Chapter 496: Herpo the Foul’s Greatest Secret!
Things had stopped making sense for Kai.
The Cartoonist chuckled in his ear, his sharp voice cutting in through the receiver.
"Did it never strike it odd to you, doc?" he asked, mocking. "Did you never question yourself why a wizard, like Herpo the Foul, would create a dark magic like Horcrux, but then also breed a basilisk—the lone beast whose venom can destroy Horcruxes?"
Kai listened, transfixed.
"Herpo the Foul created a Horcrux," the Cartoonist continued, "and the Horcrux was an Inferi.
"Haha! The Inferi then began developing its own consciousness, using Herpo the Foul's soul as the basis.
"The process of Horcrux's creation was in a very crude shape, then. So not even Herpo himself anticipated such a horrible turn of events."
It was as if he could see it happening in front of his eyes.
Kai could tell how much of a threat Herpo the Foul would have found his Horcrux, being sentient, with all of his powers, memories, and potential.
This wasn't a mere threat.
This was a disaster.
