Chapter 699 Neville Vs. Nagini

As Voldemort's Horcrux, Nagini was always with Voldemort and under his protection.

Only for a few hours a week did Voldemort allow Nagini to leave Avery Manor and go hunting in the nearby primeval forest. She had a small amount of free time, which was also Voldemort's preference for Nagini.

After all, even the Death Eaters in Avery Manor were not allowed to leave Avery Manor before Voldemort led them to attack Hogwarts Castle. They were forced to practice the method of plundering the power of the stars to prepare for the war.

Fortunately, except for the Hufflepuff's gold cup, Lynn and Irina destroyed Voldemort's other Horcruxes in secret, and Voldemort did not know that his Horcruxes had been destroyed except Nagini and Harry Potter, who he did not even know.

Voldemort naively thought that the only Horcrux he had discovered was the Hufflepuff's gold cup.

Otherwise, Voldemort would not have let Nagini leave Avery Manor, giving Lynn an opportunity.

A week after Harry got the memory from Slughorn, Lynn caught Nagini in a primeval forest 15 kilometers away from Avery Manor, and after temporarily controlling her with the Full Body Binding Spell, he used Apparition to bring her to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

In fact, if Lynn was willing to conduct a carpet search, he might not be able to find the location of Nagini through him and find the coordinates of Avery Manor. After all, Avery Manor was not protected by the Fidelius Charm.

But that was too time-consuming. Besides, he couldn't really kill Voldemort before all the Horcruxes were destroyed, so he didn't need to do that.

"Irina, go call Neville over."

Lynn landed on his feet, and after he cast a few Full Body Binding Spells at Nagini on the ground, he said to Irina who had been waiting for a long time.

Irina nodded slightly, and she threw a sword over. It was the Gryffindor Sword.

Ever since Lynn and Irina killed the basilisk and pulled the Gryffindor Sword out of the Sorting Hat, the Gryffindor Sword has been kept in the principal's office.

Until Lynn found the trace of Nagini and was ready to kidnap her, Irina went to the principal's office and borrowed the Gryffindor Sword from Dumbledore for Neville to use when he completed the assessment.

Lynn took the Gryffindor Sword, and he looked at Nagini, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move. When he waved his wand, an illusion array was refined with Nagini's position as the center.

Of course, this is not a complete illusion array. It does not give the entrant a complete illusion, but changes the entrant's cognition, just like twisting the big snake Nagini in front of him into the appearance of the big snake that originally existed in the Forbidden Forest.

This is also to make the appearance of Nagini in Neville's eyes more reasonable.

Lin En flipped his left hand, and the alchemical detector appeared in his hand. Under the scanning of the alchemical detector, the data of Gryffindor's Holy Sword and Nagini were all recorded into the illusion array.

When Neville walked into the illusion array, Nagini in his eyes would turn into another poisonous snake, and the Gryffindor Holy Sword in his eyes would turn into the same silver sword as the one he had experienced in the illusion test.

After about fifteen minutes, Neville walked over with some uneasiness under the leadership of Irina.

"Come on, Neville," Lynn waved to Neville calmly, saying, "I guess Irina has told you what happened?"

Neville nodded nervously and said, "Well, Irina said that you plan to choose me as the successor of the D.A. Army, but... can I really do it?"

Lynn smiled and said, "Believe in yourself, of course you can. Come forward, Neville, just like your half-year illusion test, use the silver sword in your hand to kill the big snake, this is your test."

Neville looked at the center of the illusion array, the big snake that couldn't move.

Neville wiped the sweat from his palms, nodded vigorously, and stepped into the illusion array.

Neville's mind was full of what Lynn and Irina said, the test that made him the successor of the D.A. Army, but he didn't notice that he hadn't stepped into the illusion array just now, but he could still see the big snake outside the illusion.

The moment Neville stepped into the illusion array, everything in front of him changed.

Under the cognitive modification of the illusion array and the alchemy detector, Neville felt as if he was in a huge arena, and a huge, patterned venomous snake was entrenched not far from him.

Outside the illusion array, Lynn threw the Gryffindor holy sword in his hand and made it stick into the soil at Neville's feet.

In the illusion array, Neville only saw a silver sword appear out of thin air and stuck at his feet. He pulled out the silver sword and looked at the big snake in the distance with a look of fighting intent.

"Stop the spell!"

Outside the illusion array, Lynn gently shook the magic wand in his hand and lifted the whole body binding spell on Nagini.

After the binding was lifted, Nagini immediately showed its ferocity. Its thick and long snake body suddenly popped out and rushed straight to Neville's face.

Neville subconsciously dodged to the side, dodging Nagini's ejection, and swung a sword at Nagini's seven inches.

The threat of death made Nagini nervous. It twisted its body in the air, trying to avoid Neville's Gryffindor Sword, but Neville's Gryffindor Sword followed Nagini's body twisting and kept changing the angle of the sword!

In the end, the Gryffindor Sword brushed past Nagini's seven inches. Although it did not hit Nagini directly, it also left a nearly one-meter-long cut on its body!

Scarlet blood splashed out, dyeing the soil of the Forbidden Forest red. The sudden pain made Nagini scream in pain several times, and the murderous intent in her eyes became even worse.

Fearing the Gryffindor Sword in Neville's hand, Nagini did not dare to get close to Neville for a while.

But this does not mean that Nagini has no other means of attack.

It opened its mouth wide, and a ball of snake venom with a fishy smell sprayed directly from its mouth, heading straight for Neville's face.

Under the cognitive modification of the illusion array, the venom turned into a dark purple horrible liquid in Neville's vision, which made Neville roll two or three times in a row. After avoiding the liquid, he looked at Nagini in the distance with a dreadful look.

Nagini spit out venom several times in a row, but Neville dodged all of them. Looking at the figure holding the Gryffindor Holy Sword and constantly approaching him, Nagini had no choice but to pounce and bite in the direction of Neville. (End of this chapter)
