Witchvania: The Curse of the Countess Cavendish EN

The clock tower

Countess Cavendish Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland

The journey through the castle still continues, although Chariot had already returned to normal and got rid of the mind control, there were still some things that were happening in the meantime, the main group of girls were starting to arrive in the penultimate area of the castle before reaching the fortress where Bernadette was waiting for them, the clock tower is the next step for the girls to reach the vampire, but for that they will have to pass through the most difficult area of the whole place, which will be full of challenges and many extremely strong and powerful creatures, all this while the other group was also going towards the meeting with them, the great moment that will determine what this journey will lead.

After the defeat of Elizabeth the six girls pass through the door that gives in a room that already shows that they were in the clock tower, kind of already facing some gears, besides the jellyfish heads present there, but that wasn't even the main tower, it was just a mechanism one, also present there are again flea mens with armours that are jumping from one gear to the other trying to hit the girls with everything.

Akko: These little midgets around here, what a pain in the ass, I hate having to deal with these things, but come on.

Diana and Hellene already went ahead flying dematerialized, simply distracting the flea men that ended up jumping and falling from the high gears and crashing on the ground while the girls below dealt with the jellyfish heads and other of those flea men that were still alive, Lotte uses a glyph and Marianne and Akko climb on top of the magic, which then propels them all the way up, arriving at the same point where Diana and Hellene were.
Then Lotte and Sucy were the next to propel themselves and this way the two dhampirs get out of hanging upside down with their feet supported on a pipe, they get out of there and still with some creatures pass through the door, where they find an open area where it's already possible to see the castle fortress getting huge and close and also the clock tower.
That whole open part of the castle was where an open hall was and there were some creatures dancing in front of the place, besides the broken bridges, what they are taking advantage of and going forward, but they are soon noticed by ghost skulls that are going towards the two.

Diana: Remember when we were children and the clock tower was one of the places we played? It was prettier, it wasn't in ruins, there were even some little devils that used to play with us, they were very friendly with us.

Hellene: Passing through here brings back some of those memories, Mama Laura loved this place, she always came here, or else she went to the alchemy lab that was near here, only it's moved, to think that now we're killing creatures that used to be our friends, that's what pisses me off the most.

Diana: That's basically what happened to me when I left here, it was a shock to go out killing creatures that were used to being so friendly to me suddenly became hostile, I had to go out with my sword cutting and clearing the way, helping Croix I had to save her life several times, it amazes me how she got that far, but here we are, come on.

The six go running and jumping from bridge to bridge of the fragments, right in the middle of that path where it was full of creatures walking from side to side underneath, including some archer skeletons that were trying to hit the girls, but Sucy was there to save a little hitting the creatures trying to commit something against the group.
On the bridge itself also appeared some spectral swords that were being knocked down by attacks from Diana that passed dematerialized then made cuts, already Akko was opening from the front since the path was full of flea mens with armors.

Akko: As always these things come to us, but they fall apart very quickly with my cuts.

Hellene: You don't even leave the best for us, they all come already chopped up back here.
