Chapter 57: Expedition (6)

William repeated several times in his mind, he carefully observed the new unwanted guests in this expedition.

"We need to get out of the ruins and back to Castelobruxo, this got out of control" said William.

They could win against the group of morphs or the treasure hunters, but there would be costs, more than one of the members of the dueling club would not return alive to the castle. There was an even greater chance that none of those involved would make it back to Castelobruxo.

Of course, they still did not know the capacity of these Mortifagi and if they were really real Mortifagi and not just imitations. It was also worth noting that all the important Mortifages were resting in their own private rooms inside Azkaban, with many Dementors making sure they lived to suffer another day.

"We can't leave" said Anana "I won't leave the members of the mourning club behind, they don't know anything about what happened and they expect us to get them out of the vault."

"The vault door is strong and Nahuen must have reinforced it to protect himself with the rest of the club members in case the worst happened. We can't leave them behind, but just getting them out is a suicidal plan, first we have to secure an escape route or in the extreme case, we'll have to end everyone's lives inside the ruin."

Anana listened to everything William said, she agreed with everything he said, but the moment she turned her face to look at the boy she could confirm her first assumption, William really was someone to be feared.

The expression on William's face was frightening, cold and hard. Anyone who saw him out of the blue would be in for a big surprise.

"We have to find a strategic point to attack, the hydra will be overpowered in no time and from that point on we will be at a disadvantage" William ran down the second floor corridor followed quickly by Anana.

While both of them were running through the second floor, William could see through a window to the supposed morphs located on the second floor, all of them were wearing the same dark clothes and masks with white figures on their faces, it would be difficult to know their identities, but it was obvious that these supposed morphs were only treasure hunters who were profiting with Voldemort's name to scare the competition.

Both were still students, William was still a first year student which made this even worse, although he is smart and perhaps better than all his peers it was not enough to overcome an adult wizard, much less an adult dark wizard.

As they both looked around and thought of a plan of action, down on the second floor a new battle had begun. The treasure hunters who were busy with the hydra were now also being attacked by the eccentric morphs, curses had begun to fly everywhere and even the hydra had sensed the danger and chose to retreat to preserve its life.

"I have an idea" William said, he had been checking the infrastructure of the pyramid with his mind's eye, although there were sectors he couldn't see due to interference, he could still look for specific points to make his plan work.

"What do you plan to do?"

"We're going to collapse the whole pyramid."

"'WHAT?!"

"DID YOU LOSE YOUR MIND WILL?"

William shook his head "I'm still as sane as ever, it's just that this time I have a slightly wackier idea" without saying anything else he pointed his wand upwards "I have no idea about the identity of these idiots and I have no interest in knowing it, after all, once they are dead they are no longer important".

From William's wand came a beam of light of a light blue color that hit between two pillars and entered the cracks, then everything began to tremble.

"'What will happen to the rest of the club?"

"Don't worry, they are far enough away from the area where the collapse will occur, we on the other hand should hurry to get out. This will be like a muggle domino, everything will collapse."

Both young men got up and started to run, Anana could only follow William as he was the only one who knew which was the safe area to escape.

Everything happened too fast, the pyramid began to shake and the pillars collapsed out of nowhere, dust was the signal to show that the pyramid was collapsing.

Fragments began to fall from the ceiling, some of them quite large, both students could only keep running forward, there was not enough time to stop and use some spell to clear the way, every second of time was vital at the moment of survival and just as they did the morphs also began to flee.

Once they reached the safe zone that William pointed out on the way, they turned to see how everything was collapsing inside the pyramid, they were also inside but William had pointed out that there were specific areas that were built with another type of architecture, possibly rebuilt after a collapse in the past so they were made for collapse cases.

Anana still could not understand how William understood so many things being such a little boy, I mean he is older than Will but it is as if it was the other way around.

When the collapse inside the pyramid started to stop Anana used her spell to make the dust disappear. There was rubble all over the place, William used his mind's eye to check the surroundings in case there was some kind of ambush or if there were any survivors.

As they both walked over the rubble William felt as if his foot stepped on something strange, he watched it for a moment to identify the source and knew immediately.

"What are you doing?" asked Anana.

"Helping me to remove this debris."

Anana looked for a moment at what you wanted to do Will and understood immediately, he wanted to remove the hydra from the rubble "what will happen if it is still alive?"

"That's why I'm digging it up, it's still alive."

"then why do you want to take it out?"

"It's a magical beast, it acts under the orders imposed on it, it's not evil."

"I hope you're not thinking of taming it, it's an impossible task."

"If it was impossible how come it was following other people's orders to guard the inside of the pyramid?"

"Perhaps they used dark magic to control it, remember that this pyramid is over a thousand years old, it is likely that the wizards that inhabited the interior had more knowledge than we think."

"That's obvious" William continued removing debris with levitation magic "but I doubt it was done that way. Even Herpo the madman was able to tame a basilisk in ancient times."

"Those are two isolated cases, there's no hard proof that you can do it."

"Exactly, just be perseverant, remember that magical beasts can see your soul."
