After obtaining the Star Codex, Chen Xiao thought the magical world would usher in a relatively long period of peace.
However, the peace lasted only a few months before strange phenomena began to appear at the Night Dynasty's magic academy.
When students practice magic, their magic often goes out of control, and what should be simple magic spells cause unexpected chaos when recited.
Some students, when casting healing magic, not only failed to heal their injuries but actually worsened them; others summoned elemental spirits, only to attract violent elemental storms, nearly causing a major disaster.
Chen Xiao realized that this was another instance of the dark forces pulling the strings behind the scenes.
In order to find out the truth, she brought the Star Codex to the library of the magic academy, hoping to find clues in the ancient books.
In a dusty ancient book, she discovered a dark magic called the "Magic Erosion Curse".
This kind of magic can silently infiltrate every corner of the magical world, interfering with the normal operation of magical elements, thus causing magic to go out of control.
The key to casting this spell lies in a small section of forbidden incantations from the Star Codex.
Chen Xiao suddenly realized that the dark forces had anticipated that they would bring the Star Codex back to the Night Dynasty, and thus set this trap in advance.
Using this forbidden spell, they planted the seed of the "Magic Erosion Spell" in the Night Dynasty's magical network, attempting to plunge the entire magical world into chaos.
Just as Chen Xiao was pondering a countermeasure, members of the dark forces suddenly appeared in the library.
The leader was a mysterious figure wearing a black hood, exuding a powerful and evil aura.
The mysterious figure sneered, "Chen Xiao, do you think you can rest easy just because you've obtained the Star Codex? How naive! The 'Magic Erosion Spell' has already taken effect, and the entire magical world will be under my control!"
Chen Xiao responded fearlessly, "Your scheme will not succeed! We will definitely find a way to break the 'Magic Erosion Curse' and defeat you completely!"
The two sides disagreed and engaged in fierce fighting again.
The mysterious figure unleashed powerful dark magic, engaging in a fierce and evenly matched battle with Chen Xiao and the others.
During the battle, Chen Xiao discovered that the mysterious man's magic techniques were different from those of the dark forces he had encountered before. His magic was more bizarre and powerful, as if it had been enhanced by some kind of mysterious power.
In order to protect the Star Codex and the precious books in the library, Chen Xiao decided to lead his companions to lure the mysterious person to the open space outside the academy.
There, they can freely cast spells without being restricted by location.
Upon arriving outside the academy, the battle between the two sides intensified.
The mysterious figure summoned a group of magical beasts formed from dark magic. These beasts bared their fangs and claws and launched a frenzied attack on Chen Xiao and the others.
Chen Xiao and the others worked closely together, unleashing various spells to engage in a fierce battle with the magical beast.
At a crucial moment in the battle, Chen Xiao suddenly discovered a tiny flaw in the mysterious man's magic.
She seized the opportunity and cast the "Star Guardian" spell, a dazzling light instantly striking the mysterious man.
The mysterious man screamed, and his body began to become ethereal.
It turns out that his true form wasn't here, but was being remotely controlled through dark magic.
Seeing that things were going badly, the mysterious man immediately stopped his attack and prepared to retreat.
Chen Xiao was not about to let him escape so easily, so she used magic to try to trap the mysterious man.
However, the mysterious man used a powerful teleportation spell and disappeared from Chen Xiao and the others' sight.
Although the mysterious person escaped, Chen Xiao and the others were not discouraged.
They knew that the dark forces would not give up easily, and the challenges ahead would be even more severe.
In order to break the "Magic Erosion Curse" and save the magical world, Chen Xiao decides to delve deeper into the Star Codex and seek its secrets.
In the days that followed, Chen Xiao and his companions studied the Star Codex day and night, consulting a large amount of information and conducting countless experiments.
Finally, they discovered a record in the Star Codex about breaking the "Magic Erosion Curse".
According to records, to break the "Magic Erosion Curse," three mysterious gems known as the "Heart of the Stars" are needed.
These three gems contain powerful forces of light, life, and wisdom, respectively. Only by collecting them can the magic corrupted by dark magic be purified.
Chen Xiao knew that the journey to find the "Heart of the Stars" would be full of hardships and dangers, but for the peace and tranquility of the magical world, she and her companions embarked on the journey without hesitation.
They didn't know what awaited them, but they firmly believed that as long as there was light and hope in their hearts, they would surely be able to overcome the darkness and protect the beauty of the magical world.
