Chapter 113: The True Power of the Seven Arkstone Array.

Fawkes made a dive attack and tried to gauge the remaining basilisk eye while the snake hissed angrily and tried to bite him.

Harry used this opportunity to finish his climbings to the top of the head.

He then heard his sister, Ginny, and Daphne scream and got startled.

Turned out, the giant snake had not lost track of its target and continued to chase the the three girls.

They had managed to run out of the forest and into the clearing that led to the castle, but the basilisk was now standing in their way, preventing them from escaping.

"Don't even think about it!" Harry stood up on the top of the monster's head.

"Gladius…" His wand transformed into a double-blade sword.

The beast was well aware of what Harry was intending to do and tried its best to shake him off by moving its head with violence.

But Harry had applied some powerful sticking charms on his shoes and left hand, so he was able to hold on.

"Divulsa…" A baleful purple aura manifested around the sword before he drove it into the beast's remaining eye.

This one shrieked like crazy as the blade pierced its eye and the dark magic started to corrode everything, not leaving a single piece intact.

"Fawkes!" Harry called immediately.

The phoenix seemed to already know what he wanted to do next without saying it out loud and approached him. He flew close, allowing him to grab onto his claws, and flew away from the head of the beast while carrying Harry.

He grasped at the phoenix's claw with his left hand while still holding his wand on the right.

The loss of both its eyes was not going to distract it for long enough. He needs more time to prepare the spell that will kill this monster.

While still in the air, Harry weaved his wand in a complex series of movements, and a disgusting-looking green liquid started to appear all around the basilisk.

Harry saw this and nodded in satisfaction. That should do it for now.

"Take me to them."

The phoenix flew a short distance away and landed right next to the three girls.

"Harry!" Lyra ran and jumped at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him with a lot of force while trembling.

"I'm fine, Lyra." He tried to reassure her but could not waste much time now.

"What did you do to the basilisk? is screaming a lot." Ginny covered her ears.

"I destroyed its eyes. You don't have to worry about looking at it. But is still very dangerous. " Harry answered.

"Do you have a plan? what do we do now?" Daphne asked with a clear corner despite trying to appear calm.

"Yes, we should run away now that is distracted!"Lyra realized.

"Run away, where?. Haven't you seen who is following us?. If we go to the castle now….we will be guiding that monster in there." Daphne told her.

"We would put everyone in danger, oh no! What can we do?" Ginny cried with fear.

Harry pulled his spare wand and held them both in his hands.

The basilisk had ceased its shrieking. It flickered its tongue while it turned its head around. Without its eyes, it had to rely on the remaining senses to locate them.

"Is looking for us!" Ginny noticed.

Harry did not look worried.

"It won't be able to go anywhere for now."

When the massive beast attempted to move again, this one seemed to slip away before it started to thrash around on the spot.

"What is it doing?..." Lyra wondered.

"I placed a slippery jinx around it," Harry answered.

"You used a prank spell on that massive monster?" Daphne said with disbelief.

"Well, it seems to be working. It doesn't seem like it can move from there." Lyra pointed out.

"Maybe, but that won't last for long," Daphne told her.

"That's okay, I just need to gain a bit of time." Harry examined his ring and necklace. 

"Seven arkstones array…" He said in a soft whisper.

"Time for wh-"

"Libera."

Ginny was completely cut, because as soon as Harry finished his chant, all seven arkstones became alight at the same time and with much more force than before. 

The runework is designed to only supply him with a bit of magic at the time in a constant flow. 

What he had done now was to release the restraints and allow all the magic contained in the seven pieces of jewelry to enter his body.

A wave of force came out of him and pushed the three girls away from him.

Bluish mist surrounded him while his eyes changed color from their usual vibrant green to an eerie light blue tone that resembled the shining magical stones on the artifacts.

"H-Harry?." Lyra had her eyes opened widely as she watched the changes in her brother from the spot where she fell.

"What is that mist?...is that magic?" Daphne observed him with rasped attention. She had read about stories where magic became so concentrated that one was able to see it with the naked eye, but she never thought she would be witnessing this phenomenon in person during her lifetime.

Harry stared at them with his dangerous-looking bright blue eyes and cold expression.

"I need you to stay behind me, a good distance away."

"What…w-what are…w" Ginny stammered the words. She was too nervous to speak.

"Now…I'm going to kill this beast." His voice sounded a lot more cold and emotionless while in this state, which made him seem more intimidating even if that was not his intention.

He gave the three startled girls one last glance before he turned to face the basilisk.
