A fierce battle with the mysterious man, the truth gradually emerges
The mysterious man waved his staff, and the black smoke, like the tentacles of a demon, pounced on Lin Yu and Suna with its fangs and claws. Lin Yu quickly pulled Suna sideways to avoid it, and the smoke brushed against the corners of their clothes, leaving a charred patch on the ground.
Lin Yu held the sword, its blade gleaming brightly. He stared at the mysterious man, pondering his attack pattern. "This guy's magic is very strange. We must be careful and seize the opportunity to strike back."
Suna nodded, her eyes firm, and responded in a low voice: "I will pay attention to find opportunities and cooperate with you in the attack." As she spoke, she quietly summoned several poisonous insects, which circled around her, waiting for the order to attack.
Seeing that his attack missed, the mysterious man let out a sinister laugh and waved his staff again. This time, countless black bats swarmed out from all directions, their eyes flashing with strange red light, screaming and rushing towards Lin Yu and Suna.
Lin Yu shouted loudly and swung his sword. The blade shone with golden light, slashing at the approaching bats one after another. The bat corpses fell one after another, turning into a pool of black liquid. However, there were so many bats, and they kept coming, and Lin Yu gradually became unable to cope.
Suna seized the opportunity and directed the insect towards the mysterious man. Like a streak of multicolored lightning, the insect rapidly approached its target. The mysterious man sensed the insect's attack and snorted coldly. A black barrier instantly appeared before him. The insect collided with the barrier, making a sizzling sound and was repelled.
"Is that all you can do?" the mysterious man sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
Lin Yu's heart was burning with rage. He concentrated his mind and gathered his strength on the sword. The sword shone brightly, and he rushed towards the mysterious man, shouting, "Then try this!"
Seeing this, the mysterious man remained calm. He held his staff in both hands and muttered something. The ground suddenly cracked open, and several thick black vines stretched out, wrapping around Lin Yu. Lin Yu was agile, weaving between the vines, constantly approaching the mysterious man.
While the mysterious man was focused on Lin Yu, Su Na directed the poisonous insects to attack again. This time, the insects attacked from different directions, making it difficult for the mysterious man to focus on both. The mysterious man's attention was distracted, and the rhythm of the black vines' attacks was also disrupted.
Lin Yu seized the opportunity, cut off a vine with a sword, and then jumped in front of the mysterious man with the force, and stabbed the mysterious man's chest with the sword. The mysterious man hurriedly used his staff to block it, and with a "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere.
Lin Yu felt a powerful force coming from the sword, which made his arm numb. The mysterious man took the opportunity to kick Lin Yu, and Lin Yu flew back several steps.
Su Na quickly ran over, supported Lin Yu, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"
Lin Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay. This guy is a bit tricky, but we can definitely defeat him."
The mysterious man looked at them and sneered, "You are truly tenacious, but this is in vain. When I complete the ritual, you will all die, and this town will be plunged into darkness."
Lin Yu was shocked and asked, "Why are you doing this? The people in this town have no grudge against you."
The mysterious man's eyes turned fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No grudges? Their ancestors sealed my power, and I will make them pay the price."
Lin Yu was puzzled and asked, "Who are you? What power is sealed?"
The mysterious man didn't answer and attacked again. He slammed his staff to the ground, sending a black shockwave towards Lin Yu and Suna. Lin Yu raised his sword to block it, the sword's light shimmering against the black shockwave.
Suna anxiously searched for the mysterious man's flaws. Suddenly, she discovered that when the mysterious man launched a powerful attack, a rune would appear at the bottom of his staff. When the rune flashed, his movements would be slightly slowed down.
"Lin Yu, attack the rune at the bottom of his staff!" Suna shouted.
Hearing this, Lin Yu took advantage of the gap when the mysterious man attacked again, and regardless of the strong pressure of the black shock wave, he rushed towards the mysterious man. He saw the moment when the rune flashed and stabbed the bottom of the staff with his sword.
The mysterious man sensed Lin Yu's intention and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sword pierced the rune, and with a "crack", a crack appeared on the staff. The mysterious man roared in pain, and the black shockwave dissipated instantly.
Lin Yu took advantage of the victory and attacked the mysterious man with several more sword strikes. The mysterious man retreated repeatedly, and his body was scratched by the sword in many places.
Just as Lin Yu was about to deliver the final blow, the mysterious man suddenly threw a black smoke bomb. The smoke instantly filled the entire room. When the smoke dissipated, the mysterious man had disappeared.
Lin Yu and Su Na searched everywhere but found nothing. "He got away," Lin Yu said with some frustration.
Suna comforted him, "It's okay. We know part of his purpose, so we've gained something. Moreover, we also know the weakness of his staff. We will definitely be able to catch him next time."
Lin Yu nodded, looked around, and said, "It seems that the secrets of this town are more complicated than we thought. We have to stay and continue investigating."
Suna agreed, "Yes, we can't let the mysterious man succeed. We have to protect this town."
So, Lin Yu and Suna decided to stay in the town and delve deeper into the mysterious man's origins and the sealed power he spoke of. What new clues will they uncover in the town? What new plots will the mysterious man have? Everything remains unknown, but they are ready to face the new challenges.
Lin Yu vowed to himself, "No matter where you hide, I will find you and stop your plot." Suna clenched her fists, determined to uncover the truth and protect the peace of this small town. With unwavering conviction, they began their investigation, but danger seemed to be creeping in...
