"How will you know if you don't try." Xiaoya's firm words were like ice, and her arrow was already on the string, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
At this critical moment, a burst of light fell from the sky, illuminating the entire core area. A gentle and majestic voice sounded: "The real light comes from the heart, and it can penetrate all darkness."
As the light shone, the figure of the masked man gradually faded, the ceremony was interrupted, and the crisis was resolved. The members of the Alliance of Light looked at each other, with the joy of surviving the disaster and a deeper sense of responsibility in their eyes.
"We have won." Xiaoya whispered, looking at Lin Feng. There was no need for words between the two of them, as they understood each other tacitly.
"But the battle is not over yet." Lin Feng responded, with firmness and foresight in his tone, "As long as the darkness still exists, our mission will not stop."
"You're right," Xiaoya nodded, her eyes firm, "The road to light is long and arduous."
At this time, an old man with a vicissitudes of life slowly walked into the center of the ruins. He was the wise man who enjoyed high prestige in the Alliance of Light - Elder Merlin. He looked around, his eyes full of praise and expectations for the younger generation.
Hope.
"Children, you have proved that light is not only a kind of power, but also a kind of faith." Elder Merlin's voice echoed in the empty ruins, "But as Lin Feng said, darkness will not retreat easily. We need to find the root cause,
Completely cut off its tentacles."
"Elder, you mean..." Xiaoya was thoughtful, her eyes penetrated the layers of fog, and she seemed to have seen a deeper battlefield.
"Yes, the real mastermind behind the scenes." Elder Merlin said solemnly, "Those beings who are hiding in the dark and controlling everything must be exposed to the sun."
"How do we find them?" Lin Feng frowned, knowing that this would be a more difficult journey.
"The answer may lie in everything we have just experienced." Elder Merlin smiled mysteriously, and an ancient fragment with a faint light appeared in his hand. "This fragment was taken back from the ritual that was about to be completed. It contains
With ancient knowledge and power, it may be the key to uncovering the truth."
Xiaoya took the fragment and looked at it carefully, doubts and expectations intertwined in her heart. "This...how should we interpret it?"
"This takes time and the wisdom of all of us." Elder Merlin turned to everyone, "But first, we have to return, consolidate our strength, prepare for the next step. And, announce today's victory to the world, give people hope and
confidence."
The members of the Alliance of Light nodded one after another. Although they were exhausted, their eyes shone with undying fighting spirit. They understood that this victory was just a new beginning.
Just as everyone was preparing to evacuate, a weak but firm voice came from the ruins: "Please... please save me."
They turned around and found a prisoner tied to the altar. His body was covered with scars, but his eyes shone with the desire to survive.
"Who are you?" Lin Feng quickly stepped forward and carefully untied the restraints.
"My name is Aiden. I was once a researcher of the Shadow Army, but I have always been secretly opposed to their atrocities..." Aiden revealed the truth with difficulty. His story is shocking - it turns out that there are also people in the shadow forces who long for the light.
soul.
"Do you know more about their plans?" Xiaoya asked eagerly, realizing that Aiden might have valuable information.
"I know...a few things, including their next target, and...the one hidden behind the shadow..." Aiden's voice became weaker and weaker, but his words were like a bomb, dropping into everyone's heart.
"We must act immediately." Lin Feng ordered decisively, and a new battle was quietly brewing in his heart.
When they returned to the town, they were greeted with a warmer welcome and celebration, but in the joyful atmosphere, Lin Feng and Xiaoya hid in their hearts the heaviness and responsibility for the future. They talked under the stars on the edge of the town.
, the conversation that night was both a summary of the past and a look forward to the future.
"Aiden's information may change everything." Lin Feng said firmly, "We must not only protect the known areas, but also take the initiative and go deep behind enemy lines."
"Yes, and with Aiden's help, we may be able to find more internal cracks." Xiaoya agreed, with both worry and expectation in her eyes.
"But," Lin Feng paused, with a complicated expression, "the price of all this...Aiden, he..."
"We know this is a road of no return," Xiaoya interrupted Lin Feng, with gentle but firm strength in her voice, "but if we choose the light, we must face all this. Aiden's choice also gave us
new Hope."
"You're right," Lin Feng sighed, and then regained his determination, "So, what should we do next?"
Xiaoya smiled slightly, with stars twinkling in her eyes: "The first step is to go deep into the tiger's den and find the 'master' hiding in the dark. Only by understanding everything about the enemy can we formulate the most accurate counterattack plan."
In the night sky, the stars seemed to be listening to their conversation, and countless possible battle scenes seemed to be quietly unfolding behind the pair of light messengers.
"Then, let us set off again." Lin Feng stretched out his hand, palm upward, symbolizing invitation and determination.
Xiaoya did not hesitate, she also stretched out her hand and clasped it with Lin Feng's. "No matter how long and difficult the road ahead is, as long as there is light in your heart, darkness will eventually have nowhere to hide."
"That's right." Lin Feng's eyes flashed with determination, "As long as we join hands, light will bloom in every inch of the land."
At this time, the residents of the small town gathered around, and their conversation aroused people's interest.
"Look, it's our heroes!" an old man exclaimed. His face was covered with traces of time, but the admiration in his eyes shone brightly.
"Do you really want to go deep into the Shadow Land? That is a place where even the bravest warriors dare not set foot easily." A young blacksmith asked in awe, tapping the hammer on the ground casually, for them
Cheer up for the decision.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, we must do this." Xiaoya replied, with unquestionable determination hidden in her gentle smile, "For the world, for the light."
"You are so brave!" A little girl squeezed into the crowd, her eyes full of admiration, holding a wild flower tightly in her hand, "My mother planted this, she said the light messengers will protect us, this is for you
of."
Xiaoya knelt down and took the flowers, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Thank you, little sister. We will protect everyone."
Lin Feng patted the little girl's head and said to the crowd around him: "Don't worry, everyone, the Alliance of Light will never let darkness swallow the light. And your support is our most solid backing."
A burst of applause broke out from the crowd, which was the sound of trust and expectation.
Under the watch of everyone, Lin Feng and Xiaoya embarked on a new journey. They knew that the road ahead would be more dangerous than before, but the faith in their hearts was like a burning flame, lighting up the way forward.
A few days later, Lin Feng, Xiaoya and the newly joined Aiden stood at the border of the shadow forces. A huge castle made of black stone stood in front of them, like a heart of darkness, depressing and gloomy.
"Is this their base camp?" Aiden's voice was trembling, but more decisive.
"Yes, it is also the place where we reveal the last secret." Lin Feng said firmly, his hand gently resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to face the upcoming challenge.
Just as they were preparing to sneak in, a group of patrolling shadow soldiers approached quietly. Xiaoya immediately drew her bow and arrows, while Lin Feng quickly took cover. They cooperated tacitly and solved the threat silently.
"We have to be careful, there are traps and surveillance everywhere here." Aiden reminded that his knowledge came into play at this time, guiding them to a relatively safe infiltration route.
Going deep into the castle, they discovered a secret laboratory full of strange equipment and experimental materials, as well as some imprisoned creatures, their eyes full of fear and despair.
"This is where they create terror." Xiaoya gritted her teeth, anger and sympathy mixed in her heart.
"We must destroy all of this." Lin Feng said solemnly, and they began to destroy the laboratory in an orderly manner and release the imprisoned lives.
Deep in the laboratory, they found a book that recorded the top secrets of the shadow forces. Lin Feng flipped through the pages, his expression becoming more solemn.
"This records their ultimate plan, and...their 'master' is actually a former light messenger who fell into darkness in pursuit of absolute power." Lin Feng's voice echoed in the empty laboratory, filled with emotions.
Incredible.
"How...how could this happen?" Xiaoya couldn't believe it. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making their task more complicated and heavy.
"No matter what, we can't let him succeed." Aiden clenched his fists, and the flames of revenge ignited in his eyes, "I want to personally end this soul that betrays the light."
The three of them were silent for a moment, and then looked at each other. Their eyes conveyed consensus and determination without words. They knew that every next step would determine the fate of the world.
As night fell, there was silence in the castle. Only the three of them moved in the dim light, looking for the core area where the "master" was.
They stopped next to a hidden portal, which was the only way to the "master"'s hiding place.
"Are you ready?" Lin Feng asked, holding the sword tightly in his hand, preparing for the final battle.
"Since we chose the light, we have been ready." Xiaoya replied, with an arrow on the string, ready to shoot an arrow of justice at any time.
Aiden took a deep breath: "I am willing to do anything to make up for the mistakes of the past."
The three stepped into the portal one after another, and the light dissipated behind them, leaving only silence and unknown. In the unknown front, waiting for them will be the final truth and decisive battle, and behind this, is their eternal love for the light.
Extinguished faith and an indomitable fight against darkness.
The moment they passed through the portal, they seemed to have entered another world. The surrounding scenery was unpredictable, and time and space were distorted here. The light flickered and dimmed, and a low murmur came from their ears, like a call from the abyss, or
It's an ancient warning.
"Where...is this place?" Xiaoya's voice seemed particularly small in the empty environment.
"It should be some kind of projection from the spiritual realm, used to confuse the intruder's mind." Aiden analyzed. Although his voice trembled, he revealed his expertise as a former researcher.
"Stay vigilant and concentrate." Lin Feng reminded, the tip of his sword lightly passed through the void, leaving a substantial light, which seemed to be verifying the true nature of this space.
Just as they were moving forward cautiously, a gust of wind came up, blowing up dust and memory fragments all over the sky. Each fragment carried a piece of history, some were glorious and brilliant, and some were dark and tragic.
"Look at these..." Aiden picked up a piece of debris, and the picture reflected on it was the laboratory he was familiar with, but at that time he still had innocent scientific dreams.
"This is not only a test, but also a test of our will." Xiaoya clenched her bow and arrow, her eyes firm, as if telling herself that no matter what happened in the past, she would fight for the light.
As they continued to go deeper, the murmurs in the space became clearer and gradually converged into a low and powerful voice: "Welcome to the mirror of the soul, messengers of light. Here, you will face your deepest fears and
desire."
"Fear? Desire?" Lin Feng sneered, "Our will has long been as solid as a rock, nothing can shake it."
As soon as he finished speaking, three images appeared in the space, namely Lin Feng, Xiaoya and Aiden, but their expressions and postures were completely different - Lin Feng's shadow was troubled by the temptation of power, while Xiaoya's shadow was immersed in endless
Unable to extricate himself from the sadness, Aiden's shadow knelt in front of a shadowy figure, his face full of regret.
"No! This is not the real us!" Xiaoya was the first to shout out. Her belief cannot be tarnished in the slightest.
"Yes, they are just shadows in your heart, magnified." A warm and familiar voice sounded in their hearts, which was the support given by Elder Merlin through spiritual connection, "Facing them and defeating them can you become a true
of myself.”
Inspired, the three of them each faced their own shadows and stopped escaping.
Lin Feng raised his chest to face the phantom of power, his eyes shining with unwavering light: "Real power comes from the purity of the heart, not the authority of the outside world."
Xiaoya hugged her sad self tenderly and comforted softly: "Sorrow makes us grow, but we cannot let it dominate our lives. I have companions and a mission, and I am not alone."
Aiden stood up and looked directly at his once humble self. His voice was full of power: "I have made a choice, and I will use my actions to prove that light is always worth pursuing."
