moment, and Harry immediately noticed Lockhart lying on it.

Lockhart's actions immediately caught Harry's attention.

He propped himself up, took out a diary, and began writing and drawing in it. During this time, his expression kept changing, as if he were communicating with someone!
Sure enough, Lockhart has a problem!
Harry then focused his attention on the notebook in his hand, sensing a faint aura of ancient magic emanating from it!

This led Harry to a certain guess: could it be Voldemort's method of resurrection?
After confirming that Lockhart was suspicious, Harry was preparing to test him and capture him, then discuss the matter with Dumbledore.

But suddenly, Harry noticed Lockhart's expression change slightly, and the next moment he seemed like a completely different person. He looked the same as before, but his demeanor was completely different.

Harry instantly recognized the source of that cold and elegant aura—Voldemort!

Harry knew that Voldemort had discovered his presence when he forcibly took control of Lockhart's body.

Neither side hesitated and launched an attack!

The next moment, the deep purple annihilation magic beam collided with the deep green disintegration beam, annihilating each other!

After a brief stalemate, the deep green gradually suppressed the deep purple, and the intersection of the two beams of magic slowly moved towards Voldemort! Upon seeing this, Voldemort's eyes widened slightly, a hint of disbelief flashing in them.

Keep in mind that he is now using ancient magic, which is far more powerful than modern magic. So why is he no match for Harry in a head-on confrontation, even though he is using ancient magic?

Could it be that this savior is now using ancient magic?!

Almost instantly realizing the dire situation, Voldemort made a decisive move, abruptly ceasing his magical confrontation with Harry.

He turned and flew in an arc through the air, fleeing backward.

Now that he has been exposed, if he continues to linger here, the commotion caused by the fierce battle will definitely attract Dumbledore, and then he won't be able to escape even if he wants to!
Seeing Voldemort turn and run away, Harry immediately gave chase, and the two pursued each other quickly inside the castle.

No one knew what kind of magic Voldemort used to be able to pass through walls and move quickly, so Harry, in his accelerated time state, couldn't catch up with him for a while.

As Harry moved forward, he gradually determined the direction Voldemort was heading, and his destination was the girls' restroom!

Could that be the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin?!
When he finally rushed into the girls' restroom, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, only to find that Voldemort had already disappeared.

However, after searching for a while, Harry soon discovered a delicate, openwork snake pattern on an inconspicuous faucet.

Harry had an idea and immediately reached out to try to move the faucet, but no matter how hard he tried, the faucet wouldn't budge.

Clearly, this is not the correct way to do it.

At that moment, Harry suddenly remembered that the Chamber of Secrets was once owned by Slytherin, and the most important characteristic of Slytherin was Parseltongue.

So without hesitation, he tried reciting it in a snake-like accent:

"Open the door, my friend! I am the heir of Slytherin?"

However, there was no response.

Harry tried again:

"Praise Slytherin?"

"Merlin's beard!"

After several unsuccessful attempts, Harry gave up and simply commanded:

"Open!"

buzzing...

The faucet in front trembled, and a hole about the size of a person slowly opened.

This made Harry's face darken; the password was actually quite simple, and he had been overthinking it!
Then, without hesitation, he stepped forward and jumped into the hole!

Although the girls' restroom was abandoned, the pipes underneath were still filthy. Harry wrapped his body in a layer of telekinesis to prevent the filth from getting on him.

Harry reached the finish line, and a vast underground space suddenly appeared before him.

The dim, yellowish light struggled to seep in from who-knows-where, casting dappled, indistinct shadows on the jagged, craggy rocks.

Proceeding through this underground space, and passing through an underground tunnel, Harry discovered a huge snakeskin.

Harry instantly realized that this was undoubtedly the shed skin of the Basilisk.

This means that he did not go astray, and this place is not far from the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin!

Harry quickened his pace, and soon a cold, heavy metal door appeared before him.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then gave the order again:
"Open the door!"

The serpentine pattern on it slid rapidly, and then the door opened, revealing a dark, damp, and enormous palace in front of Harry!
The palace was dimly lit and filled with a mysterious, verdant atmosphere, giving it an eerie and unsettling feel.

On both sides of the palace, many stone pillars carved with coiled and intertwined serpents stand tall, supporting the ceiling that melts into the darkness above, casting long, dark shadows.

At the end, right against the wall, stands a huge statue.

It was an old, decrepit face, with sparse beard trailing on the ground, giving off an unusually eerie feeling.

At that moment, Harry's target, Lockhart, was standing in the very center of the palace.

His appearance had changed slightly from before; his face seemed to melt, slowly changing and becoming unlike himself, instead resembling the young Voldemort that Harry had seen before.

What intrigued Harry even more was that there was a shallow pool of water on Lockhart's side, which was also Voldemort's side.

It is filled with a layer of light blue magical liquid that has materialized, emitting an extremely chaotic and powerful magical fluctuation!
That small pool of magical liquid was actually all materialized ancient magic!
