Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 62 Wizard and Basilisk

In the dark and terrifying underground room, amidst the slimy sounds of the basilisk's writhing body, Li Wei's calm voice rang out.

"Sound and Image Preservation (Sound Preservation Magic)".

"I am Li Wei, and I will now officially begin recording the entire process of fighting the basilisk."

"Because of the limitation that snakes can die from eye contact, I chose to use sensory magic to amplify my hearing and smell."

It still sounded somewhat listless, calm yet a little distant, just like usual—but Harry would swear on Merlin's underwear that he had never liked the voice as much as he did now!
Just as he suspected, Professor Levi did not deceive them—he did release the basilisk, but he did not intend to use it to kill people; rather, he intended to kill it and resolve the negative effects of the locked chamber!

But what is the other party doing right now?
Harry wrapped his invisibility cloak tighter around himself and hid behind a large stone pillar, quietly observing how things would unfold—although this change made his worries seem somewhat unfounded, it was good that things hadn't turned out the terrible situation he and Madam Grey had initially anticipated.

"First, we will conduct a physical strength test, and then protect ourselves with dragon scales."

The air was filled with the sounds of scales growing and canines interlocking, as if something hard was layering, interlocking, and biting.

Dragon scales protecting him? Harry lowered his head thoughtfully, having never heard of such a spell before. But the next moment, all the hairs on his body stood on end!
"call--!"

A sharp gust of wind suddenly sounded—followed by the sound of a thick, fleshy body lashing heavily against the shield wall.

"Boom!"

The sound was not like the explosion of firecrackers, but rather like the pounding of a drum by a giant hammer, deep and powerful, violently vibrating Harry's eardrums.

Just one blow.

Stone fragments fell like rain, and the pillar of heaven trembled.

It was as if the entire secret chamber was trembling because of that attack.

Such a voice was merely a 'gift' for getting acquainted.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sounds of impact were continuous and terrifying—Harry couldn’t help but start to worry—could Professor Levy, who had given up his sight, really withstand such a fast and powerful attack?

"The impact force is rated B+, which is similar to the peak impact force of an adult horned camel."

The next moment, Li Wei's voice rang out again, calm as a narrator, mixed in with the symphony of snakes and shields, as if he had not been affected at all by the storm of attacks.

Harry's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly.

He suppressed the urge to open his eyes and crouched down, hiding behind a thick stone pillar.

He couldn't believe that such a terrifying impact would only be rated B in Professor Li Wei's evaluation system.

If even B-rank creatures are like this? What kind of creatures would A-rank creatures be?
The world of magic seemed to be far larger than he had imagined.
Amid Harry's ecstasy, Levi's voice continued to advance at a steady pace.

"The basilisk's physical strength test is complete. Next, we will analyze its magic resistance."

Faced with a giant serpent several times larger than himself, the wizard standing before it did not waver at all, but simply waved his wand again and his lips moved slightly.

"Ig-ni-tego (forged by fire)"

Three magical syllables fell.

The air in the entire sealed room suddenly trembled!
Before Harry could even react to what was happening, it was as if an invisible hand had grabbed all the air and pulled it upwards!
The indoor temperature suddenly soared.

By the time Harry came to his senses, the sweat on his back had already evaporated.

A scorching current of unease flowed through the air, its intense presence dominating the entire secret room and forcefully announcing its arrival!

what happened?
In the dry air, Harry swallowed hard.

"Bang." A sound like flames hitting tough skin came from not far above his head.

Then it was Li Wei's voice again.

"The basic form of the high-level spell cannot cause any damage to the basalt monster. Its magic resistance is tentatively set at A- level, which is comparable to the plastron armor of the Hungarian Tree Bee Dragon."

Next, we quickly verified the basilisk's resistance to regular curses and cutting spells.

Harry heard Levi recite a spell, but three whooshing sounds echoed through the air.

"Torn apart."

'Curse of Frost.'

'They're all petrified.'

Accompanied by the sound of bubbles bursting, the basilisk's angry hiss remained deep and powerful.

Even Harry, who was listening with his eyes closed, knew that the previous spell had not worked.

"Verification complete. The basilisk's scales do indeed possess high resistance to magic attacks across the entire area."

"scare--!"

After repeatedly failing to impale himself with his physical body, the serpent monster suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a stream of shimmering, emerald-green liquid transformed into a sharp arrow, shooting towards Li Wei beneath it!
"boom."

Li Wei made no move, but the scorching current flowing in the void beside him suddenly exploded into a ring of fire at this moment.

It collided with the incoming poisoned arrow at an undeniable speed, accompanied by the sound of water vapor evaporating, and a few wisps of translucent green mist appeared in the air halfway through its flight.

Levi waved his wand again.

"Ouch!"

A stone wolf slowly emerged from the ground, its body gradually becoming fuller, turning green like the surrounding environment, and emitting a loud howl.

The next moment, it lunged at the basilisk's mouth, only to be bitten by the enraged monster—the green wolf didn't even have time to howl before it was instantly corroded into bones.

Li Wei conjured three more stone giant statues, which silently pounced on the basilisk—they lasted longer than the green wolf, but they weren't much better off; no matter how much magic Li Wei mobilized, he couldn't repair their bodies.

"Additional information: The venom of the basilisk is as dangerous as the eyes of a snake; contact with it is fatal. During a confrontation, a safe distance of more than two meters should be maintained."

"Facing such a dark creature directly is too dangerous, and I do not recommend any wizard to attempt it."

But this isn't difficult for you, is it?
Harry, who was in the corner, heard Levi's muttering to himself, clenched his fists tightly, and waved them forcefully!
Sure enough, Li Wei's subsequent actions perfectly validated his idea.

"Next, we will further test the basilisk's defensive capabilities—"

Li Wei's voice became muffled in the rising steam—Harry belatedly realized that the temperature in the Chamber of Secrets had risen even higher without him noticing.

"Wow!"

A phoenix's cry echoed in the darkness—accompanied by the sound of flames spreading across the land—and Harry heard something pierce the flesh of some creature.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the basilisk making a painful gurgling sound.

Harry couldn't hold back any longer—what did it matter if he were petrified, seeing such a spectacular battle? With Professor Levy here, there wouldn't be any problems at all.

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes a tiny slit and slowly peeked out.
