Chapter 209 The Reversal of Light and the Backlash of Darkness
Huanmo watched helplessly as cracks appeared on the surface of the black sphere, a spark of hope igniting in his heart. However, this spark seemed so small and fragile in the ink-black darkness within the black hole. He gripped his sword tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand. Although his body was in excruciating pain from the previous impact, every joint feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, his will to survive kept him going.
"This light... might really save us!" Huanmo murmured to himself, his chapped lips trembling slightly with excitement. His gaze was fixed on the point where the light clashed with the black sphere, silently praying that the light would gain the upper hand. At this moment, his heart was filled with contradictions; he both hoped that the light could resolve the current crisis and feared that the shadowy figure might launch an even more terrifying counterattack.
Ling'er gazed at the light emanating from the scroll, tears welling in her eyes—a mixture of fear and a yearning for victory. "Brother Huanmo, I...I will do my best!" Her voice trembled, yet she poured all her strength into the scroll, trying to make the light even brighter. Her face flushed red from the effort, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. Only one thought occupied her mind: to survive with everyone.
Wanru also witnessed the changes in the black sphere. Suppressing her pain, she once again placed the jade flute to her lips, playing an even more stirring melody. The flute's sound echoed wildly within the black hole, like surging waves crashing against the shadowy form. She knew in her heart that she could not afford the slightest slackening now; she had to do everything in her power to buy time for Ling'er, allowing the light to completely disintegrate the black sphere. "We cannot lose, absolutely not!" Wanru gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve.
The woman in white was equally busy. She gently stroked the zither again, her fingers slightly numb from the excessive consumption of spiritual energy, yet she still played a ethereal and resilient melody. The music transformed into invisible threads, wrapping around the black sphere, attempting to slow its advance and simultaneously weakening the shadow's defenses. Her gaze was resolute, and she silently vowed to overcome this challenge together with her companions.
The mysterious figure, while observing the changes in the black sphere, rapidly gathered the remaining spiritual energy within his body. His brow furrowed, his eyes deep and focused, he tried to find the shadowy figure's next weakness amidst the chaos. "This shadowy figure must have more tricks up its sleeve; we must remain vigilant," the mysterious figure said in a low voice, his words striking like a heavy hammer against everyone's hearts.
Just as everyone was giving it their all, the cracks on the surface of the black sphere rapidly widened under the light. A series of cracking sounds rang out, like the prelude to the impending shattering of darkness. Finally, with a deafening boom, the black sphere shattered completely under the impact of the light, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the darkness.
"We did it!" Huanmo couldn't help but shout, his joy overflowing like a burst dam. His companions also smiled with relief; although they were exhausted, this brief victory gave them hope for survival.
However, the shadowy figure seemed unwilling to give up. It let out a deafening roar, causing the entire black hole to tremble. The once calm dark space instantly became turbulent, as dark power swept towards everyone like a raging tsunami. The shadowy figure's body began to swell, growing even larger, its eyes flashing with blood-red light, as if burning with endless fury.
"Oh no, the shadowy figure is going all out!" Huanmo was startled; the joy he had just felt was instantly replaced by fear. He looked at the shadowy figure, which had become even more terrifying, and inwardly groaned. They had just exhausted their strength to shatter the black sphere, and now they simply didn't have enough spiritual energy to deal with the shadowy figure's all-out counterattack.
"Everyone be careful, prepare to defend!" Huanmo shouted, raising his sword again, though he knew it might be futile, he still refused to give up. Wanru, the woman in white, and Ling'er quickly huddled together. Ling'er released the light from the scroll again, forming a defensive barrier around them. Wanru and the woman in white poured their remaining spiritual energy into the barrier, attempting to strengthen its defenses.
The mysterious man rapidly formed hand seals while chanting incantations. A mysterious runic power appeared before everyone, merging with Ling'er's defensive barrier. "This is my last bit of power. I hope it can withstand the shadow's attack," the mysterious man said, his voice tinged with weariness and helplessness.
The dark figure roared, wielding its enormous black hand, and slammed it down towards the group. Wherever the hand passed, space seemed to tear apart, emitting a piercing hissing sound. Huanmo and the others felt an immense pressure bearing down on them; their defensive barriers trembled violently under the impact of the black hand, cracking as if they were about to shatter at any moment.
"Hold on! Everyone, you must hold on!" Huanmo shouted, his voice hoarse from tension and effort. He could feel the defensive barrier crumbling, and despair filled his heart. But he knew that giving up now meant death, and he had to encourage everyone to persevere.
Just as the defensive barrier was about to shatter, the scroll in Ling'er's hand suddenly flashed with light, and a mysterious rune flew out of the book and merged into the defensive barrier. The defensive barrier instantly shone brightly, actually withstanding the attack from the dark figure.
"What... is this?" Huanmo stared at the scroll in surprise, his mind filled with doubt. He didn't know where this rune came from, nor how much time it could buy them.
The shadowy figure seemed surprised by this sudden change. It paused for a moment, then let out another angry roar. Immediately afterward, rings of black light appeared around its body, containing powerful dark energy, as if brewing an even more powerful attack.
Will this mysterious rune continue to help them withstand the shadow's next attacks? Will Huanmo and the others find an opportunity during the shadow's fiercer counterattack to deliver a fatal blow and escape their predicament completely? Everything remains uncertain, and their fate is still as precarious as a candle in the wind...
