The ground is cracked.
With the throne as the center, a crack more than ten feet wide opened between the floor tiles, rubble surged to both sides, and streams of dark red light gushed out from the depths of the crack.
The moment the light came out, my heartbeat suddenly started beating.
Boom.
A dull, drum-like heartbeat came from the depths of the crack, making the three of them feel tight in their chests.
Second tone.
Boom.
The third tone.
Boom.
The rhythm became faster and faster, the cracks became wider and wider, and dark red light spread out from the cracks, illuminating the entire inner temple in blood.
A huge hand stretched out from the crack.
To be precise, it was not the shape of a palm, but more like a claw-like structure formed by a pile of dark red silk threads entwined and compressed. The five fingers were spread out, and each finger was about a foot long, stretching out against the ground.
The tips of the nails were dark gold, with a metallic luster, and the blood-colored light made people's eyes hurt.
Next comes the head.
A huge skull squeezed out from the crack. It had no skin, no flesh, and was just a dark red bone structure. The surface of the skull was cracked with dense lines, and dark golden light flowed in the lines.
The eye sockets were empty, and there were two dark golden fires dancing inside.
"This is..." Sirius's voice was dry.
"Shedding Gods." Lin Ze also gripped the wand tightly, his finger joints turning white.
Shedding Gods's skull rotated slowly, and the two dark golden flames swept across several people in the hall, and finally stopped on Lin Ze.
"Fingerbones." A voice directly exploded in several people's heads.
"Give it to me."
"Lin, if this thing crawls out, I'm afraid this royal city will be lost."
"I know."
"So what are you going to do?"
Lin Ze took a deep breath and took out the dark red stone from Undetectable Extension Box.
As soon as the stone was in hand, a burning warmth came from the palm of the hand.
"Hey!" Sirius turned pale when he saw that action.
"What are you doing?"
"Gamble."
Shedding Gods When he saw the stone, the dark golden flames on his skull suddenly jumped a few inches higher.
Shedding Gods's skull slowly lowered, and two dark golden flames stared at the stone in his hand, like a snake staring at a frog.
"This... is the fragment I left in my body..." The voice ran rampant in my mind.
"Give it... back to me..."
"Okay." Lin Ze lifted the stone.
"You go back first."
The cracks on the skull lit up for a moment.
"You... are not qualified... to negotiate terms."
"Tsk."
Lin Ze tossed the stone again and again between his palms.
Shedding Gods The two dark golden flames danced in the empty eye sockets, and the skull tilted slightly.
"You... can't seem to come out?" Lin Ze suddenly spoke.
The dark gold flame on the skull stopped for a moment.
The skull didn't answer.
Sirius stood not far behind Lin Ze, his palms full of sweat, and his knuckles holding the wand turned white.
Arthur held up Sword in the Stone. The silver-white luster on the sword was like a piece of thin ice floating in the blood under the dark red light.
Shedding Gods The crack on his head suddenly lit up for a moment.
The speed of the dark red threads pouring out of the cracks suddenly accelerated and spread close to the ground towards the feet of Lin Ze.
"Watch out!" Arthur shouted.
Lin Ze held the dark red stone in the palm of his hand. Dragon scales emerged from the wrist and covered the entire arm. The dark golden scales mixed with the dark red color of the stone.
The temperature on the stone suddenly dropped.
Lin Ze had an idea and took out the "space" finger bone from Undetectable Extension Box.
The blue and white arcs of electricity shot out from the surface of the finger bones and hit the stone. The dark red lines on the surface of the stone shrank as if they had been burned.
Shedding Gods's skull let out a scream.
Sirius groaned and knelt down on one knee.
Arthur's nosebleed flowed out, but he was still standing. He thrust the Sword in the Stone in his hand into the ground, and a silver-white halo suddenly burst out from the sword body, covering the three of them.
"Huh?" Lin Ze stared at the sword again and again, and was sure that it was the sword that he and Sirius had modified.
But it... seems to be different from what it was after the transformation?
It's just that I don't have time to worry about the sword now.
The power of the "space" finger bone continued to stimulate the stone, and Shedding Gods's huge body began to shake uncontrollably.
A fine line cracked on the surface of the stone, and dark red light poured out from the crack, seeping out like blood beads.
Shedding Gods's skull suddenly pushed upwards.
The entire dome of the inner hall was directly smashed, and rubble mixed with broken wooden beams crashed down.
Sirius dragged Arthur to the side and a piece of gravel rubbed Arthur's shoulder and hit the floor, creating a half-foot-deep hole.
"It's coming out!"
Lin Ze said nothing, his wrist holding the "space" phalanges was trembling.
The blue-white electric arc on the surface of the finger bone collided with the dark red light in the stone, like two snakes biting each other, and no one was willing to let go.
And the Shedding Gods body is squeezing out from the cracks.
"Sirius!" Lin Ze shouted.
Sirius understood instantly.
One after another, destructive spells were fired at Shedding Gods.
The spell hitting Shedding Gods's body surface did not cause any substantial damage, but it made Shedding Gods even more angry.
Lin Ze cooperated with Sirius to release "Fiendfyre" left and right, but unexpectedly Shedding Gods took a sharp breath and swallowed Fiendfyre into his belly.
Dark red threads poured out from every crack on Shedding Gods's skull, crawling very fast against the ground, bypassing Arthur Sword in the Stone's silver-white halo, and coming over from the side.
Lin Ze and Sirius used "Apparition" to dodge back and forth, but their running direction was constantly restricted by silk threads.
It was consciously forcing the two of them to move in a specific direction.
When two people realize each other's intentions, how can they let it come true?
"Severing Charm" kept flying in the air, and the silk thread was broken into pieces in the air.
Lin Ze"Apparition" came to Arthur: "Lend me this sword."
Arthur handed Sword in the Stone sideways without thinking.
Lin Ze took the sword with his left hand and pressed the stone on the sword with his right hand.
The moment the stone came into contact with the sword, the silvery white luster on the sword surged, becoming more than ten times brighter than before. The entire inner hall was illuminated as if it were daytime.
Shedding Gods let out a short roar, and the two dark gold flames suddenly shrank in a circle.
The stone was sucked onto the sword, and dark red light and silvery white light entangled on the blade, like two snakes biting together.
"Damn, it really became "Sword in the Stone"."
Shedding Gods let out a low hiss, which made Lin Ze's teeth sore.
Lin Ze holds Sword in the Stone in his left hand. The dark red and silver colors on the sword are mixed together. The two lights are entangled with each other, like two fighting snakes.
He felt something moving in his palm, a pulse-like vibration that spread from the hilt to his wrist.
The stone floor in the hall was like broken egg shells, falling piece by piece. Shedding Gods's torso was arching upward from the ground, and those dark red threads sprouted from the cracks around it, crawling against the walls and covering the entire inner hall.
