Samir brandished his longsword at the evil god, "Since there's no way to hide, we have no choice but to face it head-on! Lilia, have you found the location of the seal?"
Lilia nodded in response, "That's right, it's locked on. It's right in front of that huge iron gate. But it doesn't look as easy to get through as we thought." Just as she finished speaking, they heard a series of heavy footsteps approaching from not far away. Clearly, the other side wasn't going to give them any chance to catch their breath.
"This is a tricky situation, but we're not going to give up easily, right?" Chen Ge's voice, though somewhat weary, was still full of fighting spirit. At that moment, a dazzling beam of light once more condensed in her hand, tracing a bright path in the darkness. She then announced to the group, "My shield can hold for a while longer. During this time, please make sure to seize the opportunity to break through the obstacle before you!"
A girl watching tightly gripped her boyfriend's arm and whispered in surprise, "Are they going to just barge in...? I'm so nervous, this is like a real-life hero's legend!" The boy replied in as calm a tone as possible, "Yeah, I never expected to see such an intense confrontation today... Miss Lilia is truly admirable."
Meanwhile, Samir had begun leading several strong warriors in an attempt to breach the massive stone gate blocking their path. "Heave-ho—!" With a unified shout, the seemingly impenetrable barrier slowly slid open a crack. However, just as they were about to rush in, they suddenly sensed a chilling aura emanating from the gap, as if something ominous awaited them…
Rex keenly sensed the danger signal and quickly stepped forward to shield his teammates behind him. "Wait! There's something wrong here. Let me check it out first before we act." Before he finished speaking, he had already activated his defensive stance, while signaling the mages behind him to prepare for any unexpected situations.
At this moment, another boy who had been watching from a distance couldn't contain his curiosity and stepped forward to ask, "Hey, you guys using fire magic, do you think you'll succeed?"
The guardian glanced back at the audacious young man who had asked the question, and gave him a meaningful smile in response: "Of course. It just might not be as easy as you imagine..." He then refocused his attention on the final battle that was about to unfold before him.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a beam of dark blue light suddenly illuminated the entire underground space. "So this is where the core area is located... It's truly extraordinary," Lilia murmured.
Almost simultaneously, the ancient evil god, which had remained silent until now, let out a low, hoarse roar once more. "How dare you trespass on my forbidden land... I will make you regret ever being born into this world!" After saying this, its form became even larger and more distorted and terrifying, and the intense energy fluctuations made everyone lose their footing.
Seeing this, the elderly man who had been silently following the group couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly incredible! Although we know the odds are slim, seeing these young people bravely facing the challenge is still incredibly inspiring... Perhaps this is what true heroes should look like!"
Anna took over the command at that moment: "Listen up, teammates, we must now go all out to make that final push! No matter how many unknown difficulties await us, believe that as long as we are united, there is no problem we cannot overcome!" Her eyes were firm and full of strength, clearly showing her confidence in what was about to happen.
The final battle horn had sounded, and the air was thick with an even stronger stench of blood. "Are you ready? We're about to face the final boss!" Lilia turned around and smiled at her companions, her voice devoid of any fear.
Rex raised his weapon and replied boldly, "We'll be waiting for you anytime! Let's create miracles together, for our friends and supporters who are watching us silently!"
And so, the entire adventure team, high in morale and working together, embarked on the path leading to the depths of the mysterious seal...
The massive iron gate was slowly pushed open by the combined efforts of the group, and a deep blue light poured out from within. This mysterious and powerful force caused the surrounding air to tremble slightly. Samir, longsword in hand, stood at the forefront, his eyes resolute. "Everyone, prepare for battle! Whatever dangers await us ahead, we must press on!"
A passing merchant stopped in his tracks, staring in astonishment at the heroes about to venture into the unknown depths. "My God... could they really have found the sealed land of ancient legends? The stories in those books are actually coming true... it's amazing!" The merchant's friend also stopped to watch, exclaiming, "That's right! Look at Miss Lilia and that warrior (referring to Samir), they're like heroes straight out of mythology."
When the last obstacle disappeared, everyone was finally able to see the enormous being hidden in the depths of darkness, radiating an indescribable aura of terror—the evil god. It was surrounded by constantly churning and surging spheres of energy, exuding a suffocatingly powerful sense of oppression.
Just then, a group of travelers who had originally planned to leave the area but were forced to stay due to the sudden and unusual fluctuations gathered together. "What happened? Why is there such a strong energy reaction here..." One of the experienced warriors looked at his equally puzzled friend with a questioning gaze.
"Look! Isn't that the legendary source of evil?" the young female mage whispered to her companion. Her face was filled with longing for the unknown world and curiosity about what was about to happen.
While the onlookers were speculating and gossiping, Samir led his team to meet the challenge head-on. "Attention everyone! Intelligence indicates the enemy's main attack methods are mental magic and shadow summons." His words were like a stabilizing force, giving his team immense courage and confidence. "As long as we unite and remain calm, with Lilia and Anna's assistance, it's entirely possible to defeat this guy!"
Upon hearing these words, a chorus of exclamations arose from the onlookers. "They were so well-prepared...it's truly admirable!" exclaimed a muscular man. Another young woman added enviously, "I wish I could be a hero like that...but unfortunately, I'm just an ordinary girl."
Just as the battle was about to break out, the evil god suddenly let out a deafening laugh. "Foolish humans! Countless beings who have tried to challenge me throughout history have been defeated by me, and now you are just repeating the same mistakes!" After saying this, an even stronger power instantly filled the entire area, almost causing many people to fall to the ground.
Feeling the powerful impact, the children watching from a distance trembled with fear and hid behind their parents. "Daddy... what's happening? Why are there such scary monsters..." one child cried, pleading with his father. The father could only try to comfort him, saying, "Don't be afraid, baby. Those brave people will protect us. Look, isn't Miss Lilia preparing to unleash her ultimate attack?"
Just as her father had predicted, in the ensuing silence, Lilia raised her staff, using the previously located spot to channel a surge of light energy into a single point. As she softly chanted an ancient incantation, vibrant rings of energy gradually expanded outwards, eventually covering the entire battlefield…
At the same time, Chen Ge mobilized all her spiritual power to support her friend in casting this spell. "Go for it, Lilia! Let's work together to drive this evil out of this land!" Her words seemed to give everyone boundless confidence and courage.
However, just as everyone was anticipating how this contest would end, the evil god seemed largely unconcerned. "Hahaha, this little bit of light is nothing to me! Now, I'll show you something truly terrifying..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding black light erupted from his body. Rex reacted instantly to the sudden change, shouting, "Everyone be careful! Quickly find cover and minimize your exposure!"
Lilia was also caught off guard: "This... its power can still increase? It seems that sealing it successfully won't be such a simple matter..."
