Hermione kept retreating until she reached the top of the stairs.
This was a spiral staircase built on the side of the mountain.
Sections, each section was separated by a very small platform.
The spiral staircase was about five feet wide and was crudely made. Although it was narrow, it should not be dangerous to walk on.
Hermione retreated to the platform and turned around to face the Terror Rats.
These rats looked very ferocious and were about long.
Feet long.
They bared their teeth and raised their heads high, ready to attack Hermione.
Hermione pulled out her wand and wanted to block their attack with layers of barriers.
However, one of them suddenly jumped up like an arrow and pounced on Hermione.
"Ten thousand bullets!" Hermione shouted.
The sand, gravel, and the bones of the small animals on the platform instantly attacked the Terror Rat.
The Terror Rat howled in pain as it was shot into a sieve. It fell from the sky and blood flowed all over the ground.
At the same time, the other two Terror Rats stared at Luna, ready to attack at any time.
Luna tried to take a step back. This was like a signal. The two Terror Rats pounced on her with their black mouths drooping and a ferocious expression.
Allen tightened his grip on his wand. He controlled his desire to help. Luna and Hermione both needed training.
Moreover, with these Terror Rats' abilities, even if they hurt them, the injuries would not be too serious.
Moreover, with Allen around, as long as they did not suffer fatal injuries, they should be healed in an instant.
"Petrify all of you!" The Terror Rat on the left was still in its pouncing posture. It froze in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
The Terror Rat on the right was still baring its teeth and pouncing on Luna fiercely.
Hermione quickly ran to Luna to support her.
"Ah — Ah!"
Hermione was too anxious and did not notice that the stairs in front of her were stained with the Terror Rat's blood and became very slippery. She was caught off guard and fell down the stairs.
"Iron Armor Protection!" Luna shouted. The other Terror Mouse that was pouncing on Luna seemed to have hit an invisible wall. It flew out and fell down the stairs.
Allen and Luna hurried to the edge of the stairs and looked down.
The unlucky Terror Mouse struggled desperately in the air, but to no avail. It fell to the second floor's platform and twitched weakly on the ground. Obviously, its injuries were not light.
As for Hermione …
Hermione's Fantasy Feather Cloak spread out in the air and brought her down the spiral staircase to the platform below. Hermione landed safely.
Allen and Luna also quickly rushed from the spiral staircase to the platform where Hermione was.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Allen looked at Hermione's pale face and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, Allen. This cloak prevented me from falling and injuring myself. "Hermione was still in shock. She held onto the corner of the cloak and was very glad.
"The reason why I didn't make a move was because I felt that this was a good opportunity for a real battle. And I believed that you could solve it, and you did."
Allen patted her shoulder comfortingly and the three of them continued to move forward.
The three of them followed the spiral staircase and came to a small open space.
This open space extended to the north and south, and there were many broken stone pillars scattered around.
The castle that appeared in front of them was obviously the legendary Dark City. The wooden gate of the castle tower stood not far away in the west.
The castle was surrounded by ruins formed by the collapse of the stone pillars. However, Allen only probed a little before he stopped.
This was because the stones in the ruins would constantly shake with his movements. Allen's exploration was hindered and he could only stop.
However, Allen noticed that small creatures could still crawl in the gaps under the stones. For example, mice or smaller creatures could freely pass through the gaps, but they could only move at a quarter of their normal speed.
Allen carefully retreated, trying his best to prevent the stone pillars from collapsing.
Suddenly, he stopped and pointed the magic wand in his hand behind him. "Ravage Innards" – A Terror Mouse that wanted to attack him from behind suddenly fell to the ground and kept rolling.
For creatures that were under this curse, their innards would start to churn. Their bodies would become exceptionally strong, or they could endure the pain for a short period of time and successfully cast the curse. This kind of Counter Curse would be able to resist.
Otherwise, many of the innards of the target creature would churn under the effect of the curse before being ejected from the abdominal cavity, killing the target.
If Allen continued to cast the curse, the innards of the Terror Mouse would fly directly to Allen and fuse into his body. The vitality contained within would provide a certain healing effect.
But for Allen who was obsessed with cleanliness, he didn't want to touch the innards of the Terror Mouse at all.
Moreover, the Terror Mouse's innards scattered on the ground could attract other Terror Mice and make them stop chasing after Allen and the rest.
"Stop." Allen suddenly stopped Hermione and Luna.
The two of them obediently stopped and looked curiously at Allen as he squatted down and observed the ground in front of him.
"Look, the color of the soil is a little different from the surrounding area. The humidity is slightly different, it looks like it has just been refurbished."
Allen pointed at an area in front of them and said.
He took out his magic wand and used the Levitation Spell to control a stone pillar from the ruins to fly towards the area.
As the stone pillar fell, a trap appeared in front of the three of them.
Inside the trap, there were two skeletons of Terror Rats. One of them was a Terror Rat that had died about a week ago, and the other was still alive.
The Terror Mice fed on their dead brethren and survived, but they were trapped because the mechanism was restored.
"We can go along that path." Hermione said.
Allen nodded. At the same time, he suggested that everyone wear the soft shoe covers in the H94 uniform to avoid making any noise when walking and alerting the people inside.
Around the trap, there was a one-foot wide edge for them to walk through. The three of them quietly went around the trap.
After walking for a long distance, they finally reached the door safely.
The wooden door in front of them looked no different from a normal door. But the three of them did not act rashly.
Allen first checked if there was any mechanism on the door. After getting a negative answer, he leaned forward and listened to the movement behind the door.
Then, he took a few steps back and held the magic wand in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
He glanced at Luna, and Luna understood. "Alaho, open." The wooden door quietly opened a crack.
After waiting for a while and seeing that there were no abnormalities, the three of them pushed the door open and entered.
What appeared in front of them was a circular hall. The hall was littered with broken stones.
In addition, they found four Terror Mouse corpses that were torn apart. There were black blood stains on the wall behind them.
