Before Chen Xiao and his companions could even properly savor their victory, a sudden earthquake shattered the tranquility of the magical world.
The ground shook violently, magical buildings collapsed one after another, and panic quickly spread among the crowd.
With his keen senses, Chen Xiao realized that this was not an ordinary geological disaster, but rather the work of a dark magical force.
In the ruins, they discovered some strange black crystals that exuded a cold and evil aura.
After examination by senior professors at the magic academy, these crystals were found to be the product of an ancient forbidden magic, behind which lay a mysterious organization called the "Shadow Council".
It is said that this organization attempted to rule the magical world a thousand years ago, but was eventually sealed away by a coalition of powerful magicians at the time. Now, however, it seems to be making a comeback.
To thwart the Shadow Council's conspiracy, Chen Xiao and his companions embark on a journey to find clues.
According to ancient records, they learned that in the far north of the magical world, there was a forgotten ruin that might hold important information about the "Shadow Council".
When they finally reached the far north after a long and arduous journey, the sight before them made everyone gasp in horror.
The entire ruins were covered by a thick layer of frost, and an eerie mist filled the air, with chilling roars heard from time to time.
As soon as they stepped into the ruins, a gust of wind howled past, and countless ice blades attacked from all directions.
Chen Xiao and his companions quickly cast defensive magic and barely managed to withstand the attack.
Upon venturing deeper into the ruins, they discovered that the place was riddled with traps and mechanisms, and a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.
While solving a complex magical mechanism, one of the team members accidentally triggered a hidden curse, and his body was gradually corrupted by dark forces, leaving him in critical condition.
Chen Xiao was extremely anxious. She used her profound understanding of magic, combined with the knowledge she learned from ancient books, to try to find a way to break the curse.
After a series of difficult attempts, they finally succeeded in dispelling the dark power from their companion.
Deep within the ruins, they discovered a giant magic mirror.
As Chen Xiao approached the mirror, a series of blurry images suddenly appeared in it. In the images, members of the "Shadow Council" were performing an evil ritual, seemingly summoning some powerful dark creature.
The image in the mirror flashed by, and then a string of mysterious runes appeared on the mirror.
After carefully studying the runes, Chen Xiao discovered that they were the coordinates for a teleportation point to the secret stronghold of the "Shadow Council".
Despite knowing the dangers ahead, Chen Xiao and his companions resolutely decided to travel through the portal to the enemy's stronghold in order to stop the Shadow Council's conspiracy.
The moment they stepped into the portal, a powerful dark force rushed towards them, engulfing them in a space filled with black mist.
In this space, they encountered numerous obstacles from the "Shadow Council," with dark mages unleashing various evil spells in an attempt to annihilate them.
Undeterred, Chen Xiao and his companions broke through the enemy's defenses time and time again, relying on their superb magical skills and close teamwork.
During the fierce battle, Chen Xiao discovered that the members of the "Shadow Council" seemed to be guarding a huge magic circle. This magic circle exuded a chilling aura, and once activated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In order to destroy the magic circle, Chen Xiao decided to lead his companions in a final charge.
In a thrilling final battle, Chen Xiao and his companions fought a desperate battle against the members of the "Shadow Council".
Just as the magic circle was about to activate, Chen Xiao concentrated all his magical power and unleashed a powerful spell he had never used before, successfully destroying the magic circle.
As the magic circle shattered, the members of the Shadow Council fell to the ground, unable to resist.
However, Chen Xiao did not let her guard down, knowing that the mastermind behind the "Shadow Council" had not yet revealed himself.
Sure enough, at that moment, a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness, emanating an aura that was more powerful and malevolent than that of the others.
This man was the leader of the "Shadow Council," his eyes flashing with hatred and madness, vowing to make Chen Xiao and the others pay a heavy price.
An even fiercer battle is about to begin...
Chen Xiao and his companions stood ready, their eyes fixed on the leader of the "Shadow Council".
The leader was surrounded by a thick black mist. With a wave of his hand, several black lightning bolts, carrying destructive power, attacked them like venomous snakes.
Chen Xiao quickly erected a sturdy magical shield in front of him. Lightning struck the shield, producing a deafening sound. The shield shook violently, and cracks spread out like a spider web.
Not to be outdone, the other members also displayed their unique skills.
Ellie, skilled in water magic, conjured a massive water curtain in an attempt to weaken the power of the lightning; Karl, proficient in earth magic, erected earthen walls on the ground to provide everyone with additional defense.
However, the leader's strength far exceeded expectations. His attacks were like a relentless tide, leaving everyone exhausted from dealing with them.
During the fierce battle, Chen Xiao discovered that although the leader's magic was powerful, there would be a brief pause after each powerful attack.
She astutely seized this opening and signaled her companions to concentrate their firepower.
When the leader launched another attack, Chen Xiao seized the opportunity and used his newly mastered spatial magic to instantly appear behind the leader. He then slammed a magical orb containing immense power into the leader's hand.
The leader reacted quickly, dodging the fatal blow by sidestepping, but was still hit by the aftershock of the magic orb, and his figure swayed slightly.
