Chapter 144: The Endless Staircase

Twilight leaned against the wall, breathing deeply, the vivid clowns gaping their bloody mouths, their blood-coated red lips smiling wildly, smirking and creeping.

Twilight is about to flee when her calf is bitten by the Joker, and her sharp teeth bite down, and the spiky teeth seep directly into the skin.

Twilight gasped, pain coming from her calf, and she ripped off a piece of blood-drenched flesh. With a slash, the clown's body is extremely flexible, its mouth has been curved, and under it is a spring, and it jumps violently, and its figure flashes, dodging Twilight's attack.

Twilight's hands continue to form barriers, and transparent light curtains shroud her eyes, blocking the Joker's attacks.

"Hee-hee-hee." The horrified laughter seemed to say that you can't escape.

The clown seemed to have no offensive power, but its speed could turn into a thin line that flashed in front of its eyes, and "bang-" an enchantment disappeared like an illusory water shadow.

The Joker suddenly spits out a scarlet tongue, sticky blood mixed with foul-smelling saliva, "Whoosh-" Slippery tongue licks at Twilight's face, her hand flips sideways and slashes off.

The tongue fell to the ground like a twisted snake, and struggled a few times.

"Ahh

It constantly throws red bombs from its hands, and when it lands on the ground, it explodes into black mushroom clouds.

A round bomb is thrown at Twilight, the blade slashing through the middle, and the ball is split in half. At this moment, an even more exaggerated scene occurred, and several bombs fell from the sky above Twilight, and round bombs fell.

Twilight's figure weaves back and forth into an afterimage, and she deftly dodges the mushroom cloud.

The Joker's mouth grinned wider, scarlet blood filling its mouth, and Twilight's leg was injured and she couldn't move quickly.

As the Joker's face approached Twilight, an ice ridge pierced the clown's back, and hot blood poured on the ice ridge and swirled around the steaming heat, and its constant laughter and screams drew Shikazawa.

Lu Ze's body was covered with large and small scars, the black robe embroidered with dark gold lines had many burnt holes, it was pitch black, his ears were dried with blood, and his hearing was slightly damaged.

The clown's head was pulled downward, and his huge eyes burst out, and he didn't forget to laugh when he died. "Hee-hee-" The laughter startled Twilight into thinking it was alive again.

Twilight instinctively leaps backwards until its severed throat hangs from its body in an eerie position, and all the bones that connect its neck to its body are broken, leaving only a thin layer of wing-like skin to connect it.

After a life-and-death struggle, Twilight's body was covered in blood, she clenched her teeth, her hair was scattered to the side, her red-white robe was dark brown, and her legs and elbows were covered in blood, revealing snow-white skin on her legs and elbows.

"It seems that the next step is not so easy. The Vanishing Maiden and Hera should be one floor below. Twilight gasped slightly, her green eyes blinking in the darkness as she clenched the saber at her waist.

"There's something wrong with this step, it's an endless loop. You can't crack it, you can only be trapped in it forever. It seems that Arsen is also separated from you. Lu Ze sat on the steps, consuming a lot of body and a dry mouth, he didn't expect that there was such a large area of buildings hidden under the dungeon.

The two of them decided to move on after a moment's pause, Twilight's fingers tingling constantly, and she was able to use a healing technique that would otherwise collapse completely. For them, mental exhaustion is the greatest trauma.

Shikazawa found the lowest point of the entire staircase, and thrust it into it with the help of a wrapping blade, and after the white light flashed, a stone wall slowly emerged and finally disappeared, and the isolated steps were connected together again.

As they walked, they saw a few cards embedded in the wall, and Twilight was excited, "Looks like Asen is trapped here." ”

Twilight quickened the pace of her feet, the abilities in their bodies were not endless, and when they exceeded the upper limit of their mental power, the abilities on their bodies would automatically dormant.

Twilight and Shikazawa seemed to have surpassed their limits, and at the end of the stairs they saw Asen, whose hat had been split in half, and he was slumped against the ground, his mouth constantly spitting out strange things.

"Under ...... I did my best under it. Arsen pricked up his ears and didn't have the strength to speak.

A cluster of fire formed in Twilight's fingertips, and she slowly approached the wall, which was a nine-square grid of eight puzzle pieces, and this puzzle was supposed to be the code to open the door.

The patterns on the puzzle are blurred, and a little shadow can be vaguely seen after being eroded by the years, what kind of pattern can be composed of complex patterns?

Twilight's hand struggled to move the stone bricks on it, and the uneven stone bricks finally formed a complete pattern as Twilight adjusted them, and an intricately carved portrait appeared in front of her eyes.

The eight puzzles show a shield surrounded by blooming roses.

In the next second, the stone wall continued to tremble, and the thin slit on the left slowly expanded, and gradually the door was opened. A brightly lit corridor appeared in front of you.

Twilight stepped in without the slightest hesitation, and when she stepped in, all she saw was a passage lit with a few lights, and the old stone walls were carved with intricate patterns that were customary in the castle of Otaku Academy.

Twilight continued deeper and deeper into the passage, turning and moving on, the lights getting brighter and brighter, and she began to walk cautiously down the passage, her eyes drawn to the light beneath the passage.

Overlooking from a high place, there are a total of eight passages leading to the disc in the middle, the suspended passage hangs high, leans down and looks down, unfathomable, the slightest accidental fall, then there is only the end of broken bones.

Twilight watched in the direction each passage leads, and at the end of each of the eight passages there are arched gates. Twilight's movements grew lighter and lighter, and she put her index finger to her lips, "Shhh He moved softly with broken steps.

Arsen jumped on the chains in the passage, his soft feet on the chains without making a sound.

The sound of Suo Suo kept coming from afar, and Twilight looked up and jumped straight on the chain in the distance, her hand firmly grasping the chain at the top.

Lu Ze was faster, he lay on the wall, stabbed the wall with his sword, like a gecko lying on the stone wall, they were afraid that they would alarm others again, and they would inevitably have another fierce battle.

Soso's voice faded away, and Twilight's eyes kept looking in the direction where the voice had disappeared. Her body somersaulted in the air, and her toes hit the ground, half-squatting, pulling on the wound on her calf, and she couldn't help but bare her teeth.

"The Fourth Gate!" Shikazawa's voice was very soft, and he stood beside Twilight and looked at the door in the distance.

"If I'm not mistaken, every door opened is a feast for the eyes, or a shock." Twilight takes a deep breath, and the vanished girl is about to open the puzzle. What is hidden behind the eight doors, and what secrets are hidden in this endless underground, in the city of darkness?

The shield on the puzzle represents protection, and the more mysterious something is, the more it can arouse human curiosity.

Twilight walked down step by step, and the moment she pushed the door open, she was completely dumbfounded, attracted by the girl in front of her.

In the dark hall, a bewitching girl was suspended in the air, her skin wrapped in a layer of black armor, which was divided into small pieces according to the lines of her body muscles, exposing her most perfect curves.

Her hair fluttered in the air, and she held a sharp sword in her hand, which shone white in the light of the fire, and she was like a goddess of war, and the expression on her face did not allow anyone to desecrate.

To Twilight's incomprehension, her limbs were chained to handcuffs, ankles, black chains, and a necklace of four stone pillars around her.

The whole hall was depressed because of the girl in front of her, and there was a majesty erected invisibly, so that people could not step in.

Immediately after, the sound of the iron chains and stone pillars tearing and pulling continued to sound, "Bang bang-" The girl in front of her opened her eyes suddenly.

The sword in her hand flew straight towards Twilight, and she jerked it, breaking free of the anklets in her hand. The girl who had been suppressed for a long time seemed to have a charming smile on her face.

Her toes touched the ground, the chains at her ankles slammed into the ground, and she looked at Twilight and Shikazawa as if they were looking at an ant, teasing and disdainful.

The moment she pulled out the chains, the four stone pillars behind her bloomed with a strange light, and the lines engraved on them flickered for a moment and immediately dimmed.

Just as Twilight was looking at the stone pillar distractedly, a crisp voice sounded, "Don't look at it, take a good look at your little life." ”

In her hands, pink flowers continued to conjure, the petals were five-petaled, and the seemingly non-offensive flowers turned into five-petal petals and stabbed at her in an instant.

Twilight's form flashed, her hands interlaced and she gestured, and she condensed into a large rectangular light curtain, and something she didn't expect happened.

All the petals passed through the light curtain like a phantom, and when they hit her body, they were like imprints, hurting into the bones, and each time they were hit, there was a piercing pain.

"Hee-hee, are you scared?" The girl's light and breezy appearance invisibly put huge pressure on them.

Twilight's consciousness gradually became unconscious, and she bit down on the tip of her tongue, a fishy sweetness filling the tongue coating. Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Three to one, it may not be me who loses." ”

Ice flowers gradually grew under Shikazawa's feet, spreading ice slag covering the entire hall at a lightning speed, and at this moment, Shikazawa's knees fell directly to the ground.

"At this moment, who won the hell?" The corners of Shikazawa's mouth lifted slightly.

Countless ice flowers climbed the stone pillars, and Lu Ze's eyes had been observing the qiē here since he stepped in, and it was not until the moment the girl woke up, the moment he opened his eyes, and the moment the four stone pillars lit up at the same time, he didn't notice the cattiness in it.
