Chapter 145 - [145] Philosopher's Stone Power Surge, Fiendfyre Clears the Path!

Aragog retreated desperately.

Even though his eight eyes were blinded by cataracts, he could not conceal the fear within.

When did such a formidable character arrive at Hogwarts?!

Without a word of warning, he broke Aragog's leg right away!

Judging from the voice, it seemed to be a young wizard who had come here to study!

So ruthless at such a young age, what would he be like when he grew up!

He tried to escape, but he was already surrounded by flames. His massive size and age had made him much less agile than he had been in his youth.

"Still not behaving yourself?"

If it weren't for the concern that Dumbledore was communicating with Fawkes, Argus would have already used the Imperius Curse on him.

Simple and straightforward!

Unfortunately, Dumbledore's family bloodline could communicate with the phoenix, and if he deduced anything from Fawkes, Argus would be in trouble.

Now was not the time to break ties with Dumbledore.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Summon the Acromantulas from the Forbidden Forest right now!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right now!"

"I'm Hagrid's friend. For Hagrid's sake, don't do anything!"

Despite the excruciating pain of his broken leg, Aragog used the unique method of the Acromantula to send a message throughout the Forbidden Forest.

Harry and Ron were fleeing for their lives in the Forbidden Forest in their flying car.

Countless Acromantulas pursued and intercepted them.

Some of them even climbed onto the car and stretched their legs into the car windows!

Ron kept screaming.

He was terrified of spiders; even the sight of a tiny one made him tremble with fear.

They had managed to hold out this long against so many Acromantulas; they were almost at their limit!

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Harry, sitting in the passenger seat, took out his wand, but after a long pause, he could only throw out a Petrificus Totalus.

They barely managed to repel the Acromantula next to the car window.

"Fly up! If we don't fly up now, we'll have nowhere to run!"

"I want to fly too, but my head is covered in branches and vines, so I can't fly!"

Ron was also in a hurry, constantly fiddling with all sorts of buttons on the car.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of the Acromantulas crashing into the flying car could be heard continuously.

The windshield had been shattered at some point!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The two were so frightened that their voices became distorted, and Ron couldn't help but shed tears.

"Oh no, Harry, we're really going to get eaten by spiders! Waaaaah..."

"I don't want to die at the hands of a spider!"

"Stop crying! We're not dead yet!" Harry said, holding his wand and trying to cast his not-so-skilled spell.

He was very talented in spells, and over time he had become more and more skilled at casting them.

For a time, they managed to withstand the attack of the Acromantulas.

Before he could finish speaking, the Acromantulas around him seemed to be frozen in place by something, suddenly stopping in their tracks.

Harry wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by, and he kept urging Ron on.

Stop looking! Let's go!

"Oh oh!"

Ron snapped out of his daze and frantically steered the flying car into the sky.

Regardless of how badly the branches and vines damaged the car, they still tried their best to drive it out.

The two were whipped by the vines countless times before finally leaving the Forbidden Forest.

They opened the car door and slumped onto the ground.

They exchanged a glance, their faces showing only the relief of surviving a disaster.

After a long while, Harry slowly spoke: "Why did those giant Acromantulas suddenly stop?"

"I don't know... Never mind that! Let's go back! I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer!"

Ron got up, dusted himself off, and limped toward Hogwarts Castle.

Harry glanced at the flying car with a puzzled look, shook his head, and followed him.

...

Inside the cave.

Aragog saw his descendants pouring out of the cave, which gave him a boost of confidence.

Although there were many Acromantulas in the cave before, they only accounted for a small portion of the Forbidden Forest's population.

There were at most a few dozen, which wasn't a lot.

Now, hundreds or even thousands of Acromantulas had completely surrounded Argus.

Aragog could no longer hold back.

With a roar, countless Acromantulas pounced on Argus in a frenzy!

"Incarcerous!"

Argus had anticipated that Aragog would make a move.

This brainless beast had no idea about the difference in strength between the two sides.

He gripped the Philosopher's Stone tightly in his hand and pointed his wand upwards.

A cold smile played on his lips.

"Fiendfyre!"

Boom!

The blazing flames descended as if the world were ending!

The Acromantula inside the cave let out a terrified hiss!

But many more were reduced to ashes by the flames before they even had a chance to cry out!

The entire cave had been transformed into a fiery hell!

The Acromantulas' painful roars could be heard continuously.

"Let's go, Fawkes!"

"Leave the rest of the trouble to Dumbledore!"

Argus patted Fawkes's back, grabbed its paw, and vanished into the cave in an instant.

He was gone, but the flame remained!

The high temperature generated by the fire spread rapidly, climbing up the tree roots.

Click!

As the tree roots and rocks cracked, the entire cave collapsed with a deafening roar!

...

Whoosh!

Argus opened his eyes.

What came into view was not his own dormitory.

Instead, it was Dumbledore sitting in a recliner.

"Argus, would you like some toffee finger biscuits and Sherbet Lemon?"

"No need, Headmaster Dumbledore." Argus knew that Dumbledore was not looking for him with good intentions.

He wasn't given a chance to speak again.

"It's getting late. If there's nothing else, let Fawkes take me home."

Dumbledore sighed: "Argus, there's no need for us to be filled with suspicion."

Fawkes flew to his shoulder and chirped like a bird.

Dumbledore placed his hand on its head and listened patiently to its cries.

Suddenly, it was as if he had heard something unbelievable.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

He gave Argus a deep look.

"Argus, your talent is even greater than I imagined."

"I have never seen a young wizard learn such advanced spells in the second grade."

This old man really could communicate with the phoenix!

Fortunately, he had used Fiendfyre instead of Legilimency in front of it; otherwise, its attitude would never have been so gentle!

While it was true that Fiendfyre had once been a highlight in Dumbledore's hands, this spell was not created by him.

It was just that the learning difficulty was too great, requiring extremely powerful magic to cast.

Therefore, very few people used it.

This was the first time Argus had used this magic since he drew it.

It was only with the magic power supplied by the Philosopher's Stone that it was barely released.

Otherwise, he'd probably be drained dry before he even released it!

A glint flashed in Argus's eyes, which he quickly concealed.

"I just read more books and did more research."

"I do not deserve the praise from Headmaster Dumbledore."

"However, Headmaster, I'd like to ask, what was Harry doing in the Forbidden Forest so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"I remember we made an agreement that if Harry sought his own death, it wouldn't be under my protection."
