Chapter 304: Venomous Fang
Chapter 304: Venomous Fang
Warm blood splashed across Jon's face.
Rodolphus stared at Jon with an incredulous gaze!
He could no longer maintain the transfigured knight's sword in his hand, and just as the sword blade was about to fall feebly on Jon's body, it turned back into the ice block it had been before the transfiguration was cast upon it and smashed to the ground.
Jon gasped sharply, not thrilled by Rodolphus' death, not even taking the time to pull the venomous fang of the basilisk from his throat!
Because Bella, who was pinned under his knees, had screamed and struggled to get up.
No matter how hard Jon tried to pin her neck back under his knees, enduring the pain coming from his legs and trying to get the dagger in Bella's hand, he was unsuccessful!
Gabrielle spotted Jon's current predicament and with quivering lips and a great deal of courage boosted, she too tried to grab the dagger from Bella's hand, but not even Jon could match the strength of this madwoman, let alone the young Gabrielle!
Just as Bella was about to rise from the ground, after having completely freed herself from Jon's knees, Jon's hand, which had been holding the root of the basilisk's fang and trying to pull it out of Rodolphus's throat, suddenly pushed it hard again, only to hurl Rodolphus's body in front of him, spurting blood like a fountain that seemed to turn the surroundings into an inferno of blood!
The basilisk's fang was lodged in the spine and wasn't likely to be pulled out that easily.
The problem was immediately obvious to Jon, but he had no other better weapon at hand.
There are still other basilisk fangs in his pocket, but by the time he takes them out, Bella would have already plunged the dagger into his head!
Just as Jon was caught in the middle of a dilemma with no weapon left to use, a maniacal grin appeared on Bella's bloodied face, and she suddenly thrust her dagger at Jon's heart!
If Nick still remained in front of him, Jon would not have had to worry about Bella's strike, but he had just left Nick behind in order to complete the knee press on Bella, and now there was no way to defend himself effectively.
In less than a second, after the trade-off had been made in his head, Jon raised both of his defenceless arms unbelievably quickly and blocked in front of Bella's dagger!
There was another splash of blood!
There was sticky blood everywhere, Jon's, Rodolphus', Bella's, their blood was so mixed together that it was impossible to tell whose blood was on whose body!
The dagger had penetrated Jon's left arm so deeply that Bella's thrust had pierced his bones!
The excruciating pain took over Jon's brain, but it did not make him lose his reason.
After blocking the shot, he swung his intact right arm with all his might and brought his fist down hard on Bella's crazy face!
Even if Jon is young, he is still fifteen years old, and even if he is not yet an adult, this punch at his full strength is definitely not light.
Bella's entire head was instantly shifted a great distance to the left by the punch, yet she still held on to the dagger as if it had been welded to her hand, despite suffering such a heavy blow!
The next moment she jerked the dagger out of Jon's arm, drawing up a spray of blood that was much fresher compared to the scarlet ones around her!
"Lowly mudblood!!! You filthy bloody scum!!!"
With a shrill curse that had almost cracked her vocal cords, she raised her dagger again and was about to bring it down again on Jon's forehead when a candelabra struck her abruptly in the back of the head!
Gabrielle lifted the serpentine candelabra that Jon had brought out of the Slytherin chamber with great effort, biting her bloodless lip and fighting back tears as she slammed it down on Bella's head.
But she simply lacked the strength of an adult, or even a teenager, and could only rely on the weight of the candelabra itself to inflict damage on Bella and hinder her move to kill Jon.
"Get out of the way!"
Bella, who was dizzy from Jon's punch and Gabrielle's pounding with the candelabra, slapped away the candelabra Gabrielle was holding which rolled a few times on the ground with Gabrielle.
And by now the mellifluous singing was getting closer and there was a faint trembling in the ground!
Jon had grabbed Bella's arm, which was holding the dagger, and was in a brief stalemate with her, and his excitement at the sound of Fawkes' song had not lasted half a second before the trembling of the ground jolted his heart down to the bottom!
Death eaters!
Lots of Death Eaters!
The Death Eaters were running after Fawkes!
If Fawkes had rushed over in this condition, not only would he not have been able to provide Jon help, but the sheer number of Death Eaters would have really pushed Jon over the edge in the current situation!
But just as Jon's heart sank, Fawkes' song suddenly cut off from the distance!
Immediately afterwards, a blinding golden-red glow lit up around Jon and Bella!
He had flown to this spot before, and after determining Jon's exact location, he came straight away from the Death Eaters who were chasing him with an Apparition!
And Jon, at this time, also suddenly pushed Bella with all his might outwards, then with one hand holding the upper part of Rodolphus' corpse and the other grabbing the fang that was still stuck in his neck, his whole body embraced Rodolphus and pinned Bella straight to the ground with the weight of both of them!
"Gabrielle! Hold on to Nick! Grab my hand!"
Just as Fawkes had appeared directly above Jon, his claws landing on Jon's shoulder, Gabrielle grabbed Nick's arm with one hand, the candelabra that she had just used as a weapon was on Nick's belly, and held his hand with the other as Jon had said!
And as Jon took hold of Gabrielle's hand, Fawkes on his shoulder had begun a new burst of Apparition when the dozen or so Death Eaters who had chased Fawkes over in pursuit raised their wands in their hands at Jon from a distance as well.
Bella, who was struggling under her husband's body with a shrill cry, simply didn't have the strength left to push Jon and Rodolphus off of her anymore!
The golden light from Fawkes' body wrapped around Jon, Gabrielle, Nick, Rodolphus and Bella's bodies, began to grow blindingly bright together!
Right at the moment when the Death Eaters had chanted the incantation, Jon and their figures disappeared from this labyrinth under the ice.
Jon abruptly pressed his whole body against the venomous fang lodged in Rodolphus's neck!
