Chapter 152: Mirror Dimension Upgraded Version

Boom!

When the goblin Bruno saw the huge yellowish eyes outside the glass, his whole body became weak, and he quickly lay down on the ground, afraid of being seen by the other party. Terrible. It was really terrible. How could there be such devilish eyes in the world! If its eyes were so big, its body must be enormous!

Bruno recalled the trembling that had overtaken him just from looking into those eyes, feeling as if he was facing death at all times. He almost peed out of fear. After those huge yellowish eyes finally left, Bruno found the strength to stand up and move forward slowly. He walked to the desk and tapped a button hard.

Boom!

In an instant, a large number of dark blue lines appeared on the surface of the entire house, exuding a significant amount of magical power. Immediately afterward, the entire house seemed to be wrapped in a huge blue light film, like a defensive shield. Feeling that the defense measures of the alchemy hut were activated, he sat in the chair and felt his strength quickly return. He had been scared to death just now. How could there be such devilish eyes in the world? It seemed like he would die just by looking at them.

But just as Bruno relaxed a little, he suddenly heard a deafening roar in his ears, as if the house was about to break apart. His face turned ugly. He could feel the alchemy hut being attacked, and every attack was powerful. The house trembled faintly while he sat in the study. With this intensity of attack, if other measures were not taken, it might not be long before it was destroyed.

Thoughts flashed in his mind as Bruno quickly tapped the button again, three times in a row, activating some mechanism. Bruno heard a huge roar from beside him but had no time to think. He quickly took out a brown disc—a portkey.

Flashback: 10 minutes ago

Lockhart stood in front of the alchemy hut, recalling the information he had just gotten, and the corners of his mouth curled up. This goblin alchemist master was really afraid of death. During the interrogation, the female goblin revealed a lot of magical traps and defensive measures in the alchemy hut. The sheer number of them made Lockhart feel a bit troubled. This showed how afraid of death the goblin was, or how timid he was.

But it was good to be afraid of death. Only those who know the horror of death will be truly obedient. If he were really brave and unafraid of death, Lockhart would have more trouble. Standing at the door of the alchemy hut, Lockhart had no intention of walking in directly. How stupid would he have to be to do that? Now that he knew the other party had set up so many magical traps and defensive measures in the house, pressing on dryly was seeking death.

Although the female goblin had revealed a lot of information, he didn't dare to believe it all. If he was accidentally trapped by unknown traps, he would lose everything. As an alchemist, he relied on magic items to make money and to fight. Arranging various offensive and defensive measures through alchemy was the most common fighting method used by alchemists. As an alchemist master, he had even more means. Given enough resources and time, an alchemist master could completely transform a place into a fortress that ordinary wizards could not break through.

Therefore, although Lockhart obtained a lot of information, he had no intention of rushing in directly. But he couldn't let this goblin have a chance to run away. If he escaped, it would be harder to catch him next time. The thought flashed through his mind, and Lockhart waved his wand. Slowly but powerfully, he outlined runes in the air, shining with silver light. This time the magic took longer but was more powerful.

When the complete rune pattern was outlined, dense transparent ripples bloomed instantly, spreading to all sides as if the space was shattered. Trees, stone pillars, walls, houses, streets, including the alchemy hut, were all shrouded. The sound of breaking mirrors, or breaking space, reached Lockhart's ears.

Mirror Dimension (Upgraded Version)!

The gentle sound of the wind stopped. There were no sounds of birds or animals; everything was lonely and deserted. In Lockhart's eyes, the world in front of him was gray and white. Only he, the basilisk, and the alchemy hut in front of him had the colors of reality. The new Mirror Dimension was an upgraded version that Lockhart had continuously researched, summarized, and refined by combining magical knowledge from two worlds.

The original Mirror Dimension in the Harry Potter world not only consumed a lot of magic but also opened a somewhat narrow space and couldn't be replicated in scenes filled with magic. Only scenes with no or weak magic power could be copied. In the upgraded version, although the space that could be opened was still limited, the consumption was reduced significantly, and the space could be slightly distorted. The most important feature was that, while it couldn't project scenes full of magic, the Mirror Dimension could completely swallow them up, like the alchemy hut now.

Lockhart, outside the hut, couldn't directly pull the goblin Bruno into the Mirror Dimension through the defensive measures of the alchemy hut. But he could pull the entire alchemy hut into the Mirror Dimension and then deal with it uniformly. Of course, the gray and white color was also a feature of the new version of the Mirror Dimension.

Seeing the alchemy hut in front of him, Lockhart called out the contract, signaling the basilisk to return to its normal size. In Lockhart's eyes, the originally small basilisk grew thicker and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its huge body crushed the surrounding vegetation, rocks, and stone piers, making a thumping sound. Eventually, because the body was too big, a wall connected around it collapsed suddenly.

Looking at the huge body of the basilisk, Lockhart tapped his toes lightly on the ground and jumped up. A burst of magic instantly burst out from the boots under his feet. Lockhart floated in mid-air, stepping forward until he came to the huge head of the basilisk, and the entire alchemy hut came into view.

Calling the basilisk, Lockhart tried to use its massive body and powerful force to knock down the alchemy hut. He wanted to completely subdue this goblin from body to mind, leaving no room for distraction. The goblin race typically feared power more than virtue. When they were weak, they would kneel and lick like pet dogs, seemingly doing their best to serve their master. But when they became stronger, they would bite like mad dogs, stopping only when they had bitten the enemy to death.

Especially the last time Lockhart saw the group of goblins with magic firearms in Gringotts, he was deeply shocked. It reminded him of a certain country in his previous life.

Suddenly!

Dense dark blue lines bloomed on the surface of the entire alchemy hut, and then a dark blue defensive shield rose up. Lockhart wasn't surprised. It would have been strange if the other party hadn't noticed the commotion. Then he commanded the basilisk to start smashing into the entire alchemy hut.

Under Lockhart's order, the basilisk continuously smashed into the alchemy hut with its huge body. After each hit, the dark blue defensive shield bloomed with dazzling blue light, with magic power circulating above, seemingly resisting all attacks. However, as the basilisk continued to hit the defensive shield with its tail, the dark blue light slowly began to dim.

Seeing this, Lockhart's mouth curled up in a smile.

Suddenly!

Roar! The alchemy hut that had been continuously smashed suddenly burst out with a large amount of dark blue thunder, hitting the basilisk's body. The basilisk roared loudly in pain. Lockhart's eyes narrowed, knowing that the other party was beginning to resist.
