Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 223 Subduing the Basilisk (Second Update)

"No wonder it's a thousand-year-old serpent monster!"

The magical dragon controlled by Jerry spewed magical flames that could melt steel, but when it hit the basilisk, it only made the basilisk's scales turn red, without causing much damage.

The machine guns fired by the robot soldiers bounced off the basilisk's hard scales, leaving only faint marks.

Actually, aiming at the basilisk's eyes at this point is still useful. The basilisk's scales can protect against bullets, but its eyes can't.

However, Jerry's goal is to subdue the basilisk and make it his own, not to kill it.

If the basilisk's eyes are destroyed, its most powerful ability will also be lost. In that case, it will be less useful than its magic dragon. After all, if the magic dragon dies, you can just replace the model, but if the basilisk dies, it's really dead.

"What incredible strength!"

The magical flames were useless, so Jerry directly controlled the magical dragon to charge forward and engage the basilisk in hand-to-hand combat.

However, it is clear that the magical dragon's body, constructed of magic, is still not as powerful as the basilisk's true body, which has grown for thousands of years.

It bit the basilisk, but could barely break through its defenses, while the basilisk bit it and left several holes in its body.

Furthermore, in theory, his magical dragon body should be immune to any poison attacks, but after being bitten by the basilisk's teeth, his dragon body seemed to gradually collapse.

It can only be said that the venom on the basilisk's fangs was capable of destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes, proving that it was no ordinary venom.

Crucially, his magical dragon was also completely outmatched in strength, so after a few rounds, he had no choice but to control the magical dragon to retreat hastily.

Seeing that the creature opposite it was trying to escape by breathing fire and biting it, the basilisk was not about to give up so easily. With a flick of its tail, it instantly caught up with the creature.

However, the robot soldiers in mid-air were not idle. They put away their machine guns, revealed the anti-aircraft guns on their backs, and launched a fierce attack on the snake monsters below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A barrage of shells bombarded the ground, and the basilisk roared in fury as it was blasted apart.

Although the anti-aircraft guns couldn't kill it, they did cause it excruciating pain.

Just then, Jerry, controlling the tattered magical dragon, drove the fifty roosters toward the basilisk.

Startled by the sound of cannon fire and driven away by Jerry's magical dragon, the rooster crowed in fear.

When the rooster's crow reached the basilisk, its body trembled as if it had encountered a natural enemy. Forgetting about raising its body to bite the robot soldier, it turned and fled directly towards the Slytherin statue.

They seem to be planning to escape back into Slytherin's maw to hide.

But Jerry wouldn't let it have its way.

Twelve robotic soldiers activated their thrusters on their feet and backs, accelerating rapidly to block the basilisk's path. Their anti-aircraft guns, aimed at the basilisk, unleashed another volley, blasting it backward.

This time, however, the basilisk was not unharmed, unlike before.

As if weakened by the rooster's crowing, the basilisk's defensive capabilities were greatly reduced. This round of anti-aircraft bombardment immediately blew the basilisk's skin open and some of its scales fell off.

Upon seeing this, the twelve robot soldiers retracted their anti-aircraft guns, then simultaneously raised their giant swords crackling with electricity, flapped their steel wings, and slashed at the basilisk monster that was still trying to escape.

The robot soldier's body is already heavy, and its steel wings and giant sword also have considerable weight. Combined with the force of its dive, the power of a single sword strike is quite considerable.

Moreover, it's not just one, but twelve of them taking turns diving and slashing. The basilisk has virtually no chance of defending or dodging.

So, in less than five minutes, the once terrifying snake monster was now lying motionless on the ground, like a dead snake, barely alive.

Outside the secret room, Jerry slowly opened his eyes, dispelled the Dragon Transformation Curse, and returned his spirit to his body, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

He took out the red ball again, used Voldemort's Parseltongue, opened the wall, and walked in with elegant steps.

As a mage, the proper skill lies in eliminating enemies remotely using magical pets, magical items, and various spells before they even see your true form.

How can someone who casts a spell and then gets close enough to stab someone in the kidneys with a dagger be called an elegant mage?

Upon reaching the center of the secret chamber, the basilisk's eyes were blindfolded by two robot soldiers, and its body was pinned down by ten robots wielding giant swords to prevent it from launching a counterattack.

"The agreement has been reached!"

Jerry moved his hands incessantly, chanting the incantation for a contract spell. A moment later, he pressed a contract magic circle onto the basilisk's head.

"Huh, trying to resist!"

When Jerry saw the contract magic circle imprinted on the basilisk's head, it didn't immediately penetrate but was still trembling on the surface. Jerry knew that the basilisk's will was still resisting and unwilling to be controlled by Jerry.

"If you resist again, you'll die!"

Through the magic of the covenant, Jerry transmitted his murderous intent directly into the mind of the basilisk.

That's right. If the covenant magic can't subdue the basilisk, then of course he can't keep it alive for the New Year. He'll definitely kill it on the spot to prevent it from running away and harming the students of Hogwarts.

At this moment, the ten robots pressed their giant swords down on the basilisk's body, bringing it real pressure to die.

Perhaps it was the primal instinct for survival, or perhaps the basilisk, having lived for a thousand years in the sealed chamber, didn't want to die just yet. In any case, after Jerry issued his threat, the basilisk's resistance immediately weakened considerably.

Before long, the magic of the covenant successfully entered the basilisk's head, and Jerry was able to clearly sense the basilisk's thoughts and issue commands to it.

The basilisk has been successfully captured!

After the twelve robot soldiers released the basilisk's restraints, Jerry began using healing magic to treat its wounds.

The basilisk's magical defense mainly comes from its scales, and since many of its scales have already been cut off, Jerry's healing magic will not be greatly affected.

After stitching up the basilisk's wounds, Jerry put the basilisk, along with twelve robot soldiers and fifty roosters, into his box.

With the basilisk, Jerry has another incredibly powerful trump card.

Although he felt that the Basilisk's ability to kill anyone it glared at might not be effective against everyone in the Marvel universe, it was certainly something that ordinary alien soldiers and alien creatures would absolutely not be able to defend against.

In other words, after subduing the basilisk, Jerry no longer has to fear being ganged up on.

"Restored to its original condition!"

Using a restoration spell, Jerry restored the damaged secret room to its original state. He then took out a small yellow ball to close the secret room walls and returned to the girls' washroom on the second floor of the castle.

He restored the pool to its normal state, cast an illusion spell on himself, and quietly returned to the Slytherin dormitory.
