"Fire!" Lin Yu shouted without hesitation, his voice filled with a desperate determination. Everyone, waking from a dream, raised their rune-powered weapons and fired fiercely at the tentacles. The rune-powered light struck the tentacles like sharp blades, instantly engulfed in light and letting out a chilling scream of pain. However, the number of tentacles was astonishing, seemingly endless, constantly pouring out of the vortex, quickly surrounding everyone. The densely packed tentacles, like a black ocean, made it almost impossible to see a glimmer of hope.
While shooting hard, Ouyang Zhenghao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Lin Yu, this is not a solution. We are running out of ammunition!" His face was covered with sweat, showing tension and fear, as well as fatigue and anxiety in facing the crisis.
Lin Yu watched the increasingly dire situation unfold, his mind racing as he pondered a response. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the blue crystal in his hand, and a glimmer of hope welled up in his heart: perhaps he could use the crystal's power to temporarily suppress the tentacles. Lin Yu took a deep breath, concentrating his energy, and attempted to activate the crystal's power. Under his effort, the crystal shone with a powerful, dazzling blue light, like the breaking light of dawn, slightly dispelling the surrounding darkness and evil. Like an unbreakable blade, the blue light severed the wildly dancing tentacles around him. The severed tentacles fell to the ground, transforming into a pool of black slime, emitting a pungent odor.
Taking advantage of the slight easing of the tentacle's attack, Lin Yu shouted to the team members: "Everyone follow me closely, we must quickly approach the core of the seal and reinforce the seal according to the methods in the ancient books! Success or failure depends on this!"
Led by Lin Yu, the group recklessly rushed towards the core of the seal. As they approached the black vortex, the powerful suction grew stronger, as if to suck their souls out of their bodies. Their bodies teetered under the suction, barely able to stand. Lin Yu gritted his teeth, pulled out the ancient book, and, following the instructions inscribed therein, painstakingly placed the crystal into a rune groove on the platform.
As soon as the crystal was placed in the groove, the rune's light instantly blazed brightly, like a blazing sun, fiercely battling the sinister power of the black vortex. Light and darkness intertwined, colliding to create dazzling sparks, illuminating the entire space as bright as day. Lin Yu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, inject your strength together to help stabilize the crystal's seal! We cannot fail!"
Upon hearing this, the team members poured their unreserved strength into the crystal. Their faces were filled with determination and resolve, as if their very lives were being absorbed into this power. The crystal's radiance, fueled by their combined strength, grew stronger, gradually suppressing the black vortex. The vortex's rotation slowed noticeably, and its suction gradually weakened. However, just as the seal was about to be successfully reinforced, a sinister force, many times more powerful than before, suddenly erupted from the depths of the vortex like a volcanic eruption. This force, like a raging black torrent, carried devastating force, instantly pierced the crystal's radiance, sending the unsuspecting group flying.
Lin Yu fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if all his internal organs were displaced and the pain was unbearable. He struggled to get up from the ground, looking at the seal core that was out of control again, a deep despair welled up in his heart. After all the hardships they had gone through, were they going to fail in the end? Was the world really going to fall into an irretrievable situation? But he quickly came to his senses, no, absolutely not! They couldn't give up, and they were not qualified to give up! He looked at the team members who were also injured but had firm eyes, and shouted: "Everyone cheer up, we can't fail like this! Try again, I believe we can do it! This is our only chance!"
Encouraged by Lin Yu, the team members, despite the pain, struggled to stand up again, step by step, determined to regroup in front of the seal core. They knew this was their last chance; if they failed to successfully reinforce the seal, the world would be doomed. A determined fire burned in each of their eyes, reflecting their dedication to their mission and their unwavering commitment to justice.
Everyone took a deep breath, pouring their final strength into the crystal without reservation. The crystal shone brightly once more, launching a final, desperate battle with the evil force. In the fierce clash of light and darkness, the entire demon tower began to shake violently, as if unable to bear the weight and about to collapse. Stones fell from the top, smashing onto the ground with a deafening roar. Cracks appeared in the walls, as if they would collapse at any moment.
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and prayed silently. Sweat soaked his clothes, but his gaze remained fixed firmly on the crystal and the vortex. Finally, through everyone's tireless efforts, the crystal's light gradually gained the upper hand, sealing the evil force back within the vortex. The black vortex slowly shrank, spinning slower and slower until it finally disappeared. The runes on the platform gradually returned to calm, no longer emitting that chilling red light.
"We succeeded!" Ouyang Zhenghao shouted excitedly, his voice filled with joy and excitement of surviving the disaster.
Everyone looked at the restored calm of the Sealed Core, and smiles of relief and exhaustion appeared on their faces. They had successfully completed their mission, relying on their tenacious will and fearless courage to prevent a disaster that could have destroyed the world.
Lin Yu looked at his team members, feeling deeply moved and proud. "The success of this mission is entirely due to everyone's hard work and dedication. Together, we are protecting this world."
However, before they could bask in the joy of victory, the Demon Tower suddenly began to shake violently again, even more violently than before, as if it were making a final, frantic struggle to reinforce the seal. Lin Yu's face changed, and he shouted, "Oh no! The Demon Tower might collapse! We have to get out of here!"
As if waking from a dream, everyone desperately ran down the stairs. Behind them was the crumbling demon tower. Stones rained down like raindrops, smashing around them and kicking up clouds of dust. They fled frantically on the brink of life and death, every second a race against death. Finally, at the moment when the demon tower was about to collapse completely, they successfully escaped.
Looking back, they saw the seven-story demon tower slowly crumble with a deafening roar, sending up clouds of dust. The dust obscured the sky, threatening to bury the entire world in endless darkness. After this life-or-death ordeal, they successfully completed their mission. This thrilling experience will forever be etched in their hearts, becoming a moving legend in the history of the 749th Incident, inspiring those who followed to bravely forge ahead and never give up in the face of unknown fear and evil.
