One hundred and eighty-nine. Outbreak

Spiral Hall.

The wide stone staircase spirals downward.

The passages leading to the branch lines on each level are like holes left by moths in the abyss, with tiny beings walking through them.

One of the three silhouettes wearing uniforms is one of them. If you get closer, you will hear a rapid gurgling sound under the dark uniforms.

"Throw away the counter. Knight Vino, keep yours."

Captain Hoggart took off his counter, and he and his knights leaned against the edge of the stone railing and threw them down into the dark abyss.

"Apprentice knight, you are too nervous, relax." Captain Hoggart said as he continued down a distance and saw the trembling palms of the slaves retracting their uniforms.

"Yes! Captain Hoggart!"

The servant stopped, his body under the uniform was straightened, and his voice became louder unconsciously.

"erlo yy!"

Sharp shouts suddenly sounded along with rapid footsteps, and two monsters rushed towards them carrying the bound monsters.

Chi

In the roaring exhaust sound, Knight Vino's uniform stirred, revealing the color of cold steel.

"Stand still and don't do anything."

Captain Hoggart stopped them in a low voice and stood there, watching as they rushed to the edge of the stone fence in front of them and threw the monsters struggling in the restraints into the abyss.

The sound of breaking through the air disappeared instantly, and they still stayed in front of the stone fence.

They soon saw a few afterimages of the two monsters being "vomited" out by the abyss, and the monsters waiting to catch them.

There were several unidentifiable tibias, and the weird emotion holding them became discouraged, grumbled vaguely, threw the bones back into the abyss, and turned away.

Captain Hoggart frowned and turned back. A strange creature was picking up something where they had thrown away the counter.

"Keep moving."

Each circle of the spiral hall represents a floor.

They could see the depths stretching into the dark abyss, and they could see the first six levels above.

Passing between the seventh and eighth floors, when he was very close to the target, a vibration from the depths of the earth suddenly came from the steps under his feet.

The gravel trembled and dust rose up. They on the seventh floor stopped at the same time as the strange surroundings, looking for the source of the vibration.

Bang!

The tremors suddenly intensified with the loud noise, and lava spurted out from the cracks in the rock wall.

A pitiful monster stood in front of the crack, howling briefly and pitifully as it was submerged in the hot and sticky magma.

Knight Vino stepped forward and stood in front of captain Hoggart and the knights, blocking their sight and blocking the gravel flying like arrows.

The red-hot stones tore through the uniforms and clanged against the steam armor, leaving dented white marks.

Bang!

Another stream of magma spewed out from the birth fissure.

The weird ones screamed and fled in all directions, swarming back into the ant nest like ants.

"keep going!"

Captain Hoggart roared, and Knight Vino ran down under cover.

At this moment, in the center of the chaos, several figures appeared in the spiral hall on the eighth floor.

"It's here with me!"

Hoarse shouts rang out from among them, and a charred silhouette held up an insignificant wooden box, displaying it to all the chasing monsters, and crashed into the eighth floor branch line.

The other two figures turned around and ran upwards.

Most of the chasing monsters dispersed and chased them, but there were still some who chased them.

"If you don't want to leave, then turn it into a sacrifice to my lord!"

The figure in the black robe stopped, pulled off his uniform, roared fervently, and exploded like a shadow, swallowing up all the pursuers.

"That's Lu Li."

The knight knight couldn't help shouting as he stared at the lonely and upward figure in the windbreaker.

Tremors came from the soles of the feet again, and unparalleled violent shaking spread throughout the spiral hall, like resurrected ancient giants fighting underground.

All those who were still in the spiral hall could not stand firm and fell down one after another. They also fell to the ground. Even Lu Li who ran up to the upper floor fell to the ground.

Falling rocks and dust obscured their vision, and the ubiquitous shouts and tremors made them ignore the approaching death.

The shadow disappeared in an instant. A huge boulder like a house smashed down the steps where Captain Hoggart and his subordinates were standing. The fierce wind sweeping the dust blew away the remaining uniforms on the metal armor.

"team leader!"

The exhaust steam blew away the dust, and there was no trace of the soldiers. Captain Hoggart was half-buried under the rock, weakly complaining.

Knight Vino knelt on one knee in front of him, listening carefully to the whispers that were almost buried in the chaos.

"Protect Lu Li...take him...back..."

The fire of life disappeared from Captain Hoggart's flowing eyes.

Knight Vino clenched his iron fist and turned to face the collapsed eighth floor.



Lu Li adapted to the non-stop trembling and climbed up the steps.

The Spiral Hall is crumbling, the steam silhouettes looking like a madman trying to destroy the old sewers.

But now, Ophelia has lured Weird away, Bishop Jon is behind him, and Lu Li has no helper.

A strange beast climbed up from the gravel, moved its three limbs slowly and approached Lu Li's back, and stabbed at Lu Li's back with its slender mouthparts.

Bang!

The huge shadow fell, the steel feet trampled the monster into flesh, and corrosive venom burst out from the broken mouthparts.

"Run up."

Knight Vino whispered to Lu Li who turned around.

Lu Li's dark eyes briefly paused at the knight armor made by Judgment, then turned around and continued upwards.

Knight Vino followed behind with heavy steps.

New cracks are born every moment, and lava waterfalls gush out from the rock cracks every moment. The eighth floor of the Spiral Hall is like a world on the verge of destruction. Tremors, magma, and collapse are the eternal melody.

There are few monstrosities with such an intuitive manifestation of power, and the outline of steam is compared to those monstrosities, like a reckless man and a conspirator.

Disaster does not distinguish between friend and foe, it treats everyone equally.

The steps under my feet suddenly became tilted and cracked, and the spiral hall under my feet was like honey being broken open, falling out of the honeycomb and sliding towards the abyss.

The steps that are still intact are still hundreds of meters away.

Lu Li accelerated and ran forward. The knight Vino who followed silently also began to take off his cumbersome and heavy armor.

After running away for a few dozen seconds, the untouched steps were right in front of me.

Lu Li stepped on the severely sloping ground, jumped over the rolling gravel, grabbed the edge of the broken steps with both hands, and propped himself up.

The knight Vino, who had only his leg armor left, followed closely behind and jumped up with all his strength, but it was too late and too heavy. His raised palm fell down only ten centimeters away from the edge of the fracture.

snap

Suddenly an outstretched arm grabbed him, slid from his elbow to his palm, and then dropped his body dozens of centimeters, barely returning to stillness.

Knight Vino gasped violently. The terrifying falling of the spiral hall became the background, and countless rubbles and lava fell into the silent abyss.

He raised his head and looked at Lu Li, who was catching him but could be led into the abyss at any time. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger from his waist.

"Please go back to the ice-free port of Weiner... to wash away the filth, if you haven't been... covered in dust."

Before he cut off his wrist, Lu Li above him also pulled out a dagger and swung it down

The sharp dagger pierced the palms of both men.

A calm whisper passed through the sharp pain of pulling on the palm, and rang in the ears of Knight Vino.

"Go back and tell yourself."
