Chapter 321: The Final Chapter in the Lair

Deep underground, in the darkness, a silvery band of tiny, glowing plankton stretched hundreds of meters across.

Like the Milky Way in the Summer Night Sky, drawn by magic, they streamed in continuously from the void, uninterrupted, without stopping.....

The silver light completely dispelled the darkness that had been covering the place for a thousand years.

Reacting with the locket in Ivan's hand, the magic left by Salazar Slytherin was successfully activated, and his image slowly appeared.

Ivan could feel the powerful magic, the power of hundreds of millions of magical plankton, converging on Salazar's image.

Crack...

He heard the sound of sparks burning silently in the air. He looked around for the source of the sound and discovered that it was the result of powerful magical collisions within Salazar's image.

Fine magical particles met countless times, emitting beautiful golden and silver rays of light.

It was like pyrotechnics that had shrunk countless times and dispersed one by one. They looked very beautiful, but contained a shocking amount of magical energy.

This was a power unimaginable to ordinary people, beyond the limits of human beings.

The image of Salazar did not speak, nor did he look at Ivan. He stood motionless in silence, with a solemn expression, and the wand in his hand pointed at the huge eyeball monster.

Above his white wand, from time to time, a silver light shone up and down.

"Salazar Slytherin, after a thousand years of waiting..." The deep whisper sounded again, and the huge eyes glared at Slytherin with hatred, as if they wanted to communicate with him.

Slytherin had no intention of communicating with him. He waved his wand, made a strange hissing sound, and countless colored halos floated around him.

This was the magic Ivan had seen before on the rock wall, but he couldn't understand Slytherin's Spell. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

This was Parseltongue; Salazar Slytherin used magic that read in Parseltongue.

At Salazar's hiss, the silvery planktons of the dark void coalesced to form a mass that emitted halos of hazy colors.

Like floating hydrogen balloons, they hovered slowly in the air.

These colorful halos may appear harmless to humans and animals, but Ivan knew they were masses of energy formed by the purest magic.

Beneath their magnificent appearance, each one carried a mighty destructive power.

The number of light masses increased, and the horrible monster became more and more restless.

It was afraid. The blood vessels and flesh fibers in the eyeballs writhed constantly. A few seconds later, it seemed finally determined to overcome its fear of Salazar Slytherin. Focusing on the slender pupils, once again, a huge blood-stained fissure opened, rushing into Salazar's shadow.

Salazar suddenly vanished as he saw it coming and turned into a myriad of silver plankton.

The next second, his figure reappeared behind the eyeball monster, unaffected by his exertion, and the wand in his hand twitched at an odd angle.

At his command, all the colorful masses of light that had wandered aimlessly in the air moved, and surrounded the hideous monster in the center.

A sophisticated magical symbol rose from the ground, giving a green light.

In the next second, without warning, two giant dark green snakes emerged from the magic symbols.

"Saiasa, seois!" They bared their fangs and circled upward, wrapping the eyeball monster tightly in the middle in the blink of an eye.

Ivan blinked; everything in front of him was like a dream.

In front of him, after being entangled by the giant snakes, the monster was held back.

It returned to the form of an eyeball. Under the influence of the magic and the pressure of the snakes, the red in the center began to diffuse outward until it spread to the entire eyeball.

It trembled and resisted, but it was already at the end of its power.

Under the entanglement of the giant snakes, his body was subjected to infinite compression, and his outer shell began to break and crack.

"Heir of Slytherin, you think you have defeated me, but you do not know the tragic fate of your arrival." The pained whisper sounded intermittently, and the huge eyes used all their strength to slowly turn to Ivan. "We will meet again soon. I will return..."

The whisper echoed and diffused in the stone room, resounding in bursts.

The next second, there was a loud pop and the huge eyeballs suddenly burst.

Lots of blood and purple fibers spread everywhere, spraying the floor in all directions.

Ivan couldn't believe that this horrible monster was so easily destroyed!

At the same time, Malfoy, who had been in a coma, cried out loudly. His painful expression gradually calmed down, and the nightmare that had been plaguing him disappeared.

It all happened so suddenly that Ivan couldn't even react.

He was breathing heavily and could not believe that the powerful monster was dead, but had disappeared?

Moreover, the magic Salazar had just used shocked him greatly.

Salazar's image turned to look at Ivan. It was redistributed into a myriad of silver plankton, which congregated in front of Ivan and converged on the locket in the air.

The fluorescence of the emerald faded, and pale gold flashed along the locket's emblem.

The Slytherin locket slowly fell into Ivan's hands and returned to its former form.

The stone room was quiet and darkness returned all around. Everything was like an absurd nightmare, whether it was the huge eyeball monster or the powerful magic of Salazar Slytherin, everything had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Ivan got up from the floor and was drenched in sweat. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"LUMOS MAXIMA!" the light at the end of his wand once again illuminated the surroundings.

He was shocked at what had just happened. He still had too many questions, but no one could explain to him what was happening.

What should he do now? Ivan didn't have much strength; he didn't want to come out of the pit with a comatose Malfoy. That would be another nightmare.

Perhaps the best option was to stay there and wait for help. Dumbledore would find them.

By taking advantage of this time, he could also redirect his thoughts.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom....

As Ivan relaxed completely, the thunderous sound echoed, the surrounding rocks trembled and the tiny cracks in the wall expanded at a visible speed.

Unable to resist the powerful magic Slytherin had just used, the subway ruins collapsed and large chunks of rubble fell from above.

He had to get out of there quickly, or he would be buried alive in the depths of the earth.....

Ivan had to brace himself, and he hurried over to the fainting Malfoy, and waved his wand quickly. Malfoy rose from the ground and floated around him.

He ran to the door, and then looked back in great surprise.

"Hey, what's this?"

Ivan led Malfoy to where the huge eyeballs had just burst, and found a crimson striped ribbon on the floor with a strange emblem carved into it.

He picked it up and looked at it briefly. The emblem looked exactly like the monster there.

It looked more horrible and more massive than Ivan had ever seen before, as if it was capable of spreading fear throughout the world.

It floated in the air, and underneath were human figures with pain in their expressions, and their souls were being stripped from their bodies and poured into the horrible monster.

This crimson striped one should have appeared after the monster disappeared. What was the connection between the two?

Ivan didn't have time to see it. He took it in his hand, willing to wait until he returned to the castle to study it carefully.
