The ruins are sealed, and a new journey begins
After a life-or-death battle, Lin Yu, Suna, and the old man were physically exhausted, but their spirits were intense. They knew that the evil forces, like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, could strike again at any moment. Therefore, after a brief rest to regain some strength, they immediately set to work preparing to seal the ruins.
The old man, with steady yet slightly weary steps, led them to a secret chamber deep within the ruins. The chamber was filled with an air of antiquity and mystery, as if time had stood still for millennia. In its center stood a massive stone platform, its surface densely engraved with ancient runes and strange patterns. The runes seemed alive, gleaming faintly and mysteriously in the dim light. The patterns depicted ancient, mysterious rituals and unknown creatures, as if telling a story lost in time.
The old man looked solemn, his eyes revealing solemnity and awe, and he slowly said: "Here is the core of the seal. We must make use of the ancient power contained here, combined with the power of the artifact, to completely seal the ruins and let this mysterious power sleep forever. However, this process is extremely dangerous, like walking on the edge of a knife. Once there is the slightest mistake, not only will the ruins fail to be successfully sealed, but we will also most likely fall into an irretrievable place, trapped forever in this endless dark abyss." The old man's voice echoed in the secret room, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Yu and Suna's hearts hard.
Lin Yu tightly grasped the sword in his hand, which was emitting a soft glow, with a determined fire burning in his eyes. He said without hesitation: "Senior, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, this is the responsibility we must bear. We must never let the evil forces succeed, and we must never let this mysterious power fall into their hands and bring disaster to the world." Lin Yu's voice was firm and powerful, as if declaring their determination to the whole world.
Su Na also nodded vigorously, with a determined light in her eyes, and said, "Yes, we will face it together. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will not back down." Although Su Na's voice was not as loud as Lin Yu's, it was full of tenacity, making people feel her inner strength.
The old man looked at them with satisfaction, his eyes showing approval, and said, "Okay, let's start immediately. Lin Yu, you insert the sword into the groove of the stone platform to connect the power of the artifact with the seal core. Suna, you assist me on the side. We need to activate the runes in a specific order. If we are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lin Yu took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward. He could feel the sword in his hand, as if it too had sensed the call of duty, trembling slightly, its light growing ever brighter. He aligned the sword with the groove of the stone platform and slowly inserted it. Instantly, the sword's light blazed brightly, a light like a supernova, illuminating the entire chamber and echoing with the runes on the stone platform. The runes, like a lit fuse, glowed ever stronger, transforming the entire chamber into a sea of light.
The old man and Suna sprang into action. The old man muttered something, his hands dancing across the stone platform like a phantom, touching the runes. Suna watched his movements intently, following closely behind him, activating the runes in a specific sequence. The runes shimmered with a strange and brilliant light, gradually interweaving to form a vast and complex magic circle. Within the circle, mysterious symbols and patterns swirled and shifted, as if constructing a mystical world.
However, just as the formation was about to be completed, a sudden and violent tremor erupted, as if the entire earth were shaking. Cracks began to appear in the chamber's walls, spreading rapidly like a spiderweb. Stones loosened and fell, hitting the ground with a dull thud. Lin Yu was startled, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that the evil forces are causing trouble again? How could they have detected the movement of the seal so quickly?" Lin Yu's eyes revealed vigilance and worry, and he gripped his sword tightly, ready to respond to any possible danger.
The old man looked solemn, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He said, "I'm afraid the power of the seal is too strong, causing instability inside the ruins. This power is conflicting with the original power of the ruins. We must speed up, otherwise all our previous efforts will be wasted." There was a hint of anxiety in the old man's voice, but he still tried to stay calm and direct the action.
Suna looked at the magic circle nervously, her eyes full of concentration and anxiety, and said, "There are only a few runes left to complete, we must hold on. We must not let all this be ruined." Suna's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were extremely firm, and her hands moved faster and faster.
At that moment, a massive black tentacle suddenly thrust out from a crack in the wall, like a black python, clawing at Lin Yu. The tentacle's surface was rough and uneven, covered in mucus, and exuded a sickening stench. Lin Yu reacted quickly, swinging his sword and slashing at the tentacle. The sword, gleaming with a sharp light, struck the tentacle with a resounding clang, like the tolling of a bell, sending sparks flying. However, the tentacle merely trembled slightly before continuing its clawing motion towards Lin Yu, as if the blow had had no effect on it.
Seeing this, the old man immediately cast a spell. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted an ancient incantation. A dazzling beam of light shot out from his hands, like a sharp arrow, accurately striking the tentacle. The tentacle, in pain, let out a low roar and retreated. But then, more tentacles extended from all sides, surrounding Lin Yu and the old man like a black tide. The tentacles waved and attacked them continuously, and the air was filled with tension and danger.
