Chapter 418: Chapter 248: Ghost Bell vs. Rainbow Wings, Black Cocoon’s Reinforcements
However... the giant’s body was pierced by a heap of ice spikes within just three or four seconds.
The cold current swirled in the wind, striking against the tottering ferris wheel.
The giant, like a city wall, roared silently in the night sky, as if a deflated balloon. The colossal shadow poured out like a tide from the breaches in its body.
In this moment, the shadow returned to its original size, falling at the feet of Ghost Bell. The remaining ice spikes lost their barrier, and naturally fell from the sky without reservation.
Ghost Bell remained motionless, the Clock Tower rang again, sending out an invisible shockwave towards the sky, slowing the descent speed of the ice spikes, or rather "time."
Seizing the moment when the ice spikes slowed, Ghost Bell finally moved.
He squinted his eyes, leaping from the top of the ferris wheel. He stepped on the side of the closest ice spike, stomped, and immediately shot toward another airborne ice spike like a cannonball, once again using the spike as a springboard!
Ghost Bell’s figure was as agile as a leopard, swiftly ricocheting between the slowly falling ice spikes.
Finally, he reached the top ice spike, using its top as a pedestal, bending his knees to gather strength, his calf muscles suddenly swelling, launching him ferociously at You Ruirui atop the Ice Cliff!
In the moonlight, Ghost Bell raised his head and roared. The fierce wind hit him head-on. He raised the blade on his right arm, a violent crimson glow trailing from the corner of his eye.
Yet in the next second, the air around You Ruirui froze again.
Then, a shorter and much sharper, more exquisite ice spike plunged downward. As fast as a peerless arrow, it pierced through Ghost Bell’s chest in an instant.
He was like Jesus nailed to a cross, dragged down by the spike that had penetrated his body, falling violently through the turbulent atmosphere.
The cold swept through his body, ravaging his organs, as if every inch of flesh was frozen.
His entire body gradually chilled, Ghost Bell spiraled down to the ground, finally crashing onto the amusement park floor. He could hear the cracking of bones, web-like cracks spreading beneath him.
"Cough..."
Ghost Bell spat out a mouthful of blood, squinted his eyes, and with his last bit of strength, struggled to pull out the ice spike lodged in his chest, raising his blade to crush it hard.
Among the shattered ice dust, Ghost Bell raised his head, squinting at the sky.
At this moment, he saw an inconceivable scene: a blue ice meteor appeared on the pitch-black sky, the massive meteor even overshadowing the moon’s light, casting a vast shadow downward.
And You Ruirui still stood motionless on the ice, silently looking at Ghost Bell on the ground, her pale white face expressionless.
"Couldn’t even get close to me, why struggle?"
As the words of the white-haired girl fell, the ice-forged meteor tore through the atmosphere, tumbling down with a whistling airflow.
The meteor continuously approached the brightly lit ferris wheel.
The air whined and screeched, and the instant they touched, the ferris wheel was crushed.
With a creak, numerous carriages went dark, flipping and falling amid bursting sparks and detached gears.
At this moment, Ghost Bell was holding his chest, half-kneeling on the ground, his left hand unable to stop the blood flowing.
"Get out of here!" he roared, raising his right fist, spinning his arm for leverage, fiercely punching away a flying carriage, the twisted door flipping open.
In the earthquake-like turmoil, the remaining carriages crashed to the ground.
Coming to his senses, Ghost Bell found himself trapped inside the ferris wheel’s wreckage.
Looking up, the massive ice-forged meteor still relentlessly plunged toward the ground, as if nothing in this world could stop its advance.
At this moment, Ghost Bell’s figure seemed so small, like a human gazing at an alien visitor.
"Oh... the prowess of Rainbow Wings is truly terrifying, not in the same league as my dad," thought Black Cocoon, "Could Zhou Jiuya win if he faced her? Doesn’t Lake Hunting brag that their solo combat capability is stronger than Rainbow Wings?"
He shrugged, "Ah, good thing the rescuers are here."
Thinking this, Black Cocoon shifted his gaze away from the impending crashing ice-forged meteor, turning to look at another part of the sky.
Only to see a white-haired, blue-eyed youth speeding towards them riding a two-meter-long shark.
At this moment, Cezar was holding a rust-red umbrella, the very "Divine Concealment Umbrella" once used by Li Qingping.
Back then, it was exactly through the invisibility granted by the Divine Concealment Umbrella that they managed to sneak into the Imperial Palace.
With a "boom," the rust-red umbrella opened in the night sky, as vibrant as a peacock’s tail feathers. Influenced by the "Divine Concealment Umbrella," neither Cezar nor Yaguba under him were visible to outsiders.
As if truly hidden from the world.
Yaguba raised its head, its pupils reflecting the meteor falling toward the earth.
"We need to move faster!" it shouted, wrapped in black torrents, flying rapidly toward the amusement park, urging, "Cezar, otherwise it’ll be too late!"
"I know."
Cezar took a deep breath, looking at Ghost Bell kneeling in the ruins, raised his hand, and crushed the Anecdote Fragment - "Mimic Puppet" within his palm.
This was also a fragment once used by Li Qingping.
Back then, they attempted to use "Mimic Puppet" to confuse the Royal Court Team’s attention, to sneak into the Imperial Palace and steal the White King’s Staff, but failed.
