Chapter 87 The top floor
Without any hindrance, Starmark had already walked out of the passage and reached the top floor. When he saw the scene on the top floor, Starmark, who had already been prepared, couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds. Not because there are too many blames on the top floor, but too little...
The top floor of the bell tower is not like the previous floors, there is a lot of space, and the area here is only about 100 meters in diameter, so even an ordinary person can see the whole place at a glance. An Lun had predicted before that there would not be many bell monsters on the top floor, but I'm afraid An Lun would not have thought that there would be so few bell monsters on the top floor, and there would only be one less!
That's right, it's just one, a very ordinary bell monster, and it looks like any other bell monster. The only difference is that there is a seven-colored halo behind it at this time, and at first glance it still has a bit of a sacred taste.
"This is the one that fuses the heart of the clock?" Starmark decided at a glance that this bell monster was the one that fused with the heart of the clock, and from the information he received, this one seemed to match.
"Humans?"
At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out, echoing in this small space, and the sound did not seem to come from the bell monster, but from the surrounding walls. Starmark has seen many bell monsters before, whether it is this ordinary bell monster or the ancient bell demon, it is easy to guess that this bell monster should be fused with the heart of the clock, so it can talk to Starmark through the bell tower.
"Humanโ" The voice sounded again, but this time Starmark heard a different smell from the previous one. If the first sentence of "human" is that the other party has some doubts, then the latter sentence contains a kind of disappointment and a kind of regret.
This made Starmark feel very strange, and he didn't know why the bell monster would express such emotions, and this strange feeling even made Starmark unable to attribute the other party's actions to stalling for time.
"Why?, scared?" Starmark said, closing in on the bell monster step by step. Although the heart of the clock is in front of him, the cautious star mark will never rush forward, this is the experience he summed up as a thief.
"Fallen race, you have decayed..."The bell monster's voice came again.
"Fallen, rotten?" Starmark laughed, "We rot, at least we won't rust with a little water." โ
A sigh came, "Hey... Poor race, you have been utterly lost. Just as the bell was finishing, Starmark suddenly felt the ground shake, and at the same time, with the cracking sound of "click", a large number of cracks appeared in the surrounding walls.
"Not good!" Starmark's eyes froze, and he didn't care about being more cautious, and immediately put his foot on his feet and went straight to the bell monster, although he didn't know what was happening, but at this time he had to choose to kill him as soon as possible.
At the speed of the star mark, the distance of tens of meters is instantaneous. The black mist lingered in his hand, and the pitch-black claws had already been used, and he went straight to the dial of the bell monster's chest and grabbed it. For humans, Star Scars will never directly kill them, but for this kind of metal bump, he naturally will not have half a point of mercy.
However, when he saw that the pitch-black claw was about to grasp the body of the bell monster, Starmark's heart suddenly jumped, and a sense of danger instantly hit Starmark's body. This instinctive sense of crisis caused Starmark's hand, which was about to destroy the Bell Monster's body, to suddenly retract it, and at the same time, the body turned around in the air and quickly retreated.
At this moment, two sharp steel thorns appeared right in front of the star mark, and if the star mark insisted on attacking the bell monster just now, the body would have been pierced by these two steel thorns.
Seeing those two steel thorns, Xingji was also afraid for a while, and his heart was cold. He didn't realize where the two steel spikes were shot from, and if it weren't for a keen sense of crisis, his life would have been over. When he looked at the bell monster again, Starmark became more vigilant, and he began to circle around the bell monster, not daring to rush forward again.
The tremors grew stronger, and with the tremors, a roar of explosions began to emerge all around. In an instant, the four walls of the bell tower began to explode, and a large amount of stone shattered, and the ashes they burst were like a hurricane, and the entire floor was swept away in an instant.
Starmark hurriedly held his breath while protecting his vital point with his hands, at this moment, he couldn't open his eyes at all, he could only sense the surroundings as much as possible, and at the same time make the most basic defensive movements, and at the same time, the gloves he got from the mysterious master were already on his hands.
The blasting and roaring continued for half a minute before it gradually subsided. As the blasting stopped, the dust from the stone gradually fell to the ground.
Starmark breathed a sigh of relief that he hadn't been attacked during this time. However, when he opened his eyes, he was stunned. I saw that the entire top floor was not blown by the stone, causing everything to be covered with dust. On the contrary, it is much brighter than the original, not because there is no dust, but because the walls are too bright.
When the stone is peeled away, the four walls reveal a different scene. In addition to the metal lines, the entire top of the wall is also crudely carved with many frescoes. It's just that this mural is not only very old, it is damaged in many places, and the carved lines are also very blurry and simple. Starmark could only faintly see that there were bell monsters on the mural, there were ancient bell demons, and there were many huge bell monsters that Starmark had not seen before, and what they were fighting against, but it was very blurry and impossible to see.
"Is this the scene they had fought against us in the first place?" Starmark could only confirm through the presence of some human limbs that it was supposed to depict a great battle between humans and bell monsters. Starmark turned his head to look at the bell monster, only to see that it was also raising its head, but instead of looking, it seemed to be remembering something, and its body trembled incessantly.
Starmark could feel it, and the trembling was definitely not due to fear, but to anger. Immediately afterward, a sound similar to the ringing of a bell rang out, so loud that it permeated all the floors of the bell tower.
Meanwhile, on the next level, the bells were trying to remove the copper plate that occupied the entrance to the passageway, but when they heard the call, they stopped. The next moment, countless bells rang at the same time, as if in response to their king. In an instant, these voices converged into a loud bang and burst out.
"There is only the best quiet in the world, and there is a quiet An Lun like a fast treasure... Mom!" An Lun, who was humming a little song, was so frightened by the sudden sound of the huge bell that he slid straight off his seat and fell to the ground.
"What a sound, what a sound!Ban Ban, quickly block this sound!" An Lun covered his ears and shouted in panic, however, his voice copper plate could not be received at all, completely muffled by the loud sound of the bell.
The sound of the bell does not only echo in the bell tower, but also breaks through the blockade of the bell tower. At this moment, the whole of Elpalan was drowned out by the sound of bells. The deafening sound of the bell caused the ordinary residents of Alpalan to cover their ears one by one and cry out for help in panic, even those adventurers with some occult power were all shocked and used their occult power to protect themselves. Everyone at this moment looked at the source of the sound, the bell tower. Suddenly, people were panicked, chickens and dogs barked, and children's cries became one. At this moment, even if the state wants to hide it, it is useless, everyone understands that there is something wrong with the bell tower!
Gregor raised his head and looked at the bell tower, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he grabbed his guards suddenly, and said sharply: "Command to go down and tell all the inhabitants and adventurers who are still in Alpalan to leave." Pass my orders to the Demon Slayer and carry out the predetermined plan!"
"Regiment... Head... Time, time hasn't come yet..."The guard also looked a little flustered at this time.
"Don't talk nonsense, go and pass on my orders, and those who violate military law will be dealt with!"
......
Star Scar didn't know the situation outside, and even if he knew, he didn't have the heart to care about it at this time, there was something even more tricky in front of him! At this time, the bell monster in front of Star Scar was undergoing earth-shaking changes!
The Bell Monster's body was covered by a large amount of metal, but it didn't look like it was crushed underneath a collapsed building, and it was like a metal cocoon with a bell ringing from within. Along with the chime, the metal covering the body also shines again and again with the rhythm of the bell.
"Can't wait any longer!" Starmark knew that he didn't have time to think about tactics, and although he didn't care what the other party was doing, at least he would definitely not do anything to his advantage. And Starmark had a hunch that he had to interrupt what the bell monster was doing, or the consequences would be unimaginable!
Time was no longer enough for Starmark to think about, he immediately deceived himself, and at the same time, his right hand was already surrounded by black mist, and a black ghost claw half a meter long loomed on Starmark's right hand. This is the pitch-black claw, and it is also the pitch-black claw used by Starmark to fully urge the occult force for the first time in so many years.
Compared with the past, there is only a layer of black fog covered, the pitch-black claw at this time is obviously more powerful, the black ghost claw, just a glance makes people have a creepy feeling, the rich black fog surrounds the ghost claw, the sound of ghost crying surrounds the surroundings, the scene is like a devil who has killed countless people, surrounded by unjust souls.
In an instant, Starmark had already arrived in front of the Cocoon, and the ghost claws slammed into the huge body of the metal Cocoon, accompanied by a terrible howl, the roar exploded, and the floor shook violently. At this moment, the wailing voices of countless unjust souls echoed through the floor, and black mist and metal fragments burst out from the bell monster's body. The violent fluctuations pushed the starmark's body backwards, and this blow to the pitch-black claw starmark hit very strongly, which can be said to exert his strongest power to this day, but his expression not only did not relax, but became more solemn, because in his ears, the bell was still ringing!
