Rubik’s Cube of Heavens - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Retreat

Kacha!

The sound of the ground cracking rang out.

Coven’s calculations were very accurate. The first metal spike rose up right before the basilisk.

The snake monster, who was in a charging state, couldn’t react in time, so it was hit on the chin by the metal spike.

Unfortunately, the scales on the snake monster’s skin were too hard. Under the collision, the metal spike bent a little.

At the same time, the ground that was connected to the spike was directly lifted by the huge force of the snake monster.

“Hiss -”

The snake monster suddenly stopped charging, and the hissing sound was a bit shrill. Probably only Harry Potter knew if the snake monster was screaming in pain.

After being taught a lesson, the snake monster saw the other spikes in front of it and could not help but curl up, and then its tail whipped out like a whip.

Boom!

A deafening roar sounded, and the remaining metal spikes were knocked down by the snake monster, flying along the ground and hitting the corridor wall.

At the same time, the basilisk rushed towards Coven again, but this time it wasn’t as fast as before.

“What a smart beast!”

Through the shadow on the wall, Coven saw how the basilisk reacted. He couldn’t help but sigh in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the basilisk approached.

This time, Coven did not dodge. When the basilisk was about to bite him, he quickly closed his eyes and raised the round shield in his hand.

* Clang * The basilisk’s fangs bit the upper and lower edge of the shield, but it was unable to continue closing and was stuck by the erected shield.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Coven immediately released his left hand holding the shield and rushed out from the side of the basilisk’s head with his eyes closed.

After avoiding the sight of the basilisk, Coven raised his wand and pointed at a metal spike that was lying in the corner.

The Shapeshifting Spell and Summoning Spell were released one after another, causing the sharp cone to quickly turn into a huge metal mace as it flew over.

He quickly put away his wand, then raised his hands and grabbed the mace flying in front of him.

Then, Coven pulled himself up from his waist and used the strength of turning around to smash the mace towards the snake monster that had just turned around.

Bang!

A dull knock sounded, causing the basilisk to hiss. Its head was thrown in the opposite direction, and Coven’s arms couldn’t help but feel a little numb under the impact of the recoil.

There was no time to adapt to the numbness of his arms. The first thing Coven did after the attack was quickly chanting the transformation spell.

Without a staff, the mace in his hand quickly turned into another shield.

Then Coven raised the shield with both hands and turned around quickly.

The snake catcher knew that once they controlled the snake head, the snake body would reflexively curl up towards the snake head, and it would constantly roll around like a crocodile.

Coven was clear about this, so he naturally calculated this situation.

Sure enough, just as Coven turned around, the snake body and snake tail curled up and rolled towards him.

The huge body carried a huge force and instantly smashed onto the shield in Coven’s hand.

The force was so great that Coven couldn’t control his body and couldn’t help but be knocked back.

With a bang, Coven flew several meters and finally hit the corridor wall with his back. His whole body was numb.

Enduring this moment of powerlessness, Coven gritted his teeth and blocked the shield in front of him again.

Because the snake monster was still twisting and turning, and at the same time, the snake tail swept around in disorder.

For a moment, the rubble around its body flew in all directions, flying towards Coven, smashing into the metal shield with a bang.

This time, the snake monster was unable to recover for a long time.

Obviously, Coven’s prediction was correct. Since the sharp weapon was useless, the blunt weapon would definitely cause effective damage to the snake monster.

Through the shadow on the wall, one could see that the snake monster at this time seemed to be drunk, and its head was shaking randomly without any sense of direction.

Its huge body was rolling around its head. This was the instinctive struggle of a snake.

Coven could not put down his shield because, in the current situation, he could no longer calculate the position of the basilisk.

Therefore, after adapting to the numbness of his body, he could only move away a little.

This mace caused the basilisk to suffer heavy injuries. After a long time, the basilisk gradually calmed down.

This time, the basilisk no longer chased after Coven. Instead, its body formed a snake formation.

As it hissed, the basilisk raised its head and looked down at Coven to find an opportunity to attack.

The confrontation occurred.

After about two or three minutes, the sound of footsteps came from afar.

It has been a few minutes since the start of the battle, and the situation here should be discovered.

However, Coven obviously could not wait for someone to help. After all, no one in Hogwarts knew that the chamber monster was a basilisk except him and Dumbledore.

It would be bad if the professors who rushed over to help were harmed because they knew nothing about the basilisk.

Therefore, Coven immediately pulled out his wand and shouted, “Don’t come over!”

After shouting, Coven immediately put his wand on his throat, and under the incantation, he let out a rooster’s crow.

The loud rooster’s crow echoed in the corridor, causing the basilisk’s body to shrink suddenly.

After two sharp hisses, the basilisk suddenly turned around and quickly rushed into the pipe that it came out from.

It was unknown whether it was Coven’s crowing or the others who were rushing over, but the snake monster finally retreated.

Sensing this through the surrounding environment, Coven heaved a sigh of relief. He still slowly put down the shield in his hand and revealed his eyes.

“Who is there!”

“What happened?!”

The messy footsteps approached, and several figures rushed over from the shadows at the end of the corridor.

Obviously, Coven’s warning did not work. Dumbledore and the four branch deans had arrived.

As the professors approached quickly, they finally saw the situation of Coven.

Although the messy and broken environment was surprising, they still chose to be concerned about Coven.

Because of his short legs, Professor Flitwick ran at the back, but he was the first to ask, “Little Coven, are you alright What happened here?”

“I’m fine.” As Coven responded, he threw away the shield in his hand and smashed the ground with a ” sound.

Soon, the directors rushed forward and carefully examined Coven’s body.

Seeing no wound or blood, the professors breathed a sigh of relief.

“My god!” Professor McGonagall finally had the energy to look around, but after seeing the nearby miserable state, he couldn’t help but say in shock, “What happened here? Coven, who are you fighting with?”

Hearing this, Coven did not answer immediately but looked at the dignified Dumbledore…
