Chapter 723 Background


"Then, let's go to the north! No matter how difficult the road is, we will persevere." Sebastian stood up and clenched his fist hard. His momentum infected everyone.

After the decision was made, the sailboat set off again, heading towards the north. Along the way, the news spread like wildfire, and more people learned about their heroic deeds. They not only became the protagonists of children's bedtime stories, but also ignited the light of hope in people's hearts.

"Look, those are the legendary warriors, they are heading to the north!" A businessman sighed to his traveling companions, his eyes full of admiration.

"I heard that they can bring peace." A young woman next to her whispered, her tone full of yearning.

The sailboat passed the last port and was about to enter the dangerous ice area. A group of seagulls followed the stern of the ship and seemed to be seeing them off. "Even the seagulls know that you are heroes who are going to do great things." The old captain at the port shouted to Klein and the others, with respect and reluctance in his voice.

Entering the north, the frozen landscape is like another world, everything is covered in white snow and silent. In a vast snowfield, a group of people met a lone shaman.

"Travelers in a foreign land, why are you here?" The shaman was covered in thick fur, his face was vicissitudes of life, and his eyes were shining with the light of wisdom.

"We are here to find the holy sword and complete the fusion of the holy objects." Klein explained his purpose sincerely.

The shaman smiled slightly, with recognition in his eyes: "Your journey is full of challenges, but also full of hope. The temple in the north hides ancient power, but to awaken it, you must pass the test and prove your will and purity."< br>


After a series of trials, they found the Holy Sword under a glacier illuminated by eternal light. Klein held the hilt of the sword. The holy sword responded to his call and slowly rose from the ice. The sword's blade burst out with bright light, dispelling the surrounding cold.

"This is our weapon, the power to fight against darkness." Klein announced, the light of the holy sword reflected on his face, making him look particularly determined.

Back on the boat, the four people sat around the holy sword. Under their guidance, the light of the holy object began to echo each other and slowly merged. At that moment, the world seemed to be shaking, and an unprecedented power flowed between them.

"It's done." Klein said softly, his eyes reflecting the faces of all his partners and the upcoming battle.

"Next, it's our battlefield." Sebastian clenched his fists, with fighting intent burning in his eyes.

"No matter what is waiting for us ahead, we will face it together." Ivan's voice was full of determination.

"Yes," Su Mo added, his fingers gently stroking the cold light of the holy sword, "Now, we are not only sword-holders, but also messengers of light."

At this moment, a distant bell seemed to travel through time and space, coming from the depths of the North, echoing in their hearts, making everyone involuntarily fall silent.

"It's time." Klein stood up, determination flashing in his eyes, "The bells are calling, and the shadows of darkness are approaching. We must set off immediately to go to their source."

The sailboat broke through the ice, crossed the endless glaciers, and finally arrived at an ancient fortress hidden in the snowstorm - the stronghold of the dark forces. There was a depressing atmosphere all around, as if even the air was telling the tragedy of the past.

"This place... is more gloomy than imagined." Ivan held the sword in his hand tightly and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

"It is places like this that hide the answers we are looking for." Sebastian's voice was full of unyieldingness.

They carefully sneaked into the fortress and discovered a huge underground hall. On the altar in the center, a black crystal stone exuded evil light, attracting countless twisted souls to dance around it.

"That's the Heart of Darkness..." Su Mo whispered. He could feel the malice emanating from that stone, corroding everything around him.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded, breaking the dead silence of the palace: "Welcome to the embrace of darkness, warriors. I am the guardian of this fortress. I have been waiting for challengers like you for a long time. .”

A figure in black robes slowly walked out of the shadows. He held a staff studded with obsidian. Every movement revealed a power that should not be underestimated.

"Your wait is going to be in vain," Klein took a step forward, the holy sword unsheathed, shining brightly, "because we are here to end all this."

The battle was about to break out, and the two sides launched a fierce duel in the huge palace. Klein and his companions used the power gained from the fusion of sacred objects to compete with the Dark Guardian's evil spells. Every collision shook the entire palace, even causing the blizzard outside to tremble.

"This... what kind of power is this!" The Dark Guardian was forced to retreat under Klein's all-out attack, and his eyes showed horror for the first time.

"It is the light and the will of all those who believe in us." Klein gasped, but his eyes were firm.

Just as they were preparing to give the Dark Guardian the final blow, an old but majestic voice sounded in the air: "That's enough, young warriors."

A figure gradually emerged, an old man wearing a white robe. His appearance made the dark energy in the entire hall seem to be temporarily restrained.

"Who are you?" Klein asked warily, still holding the holy sword tightly.

"I am one of the guardians of this world. For a long time, my colleagues and I have maintained the balance between light and darkness." The old man said slowly, "But I never expected that the power of darkness would be so raging. Your arrival gives me hope.”

"Do you know how to end this completely?" Ivan asked eagerly.

The old man nodded and pointed to the heart of darkness: "The heart of darkness must be purified, not destroyed. Only true light can wash away the filth in it and restore the balance of the world."

Under the guidance of the old man, Klein and the others worked together to perform an ancient and powerful ritual, completely releasing the power of the three holy objects, gathering them into a beam of dazzling light, and shooting towards the heart of darkness.

With a deafening roar, the black energy on the surface of the Heart of Darkness gradually dissipated and turned into dots of light, blending into the entire palace and even the world beyond. Those bound souls were also freed, turning into soft lights and disappearing into the sky.

"We succeeded..." Alvin said softly, with excitement and relief in his eyes.

"But this is just the beginning. The struggle between light and darkness will never stop." Klein looked back at his companions with an imperceptible smile on his lips, "However, as long as we have light in our hearts, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." < br>


"Yes, we will always be on the road to protect this hard-won peace." Sebastian nodded heavily, his eyes shining with expectations for the future.

Su Mo, on the other hand, lowered his head and thought: "Perhaps, this is our mission as 'Guardians'."

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory and the prospect of the future, the old man's voice sounded again, with an unusual heaviness: "There is more important information that I must tell you."

Klein and others turned to look at the old man, waiting for his next words.

"Although the Heart of Darkness has been purified, what it reveals is a deeper threat." The old man's eyes became profound. "At the other end of the world, there is a forgotten abyss, where ancient and powerful existences are imprisoned. , it is the root of all dark forces. Now, its seal is gradually loosening. If it is not stopped in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"This... what should we do?" Ivan's expression became solemn.

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said: "The ancient prophecy mentioned four brave men who will hold holy objects, cross the boundaries of time and space, and face the challenge of the abyss. It is you who I met."

"Across time and space?" Su Mo muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes," the old man nodded, "You need to find the Gate of Time and Space, which can lead you to the abyss. But please remember, this will be a more dangerous journey than before, and there may even be no return. ”

"We have no choice, do we?" Sebastian clenched his fists with firm eyes, "If that is our destiny, then let us face it."

Klein looked at the backs of his companions, and a warm current surged in his heart. "Let's go together and come back together." His words were concise but full of power.

The old man smiled and nodded, handing them an ancient sheepskin scroll, "This is the map to the door to time and space, and the key to opening it. Remember, faith and courage will guide your path."
< br>

After bidding farewell to the old man, Klein and his group embarked on a journey to find the Gate of Time and Space. The news spread like wildfire again, and the legend about them became more legendary, inspiring more people to face difficulties bravely.

In a remote town, when Klein and the others were resting, a child ran up to him with curiosity and reverence in his eyes: "Brothers and sisters, are you really going to defeat that big monster?"
< br>

Klein knelt down and touched the child's head tenderly, "Yes, we have to protect the world and prevent it from being harmed."

The child's eyes lit up instantly, "I also want to be a hero like you!"

Klein smiled and stood up, "Everyone can be the hero in his or her own story. Remember, bravery and kindness are your most powerful weapons."

As the journey progressed, they encountered unprecedented difficulties and obstacles, but with the help of passers-by, they were able to avoid danger time and time again. People spread word of mouth about their deeds, ranging from surprise and admiration to deep trust and support.

In an accident, they rescued a trapped traveler. The man burst into tears of gratitude: "I never thought I could see the legendary warrior with my own eyes. It was you who made me believe that light will eventually dispel darkness."


Finally, on a bright moonlit night, they stood in front of the gate of time and space. The ancient door revealed a faint light, as if it was a call from another world.

"Are you ready?" Klein turned his head and looked at his companion.

"We have been ready from the beginning." Sebastian, Alvin and Su Mo responded one by one, and the four of them clasped their hands tightly.

The moment they were about to step through the door, Klein stopped and looked back at the vast world behind him, "For the sake of the light and for every soul who believes in us, we will return."

"Go forward!" The four people shouted in unison, stepped into the gate of time and space, and disappeared into the night, leaving only a string of firm vows echoing in the wind.

On the other side of the door is an unknown world. The sky shows strange colors, the air is filled with strange fragrance, and the surrounding scenery is constantly changing, as if traveling through the long river of time and space. The few people stabilized their bodies, and the scene before them gradually became clearer. They came to a desolate place, with a majestic mountain range in the distance. At the foot of the mountain, the so-called abyss seemed to be whispering, waiting for their arrival.

"The feeling here... is familiar yet strange at the same time." Su Mo looked around and whispered.

"No matter what, our goal is clear." Klein held the holy sword tightly and looked forward firmly, "Find that ancient existence and prevent its awakening."

Just as they were preparing to embark on the journey, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and a group of ragged residents appeared in sight. They looked panicked. When they saw Klein and others, a trace of disbelief flashed in their eyes.

"Are you... warriors from the outside world?" an old man asked tremblingly, and the surrounding villagers also gathered around, with both shock and hope in their eyes.

"We are here to help you." Ivan took a step forward and answered calmly, his tone reassuring.

"Great, we haven't seen the light of hope for a long time." The old man turned to the villagers with tears in his eyes, "Look, the messenger of light has arrived, and our suffering is about to end!"

The villagers burst into cheers. They surrounded Klein and his party, telling them about the fear and despair brought about by the abyss over the years, as well as their desire for freedom and peace. This scene made the four warriors feel even more responsible.

"We will do everything we can to end this." Klein promised, his eyes full of belief in victory.

Under the guidance of the villagers, they walked through the winding mountain road. With every step forward, the call of the abyss became clearer. Finally, in front of a cliff, they found the entrance to the abyss, which was shrouded in thick darkness, like a crack at the end of the world.

"This is it." Sebastian said solemnly, his clenched fists trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because of excitement.

"Are you ready? Once you enter, you may never be able to look back." Klein reminded, knowing the dangers of this trip.

"For the sake of the light, for the eyes behind us that trust us, nothing can stop us." Ivan's words inspired everyone.

The four of them looked at each other, no more words needed, their tacit understanding and determination said it all. Just as they stepped into the abyss, suddenly, a young woman's voice came from the crowd: "Please come back, our heroes!" (End of Chapter)
