Chapter 255 Shadow Battle and Mysterious Source
Within the dark passage, surging black shadows enveloped Huanmo and the others like a tidal wave. Each shadow carried a sinister aura, their twisted forms appearing particularly eerie under the light of the divine artifacts. The air seemed frozen by this dark power, oppressive and suffocating.
Huanmo's heart pounded. He gripped his artifact tightly, his eyes filled with determination. "Everyone, stand back to back! Don't panic!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the passage, trying to calm everyone. At this moment, he was worried about his companions' safety while also pondering how to break through the encirclement of shadows.
Ling'er's body trembled uncontrollably, fear coiling around her heart like a venomous snake. But looking at Huanmo's resolute back, she forced back her fear and said, "Brother Huanmo, I will try my best not to hold everyone back." She clutched the book tightly, hoping to find a sliver of strength within it to help everyone.
Wanru and the woman in white quickly moved closer, standing back to back. Although Wanru's weapon was damaged, she still wielded it with great force, her eyes filled with fearlessness. "These shadows, watch how I shatter them to pieces!" The woman in white, meanwhile, focused intently on gathering her spiritual power, preparing to unleash a powerful spell, her eyes revealing calmness and concentration.
The mysterious man frowned, his staff gleaming faintly. "These shadows aren't physical entities; ordinary attacks won't be enough to completely destroy them. We need to find a more effective method." As he spoke, he observed the shadows' movements, trying to find a weakness.
Huanmo launched the first attack, wielding his divine weapon, beams of light slashing at the shadowy figures like sharp blades. The shadowy figures vanished instantly upon being struck, only to be quickly replaced by new ones. "This can't go on; the shadows keep coming!" Huanmo thought anxiously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Ling'er struggled to open the scroll, her trembling hands searching for a suitable spell. "Found it, this might work!" she muttered, and a soft, purifying light shone from the scroll, illuminating the surrounding shadows. Under the purifying light, the shadows dissipated noticeably faster.
Seeing this, Wanru and the woman in white perked up. Wanru seized the opportunity to intensify her attacks, aiming each swing of her weapon at the area where the shadows were concentrated. The woman in white, in coordination with Ling'er's purifying light, cast area-of-effect spells, causing more shadows to vanish in the light.
The mysterious figure closed his eyes, concentrating on sensing the flow of dark energy around him. "I think I've found the direction of their energy flow! Everyone, follow me!" he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, then walked towards one side of the passage. The others followed closely behind, fending off the attacks of the shadowy figures as they advanced in the direction the mysterious figure had indicated.
However, as they moved, the shadows seemed to sense the threat, and their attacks became even more frenzied. The shadows no longer simply pounced on the group; instead, they began to merge, forming larger, more powerful shadow monsters that posed a significant obstacle to their progress.
Huanmo's heart sank as he looked at the shadowy monster that had formed from the fusion. "Everyone be careful, this monster is not easy to deal with!" He gripped his divine weapon tightly, preparing for a difficult battle.
Ling'er's purifying light was clearly less effective against the shadow monster, but she didn't give up, constantly adjusting the strength and direction of her spells. "Brother Huanmo, I'll keep thinking of ways!" Her eyes were filled with determination.
Wanru and the woman in white exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly. Wanru rushed towards the shadow monster to draw its attention, while the woman in white searched for its weakness from behind. The shadow monster swung its massive arm, aiming a blow at Wanru, who nimbly dodged the attack while simultaneously looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
The mysterious figure continuously cast spells, attempting to disrupt the shadow monster's movements. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed a burst of runic power at the monster's leg, instantly slowing its movements.
Seizing the opportunity, Huanmo leaped into the air and plunged the divine artifact into the monster's body. The artifact shone brightly, unleashing a powerful force that instantly tore the shadow monster apart. The shadow monster let out a piercing scream and vanished into countless black shadows in the air.
Before they could catch their breath, the group continued in the direction the mysterious figure had indicated. As they moved forward, they noticed strange symbols appearing on the walls of the passage. These symbols shimmered faintly, seemingly connected to the dark energy of the shadowy figure.
As the group ventured deeper, a massive black crystal appeared ahead. The crystal emanated a powerful aura of darkness, from which shadowy figures continuously poured forth. "This is the source of the shadows?" Huanmo stared at the black crystal, his heart filled with apprehension.
The mysterious figure stepped forward and carefully examined the crystal. "This crystal contains powerful dark energy; we must proceed with caution. Destroying it rashly could lead to even more serious consequences," he said, his eyes revealing worry.
Just then, the black crystal suddenly trembled violently, and beams of black light shot out from it, heading towards the group. Huanmo quickly raised his divine artifact, forming a shield that blocked the attack of the light.
"Everyone be careful! This crystal seems to sense our threat," Huanmo shouted. The group braced themselves, preparing for an even fiercer battle. However, they knew nothing of the secrets hidden behind the black crystal, nor whether they could destroy it without causing a catastrophe. In this perilous moment, what would become of them? Everything remained uncertain; a tense atmosphere, like a thick gloom, enveloped them…
