Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The Convergence of Darkness
Four rays of radiance intertwined, and through that huge opening, they entered an unknown world. The air was filled with a strong sense of magic, completely different from their previous trials. This time, the power of darkness seems to be lurking in the darkness, waiting for their arrival.
The cave slowly closed, and the hearts of the four people instantly became heavy. The world around them gradually became clear, and the four of them stood in a vast shadow. The sky here is a silent deep blue, as if it could tear apart at any moment, pouring out endless darkness.
This is a sense of oppression, as if something is watching us, "Zeyu broke the silence, his voice low and his eyes flickering with vigilance.
We must remain vigilant, after all, this is a place that leads to darkness. "Yun Yi also felt the tension in the atmosphere, and his unease gradually intensified.
Anna looked around and saw several twisted figures faintly visible in the distance, as if wandering in the darkness. What should we do? This place is not right
First, find a safe place and observe the situation around you, "Lorraine analyzed. Despite feeling a bit scared, she still tried to stay calm.
The four of them clenched their weapons tightly and slowly moved forward. As they delved deeper, the shadows around them grew stronger, as if every step was sending them some kind of warning. Just then, a sudden gust of cold wind hit, and the air around instantly became chilly.
It seems that we have been discovered, "Yun Yi said alertly. Just as he finished speaking, a figure quickly leaped out of the darkness and charged straight towards them.
Anna reflexively raised her hand and released a stream of water, blocking the incoming shadow. With the impact of the water flow, the shadow briefly stood still, seeming to have been injured by the impact, but quickly recovered, revealing its true form - a twisted dark creature with a thin body, exceptionally long limbs, and a cold light in its eyes.
Attention! They are dark creatures! "Zeyu pleaded. After all, they had seen similar beings in trials, but they didn't expect to encounter them again in this place.
The dark creature roared loudly, its voice like a tearing wind, instantly attracting more shadows around it. However, in the face of the sudden enemy, the four of them did not retreat, but instead united even more closely together.
Don't let them scatter! We must work together! "Lorraine shouted loudly.
So, the four of them began to fight side by side in the darkness. Yun Yi's sharp flames burned in his hands and shot towards the first black shadow. Anna's use of water magic gradually became the core of controlling the battle situation. Her water flow is both attack and protection, capable of impacting dark creatures and creating protective barriers for her teammates.
Separate a little bit, let me guide these shadows! "Zeyu shouted. He walks flexibly on the battlefield, and with just a gentle leap, he can dodge the attacks of dark creatures.
Okay! "Lorraine quickly responded, summoning a earthen wall to block several dark shadows, allowing Zeyu's counterattack to be effectively implemented.
As they continued to cooperate, the dark creatures were gradually repelled and seemed to realize the danger of this group of people. But just as they thought they would easily win, the shadows around suddenly began to gather, forming a huge dark vortex.
What is this? "Anna exclaimed, feeling a strong sense of unease.
Quick, don't let them gather! "Yun Yi realized this and quickly attacked the vortex with flames, but the flames were swallowed up at the moment they touched the vortex.
I'll give it a try! "Lorraine released her excavation magic towards the vortex, hoping to create obstacles. The result was also to no avail, as the earth and stones were swept away like floating duckweed in front of the magic vortex.
It's over, we can't let the shadows continue to gather anymore! "Zeyu exclaimed anxiously.
We must use our strength to break this vortex! "Yun Yi calmly commanded," Concentrate all our strength and charge the vortex
Okay! "The four of them responded in unison, feeling a strong sense of tacit understanding in their hearts in an instant.
They quickly activated their elemental magic, forming a vortex of power that rushed towards the dark vortex. Flames, water currents, air, and soil intertwine to form a dazzling light, approaching the vortex. The power of this collaboration shook the surrounding shadows, as if resisting that massive energy.
However, at this moment, the dark vortex was torn apart by the power of the fighters, revealing a deep and cold space. The four of them were tightly interdependent, their hearts filled with anxiety and fear.
On the other end of the vortex, an even larger dark creature appeared, with a massive figure covered in countless shadows. It seemed to be the embodiment of darkness, emitting a low and majestic roar that oppressed their souls.
We cannot back down here, we must fight to the end! "Zeyu shouted loudly, despite panic in his heart, still unwilling to give up.
Four people working together, I believe we can definitely overcome it! "Lorraine clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and was determined to face the upcoming challenge with everyone.
As the dark creatures approached, their heartbeats became even more intense. Yun Yi rushed up first, and the flames in his hand were like the faith of a war god, reaching straight towards the creature, accompanied by the sound of explosions surging like a flood.
Anna followed closely behind, unleashing the strongest water flow to break through the defense of the dark creatures. Zeyu wandered flexibly around the periphery, seeking opportunities, while Lorraine provided support for everyone from the rear, and the earth wall covered the four of them like a solid shield.
Strike! "Yun Yi shouted first, and flames rolled up the earth under his guidance, striking the abdomen of the dark creature. The impact of the heat and power instantly made the dark creature stumble and involuntarily retreat.
Don't give it a chance! "Anna took the opportunity to strike from the side, and the water flowed like a long snake, trying to pull it down.
I'll do it! "Lorraine used all her strength to cast the unearthed magic, and the spear she formed suddenly plunged into the body of the dark creature, receiving an effective blow.
With the precise arrival of the attack, the massive dark creature finally showed a hint of struggle. With its mournful roar, the shadows around began to tremble, as if mourning its failure.
Continue to attack! "Zeyu concentrated his strength again, using Blade Wind to constantly interfere with the attack frequency of the dark creature, attempting to weaken its power.
This time, the four of them cooperated more seamlessly, unleashing each other's strength and creating a strong fighting atmosphere. As time passed, the resistance of dark creatures gradually weakened, and the shadows around them began to recede.
At the final critical moment, the four of them released all their strength once again, and the screams of the dark creatures cut through the night sky, shattering into pieces with a loud bang and dissipating into the air.
When the last cold shadow came to an end and everything returned to calm, the four of them stopped together, gasping for breath and looking incredulously at the gradually clearer environment around them.
We... succeeded? "Anna's face was shocked, still digesting the intense impact she had just experienced.
Yes, we defeated it, "Yun Yi smiled, exhausted but relieved.
However, this is not over yet, the darkness around is still spreading, "Lorraine reminded, her eyes alert.
At this moment, as the darkness dissipated, a huge door appeared in front of the four people, engraved with ancient words and emitting a mysterious radiance.
This door seems to be the key to the next trial, "said Zeyu, filled with anticipation and unease.
Let's take the next step together, no matter what the future holds, let's face it together! "Yun Yi said firmly.
The four of them exchanged a smile, filled with faith, and walked towards the ancient and mysterious door, ready to face even more difficult challenges. In this dark and receding light, they seemed to see hope and the future ahead.
