Chapter 87: After a broken heart, a new journey is born

Like a wounded jackal, the "Awoken" rises to its feet and growls maliciously at the little ones it is.

Its slender forelimbs landed on the ground, its strong hind legs slightly up, and it struck a sprint-ready stance, and slammed into the ground, scraping up gravel and dust, showing incredible speed, and running towards David Jones.

Those two keys were the ones it wanted to retriev, it was its instinct as the leader of the third tier.

With this huge body, the "Awakened" ran at an unimaginable speed, passing Bucky and Yarrita in an instant, and was about to come to David Jones.

However, the next moment, it rolled forward in a forward-leaning position and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Well?

David Jones looked over with gray-blue eyes, and saw that the right hindlimb of the "Awakened" was neatly severed, and the section was intact and there was no bloodshed.

A man in a spotted round-brimmed hat stood panting not far away, the long knife "ghost crying" out of its sheath, his fingers hooked, and beside him, it was the severed right hindlimb of the "Awakened".

This man was clearly the same person who had been with Klockdahl before.

David Jones looked at him meaningfully.

Luo's use of "surgery" was originally extremely energy-consuming, and he had been absorbed by the "Awakened" before, but none of this could stop his belief in revenge.

He was full of anger, and he had a chance to put one last "operational" move, and when the "Awakened" was full of Davy Jones, he immediately took action and cut off its right hind limb.

This is the perfect time to kill the "Awoken"!

Law looked at David Jones, and his eyes had already told David Jones what he wanted David Jones to do.

David Jones didn't have a reason to let his prey go.

His wings fluttered, and he stabbed the "Awakened" skull like a blade, shattering it once again with the color of his armament.

The "Awakened", who had lost a leg, was already unable to move, and before he could get up and turn, he was knocked down by the blow again, and lay diagonally on the shattered ground.

David Jones stands amidst the exuberant fur of the "Awakened".

Its pupils were wide open, and it watched as the man plunged a black scepter into a place it couldn't see—its brain.

This is the second time that David Jones has destroyed the brains of the "Awakened".

This time, however, it struggled briefly, reaching for its claws beside David Jones, and before it could close it, it fell feebly to the ground.

The "Awakened" are completely dead.

For David Jones, the ability to "awaken and reborn" is nothing more than a giant monster that will go through two near-death experiences.

Seeing that the "Awakened" did not move again, Luo only half-knelt on the ground.

He looked at the "ghost cry" in his hand with a dull look.

For a moment, he wanted to turn the tip of the knife and stab himself in the chest without "operating......

But as soon as you close your eyes, you can see the smiling face that belongs to Don Quixote Rosinandi, which is ugly, but it cannot be forgotten.

Luo lowered his head, pressed "Ghost Cry" to the ground, and calmed down in silence.

He can't die yet, and he has an enemy that must be dealt with.

David Jones obtained two loot from the Awoken, both of which were stored in the Awoken's body, a turquoise serpentine ring and the last key, the Blue Key.

Since then, the three keys have been gathered, and all that remains is to find the gate on the top floor.

David Jones put the three keys away.

He only rubbed the "Long Serpent Ring" once, and he realized that it could make the wielder move more flexibly and faster than before.

So, he threw up the "Long Snake Ring" and landed in front of Chloe, who hurriedly reached out to catch it.

Chloe didn't say much, just bowed to David Jones, who had already set off for the third floor, and then silently threaded the "Long Snake Ring" with a rope and hung it around his neck.

He held the injured Hachi, so Bucky had to reluctantly drag Klockdahl away, and the captain wouldn't let Klockdahl die so easily.

Rowe looked up as David Jones and his gang departed, never bothering to talk to him, never asking who he was or why he was here.

David Jones didn't care about him, and the crew was even less likely to pay attention to him.

The third layer is a cave-like area, but after the loss of the "Awakened", all the monsters in this place are scattered.

David Jones and his gang came to a gate unhindered.

Sure enough, as depicted in the mural, there is a stone slab in front of the gate with keyholes that resemble a clover.

David Jones handed the three keys to Jarrita, who took them, stepped forward, and set them on the stone slab.

A dead silence was followed by a loud rumbling bang.

The door, which had been closed for an unknown number of years, opened, and the dust was flying, revealing a deep darkness.

In the depths of the darkness, which had been quiet, there was the sound of porphyr, porphyr's heartbeat.

The injured Hachi and the unconscious Klockdahl were placed in the doorway, and the rest of the crew slowly walked inside.

When they looked up, they saw a gray, corrupted heart suspended in mid-air, as if it had been dead for a long time, but it was beating inexplicably.

With every step the crew took forward, they felt palpitations.

It only took a dozen steps forward before Bucky and Mikita were forced to stop, clutch their hearts, and half-kneel on the ground.

Arrita and Chloe turned their heads to look at them, and they also felt palpitations, as if they were going to go into sudden arrest in the next moment.

But they all chose to borrow the power from the Terror Ghost, and barely carried more than twenty steps, so they couldn't move forward.

Only David Jones, whose armed color was both a sharp spear and a strong shield, resisted this palpitation.

However, he did not rush to the "Corrupted Heart", but only stretched out his tentacles, grabbed Klockdal at the door, and placed himself in front of him as another layer of shield.

Sure enough, the Corrupted Heart unleashed its invisible power toward Klockdahl, which was closest to it.

Just in the blink of an eye, Klockdahl's whole body seemed to be sucked dry by his own ability, his face was bloodless, and his head hung down in a pale and feeble manner.

David Jones glanced at Crocodall's tragic condition and nodded.

"I forgive you."

David Jones threw the debilitated Klockdahl behind him and threw a punch into the heart!

This time, his fist did not touch the heart itself, but the domineering energy turned into a real attack, released from the fist, and bombarded the heart like a cannonball.

His armed color once again broke through the bottleneck and reached the point of being released from inside and outside!

However, this domineering spirit, which should have been able to penetrate the heart, was weakened by the defense of the surface of the "Corrupted Heart", at the cost of the explosion of the left atrium.

David Jones stared at the Corrupted Heart, and the look made him notice that its right atrium, left ventricle, and right ventricle were also strange, and he realized that the Corrupted Heart actually had four lives.

Another invisible shockwave hit, and David Jones, with his keen sight, teleported to dodge.

The armed-colored scepter struck directly into the right atrium, and it exploded.

"Two more lives."

David Jones did the same, teleporting to dodge the shockwave, then kicked the heart with his armed legs, shattering the left ventricle of the heart.

"One more life."

Countless black stars converged at the top of the Corrupted Heart, raining down on David Jones like arrows.

However, it still couldn't stop David Jones's teleportation, he had flashed to the front of the heart, and more than a dozen tentacles shot out, straight into the "Corrupted Heart", ripping away its gray flesh.

Davy Jones's hand reached in, grabbed a small, beating heart, pulled it out, and plucked all the blood that was attached to it.

The Heart of Corruption loses its core and quickly recess inwards and shriveles.

Losing its levitation power, it smashed to the ground, looking like a rotten and moldy persimmon.

And David Jones pinched the small heart, feeling the agitation in it slowly weakening, and some indescribable power poured into David Jones's body like water.

The little heart died, but David Jones got a stronger heart as a result, and some of its abilities transitioned to David Jones's heart.

The entire spire monster was connected to the little heart, and its death was telepathically transmitted to every monster that was still alive, and they even knew who had died at the hands of the heart.

The heart is like the queen bee in the hive, and its death causes the monsters to fall into panic and confusion, and the spire soon becomes turbulent.

Some of the monsters were frightened, hidden, and shrank into the shadows of the spires, shivering.

Some are killing each other, and there is no previous order to speak of.

Without the Heart of Corruption, the top of the spire will open in a few hours, but it will be an island in the middle of the sea on all sides.

David Jones didn't care about any of that, he turned in the darkness and reaped the sweet rain of fear.
