Chapter 239: Those Who Oppose Me Shall Die!
Chapter 239: Those Who Oppose Me Shall Die!
"What about my two Roosters?" Ivan suddenly thought of the two Roosters he had been staring at.
Turning his head, he realized that there were only two lifelike chicken-shaped stone statues...
After using so much Magic Power, was it just Petrification?
Thinking about it, Ivan felt a bit disappointed. He had thought it would be like the Basilisk's eyes, where a single glare could kill.
Ivan shook his head and waved his Wand, intending to dispel the Petrification spell. But after reciting the incantation, the two chicken-shaped stone statues showed no reaction at all.
"Finite Incantatem!" Ivan tried again, but still could not reverse the Petrification.
Ivan’s expression changed.
He remembered that in the original timeline, Colin, Hermione, and others had entered an irreversible Petrification state after seeing the Basilisk’s eyes through a Camera, Mirror, or a Puddle of water.
"So this isn't just simple Petrification, but a form of weakening Direct Death!" Ivan muttered to himself.
No wonder, even though he had Petrified the two Roosters, his Magical Eyes were still continuously draining his Magic Power. It seemed that if enough Magic Power was infused, it could achieve the effect of killing with a single glare.
However, if it took this much Magic Power to kill two chickens, wouldn't it be even harder to kill a Wizard?
The earlier rampage of the snake's eyes also made Ivan realize that the new ability he had gained would not be easy to master.
He would need a long time to experiment and practice to turn it into a combat skill!
...
In the following days, Ivan experimented with the new Bloodline Fusion magic he had obtained.
This led to the rats and Spiders in the castle suffering greatly, and the Room of Requirement was filled with lifelike stone statues.
While experimenting with the new magic, Ivan did not forget another important matter: finding the lost Horcrux!
The Horcrux had been missing for nearly a week, and Tom-Riddle had not caused any trouble, nor had there been any signs of the Chamber of Secrets being opened.
This abnormality made Ivan feel a growing sense of unease.
Logically, given the tension between him and Tom-Riddle, the latter should have immediately used the Basilisk to take revenge on him.
Could it be that the Horcrux had been picked up by a professor, or even by Dumbledore?
"You can't just give up like this, Tom. That's not your style!" Ivan muttered to himself.
After dinner, Ivan carried a few captured rats to the Room of Requirement as usual.
Walking down a corridor on the eighth floor, Ivan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and a chill ran down his spine.
At the end of the corridor, a girl in Ravenclaw’s uniform lay in a pool of blood, with a clear wound on her left wrist.
On the opposite wall, a message was written in red, unidentified liquid.
Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Those who oppose me shall die! —Ivan-Hals
"Damn it, Tom, you're trying to frame me!" Ivan felt a surge of anger when he saw his name at the end, but this was clearly not the time to focus on that.
Ivan quickly ran to the Ravenclaw girl, checked her, and found she was still breathing, just unconscious. He immediately grabbed her wrist and pointed his Wand at it.
"Wound Healing!" Ivan slowly recited the healing spell he had learned from Dawgut, and the wound on the girl’s left hand quickly healed.
However, the girl’s face was still frighteningly pale. Ivan hesitated for a moment, then decided to leave her and quickly dealt with the message on the wall.
Ivan knew that such a framing tactic was crude, but it was sometimes exceptionally direct and effective.
After all, he had really entered the Chamber of Secrets, and he couldn't withstand any investigation!
"Aqua Eructo!" Ivan summoned a pile of water to wash away the blood-red words on the wall, but the words were not so easily cleaned and remained attached to the surface.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from a distance.
"Dissendium!" In a hurry, Ivan cast the splitting spell, blowing up his name, and then cast the Disillusionment Charm to conceal himself.
From the other end of the corridor, two Ravenclaw students heard the noise and walked in, puzzled.
In the next moment, a high-pitched scream echoed throughout the entire floor.
"Ah!!!"
Ivan covered his ears and, while still invisible, carefully avoided the two Ravenclaw students and slowly walked out.
However, he did not intend to leave. Instead, he calmly hid in a corner where no one would notice him, canceled the Disillusionment Charm, and then walked back out, blending into the crowd and pretending to have just arrived. He adjusted his expression and returned to the scene.
In just a short while, the corridor was already packed with people. Everyone gathered around, staring at the terrifying sight, and even a young girl fainted on the spot.
Ivan's heart was filled with anger. He carefully observed everyone's expressions, especially those of the first few Wizards to arrive.
Unfortunately, under his scrutiny, everyone's expressions seemed normal, with just the right amount of fear and shock that didn't appear to be faked.
"Move aside! What are you all doing here?" Professor Mcgonagall's voice came from the back, and the young Wizards automatically made a path for her.
Professor Mcgonagall stepped forward and saw the Ravenclaw girl lying in a pool of blood.
"What on earth is going on?!" Professor Mcgonagall's heart skipped a beat, and she almost fainted at the sight.
Professor Mcgonagall quickly ran to the Ravenclaw girl, using her trembling hand to check the girl's breathing.
"Thank goodness, she's still alive!" Professor Mcgonagall breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost thought the poor child was already...
Professor Mcgonagall stood up, preparing to take the Ravenclaw girl to the hospital wing.
However, Madam Pomfrey, who had been notified, had already arrived, accompanied by Dumbledore and several other professors from Hogwarts.
"Goodness, what happened here?" Madam Pomfrey was also startled by the blood on the ground and quickly took over from Professor Mcgonagall to examine the girl's condition.
Lockhart also rushed over to see how the girl was doing but was pushed away by Madam Pomfrey. Given the urgency of the situation, she didn't want anyone getting in her way.
Dumbledore, meanwhile, gazed at the words on the wall, paying particular attention to the damaged parts.
Ivan noticed this and his heart raced even faster.
"Who was the first to arrive here?" Dumbledore looked around and asked.
"It was us, Professor! But when we arrived, she was already lying there", the two unfortunate Ravenclaw boys raised their hands, clearly terrified, and quickly explained that they were not involved.
