From the looks of it, the cause of this incident was Elwyn's fire.
Aragok was obviously filled with resentment towards this incident and Elwyn himself. It waved its pincers at an unprecedented speed, its entire body trembling.
If it could, it would have rushed up and torn him to pieces.
Elwyn held his wand tightly and only relaxed his guard when Aragok regained its composure.
He could understand what Aragok was thinking. From its point of view, he was the one who burned hundreds of the elite Eight-eyed Spiders and made things worse.
But the root cause was that Aragok believed in the power of darkness. It was bloodthirsty, cruel, cunning, and went back on its words. It had brought about its own destruction.
At that time, if it had kept its promise and let Elwyn and Peter leave, none of this would have happened. Aragok and his descendants could also live in the Forbidden Forest as before and continue to rely on the method of offering sacrifices to the unknown creatures in the depths of the earth to extend their evil lives.
Elwyn snorted coldly and looked at the old spider with disgust. A life that relied on sacrificing other lives to extend itself was really disgusting.
In a sense, the Aragok in front of him was no different from the giant female spider outside. They had both mutated into monsters.
But he also knew that this matter could not be blamed entirely on Aragok.
It was a creature of darkness, and it was difficult to use human moral standards to restrain it, let alone say that what it did was wrong.
Few people could face death in peace. If one had to describe it, it could only be described as fate's arrangement.
Moreover, Ivan was sure that even if he hadn't caused that fire, the evil creature hiding deep underground wouldn't have given up so easily.
In the original plot, Aragok only lasted a few more years.
After its death, its descendants quickly joined the Lord Voldemort's camp and participated in the final battle. But how the Lord Voldemort dealt with the creature was unknown.
Was it directly annihilated, or was there some secret agreement?
Since things had developed to this point, there was no point in thinking about it.
Elwyn now only hoped that Aragok would do as it said. Before dealing with the common enemy, it would not rush to settle the score with him for killing its descendants.
Of course, if it really wanted to do that, Elwyn would not be afraid.
Looking at Aragok's current state, he was confident that he could kill it with a spell.
"Its existence has always been a secret, and only I know about it. I did not let my children near here." "Crack, crack." Aragok waved its large pincers and said emotionally, "But since that day, it has become stronger. Its whispers have spread throughout the entire nest, and it has begun to bypass me and directly control my children. I wanted to of it, but there was nothing I could do. It has stopped supplying me with energy, and I have become extremely weak and of old. I am getting closer and closer to death. I can only lie here alone. "
A strong gust of cold wind blew from the deep pit. Aragok had curled up into a ball, like an old man on the verge of death. It did not have the aura that a King of Spiders should have.
Elwyn was not confused by the scene in front of him. He quietly raised his wand and pointed it at Aragok in the middle of the spider web. He said meaningfully, "Before coming here, I saw your mate and tens of thousands of spider eggs in the big cave outside."
"My children," Aragok replied weakly. "How are they? I have not seen them for a long time since I was imprisoned here."
"Very bad. Under the transformation of the power of darkness, they can no longer be called eight-eyed spiders. They have completely become monsters." Elwyn squinted and continued, "I cannot let these monsters live into the forbidden forest, so I killed them. Under the devouring of the fierce fire, not even ashes will be left. I am sorry, but I have to do this. Perhaps Hagrid will find a way to help you find a new mate. "
Hearing Elwyn's words, Aragok did not respond.
It did not speak, but lay there quietly. No one knew what it was thinking about.
In the darkness, Elwyn held his breath, straightened his arm and raised his wand, waiting for its choice.
He had already prepared his magic. If Aragok made any strange moves, he would kill it first, then think of a way to deal with the guy below and save Malfoy.
"As you said, they have all become monsters and do not listen to my orders. They are no longer eight-eyed spiders, and should be destroyed," Aragok said resentfully. "Me and my children have become like this because of it. I swear to kill it. I want revenge."
"Very good. I am glad that you have such a resolution." Elwyn breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Tell me your plan. What do you want me to do?"
"It is very simple. Go down there and kill it. Help me take revenge." Aragok moved forward, its pincers waving fiercely. "It and the human boy are below. I do not know what happened. It is very weak now and does not have much power. As long as you go down, you can kill it completely. "
"How do I go down from here?" Elwyn glanced at the deep pit under his feet. He knew more than Aragok about the current state of the thing hidden deep underground. After it failed to cast a spell on him, it had suffered a severe backlash.
The problem now was how to get to the bottom of the deep pit.
"My child can help you." Aragok's pincers opened and closed quickly, as if it was summoning something.
After a few seconds, Elwyn saw a greenish-black eight-eyed spider descending from above.
It slowly landed between him and Aragok, and as it approached, Ivan noticed that there was a strand of spider silk hanging from its tail.
"It can help you to the bottom of the deep pit, Hagrid's friend." Click click click. Aragok said slowly, "After killing that thing, it will bring you and your companions up from below. I will give you an extra gift to express my gratitude."
Elwyn looked at the two eight-eyed spiders in front of him suspiciously. He was not looking forward to Aragok's gift at all. He only hoped that it would not throw him down from mid-air.
Considering the spider's nature, this was very likely to happen.
He hesitated. The eight-eyed spider hanging in mid-air looked at him fiercely. Eight pairs of black eyes shone with a malicious light under the light of the wand.
"I can go down, but you must come with me." Elwyn took out a glass bottle filled with green liquid from his pocket.
He had learned his lesson since Christmas at the Blake family's old house. He had missed out on many precious magic books because he did not have a package.
For the past few months, Elwyn had been researching and experimenting. In the end, he finally succeeded in casting the Traceless Stretch on a small package.
Although the casting of the spell was not perfect, it was barely usable.
