39- Slytherin and the World-Eating Serpent

"Oh, Merlin!"

The cold seawater surged, and the waves jumped up from the obscure and dark sea surface. With a hint of chill, they slapped on the edge of the wooden boat and broke into thousands of small sprays, soaking the hem of Daphne's robe.

Daphne was stunned.

She leaned down and touched the slightly damp robe. Combined with the fishy smell of the sea that she could smell at the tip of her nose, a trace of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes: Wasn't she just in Slytherin's secret room with Rhys?? Why was she suddenly teleported to the sea?

The feeling was so realistic that Daphne couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality. She didn't calm down until Rhys patted her on the shoulder.

"Everything is all right," Rhys's voice seemed to have magic power, soothing Daphne's anxious heart like the sea.

She observed the surrounding environment, and then a person standing on the bow of the ship attracted her attention: it was a middle-aged wizard wearing a green robe with silver trim, holding a stick—no—a Snake staff that was about as high as his body in his hand.

The face of the middle-aged wizard has a bit of Rhys's shadow and is somewhat similar to the statue in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

The ship was driven forward slowly by the waves.

boom!!!

A piece of blood-red lightning flashed across the horizon in the distance, followed by a burst of dense thunder-like raindrops. The light of lightning briefly illuminated the dark sea, and Daphne noticed a small island not far ahead.

The island is not big, with a diameter of only more than a hundred meters. The entire island is covered by dark rocks, with no grass growing on it except for some mottled green moss.

The thunder and lightning in the distance heralded the coming storm. In this case, driving a small boat on the endless sea is undoubtedly a bad idea, so it is good to encounter a small island.

As the only living person on board besides Rhys and Daphne, the middle-aged wizard was naturally the helmsman of the boat. After seeing the small island in the sea, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, looking quite relieved. He did not sail to the small island and stop on it to take shelter from the rain. Instead, he knocked on the deck of the ship with the staff in his hand. The boat under him immediately stopped moving. No matter how windy and cloudy the weather, it seemed to be stuck to the sea with glue. Still motionless.

Small raindrops floated in the sky.

Daphne looked like she wasn't a fan of the sea's smell. Rhys raised his hand, and a transparent barrier appeared above him and Daphne, shielding them from the wind and rain.

Rhys would use magic spells to help block the rain, but the middle-aged wizard just let the rain wet his robes like a Muggle without magic.

As time passed, the thunder in the distance became more intense, and the raindrops falling from the sky became more and more dense. Finally, when a red lightning bolt pierced the clouds and a roaring thunder exploded in the sky, the situation changed.

The small island in front of the boat suddenly trembled, and the next moment, the sea surface cracked with a deafening sound. Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and then these fragments of the sea turned into boundless waves.

In front of such huge waves, even a 10,000-ton giant ship would capsize. However, under the feet of Daphne, Rhys, and the middle-aged man, this small wooden boat, which was only two to three meters wide and ten meters long, was as stable as a rock, placed "steady" within the huge waves like it was stuck to the point.

"That island!!!" Daphne suddenly screamed in fear, without any ladylike demeanor.

No one could blame her, because the scene in front of her was too terrifying: the island was rising, and as it emerged from the sea little by little, its true appearance was revealed - it was not a small island in the sea, but...

It wasn't an Island in the first place!

*Thunder!!!*

But the head of a giant snake that reaches the limits of human imagination.

After being dormant for a long time, it finally stretched out its body, and the seawater slid down like a waterfall. The majestic body like a mountain was exposed from under the sea, like a mountain range suddenly appearing in the sea.

Its movement which looked like stretching stirred up turbulent waves, and the sky and the earth changed color because of it.

After witnessing this scene, it was extremely courageous for Daphne to still be able to stand.

"Ahahahah! ksǝʇɐʇʞɐꓘ Rsɐn-unoX!!"

The middle-aged wizard laughed, said something in a language that Daphne couldn't understand, and then floated up into the air, and the giant snake opened its eyes.

The boat beneath the two of them was not even as big as the snake's eyeball. Those orange-red eyes were filled with cold animality, as if everything in the world was just its food.

However, facing such a giant beast, the middle-aged wizard took the initiative.

He raised the staff flat and pointed it at the giant snake's eye, and then a green light as thick as a fist emerged from the tip of the staff.

The green light flew towards the giant snake's eyes. Faced with the attack of the ants in front of it, the giant snake didn't even bother to dodge. It just closed its eyes - just like people are not afraid of mosquito attacks, the giant snake did not attack the small things in front of it.

The giant snake wasn't afraid of the green light, even if it blocked from just its eyelids, it was not something that the person in front of it could break through.

The giant snake paid the price for its arrogance. The light penetrated its eyelids and exploded in its eyeballs.

*Criiiiiiiiik*

Transparent colloidal liquid splashed everywhere, and the giant snake twisted in pain. In an instant, as if the end of the world had come, the entire North Sea roared, and violent winds were born out of thin air on the sea, sweeping everything around it into the sky.

*Criiiiiiiiik**Criiiiiiiiik**Criiiiiiiiik*

*Thunder*

The giant snake was so angry that the sky and the earth changed color. The lightning and thunder in the sky were drowned out by its momentum.

A storm descended on this sea area, and the sky and the sea were connected by rain. At this moment, the giant snake turned into a moving natural disaster. In front of it, the middle-aged wizard was so small...

But just because he injured the giant snake and damaged its eyesight, even if he was buried under the sea the next moment, he was proud enough.

The wizard then frowned on his thought just now, it was clear that the wizard was not satisfied.

He didn't come all the way to the East just to give acupuncture to the world-devouring snake. He waved the wand in his hand, and some of the rainwater around him suddenly began to defy gravity and hover around him.

The raindrops that betrayed gravity became more and more, and finally formed an area of ​​100 meters in diameter around the wizard. In this area, the rain seemed to have become a part of the wizard's body, and the shocking momentum of the giant snake could no longer affect him in the slightest.

After floating and then standing on the air itself, the tip of the wizard's staff lit up with a little green light. "Hᴏᥒᒉ-ᥒɑƨ ⥀ᴄɑĸϝɑϝᴇƨ" He waved the staff in his hand, using the staff as a pen and the sky as a scroll, and quickly sketched out the prototype of a magic circle.

As if it felt threatened, the giant snake began to attack the wizard, but the wizard was more flexible than it. As it moved around, several powerful attacks fell into the air - one tail flick even split the seawater, leaving the seafloor exposed to the air.

The magic circle finally took shape, and the space between the sky and the sea began to twist. A green light like thunder passed through, dyeing half of the sky green.

The giant snake twisted its body, trying to avoid the blow... But—*BoooooOoooooooOOOOmMMmmMmm*

*Roar!!**Thunder!*

...

The storm gradually dissipated, and the sea returned to calm, but the color of the water was dyed red. The middle-aged wizard found his boat and continued to drift on the sea as if nothing had happened, but in his hands, there was a white 'rope?'...
