Chapter 105: Jack makes his appearance
Even though he is the self proclaimed greatest sorcerer in the world he did not have an ounce of common sense. If he did, he would be still living normally ruling the entire earth. Well he is a moron on the same level or a little higher than Ron.
Also he is mentally challenged to some extent. Other than that he is nothing special. Also he is far weaker than Dumbledore even when he was at his peak. There are many other dark wizards that are stronger than him.
Strictly speaking if Jack can reach half of his potential then he would be stronger than Tom riddle. Jack on the side started to get restless because of all the conversation they are having. He could not intervene because Jack did not have a way to kill the basilisk right now.
He can only rely on the luck of the protagonist Harry to solve this problem and steal the end results. For some reason Jack felt that he was a little similar to Gilderoy Lockhart in this matter.
Well he also wants to steal the credit for the actions and adventures of Harry potter. To be precise he is going to steal the results that Harry got with his immense lucky. But he did not care about that process only results matter.
While they are talking Fawkes the phoenix came over to Jack. Even with the invisibility cloak it can still discover Jack because of the scent. Invisibility cloak can make him disappear but the smell is still there.
If a person has super hearing and super smell, he can easily discover Jack. Unfortunately the so called death did not have these things which are very strange to call itself as death. Jack doubts that the self proclaimed death is a dark wizard of some sort from the ancient times.
On the other hand the three brothers are morons that got lured by some things falling into the trap of the death. Jack was sure that there are other hidden stories within the information provided by the history.
Most of the stories where the nobles did good things might not be what they actually are.
Instead they did something horrible and they cover it up with the greatness stories turning the black into white.
There are examples like the real story sleeping beauty and the best example is the mother of Tom riddle. Since Tom riddle became Voldemort and a dark wizard this was not changed into a glorious deed of love story. Well that did not matter. Jack immediately told the phoenix.
"Now go and deliver the hat to Harry quickly."
The phoenix is quite intelligent and it immediately took off going towards Harry. As soon as Harry received the sword Tom riddle summoned the basilisk. Phoenix clawed the eyes of basilisk and then it flew back out of the chamber of secrets.
Jack sighed because the eyes of basilisk can be useful. It is very similar to the eyes of medusa. Unfortunately he did not have a method to kill it without destroying its eyes. Also the eyes of basilisk are very dangerous if he looked at it unexpectedly.
So Jack gave up on the eyes of basilisk. The phoenix did not leave instead it came to the side of Jack. Jack also did not send it away. The moment basilisk lost its eyes Jack slowly walked over into the chamber of secrets.
He made sure that no one noticed Jack. The phoenix was waiting outside for the time being. It comes again to save Harry later. Jack has many uses for Harry and he doesn't want the protagonist to die so easily.
The luck of the protagonist is the best thing to get more opportunities and treasures. All Jack has to do is to send Harry towards the danger and the opportunity would come out on its own.
It is more like Harry is a treasure and opportunity sniffing dog (He is a dog because he is quite loyal) in the hands of Jack. So Harry has to survive this crisis. But the credit has to go to Jack as the owner of the dog. Here is one thing that Jack did not understand.
For some reason this snake type creature basilisk that did not have any ears can actually hear the sounds. Most probably author or the god of this world that is in charge of doing the maintenance work is stupid.
Well it is none of Jack's business of what happens here. All he has to do is to wait for Harry to kill the basilisk. It did not take long Harry and basilisk to go around in circles. After several missed strikes from the blinded Basilisk, it strikes again, right at him this time.
But Harry plunges the sword into the roof of the Basilisk's mouth, killing it. However, one of its poisonous fangs sinks into his arm, injecting a deadly poison. They fell down right beside the still unconscious Ginny and the illusionary image of Tom riddle.
This is the queue when Jack should appear. Because right at that time Ginny would gain her consciousness for a little while. Also Jack plan to kill the soul piece of Tom riddle here and see if there are any benefits from this from the villain system.
Villains are hunted by both protagonists and other villains. At the same time Jack can also gain benefits for defeating, killing and spoiling the plans of both villains and protagonists. There are also heroines and supporting characters.
Everything could give Jack benefits in one way or the other. So he quickened his steps and came to Tom riddle. Then Jack pulled the wand in the hands of Tom riddle. The water is turbulent because of the fall of the basilisk and its death struggle.
So Jack was not noticed by anyone. Jack directly snatched the wand in his hand first and then removed the cloak that is covering him.
