Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 273: Choose Two from Three

"Impossible," Billy said grimly. "There is no such thing as an inevitable death curse in this world. If there is, it only exists in stories."

Penny swung forward again, looking at Billy with a hint of interest.

"Yes, I was lying to you." She chuckled, seemingly quite pleased with the tense look on the three of them's faces.

"Aren't you trapped here just like us?" Angela couldn't help but take a step forward. She had been watching the tide outside, the blood-red waves almost reaching the windowsill.

She didn't want to chat with this unknown Penny anymore.

"The offerings are now ready. If you tell us how to leave, we can try to help you escape."

"You're lying!"

Penny pouted and deliberately braced herself with her arm, changing the direction of Zhong Ling's swaying.

The long Mochi Mochi swayed, its toes almost touching Angela.

The latter immediately retreated.

Penny's prank succeeded, and she laughed so hard she almost fell over, just like an innocent child.

Angela bit her lip in anger, wanting to release the vengeful spirit within her and teach Penny a lesson.

Thor raised his hand to stop Angela.

He stepped forward, raised his hand and grabbed Mochi Mochi's swinging leg, directly stopping the clock from shaking.

Penny stopped with the clock, her body didn't sway, as if inertia had no effect on her.

"Your sudden appearance isn't just to toy with us. Time is running out. What do you want? What do you want to do? Tell us quickly."

Penny looked down at Thor, the playful smile finally fading from her face.

"Is Brother Thor in such a hurry to leave Penny? This might be the last time we see each other."

Saul just stared intently at her.

Under Saul's watchful gaze, Penny finally gave in.

"Okay." She jumped down from the clock and landed lightly on Thor's arm.

Thor didn't use much force in his arms, yet he still managed to support the girl's weight.

She landed on him like a butterfly gently alighting on a flower stamen.

"By igniting the soul fire of this offering, the gates of the town can be opened temporarily."

Just as Penny finished speaking, Billy suddenly moved.

A black flame emerged from his fingertips, and with a flick of his arm, the flame instantly landed on Mochi Mochi.

The flames landed on Mochi Mochi as if they had landed on spilled grease, instantly igniting his entire body.

The latter's entire body began to burn, and its limbs, which had been hanging limply, suddenly began to tremble.

Thor also heard a mournful wail.

That was the voice from Mochi Mochi's soul.

Saul glanced at Billy, who remained unmoved.

This person just risked his own life to save Mochi Mochi, and now that he hears that leaving this place requires sacrificing Mochi Mochi, he's the first to step in again.

The flames from Mochi Mochi's corpse not only affected his soul, but also ignited the large clock next to him, and then set the roof of the clock tower ablaze.

Everything that should be ignited and everything that shouldn't be ignited is burning.

The firelight pierced through the windows of the clock tower, tinting the blood-red sea outside with a layer of golden light.

The three people standing in the clock tower all put on a layer of protection to shield themselves from the scorching fire and high temperature.

"and then?"

Billy's flames were unusual; his body was quickly reduced to ashes. The bronze bell was also melting and dripping.

However, the iron chains on the bronze bell appear to have only been coated with a layer of flame, and have not deformed or melted.

But seeing this, Penny, standing on Saul's arm, didn't look any better. In fact, she looked even worse.

"Then it's just a matter of waiting for the cage to appear and point out where the door is."

Penny swayed slightly as she jumped off Saul's arm, then lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Thor watched Penny's reaction, while Billy stared intently at the bronze bell, whose original appearance was no longer recognizable.

"Bang!"

Finally, the enormous bronze bell fell to the ground. The flames on it scattered and fled like rats.

Some of them collided with the wizard apprentice's magical defenses and went out with a "whoosh".

After the bell fell, something else was still attached to the iron chain that held the bell.

It was like a crystal ball filled with red liquid.

The liquid had already filled most of the crystal ball, and it looked like it was still increasing.

It looks like a miniature version of the town of Grindnut.

"Is this the source of the curse on this town?" Billy looked at the crystal ball, his heart filled with longing.

However, the curse is at its most powerful moment right now, and even if a formal wizard came, he might not be able to take away the source of the curse.

Suddenly, a red dot of light appeared inside the crystal ball. The dot of light emitted two rays of light that hit the outer wall of the crystal ball, reflecting two small dots of light.

The light continued to penetrate the crystal ball, appearing inside the clock tower, and then shooting out of the clock tower's window, shining directly into the surging sea of ​​blood.

Thor looked at the direction of the two beams of light, which seemed to correspond to the two city gates of Mosail Town.

"The door is open now, but it will only last for three minutes."

"Let's go!" Billy, being more experienced, immediately took flight, ready to take Angela away.

However, the next second, Penny said with a cold laugh, "This escape route has limitations. Only two people can leave at most."

Although it was unclear whether Penny was telling the truth, the atmosphere in the entire clock tower suddenly became eerie.

Billy and Thor's eyes met, like two bolts of lightning meeting in mid-air.

Thor knew he was unlikely to beat Billy in a direct confrontation, and Angela seemed to be very important to him as well.

But Thor wouldn't give up his chance to escape.

"If Billy really wants to fight me..." Thor glanced at Angela out of the corner of his eye, his right fingertips gradually turning transparent.

This time, without anyone reminding her, Angela knew that Thor would definitely be targeting her.

She quickly maintained her defensive spell, moving behind Billy to completely block his view of her.

"Come in." Billy, with his back to Angela, suddenly opened his magical defensive barrier a little.

Angela's face lit up with joy, knowing that Billy was going to protect her.

Angela knew that a third-level apprentice's defensive magic was definitely better than hers, so she didn't hesitate and went into Billy's magic barrier.

Angela looked at Thor opposite her, a strange sense of smugness rising within her. "So what if you're talented? Can you really defeat someone who's about to become a full-fledged wizard...?"

"puff--"

However, the pain of her abdomen being pierced instantly interrupted Angela's smugness.

"Huh?" She looked incredulously at Billy's hand that was inserted into her abdomen.

Before she could react, Billy pulled his hand away again.

He was still clutching a light gray solid in his hand, its surface rough and irregular, like an inconspicuous stone.

"Although it's a bit early to bring it out now, it should be able to reproduce independently."

Billy quickly put the stone away, and it only flashed past Thor.

He then pushed the convulsing Angela off his defensive barrier, leaving her writhing in agony.

"Why?" Angela was in so much pain that she couldn't even lift her head.

But Billy ignored her completely, and said to Saul, who was staring at him expressionlessly, "Don't be nervous, now it's just the two of us."

Suddenly, a wave surged in through the window; the blood wave had reached this spot.

At this moment, the crystal ball above their heads also began to become unstable.

Thor wasn't surprised by Billy's cruelty towards Angela, but he didn't expect him to suddenly intervene at this crucial moment.

"What is this?" Thor thought. "An apology for helping Mochi Mochi attack me just now?"

Billy nodded to Saul, then turned and stood on the windowsill.

This person is truly decisive when it comes to choosing what's in their interests.

Saul knew this wasn't the time to settle scores, so he quickly jumped onto another window.

But when he saw the direction of the gate, he froze.

The red light emanating from the crystal ball above was indeed directed towards the two city gates, but the gates were now completely submerged in blood.

In other words, if they are to follow the red line, they will have to dive underwater before leaving the town.

But that crimson wave was the curse's most powerful attack. Were they destined to flee only to plunge headlong into the scarlet blood wave in the end?
