Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

In a remote corner of Deli Town, where the "Loser Club" meets, Mike Hanlon gathered his companions.

Although they had experience fighting Pennywise 27 years ago, today is different from the past. Pennywise after the extraordinary recovery cannot be dealt with simply by overcoming his inner fear. Three companions are already resisting. died in the process, and now there are only 4 people left in their small group.

After everyone arrived, he simply said: "Pennywise looked very angry today. I guess he must have been frustrated somewhere. We want to pass this message on and tell everyone, don't be afraid. It's not." It’s not invincible. The town of Deli has disappeared for so long. It’s impossible for the officials to ignore it. Someone will definitely come to save us.”

Eddie, Richie, and Beverly nodded silently.

After a long silence, Beverly suddenly asked: "Do we still have a chance?"

Mike was as determined as ever, "As long as we overcome our fear, we will definitely defeat Pennywise, believe me!"

Several people were inspired by his belief and gained the courage to fight again, and nodded.

They carefully opened the door, looked at the huge clown mask in the sky, and went out along the corner.

——

Waldburg.

In Luke's body, where no one could sense it, strange changes were taking place subtly.

The divinity of "Fear" received sufficient support from the power of faith and became fuller and rounder. Finally, under the continuous infusion of energy, it silently split itself, turning from one strand into two strands.

The branches representing [Dread Crows] are also growing vigorously, and the number of crows that can be summoned has exceeded the 100 mark. However, after breaking through 100, if you want to increase the number again, you need to reach the level of 200 crows.

Although the fear currently exceeds the level of 100 crows, probably around 130, the total number of crows Luke can transform is still only 100.

Next, as long as Luke completes the number of crows, Harpie will have the opportunity to upgrade again.

More than an hour passed, perhaps because the balloon clown did not appear again last night, the fear that Luke could absorb began to gradually decrease, and it became lower and lower.

At this time, he no longer needs to devote himself to coordination and cooperation. The two "fear" divinities can already absorb and accept the power of these "stolen" beliefs on their own.

Luke opened his eyes and said to the people waiting on the side: "It's time to start spreading the news that the 'Balloon' demon has been killed."

The residents of Phoenix City are far more accepting of supernatural elements than other cities in the Lighthouse Country. After the gossip spread, everyone naturally accepted the idea that there was a "superman" maintaining the safety of the city, and their fears were greatly alleviated.

It was night, and the inflow of fear had dropped to a very low level. Luke stopped [blasphemy]. At the same time, Pennywise also lost his real-time sense of Luke's position.

The balloon clown has been killed, and the panic has been sorted out. The clown murder incident has come to an end for the time being.

Uncle Wagner will take his parents back to Black Spindle Town tomorrow, and he also invited Luke to go with him.

Luke originally refused.

But Wagner said that this time he could take him to see the family's solitary prison, the kind where contaminating supernatural creatures are imprisoned.

Although it is a small prison, it still has a lot of experience points.

Luke's current level is stuck at 90% of level 13. Although it is not like the time when he was stuck at 98%, as if there were ants crawling all over his body, he is still uncomfortable and wants to upgrade quickly.

So faced with his uncle's kind invitation that was hard to refuse, he still agreed and decided that the four of them would go to Black Spindle Town together.

The ray of fear divinity obtained this time has brought a certain enhancement to the [Fear Fog] effect of [Dread Crow], but it is not particularly significant. It seems that the effect from 1 to 2 is far less than from 0 to 1.

In addition, the acquisition of divinity brings 1 free attribute point.

At present, Luke's physical strength is 15 points. Before 30 points of soul strength, there is no need to pay special attention to the oppression of the body by the strong soul, so he adds to the soul strength as always, raising it to 24 points.

As for the increase in the number of [Dread Crows].

Luke enjoyed VIP treatment this time and did not need to send crows to seduce him. After he stated his needs, the staff of the anomaly handling brigade went directly to search the mountains and forests.

The four or five people sent out were all suitable for catching abilities, and they helped him catch the 30 crows he needed in more than half an hour.

Luke asked them to put the crows in a large, airtight meditation room. After everyone went out, they closed the door and prepared for the crows to transform again.

The "Mirror of Ten Thousand Flowers" came out of the body, and the crows fluttered their wings and came out of the mirror world, huddled together in the meditation room.

The newly captured wild crow screamed in fright and tried to escape from the confines of the cage, but it could only fly randomly in the limited space, constantly hitting the wire mesh of the cage, and a large amount of down and feathers fell in mid-air.

Luke controlled the [Dread Crow] branch on the ability tree and began to transform.

A large amount of fear was transformed into some kind of special energy by the skill branches, and divided into thirty channels, which were injected into the bodies of thirty crows.

The transformation process lasted 3 minutes.

The originally sluggish crows regained their agility, grew slightly in size, their feathers became more jet black and shiny, and structures similar to those of their predecessors appeared on their heads.

After the transformation was completed, under Luke's instructions, the crows flapped their wings and flew out of the birdcage, surrounding Harpie.

Next, is its upgrade.

The fear stored on the skill branches began to flow out in large amounts. The energy that had been accumulated to complete the transformation of more than 30 crows was quickly consumed. It was not until about seven or eight crows were left with the energy that they could no longer stop.

At this time, Harpierre was completely enveloped in a thick layer of black light.

It itself was transformed from a crow, and became a huge, brand-new bird and beast through upgrades. Its size is no smaller than the pterosaur in Jurassic World.

Judging from the size of the light ball, this upgrade does not seem to continue to develop in terms of body size expansion.

Harpie's upgrade took much longer than the other crows. It took nearly half an hour before the black ball of light disintegrated in all directions, revealing the ferocious beast inside.

Its figure is elegant and majestic, its body is as dark as night, without any variegated colors, and every feather is as smooth as obsidian, exuding an enchanting shimmer.

Crowned down is clustered around its head, covering the bony crown structure. Its wings are wide and strong, and its feathers are arranged in an orderly manner, forming a mysterious and strange pattern. It makes people feel frightened at first glance, as if it is... Saw the natural enemy.

In addition to changes in appearance, the most important aspect is skills.

In addition to the [Aetherial], [Painful Torment], [Hoarse Cry] and [Fear Fog] that all [Dread Crows] possess, and the previously unique [Lord of Crows], Harpie, who has been upgraded again, has obtained Brand new skills——

[Wind of Darkness]: Harpie can summon a dark hurricane full of fear through the bony organs on his head. The hurricane has strong corrosive power and can corrode the soul and body of the target. If the target infected by the wind of darkness is not strong-willed, he will fall into endless fear and panic, and his soul will be severely hit.

(Each crow can flap its wings and join the dark wind to increase the effect and power of the hurricane)

There is another group attack skill, and it seems that the effect can be linked with the previous one, but I don’t know if it will conflict with [Fear Fog], after all, one wind and one fog.

But the greater possibility is fusion. After all, they are not simple natural phenomena. They have the same energy and complementary effects.

Now with Harpie's ability, he can basically break away from Luke and fight hero-level enemies alone. If he adds the support of a hundred crows, he can be considered relatively strong even at the hero level. That one.

Except for Luke, a pervert who has mastered divinity in advance, and Albert, who was at the peak of his physical form a month ago, at the heroic level, it felt like there were very few heroic-level enemies who could handle Harpier's attack.

After admiring Halpier, who was becoming more and more in line with his own aesthetics and whose appearance had greatly improved, Luke took all the crows into the mirror and got everything ready, just waiting to set off tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Mason and Lillian had already finished packing and had rested for a few days. They were full of energy and the four of them set off together.

Luke originally planned to pick up the four of them and take Harpie on their way.

However, once four people squeezed on Harpier's back, plus some luggage, it was not too big to occupy, but it was a bit crowded.

Secondly, when Wagoner came, he was driving his favorite Chevrolet Corvette, and he refused to put down the car no matter what.

So in the end, everyone decided to drive to the clan land. After all, there were two powerful extraordinary beings, Luke and Wagner. Not to mention the fare, there was no need to be afraid even if there were demons all over the road.

If he really met the devil, Luke would be even happier.

I don’t have any experience with door-to-door delivery, so I’ll drive out and look for it myself.

Thinking of this, he also gave up the idea of ​​flying there directly and regarded this trip as a fun family trip and an upgrade trip full of expectations.

Luke and the others stopped driving another car and took Wagner's Chevrolet directly, and the four of them headed to Black Spindle Town.

Speaking of the name of this town, there is also a long history.

On the way out, Wagner introduced Luke idly.

It is said that the source is the spindle in the hand of a certain goddess that spins the thread of destiny. Due to the temptation of the evil god, the goddess fell and the pure white spindle in her hand turned black.

After that, the goddess was killed by an unknown being, and the spindle in her hand fell to the world for some reason. The place where it fell was Black Spindle Town.

Wagner refused to deny whether this rumor was true, but he told Luke mysteriously that the Asmo family did have a spindle artifact that could greatly enhance the casting effect of curse-like abilities.

Luke is not interested in curse spells, but listen to what he says, Fate, the Black Spindle. Luke inexplicably thought of his "Wanhua Mirror".

After all, they are all related to fate, and maybe they were used by the same goddess.

The vehicle drove out of Phoenix City and passed by Street Farm, where the werewolves gathered. Now it looked completely deserted. The houses collapsed and the farmland was barren and overgrown with weeds. It looked more like a monster than when it was prosperous before. gathering place.

Luke also let a crow go in and circle with great interest. There was nothing inside, even the traces of his own battles had been cleaned up.

As the vehicle moved forward quickly, several people soon left the outskirts of the city and arrived at the smooth interstate highway.

The vehicle gradually drove westward. After a few hours, it passed through the lush jungle. The greenery gradually decreased, and large areas of desert began to appear. The undulating sand dunes on the horizon were like waves rushing towards the face.

Yellow sand covers the ground as far as the eye can see. Occasionally, you can see a few desert plants growing tenaciously on the dunes, adding a touch of vitality to this desolation.

At first glance, this scene looks a bit vast and desolate, but after watching it for almost an hour, anyone will feel bored.

Luke was bored and began to observe the crows' vision. They were flying in the sky and could see more things, which was much better than the boring vision in the cab.

No, here comes the fun.

In Harpier's field of vision, in the desert far away from the interstate highway, a tent area that looked like a temporary military camp was dotted on the desert. However, there was no one in the military camp, at least the tents. No outside.

On a barren mountain not far away, several American soldiers were on guard with guns suspiciously, as if they had encountered some terrifying enemy.

Harpierre continued to observe.

Well, we have encountered an enemy.

It keenly discovered several corpses lying in different places on the mountain. These corpses died in different ways, but overall, they were basically injured by cold weapons, and the wounds were mainly through penetration, cutting, and felling.

Of course, two fell to death.

Soon, the enemies of the soldiers also appeared in Harpier's eyes.

Although they were very careful to pass through the terrain and mountains and were not discovered by the soldiers, Harpie had a clear view in the sky and quickly found the movements of two or three deformed monsters.

One common feature of these weirdos is that they are ugly, almost as ugly as the mountain ogres, Luke's first real enemy.

Of course, they are not all ugly.

Aside from the ubiquitous presence of sharp and jagged teeth, each monster has its own unique characteristics.

One was wearing tattered overalls. He had some hair on his head, but it was sparse and yellow, and he couldn't even comb it out in the middle. His forehead was as big as Lei Zhenzi, and the skin on his face was mutated and raised, and there were wrinkles everywhere.

One looks a bit like a normal human being, except that a horn-like protrusion has grown out of the left side of his forehead, and thick water and blood are constantly leaking out.

On the top of the mountain, there is another one whose body is khaki, and half of its body is covered with stone-like pustules and hyperplasia. It has no hair on its body, and lying on the ground would be like a dry, numb stone. There was a movement, and even Harpie almost misread it.

Luke patted Wagner on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, stop for a moment. There are a few soldiers trapped on the mountain. I'll go take a look."

Wagner knew there was his scout in the sky, so he slowly stopped the car and asked, "Do you need help?"

"No, it's a joke."

As he spoke, Luke released more crows and [disapparated] away.
