Where Was the Promised Bai Suzhen!?

"How is this possible?! How could I possibly fail!"

Looking at the impotent and furious Voldemort, Bell rolled his eyes dismissively.

"What's so surprising about your failure? Didn't you already fail once more than 10 years ago?"

"..."

Voldemort was momentarily speechless after being sharply criticized by Bell.

"Kid, I've noticed you lack reverence for the Dark Lord!"

After recovering slightly from his surprise, the younger version of Voldemort finally regained his ability to think. Only then did he realize that Bell had apparently insulted him several times earlier?

"And what are you looking at!?"

Seeing the blue light gleaming in Bell's eyes, Voldemort asked in shock and anger.

No one has ever dared to be so bold and presumptuous in front of the powerful Dark Lord!

"Hey, don't be so stingy. We're all men, what's wrong with taking a look?"

Oh, don't worry, my orientation is perfectly normal and hasn't been influenced by the trends of this era.

Bell was somewhat disgusted by Voldemort's stinginess.

"You little brat! You're asking for it!"

Voldemort roared and turned into Black Mist, disappearing back into Ginny's body.

Then a sharp, piercing hissing sound came from Ginny's mouth. The Water Dragon beside her twisted and spun, expanding into a circular passage. The Little Witch leaped in.

Seeing Voldemort and Ginny disappear into the passage, Bell sighed in disappointment.

He hasn't seen enough yet!

However, since the other party was unwilling to show it to him, as a freeloader, Bell was too embarrassed to chase after them and force them.

Moreover, although he couldn't understand Parseltongue, the warning from the earring told him that the other party must have summoned Basilisk before running away.

Bell took out an eye mask and put it on his head, completely blocking his vision.

In fact, many years ago, he was already able to use Magic Perception techniques to replace his sight. This was the source of his confidence in facing the Basilisk directly.

For most Magical Creatures, the difficulty of defeating them drops dramatically once a way to counter their unique magical abilities is found.

However, this theorem does not apply to top-tier Magical Creatures. And as for which level of Magical Creatures the Basilisk belongs, Bell dared not say for sure.

After taking protective measures, Bell took out a small bottle from his pocket.

The bottle was only the length of an index finger and 3 centimeters thick. But as Bell opened the bottle and poured it downwards, a large amount of silvery-white liquid, far exceeding its capacity, gushed out.

These liquids are the preparations Bell has been making over the past week.

These liquids are actually liquid metal, a magical artifact created by Bell using Mithril as the main component and supplemented with various precious magical materials. Bell named it "Thousand Changes".

To create the Thousand Changes, Bell not only emptied the Goblin ' Mithril inventory, but also melted down several Mithril swords from his family's collection.

So don't be fooled by the liquid at Bell's feet, which is only about 10 liters in total, its original volume was actually dozens of times larger.

Bell imbued the Thousand Changes with two Curses: the ' Enlargement Charm ' and the ' Shrinking Charm.' Apart from these, it contained no other powerful magic. Therefore, the Thousand Changes itself had no power; it was merely a magical tool specially created by Bell to complement his Transfiguration.

Hearing this, some people might think that Bell's creation of Thousand Changes was completely unnecessary. After all, there are so many objects around him that he can use to perform Transfiguration —the earth, the air, magic, and so on—that he can draw upon at any time.

But that's not actually the case.

There are two main characteristics to Thousand Changes.

First, no matter what kind of Transfiguration is applied, it will not break the two core enlargement and shrinkage Curses. This allows Bell to conserve a great deal of magic power when performing large-scale Transfiguration.

You can never have too much magic.

Secondly, the Thousand Changes are liquid metal, which gives them both the strength and sharpness of metal without requiring Bell to specifically reinforce them, while also allowing them to Transfiguration quickly.

It's important to understand that in the heat of battle, a mere split second of speed can completely alter the outcome.

The Wand slid down from his sleeve, and Bell pointed it at the Thousand Changes beneath his feet. About half of the liquid floated up and Transfiguration into a spear above Bell's head.

As Bell continued to pour magic into it, the spear began to spin rapidly, emitting a blue light.

Bell aimed the spearhead at the opening near the washbasin, intending to deliver a crushing blow as soon as Bell Basilisk showed itself, minimizing the intensity of the battle.

It wasn't that Bell was afraid the intense battle would attract attention. Having decided to take action, he no longer cared about the professors' opinions; after all, he couldn't escape Dumbledore's surveillance anyway.

Bell was mainly afraid that if the battle became too intense, it would damage the Basilisk's corpse.

Bell was quite interested in studying a Basilisk that had lived for a thousand years. That's why he chose to use Transfiguration in this battle.

Time flew by as Bell remained on high alert. Soon, accompanied by a rustling, crawling sound, the Basilisk slithered in from outside the bathroom...

His whole body was tense, and all his attention was focused on Bell at the hole in the wall. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

At that moment, a raging fire of anger ignited in Bell's heart. He wished he could unleash an Undying Flame on the Basilisk's head. He suspected that he might even be able to instantly unleash the Undying Flame himself.

"What the hell is this?! Give me back the feelings I wasted!!!"

Seeing the Basilisk that appeared in front of him, Bell was utterly frantic.

This Basilisk was far beyond his expectations! But not because it was too strong, but because it was too weak!

No wonder the warning from the earring was so faint; he had previously thought it was because the Basilisk was too far away.

With a body length of less than 10 meters and a thickness of about the size of a washbasin, even ordinary pythons in nature can grow to this size.

So this Basilisk has been eating shit for the past thousand years?!

Look at Bai Suzhen! After a thousand years of cultivation, she was able to transform into a great beauty!

Even if this is a "magical" place, and there's a gap between it and the "cultivation" place, let alone Xiao Qing, you should at least transform into a cute little loli... cough cough, you should at least look a bit more majestic and imposing!

In Bell's imagination, a Millennial Basilisk would have to be at least 100 meters long and 1 or 2 meters in diameter.

Is that all?!

This poor little guy, which is less than 10 meters long, is supposed to be Millennial Basilisk?

If it weren't for the fact that so much time had passed and the other Basilisk hadn't yet appeared, Bell would have thought that the 'little guy' in front of him was actually the Basilisk's child who had sneaked out to watch the fun.

Sensing the Basilisk roaring and opening its huge mouth to pounce on him, Bell was considering whether to burn this wretched thing to ashes to bury the self that had previously fought against thin air.
