What was Aragok talking about? Following its children?
Elwyn thought it was referring to the eight-eyed spider that had sent him here, but it did not follow him.
But he quickly understood what it meant. With the help of the light at the end of his wand, he saw rows of small spiders hurriedly crawling through the cracks on the ground …
Elwyn followed the small spiders and found a hidden cave in a dark corner on the left side of the hall. It was very narrow and could not be seen if one did not pay attention.
He laughed bitterly. This was a passage used by the eight-eyed spider.
Luckily, he was small and thin, so he could barely pass through.
If it had been an older wizard or someone like Gower or Crabbe, he would not have even thought about it.
Elwyn placed his wand horizontally in front of him, bent down and crawled into the narrow tunnel covered in dust and spider webs.
This passage did not go through the wall directly. It was winding and rugged, with many forks in the road. It was like a maze, and there was no way to tell which way to go.
Every time he got lost, he would take out the bottle of Aragok.
The clicking sound of the old spider's claws could summon its children.
After a while, a few small spiders crawled in front of Elwyn and guided him to the right path.
After crawling forward for about ten minutes, Elwyn's eyes suddenly opened up.
He crawled out of the crack and saw nothing but darkness. Endless darkness pressed down on him from all directions, constantly compressing the light at the end of his wand.
Elwyn felt that his magic was being suppressed, and its effects were greatly weakened. An invisible pressure came from the front. There seemed to be something there …
"Flickering fluorescent light." He chanted the incantation again and took a step back.
Elwyn stood close to the wall, his wand firmly placed in front of his chest. If he maintained this posture, he would not have to worry about being attacked from the front and back.
But nothing happened. He increased the strength of his magic, and the faint fluorescent light at the end of the wand gradually grew brighter and brighter, and soon became blinding.
Under the strong light, Elwyn first noticed the walls around him.
Just like the passage at the top, it was covered with colorful murals.
Since the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider hadn't destroyed these murals, they were relatively intact.
The story on the mural seemed to be a continuation of the previous one. It depicted the evil creature created by the dark wizard and Slytherin himself.
On the wall to the left of Elwyn, the young Slytherin raised his wand high and shot out a thick green light. He was fighting the monster …
On the right wall, Slytherin seemed to have defeated his opponent.
He was standing in front of the strange creature with tentacles all over its body. He seemed to be casting a spell that Elwyn had never seen before. His body was surrounded by strange lights.
Elwyn's mind was filled with questions. What was Slytherin doing?
He wanted to observe the other murals, but when he turned around, he saw Malfoy lying in the middle of the room.
He was lying there with a pale face, silent, like an abandoned doll.
Although he didn't really care about Malfoy's life, Elwyn's heart was still in his throat. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly walked over.
There was a voice telling him that Malfoy was dead …
However, when Elwyn walked over, he found that he had only fainted. Although his breath was very weak, he was fine.
Malfoy's expression alternated between calm and pain, as if he was having a nightmare.
Looking at him, he must have been frightened in his dream. He kept calling out his parents and Snape's names.
Through his previous contact, Elwyn could confirm that the monster that lived on souls could control other people's dreams, causing people to fall into fear in their sleep and be at its mercy.
Before the soul finally collapsed and was devoured by the monster, this effect was not fatal. As for whether Malfoy would be traumatized by this, Elwyn didn't care.
After confirming that Malfoy's soul had not been devoured, Elwyn stopped looking at him.
He raised his head and looked around the empty room for the monster, the master who had whispered in his mind, but he didn't see anything.
The square room was empty, and there was nothing on the floor except dust.
This was too strange. Elwyn didn't dare to let his guard down. He was highly focused, and the muscles on his body tightened.
He further increased the magic input, and the strong light from the wand illuminated every corner.
"Lost lamb, are you looking for me?" A low whisper suddenly sounded.
"Where are you?" Elwyn shouted. "What are you? Show yourself!"
"The stars can dispel the bone-chilling coldness, but the small light in your hand can't dispel the darkness," the whisper said quietly. "You are resisting stubbornly, as if you can really change everything, but this is just a futile struggle. You will know …"
Following his voice, the light intensity on Elwyn's wand rapidly decreased …
A strong magical pressure came at him. To Elwyn, this was a completely unfamiliar magic and spell, and he didn't know how to resist.
The light that was as dazzling as the sun soon became a candle in the wind, flickering and extinguishing. It was so dim that even Elwyn's face could not be seen clearly.
"You will know, no one can escape, even the Grim Reaper will die," the whisper continued to echo in Elwyn's ears. "Only darkness and loneliness are eternal. You will all be alone in the end, slowly falling into a deep sleep in this land …"
"Sorry, I'm not sleepy yet, so I don't want to sleep," Elwyn squinted his eyes and replied directly. "And I think the words you have been saying are worthless. You keep repeating the same thing, it's really annoying."
In the next second, he suddenly turned around and quickly waved his wand. With the fastest speed, he released three silver-white magic spells directly above him, like lightning.
Dumbledore once taught him that all magic would leave traces, as long as he carefully sensed it, he would be able to find it. Although he couldn't tell the direction of the whisper, couldn't identify the strange magic used by the other party, and couldn't break it, he could sense the source of the other party's magic.
Elwyn quickly retreated and looked above his head.
In the place where the ceiling should have been, he saw a huge round creature.
Most of its body was deep into the wall, and the parts that were exposed were not very strange. The whole body's skin was dark purple and extremely rough.
This monster's body was extremely large, and it was covered with soft tentacles that were constantly wriggling. It looked very disgusting.
The most eye-catching thing was its eyes, which were a pair of blood-red eyes, cold and emotionless, as if there was not the slightest warmth.
