I became Voldemort

Chapter 75: Spider Swarm Siege

Cyrus pretended to be suspicious and annoyed, and continued to ask:

"So you never—never assaulted anyone?"

"No," the old spider said resentfully, "I have this instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt anyone. The body of the murdered girl was found in a bathroom. And I've never seen any part of the castle except the cupboard I grew up in. We spiders like darkness and silence..."

"But then... do you know what killed the girl?" Harry said, "Because whatever it was, it's back and attacking people now -"

Suddenly, there was a clicking sound, and countless long legs were moving rustlingly; huge black shadows were dangling around them.

"That thing that lives in the castle," Aragog said, "is an ancient creature that we spiders fear most."

"What is it?" Harry asked urgently, the truth coming before his eyes.

The clicking sounds became louder and the rustling sounds became denser.

The spiders seemed to be surrounding them, and the boys could sense them becoming very frightened and impatient.

"We won't tell!" Aragog said with emotion.

"We won't tell its name! I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that terrible creature, although he asked me many times."

"A.."

Harry didn't want to press the topic anymore, especially when spiders were gathering from all directions.

Ron seemed to be about to faint. His face was whiter than the paint on the wall, and he squeezed Harry hard showing an ugly expression of fear and pleading from his eyes.

Aragog seemed not to want to speak. It slowly retreated into its hemispherical web.

"It seems like we can't ask any more questions, but hey, at least we still got some information, right?" Cyrus said while staring at the spider.

The spiders seemed to be unable to restrain themselves and moved towards them slowly, inch by inch.

"Ah—yeah.. then let's go." Harry also realized something was wrong, "Wait.. why are the spiders coming towards us..? H-Hey, Aragog! We can leave, right? Aragog!?" he shouted to Aragog desperately, while hearing the leaves rustling behind him.

Ron seemed to hear redemption.

"Leave?" Cyrus said slowly, "I don't think it will let us leave like this..."

"You're right, I think you guys shouldn't leave -" Aragog's white eyes were still moving. He couldn't see anything, but he could still sense it. As it grows older, its control over the spider swarm is no longer what it used to be.

Previously it was a matter of just one Hagrid and he too looked powerful to these spiders, but now these little kids are here.

If Aragog blindly prevents the spider swarm from eating these humans who have fallen into the trap, it is very likely that the spider swarm will resist it.

"But - but -"

"My sons and daughters obeyed my orders and did not harm Hagrid. But fresh human flesh was automatically delivered to their doorsteps, and I cannot stop them from enjoying it or else they would stop obeying me. Farewell, Hagrid's friends..."

Cyrus turned around. A few steps away, high above him, the spiders formed a solid, towering wall of iron and steel, their giant claws clicking together, and many pairs of eyes on those ugly blackheads shining...

Harry felt like he was drowning at the bottom of the sea, and he felt suffocated by countless spiders.

Not to mention Ron, he seemed to be stupid and motionless, but even if he was good, I'm afraid he couldn't help, that wand couldn't do anything.

Harry wanted to pull out his wand and fight the spiders to the death, but Cyrus held him down.

"Let me do it, you can find a chance to take Ron away."

"But..."

Leave "Mr. Riddle" here alone?

Harry looked at the endless spiders and immediately shook his head: "But we can't leave you behind!"

Even Ron, who was so frightened that he had no strength at all, nodded.

He was more worried about his sister. If Cyrus died here, what would Ginny do? He was using Ginny's body.

"Don't worry, the Acromantula can't kill me yet. You guys should find a chance to leave first. that way, I don't have to worry about you when I escape." Cyrus now wants to separate from Harry and Ron, otherwise, how can he proceed with his seemingly... slightly sinister ritual?

The Acromantula wanted to eat them, so why didn't he want to exchange the life of the Acromantula for his own rebirth?

"But Mr. Ri—?"

"Afraid I'm no match for them?" Cyrus easily knocked away a spider as big as a car. Seeing Harry nod, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I was caught by them on purpose from the beginning. , otherwise, how can we find their lair?"

Harry and Ron were still hesitant.

"Okay, trust me! Ginny is also my friend. I would rather you two die than let her get hurt!"

"W-what?!!"

"All right!"

Although Harry agreed, he actually didn't know how to get out of there.

There were so many of them that even though Cyrus kept knocking away the approaching spiders, they still surrounded the area.

*Wrooom-Criii*

At this time, a high-pitched and long voice suddenly sounded, and a dazzling light illuminated the entire depression.

Mr. Weasley's car rumbled down the slope, its headlights flashing and its horn blaring, knocking the spiders aside; several were knocked backwards, their long legs dancing in the air.

*Shrill-stop!*

With a shrill sound, the car stopped in front of Harry and Ron, and the door flew open.

"Get inside, Quick!" Cyrus cleared the spiders around the car and pushed them into the car.

Harry and Ron adjusted their postures with difficulty.

"Take this Fang also!" Cyrus yelled, grabbing the large hound that seemed to be wilted and throwing it into the back seat.

The car door slammed shut.

Ron didn't touch the accelerator, but fortunately, the car didn't require him to do anything; the engine roared to life and they set off.

But the spiders couldn't just watch the food in their mouths escape, could they?

They blocked the way. Many Acromantulas looked bigger than cars, blocking the front like a hairy hill.

Harry and Ron in the car were pale and didn't know what to do.

At this time, a fierce red light suddenly lit up outside the glass, and then a loud noise was heard. The huge spider in front of them was blown into pieces, and the entire road was cleared.

Harry and Ron in the car quickly turned around and saw Cyrus standing among the spiders, pointing his wand at the exit. Only now do they understand how powerful this "Mr. Riddle" who once showed off his talents is.

*Wrrrrrom*

There was no obstacle, and the car sped up the slope and left the depression.
