After completely eliminating the remnants of the Dark Prophet's consciousness, Night Dynasty entered a relatively stable period, but Chen Xiao's unease lingered like a dark cloud.
One day, a strange incident occurred in the library of the magic academy. A forbidden ancient magic book suddenly shattered, its pages scattering and flying everywhere, each page exuding an eerie black aura.
Wherever these auras reached, magical items malfunctioned, and even the academy's magical shield experienced brief fluctuations.
Chen Xiao realized that this was no accident, but most likely a new conspiracy by the dark forces.
She quickly gathered her companions to study the broken ancient books together.
The text in the ancient books is obscure and difficult to understand, filled with symbols of dark magic and forbidden incantations.
After several days of effort, they finally pieced together a terrifying piece of information from the fragments of the ancient book: the Dark Prophet had made a pact with a much older and more powerful dark organization before his death, and his failure was only part of the plan. This organization would use the power of the ancient book to open a passage to another dark dimension, bringing evil creatures from there into the magical world and completely destroying the existing order.
Based on clues in ancient books, Chen Xiao learned that the location to open the passage was an abandoned ancient castle on the border of the Night Dynasty.
This ancient castle was once the residence of a powerful dark mage, but it was later sealed away and has remained hidden in the mist ever since.
Chen Xiao led his companions to the castle without stopping. Along the way, they encountered various monsters summoned by dark magic.
These monsters came in various shapes and sizes and were extremely powerful, but Chen Xiao and his companions, with their rich combat experience and tacit cooperation, repelled the enemies time and time again.
When they arrived at the castle, they found it shrouded in dark power, with thick black fog permeating the surroundings.
The castle gates were tightly shut, covered with mysterious runes, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
Using his magical knowledge, Chen Xiao deciphered the secrets of the runes and opened the castle gates.
Upon entering the castle, they discovered it was filled with various traps and mechanisms.
During their exploration, they also encountered some souls trapped in the ancient castle, who had become mad and evil under the corruption of dark forces.
Chen Xiao and the others carefully avoided the traps while fighting against these evil spirits.
After a difficult search, they finally found the altar that opened the passage to the dark dimension in the basement of the castle.
At this moment, the members of the Dark Organization had completed most of the rituals in front of the altar, and the passage was about to open.
Chen Xiao and the others immediately rushed forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the members of the dark organization.
The members of the dark organization were all exceptionally powerful, and they used various powerful dark magics in an attempt to prevent Chen Xiao and the others from disrupting the ritual.
Undeterred, Chen Xiao and his companions unleashed their most powerful magic, engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy.
During the battle, Chen Xiao discovered that the enemy's magic was closely related to the records in ancient books. Through in-depth research into the ancient books, she gradually found the flaws in the enemy's magic.
At the critical moment, Chen Xiao concentrated all his magical power and unleashed an ultimate magic that combined light and hope—"Dawn's Light".
The "Dawn of Light" shone brightly, instantly dispelling the surrounding dark forces and defeating all the members of the dark organization.
As the enemy fell, the ritual on the altar was completely destroyed, and the passage to the dark dimension slowly closed.
Chen Xiao and his companions successfully thwarted the dark forces' plot and protected the magical world.
They returned to Yechao in the joy of victory, where they were warmly welcomed and praised by the people.
However, Chen Xiao knew that the dark forces would not give up so easily, and that more challenges awaited them in the future.
She and her companions will continue to stand firm and fight on for the peace and tranquility of the magical world.
After defeating the dark organization and closing the dark dimension portal, Night Dynasty returned to a state of apparent calm.
But Chen Xiao's intuition told her that the shadow of darkness still loomed over the magical world and could return at any moment.
Sure enough, the peaceful days didn't last long, and a series of strange celestial phenomena appeared in the night sky.
The once bright stars became dim and some even disappeared suddenly, replaced by eerie black meteors that streaked across the sky, causing chaos in the magical elements and triggering numerous small magical disasters.
Chen Xiao realized that this was no ordinary celestial phenomenon and that a huge conspiracy must be hidden behind it.
She rallied her friends again to launch an investigation together.
After making inquiries and conducting research, they learned from a reclusive old magician that these strange celestial phenomena were related to a legendary "Star Codex".
It is said that the "Star Codex" contains powerful magic that controls the power of the stars and is the key to maintaining the balance of the magical world.
If the Codex falls into the hands of evil forces, the entire magical world will be plunged into utter ruin.
The old magician also revealed that the "Star Codex" had always been sealed at the most mysterious Star Peak in the Night Dynasty.
The terrain there is treacherous, and it is surrounded by powerful magical storms all year round, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close.
Moreover, the magic circle sealing the Codex is extremely complex, requiring the collection of specific magical tokens to dispel it.
Chen Xiao knew that this matter was urgent, so she decided to lead her companions to the top of the stars to find the "Star Codex" and prevent it from being taken away by the dark forces.
On their way to the summit of the stars, they encountered numerous difficulties.
The magical storm was far more powerful than they had imagined, not only hindering their progress but also unleashing powerful magical attacks from time to time.
