Common sense told Xiuge that the terrible sound and vibration just now was probably not caused by the ringing of the bell at all.

Judging by the magnitude of the tremor, it was more like some kind of amazing explosion, or something......

Xiuge couldn't be sure what was going on, but he could feel that the panic that had been suppressed in his heart before was completely released along with the terrifying vibration and sound, and this time, Xiuge could completely feel the strong sense of crisis transmitted along the narrow and closed underground waterway in front of him, as if all the fears accumulated in the depths of his memory had been forcibly excavated at this moment, and when these emotions were displayed in his mind in turn, he could not help but tremble.

Shug's guess was right.

In the central square of the city of Seren, the towering bell tower, which had witnessed the stability of nearly three hundred years, suddenly trembled after the eightieth bell rang, and almost everyone caught the strange tremor, but before they could react, a tremor from under the ground accompanied by a tremor that almost tore the sky acted on the very center of the square.

The convoy that had already entered the square immediately stopped, and the enforcers of the Dharma, who were guarding the surrounding area, held their breath, because they found that the magic path pendulum they were carrying with them was shaking wildly in an extremely abnormal state at this time, and their shaking posture and frequency were so strange that those pendulums shaped by magic crystals did not seem to capture the fluctuations of magic power at all, but more like they were being pulled in different directions by a transparent palm.

However, before people could take the next step, more changes took place.

Another terrifying explosion came.

Just as the legend has it that the huge volcano in the cold north erupted, the entire central square, or rather, the entire city of Salem "jumped".

The protective ritual field set up by the Legislature Committee alone near the bell tower suffered the most brutal impact in the world, and the incomparably reliable protective force completely collapsed in an instant, and the casters responsible for monitoring and maintaining the ritual collapsed to the ground in the symptoms caused by the broken mana, and let out a painful wail.

"Clock Tower! Bell Tower!"

In the chaos, someone shouted, and more people raised their heads to look in the direction of the bell tower, and in the next moment, almost everyone at the scene witnessed the extremely shocking scene.

The ancient, massive central bell tower began to shake violently, and then it fell into the plaza like a block kicked by a urchin, mixed with a large amount of dust and pieces of masonry.

Prince and Princess Havid, seated in the car, witnessed this, as did Putrin and his companions, who were hiding on the edge of the chaotic crowd.

Although Putlin and the others had been told that a "magnificent scene" would happen in the city of Salem today beyond ordinary people's imagination, when all this really happened in front of the eyes of these hot-blooded young people, they still couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

However, the collapse of the bell tower was still only the beginning.

The violent shaking made it difficult for people to stand still, and the panic caused people to panic, and scattered bricks and stones fell into the crowd like arrows and cannonballs..........

Putrin and his young companions nervously hid in the pre-selected shop, and they were surprised to find that the emblem that the middle-aged scholar had given to himself and the others before setting off had shown an amazing magical effect at this moment, a translucent "shield" that emitted a gray-white light acted on their bodies, whether it was dust or gravel, and even other people who accidentally bumped into them during the run could not affect them in the slightest.

They looked at each other, then simultaneously reached into their own pockets and grasped the weapons they had prepared.

It was a crystalline gun, or a new type of firearm similar to a crystalline gun.

It has extremely sophisticated mechanics, special metal bullets, and intricate strange runes etched into the barrel of the gun.

"Just a few of us, plus a few guns like this...... Can it be done?"

Putling breathed heavily, the question again

Once it came to his mind.

However, the moment the thought flashed, the emblem on their chests and arms began to glow faintly, and the momentary hesitation and confusion were completely erased by the power of magic.

"When the smoke clears, you can go."

That's how the middle-aged man explained.

So Putrin and his companions walked out of the shop and ran through the dust to the other end of the square.

……

The location of the bell tower is now an exaggerated crater that seems to lead to the ground and is only connected to the aqueduct system buried beneath the city of Seren...... It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Under the current circumstances, the armistice celebrations could only be stopped, but the chaos in the city seriously affected the speed of the evacuation of the VIPs, and Prince and Princess Havid sat nervously in their well-protected vehicles, and began to slowly evacuate towards the way they came, under the protection and protection of the guards and soldiers.

The surroundings were so chaotic, countless people were hurt by the disaster, and countless civilians fainted on the spot from panic and fear, and now everyone here was trying their best to get away from what was once the central square, pushing and screaming in order to get to safety as soon as possible, not listening to anyone else, and not having time to trample on anyone else's feet.

In this case, the prince's convoy, which occupied the main road, became the biggest obstacle, with soldiers, police officers, and the prince's personal guards doing their best to stop the civilians who were forced to approach the convoy, and some of the mages even tried to use magic to separate the chaotic crowd, but the more they did so, the more chaos on the road intensified, and the slower the convoy moved.

"That's enough!"

Prince Havid, seeing the chaos in his eyes, glanced around through the car window, and then roared angrily, "Tighten the line and let those civilians pass!"

"Your Highness?"

"Listen to me! Otherwise, we'll just be delayed here longer!"

The river valley mage guards in the car gritted their teeth, but he also knew that the prince's judgment was not wrong at this time, so he immediately conveyed the order, so the guards who were fighting against the chaotic crowd immediately began to retreat steadily, and the magic used by the casters to forcibly separate the crowd was also removed. ….

The chaos in the streets was immediately alleviated to a considerable extent, and some of the poor people who had been trampled to the ground were finally rescued by others......

There were faint signs of order returning, and it was confined to this area, but it was enough to reassure a little.

The young princess clutched her husband's hand worriedly: "Honey, we are in danger now."

"Their situation is more dangerous than ours."

Prince Havid whispered, "And if these people don't come to their senses, we won't be able to get out, and if we leave this car, our own lives will be lost."

"I listen to you."

The princess nodded, and she turned uneasily to look at the square behind the car, only to see that there was also a mess, and there were constantly people running out of it with dirty faces or bloodstains, or cooperating to carry the wounded out.

She saw a few young men running out against the edge of the square, they looked equally nervous, and they had chosen the widest, yet most chaotic, path of the most.

Then, her gaze turned to the building next to her, only to see the second-floor window of a certain shop being pushed open, and then a figure holding a long-tube crystallizer leaned out of it......

"Harvid!"

She instinctively exclaimed, but before the sound could fall, loud gunshots rang out from all directions.

Almost instantly, many of the protective rituals engraved in the luxury vehicle were triggered, and layers of magical light and shadow lit up on the body, so that the first round of crystallized bullets fired from different angles turned into useless shreds even in the face of this layer of protection, as the mage guard had previously introduced, the shooting of the crystallized guns could not cause Ren at all

No matter how effective it is, under tight defense, these weapons that can easily penetrate steel and shatter the human body can only create riots and noises.

The guards' counterattack immediately began, and the gunmen, dressed as merchants, civilians, and even guards, suffered massive damage, while the images of their bodies, limbs, and even heads bursting open caused a new wave of panic, and this time the crowd riot could no longer be contained.

No one noticed that in the midst of the extremely chaotic crowd, several figures clad in magical protective light were struggling to move in the direction of the vehicle, and finally, several young men dressed in the traditional costumes of the Kingdom of Teresa squeezed out of the crowd, and at the first moment they appeared, they took out the weapon in the shape of a handcuff and pulled the trigger on the vehicle.

The moment he pulled the trigger, Putlin felt that time had stood still.

He felt as if his breath, his blood, all his thoughts had been poured into the gun in his hand—as if there was a huge vortex there that wanted to swallow everything he had, and the bullets that flew out of the muzzle of the gun became the condensation of all this.

With a dark glow, the bullet easily pierced through the huge silver shield of the strong guard's hand, and then burrowed into his chest, so that the gray energy attached to the bullet eroded and devoured all the life of the loyal guard in an instant, after that, the bullet continued to fly forward, and all the magical protection rituals that had been set up seemed to be useless in front of it, and even the secret instrument installed in the vehicle was disordered and failed under the strange influence..........

So, the bullet finally hit the transparent car window.

Like a vicious kiss thrown by a demon from the abyss.

Blood spread through the broken windows, and the women's cries and screams tore the air apart, but several more bullets came out of the guns in the hands of the youths, and with the last bullet, Putlin was surprised to find that his strong arm seemed to have become shriveled, his strength began to run, and his soul seemed to be called out of his body by some distant and strange voice.

He could no longer hold the weapon in his hand.

The moment he let go, the protective ritual that had shrouded him finally collapsed, and Putlin fell to the ground like all his companions under the charge of an angry soldier, and he heard the sound of bones shattering in his body, but he no longer felt any pain.

At this moment, this young, impulsive and enthusiastic young man finally realized that the moment he pulled the trigger, he seemed to have given his future and life......

"Is this really what I want? What did I do?"

In a flash of lucidity, this thought popped up, but before he could think carefully, the chaotic sounds around him had already run over like ocean waves, so the last trace of his consciousness completely disappeared into this oppressive darkness.

Prince Havide died.

With the wife you love the most.

The special bullet that pierced the magical ritual managed to burrow into the prince's and princess's bodies, and the dark power that existed within quickly robbed them of their life, causing their bodies to become shriveled and thin in an instant, like dried corpses in the desert.

The mage's guard, who was in charge of keeping the prince safe, was completely sluggish, and his brain, which had stored countless magical knowledge and actual combat experience, was completely blank, but at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the center of the clock tower square.

Sharp, short, and irregular.

It's like the shrill whistle of a gust of wind through tiny crevices and holes......

So he raised his head and looked in the direction of the square.

I saw that in the cloud of smoke and dust that had begun to gradually dissipate, there seemed to be a huge black shadow swaying back and forth, it looked as if it had been "drilled" out of the ground of the square, it looked like smoke, and it seemed like a flowing liquid, and as the strange shadow continued to change, the piercing sound came one after another.

Compared to the blur that people see from afar

The sight, which was seen by the soldiers and the Legislators who had stayed within the confines of the square, was even more terrifying, as they saw the shadow hidden under the crack in the ground descending the crater to the ground little by little.

They were flowing and wriggling, and some of the casters who were a little closer could see that in the disgusting black viscous liquid there were even many blurred debris and shadows wrapped and floating, which seemed to be something that existed in the sewers.

The bodies of rats and snakes, filthy filth, the remains of human bodies......

All the filthy beings that any living person instinctively loathes seem to be gathered in this filthy black goo.
