Unknown runes began to light up one by one on the Harp, and a cold, frantic, mature female voice also emanated from within the Harp. She was laughing wildly, each laugh sounding like a great bell ringing in Durin's mind, deafening him. "Come! Give your body to me... offer up this lowly body of yours!"
"Who's speaking?"
Durin gritted his teeth.
That penetrating female voice rang out in Durin's mind this time!
"I am the Ascended Stellatu! Crawler! Kneel and submit to your Queen!"
A blinding white light burst from the body of the Harp. Durin had no time to react before a ball of blazing fire enveloped him, causing excruciating pain from the inside out.
As he was enveloped by the flames, Durin couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream: "AAAAHHHH!!!"
He found that the skin on his chest began to fester, like a frying pan with something cooking in it, replaced by a layer of blackish-red keratin that looked like scales.
Agony!
Indescribable pain!
His mind was also filled with blood and riotous chaos. The dual torture of spirit and flesh made Durin somewhat frantic.
At this time, those red-eyed Bell Rats were again attracted by the sound Durin made. They bared their fangs and claws, wanting to pounce, but were frightened by the flames burning on Durin's body.
They could only surround Durin while snarling, constantly striking the sewer walls with their weapons, making the piercing sounds echo endlessly in Durin's ears.
He even felt as if his head had been peeled open by someone with a scalpel.
Within his vision, he could sometimes see the surface of the Bell Rats' bodies and sometimes see the vibrant souls pulsing inside their frames.
For some reason, Durin desperately wanted to embrace this madness.
He wanted to kill these damn Bell Rats, char their fur, and smash their limbs. These humanoid rats who thought they were clever didn't deserve to live at all!
A wave of hatred surged from within. Looking at these red-eyed, completely oversized rats that could walk upright like humans—they were a total mistake!
"AAAAHHHHH!"
Destruction, rage, frenzy!
Durin raised the Flanged Mace, which was now burning with an eerie purplish-red fire, so powerful it seemed as if it would completely destroy the entire sewer.
His speed was so fast he could hardly believe it. With one strike, he directly smashed a Bell Rat's skull. The opponent's head exploded with a sizzling sound of searing meat, blood splattering everywhere. Then he swung the Flanged Mace again, smashing it directly into another Bell Rat's shoulder, the smell of charred flesh filling his nostrils.
"You wanted to kill me, right? Now who's dead?! Where are your heads?"
"All of you, die! AAAAHHHHHH!"

Durin let out a hysterical scream, the palm of his left hand feeling both itchy and painful.
With a flick of his hand, a surge of violent, tumultuous flames erupted from Durin's left palm. The searing heat instantly incinerated the several Bell Rats before him into charred remains and ash, their terrified wails echoing incessantly.
The female voice in Durin's mind laughed even more rampantly: "Yes... just like that! Decorate the walls with blood, and paint the earth with fire!!"

"Hahahaha... come! Let me feel your body! Let us share this glory! Mmm-hmm-hmm~"
[Script attempting to close...]
"Let's kill those guys together! Burn their bones to ash! As payment for making me sleep for so long... eh?!!"
[Script closed]
In the next moment, a chill spread from Durin's heart throughout his entire body, and the incessant female voice came to an abrupt halt.
