A clash of Kings (Patreon)

Jon's whip collided with the basilisk's tail with a magical bang, the black flames left a considerable mark on the snake's thick scales, but there was no damage to the beast

In response, the basilisk slammed its massive tail into the cavern floor, as a result, huge spikes of rock rushed towards Jon with lethal precision

Jon responded by moving his wand on himself, and in just seconds, the rock floor around Jon melted, forming a pool of lava, then Jon moved his wand and with a firm thrust and all the lava rushed towards the basilisk with the sole purpose of ending his existence

Both attacks collided with such magical power that the entire cavern shook, however, neither combatant wasted time, Jon waved his wand, lifted a huge rock, and with a thrust threw it at high speed against the snake, followed by a powerful beam of ice, much to the apparent annoyance of his wand

The basilisk tore apart the huge rock very easily, using its powerful tail, and seeing the beam of ice heading towards it, the huge beast opened its mouth, the powerful fangs glowed with a sickly greenish tone and, immediately after, a beam of poisonous magic rushed from the basilisk's mouth, colliding with Jon's attack directly

And at that moment, the combat became a duel of will, who of the two wanted to live longer, the thousand-year-old basilisk, who had been a prisoner in this cave all his existence, or the young magician, as stubborn as a mule with the purpose of saving his little sister

For a few moments, the power of both attacks was similar, however, the basilisk began to move slowly, cutting the distance that separated him from Jon, who, seeing that the dangerous beast was approaching him with a firm step, knew that he had to change strategy and quickly

Without hesitation, Jon cut the magic of his freezing spell and disappeared from the place where he stood, dodging the beast's putrid magical attack

Jon appeared again on the other side of the cave, and without a single second, he focused his wand on the distracted beast and screamed

"Fulgur Maxima” the wand pointed at the beast's huge body, while Jon conveyed his intention to end the miserable existence of that being

His beloved wand responded with joy and a torrent of crimson lightning manifested in the direction of the basilisk, who was so unprepared that he was unable to avoid being struck by the powerful spell, screaming in pain at the touch

To Jon's surprise, the crimson rays were having a curious effect on the snake, in addition to the damage of the lightning, they were burning the scales of the basilisk, a mixture between lightning and fire apparently

Jon watched with absolute pleasure as the scales where the lightning was striking lost strength so, with absolute pleasure Jon shouted his latest spell, specifically designed to harm beings with extremely resistant skin

"Ferro Terebro Altum" Jon's wand vibrated with absolute joy and conjured a magic steel spear, which shot out with impressive speed, as fast as a golden Snitch, in the blink of an eye, the magic spear embedded itself firmly in the weakened scales of the beast, releasing a heartbreaking screech, which was music to Jon's ears

"I've got you bitch," whispered the young Stark, then Jon was about to repeat the process, when the basilisk, completely furious, shouted

"ENOUGH" then, the dangerous beast opened its mouth and its powerful fangs glowed again, the young wolf expected another attack of poisonous magic, however, the fangs glowed with a yellow light this time and, before Jon could reacts, the huge beast roared

And Jon only felt pain

From the mouth of the huge beast a powerful and terrible screech was released, the sound was so destructive that Jon's ears, much more sensitive thanks to the wolf's blood, began to bleed, causing the young wizard to lose concentration completely

Jon fell to his knees and brought his hands to his shattered ears, feeling a hot liquid run from them, his ears ringing and he was disoriented, to the point that he was not able to protect himself from the powerful blow that the beast gave him with its tail, sending him through the cavern

Jon's body was flooded with pain, making the slightest movement was torture, however, his senses warned him of the imminent danger, so summoning his wand to his hand, Jon conjured quickly and quite fearfully

“Indomitus maxima!” At the same time as he opened his arms, in the blink of an eye, his powerful and reliable shield manifested, just in time to avoid the lethal bite of the beast, seeing the state Jon was in, the basilisk laughed and spoke

"So much potential, you would have been a worthy hunter, however, there is only one apex in the castle, human" the snake king sneered, a moment later, the huge snake coiled its huge body around Jon's spell and began to apply a huge force, pressing Jon's shield

Seeing the dilemma he was in, the basilisk spoke

"Don't worry, sooner or later your shield will fall, and I have all the time in the world" The tone of complete indifference and the constant pressure on the shield told Jon one thing

I was really screwed, I just hoped the brat had better luck

Harry Potter, the chamber of secrets

"Is it the best thing you have, you bastard?" Harry shouted while waving his wand wildly, in it, a powerful whip made of electrified water whipped the snake's face, such an act kept the snake away from him, but Harry knew he had to find a solution

And fast

With another frantic movement, Harry whipped the magical construct again into the basilisk's face, this time managing to hit the charred sockets of its eyes, causing the beast to writhe in pain

Act that our intrepid Gryffindor used to escape the labyrinth of pipes, he needed to return to the main chamber, he had come up with a plan to kill this thing

I'd need a distraction, water, and a damn miracle, but it was better than nothing

The Gryffindor ran with his short legs towards the main chamber, hoping to have enough time to prepare  

However, the network of tunnels was so immense that he had no idea where he had to go, he was totally lost, completely distraught, thinking that the beast would eat him at any moment, Harry asked Merlin, Morgana, Mother Magic and Jesus Christ for a sign, whatever it was to be able to get out of that place

And then the miracle happened

Harry's ears were blessed by a familiar tune, one so beautiful that just listening to it calmed the young man's agitated heart and with utmost tranquility, Harry followed the chant through the network of tunnels

After walking for a few minutes, Harry ran into Fawkes who was singing to calm a heartbroken Ginny, who had tears in her eyes, terrified by the situation

At the sight of her, Harry cried out in relief

“Ginny!” while the young lion ran towards his best friend's sister, who, seeing him, screamed in the same way

“Harry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I swear to you... Tom forced me” the poor girl was too distraught

Harry simply replied

"Forget about it, you have to get out of here!" as he said those words, Harry looked at the Phoenix and spoke

"Nice to see you Fawkes, did Professor Dumbledore send you?" At that question, the bird gave a sound of confirmation, Harry exhaled in relief, most likely help was on the way

However, he would not be confident

Looking at the Phoenix, Harry spoke

"Get her out of here friend, please, it's very dangerous, I'll hold the snake back as long as I can."

At those words, the Phoenix sang softly and handed Harry an object that he carried in his claws, when he took it, Harry realized that it was the sorting hat

Confused, Harry looked up at the bird, intending to ask him the reason why he was handing him the hat, however, Fawkes had taken flight again and grabbed Ginny by the arms, taking her out of the camera, the young woman screamed in desperation, saying that she had to help Harry

However, the young man's rest was interrupted by a powerful noise, when he turned his head, Harry saw how one of the walls of the chamber was knocked down and from the cloud of dust, the huge basilisk was present again

Sighing, and still with his hat in his hand, Harry put himself on guard, ready to implement his strategy, the damn snake was huge and powerful, but that made it slow and heavy

As he prepared to cast the spell, the young lion felt something appear in his hand, where the hat was located

Curious, Harry quickly saw that it was a sword, it was beautiful, with rubies encrusted and a rather beautiful silver metal

Goblin metal, Harry thought, recognizing the patterns of the weapon, he had seen similar metal in Wolf's Den over the winter

Giving the headmaster a mental thank you, Harry put himself on guard and waited for the snake to get close enough for his plan to work

The young Gryffindor only hoped that he would be able to perform the spell he had been creating, Harry thought rather uncertainly

However, the wand sent out a feeling of calm and support that reassured the young man, who looked at the magic tool with a smile

A second later, he turned his attention back to the beast

He couldn't make any mistakes, by the memory of his beloved parents, Harry would make it out of this cave alive

One way or another

Lucrecia Malfoy, in route to the chamber

"When I put my hands around Jon's neck, I'll force him to buy me ten new dresses for passing me off in this disgusting place," whispered Malfoy's maid with unrestrained fury, her tunic ruined as well as her hair, the young woman was so furious that, wisely, Professor Snape was silent

Following the road, passing the bridge that the professor repaired, both Slytherins reached the collapse, where they found Weasley and Lockhart

Seeing him, and without any qualms, Professor Snape spoke

"Weasley, first of all, are you okay?" in an indifferent voice

Ron, surprised by such a question, replied

“Ahh... Yes teacher, I have a broken leg, but... I am fine”

At those words, Snape nodded and spoke

"Understood, detention until the end of the school year and two hundred points less for gryffindor for performing such a stupid act as going down to the chamber of secrets"

The redhead grimaced in discomfort, but he didn't dare to answer, he was aware that what he had done was a really stupid act, after all

Without any patience, Lucrecia looked at the boy and spoke

"Weasley, where's my fiancé?" Lucrecia asked in a cold voice, the tone promised extremely high amounts of pain if Ron didn't respond quickly

Fortunately for the redhead's physical integrity, he responded quickly

"Jon passed by here a while ago, freed my leg from that huge rock and continued on his way to Harry, I don't know anything else, I swear"

Lucrecia did not answer and was about to follow the path to the camera, when a beautiful song was present, accompanied by a feminine cry

Lucretia and Severus looked at the source of the noise, only to watch in disbelief as a Phoenix threw a little girl from its claws

Professor Snape acted quickly

“Aresto Momentum” and stopped the young woman's resounding fall

Without wasting a single moment, the majestic bird turned and returned to the depths of the chamber

Lucretia and Professor Snape looked at the young woman, she was Weasley's sister apparently, when she saw them, the young woman screamed

"You have to help them, Harry and Jon are fighting the beasts, they need help!" - The young woman was hysterical

However, his words paralyzed both of them and Lucrecia asked

“Beasts, in plural?” she had a bad feeling

Completely terrified, Ginny nodded with tears in her eyes

“Yes! They are two monsters; one was green and the other was black with a feather on its head!”

Snape muttered to himself

"The pair, male and female, we must hurry Lucrecia, Jon and the brat are in danger"

Without answering, they both continued in the direction of the chamber, praying that they would arrive in time for a rescue

And not to recover a couple of corpses

Hold on Jon, I'm coming, my love, Lucrecia thought anguished, as she swore that she would make the person responsible for this nightmare pay

Jon Stark, the hidden nest

John was going to die

His shield was losing strength as the basilisk put more pressure on him, the young Stark knew it was only a matter of time before the shield gave way, and Jon was crushed

Young Stark had to think of something, and fast

Although efficient, his spear required too much time to conjure it, it is not a real defense, the beast's skin was very hard and he could not damage it with fire, the damn basilisk was very fast

Jon's only option was to fight where he had the advantage

In the Mind

Jon's shield was beginning to crack, large cracks were beginning to manifest themselves all over the surface of the shield, if he wanted to live, he must hurry

So, taking a breath, Jon closed his eyes and focused all his magic on the skill in question

Warging

A few seconds later, the shield gave way, breaking with a loud explosion, an act that the beast took advantage of to take a bite into Jon's body, with the intention of devouring him completely

However, when the jaws of the beast were a few centimeters from Jon's body, the young man opened his eyes, showing the lack of pupils, a white gaze looked defiantly at the beast

Which stopped in its tracks, completely paralyzed, the characteristic yellow eyes were empty, completely white

Both combatants were paralyzed, in the physical world, the beast had the upper hand

However, the battle would now be mental, and Jon could only think of one thing

Payback time
